Everyday Itachi went to school and came home. Most teenagers would leave work inside the classroom, but Itachi hated to do such a thing. He enjoyed working for hours and hours on end. It distracted him from all the other stupid things. It was what he did best. He had straight A's and his parents were proud, but that was not enough. He had to work hard and get into a good college, maybe then he would be satisfied.

It was his senior year and he had pretty much applied to some of the top schools. Although he had an idea of what he wanted to do with his life. He never truly knew. Maybe he wanted to be a lawyer or a doctor? It mattered, but he decided not to worry.

He headed off to school as any regular old day, first class and the next class and the next, and on and on and on. He didn't need to truly pay attention as he had studied ahead. He always did. He never felt the need to let anyone know of his studying ahead. They need not know. He was a quiet, but smart person.

He headed to lunch and found himself sitting with the talkative Deidara and the absent minded Sasori. Sasori and Deidara are an item, not that Sasori wanted to talk about it. He was clearly annoyed, but he loved the blonde boy anyhow. Itachi thought they were complete opposites, but they were truly made for each other.

"Well. Valentine's Day ball is a month away and you don't have a date." Deidara talked with his mouth fill of food. "I mean even your brother has a date." Deidara points to the other side of the cafeteria to Sasuke. He is currently arguing with Naruto, his rival.

"They hate each other." Itachi responded. He bit into his apple. "I do not want to go to a stupid dance."

"Why Not!" Deidara whined. "You fun sucker. We are goanna get you someone. Even if it kill me"

"No. That's not necessary." Itachi responded. "You can save your self sacrifice for another day."

"Why?" Deidara asked. "You need to go. Hey what about Hidan?"

"Hidan?"

"Yeah. Isn't he single?" Deidara taps his aloof boyfriend who gives him a death stare.

"Yeah." Sasori said. He returns back to his food. He eats slowly as if to catch every bite.

"Me and Hidan?" Itachi rolls his eyes. "Anyways. What makes you think I am gay?"

"Well you want a girl we can get you a girl." Deidara spoke recklessly. Itachi truly didn't find a single man or woman attractive. For him attraction is not about gender, it was about a connection. He should be able to connect with that person. Chemistry was the word.

"Dei, drop it." Sasori said. "He doesn't want a date."

"Sasori! He needs a date." Deodar said. "There is nothing the matter with me wanting my best friend to have a date."

"Guys. If I want a date, I would have one." Itachi crunched his apple. He eats it down to the core. "Also I cringe at the idea of me and Hidan going together."

"Bitch I am sexy." Hidan pats Itachi on the back. "Anyways I don't want to go out with your ass anyway."

"You got a date?" Deodar face brightens.

"No." Hidan said. "Lord Jashin would hate me if I attended a dance full of heathens."

"This psycho cult religion again?" Deidara and Itachi sigh.

"Hey I will sacrifice you, if you say another word." Hidan mutters

"Good. Deodars first, so he can stop asking me to go to the dance." Itachi rolled his eyes. He mutters something under his breathe and finishes the grapes he got. He loved fruit it was health, but sweet.

After lunch Itachi found himself in swim class. He hated swimming and he hated water. Water was stupid and the idea of people playing in it, was beyond Itachi. The only thing it was good for are showers and drinking.

He quickly got into the pool at the teachers Might Guy orders. Swimming was always a boring activity and Itachi seemed to not be able to pull it off as well. Guy decided the breaststroke was the stroke of the day. Itachi found it to be difficult. Who could move their legs in such an odd fashion?

He demonstrated the stroke on a bench, as he could not get into the water. This was dumb. How was he supposed to learn to swim, when the instructor didn't even get in the water? He decided to let it go and watch Guy's movements.

Then a boy with blue skin steps out the locker rooms. Itachi had never seen him before. He was tall and had dark blue hair.

"Oh yes and class this is the new student." Guy said. "His name is Kisame Hoshigaki."

The new student known as Kisame splashes into the water. He along with the rest of the watch Might Guy did the demonstration on the bench. He then motions the rest of them to try. Itachi tried, but failed over and over.

Kisame on the other hand picks up quickly. He does the breaststroke as if it were second nature. His body was toned and muscular. He was in a way kind of attractive. Itachi blushes and turns his head away quickly. He can't be seen looking at another student.

Swim class ends with most of the class doing it correctly, save for Itachi and a few other students. Itachi was a little frustrated, but washed himself in the shower. The worst thing about swimming was washing his hair. It would get tangled in knots. Today they seemed not to want to loosen themselves. He hated his hair.

The bell rung and Itachi was left dealing with his hair. He had to finish fixing it. He tried to work the knots out when a figure appeared behind him. He turned to see Kisame.

"Hey." He said. "Need help."

"No." Itachi answered. He knew the new guy was being nice. He didn't want to be nice.

The taller boy grabbed his hair and began to untangle the knots. Itachi blushed from the contact.

"I said n..." Itachi let out a small sigh and a moan. The way he played with his hair felt so good. He realised his actions and let out a hot red blush. The rosy color danced around his face.

"Its alright. I use to do this all the time for my ex girlfriend." Kisame said. "We went swimming all the time." Kisame said working his hands through Itachi's scalp. He got the last know out and Itachi was angry that he stopped playing with his hair.

"Why'd you stop?" Itachi's mouth slipped words out.

"Finished." Kisame said.

"Thanks." Itachi said. "About the moan…"

"Don't worry about it." Kisame said. "Don't mention it." He smiles and Itachi finds himself blushing. He wasn't the type everyone found attractive, but for some reason Itachi thought the man was. It was something about him.

Kisame waved and walked out the locker room. He was not a regular beauty. Was he? Itachi was left with this thought and he put his hair in a ponytail. He let out a breath.

'In control' he said to himself. 'In control'
