Sasuke's POV

I hate winter.

In fact I hate almost everything.

But I really hate winter.

I have plenty of excuses for hating this particular season; one I don't like the cold. Two snow taste like crap.

Three the tan I work so hard for over the summer fades back to my unnaturally pale skin.

Four I don't like people coming to my door and singing their crappy music.

But what I hate most about winter is Christmas.

And no I'm not Scrooge, in fact I give to charities and I attend tons of holiday dinners.

And even though I would never say it out loud, I like little kids. But don't tell anybody that.

And I do not walk around saying "bah humbug"(What kind of nonsense is that anyway?) to everyone who greets me with a "Merry Christmas" or "Happy Holidays".

I just don't like Christmas. Maybe it's because none of my Christmas memories are filled with happiness like everyone else's.

I turn to look out the window as the snow flakes fall and stick to the window.

In fact the first Christmas I can actually remember, is one of my worst memories.

I look back to my math teacher Ms. Karin; she's so annoying always fawning over me.

And she blushes like an idiot when she talks to me, which is freaky because she's my teacher. But to everyone else she's a bitch. And a scary one to.

Why's everyone leaving?

Was that the bell? Oh I didn't even notice.

I get up and begin to pack up my stuff when two of the devil's spawns jump on me.

"Hellllloooo Sasuke-kun" says the pink haired predator.

"Hi Sasuke- kun, like my new haircut" the blonde says flirtatiously. I ignore both of them and begin to walk with them both stuck to my back.

"Ohh Sasuke you're so mean!" "Maybe you guys should get off him", says Hinata.

Hinata is the second cutest girl in our school, the cutest is Ten Ten, and they are the only female students who don't jump on me. Ten Ten has been in love with Neji since... well longer than I care to remember.

Hinata has never liked anyone as far as I know and she's not annoying in the least. She's kind and easy going and she's nice to everyone.

Even me, and I'm pretty sure she doesn't like me. I don't blame her considering I treat her friends like crap, and I'm pretty rude to everyone else. She only puts up with me for Ino and Sakura's sake.

I walk to the cafeteria with them; we sit at the table we always do. Neji and everyone else are already there.

I look around and notice Kiba is missing. "Hey where's Kiba?" asks Ino.

Choiji shrugs, Neji's busy staring at Ten Ten's chest and Shikamaru's taking a nap and mumbling something about Temari. Gaara, Kankurou and Shino are talking about a video game and the rest don't know.

Eventually Ino turns back to the conversation going on between the girls.

"Yo!" calls Kiba as he walks over with his arm around a blond guy who I've never seen before. He's pretty good looking I guess.

The blond guy not Kiba. Kiba looks like crap.

He's tan, blonde hair, and blue eyes that have a weird purple glint. He's about my height maybe a bit shorter.

"Hey" he says loudly "This is Naruto" he say as he pats the guy's back roughly "He's fuckin awesome!"

That means he's idiot, I turn away suddenly uninterested.

"You're a transfer student right?" ask Neji. He smiles "Yeah" he looks to girls' side of the table. "And who are these lovely ladies?" he says with warm sly smile.

Even Hinata's blushing. This guys a charmer. I turn back to my lunch as they introduce themselves. And begin to daydream…

Naruto's POV

" My names Hinata" Hinata eh? She's a cutie definitely; you can see her curves through her uniform.

"My names Ten Ten" says the other hot girl. To bad she's off limit, to that Neji guy. The rest introduce themselves and they all seem pretty cool.

Ino and Sakura start telling me about the school, like the latest gossip, which teachers suck, who the losers are you know that stuff.

Then I notice the quiet guy in the corner who everyone seems to be ignoring. Well the guys anyway, the girls (especially Ino and Sakura) say something to him occasionally.

"Hey what's your name?" the table gets unnaturally quiet. "Hey you the quiet one."

He chokes on the sushi he was eating and turns to me his eyes widen in surprise. "Me?" I smirk and some of the guys snort.

"No the other quite one. Yes you."

"Sasuke. Uchiha Sasuke "

"Oh."

