Chapter one:

New school, new life, new friends, new problems, new everything. Naruto Uzumaki, a 17 year old boy, had recently moved to Konoha, a beautiful village surrounded by mountains. He had never really settled down anywhere, so he supposed this was going to be a new home from which he would probably move soon enough. The place where he had spent most time had been in a really small town in the middle of a forest, and you couldn't even say he had spent that much time, since he only stayed there for 8 months. "This time will be different" was what his mother had told him before moving to Konoha, "we'll try to stay here until you finish high school."

The first day of school was approaching fast. Throughout his life, Naruto had learned not to get too attached to people, so this of meeting new friends and everything wasn't really a problem for him, since he already knew that sooner or later he would have to say goodbye to them all.

Naruto wasn't a morning person, so when his alarm clock went off, you can imagine how it ended up crashed in the wall into pieces. And you can also imagine how Naruto kept on sleeping and dreaming of his favorite meal: Ramen! It wasn't long before his mother came and kicked him out of bed.

"Naruto, for goodness sake, you better wake up this instant" His mother said to a half asleep Naruto lying on the floor.

"I'm going mom" answered Naruto not too convincingly to his mother.

"Fine, but your ramen is getting cold"

These last words acted as magic on Naruto who instantly woke up and kicked his mother out of his room. If there's anything mothers know about is their children, what they like, dislike, and how to use it against them. If Naruto's mother knew something, was about Naruto and his love for ramen. And this worked perfectly in times like this.

After 15 minutes or so, Naruto was ready to go to school. He lived 3 blocks from it so he didn't need to take the bus. So after receiving many kisses from his mother and a quick goodbye from his father (he was getting late to work) he set off to school.

The minute he got there the bell rang initializing a new year of homework to be done and tests to be taken. Naruto wasn't what you would call a good student, but at least he tried his best not to fail, most times in vain but, anyway, he tried, and that's what matters. As soon as he entered school he went to talk to the principle, as he always did each time he changed school. So far he had attended 19 different schools, this one was number 20.

When he reached the principal's office he knocked the door, and after hearing a voice telling him to come in he entered. Of all the headmasters he had met from his previous schools this was the youngest of them all. The principal was a beautiful woman, with amber eyes and blonde hair pulled into two pony tails.

The first thing Naruto noticed when he entered the office was a large anti age cream the principal was applying to her face.

"So…" started the principal "You must be Uzumaki Naruto, I'm the principal and my name is Tsunade. Here, have your timetables for every class you'll be taking, I hope you make lots of friends here and study hard. You may leave now, if there's any question you want to ask just let me know."

"Yeah, thanks old lady" said Naruto while closing the door after him of the principal's office. Maybe it was just Naruto's imagination, but after leaving the office he could've sworn he heard a strong punch on a wooden surface.

"First class, math." Naruto read from his recently gotten timetable. "Good way of starting the day" he added sarcastically. Naruto wasn't really known for his ability with numbers. He pretty much sucked in math and in most subjects. The only thing he was good at was sports.

While going to his class Naruto tripped with a girl running.

"Hey, watch out!" he screamed.

"No, you watch out, looser" she repeated, standing out while glancing at her watch. "Shit! I'm going to get detention for being late."

Naruto couldn't catch much as to how this girl looked like. He could only notice her blond hair, and her, what he thought should be, cheerleader uniform. He later learned that girl's name was Ino Yamanaka and it was better not to get near her. She was the most popular girl at school. Every girl wanted to be like Ino. She was the most important cheerleader and she dated the hottest guy at school: no one else than Sasuke Uchiha. He was every girl's dream and the soccer team captain. With just one look from him every girl would literary melt. But as I said before, he already had an owner, the bitchy drama queen known as Ino Yamanaka.

After this not very nice encounter with what he later discovered to be the most popular girl, he continued his way to his first class. When he reached the door he knocked several times until he had the door opened to him, but before coming in, who seemed to be his new teacher explained:

"Children, we have a new student joining us today. Why don't you introduce yourself to the whole class?" He said looking at Naruto. He seemed a middle age man with nothing in particular whatsoever except for a scar on his nose. "By the way, I'm Iruka Umino, and I'll be your math teacher."

"Hi, my name is Naruto Uzumaki, I've recently moved here, and that's pretty much it."

"Well Naruto, welcome to Konoha. Now go and sit there at the back with that girl so I can start with my class." he resumed by saying.

"Hi" said Naruto to the girl sitting beside him.

"Hi" she answered back. "My name is Sakura Haruno, pleased to meet you, I think."

This girl was quite beautiful. She had long pink hair and beautiful emerald eyes. She, by her uniform, seemed to be a cheerleader. She was the person who explained to Naruto who Ino was, and how this school worked. She had been the nicer person he had met so far, although she had be the only one apart from Ino.

"If you are not in the soccer team you are no one" Sakura ended up by saying.

"Then I guess I'll have to try out for the team." Naruto answered with a goofy smile on his face.

After saying this Sakura ran out of the class. Tomorrow was tryout day and she had to be ready. Not because she had to try out, but because she was going to be testing possible aspirants for cheerleading.

After that class Naruto had many other classes and he met different students. But he didn't see Sakura again, although he really wanted to.

When Naruto arrived to his house he decided he was going to try out for the soccer team as Sakura had suggested, but for now he went to sleep. Tomorrow was going to be a long day.
