This is my very first story I have ever written. I first published it on Quizilla but I decided to make some changes to it and put it on here. I hope it is better than what I originally wrote.
Note: I do not own Naruto. I only own my OCs and my story plot.
Have you ever felt like something was going to happen that would change your life forever? I did. To me, change was inevitable and I knew what it was like. My father got a new job in Konoha and we had to move. We always moved around so I expected it. Maybe I could call this place home, even if it may be for a short while.
At the moment I am on my way to my new school, Konoha High. My dad seemed to be throwing a hissy fit at the inexperienced driver in front of us. My dad was definitely one-of-a-kind.
"Get your ass off the road! You're going slower than necessary" He shouted angrily to the driver in front of us.
Yeah, that's my dad, Yamada Makoto. He's a somewhat laidback individual, who can be very hot-headed. But he can be quite overprotective, especially when it comes to boys, hence the reason why I mentioned he is somewhat laidback.
I couldn't help but stifle a laugh at his behavior. "Dad, calm down. School doesn't start for another 30 minutes."
He chuckled. "Sorry." He looked over at me and put on a cheesy grin. "Anyways, are you excited about your first day of school?"
"I guess. I mean, what is there to be excited about?" I replied back nonchalantly.
"Well….." He seemed to be at a loss of words.
Before he could respond to my question, we had already arrived at the school. I looked outside the car window and marvelled at the size. It was huge!! Bigger than any of the schools I had previously attended. I unbuckled myself, grabbed my backpack, and bade my dad farewell as I got out of the car. Once I shut the door, he waved and drove off, leaving me alone at the front of the school. As I approached the school, I couldn't help but have this weird feeling in the pit of my stomach.
'Today is definitely going to be interesting.'
Naruto's POV
I was sitting underneath one of the cherry blossoms located near the school. With me was Nara Shikamaru, Hyuga Neji, Sabaku no Gaara, Inuzuka Kiba, and Uchiha Sasuke. Shikamaru was lying against the tree next to me along with Kiba. Neji was leaning against it with his arms crossed and Sasuke and Gaara sat on a tree branch opposite each other.
As I was surveying the school grounds, I noticed there was a girl who I had never seen before. She had shoulder length black hair and was wearing the traditional school uniform for girls, a white button-up shirt with a green tie and green skirt. Even though she was far away, I could barely catch a whiff of her scent. Her scent was a mixture of blackberries and vanilla.
I put on a big grin. "Hey guys, we have a new classmate."
They looked up in the direction I was looking.
"So it seems" stated Neji with a smirk on his face.
"What's so great about her?" Shikamaru questioned tiredly. "It's not like she's any different from the girls here."
Shikamaru closed his eyes but didn't appear to be asleep.
Kiba sniffed the air. "I highly doubt that. She is definitely different."
Gaara stayed in his spot with his back against the tree. "I find no interest in her."
Sasuke jumped down from his spot in the tree and continued to look at the girl. "She's nothing special."
"Well, I don't know about you guys" I said getting up, "but I'm going to introduce myself to our new classmate."
I was so excited, I hadn't realized I started running over to her.
Kaori's POV
As I approached the school, a blonde kid was running at full speed towards me. Before I could move out of the way, we collided with one another. Or to be more precise, he collided into me. I fell over on my back and the kid landed on top of me.
"AH! I'm so sorry!" shouted the boy on top of me.
I inwardly groaned.
"It's fine, but....could you please....get off me. I....can't.....breathe."
My lungs were going to collapse on me if he continued to stay where he was at. "Oh, sorry about that." He smiled a big goofy grin and got off of me.
Once he was completely standing, he reached out his hand to help me up. I gratefully took it and dusted myself off once I was standing.
"You know, you should really watch where you're going" I said while I continued to get what ever dirt was remaining.
"Hehe...sorry" he said rubbing the back of his head. "I just get a little excited sometimes. By the way, the names Uzumaki Naruto. Remember it, dattebayo!"
I laughed a little at his comment. "Hi Naruto, my names Yamada Kaori. As you can probably tell, I'm new here."
"Yeah. So would you like for me to show you around the place?" Naruto asked as he started to put on a cute puppy dog face.
Who could resist?!
"Maybe later, but could you show me to the front office?" I asked.
"Yeah no problem, but first I want to introduce you to my friends. Some of them aren't here at the moment, so you can meet them later."
"Okay sure."
Naruto grabbed my wrist and started pulling me towards a cherry blossom tree near the school. From what I could see, there appeared to be five people underneath it. All of them, guys.
