Chapter 1: Pilot

If only she knew the feeling I get when I see her. The feeling get when she brushes up against me, even a little. It makes my heart jump out of my chest… "I need some air." Naruto said as he stood up from the lunch table he was sitting at and walked towards the door leading to the schoolyard.

"What the hell is wrong with me? I never get this hung up over a girl." He said to himself as he walked to one of the benches at the outskirts of the parking lot they called a schoolyard. He put his bag down and laid across the bench.

"What's the problem?" a familiar voice says.

Naruto sits up, "Sasuke," he smiles widely, "how do you always know?"

Sasuke shrugs, "You let me walk up on you and you didn't even sense that I was standing right next to you."

Naruto looks at the other kids in the yard. People playing handball against the walls, people playing catch with the balls they managed to hide from the lunch ladies… couples kissing on some of the other benches. He grunts.

Sasuke didn't fail to follow his eyes. "Depressed over a girl?" he asks as he sits down next to Naruto.

"Really man, stop doing that." Naruto says and they both chuckle, then silence.

Sasuke waited patiently, knowing that when Naruto wanted to answer him, he would.

Naruto inhaled slowly and looked up to the sky. Gloomy day. I like it. The sky was covered with dark clouds; the only light showing was the small amount of light from behind the clouds that covered the sun. It seemed like it would downpour any minute. He looked at the trees that swayed in the breeze of this spring day in March.

A smile tugged at the corner of his lips as he let his mind slip away, just for second, he let himself forget everything in this split second of bliss. Then he thought about the girl. The girl who avoided his gaze, the girl who always seemed to have a smile for everyone except him, the beautiful, silent mystery.

"Some girl, she doesn't even know I exist, I don't know why I'm so hung up over her." Naruto said nonchalantly.

Sasuke looked at Naruto who was still smiling. He'll tell me when he's ready. No need to push it right now anyway.

Sasuke stood up and looked at his watch. "Bells about to ring."

Naruto looked up at him and grinned, "I hate science, let's skip out and go to the mall or something."

Sasuke grinned, "It's funny how I'm the intelligent one, and you're the bad influence on me. You'd think I'd be smarter than that."

Naruto smiled wide, "Yea, you'd think that wouldn't you?"

The two friends shared a laugh and walked towards the entrance to the lunchroom.

"Let's get some of the other guys too, no offense but I'm not one for man dates." Naruto said.

"The usual group?" Sasuke asked.

"Yup. Let's cause some trouble while we're out, I haven't got in a good fight in ages." Naruto said as he grinned and rubbed his shoulder.

Sasuke just smiled in response, he never got bored with Naruto, and this was going to prove to be one eventful afternoon.

Back in the game. Been punished, again-_-

Hopefully I can keep going on this story.

If you can't tell, it's loosely based on my life and my first year in Aviation High School.

Don't worry, it won't be as boring as freshman year actually is. Lol

Later.
