This is a short story that I wrote... well duh... but I plan on writing a few more chapters (if you guys like it) or turning it in
an awesome chapter story that goes on and on (if i can be bothered) so yeah... please read and if you like it please review.

I really love my best friend, I love him more than anything in the world, well to be fair... he is second to ramen. Sasuke Uchiha is his name, believe it, and today is the end of the summer holidays, so now were going back to Konoha High, yay... I was being sarcastic just so you know. Anyways, let us begin...

-ring ring- I begin to stir -ring ring- I open my eyes partially -ring ring- ok, ok I'm awake now -ring ring- well damn, I guess I have to answer it now, I slowly pick up the phone and I am greeted with a simple,

"Hey Baka"

I murmured something even I couldn't even make sense off then lifted my head off the pillow and repeated it with a little more clarity "Don't call me baka you... you... baka"

I could hear him smile... if that makes sense, as he replied "Hypocrite"

I slurred and moaned as I slowly sat up, I had my phone sandwiched between my ear and my shoulder as I looked around the room for my uniform, god it has been months since I last saw it, I turned over piles of clothes, looked through drawers until finally Sasuke suggested "How bout in your pantry"

I moved a pile of trash out of the way of the door and made my way to the kitchen, I opened the pantry and sure enough there it was, my uniform. I quickly checked it for stains and was pleasantly surprised to find it clean.

Sasuke stifled a laugh as he exclaimed "Am I good or what!"

I pouted "You snuck into my house last night and put it there didn't you?"

Sasuke feigned being hurt while dramatically exhaling "You really think low enough of me that you'd go as far to accuse me of breaking into my best friend's house in the middle of the night just to put his uniform into his pantry?"

"Yes... that is exactly what I think of you Sasuke, now tell the truth"

"Ok maybe I did, maybe I didn't but no matter, just be ready in five or I'll sneak in tonight and it won't be to put your clothes away"

I winced "Creep"

Sasuke laughed and hung up. I frantically got dressed and packed my bag just in time to make it down stairs into the lobby just time to see Sasuke walking through the glass doors.

Sasuke smiled at me and held the door open for me just long enough to walk through. When we were outside and on our way to school he began to look up at the clouds.

I craned my head upwards so I could see what he was looking at and that was when I felt a hand at my neck, the fingers were digging into a nerve point and I yelped and jumped away.

Sasuke laughed "You baka, I can't believe you fell for that"

Before retorting I lunged at him, knocking us both to the ground, I was jabbing him in the hips when he yelled pathetically "Stop it Naruto, I'm sorry already"

I stood up and gave him my hand to hoist him up with me, he took it gratefully and exclaimed "Jeez Naruto, can't you take a joke?"

I felt myself pout as I replied "You know how I get when school starts, everything annoys the crap outta me"

Sasuke nodded in understanding, that was right about when we neared the school.

It was a pretty normal building at first glance, I mean if you don't look at it long enough you might miss the graffiti covered sign that barely read out 'Konoha High-School' or the broken windows that looked as if they had been covered in thousands of years worth of dust. Yup, it looked just lovely.

We entered the front gates and were immediately greeted with a dull awe... and by we I mean Sasuke was greeted with a dull awe. He always has been. I mean if I were a girl I could see myself having a crush on Sasuke, he is pretty, for a boy.

He has always had a special look to him, like some sort of dark prince I guess, his always spiked up jet black hair and clear, pale skin, the piercings on his ear, even the chains around his neck, when put on him, made them look elegant, godly even.

Me in comparison, I have blond hair that just hangs there, tanned skin, bright blue eyes and I wear a lot of orange... I know, I know, I have horrible taste but it's always reminded me of my parents.

I suppose the thing about me that stands out the most would have to be the whisker like scars that run across my cheeks. I got them in the accident that killed my parents just after I was born.

While in my day-dreamy state I looked across the yard to see two girls hurriedly approaching us, almost as if they were racing.

A steak of pale yellow and pink blurred past me and came to a stop just in front of Sasuke. Now that they had stopped it was clear to me who they were, it was...

"Ino, Sakura, how many times do I have to tell you to leave me alone"

The two girls giggled to each other upon hearing Sasuke's remark, they looked up at him and replied at the exact same time "As many times as it takes for you to fall in love with me"

Ino and Sakura both glared into one another's eyes before they screeched "WHAT DO YOU MEAN FALL IN LOVE WITH YOU, I'M THE ONE FOR HIM!"

This unison of words only made the two girls angrier, and it wasn't until we were about a hundred meters away that they realised that we had left.

I looked at Sasuke and began to tease lightly "Oh Sasuke... fall in love with me, pretty please" I put on my best puppy dog eyes and it was responded to by a...

Punch on the top of my head.

