This is based on an idea I had for a music video (don't ask) and if you don't like sad endings, then you shouldn't read this. And don't be mislead by the beginning, it's definitely a SasuNaru.

My first SasuNaru fiction, so please be gentle.

Also, before I forget, if you like Sakura I suggest you don't read this.


"Hey, Sakura, here comes your favorite person in the whole world," Tenten said, pointing to the young man walking their way.

"Shhh, Tenten, sheesh, could you be any louder?!"

And as Sasuke made his way through the hall, many girls swooned, and said, 'Good morning.' Sasuke, being the person that he is, did not respond to any of them.

"Ahhh, he's so cool," Sakura said aloud and then waved her arm and shouted, "Good morning, Sasuke!"

Sasuke did his usual reply, which turned out to be no reply at all. He simply went to his classroom and sat down at his usual seat, then he put his elbows on the desk and intertwined his own fingers and stared at the blackboard, as if concentrating on one thing. Just like he always did.

"Sakura, I don't really understand why you like him, I mean he's no social person. In fact, all he really does is sit there and stare at the blackboard," Tenten said.

"That's because you only see him in the morning, he's part of the track team, ya know," Sakura said in an as-a-matter-of-fact tone.

"Whatever, I guess I'll see you around," said Tenten as she left for her homeroom.

'Sasuke does NOT just sit there and stare at the black board,' Sakura thought as she walked in her room and took her place a couple of seats behind Sasuke. Just then the bell for homeroom to start rang.

'He SO does SO much more than that.'

The homeroom teacher walked in.

"Okay, class, be quiet and listen to me," he said. "Today we have a new student."

"Where's he from, Kakashi-sensei?" asked some random student.

"That's a good question, ask him when he gets here," he said with a smile. Although, you could not see this smile for he was wearing a white mouth cover. -1-

"Come on in," Kakashi said, and made a hand gesture toward the door. And through that door stepped in the blonde boy we all know and love, Naruto.

"Hi! My name is Uzumaki Naruto!" he said waving and smiling at his new classmates. But his smile turned into a slight frown, for almost immediately after saying his name, the class broke out into whispers.

"Y'mean Uzumaki Naruto as in the same Uzumaki mass murderer's son?"

"I heard all about the case, he killed thousands…"

"I heard that after he killed them he ate the bodies."

"Well, my mother said that he burned them to hide the evidence."

"And her callus was THIS big, no lie."

"Who keeps throwing paper balls at me?!"

"And then after he killed the girls he would…"

"I heard that when he was a little boy he idolized Jack the Ripper." -2-

"My dad said he was the one who set his old house on fire, I still think it was my pyromaniac of an uncle though."

Kakashi turned to Naruto with a smile and said, "My, my. It seems like you're the popular one."

"Okay, class, quiet down," Kakashi said. "Let's all give Mr. Uzumaki a warm welcome!"

"…"

"Close enough. Please take a seat next to…Ah! There's one open by Mr. Uchiha," Kakashi said, pointing to the seat.

"…Who?" asked Naruto, a bit confused.

"You see that boy with sitting there in the middle of the room? The one with his hands on his desk and he's looking at the blackboard although nothing's on it?" asked Kakashi pointing directly at Sasuke.

"…No," said Naruto scratching his head.

"Mr. Uchiha, please raise your hand," Kakashi instructed. Sasuke obeyed.

"Sit next to him, the seat to your left, his right," Kakashi said. Naruto nodded and headed towards Sasuke.

'Now what is my left…Ah! There's an open seat!' Naruto thought as he sat down. Naruto's seat was in the middle part of the desks, with a wall to his right, and Sasuke his left.

'ARGH! Naruto's so lucky! He gets to sit next to Sasuke-kun! UGH! I wish I was him!' Sakura thought.

"Okay, today class we are going to learn about the wonderful world of transitive and intransitive verbs. Please pay attention as I don't feel like repeating myself," Kakashi said as he starting writing words on the blackboard. -3-

"Mr. Uchiha, please update Mr. Uzumaki as to what is going on," Kakashi said.

Sasuke rolled his eyes and sighed. He took out his notebook and leaned over to Naruto.

"This is currently English class. These are all the notes we've had so far," Sasuke said showing his notebook to Naruto. His notes were neat, well-organized, and easy to understand.

"The most important parts are highlighted in yellow, and any rules are highlighted in green. I suggest you memorize those," Sasuke said pointing to various parts of the notebook.

