b Naruto POV

"Good morning Konoha high!" I smiled to myself as I looked at my large school. It wasn't very posh but it was a pretty good school. Nice teachers, students and they even have nice cafeteria food too! Well most people would agree with me anyway.

"Yo Naruto!" I turned around to see who had called my name, and of all people it was my best bud Kiba inzuka. We have been friends since the start of high school; I think he's a pretty cool guy.

"Hey Kiba! Where's everyone else?" I gave Kiba a puzzled look and waited for him to reach me.

"Dude! And I thought I was stupid!" Kiba grinned at me flashing his pearly canines to me which were sharp like dogs teeth.

"What? I'm not stupid...erm...stupid!" I retaliated making Kiba chuckle at my attempt to make a comeback.
"Nice comeback. Anyway, I just got a text off of Shika and he said that they were at the yearly assembly dude!" Okay so it was the start of the new semester and me and Kiba have been late to every single one. This was our third year and the head wasn't going to praise us for keeping up our lateness.

"Listen Kiba...Let's just not go. It really solves everything!" I stated freely. I could tell Kiba agreed since he had a wide grin plastered to his face.

Kiba had decided that we go to the roof since it was nice and quite which was unusual for a guy like him. When we got there I threw my black school satchel to the ground and lay on the floor using it as a pillow.

"Naruto?" Kiba asked in a small voice.

"Yeah?" I replied.

"I was thinking earlier-"

"Well that's a first." I replied taunting and giggling.

"Ha Fucking Ha. Anyway, I was thinking about school and what will happen when we finally finish. Will we still be friends after?" I thought about Kiba's question for a while. I knew that after school we would probably end up going to different colleges but I didn't want our friendships too end. Besides, without him I would be alone.

"Of course we will still be friends. Best friends. I need someone to be there for me when home life gets tough." I smiled up at Kiba who was casually leaning on a wall.

"Yeah. Oh by the way dude. My mom said if you need to get away for a while you're welcome to stay over for as long as you need." Kiba smiled at me. I liked it when Kiba was kind too me. Most people at the school are real jerks, especially Sasuke Uchiha. He was a complete asshole. I mean he was one of the most popular guys in school; got all the girls, emo looks, prince of darkness type thing going on. Oh yeah, if one day I had the chance I would totally kick his ass.

"Thanks alot." I smiled and imagined my life as a popular rich kid with a normal family. I would give the world for a life like that.

"Dog breathe...DOBE..." I turned around suddenly too see a tall dark figure standing at the door which lead down to the main building. I could feel the hatred in the word dobe, I knew who it was. Sasuke Uchiha.

"Bastard! What do you want?" I hissed at him. He looked at me coldly then began to slowly take steps toward me.

"Lady Tsunade told me too find the two losers who skipped assembly..." I saw a smirk curl on his lips. The one thing I hated most about him was his cocky smirk.

"Yeah! Well fuck off! You found us!" I shouted at him. The gap between us was closing and we were at least a few centimetres away from each other. I could feel his hot breathe on my face as we glared at each other.

"What did I just say you antisocial bastard! Get the fuck lost!" I growled low and pushed his chest hard. He tripped backwards almost losing his balance. I just hated how he could ignore everyone.

"At least I'm not a loser who has no money and has a crazy ass woman for a mom." He stood there in triumph. I could feel the anger inside of me building up. I clenched my fists and looked up at him my once azure eyes appearing almost red.

"Naruto!" I felt a heavy body tackle me onto the cold floor. When I looked up I realised Kiba had just saved my ass from being expelled.

"Hn..." Sasuke smiled at me before he left the roof. It was like he had no heart and smiled at people's misery.

"Naruto..." I could feel tears swelling up in the corner of my eyes. I was used to being bullied by everyone by now. But when it was Sasuke, I just couldn't take it so well.

"D-Don't worry about it Kiba...I-I'll be fine..." I was lying obviously. Every time Sasuke insulted me it just crushed my heart.

"I am going to kick his fucking ass later!" Kiba grinned down at me. We were still on the floor from where he had tackled me, but I didn't mind.

"I'll gladly help!" We just laughed together look always. I could feel Kiba's weight on my body. He was a lot heavier than me because I had a smaller frame. He always wondered how someone so small like me could have so much anger.

