Sasuke sighed. Today he was transferring to a new school after he got kicked out of his old. It would have been fine by him except there were 9 people that also attended the same one… 9 people he only had to see over the break. 9 people he hated so much. He had spent his summer break hoping to any higher power he would not have to go, but here he was, on the first day of school, climbing up the stairs to the central building of the school in the company he hated most. His brother Itachi, and his gang of friends. Not that Itachi hadn't tried to find a different school. Sasuke knew his brother hated him as much as he hated Itachi. But noooooo… there just had to be only one other school for ninjas in the whole god damn world. He hated it. The only upside was that his best friend, Naruto Uzumaki, would be there too. Opening up the doors to the school, Itachi said.

"Ok, I've got you this far, now let me not see you again for at least another week" In addition to a high school, the school also boasted a preschool(Teaching kids how to kill early), elementary, middle school and university, which Sasuke's brother and friends were currently attending.

"You didn't have to come" Sasuke shot at him, his dark eyes narrowing with annoyance.

"You think I would be here if I didn't have to?" Itachi coolly said, then raised his voice into a high pitch, imitating one of the school board members "Now Itachi, make sure you walk your brother to at least the door to promote comfort and a good impression for your brother on his first day at school" The band of boys behind him sniggered. Sasuke hated them almost as much as his big brother. There was Deidara, Sasori, Hidan, Kakuzu, Zetsu and Kisame. Pein and Konan had decided not to come with Itachi, instead choosing to arrive a bit before the rest. Sasuke had to admit Kisame wasn't that bad, it was Deidara he hated the most.

"Oh please, we could have just dropped him off at the front, then we wouldn't have had people see us in the company of the world's biggest loser" Deidara said, a nasty smirk on him face.

"Deidara, that's not very nice. Don't worry Sasuke; you don't need to be scared. I'm sure you'll meet lots of great people at school" Kisame said earnestly. Sasuke merely grunted. He turned his attention to the people in the hall. It was starting to get crowded. His eyes fell to rest on a girl with bright pink hair, chatting animatedly with her friend, a blond. His brother's crowd seemed to notice too, and Hidan suddenly let out a big,

"Ohhhhh… Sasori look. Its Miss Sakura Haruno" he said in a taunting voice. The boys laughed. Sasuke didn't get what was so funny.

"You should go say hi. Then again, if you don't feel like tasting fist today I wouldn't recommend it" Deidara said, in his usual sneering voice.

"Shut up you dumbasses!" Sasori said.

"What's so special about her?" Sasuke said, tired of being kept out of the action.

"Of course, the loser doesn't know. Sasori dated her for a while; until he found out she didn't really like him. By then of course he was cheating on her too, so it didn't really matter. They had this massive fight, and both of them said loads of terrible stuff. Childlike, if you ask me, but it sort of hit Sasori hard. She's got spunk, that's for sure" said Kakuzu.

"She told me she never really liked me, and that she liked someone else and was just trying to forget she did 'cause he rejected her or something like that. If I ever find out who he is, he's gonna wish he had never been born" said Sasori, his voice filled with bitterness. Then for some reason, Deidara's face got an evil sly look Sasuke had seen a million times before.

"And now that Sasuke is in her grade level, you might actually have a chance to get close to her" Deidara said, poking Itachi in the ribs. Itachi merely grunted and elbowed him back.

"Well emo boy, it's been fun, but we need to get going or we'll miss class again" Zetsu said

"Does it really matter? We've skipped a million times" asked Hidan.

"Yeah but the principal said if we skip class one more time he'll tan our asses, and I don't really feel like anybody touching my butt today" Deidara said, making everybody except Sasuke laugh again. They turned and filed out the door, and Sasuke was left staring after them, not sure what to do next.
