Naruto Uzamaki sat in his new bedroom, laying on his bed and staring at the ceiling. This was the second move this school year. At least he didn't leave any friends behind this time. Plus Iruka nad Kakashi both promised it was the last move. Now he was dreading starting a new school right in the middle of the semester. Tomorrow he would be Konoha's newest junior.
This time I won't make a complete ass of myself. Maybe this tiem won't be so bad and I'll actually make friends. If I play the game right I can really fit in. If only it wasn't the middle of the semester. He thought to himself.
"Naruto, diner's ready." Iruka, Naruto's foster father, yelled up the stairs.
"Coming," Naruto sighed and got up.
He walked downstairs and into the kitchen, sitting down at the table.
"What's for dinner?" he asked.
"Your favorite, Ramen." Iruka set three bowls on the table as Kakashi, Iruka's boyfriend, walked in.
"Hey kid," he sauid sitting down next to Naruto.
"Hello Kakashi. Dad, how come I have to start in the middle of the semester?"
"I know you're nervous Naruto, but it will all be alright. You'll see. We couldn't come any earlier." Iruka sat down and started eating.
Naruto didn't say anything more as he ate his Ramen. He knew Iruka moved them to live with Kakashi in Konoha, the town the two men had grown up in, to be with his friends and long time boyfriend. Iruka had gotten ajob at the school teaching Math before they had even moved two weeks ago. Kakashi taught English. Even so Naruto was still nervous about starting the new school. What if he didn't make any friends and became a loner again?
"You'll make friends in no time. Don't worry." Iruka said reading Naruto's mind.
Naruto smiled a small smile and looked as his father. He took his now empty bowl to the sink, then walked back upstairs to his room. He turned on some music and began unpacking his clothes. After amptying a box he threw it into a corner to take down later.
Dad's right. I shouldn't worry. Everything will be fine. He emptied another box and threw it in the corner. After emptying the third and final box he changed into sweat pants and got into bed.