"We better get to class Naruto...You know how teachers get when we are late."

"Yeah..." Kiba offers his hand out and I take it. When we finally arrive at our first class I realise who we have. Kakashi Hatake. When we walk into class I can feel Kakashi's glare on me and Kiba.

"Boys, if you haven't noticed. I'm the only person in this class who gets away with being late..." I felt a blush approach my cheeks as the whole class began to stare at me and Kiba.

"Hmmm...Oh and I heard you missed the assembly. Any excuses?"

"..." I just stood there looking at my shoes. I knew me and Kiba would be punished severely later by Tsunade anyway.

"Take your seats boys." Okay so looking around at the new faces in our class I knew most of the people. I smiled as I saw a spare seat next to Sakura Haruno. Yeah she was one of the prettiest girls in our school. I really liked her and wanted to confess one day, unfortunately there was one problem. She liked the great bastard Sasuke.

"Hey Sakura." I smiled down at her and she smiled back. Sakura and I had been best friends when we were younger. She used to help me with problems at home. Whenever someone would make fun of me she would always stick up for me. But then Sasuke Uchiha transferred to our school and I was totally pushed out of the picture.

"Hey Naruto." Our conversation ended there like always. We never passed hello.

"Okay students. I have all of your schedules for this year. Uchiha san. Would you mind handing them out?" 'Uchiha san? No way! Sasuke's in my class!' I fumed about this while Sakura talked to her friends about how hot and mysterious the great bastard was.

"Hn. Sure." He replied in his icy tone.

I glared at Sasuke as he handed out the paper, I just prayed that we didn't have any of the same classes. "Dobe..." I hadn't noticed that Sasuke was standing above me. His dark orbs setting on my azure ones. He had a screwed up piece of paper in his hand which I assumed was my schedule.

"What?" I snarled back waiting for him to give it to me.

"Here." He threw the paper directly at me hitting me in the forehead. God I was getting angry. Just looking at his face makes my blood boil.

"Go fuck yourself bastard!" I shouted at him loudly. Actually, a bit too loudly.

"I don't need to fuck myself idiot. I have a girlfriend." That was right. I totally forgot the bastard had emotions. He was dating a fan girl called Karin. She was a total bitch.

"Uchiha san, Uzumaki san. Head to Lady Tsunades office now. I think she might want a word with the both of you.

I grabbed my bag and slung it over my shoulder. I was too angry to care about the trouble I was in. "This was your entire fault..." I threw my bag on the floor when were out of class.

"My fault? It's not my fault that you have no friends or family. It's not my fault that everyone makes fun of you." Sasuke looked angry but it didn't matter because I looked twice as angry.

"Mr Uzumaki! My office now!" I turned around to see a blonde haired women who had a big bust. She looked angry.

"But Baa chan! Sasuke is pissing me off!" I groan as she drags me too her office with her brute strength.

"Naruto...this is not like you at all! If you have problems with Mr Uchiha then deal with it outside of school." She says in a much calmer tone making the vein in the top of her head calm down.

"But he's a jerk. He always makes fun of me and my mom." I turn my head to the side trying to hide the pain in my eyes.

"Naruto...I will deal with Sasuke later and make him apologise, but for now let's talk of class and assembly" Okay I was a little freaked out. How did she know about class? Mr Hatake couldn't have told her...

Baa chan and I had a discussion about my behaviour and how Sasuke and I got us a week's detention to settle our differences. I was pretty bummed after that talk. I knew Baa chan would ring home and my mom wouldn't be happy. When the end of the day came around I was almost shaking with fear.

"Hey Dude?" I saw Kiba walk up beside me, he could tell I was scared to go home.

"I can't believe I got away with the assembly thing huh." The smile which was placed on his lips was now replaced by a serious look.

"Naruto...you know if your mom goes berserk you can always hang out at my house." Kiba's voice was full of concern; he knew my mom had a serious temper.

"I'll be okay Kiba...I'm sure my mom won't kill me." I gave him a small smile to make him worry less then waved goodbye to him. Our houses were basically five minutes away from each other so I really didn't have anything to worry about.

I took a deep breath in when I reached my small house which was dark and gloomy. I reached for a small house key from in my pocket, though I took longer than usual to find it. I reched for the handle and opened the door slowly. "mom...I'm home..."
