"You are my friend, ahh," Naruko sang to herself quietly as she rode her bike to her new school. She was ecstatic to find that the school had a bike rack for her to chain her bike to. She straightened her skirt and turned her iPod off. She found her shoe locker and changed into the slippers provided by the school then made her way to the main office. There was a woman with black hair doing paper work and Naruko gave her a big smile. "Ohayou, Shizune-san!" she exclaimed.
Shizune looked up and returned the blonde's smile. "Naruko-chan, you're here!"
"And you're late!"
Both Naruko and Shizune turned their heads to Tsunade. She had a glare focused on the blonde.
Naruko put a hand behind her head and giggled nervously. "Gomen Oba-chan. You see what happened was—"
"You will address me as Kochou-sama here, understood?" Tsunade ordered cutting Naruko off. "Shizune, give Namikaze-san her schedule."
Naruko pouted as she watched her grandmother retreat to her office. She looked over at Shizune who smiled apologetically at her and gave her a paper. Naruko sighed and went to her homeroom. I'm only like 10 minutes late, jeez, she thought to herself. When she got to her homeroom door she knocked then slid it open. Her teacher gave her a smile and motioned her to come in.
"You must be Namikaze-san. I'm Yuhi Kurenai-sensei, your homeroom teacher." She held a hand out for Naruko to shake then turned to the class. "Minna-san, quiet down. We have a new student." She looked at Naruko, signaling her to introduce herself.
Naruko bowed to the class. "Ohayou godzaimasu minna, my name is Namikaze…Naruko." She was distracted by a familiar face in the crowd of her classmates. Oh fuck, she thought to herself. Onyx eyes met with ocean blue orbs. They both had the same look of surprise and quickly looked away. Naruko coughed awkwardly and continued her introduction. "Uh, sorry, I was trying to figure out what to tell you guys. Anyway, I like dancing and baking. I hope that we can all get along." Everyone clapped.
"Alright, you can sit next to Uchiha-san," Kurenai said pointing to the empty seat next to the last person on Earth Naruko wanted to be next to.
"Hai," Naruko said trying not to sound nervous. She noticed that all the girls in her class, except for a girl with lavender eyes, were glaring at her now and the guys were glaring at the raven haired boy. Naruko refused to make eye contact with the boy and sat down. She kept twirling the end of her left pony tail and tried to not have a panic attack.
Kurenai started the lecture World History and Naruko did her best to concentrate. In the middle of the lecture a note was tossed on her desk. Naruko slowly opened it.
'Would you relax? I'm not gonna say anything about what happened –S'
She looked over at the raven haired boy and smiled. She wrote "thanks" and tossed the note back. She stopped fussing with her hair and relaxed.
Finally the bell rang for lunch. Some people moved their seats to talk with friends, some left the class to go to the cafeteria and people from other classes entered. As Naruko took her lunch out someone tapped her shoulder. She turned to meet eyes with the raven haired boy.
"Hi there, Sasuke," she said quietly.
Sasuke leaned on his desk and put his hands in his pockets. "Well, I didn't expect to see you here. How are you feeling?"
Naruko chuckled nervously. "I'm alright. A lot better actually since that time."
Sasuke smirked at her. "Well, mum is the word, alright? If you need anything don't be afraid to ask. We're gonna be sitting next to each other for a while anyway."
Naruko smiled. "Can we eat lunch together, on a count of it seems every girl in here seems to hate me and I know absolutely no one."
"Sasuke-kun!" someone shouted.
Sasuke sighed and turned to the voice. In a flash, a girl with bold green eyes and long, silky pink hair latched on to him. She kissed his cheek. "How was your winter break? I missed you!" She looked over at Naruko and cocked an eyebrow. "Who's this?"
Naruko held her hand out to shake. "Namikaze Naruko, I just transferred."
Sakura grabbed her hand and squeezed it tightly. Naruko squeezed back with the same amount of strength. "Haruno Sakura, Sasuke-kun's girlfriend," she responded as she competed with Naruko for handshake strength. They let go at the same time and smiled at each other. "Well, I hope you enjoy your time here at Konoha High." Sakura turned back to Sasuke. "Can you help me with something? I didn't understand this question on the science homework from break." Without waiting for him to respond, Sakura started pulling him out the room leaving Naruko alone at her desk.
