He dashed off the bus, glancing at his watch as he ran. There was no way he was going to be late for his first day of school! The teacher was probably already in the classroom.

The bell rang as he pushed open the double doors. Wincing, he jogged down the hall to where he knew his locker was. Taped to it was his schedule. He grabbed it and a notebook, and raced down to room 106.

Peeking through the window of the door, he saw (to his relief) that the teacher was late, too. He flung open the door, making two girls in front jump.

"You idiot!" one yelled at him. "Don't do that! Anyway, you're late."

He squinted at her. His first impulse was to make a snide comment, but when he saw her face, he stopped. She was the most beautiful girl he had ever met. He was in love.

"Hey! Hey, what's your name?" he demanded.

"Haruno Sakura," she responded haughtily. Then she turned to speak to the girl next to her.

"Don't you want to know my name?" he asked.

"No."

He sighed and slid into a seat in the back row. The boy who was sitting next to him turned.

"Tough luck with Sakura-chan?" the boy asked. He nodded. "I had the same problem. She's only got eyes for the pretty-boy in the corner." He nodded toward the other back corner, where a black-haired boy sat. This boy was rather good looking, and sat hunched over as though he was too good for any of the other students. "By the way, my name's Rock Lee. Yours?"

Immediately, he underwent a change. A smile spread across his face, and he jumped up on his chair. "I," he proclaimed, "am Uzumaki Naruto!"

"That's very nice," came a dry voice from the doorway. "Now that we know your name, why don't you sit down?"

Naruto turned to the door, and saw a man who was obviously the teacher. He had prematurely gray hair, but still looked young and wise all at once.

"You're late," he accused the teacher,

"So I am," the teacher said, rubbing his head, "Well, I couldn't possibly break my tradition of being late for the first day- or any day, for that matter." He stared up at Naruto. "Now sit down!"

Naruto sat. The teacher began to take attendance. "Chouji!" A boy across the room gulped down a cookie before answering. "Dosu!"

"Gaara!" A guy with freaky eyes nodded at the teacher. Naruto shuddered. He didn't like the look of that spook…

"Haku… Hinata… Ino… Kabuto…" The boy on the other side of Naruto raised a hand. Naruto grinned at him, and the boy smiled back. "Kankuro… Kin… Lee… Misumi… Naruto."

"What's your name?" Naruto demanded. The teacher ignored him.

"Sakura… Sasuke… Shikamaru… Shino… Temari… Tenten… Yoroi… Zaku. That's everyone," the teacher finished. "Was anyone left out?"

"I was," said a voice from where on the other side of Kabuto. "I'm Hyuuga Neji. You were probably told about me before."

The teacher nodded. "Along with two others, Neji. Don't get too full of yourself."

"Two others!" Neji jerked. "Who?"

"If they want to publicize themselves, I'm sure they will," the teacher snapped. He turned toward the rest of the class. "By the way, my name's Kakashi. I like these." He flipped a book out of his pocket and flashed it past the students. Naruto only caught sight of a big red "x" on the back cover. "And I HATE snotnosed students with superiority complexes!" Naruto cringed, and he was pretty sure that Neji was doing the same two seats down.

The bell rang, and Lee and Naruto hastily collected their things and ran out.

"What d'you have next?" Lee asked. Naruto scanned his schedule.

"I've got Chemistry, with Professor Snape, in Lab Two. You?"

"I've got him fourth. Now, I have computers with some guy named Inui." His expression turned brooding. "Wonder what Sakura-chan has."

Naruto clapped him on the back playfully. "Hopefully, Chemistry! Now, don't let it get you down."

The two boys parted, and Naruto headed toward the lab, not prepared for what would happen there…

AN: Well, that's chappie one! I've got about six or seven more written out, but I just need to motivate myself to type 'em out and get online. Hopefully, I'll find time once a week or so! Any, as you've probably guessed, this isn't only a Naruto story. I've included so far: Naruto, Rebirth, the King of Hell, Star Wars, Star Trek, Harry Potter, The Coalition, Animorphs, Remnants, and a teeny bit of the Prince of Tennis. Some characters are slightly obscure, but they all come from one of these series. Also, to avoid confusion during attendance, they're all called alphabetically by first name. Any questions? Comments? Review!

I don't own anything- these series belong to: whoever writes Naruto, Woo, whoever writes KOH, George Lucas (I guess), Gene Roddenberry (?), Basi Lisker (or Marc/Marc's black), K.A. Applegate, J.K. Rowling, and whoever wrote POT.

REVIEW!

Preview to next Chapter: Naruto makes some friends and discovers how diabolical a Chemistry teacher can be- faced with the likes of Harry Potter, Draco Malfoy and -scream in background- NEVILLE LONGBOTTOM! (Don't worry, not only HP)