Sasuke looked up from his explanation and looked Naruto in the eyes and said, "You getting all this?"

Naruto looked at him and realized that Sasuke was quite handsome. He had perfectly porcelain skin, dark eyes, and ebony hair.

"Y-yeah," Naruto said, he could feel a blush rising to his cheeks and averted his eyes from Sasuke's, to the notebook.

'Why is this guy so pretty?' Naruto asked mentally.

Sasuke, once again, rolled his eyes, "You can borrow these notes for tonight. Everything should be quite clear."

Sasuke then took out some loose pieces of notebook paper and quickly started jotting everything down on the blackboard. Despite the fact he was being hasty, his notes were still simple and clean. Naruto then took this as a cue to start taking down notes also, so he did. He opened a notebook and started writing down the stuff on the blackboard. By the time he was half-way through, he realized this wasn't his notebook.

"Uh-oh..." Naruto said, and flipped through it. Yep, it was the notebook Sasuke had just handed to him. Naruto then started re-writing the notes on another piece of paper, and after he was finished, he crossed out the notes he wrote in Sasuke's notebook and wrote something else down.

Meanwhile, Sakura is sitting at her desk. Fuming.

'Not ONLY does he get to sit next to Sasuke-kun, but he gets to look at his NOTES?! DOES LIFE JUST HATE ME?!' Sakura screamed in her head. She was so angry that she had snapped her pencil in two…for the second time…

'Calm down Sakura, calm down. It's no big deal, he's only being nice to Naruto,' Sakura mentally said while grabbing a new pencil.

"Any questions?"

"Uhm, yeah Kakashi-sensei, I have one," said the same random student as before.

"Too bad. Ask one of your classmates, maybe I'll answer it…tomorrow. Well, this concludes today's lesson," said Kakashi as he left for his next class. The school day went on, and the math teacher came in, taught and left. After the math teacher, the history teacher came in, taught, and left. -4- Sasuke also gave his notes to Naruto for those classes.

Soon it was half-way during the day. Which meant one thing: lunch time! Too bad for Naruto he had forgot his money in his rush to get to school on time.

"Ugh…I'm so hungry," Naruto said as he laid his head on his desk. He turned to his left to see that Sasuke was gone, it's not like it mattered to Naruto, but he did wonder where he went.

"Hey, Naruto!" Sakura said as she approached him and gave him a smile. "My name's Sakura."

'Is this school for beautiful people?!' Naruto wondered to himself.

"Hey, Sakura-chan," Naruto said.

"How do you like the school so far?" she asked him, smiling.

"It's okay," he said, he was still so very hungry.

"Hey, Sakura! Could you come here for a second?" said a student near the window, waving his arm and motioning for her.

"Sure! I've got to go, see you, Naruto!" she said as she walked off.

'Damn those guys! That could've have been my chance to get my hands on Sasuke's notebook!' Sakura mentally cursed the guy who just called her over.

Naruto, deciding that sitting there thinking of food wasn't helping, went on a search for the staircase, so he could go up to the roof. Through the halls he heard some people talking.

"Kiba! How many times do I have to tell you?! I don't care about your mother's callus!" said some student with sunglasses to the one called Kiba.

"But it was huuge!" Kiba said, using a hand gesture to exaggerate his statement.

Naruto found the staircase and preceded to the roof. Where he found none other than Sasuke. Sasuke was sitting there, eating a perfect home-made lunch.

"Whoa! The view's great up here!" Naruto said as he walked over to the fence and looked over the building. On one side you could see the school garden fully equipped with different blossom trees, none of which were in bloom due to the fact it was mid-January. On another you could see the rooftops of the city along with cars weaving in and out of the streets.

"Do you eat here everyday?" Naruto asked with a goofy grin on his face.

"…Yeah," Sasuke said as he continued to eat his food.

"No wonder, it's so nice!" Naruto said turning his attention back to the ground below him. He then sat down next to the eating boy.

"Did your mom make your lunch?" Naruto asked.

"No. I don't have a mom," said Sasuke, not taking his attention away from his food.

"Really? Me either," Naruto said. They sat there, in a comfortable silence.

"What hap--" Naruto was cut off.

"Sasuke-kuun!" Sakura said as she opened the door to the roof. "I brought you some…dessert. Naruto? What are you doing up here?"

