Chapter 1

The first day of school was the worst. Being a new kid in school is hard, especially if you've been in the city for a whole summer and didn't even make one friend.

When I walked into my first class, I just sat way in the back of class. Hoping I wouldn't get noticed by anyone. After the first bell, everyone started to walk into class. I was lucky I came into class first, I was able to get a window seat.

While the teacher was talking about something that had to deal with racism, a kid behind me tapped my shoulder. I turned around and he gave me a note. I opened the note and it read:

"What's your name?"

I wrote back saying "Naruto."

Shortly after, the strange boy gave it back, the note said "That's cool, my name is Sasuke." I just thought to myself, Is someone trying to be my friend? I replied saying "That's cool."

I never got the note back after that. After class ended, I was making my way to my next class, when I felt someone tap my shoulder again. Slowly I turned around, to my surprise it was that Sasuke kid.

"Hey Naruto."

"Hi?"

"What class you got next?"

"I think I have Chemistry. Just wait, let me check my schedule." After saying so, I took my backpack off and grabbed my schedule.

"Let me see that." He quickly grabbed the schedule out of my hand.

"You could've just asked me to hand it to you." He didn't say anything.

"We have all the same classes." Sasuke said this very cheerfully.

"That's cool, but what do I have next?"

"Well my friend, we have chemistry together."

"So, you want to walk together?" I asked shyly. He nodded and we started to walk together. I was glad he was with me because I had no idea where I was going.

We got to class and right away he sat beside me.

"I've never seen you before, where ya from?"

"I'm from Detroit."

"Then why'd you move to New York."

"My mom's job."

"Oh, so what do you for fun?" I didn't want to answer him because I did nothing for fun.

"Doesn't really matter. I guess anything I can get my hands on."

"Oh, so wanna hang out today?"

"Sure, now can you be quiet, I want to listen to the teacher." I just wanted this kid to shut up. He was annoying with all of his questions.

After class I decided to just go straight to my next class. I had one problem though, where was it? I wish I had another friend to show me the way, but all I had was this Sasuke kid and I didn't want to talk to him. He was annoying with all of his questions, so I stood there in the hallway thinking. Thinking of where to go.

"Come on Naruto, let's go to class." I nodded and decided to just go with Sasuke. Maybe in a couple days I could just leave the kid and do my own thing. Right now though, I have to memorize where all my classes are and then ditch the kid.

"You're awfully quiet Naruto."

"Really? I don't really talk to people I just met."

"But we didn't just meet."

"Really?" I was confused as to what he was talking about.

"We met two periods ago." Of course he thought that way.

"Oh."

"So, what you doing for lunch?"

"Gonna go home."

"Well your boring, just stay here and eat lunch."

"I can't, I promised my mom I would go home and eat with her." I lied, my mom wasn't going to be home for lunch. This Sasuke kid should just go away, my morning was going fine before he started talking to me.

"Lets just go to our class or we'll be late." As soon as he finished his sentence, the bell rang.

"What class do we have?"

"We have history."

"Great!"

"Whats wrong buddy? You don't like history?"

"My old man is obsessed with history. So after supper he would make me watch these old war movies. It's boring as hell."

"Well let's see how class is for ya. The history teacher is pretty chill." We walked into class and I was lucky. There were only two seats left and they were two desks apart. I was about to jump for glee, but I didn't because I didn't want to embarrass myself.

I walked toward the seat and pulled my binder out. I sat in my seat and I looked behind my desk to see a cute girl. She had beautiful green eyes and short pink hair. She looked hot. I turned my head quickly just so she wouldn't realize I was staring at her.

After class, which felt like forever, ended. I was glad to go home for lunch, away from Sasuke. Sasuke was annoying as hell. Then I started to make my way out of the front doors when I felt a tap on my shoulder. I turned around hoping it wasn't Sasuke. Why wasn't I surprised? Of course it was him

"Hey I saw you staring at Sakura. You like her, right?"

"What? I don't even know who you're talking about and all I want to do right now is go home and eat." I just stormed off.

I got to my apartment and went inside. I opened the fridge and grabbed leftovers. Then I put it in the microwave and went to my laptop. When I opened my laptop, I blasted the song "Your Gonna Go Far, Kid" by The Offspring. After the song started to play, I grabbed my lunch from the microwave.

As I was eating, my phone started to ring. I answered.

"Hello?" I began to wonder, who it was.

"Hi Naruto." Of course it was her.

"Hey Hinata, what's up?"

"Just calling to see how your first day was so far."

"Oh, its alright I guess." I didn't want to talk to her. Since we did break up before I left for New York.

"Okay, I miss you."

"Uhm okay Hinata. I gotta go and don't call again. We're done, remember?" After I finished talking, she hung up the phone. She was the last person I wanted to talk to. To get her off my mind, I decided to turn off my phone and make the music louder.

I finished my lunch and was making my way to school. Before I left, I put a couple more songs on my iPod. Then out the door I went.

When I got past the front gate, I carefully looked around for that Sasuke kid. I didn't see him around, so I continued walking. I got inside the school and then I opened my bag for my schedule. Looking through my bag a bunch of times, I realized Sasuke still had it.

Now I have to look for that Sasuke kid. Where could he be? I turned towards the hall and saw him standing. He was standing with the girl that had pink hair. As I was getting closer, I felt the need to go back. I didn't want to be around Sasuke, but I really needed my schedule back. It also didn't help because we both had the same classes.

"Hey Sasuke, do you still have my schedule?"

"Yeah, right here." He handed me the piece of paper. I was getting ready to walk away, when an unfamiliar voice spoke to me.

"Naruto right?" It was the pink haired girl talking to me.

"Yeah and your name is?"

"Sakura, nice to meet you." She put her hand out, I shook her hand.

"Well I gotta get going to class, see ya."

"Just wait Naruto, we'll walk together." I didn't want to wait for him, but I did anyway.

We got to class and I sat in a desk first. I sat in the last desk in the back row, then Sasuke sat in front of me. I just wish he would look between the lines and not sit with me. His presence was really getting on my nerve.

After math class, I had a prep and decided to just go home. When I left the classroom, Sasuke asked if I was going home or not.

"Yeah, I'm just gonna go home and nap."

"Are we still hanging out? I have a prep too and I thought we could do something together right now."

"Sorry Sasuke, but I'm just going to go home. I'm really tired so I just want to rest."

"Okay, uhm you got a phone?"

"Pass me your phone, I'll put my number in there." Why was I giving him my number? I could care less though, all I really cared about right now was to go home and sleep.

After I put my number in his phone, we went our separate ways. I got home and I blasted the music and fell asleep on the couch.
