If you are re-reading this story I assure you that I have added new information and made it better than it was. I have grown a lot in the last 2 years and think that I can write this story better. (At least in my mind I can.) I'd love to see comments and criticisms, but if you have nothing to say don't force yourself.
So here is just a little background into this world. 1: It is all the Naruto characters, but instead of them being ninjas and having jutsus they are now Wizards who have magic. 2: Based on what type of magic they have they are sorted into 5 categories.
P-Rank: Physical Magic – Stuff like being able to change yours or someone else's physical appearance or their strength or something.
M-Rank: Mental Magic – Stuff like if they can read minds or do something with their minds.
S-Rank: Special Magic – For people who have more magic then they should but they are fairly safe.
D-Rank: Dangerous Magic – For people who have more magic then they should and they are a danger to either themselves or others.
There is also an E-Rank: Elite Magic. But it's basically college which I'm not doing at the moment. (It's pretty much the equivalent of the Anbu.)
So they have those classes, but before that they have the normal classes. Instead of them being like an hour each class the classes are only 30 minutes leaving all of after lunch for their magic class.
So that's that, and I hope you enjoy the story.
"Oh isn't he cute?" The girl who sat in front of Naruto asked her friend.
"Yeah really cute! He kinda has a bad boy vibe to him." The other girl said suppressing a giggle.
Naruto looked at the boy that they were talking about. They were freshman in High School and half way into the first semester. The boy standing at the front of the class was a new student. His name was Sasuke and he was a D-Rank. Naruto stared at the boy, wondering what it was about him that the girls liked. He had black spiky hair and black eyes. His face was handsome he supposed, but not that good looking.
What really got Naruto's attention was that the boy didn't smile. He had a somber look to his face, which was probably be why the girls thought he was a bad boy. Maybe he was just sad. Maybe he just needed a friend?
Iruka-sensei quieted down the class which was abuzz with talking about the new kid Sasuke. "That's enough. Okay Sasuke-kun, there's an open seat next to Naruto-kun. Why don't you sit there?" The girls squeed at the fact that he was going to sit so close to them.
As Sasuke walked to his seat he looked straight ahead. Not bothering with people around him. When he was about to sit down, Naruto leaned forward. "Hi, I'm Naruto." He said with the largest smile he could use. He had been told that his smile was infectious.
However Sasuke didn't smile back. He stared down at Naruto with a scowl on his face. "I don't care." He said simply as he sat down.
It was in that instant that Naruto decided that he didn't like him.
A year later much hadn't changed. They were sophomores now, the girls still fangirled all over Sasuke, and Naruto and he didn't talk much. One more thing was still the same, Sasuke still hadn't smiled.
That changed one day in class. "All right everyone, today I'm assigning you lab partners. They will be your partner for the rest of the year, and no there is no switching." Iruka said looking down at his list. The pairings were pretty fair, until he got to Naruto. "Naruto you're paired with Sasuke."
"What!?" Naruto blurted out. Sasuke didn't look too happy either.
Without looking up Iruka said, "No switching." And he continued on with the list.
Once everyone was assigned they moved about the room going to their partners. Naruto stayed in his seat. Him and Sasuke already sat next to each other. However Sasuke stood up and leaned over Naruto. "You're Naruto right? S-Rank?"
"We've sat next to each other for a year and you still don't know that!?" Naruto blurted out. He had a problem with keep what was in his head, in his head.
Sasuke didn't look amused. "Oh and I suppose you know more about me?" He asked condescendingly.
"Sure I do." Naruto said. "Your name is Sasuke Uchiha. You have an older brother named Itachi but no other family. All the girls want to get into your pants but you seem to have no interest in them. You're a D-Rank and have fire magic. You're good at Math and Science even though you pretend not to care about it. AND you never smile."
That being said Naruto leaned back with a grin. He expected Sasuke to look shocked at least but he had the same blank face as always. A few seconds of silence passed before anything was said. "Does it bother you?" Sasuke asked casually.
"What?" Naruto asked his grin gone.
Sasuke arched an eyebrow. "Does it bother you that I don't smile?"
Naruto nodded. "Everyone smiles at least once in a while. But you never seem to, no matter what happens."
With the same blank look Sasuke said. "Huh, so you've been watching me." And with that sat down.
"Wait that's not what I," Naruto started but it didn't look like Sasuke was listening. Angry Naruto stood up and pointed at Sasuke. "I will make you smile Sasuke Uchiha! Mark my words I will make you smile by the end of the year!" There was silence; everyone in the room was looking at Naruto. Some looking like he was crazy some looked shocked. "Well I will." He said to the room.
At lunch Naruto bit into his burger angrily. "I can't believe I'm partnered with Sasuke!" He ranted.
Kiba and Shikamaru sat on the bench while Naruto sat on the back of the bench. "It's not so bad." Shikamaru said eating a carrot.
Kiba joined in. "Yeah dude, lighten up."
"That's easy for you to say!" Naruto accused. "You two get to be lab partners together!"
With a dreamy smile Kiba said, "I wish Kanky was in our year. Then we could be partners."
"You're already bed partners." Shikamaru said eating another carrot. "Isn't that enough?"
Kiba looked at Shikamaru with a smirk. "Don't worry someday you'll have a special someone and then you'll understand."
"Highly doubtful," Shikamaru scoffed.
Naruto who had been deep in thought came out of it as they ended. "So how do I make Sasuke smile?" He asked his friends. "Any ideas?"
The two looked at each other then back at Naruto. "You're fighting a losing battle." They said together.
"Oh what do you guys know!?"
Apparently a lot.
