Konoha College: September 15th 2009, the rain was beating down hard and the sky was rumbling severely, Naruto, Sakura and Sasuke are stuck in their most boring lesson to date, Business Studies.

"Whose bright idea was it to pick this anyway?" Sakura whispered, throwing a glare in Naruto's Direction

"Hey, you didn't HAVE to pick it, i just suggested that we all pick the same, that way we could help eachother out" Naruto said defiantly

"No," Sasuke intervened "You whined when we said we were going to Suna College, and wouldn't stop complaining until we changed our minds, idiot" Sasuke said

"Anything the three of you would like to share with the rest of us?" their teacher said from behind them, making all three jump several inch out of their seats.

"No, Mizuki-Sensei" they said in unison, then Sasuke added

"'Cept that Naruto's an idiot" and the class started laughing, even Mizuki couldn't hide his grin.

"All right, settle down" he said, just loud enough to be heard, and the class soon settled just as the bell rang to signify the end of the lesson, "Assignments in this time next week, no excuses" he said as he sat down behind his desk and everyone got up to leave. "That includes you, Naruto." He added just as Naruto was halfway through the door.

Turning left into the stream of people was like an obstacle course at the best of times, but Monday Lunch times seemed to be the worst. Everyone was pushing and shoving, trying to get to the front of the line, a huge annoyance when all you wanted to do was get out of the way and round to the Music Department as Sasuke did. Once out of the main building he said to them,

"I'm going around to Music, get an extra hour in the studio, see ya later" and turned to leave. Sakura shouted after him,

"What about lunch?" His reply was a simple wave of the hand in the air, and he carried on walking. Sakura turned to look at Naruto, and concern covered her normally bright and cheery expression,

"I'm really worried about him, he hasn't been himself these past few days."

"Yeah, but what do you expect? i mean, if my parents left me, i doubt i'd have a s cool a front as he has." Naruto replied "At least Itachi hasn't ran off, they're both in the same situation, surely they'll help eachother out?"

"I'm not so sure to be honest, they're just as stubborn as eachother, what if niether of them admit that there's anything wrong? i mean, we only found out because we pestered him to the point were he got so angry he tried to thump you one" She replied.

"All we can do is offer to help, if he wants it, then it's there." He pulled his phone from his jeans pocket to check the time and noticed he had a text. It was from Hinata, and his face lit up instantly.

"Gonna guess that's from your new other half?" Sakura asked, putting on a cutey cutey voice. Naruto blushed ever so slightly and said

"It certainly is, and i'm gonna go see her right now while i have the chance, before i have to go to Music aswell, Catch ya later Sakura" and he ran off in the opposite direction to what Sasuke went. Sakura sighed and turned to walk back inside, only to bump into someone and drop her bag.

"HEY, watch were you're going!" she exclaimed at the boy who had just bumped her.

"Wha? you bumped me..." he replied, bending down, picking up her bag and giving her it "Whatever, this is a drag, i'm outta here" and he walked past her without a second glance, leaving her stood dumbfounded.

"Man, what a creep" she said to herself, and she headed back into the main building, ready for the next lesson.


A/N: Hey all, this is just a little idea that i had, and i'm wondering what you all would like to see? next three chapters will be each of our characters progress till the end of the day. Hopefully some of you avid Naruto fans will realise what September 15th is, you'll get an inkling into chapter 5 ;].
