Boredom.

It sucked.

Naruto sighed and let his head fall to his desk.

Life at the Konoha ninja Academy was not entertaining. It was not exciting, it was not thrilling, it wasn't – anything.

It. Sucked.

Sighing again, he tilted his head to one side, seeking desperately for a distraction – anything would do.

Seeing nothing but Sasuke and a wall, he rolled his head to look at his other side.

Choji. Well, maybe if he asked really nicely, Cho might let him have a chip? Naruto snorted mentally. Yea, right. The only one Choji would give a chip to is Shikamaru. The lazy bastard. Does nothing but sleep, 'cause he knows it all already. Damn I'd hate to be him, nothing to do, nothing challenging… just boredo-

Naruto slapped his head. It was a harsh and unforgivably loud sound in the otherwise oppressive silence pervading the classroom. It also hurt.

… The fact that it made everyone turn to stare at him was also rather embarrassing. But he just grinned and waved, after all, any attention is still some attention. Quickly, everyone lost their interest – it was only Naruto, after all.

Naruto looked at the clock, and groaned. Twenty minutes left.

Disclaimer: I do not own the wonderfulness that is Naruto. Tragic isn't it?

Ok, for both this one and 'Safe' I had half an hour before my tutorial… and a half empty computer lab. Before that, I was staring at the clouds when I should've been reading. Voila.
