Chapter 1

Things were not supposed to be this way….I was supposed to be with Naruto! Me, not some lowlife, undeserving, filthy creature. I suppose I had better start at the beginning. Yes, that would be best.

My name is Sasuske Uchiha. I'm in love with my best friend. I know, I know. How Cliché, right? Get over it. This is my story, and I'm going to tell it. Once it's out in the open, then perhaps I can start to make things right again. Then, Naruto will be mine again.

I'll show him I'm not the bastard he saw in the beginning. This is not a self pity story, I swear. I need to get this out of my system and then I'll be able to get on with things. It all started with a simple class in our local public high school. Nothing special really. Just your typical class. Algebra 2, actually.

I was rather a hollow shell at that point in the day. Going through the motions of being a good student, really. I was in the middle of my pointless note-taking when the door slammed open and my future walked through the door, as he frequently did.. He was bright, blond, and happy. Smiling at the teacher, who was in the middle of something unimportant, he said, "sorry I'm late! I had to talk to the principal about my classes for next year." The teacher waved him to his seat and continued to write. She, was a hollow shell at this point in the day too, I suppose. He smiled at me when he sat. I greeted him with my customary greeting for most people: a grunt of acknowledgement.

"Hey Sasuke, do ya wanna come over after school today," he asked. I looked at him. He looked so hopeful, like a puppy that is looking a future owner after being days away from being put to sleep. "Sure," I said. And that answer was my fate being sealed.

Author's Note: So, any good? I know, my grammar isn't that great, but besides that….What do you think? Review? If people want, I'll continue. If not, then I'll probably leave this as it is and forget it. Let me know if it's good, or if it sounds way to similar to another story. I know there are a lot of Sasuke/Naruto stories that involve AU school stuff, and drama, but other than that….Still, if it sounds super like something else, let me know. I don't want to look as if I'm stealing work. Again, please review. J
