Okey, first fan fic! I hope you like it. Just remember: I SUCK at summaries. So if the summary sucked, trust that the story will be better.

Prologue

It was the end of the first month as a sophomore for him. He had moved all the way to northern Delaware from California for this college, and he didn't regret a thing. The blonde loved college so far and had already made quite a few friends, even though he stood out with his sun kissed skin and light blonde hair.

"Hey! Uzumaki!" He turned to see who was calling him. There, waving his arms around like some sort of animal, was Kiba Inuzaka. He stood just outside the library doors.

"Hey, Kiba!" Naruto waved back. Kiba hopped down the steps and ran toward Naruto.

"Whazzup, dude?" Kiba punched his arm playfully. "Have you seen Hinata around?" Hinata was Kiba's girlfriend. They had been going out since the middle of freshman year.

"Nah. Sorry."

"Oh well. I'll catch up with her later. Wanna go somewhere?"

"I can't. I've got a shit load of homework to do." Naruto sighed. Classes were hard, more than he cared to admit, and homework was taking up all of his free time.

"Since when did you care about classes?" Kiba asked. Naruto rolled his eyes.

"Since I started getting C's and D's." he sighed.

"Ouch. Well, I'll see ya later then." Kiba said goodbye to his friend and ran off looking for Hinata. Naruto hunched his shoulders as he thought about how much he needed to do. As if the weight of the books he had to read were now sitting on his head. He was so lost in his mind (it's a mess in there) that he almost didn't notice the two football players shoving a guy up against a wall. Naruto peered in at the scene, staring at the boy being pushed around. Naruto felt that he recognized him somehow. He had raven hair and midnight eyes; he was a little shorter than Naruto (which was like, 10 inches shorter than the football players) and he was skinny but had some muscle on him. He was beautiful.

"Hey pretty boy, where's my homework? You said it would be finished by now." The bigger football player said. How cliché, a football player making the weaker do the hard school stuff for him. The smaller guy looked down, not saying a word.

"C'mon! Cough it up!" The smaller football player demanded. Naruto decided that this was too much and went to his classmate's aid.

"Hey guys, lay of 'im will ya? Don't you have anything better to do?" He asked. All three looked at Naruto. The football players smirked.

"Aw, lookey here. We got ourselves a hero." The first said in a forced touchy voice.

"Get over the cliché! Look, why don't you just leave him be. I promise he'll have your homework by tomorrow." Naruto swore. The two looked at each other and nodded. They grunted and gave a last pushed to the unfortunate guy before they left. Once they were out of sight Naruto went to help gather the ravenanette's books. "Are you okay?" He asked concernedly. His classmate didn't answer, he only stared at Naruto. "Hello? Did you hear me? I asked if you were alright." Naruto repeated himself. Once again his words were met with uncomfortable silence.

"Th-thanks." The guy said quickly, then took his books from Naruto and walked off.

"Hey! Where're you going?" Naruto called after him. "Can you at least tell me your name?" But his classmate ignored Naruto and ran out of sight. 'What did I do?' Naruto wondered.

The next day, Naruto walked to his Advanced Trigonometry class with Kiba and his other friend Shikamaru.

"It was so weird! I mean, I saved the guy from these two bulked-up football players and he hardly says two words to me!" Naruto complained.

"Why are you so bothered by it, anyways? So what if he didn't say 'Gee, thanks mister for helping me'? Get over it." Kiba grunted.

"Yeah, Naruto. You're being troublesome." Shikamaru yawned. Typical Shikamaru. Naruto was frustrated by his friends' lack of agreement. All three walked into the large classroom, seeing that many students had already arrived.

"Hm, Hatake isn't here yet. Guess we have time to talk!" Naruto beamed.

"Big surprise. That guy's alwayslate." Kiba said lazily. Naruto started to laugh but stopped abruptly when he glanced over to the back of the room.

"What is it?" Shikamaru asked.

