Chapter 1:
I have no idea who my parents are or where they are, and I've been alone since I can remember, well except for one. Konoha high is the new high school I'm supposed to be attending.
My uncle, Jiraiya, is the only relative that gives a shit about my education. You see, my old high school, wasn't really a school. It was more like a prison; we worked and worked, but never did school work. We didn't sit in desks, or have teachers assigning us homework; it was just cold, hard labor.
I was currently walking up the steps to my new high school, and from what my uncle said, it's supposedly an original high school, where I'm supposed to be getting an education. Shocking ne?
Yeah right. Just another institution full of imbeciles who judge, are shallow, and only care about popularity. Damn. This place was huge. Many buildings littered the campus, carrying different signs of which one was which, how the hell were people supposed to find anything in this place!
I could hear the whispers around me from all the other students. SO WHAT? So what if I've got these cut off jeans, military boots, and a black faded shirt. So what if my hair is blonde with red and black streaks and I'm wearing black make-up! It's my choice of what I want to wear! Damn people!
I just reached the entrance to one of the main buildings labeling 'office'. Che. Wow, that's original, I wonder if they came up with the name themselves. I opened the door and entered, feeling a slight breeze of fresh air from the air conditioned building.
"May I help you sir?"
I turned around to see a woman behind a desk looking at me expectantly behind her computer. She had these red eyes, brown slightly wavy hair reaching her shoulders, and what looked like fangs, man are people weird here.
"Yeah. I'm new here, name's Uzumaki, Naruto. I was wondering if I could get my schedule."
I looked at her cluttered desk, figures, she's the secretary. Lots of 'important' looking documents were scattered and a picture of her and a shadowy faced man was framed next to her morning coffee in a cup that read "I am woman and I am damn proud of it." Her name plate on her desk read Kuranai Y. – School secretary.
Hmm…..wonder if-
"Here you go."
I looked up at her as she broke through my thought process. She held a piece of white printer paper up to me, which had a printed list on it.
"Thanks."
I turned away, hearing her murmur a 'your welcome' but I just ignored it and walked out of the building.
Looking down at my schedule I breezed through the list.

Great. On the back of the schedule was a school map, 'supposed' to help you find how to make your way around campus, but it looked more confusing than most difficult math problems. Gods and I thought reading Chinese was hard.
Looking around, I saw each building was labeled with a sign. I walked around in circles of each building, for a little while around campus. Hearing the bell ring, I sighed and kept searching, until I finally ran into a man wearing a shirt labeled 'campus security'.
"Can I help you?"
Gods his voice was cold. His eyes were so coal black, it was like looking into the depths of darkness. Not to mention, his ebony hair, was so long, it was pulled back into a ponytail, and he had two lines running down on either side of his nose distinctively sculpting his features.
"Yeah, I'm looking for-"
I looked down at my schedule until I found my first period.
"The 'W' building, could you direct me? The map the front office gave me is kinda confusing."
I saw him close his eyes and turn before he started off to the right, I assumed he wanted me to follow him, so I followed.
We passed many buildings, a few benches and tables, and a football field, before we reached a bright white and blue building. That was when the man stopped and turned to me.
"This is the 'W' building. All classes are numbered, please hurry to class."
"uhm. Thank you …."
"You can call me Uchiha-san."
"Right. Uchiha-san."
Talk about a creepy person! Ek! I continued my way to the building. It was in a pod shape, all classes seemed to be in a hallway with a door to the outside, so walking over to the door, I opened it and stepped inside.
An echo followed my entrance into the space of the dark hallway. Talk about eerie. Looking on either side I saw the numbers above each door labeled, starting from me, on my right read 'W-1' and on the other 'W-2'. Guess the number increases as I further proceed into the hallway.
I continued walking, trying to ignore the way my footfalls seemed to echo in the abandoned area, looking left and right, reading the increasing numbers as they went, 'W-5', 'W-15', ah HA! Here it is. W-21. GEEZ! They really just love messing with people's minds don't they.
Walking up to the door labeled W-21 above the door way in an engraved silver plaque, I knocked on the door, and waited for the 'come in' before proceeding.
Damn. This was going to be hell.