'And WHY are you sitting next to Sasuke-kun?!'

"Hey, Sakura-chan!" Naruto said, smiling and waving.

"Uhm, well, I'm just here to bring Sasuke-kun his dessert. Here you go!" Sakura said, handing Sasuke a little box with a ribbon on it.

"No thank you, I don't want it," Sasuke said.

"Oh! I'll take it! I'm starving!" Naruto said.

"No!…I mean, I made this especially for Sasuke-kun, so I want only him to have it," Sakura said.

"Oh, okay," said a dejected Naruto.

"Just give it to him," Sasuke said.

"But I made it for you…"

"Ugh, fine, I'll take it," Sasuke said as he received the little ribboned box.

"Yay! See ya, Sasuke-kun! Bye Naruto!" Sakura waved as she left the rooftop and went down the stairs.

'One step closer to becoming his girlfriend!' Sakura thought giddily.

"Here," Sasuke said, shoving the box in Naruto's face.

"Huh?" Naruto asked taking the box subconsciously. "I thought she gave it to you?"

"She did, making it mine. I didn't want it, so I gave it to you, so now it's yours."

"But it wouldn't feel right…" Naruto said, looking at the box.

"She won't know, it won't matter," Sasuke said.

"But…" Naruto.

"Just eat the stupid thing," Sasuke said, standing up, brushing himself off.

He looked down at Naruto, who was looking up at him, holding a cupcake towards Sasuke.

"Eat some," said Naruto, "Just a bite will do my conscience good."

Sasuke sighed and rolled his eyes, bent down and took a bite from the cupcake that was still in Naruto's hand. Sasuke chewed and swallowed, and noticed that Naruto was laughing at him.

"…What?" Sasuke asked.

"You've got pink frosting all over your mouth, it looks like lipstick," Naruto said laughing and pointing at Sasuke. Sasuke took his finger and touched his lip, and Naruto was right, there indeed was pink frosting on his lips. Sasuke licked it off and took his lunch box and left the rooftop a bit flustered.

"Don't know why Sasuke didn't want these cupcakes, they're delicious!" Naruto said as he consumed the rest of them.

Sasuke was wandering the halls, and whilst doing so was wondering why he had been flustered in front of the blond boy. Sasuke, being the person that he is, dismissed it and told himself that he wasn't flustered at all. He was Sasuke, and nothing got him flustered.

Then, Sasuke's worst annoyance came skipping around the corner.

Sakura.

Why was she everywhere he was?!

"Sasuke-kun! Did you try my cupcakes?" Sakura asked smiling sweetly.

"Yes," Sasuke said, and continued walking, and unastonishingly enough, she followed.

"Welll?"

"What?"

"Did you like them?" she asked, looking for appraisement.

"…Ugh, Sakura, don't you have somewhere to be?" Sasuke asked.

"Oh yeah! I'm suppose to get notes from someone," Sakura said, trying to play dumb.

"Silly me!" she said as she lightly punched her head and stuck her tongue out. -5-

"Wanna walk back to class together?" she suggested.

"Not really, I have to make a stop here," Sasuke said, as he stopped in front of the boys' bathroom.

"Oh…Well see you in class, Sasuke-kun!" she said walking in the direction of the classroom while waving to him. Sasuke walked into the boys' bathroom, although he did not have to use it at all. It was simply an excuse to get away from her. So, after standing in a stall for a couple of minutes, he flushed the toilet, washed his hands and left, he did all of this to make the illusion of him using the bathroom all the more real.

Sasuke could sense that the bell was about to ring, he hand no watch only his sixth sense (he was a ninja in his previous life after all…). So, Sasuke being the 'perfect' being that he is scurried along to get to class on time, he was not going to ruin his perfect attendance record.

Sasuke sat down at his desk, intertwined his fingers and sat there. In his peripheral vision, he noticed that Naruto was not at his seat. To Sasuke it wasn't something significant, but it was something to take a small note of.

And just as the bell rang, Naruto popped in and made his way to his seat. The chemistry teacher came in, and decided they all should go to the chemistry laboratory. So, they all put on their lab coats and goggles and continued to the chemistry lab.

"Okay, I need you guys to pair up," said Kurenai. "Naruto since you're new and all, you should probably pair up with someone who knows what they're doing. Any volunteers?"

No one dared raised their hand. They all feared the son of a mass murderer.

Naruto's heart sunk.

