It was fifteen minutes before six when Naruto is awakened by the loud rumble of lightning outside his bedroom window. Sleepily Naruto opened his eyes just a little bit to take a peek at the time and a small groan escaped his mouth.
" Goddammit. Its still early." mutter Naruto sleepily as he snuggled deeper into his warm blanket.
The coldness is creeping throughout his body. After a few minutes, the sound of slow breathing rhythm fill the poorly furnished room indicating that whoever it is that occupy the room has already fallen asleep.
The shrill sound of the alarm jolted Naruto awake from his deep sleep. With one hand ruffling his blond soft hair and the other wildly searching for the source of the disturbing sound, he let out a very long yawn. And when I say long it is very long.
" Its only eight thirty, I got plenty of time to get ready for school." he mumbled sleepily while rubbing his eyes.
Slowly he rested his head once again on the pillow ready to continue his disturbed sleep when realization hit him.
" Oh shit! I am already late for school again." shouted Naruto and scrambled frantically out of bed.
Unluckily, one of his foot got tangle up with the blanket and he fell hard on the wooden floor. Naruto quickly got back on his feet even though pain still could be felt lancing through out his body.
" Ouch ," mutter Naruto when he felt a little pain and the bitter taste of blood filled his mouth.
Naruto let out a small sigh. Its seems like he accidentally bite his lip when he fall down earlier. Slowly he traces his finger where the pain could be felt gently.
" What should I do? He will notice the cut." wonder Naruto silently before he realize that he is wasting a lot of time already.
He quickly rushed towards the bathroom to wash his face and brush his teeth before changing into his school uniform as fast as he could.
At the main gate of Konoha Private High School could be seen a boy leaning on his back on the concrete pillar that supported the iron gate of the school. He has his arm crossed over his chest and his eyes are closed. Whoever that take a look will gape in admiration on how gorgeous and attractive the boy look even though a deep frown could be seen marring his prince like face. His midnight black spiky hair is complemented by his dark eyes match his physical features perfectly. Once in a while he will open his eyes and cast a quick glances on the street before returning to the previous position. For the student of this school, this is an ordinary scene as it have been repeated countless time already.
The classroom window that faced the main gate is swarmed by admiring female student that adore watching the boy every time they lay their sight on him. Now and then screaming could be heard whenever they think the boy look at them or there is a pose or expression that they think hot or cute. Not to mention some even got nose bleed due to extreme imagination.
Back to the boy who is waiting patiently at the main gate. It seems that the boy is getting impatient and worried as he tap his left foot on the pavement and bite his lip a little bit. Dark negative imaginary aura could be seen emanating from him. A cat nearby cower in fear and the dog whimper as they pass the boy.
" Where in the hell is that idiot? Its already nine. Don't tell me he got sick. " Sasuke talked to himself while giving a quick glance towards the classroom window where he could feel the intense stare that sent chill down his spine.
" Do you see that? Sasuke look at me just now." could be heard screamed by one of the girls and quickly Sasuke averted his gaze.
As Sasuke started to close his eyes once again, he hear the sound of footstep running towards him. The sound stopped right in front of him.
" Sasuke! I am so sorry." gasped Naruto while trying to catch his breath back from all the running.
" Uzumaki Naruto, do you realize that this is the fifth time you are late during the last …." whatever Sasuke going to say stopped in mid-sentence as he notice the cut at the corner of the other boy mouth.
" Naruto. How did you got this cut?" asked Sasuke while tracing the cut with his thumb.
Naruto winced in pain when suddenly Sasuke pressed the cut roughly out of the blue.
" Teme, its hurt " muttered Naruto silently while grasping Sasuke hand gently in both of his hand. Holding it so that it wouldn't wander off to the cut on his mouth again.
Sasuke let out a small sight and shrugged. There is no need to keep on asking the reason now plus there is not enough time. Class already started and he need to let Naruto go to get to his class in time before the second period started.
" Dobe, get to your class now and don't forget to stop by the Student Council room during lunch break. We need to decide on your punishment for coming late again." reprimand Sasuke absentmindedly while straightening Naruto disheveled uniform.
Naruto let out a small whimper.
Sasuke cupped Naruto face in his hand and look straight into the blond boy blue eyes. Naruto tried avoiding looking into Sasuke onyx eyes. With a little soft caress on his cheek, he surrendered. He could never win against Sasuke caring attitude. Slowly he focused his gaze into the two bottomless pool of darkness that without fail have make him succumbed to his dark desire. Unspoken words of understanding being exchanged with each other as the time keep on ticking away.
" Fine, I understand. Its my own fault for coming late. See you at lunch." Naruto murmured silently and give Sasuke his biggest grin before turning around to run to his class.
Naruto turned around and wave at Sasuke when he arrived at the main hall.
Sasuke just smile back a little bit in response to Naruto cheery attitude even though he is already late.
" Looks who have decided to join us today." Kakashi sensei sarcasm does not went unnoticed by Naruto classmates. The girls give him a menacing glare while the boys just gave him a sympathetic smile.
" Sorry. I overslept." Naruto replied shyly while scratching the back of his head. His usual goofy grin plastered on his face.
" Dude where are you going? Its lunchtime." Kiba asked Naruto who is in hurry stashing his book and thing into his desk as soon as the bell ring. Indicating lunch time and the most dreaded moment arrival.
" Do you even need to ask?" Shikamaru added nonchalantly.
A low growl escaped Naruto throat. All his friend just chuckle and give a very big slap on his back as he walked past them. Head hung low, shoulder sagged and dragging his feet slowly, Naruto walked slowly towards the Student Council Room.
