Chapter 1: He will be...
A blonde brow twitched furiously as his azurel eyes glared at the sight in front of him. Why God was torturing him, he would never know.
He quickly elbowed his laughing friend, who grunted and screeched a venomous "What the fuck, Uzumaki?!" and revenged the blonde idiot against the head (though the smaller boy hardly felt the pain, thanks to his hard and empty head).
Naruto Uzumaki, fifteen years of age, short than average height and a ramen fetish grabbed his golden locks as he tugged hard on them, "Gyah! I can't believe the auditions are here so soon!" he then threw down his arms lamely.
Kiba Inuzuka arched an uncertain brow. "Why the hell does that have your panties in a twist?" he asked curiously. Seriously, he'd never seen his best friend so irritated. From the wisdom words of Nara Shikamaru, auditions were just so...'troublesome'.
Naruto's eyes narrowed dangerously towards his companion next to him. He gave an unheated sigh.
"Well..." he began, "If I knew the auditions were THIS soon, I would've studied the lines for Romeo sooner."
Kiba's dog-like ears perked up. "Wait- lines for ROMEO?" He then scratched his head with a long nail. "Why would you want to be Romeo? Main characters are so uncool nowadays... Besides, that's a lot of lines to memorize, dude."
The blonde haired teen gave a cheesy grin, "I heard Sakura-chan was trying out the part for Juliet. And you know... towards the end, Juliet kisses Romeo... and you know what that means?" the boy's grin turned into a devlish smirk.
"Tell it to me staright." Kiba's lips turned into a devlish smile of his own.
"It means..." the eagered boy continued flatly, "Thanks to my incredibly good looks and talents, Sakura-chan maybe will be willing to give me some tounge... and maybe even after she sees how awesome I am, we could go to her house and-"
The interrupted freshman gave his brown-haired friend a glare as his buddy made a 'bleah' sound.
"Sakura Haruno?" he stated the obvious, as if he just now heard the blonde talking about her, "Why her? She's so snobby, rich, preppy... There's no way she would ever do Juliet if YOU'RE going to be Romeo."
"What?! That's fucking bull, Inuzuka."
"One hundred bucks she'll let her sun-reflecting forehead grow taller another couple inches instead of kissing you in a play." The canine boy bet, placing his hand out.
Naruto huffed stubbornly, boldly, and stupidly before connecting his tanned hand with the other. Both boys eyed eachother down in challenge while shaking their hands firmly.
"By the way... Which character are you trying out for?" Naruto asked, letting go of the other's hand (which, by the by, smelled like dog).
Kiba flicked his tounge. "Mercutio." he said simply.
"Why him?"
Kiba chuckled (which sounded more like a howl). "Cause he's the best character. And since you're going to be Romeo, might as well be Mercutio. They're best fuck buddies after all."
Naruto rolled his eyes. "Never in your life, Inuzuka."
Kiba glared. "Yeah, yeah. Shino is so much better to fuck. We are starting a relationship after all. Jealous?"
The blonde boy waved a hand in an uncaring matter. "Nah. Shino the bug freak and you the blood hound. He could be a flea and settle onto your dirty and smelly fur. Seems perfect for eachother."
Naruto's companion crossed his arms. "Yeah... and you know who seems perfect for eachother also? Uchiha and Haruno. That's probably the only reason Haruno's going for Juliet, along with all the other girls in school. Rumor has it that Uchiha is trying out for Romeo, also."
Naruto's body froozed.
"W-what did you say?" he began to stutter, ignoring Kiba's spreading smirk.
"You heard me. He's perfect for the part, too...He's a babe magnet, handsome, and a lot more mature than some idiot blonde I know."
Kiba felt himself sigh suddenly as the boy beside him was still froozen as a statue.
Naruto glanced at his friend when he was nudged.
"Aww, c'mon, Uzumaki. I'm just messin' with you. Why would anyone let the Uchiha bastard play as Romeo? He's a snot-up snobbier rich freak than Saku-"
"What about me?"
As if on cue, Naruto and Kiba turned around to see none other than Sauke Uchiha standing before them with all his glory. Dark raven hair that was so soft and perfect, toned muscles that matched his well built body. Oval, almost black eyes that seemed to pierce through people. And, oh, that voice. Husky and irresistible... Is that the definition of perfection?
Kiba backed away a foot, and gave a nervous laugh, "U-Uchiha... Good morning!"
Kiba 'erked' as he felt the other's cold gaze towards him, which soon left and fell upon a certain blonde boy (who was glaring).
