Buzz...buzz...buzz could it be any louder? The tension of school starting was already adding so much weight to the hot summer currents that brushed up harshly against the town of Konoha. Messy blonde hair tangled up in a mess of white and blue sheets, blue eyes peered over at the clock that read, 7:00, with a muffled groan and a quick smack the noise was off and the bus to dreamland could venture on. Not even two seconds into the sweetness of cool sheets there was a sudden thud on his head that had his mind going in circles.

"Ew, it smells in here."

A familiar female voice echoed in the room.

"Yeah, Naruto what do you have in here?"

There was the annoying male voice he knew too well.

"You guuuuys can't I sleep for like ten more minutes?"

The sleepy head asks as he cuddles deeper into the sheets and has a big goofy grin on his face.

"No way if I'm late to the first day of school I'll be ruined."

The female voice declares, and he can feel a swat to his back.

"Yeah and if you start flunking now who knows if you'll graduate, and I'm not sticking around waiting for you next year."

The gruff male voice states.

As Naruto rose from his bed he scratched the back of his head and slouched, as his blue gaze opened and let the light in he was surprised to be in the view of the female voice.

'Sakura..'

He thought to himself.

"You look beautiful today Sakura."

He says out loud a tint of pink running on his face.

"Can it idiot, enough of your sweet talk I'm not going to be late to my last year of high school."

Sakura says pulling at his ear in an annoyed tone.

"Gee...if it was that drastic why don't you have your boyfriend take you."

Naruto says in pain from the punching of his ear.

"You're my boyfriend too idiot."

She says with an eye roll.

"Knock it off, can't you see he's distracting us."

Sasuke says pulling her back so Naruto can get ready.

"Whatever."

She says with a grin in their direction as she walks out.

Naruto gazes at her and blinks once or twice before looking up at his black haired companion. "Man...I don't know what we were thinking dating her..."

Naruto says crawling out of bed and opening his closet and rummaging through his t-shirts and pants.

"She adds some excitement to the relationship don't you think?"

Sasuke says sitting down on the bed putting his hands in his pockets.

"Yeah..."

Naruto says as he finishes rummaging through his drawers for pants.

The thick roar of a car engine melted the silence of the neighborhood. The black Chevy Impala zipped here and there and the three friends shared the front seat. Sasuke drove, of course, never trusting Naruto with driving his car, Sakura sat in between the boys cuddled up to Naruto who had the window rolled down and enjoyed the wind that came in.

"You know...we might not see each other after this year is over."

Naruto says looking back at the two beside him with a curious look.

"Knock it off, it's only day one we have a whole school year to go through the drama of it all."

Sakura says pulling away from the blonde and crossing her arms over her chest as she glared at him.
"Soon it'll be the end of T-7 and we'll no longer have to wear these jackets."

Naruto says while he stretches his arms out forward and peers over at the matching jackets his friends wear.

"Maybe, but we don't need our high school gang name in order to stick together."

Sasuke surprises them by putting in his two cents.

They had started T-7 ever since grade school their friendship was long and generic, childhood friends growing up together. They're like family with each other and have always shared everything with one another surprisingly they shared such a strong bond that nothing they were faced with got in the way. The sound of music and people laughing matched the sound of the roaring vehicle, the sounds settled down once the bell had rang and T-7 walked out with confidence. Sakura held onto Sasuke's arm as they walked through the halls Naruto was too distracted with finding his textbook to walk with them like they usually did. They waited for the blonde and held a small conversation on a murder mystery show they both watched. Naruto caught up with them eventually he held the book up with satisfaction.

"Hell man I was so scared that I lost this, I saw my life flash before my eyes."

He let out a small sigh of relief and put it in his backpack.

"Do you need to start putting your books in my locker naruto?"

Sakura asked him as she rolled her eyes in his direction.

"No no don't worry I promise I'll work ha-"

He stopped in mid-sentence his eyes were wide as he stared towards the front entrance. Sakura and Sasuke glanced at one another before looking in the same direction curiosity washed over them as three new faces walked in. They were another trio, A tall ginger, a short redhead wearing glasses and a creepy looking guy with silver white hair. Sakura's eyes narrowed as the red-haired girl made eye contact with her, she bit her bottom lip anxiously as they came closer walking past them as if they owned the entire school. Sasuke's eyes followed them as they moved, the redhead took note of that and gave him a wide smirk.

"Hey you're cute, I hope I see you around more."

She said with a small giggle and hard glare at sakura and naruto as she moved forward deep into the school. Sasuke didn't say anything he watched them more and took note of their matching jackets the image of a snake patched on their backs.

"Serpents.."

He said quietly.

"No way...I thought they lived in another town."

Sakura says glancing back at them.

"Who are they? Whats with the snake get up?"

Naruto asked as he stood closer to Sasuke.

"That chick is related to the guy who took over my dad's business after he passed."

Sasuke tells Naruto turning his body towards the blonde.

"They wanted you to be part of the company…"

Naruto says looking at the other with concern.

"Hopefully it's just a coincidence.."

Sasuke says as the bell rings he takes Sakura's arm and they wave bye to Naruto before walking to class.

"She seemed interested in you"

Sakura teases as she looks at her wrist which Sasuke firmly has in his grip.

"Knock it off, you know I'm with you and Naruto."

Sasuke reassures her when they stop in front of the door to her class

"Just checking...I'll see you later thanks for walking me."

Sakura smiles up at him gently placing her fist on his chin and walking into class. Sasuke nods and watches her go, his attention is then towards a certain redhead from before whose glancing over at him along with her two companions. Sasuke looks back at the door that Sakura had just entered before turning around and walking towards the other three who greet him immediately. Blonde hair hid in the shadows, blue eyes glared at the four who stood in the hall and in silence, Naruto left them alone something had seemed off about Sasuke since the summer and he just hoped that things wouldn't get messy.