"It's the guy! From yesterday!" Naruto pointed. His friends turned to the direction that he was pointing. The boy sat quietly in a desk, reading a rather large book.

"Oh, that's Sasuke Uchiha. He's a quiet one." Kiba chuckled. With this newly acquired information, Naruto marched up to the Uchiha that had so quickly brushed him off the day before. He stood before his desk and Sasuke slowly and kind of nervously looked up.

"Hello, Sasuke Uchiha." Naruto smirked. Sasuke's eyes widened a little; he didn't remember ever telling the blonde his name. "You still haven't thanked me yet for saving your ass yesterday." Sasuke gave a curious look and opened his mouth as if he was going to say something. He looked confused and shut his mouth again.

"Come on, Naruto! Leave the guy alone!" Shikamaru called, but Naruto ignored him. He was determined to talk to the raven haired boy. He wanted to know why he had ignored him.

"I would kinda like to know why you just left me hanging there. Got an answer?" Naruto demanded. Sasuke looked up at this strange boy he had heard so much about, this Naruto Uzumaki. Nobody had ever really talked to him like this before, he wasn't used to it. Every since that horrible disaster, people had treated Sasuke differently. They hardly even gave him a second glance, as if he was…going to break from their stares. He eventually became used to the silence, but this blonde was shattering his protective shell. Sasuke gathered up the courage to say something.

"I-I just had somewhere I n-needed to go." Sasuke stuttered silently. Naruto looked surprised to hear a response from him.

"Was it so important that you couldn't even thank me? That's rude you know." Naruto scowled.

"S-sorry." Sasuke apologized. He just wanted Naruto to go away, but instead the blonde smiled and sat…down…next to him!

"It's alright! By the way, my name's Naruto Uzumaki!" He smiled. Then he turned over to his friends on the other side of the room. "Hey! I'm gonna sit next to Sasuke this time, okay?" Some other students looked at him strangely as he shouted.

"Whatever." His two friends said in unison. Sasuke stared in disbelief at Naruto's laid back behavior. How could he just talk to random people and decide to sit next to them out of the blue? Naruto noticed Sasuke staring at him.

"You don't mind do you?" He asked hurriedly. "Cause if you don't want me here, I can leave. I don't mean to barge in." Sasuke shook his head slightly.

"No…it's okay." He said quietly, shocking himself that he would ever agree to this. He silently turned back to his book and continued to read, attempting to relieve himself from his nervousness. Sasuke had always found comfort in his books, diving into fantastical worlds unknown from his own tortured one. Unfortunately, his book held no relief because he was dealing with something that won't go away. A person. Sasuke felt eyes on him. He turned his head and found two cobalt orbs eyeing him.

"What're you reading?" Naruto asked. Sasuke, once again, felt unfamiliar with having to talk so much.

"Uh, The Divine Comedy." Sasuke answered.

"Cool, so how is it? Is it funny?" Naruto questioned dumbly. Sasuke couldn't help but crack a little smile. Is it funny?! Naruto seemed stunned that Sasuke grinned.

"The Devine Comedy is a classic book about the Greek's interpretation of the afterlife. It's far from funny." Sasuke explained with traces of the smile left on his lips.

"Uh…I knew that! I was just testing you! Sure, sure, I know all about that book. I've read it a few times already." Naruto tried to redeem himself. His attempts made Sasuke smile again. Feeling more comfortable, Sasuke put his book away and listened to the tan blonde prattle on. About fifteen minutes after the class was supposed to start, Hatake finally arrived.

"All right, people! Let's get settled! Take out your notes from last class so we can continue." The teacher shouted over the loud noise in the room. Students filed back to their seats and rummaged through their bookbags for notes. Naruto glanced at Sasuke who was searching through his neat binder. Giggling slightly to himself, Naruto grabbed his notes and prepared for the long and boring lecture on numbers. Maybe this class wouldn't be so boring this year.
