"Hey! Sasuke! Wait up!"
The raven turned to the sound of his name, only to see his white haired friend running up through the corridor towards him. Suigetsu had a habit of drawing to much attention to himself and the fact he was a friend of the almighty Uchiha, as Sasuke witnessed. I mean, the looks Suigetsu was getting from Sasuke's unwanted fan girls... well, if looks could kill...
Sasuke sighed, and turned to head to next class. He knew Suigetsu would follow, as they sat next to each other in most lessons. He honestly didn't know why they were in the same class. All Suigetsu did during the lesson was annoy the teacher and all those around him, doodle on the desk and copy the answers to the work over Sasuke's shoulder. Still, strangely, Sasuke did enjoy his company. He gave him a good fight in martial arts, and although the Uchiha had never been beaten by anyone, Suigetsu was one of the very few worth sparring in the raven's eyes.
As Sasuke sat down, he tried to hide a frown. Was that perfume he smelt from the desk in front? Looking up, his eyebrow automatically twitched. How many different methods did Karin have of trying to seduce him?
First, it had been putting on desperate amounts of make up. That had been enough to even convince Suigetsu that she looked pretty. The raven hadn't even batted an eyelid. Then, she had worn a scandalously short skirt and crop top, constantly hanging around in front of him to try and get his attention. Failed attempt No. honestly had no idea how she got away with that one. Surely the teachers must have noticed? As the weeks had gone on, she kept trying. Although most girls would try anything to get his attention, Karin seemed to be the worst. What didn't help was that she presumed she was his 'friend'. Wrong. She was merely a fan girl lucky enough to hang around with him because she was friends with Suigetsu. Well, If you can call people arguing 24/7 friends that is.
Trying to ignore the batting of heavily mascaraed eyelashes and the reeking smell called perfume, that people seemed to think guys liked, he started to get his class equipment on the table.
"Sasuke-kuuuuun! 3"
"..."
"How're you today? Notice anything different about me? Are we still meeting up at lunch?"
"..."
Luckily, before she could say anything else, or Sasuke lose his cool and give her the famous Uchiha-if-you-don't-stop-now-I'll-kill-you look, Suigetsu joined them, and took his seat next to Sasuke. He looked at Sasuke's face, which looked intently at the table, almost as if giving it evils. He then notice Karin, bending forward in front of him, smiling sweetly.
"Ah, Karin. It's no use. You'll always look like a tart in his eyes, no matter what you do." jeered Suigetsu, gesturing towards Sasuke. "Besides... who would want to go out with an ugly bitch like you..."
WHAM!
That was when she punched him, squared on the nose, which sent him flying backwards. Karin's face was a picture of anger and embarrassment. Sasuke just rolled his eyes. All they did was argue. He thought it was stupid that Karin was so self conscious when ever someone pointed out her feelings for him, but yet she made it so obvious on purpose.
"Alright people, lets calm down and get ready to learn. Suigetsu! Stop messing around on the floor and get to your seat if you don't mind."
Suigetsu sat upright and glared at the silver haired teacher.
"Well, this is a nice surprise. You're early for once, Sensei" he sneered as he righted his chair and noisily dragged it next to Sasuke's. "Some special occasion perhaps? Or did you realise that your students need you in order to learn? "
"Now now, I just decided that for a certain occasion it would be beneficial to all that I come here directly to announce it. Now, if you've finished being sarcastic Suigetsu, can I get on with this announcement?"
Suigetsu just sighed and shuffled in his seat to get comfortable. "Go on then" he said, grinning. An announcement so interesting that even Mr Kakashi got to lesson early. This had to be good. At least he thought.
"Now, we have a new student transferring here today, so I want you all to be nice and on your best behaviour. They will arrive here later on, so don't keep eyeing the door, Suigetsu. And now, its time for what you all love. Higher level mathematics!"
The whole class groaned. Maths first thing in the morning was beyond cruel, even for high school. Sasuke just opened his class book and waited for the lesson to start. Maths didn't bother him as much as the rest of the class. As many had noted, he was a 'gifted genius' in all academics. This was an advantage for Suigetsu, who often had the privilege of sitting next to him, and copying over his shoulder when he thought Sasuke wasn't looking.
After the bell went after science, it was time for lunch. Sasuke left the classroom and made his way through the corridor out towards the courts. Fan girls swooned left and right, parting for his almighty presence. He just ignored them, as usual. Karin skipped up after him, Suigetsu not far behind. They trooped out into the autumn sun, and headed over to the old oak tree behind the courts. This was their usual meeting place. Jugo was already there, sitting peacefully in the shade, a bird cheerfully perched on his shoulder. He saw them coming and waved, the bird fleeing feeling their presence. Sitting and having lunch together wasn't particularly quiet, even in this isolated spot of the school. Suigetsu and Karin just had to find anything and everything to argue about, and if it wasn't for Jugo quietly and tactfully interrupting and defusing the situations, they would easily end up in fights.
They were at it again, now about how Suigetsu was so inconsiderate of Karin's feelings etc.
Sasuke was getting annoyed. What he really wanted after a good lunch was to sit back and relax. Now impossible due to his choice on companions. Sometimes he wondered why he didn't just go back to being on his own, but then remembered he was doing this for his brother. Itachi was so worried about how his younger brother was so anti-social after the death of their parents, so Sasuke decided to try and find some companions, so his brother wouldn't worry. At least, he didn't think handling their company would be so... so.... difficult. He really had slipped out of this social stuff.
"Sui..... Karin.... cut it out."
Immediately they stopped, and set about finishing their lunches. Karin kept glancing back at Sasuke and flashing a supposedly attractive smile, while Suigetsu was mumbling something about Karin being annoying. Sasuke just sighed, and leaned back onto the trunk of the tree. That's when something caught his eye. He noticed a blond standing the other side of the courts, staring right at them. He had sapphire blue eyes, and the most shining blonde hair he had ever seen. Sasuke was sure that he had never seen him at school before. Suddenly, the strange boy seemed to realise that he had been spotted staring in their direction, and turned and walked off swiftly. Sasuke just stared at the spot where he had been, then closed his eyes in thought.
'That must have been the new transfer student...'

This is my very first story, so it might not be that good. I hope all the same you enjoy it. ^^
Btw, if anyone's wondering why Sasuke calls Suigetsu 'Sui' its because I quite fancy that as a nickname for him xD
Next chapter coming out soon!
