Hey guy so here is my first Naruto fanfic. Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or any of it's characters. Constructive criticism is most definitely and always welcome! Hope you enjoy! ~Faith Hathaway


"You're so annoying!" he said. He was always teasing me and being mean to me. Today was no different, except that I was fed up with it. I pushed him. He stared in shock before recovering and pushed me back. I pushed him again.

"Hey!" A shout broke us from our glaring contest. It was his big brother, Itachi. He had been standing behind Sasuke the entire time while my older step-sister stood behind me. Itachi was mad. No one ever dared to mess with Sasuke or else they would suffer Itachi's wrath. Everyone knew this, but I stupidly ignored everyone's warnings. Now I had to suffer the consequences. I shrunk back as far as I could, which wasn't far because of the small play structure we stood on.

"Itachi, I am so sorry! I have no idea what's gotten into her!" With that said she grabbed my arm and dragged me away. Then, once out of ear shot and Itachi's general line of sight, she preceded to yell at me. " What were you thinking?! Are you really that stupid?! Now Itachi is gonna hate me for sure!" Of course she took their side! She didn't care about me; all she cared about was her stupid crush on Itachi. As she yelled at me, I began to cry. Not because she was yelling at me (please, I couldn't care less about what the bimbo thought of me), but because of Itachi. He was seriously the most intimidating 5th grader I had ever seen! Especially when you're new, a full two years younger, and stupid enough to mess with his little brother. It wasn't even that Itachi was that big or that scary looking, in fact he was quite handsome (as was Sasuke, even for a 3rd grader, not that I'd ever admit it). It was Itachi's eyes that frightened me. They were so fierce. if looks could kill, would have been dead been dead a thousand times already from that onle glare. It didn't help that he had a deep frown on his face. Sasuke's expression was the exact same as Itachi's, but his eyes were no where near as intense.

Just then, my best friend, Ino, came over to me. Ino had been my first friend here and she had the biggest crush on Sasuke. They had known each other since preschool (like most students here) and she had liked him ever since. I expected her to yell at me too, but instead she smiled. "That was brave. Stupid, but brave." I smiled back at her and wiped away my tears. I had been so worried about how I would face Sasuke in class after recess, but, with Ino by my side, I felt confident. Sasuke Uchiha was not worth worrying about and never would be...

...Oh how wrong I was...