Naruko sighed and began to eat. When Sasuke was out the door she was approached by three students. The girl with lavender eyes, a boy with red hair and a boy with red marks on his face that looked like fangs.
"Namikaze, right?" the red haired boy asked.
Naruko nodded. "And you three are?"
"I'm Sabuka Gaara," he responded. He pointed to the lavender eyed girl. "This is Hyuuga Hinata." He then pointed to the other boy. "And he's Inuzuka Kiba."
"We were wondering if we could eat lunch with you. You seemed pretty lonely," Kiba said.
"Go right ahead," Naruko said with a bright smile.
When the bell rang again, everyone returned to their designated seats and classes. Naruko had learned from her lunch group that the reason why everyone had given her weird looks at school was because A) she was considered very attractive and B) she was talking with Sasuke who was apparently the most popular boy in the school making him untouchable to a new comer like her.
When Sasuke made it back to his seat, he gave Naruko a small wave and she smiled back. Again in the middle of the lecture, a note appeared on Naruko's desk. She opened it.
'Sorry about that. Sakura can be…possessive –S'
Naruko giggled quietly and wrote back. 'That just means she cares –N'
'Sure it does –S'
They continued to write notes for the rest of the day. The subjects varied from questions about themselves and clarifications on what the teacher had said.
When the bell rang to signify the end of school, Naruko packed her things quickly to leave.
"What's the rush?" Sasuke asked.
"I just need to get home in case my dad is called in for work," she explained. She closed her bag and started towards the door. "Ja ne Sasuke," she said flashing him a smile and practically ran out the classroom.
As she ran down the hall, she passed Sakura who was heading in to opposite direction. She stopped for a moment to talk.
"It's Haruno-san, right?" Naruko asked.
Sakura nodded. "And you're Namikaze, the girl who was flirting with my boyfriend earlier."
Naruko chuckled nervously. "See, that's what I wanted to talk to you about. See, we weren't flirting. I actually know Sasuke from over the break. He was visiting where I was living before and we ran into each other."
"You lived in Osaka?" Sakura said with interest.
"Yeah, and we were hanging out during the break and I didn't know he lived here so it was kind of a shock to see him here. The point is, we weren't flirting."
Sakura nodded slowly. "Thanks for the clarification."
"No prob. Well, I gotta run. Bye!"
As she ran to her shoe locker, Sakura glared at her then met up with Sasuke at his classroom. She intertwined their fingers together and they walked out of the class together silently. Sakura waited until they were outside of the school to break the silence.
"You didn't tell me that you made a girl friend in Osaka," she said bluntly.
"It didn't seem relevant," Sasuke responded.
"So you spending your time with a girl in Osaka didn't seem like something to tell me?"
Sasuke rolled his eyes. "Nothing happened between us. She's just a friend."
"And it better stay that way."
Sasuke sighed. "Hai, hai," he mumbled.
"Tadaima," Naruko called as she opened the door. She slipped her shoes off and heard little feet running towards her.
"Okaeri, Onee-chan!" a little voice said with a huge smile.
Naruko bent down to pick up her little brother and kissed his cheek. "Were you a good boy at school today, Naru?"
The boy nodded. "I really like my sensei. He's really cool."
"That's nice. Where's Papa?"
Then their father came running towards them to quickly put his shoes on.
"Thank god you're home. An emergency happened at the hospital," he said.
"Good luck Papa," Naruko said passing him his bag.
He kissed both of his children. "Naruto, be good for your sister."
The little blond boy nodded and their father left. Naruko put Naruto down and they both went into the living room to watch cartoons.
When Naruko sat down, she watched Naruto run to his bag and pull something out. It was a necklace made of several different types of beads.
"I made you this," he said handing Naruko the necklace. "Do you like it?"
Naruko put the necklace over her head and pulled the five year old to her lap. "I love it! I'm going to wear to school tomorrow so that all of my friends can see what a good job you did." She sat him down next her. "So do you want some miso pork ramen for dinner? I think we have everything for it on the kitchen."
Naruto cheered. "Can I help you make it?"
"You bet," Naruko said walking into the kitchen. Naruto followed her with excitement.
