Chapter 1: One sided love affair

Sasuke's POV

I hate school. The teachers are stupid, the students are stupid, everything's stupid! Why the fuck am I here? It's so pointless and boring! When will I ever need this shit? This is so stupid! Seriously, school couldn't be more pointless. I don't even know why I'm here! I place my head on my hand began watching the clouds drift by outside. It's not that interesting, but it's better than listening to that fuckass teacher!

I notice a boy about my age walking outside. He was wearing a white long sleeve shirt with an orange tank top over it, a pair of black sweats, and a red bandana which partly covered his unruly blond hair. I don't know why but I was captivated by him. There was something about him that drew me to him. He sat down, pulling out a sketchbook, and began to scribble. I tilt my head slightly, wondering what he was drawing.

For a long time, I just sat there, staring at him; wondering who he was, and why I've never seen him before; when suddenly, someone rudely yanked me out of my daydream.

"Sasuke!"

I looked up and stared at the girl standing before me, with her long flowing pink hair and her bright smile, "What?" I say coldly.

"Um, well, class ended, and um, do you, um, do...doyouwannahavelunchwithme?"

I raised an eyebrow, "What?"

"Do you want to, um, have lunch with me?" She repeated, and blushed.

"No." I know that was harsh, but I can't stand her!

Sakura looked disappointed, "Oh."

I didn't say anything, I didn't care. That bitch has been bugging me since forever about going out with her, it's getting really annoying. When will she ever get the message that I don't like her the way she wants me to?

At the beginning, I liked her as a friend, but as time went on, she was being more and more persistent about us becoming lovers, and I begun to hate her. It's come down to the fact that Sakura would ask me to eat lunch with her every single day, and I'd always say no. She knows that, but she asks anyway.

I wish that Sakura would just leave me alone! Why can't she understand that I'm not interested?

Sakura sulked, "Well… can I at least walk you to class?" She asked hopefully, her smile back on her face.

"No. Just leave me alone."

Sakura's smile dropped. She bit her lip, tears threatening to spill down her cheeks. She wiped her eyes on her sleeve and ran out of the classroom, crying.

I sighed, I've tried to be nice to her and tell her that I'm not interested, but she just won't get the message. Damn! That guy Lee likes her, why can't she just pay some attention to him and leave me alone!

I gathered my books and just as I was opening my locker, I was approached by Gaara.

"Yo Sasuke, you seen the new kid?

"No." 'Is it that boy?' "What's he like?"

"Well his name's Naruto, and he's an outcast like me."

"I see." 'Maybe it is him…'

After Lunch…

Naruto's POV

I fidgeted slightly, nervous about my first day. Judging by this morning, people still haven't forgotten…

The teacher's talking to me right now, but I'm not paying attention, I'm too busy looking at the people filing in; each throwing me a dirty look. But there was this one boy, with raven-black hair and charcoal eyes. He looked at me, but there was no hate in his eyes. Why? Did he not remember what I did?

The bell rang and everybody settled down. The teacher stood in front of the class and introduced me, as if everybody didn't already know…"Everybody, this is Uzumaki Naruto, he's new."

Looking at all the hate-filled faced, I slipped on my mask(1) and shouted, "OHAYO(2) EVERYBODY!"

No one said hi back, but someone in the back of the room shouted, "Shut up you freak, I bet you're only here because your mama doesn't even want you anymore! Who can blame her? I wouldn't want you! No one would want you!"

I clenched my teeth. I hated them, hated all their teasing, cussing, and bullying. It breaks me. And I hate it. The class started snickering, and I had to strain from blowing up at everybody.

"That's enough!" The teacher yelled at the class. When the class quieted down she turned to me and said, "Naruto, you may sit next to Sasuke."

At this, the class went crazy, "You fucking asshole! Why does a freak like you get to sit beside a god like Sasuke?

'I can't stand this!'

"You fuckass, you're not wanted here, just go away!"

'You fucking bastards! If you say another word, I swear I'll kill you!'

"I'm warning you, if you dare to even talk to Sasuke, I'll tear you to pieces you hear me?"

'That's IT! You're dead bitch!'