Sasuke looked around, sighed, and raised his hand. In his mind, or rather his conscious mind, chances were that if no one raised their hand he would be picked as Naruto's partner, and rather than going through all that he volunteered.

"Perfect! Okay Naruto go over there with Sasuke," Kurenai instructed. Naruto did as he was told, and took a seat next to him.

Class continued as usual, Naruto borrowed yet another set of notes from Sasuke. They had to do a few experiments and Sasuke basically did them all since Naruto was pretty clueless.

The whole time during class Naruto smiled and laughed, but really his mind was elsewhere, thinking about his fellow classmates and how they didn't want him.

After Chemistry came gym, the last class of the day. The current sport that they are playing is soccer.

"Here Naruto, your gym uniform. I personally think that it restricts the body, but that's just my opinion. I just want you to know that if you were to wear say…A FULL BODY SUIT that would okay with me!" said Gai to Naruto, he also gave him a thumbs up and his teeth became all shiny.

Although many people thought Gai was weird, Naruto didn't think anything of it. Naruto walked into the boys' locker room, changed and left. When he got out to the field, captains were already picking their teams. The ones that were left were Shikamaru, Chouji, Naruto, and some other boy. Let's call him Tai.

"I'll take Tai," said Kiba pointing to the mentioned boy.

"I guess I'll take Shikamaru then," said another boy that's not important enough to get a real name like Tai.

"Chouji."

"You can have Naruto," said the other captain.

"But I don't want him," said Kiba. "'Sides, it's your turn anyways."

"Ugh. Fine," said nameless boy.

"Okay, since Kiba picked first, the other team goes," Gai said. Everyone got into position except Chouji and Shikamaru. Shikamaru called sports troublesome and walked off to lay in the grass and watch clouds, Chouji joined none too later.

'Now's my chance to show them what I'm made of!' Naruto thought mentally. As soon as the game started, he went straight for the ball.

"HYAA!" Naruto yelled as he kicked the small black and white soccer ball with all his might. The ball was headed straight for the goal, it was going to make it in and he'd be the hero having made the first goal.

At least, that's what it seemed to look like.

Although it looked like it was heading for the goal, it went off course and hit the white part of the goal, bounced off, and hit Shino in the back of the head.

Everyone laughed, except for Shino who glared at Naruto.

"What a sucker!" someone laughed at Naruto.

"Loser," another said as the game continued.

Naruto laughed it off and continued playing as if nothing happened, although it was the third cut in Naruto's heart. And this was just his first day.


This was originally going to be a one-shot, so if it seems rushed in the beginning, then that's why. I was too lazy to go back and edit it. Also, if it seems crappy in the end, I got lazy. Then again, I'm writing this at like midnight on a school night.

Some footnotes:

-1- In Japan they have these white masks that they put over their face when you have a cold. It covers both your nose and mouth, this is the mask I was talking about.

-2- I can't remember why I put a number there. Something about how in this universe Jack the Ripper exists or something…If you don't know who he was, in the 1800's, I believe, he was a murderer who killed prostitutes, the police never caught him and eventually he stopped killing.

-3- At this part I had the sudden urge to write:

'Ah! The blackboard commands me to listen!' Sasuke thought.

"TEACH ME, ALMIGHTY BLACKBOARD!" Sasuke yelled while standing up and bowing to it. "Oh, did I just do that?"

But I didn't. I've noticed, I love poking fun at Sasuke.

-4- In Japanese classrooms, the teacher comes, teaches, and leaves, then another teacher comes, teaches, and leaves. The only exception to this is gym class, where they go to the gym. Japanese students basically stay in the classroom the whole day, including during lunch, however they are not restricted to the classroom during lunch. My Japanese teacher told me this, so I'm not entirely sure how accurate this is, but I have yet to come across something that contradicts this.

-5- If you've ever read Deathnote, Misa did this once. I think it was when she was trying to get Higuchi confess that he was Kira.

There were some other funny things I thought of while writing this that were mostly cracked induced, and like for the third footnote, I was going to write it out…as a footnote. But that didn't happen since this thing is long enough as is. The actual story alone is almost 3,000 words…Yikes. Please don't expect the next chapters to be this long. I'm far too lazy to keep up with this kind of thing. And I really have no clue on where this story's going anymore…

I'll shut up now. See you in chapter 2! Also, reviews are always welcomed, as is criticism.