Wait on the Uchiha Sasuke.

"Wait Uchiha Sasuke? I've heard of you!" his eyes widen even further.

"Are you sure its not Itachi Uchiha you're talking about?" Itachi? Who the fuck is he?

"No. Your captain of the Konoaha's soccer team right? " He nods still surprise.

"Yeah my friend dragged me to your game when you played against the Burning Sand last year."

"Oh" he says still bewildered. "Yeah you were great!" "Thanks" he murmurs as a blush creeps on his cheeks. Damn his skin is pale. He looks like a strawberry.

"Maybe you could give me some pointers since I'm trying out for the team?"

He opens his mouth "Umm sure after-"

Kiba cuts him off abruptly. "Ha! As if that bastard Sasuke would ever help anyone else!"

Were they even listening he was about to say yes! "Hey Sasuke what were you about to say?" I ask.

"Naruto were on the team too we could help you," says Neji, completely ignoring the fact that Sasuke's trying to speak.

Are they ignoring him…on purpose?

I look back to Sasuke who's gone back to quietly eating with his head down and his bangs covering his eyes.

Man he looks sooo emo like that. I open my mouth to try to speak to again but Shikamaru beats me too it.

"You're better off having one of us help you, that jerk would just teach you useless shit or lie to you."

Damn these guys are cold. The guys right here and they're talking smack about him.

I look at Sasuke who still hasn't said anything or made an attempt to defend himself.

The bell rings and he quickly walks away from the table, I look at the rest of the table who pretend as though he wasn't there.

How could they treat someone like that? I mean I can understand if he's a jerk but there's no reason to completely ignore him like that. I mean if they aren't they his friends why was he sitting with them?

I look to the table and everything has returned to normal as they begin to pack up their stuff and re-enter the school.

I think I need to find out what's going on.

Later in Humanities…

Sasuke POV

I walked to Humanities by myself. I was angry with myself for not standing up for myself and now Naruto probably thinks I'm an ass. And I would have given him some pointers. I have so much free time its pathetic. Its not like I have anyone to hang out with…

I shake my head and breathe before I start getting upset.

I still can't believe he asked about me before he asked about Itachi… I mean from the look on his face it seemed liked he'd never heard of Itachi.

You'd have to be living under a rock not to know who the great Itachi Uchiha is…but he somehow knew who I was… what a weird guy.

But still, weird or not it was still nice… to be noticed. He didn't ignore me like everyone else…and even after he knew who I was he still wanted to hang out.

It felt… nice.

But I may as well forget it; by now Kiba has probably convinced him I'm a bastard.

There goes my chance at finally having a friend…and yes I want a friend! There's nothing wrong with having friends! You have friends don't you!

"Hey mind if I sit here?" says a male voice. I'm so depressed I simply nod without looking up.

"Hey so will you give some pointers?"

I look up, to see a smiling blonde. And I feel like I could cry…well maybe not cry but I feel like a big weight of semi depression has bee lifted off my shoulders.

"Yeah." He grins.

"Great. My friend is going to be so jealous! Wait till I tell him I'm practicing with the great Uchiha Sasuke."

The great Uchiha Sasuke? I could get used to that.

. "You know your friend can come with you if he likes…" his blue eyes widen slightly.

"You know I don't understand Uchiha you're a good guy…so why does Kiba –and everyone else have beef with you?"

Wish I knew.

I shrug and his eyes narrow.

"It's always been that way I guess"

"Really? You mean they just don't like you?" I nod and blush a little embarrassed.

Naruto's face becomes serious and slightly angry.

"That isn't right. I mean that's bullshit…complete bullshit," he mutters darkly.

Why does he care so much we barely know each other?

"Its okay, it not that bad." Which isn't a complete lie.

It's not bad.

It's worse.

"Why do you hang out with them?" Finally a question I can answer.

"Because its better than being alone" I whisper quietly.

A familiar pain runs through my chest. I hate being alone even more than winter.

A look of understanding glimmers in his eyes.

"Yeah I know what you mean" he says. And I believe him