I clutched my head as the throbbing spread through my entire body, I looked up at Sasuke once again this time complaining "Hey, come on, weren't you the one who was telling me to learn to take a joke not even ten minutes ago"

Sasuke kept walking without answering me, his steps were more hurried than usual and I swear that his face had an unusual red tinge to it.

I pulled myself together and quickened my pace to catch up to him, but to my dismay, his face looked normal now, was it just my imagination then, yeah it had to be.

We turned the corner into our classroom and we were greeted by a boy with red strips running in a stripe from his eyes to his jaw line. His messy brown hair covered his eyes when he exclaimed "Right on time guys, just like always"

I smiled back at the boy and replied "Yo, Kiba, long time no see, how was your summer?"

Kiba smiled back playfully, showing his rather sharp teeth, he continued to grin as he replied "It was great, bummer it's over though, how was yours?"

I flicked a strand of my hair out of my eyes before answering "Mine were great too"

Kiba looked like he was about to say something else but the bell rang and everyone scurried to their seats.

I looked over to the seat next to me when I caught Sasuke giving me a worried glance... after all, my holidays weren't all that great.

I tried my best to give him a reassuring smile but all I could muster was a strained smirk, because being reminded that someone very close to you has died, isn't the best feeling.

During the summer break I had to watch my... well... a person I consider to be like a grandfather pass away. His name is... sorry, it was Jiraiya. He was in an accident just like my parents, so when I went to see him in the hospital he couldn't see me, he was in a coma after all. He died without letting me say goodbye

Sasuke kept looking at me every few seconds as if I'd fall to pieces at any moment, that is until I shot him a look that clearly stated 'I'm fine' he was seemingly satisfied with this and he turned his attention to our teacher who had just walked in.

Iruka sensei is our home room teacher this year and to be honest I couldn't have asked for a better one, Iruka is one of those rare teachers that actually enjoy teaching and it really makes class more fun to be in.

I watched my sensei as he began to write on the board, I read the words as he wrote them and when he stepped away I smiled, it was one of Iruka's little jokes, every morning he would start off by writing something he thought was funny on the board today it was...

"When Life Gives You Lemons, Make A Milkshake, It'll Confuse People"

I heard snickers from around the room as people took their time reading it, it even got a little 'huff' from Sasuke which was rare.

While I was quietly snickering to myself from seeing Sasuke's little laugh I noticed Iruka standing at the front of the class waiting for his students to quieten down.

I gave my full attention to Iruka and eventually the rest of the class fell silent.

Iruka loudly cleared his throat and then announced "Welcome back to school, I know how excited you must be"

After saying that a moan escaped everyone's mouth but it was silenced with sensei retorting "I don't like it anymore than you do so suck it up"

The class snickered and Iruka let a smile creep over his face, then he continued "I guess I should start by announcing that we have a new student, a transfer from Suna High-School" he paused for a moment then looked towards the door and called out loudly "You can come in now!"

The door opened revealing a boy, possibly the scariest kid I have ever seen, and I've seen Sasuke in the mornings.

His sandy red hair fell over his face, barely covering his steel blue eyes that looked colder than ice. A strange mark covered a portion of his fore-head and his skin was paler than Sasuke's.

Altogether he was terrifying.

The boy walked up to the front of the class and stood next to Iruka. Sensei then smiled at the boy and prodded "Come on, introduce yourself to the rest of the class"

The boy looked bored as he turned to face the class. His arms were folded defensively in front of him and when he spoke it was like hearing the low growl of a predator.

"My name is Gaara no Sabaku" he turned to Iruka and asked with a condescending tone "Done, can I sit now?"

Iruka strained a smile and replied as kindly as he could "Are you sure there is nothing more you want to say?"

Gaara did not return the smile, he only answered "There isn't anything else I want to say" he then turned to the class and spotted an empty seat, the one next to me that wasn't filled by Sasuke.

He marched towards me like a hunter stalking its prey and it sent shivers down my spine. I looked to Sasuke who showed no signs of fear, however his lip slightly twitched, a sign that only I could pick up that showed that he was slightly uncomfortable.

Then, as Garra took his seat Iruka continued with the announcements.

I shifted uncomfortably in my seat as Gaara settled down into the seat next to me. I inched towards Sasuke who moved over a little to accommodate me.

The rest of home room went smoothly and before I knew it we were off to math, then as the day dragged on and it was finally lunch time I couldn't help but think of that new kid... Garra.

Sasuke took a bite out of his sandwich as we sat down at our usual table in the cafeteria. I had scoffed mine down by the time Sasuke had swallowed his first bite as usual.

Then as I waited for him to finish his sandwich I accidently said something that I only wanted to think "Garra looks like a psychopath"

Sasuke nearly choked on the mouthful of food in his mouth as his eyes just about popped out of his head.

His eyes darted from me to something behind me, it was around about then that I realized my mistake and as I turned my head all I could see were steel blue eyes staring down at me with a look that could kill.

So yeah... I hope you liked it and if you did please tell me :)
