project partners

chapter 1: meet your partner

"class, listen while i assign partners for a project(a/n not even 10 words an already said da title...shut up!)", said the teacher smirking at the grumbles of protests coming from his students. torture was the only way he could get them back for the numerous pranks they pulled on him. really, how immature could they all be? "yamanaka ino and nara shikamaru", the teacher began smiling joyfully at the mumbles of disappointment he heard. "haruno sakura and inuzuka kiba". the rest of the female population in the class cheered under their breath, confident they would be the one to be paired with the school's most popular and best-looking guy. "hyuga neji and rock lee". as the teacher continued to call out the pairs, a boy with pale skin, black hair and eyes to match stared out of the window lazily. his face was void of emotion but still held a certain graceful beauty that was noticed by all of the girls - and a few boys - who attended konoha high. this boy was never interested with the lessons so decided to only pay attention to tests and quizzes... "uchiha sasuke..." the teacher had the raven's gaze. "and uzumaki naruto". a tanned, blond-haired boy with eyes an impossible shade of blue groaned across the room from sasuke, hair being pulled in frustration. "iruka-senseeeiii!" naruto yelled drawing out the suffix like a child would. "why'dya pair me with the ice prince?" "naruto, sit down! i choose the pairs and you could use sasuke's help", said iruka, making naruto realize he had stood up. naruto slowly sat, mumbling all of his other protests. sasuke watched as the blond "dobe", in sasuke's words, pouted until the last of the partners were assigned. the females all sighed angrily that they didn't get a chance to spend time with sasuke and glared at their teacher. "now then", iruka continued. "aburame shino and akimichi choji. and the last, hyuga hinata and segurashi tenten(a/n dat does not go with tenten...does too!)".

the project was each person to find at least one similarity between themselves and their partner then write a paper - no less than 400 words - on this thing or things similar describing how it makes you and your partner feel. The bell rang signaling it was time to go. "due in one week. don't forget. sasuke! stay after class please", iruka just as sasukeand everyone else was leaving out. he turned around and walked to the teacher's desk. "yes sensei", said sasuke in his normally calm, emotionless voice. "don't underestimate naruto. he may seem dense and clueless. he may even be at times but you have more in common with him than you believe. so, don't kill each other", iruka stated just as calm. sasuke nodded hesitantly then left the classroom. iruka simply smiled in his direction

sasuke wandered the halls of school looking for naruto. finally spotting the blond, he sauntered(a/n always liked that word)over. naruto was currently talking to one of his close friends, inuzuka kiba. "naruto", sasuke called trying to get this over with as soon as possible. naruto turned to face him and sasuke continued. "come to my house afterschool...dobe". sasuke turned to walk away but stood still when naruto retaliated. "yeah right bastard! like you tell me what to do! and don't call me a 'dobe' sasuke-teme". sasuke let out an amused 'hnn'. "whatever dobe", he said as he walked away leaving an angry naruto and a confused kiba behind.

at lunch, naruto sat at his normal table at the back of the cafeteria with the regular people. inuzuka kiba, nara shikamaru, rock lee, and akimichi choji. they were all eating their lunches, except for naruto who was babbling about sasuke. "can you believe that bastard", he said to no one in particular. "he really expects me to go to his house. ha! he might try to kill me. or worse, he'll torture then kill me. he does seem like the 'sadistic bastard' type. or he's got some prank to pull on me. like when i walk in, his giant pet bats will attack or something. that's it! i'm not going!" "you mean you were actually considering it", asked kiba. "well...it is an easy project. i thought we'd finish it in like a day. so, yeah". "good luck with that and your partner problems". "hey! what about you? sakura's your partner". "actually we've already talked. we both love dogs so all we have to do is write the paper". "and what about you guys", naruto motioned to the three other people at the table. "neji and i are in the same martial arts class so we only have to write also", exclaimed lee. "me and ino decided on the sky. writing is so troublesome(a/n shika seems so booring when he says this...)", said shikamaru. "shino decided we should write we're both alive", said choji still eating his bag of potato chips. "so you all can stand your partners. how lucky am i?" naruto mumbled while quickly eating his lunch.

sasuke, meanwhile, sat at his regular table with the regular people. yamanaka ino, aburame shino, haruno sakura, hyuga hinata, segurashi tenten(a/n wtf?), and hyuga neji. "can you believe we got paired with those outcast losers", sakura said playing with her food. ino sighed in agreement while everyone else either spaced out or listened half-heartedly. "the only lucky ones are hinata and tenten. they got paired with each other", said ino. "but sasuke-kun has it worse. naruto is his partner. you poor thing", said sakura hugging sasuke's arm. he pulled away then glanced at the table naruto sat at. 'yeah. unlucky me', sasuke thought sarcastically.