"What the hell do you want, teme?" Naruto boldly asked in demand. God, the Uchiha was one freaky bastard. If the blonde didn't know better, he'd thought Sasuke was stalking him (because he was so good looking, after all). "Can't you see it's rude to easedrop?"
"Hn." the Uchiha gave a small smirk as he dugged his pale hands into his pocket's. " Nobody would want to easedrop on two squawking schoolgirls, usuratonkashi."
The blonde twitched as he took a step foward, "What the hell did you say?"
Sasuke sighed. "Must I need to repeat myself? Even if I told you a thousand times, your brain still wouldn't even calculate to understand."
Even after bening grabbed by the collar, Sasuke's eyes never changed as black met blue. Dancing into a firery battle. This time... Naruto wouldn't lose. He couldn't. Things would be different this time. This time he would be strong. This time...
"Oi, Naruto." Kiba grabbed his friend's shoulder. "Just let it go, man. He isn't worth it."
"Stay out of it." Naruto warned.
"Dude, what's the point in trying to get Romeo's part if you're suspended?" The Inuzuka boy reasoned with his best friend, who suddenly loosened his grip and looked deep in thought. Sasuke rolled his eyes in mere anoyance.
The raven haired boy patted off his collar in complete disgust before heading down towards the hall. "You wouldn't have the guts to do it, anyways." he mummbled past a suddenly confused Naruto.
"Huh?"
And with that, the Uchiha disappeared. His spicy and unpleasent after presence still remaining where the two boys stood. Naruto grinned sheepishly towards Kiba, who slapped his temple's and sighed in complete and total relief.
--
"Alright, so how about this..." The blond cleared his throat, "Is love a tender thing? It is too rough, too rude, too boisterous, and it pricks like thorn." after saying one of the blonde's many lines, he rubbed the back of his head. No matter how much he tried to tame his voice to go deep and calming, it wouldn't work. This was much harder than he thought. Maybe Iruka-sensai would go easy on him?
Kiba gave a small clap, while Shikamaru gave a yawn in return. The blonde glared and stuck his tounge out at his snickering friends.
"Jeez, Uzumaki. You sound like a love-struck desperate chick." Kiba commented.
Shikamaru let out another uncaring yawn. "I agree."
"Well thank you, you bastards." Naruto plopped down from where he was standing; his cute butt making contact with the cold, wooden floor. "Jeez, this is so much harder than I could ever hope to imagine."
The Inuzuka boy of the group flicked his script. "If love be rough with you, be rough with love; prick love for pricking, and you beat love down." He made a sour face. "When the hell do the violence happen?"
Naruto and Shikamaru both shrugged.
The canine boy turned around. "Oi, Choji, what part you trying out?"
Choji, was was sitting down on a pile of fresh hay and eating small baked chips, crunched, "Capulet. I heard he eats in a lot of scenes and hardly has any lines."
Naruto frowned. "Lucky bastard."
"You got that right..." Kiba nodded in agreement.
"What part you going for, Shikamaru?" Naruto question, tilting his head.
Yet again, the lazy genius let out another sigh.
"Friar Lawrence." A simple reply.
"Why him?" It was Choji who asked this.
"Easy character who hardly does anything at all... But a good guy."
Kiba grabbed his friend's lazy head and gave a slight nuggie. "You're no fun at all, you lazy ass!"
"You got that right! Cool guys like us should be in the sword fighting and all the cool action packed scenes!" Naruto high-fived Kiba, who ruffled a 'damn right'.
As all four boys soon sat together and studied their lines, time seemed to pass by quickly. Rather too quickly in fact. Oh, how the poor, unlucky blonde wished time went suddenly in slow motion... Oh, how he wished...
"Naruto!"
"H-hai?!" the blonde turned his head away from the group as he heard his name suddenly being called.
Iruka used a hand gesture to call the nervous boy over, who rushed up and walked nervously towards the grinning teacher.
"You ready?" the scar-faced man asked in a sweet tone.
Naruto gave a small nod. "I guess, but..."
"Good!" Iruka clasped his hands together, taking a seat where he could watch the boy fully in both movement and emotion. Only the best people, after all, could be in this play. "And which part are you trying out for?" he questioned.
"Uh, Romeo."
"I see. Nice, nice!" Now! Let's get started, shall we?" the teacher flipped quickly through his script. "Hm. How about you do quote "not mad" from Act lll. At the top in the second paragraph. Remember, a lot of emotion. Romeo is not yet angry, but sounds like it here. Dramatic, let the anger fill you. Now. Begin."