But before I could kill her, the boy with the raven-black hair exploded, "I can fucking talk to whoever I want! So just shut up!"

Everyone just stared at him and shut up. This just makes me even madder! Why the fuck does everyone listen to him? I HATE HIM! I HATE EVERYBODY!

I walked up to him. He puts his hands on my shoulders and asks, "Are you okay?"

I whip out my hand and slapped his hands away. "Don't touch me! I didn't need you're help, you bastard!"

I plop down in my seat and I hear murmurs.

"Who does he think he is, screaming at Sasuke?"

"Seriously, if it wasn't for Sasuke, I'd beat him up!"

"Why's Sasuke putting up with him anyways?"

I gritted my teeth. I've only been here two minutes, and already it's Sasuke this, Sasuke that. It's pissing me off!

The teacher cleared his throat and began the lesson.

I look over and see Sasuke lay down his head and fall asleep. 'Bastard!'

Sasuke's Dream…

Walking down a muddy road

Leading to nowhere

I'm surrounded by nothingness

Full of loneliness and darkness

The road slowly turns cleaner

The mud seeping away

And I can see someone at the end of it

But I can't tell who it is

Because the person's standing in front of the sun

And their body is surrounded by light

I walk closer

Shielding my eyes from the bright sunlight

He seems so far away

I walk faster

But he never seems to get any closer

I run

Faster

And faster

And faster

As I get closer

I realize who it is

It's the boy with the sunshine hair

And the sky blue eyes

A grin on his face

His laughter ringing across the empty space

But behind those laughing eyes

Hold sadness

And loneliness

I feel a jerk in my heart

I feel warmth in my body

What is this feeling?

Is this love?

For a friend?

Or for something more?

I want to find out

So I run faster

To get closer to him

I'm almost there

But right before I reach him

He stops smiling

And his face twists into a snarl

He spits on the floor

Looking at me with hatred in his eyes

Turns around

And walks away

I reach out for him

Calling his name

Again

And again

And again

But he doesn't come back

He disappears behind the horizon

And I fall

I lay on the floor unmoving

With gashes on my body

And scratches on my face

From the glass I fell upon

Blood spills

I wait for darkness

But it doesn't come

I close my eyes

And suddenly

I hear someone calling me

"Sasuke…"

"Sasuke…"

"Sasuke…"

End Dream…

"Sasuke!"

Sasuke jerked awake and sat up, "Huh?"

Naruto's face was an inch from his, "Class is over, let's go!"

Sasuke blushed, "Go?"

"Yeah! We have to go to math, come on!"

"Um…why are you waiting for me?" Sasuke asked, confused, Naruto had acted like he hated him, so why is he being nice now?

"Because, baka(3), I don't know where math is and nobody else would help me!"

"Oh. Well I hate to tell you this but…"

"FUCK YOU! Do you think you're too good to help me or something! Well you can just go to hell like the rest of them!" Naruto screamed, and ran out of the classroom.

Sasuke stared after him, 'I was just going to tell you that I don't have math next…'

'I wonder what that dream meant though, do I really love him? I can't! Can I?'

It's not that Sasuke has something against being gay, it's just that now's not a good time to have a crush. Ever since Itachi murdered his parents, Sasuke's been living with him. He doesn't approve of Itachi killing everyone of course, but he loved Itachi, and Itachi was the only one that cared about him anyways. Itachi started seeing this man, Orochimaru, about a month ago, and Sasuke hated him. Right now, Orochimaru's living with them, and he has made Sasuke's life difficult enough, he doesn't need a one sided love affair right now to add to the burden.

Sasuke sighed and gathered up his books, and walked to his next class. But as he stood outside of Room 209, French class, Sasuke decided to skip instead. It's not like he'll learn anything inside, he'll probably just sleep again.

Sasuke walked outside and was deep in thought when he tripped over something and fell on his face.

"WATCH WHERE YOU'RE GOING BAKA!"

Sasuke looked up and saw that what he tripped over was indeed Naruto, who was lying on his back watching the clouds – a habit he picked up from Shikamaru.

TBC...

(1) I don't mean a real mask; I mean the emotional one that he wears to cover up his real feelings.

(2) Ohayo-good morning
