Hey guys, this is my first story so far. I hope you guys enjoy it!
I do not own Naruto, nor it's characters. It all belongs to Kishimoto.
Unexpected Meeting
The sun was up in the sky, yet the atmosphere had a grayish aura. Well, what do you expect if it's cloudy at 6 in the morning?
The few rays of sunshine pierced through the corners of the curtains,
"Naruto, wake up!", a feminine voice shouted from the first floor of the two stories house.
"You're going to be late! Wake up!" The woman yelled while stomping the door of the said boy's room. And if it wasn't enough, she opened the curtains, lighting the whole room and letting the said rays of light fall upon our sleeping beauty.
He groaned and mumbled a curse or two, not just for the fact that the sunlight lit his face without mercy, but also because he realized what the big deal was about.
It was his first day at college; Konoha University: new friends, new teachers, and new experiences. Especially the latter, though it was unknown for our friend.
"Now sweetie, get out of the bed and go take a shower. I have special breakfast served just for you!" She said in a sweet and caring voice. "Now hurry and take that shower!", she yelled while she left the room and went downstairs.
He mumbled some curses again, thinking how was it that his mother was such a bipolar. Sighing, he sat on his bed while he slowly opened his eyes.
His eyelids opened, and revealed the wonderful cerulean orbs that were his eyes. His blonde hair shone as the rays of light shone all over his body.
He went slowly to the bathroom to take a shower, still half-asleep. He scrubbed his body intensely and rinsed every part of his body. You know what they say: better make some good first impressions.
After a good shower and a decent breakfast, he was all ready to go. Being his first day, his parents decided they would drop him outside the campus so he could walk through it while getting used to the new environment and the new places.
Before the left, his mother grabbed her phone, and his phone, and the camera, and took some pictures of his only son's first day.
"Ok mom, enough photos." Naruto said, a little bit embarrassed by his mother's over excitement. Not that he wasn't excited too, it was just he wasn't as overjoyed as his mother by fact of going to college.
The ride there was calm and quiet, though Naruto's belly was a hell of a chaos, the whole "butterflies in the stomach" thing being more like a bunch of killer bees. He realized he wasn't excited, he was terrified, and nervous above all the other feelings.
When they arrived, his heart was beating at the speed of sound, and he looked pale, almost like if he was going to faint.
"Bye Mom! Bye Dad!" He said trying to appear more confident and happy than how he really was. Before getting of the car, he gave his dad and mom a big hug and gave each one of them a peck on the cheek.
After he got out, he started walking toward the campus of Konoha University, when he heard his mother shout at him.
"Bye honey! Take care! Don't talk y
too much. And make some friends!" Kushina shouted, leaving a completely stupefied and embarrassed Naruto on the other street.
When he entered, he stood for a moment, with an uneasy grin on his face, watching as the other students, from freshmen to seniors, walked toward their classes as well.
"Okay, here we go!" He said with a little confidence.
When he entered his class, almost everyone was staring at him. He arrived fifteen minutes late, to his first class, on his first day of college. The reason, he "thought" it was a good idea to take walk around all the campus. In other words, he got lost an ended up taking the long way to his class.
Well done Naruto, nice done making some good first impressions, way to go. He scolded himself inwardly.
He sat almost at the bottom of the classroom hoping that everyone will stop staring and laughing at him and forget about that issue.
"Well, now that everyone has arrived, let's continue with the explanation of the methods of evaluation. First…" His professor started, and continued with the explanation before he got interrupted by Naruto's delay.
Ok, it went better than expected… Naruto thought while he took out his notebook to take notes about what his new professor was saying.
After the class ended, and figuring out that the man he interrupted was his philosophy professor and that during the next few classes his other two teachers will be present. It was a class which consisted of four assignments: Philosophy, where he already met his professor, Language, History and Methods of Investigation.
Yup, he had to endure all of that during the mornings for what's left the semester.
If you wonder what he is studying, it would be Chemistry, though he always had an interest in the Fine Arts.
While he was thinking about that his phone started ringing. He first glanced at the name of the contact that was calling him, and answered immediately when he saw that the one calling him was his best friend, Shikamaru.
"Hey there Shika, how you've been?"
"Hey. Dude where are you? I'm here with Sakura. We thought that since it was our first day we should lunch together, you know like the old times."
"Sure! Let's meet at the plaza, that's where I'm at."
"What a drag… Fine, we'll meet there in two minutes."
"Thanks Shika, see you in a moment!"
And with that he hanged up. Both of them, Shikamaru and Sakura were his best friends from childhood and have stayed like that. They were also the ones who knew him the most; everything about him. They all were freshmen; Shikamaru studying Engineering and Sakura Pharmacy, and well Naruto being the only in Chemistry.
When they arrived, Naruto ran to them and gave them a hug, with his usual cheerfulness.
"Geez dude, it has not been that long since we last saw!" Shikamaru joked.
"Yeah, it hasn't been that long." Sakura retorted.
"I know, I'm just glad to see you guys!" Naruto responded.
"Sigh, you never change." Shikamaru and Sakura added as they stared playfully at him.
"Heh well, you know that's how I am."
After chatting up for a pretty good while, they decide to go and have something to eat, while they remembered the good times the spent in school.
The rest of the day went on smoothly. He was on his way to his next class: Calculus. He was glad that his day went on better than he expected.
He arrived his class earlier than the one in the morning, and decided to sit up in the middle line of desks, having in count they were empty due to the fact that the his teacher hadn't even arrived.
When said professor arrived, he started explaining the same stuff as the professor in the morning: the evaluations, the classes and the schedule. After he ended up his explanation, he started up with the class as it was established on the schedule.
Naruto was so busy trying to copy the schedule for the upcoming tests and some other important things that he didn't notice someone sat down at the chair in front of him.
"Hey." The person said.
Naruto stood there, dumbfounded, as the boy in front spoke to him.