The blonde swallowed a huge lump in his throat as he felt everyone's eyes suddenly on him. Maybe this was a bad idea, after all... No! He wasn't going to let Sasuke win! Or any other guy! He will get that kiss with Sakura if it's the last thing he did! He flipped the papers towards the exact page and stood straight. He puffed out his cheeks, took out a deep breath, and...
"Not angry, but bound more than a mad man is. Shut up in prison, kept without my food, whipped and tormented!"
...He wished he could shoot himself.
"Dammit, Naruto! I warned you to try not going in a deep voice. You sounded, once again, girly!" Kiba gritted out.
The blonde slumped as he heard a few girls behind him giggle while some other people let out small chuckles. Dammit, God, WHY did this have to happen to him?! WHY?!
As Naruto narrowed his eyes towards his teacher, he quickly didn't miss the smile that was pasted onto the elder man's face.
"Good, Naruto. That's enough."
Naruto flinched, "W-Wait! I can do better, actually! I was just nervous, and--"
"I said thank you, Naruto."
After feeling totally rejected, the whiskered face boy groaned as he headed back towards Kiba and the rest of his buddies, who patted his back and told him everything would be alright.
...Maybe they were right...
...Maybe they weren't...
Naruto still had his head faced towards the ground as all his friends went up to do their parts... even the blonde couldn't look at Sakura while she did her part for Juliet... All he could hear was her sweet voice filling the room with life. Imagining her hair flipping as she moved around. Her green eyes glowing...
After all the auditions were finally over and completed, Iruka-senei called all of his students over towards the stage, still having a smile formed on his face. He looked incredibly happy.
"Thank you everyone for trying out. You all were wonderful, really. I wish I could cast every single one of you in the play, but... Heh, it's not possible. So, I will now annouce who will be playing who, and whomever is choosen, will be that character in the play."
Everyone nodded vigerously.
"Ahem... First off... the person who will be playing Friar Lawrence will be... Nara Shikamaru."
"Troublesome..." Shikamaru's random sudden comment shocked a few people near him. And they soon scooted away.
"Next for Mercutio... Inuzuka Kiba-"
"FUCK YAH!"
Sigh. "Kiba, language."
"Are the swords real?" Kiba asked.
Iruka twitched. "No, Inuzuka-san, they're not."
Kiba made a face. "Bleah..."
And so, Iruka continued naming off the people who would be playing what. Hinata would be The Nurse. Tybalt would be Neji. Capulet would be Choji. Lady Capulet would be played by Yamanaka Ino. Montague would be Kankuro. TenTen would be Lady Montague. Paris would be cooly played by Gaara and so on and so on...
And then...
"And part for our lead star of Romeo would be..."
Kiba grabbed Naruto's shoulder's and gave a slight squeeze to help his blood rush friend, who needed sudden oxygen... It was it so hard to breathe right now. But Naruto wasn't, in fact, the only boy who wanted the part of Romeo...
And slight nod... Then...
"Uchiha Sasuke."
"WHAAAAT?!"
All eyes turned to Naruto, who had eyes the size of two beach balls. The blonde began stuttering and he glared at the smirking and uncaring Uchiha.
"Why HIM?!" the blonde pointed a finger at the person he hated most.
Iruka sighed, for he knew this would come.
"Look, Naruto... Sasuke has talent in this part. You have a lot of professional and potential talent, but this part wouldn't be right for you. Do you understand?
Naruto thrusted his face towards his teacher. "Obviously not! If you say I have potential, then I should've gotten this part no matter what circumstances!"
Blue eyes twitched as he narrowed them towards the girls that flung themselves at Sasuke.
"Congrats, Sasuke-kun!"
"Ooh! I hope I got the part as Juliet!"
"No way! I'm getting it!"
"Sasuke-kun!"
"Squeal!"
Naruto's eyes grew colder as he saw a clinging Sakura along with the rest of the girls.
She giggled. "It'll be fun working with you, Sasuke-kun!" she blushed innocently.
Iruka raised his hands. "Now, now! No need to get so competative! I'm announcing Juliet's part this very moment!" he explained and promised.
The girls gasped excitedly and turned around to their sensative elder. Naruto continued glaring at Sasuke, and Kiba tried calming his idiot friend down.
"Now... for Juliet's part...The person to play her is..."
The girl's heart raced as butterflies filled their stomach's.
And then...
After moments of clear thinking, nervousness, and silence...
"Uzumaki Naruto."
Suddenly, and once again, all eyes faced towards a scared and certain blonde, who felt like he had been slapped.
"WHAAAT?!"