"Hey guys" shouted Naruto, his voice filled with excitement. "This is Yamada Kaori, our new classmate."
A couple of them greeted with a 'yo' while the rest just nodded. I did the same in return.
From left to right, Naruto named off each person. Starting from the left was Uchiha Sasuke, a boy with spiky blue-black hair in the shape of a birds butt and black eyes; Nara Shikamaru, a boy with brown hair pulled up into a high ponytail and brown eyes; Inuzuka Kiba, a boy with really messy brown hair, black eyes, and what appeared to be tattoos of two red triangles, one underneath each eye; Hyuga Neji, a boy with long brown hair tied into a low ponytail and white eyes; and Sabaku no Gaara, a boy with messy red hair, seafoam green eyes with black circles around them due to insomnia, and a tattoo of the kanji 'love' on the left side of his forehead.
Sasuke, Neji, and Gaara kept to themselves, Shikamaru was napping from the looks of it, and Kiba was eyeing me.
It was a little awkward.
"So Kaori, is it?"
I turned to Shikamaru who had asked me the question.
"Yeah, what's up?"
"What's your schedule?"
"My schedule?"
"Yeah!" butted in Naruto. "What classes do you have?! We might have the same classes together!"
"Well, first I have English, then Calculus. After Calculus I have lunch, then Gym, and then Chemistry."
"Ah man, you have Chemistry?!" said Kiba with a look of fear on his face.
"Yeah, why?" The look Kiba had on his face started to make me question whether or not my Chemistry class was the right choice to take.
"Orochimaru-sensei teaches Chemistry." said Neji. "He scared the shit out of Kiba."
The others chuckled at Neji's comment.
"Did not!" yelled Kiba with a blush on his cheeks.
"Oh yeah I remember that!" said Naruto. "The look on your face in class was priceless." Naruto fell to the ground laughing. He was laughing so hard that he started holding his gut from the intense cramping caused by it.
Kiba bunched up his hand into a fist and approached Naruto with anger written all over his face.
"Grrrr. Shut up Naruto! You were scared shitless too."
"I was not!" Naruto retorted back with the same level of anger.
Naruto and Kiba looked like they were about to get into a brawl. Sparks of lightning were starting to flash between the two.
"You guys are such losers."
Naruto, Kiba, and myself looked over to see Sasuke leaning against the tree. Eyes closed and arms crossed, a stoic look plastered on his face.
Naruto marched up to Sasuke and got right in his face. Kiba and I just stood where we were watching the whole scene. Everyone else was just doing their own thing.
"Grrrr...shut up Sasuke-teme!" yelled Naruto. He looked like he was about to punch Sasuke in the face.
"Make me, baka."
"Sasukeeee!"
This time, instead of looking like it, Naruto was about to punch Sasuke in the face.
"Will you guys stop fighting?" I said with anger lacing my voice. "You guys are acting like a bunch of kids."
"Sasuke started it" replied Naruto childishly, pointing his finger at Sasuke.
"Shut up baka" Sasuke said coolly.
"I don't care who started it. Just stop."
Man, guys are so difficult. They are always getting into fights.
"Heh...sorry about that Kaori" Naruto rubbed the back of his head. "Anyways...what's your schedule again?"
I mentally slapped myself and released a sigh. "First I have English, then Calculus, Lunch, Gym, and Chemistry."
"So, you have English with me, Sasuke, and Kiba...Calculus with Shikamaru, Neji, and Gaara...Gym with all of us and...Chemistry with Sasuke, Neji, and myself."
"That's great but what about you're other friends you mentioned?"
"Oh, you mean Sakura, Ino, Hinata, Tenten, and Temari, right?"
"I guess, if those are your other friends."
"Oh, well I don't know their schedules since they haven't arrived yet but I'm sure you have some classes with them."
"Yeah." I looked at my watch and noticed it is ten minutes until school started. "Hey Naruto?"
"Yeah?"
"Are you going to show me where the front office is or not?" I asked putting my hands on my hips.
"Oh yeah! Sorry I forgot! Let's go!"
Again Naruto grabed my wrist and whisked me away into the school. I didn't have time to say bye to everyone but I was going to see them again soon.
"Naruto will you slow down!"
Alright! First chapter finally up! Review if you like. I have my idea for this but I'm just having difficulty writing it out. Anyways, as you can see...Sasuke and Kaori first meet in this chapter but no sparks are flying. I want to take it slow for them. Again review if you like...and if you really have the urge to then flame to your heart's content.
