Naruto had always been alone. It was kind of a given. Often, people pretended not to know him, or that he even existed. They thought he was weird. I mean, come on. Who walks around with a fox for a pet and talks to it? (SasuNaru) (High school AU)

Sasuke sat at his normal table, ignoring absolutely everything everyone else was saying. He did this often. It wasn't that he didn't like other people, but he didn't like other people. He sat there, resting his chin in his palm, reading. He didn't even know what he was reading; he was just idly glancing over the pages so he'd have an excuse to ignore others.

Sakura, one of his, uh, friends, was squealing about some boy band with her frenemy Ino. Kiba was talking about the new dog his family had gotten over the weekend, or something and Shino was talking about bugs. Again. Neji was reading, except… he was actually reading. God knows what Lee was doing. Hinata occasionally made comments into Sakura and Ino's conversation.

Well, that's all Sasuke picked up on. He was about to zone out again when he heard a loud shout come from outside the cafeteria.

"Shut up! What do you know?!" the voice screamed. "Naru—" another voice tried, but was cut off again, "Shut up! Just leave me alone! Stop pretending to understand!"

Silence filled the cafeteria and even Sasuke was staring at the door. In walked one of the teachers, Iruka. Iruka-sensei was a very much liked teacher in the school, but he looked really down as he walked in. As if he had fought with his wife or something. But everyone knew he didn't have a wife or child so the students were confused.

Sasuke looked out the big window on the other side of the room and saw some blond kid with a black shirt and tight, skinny orange jeans with navy blue converse. He had a bright orange hoodie tied around his waist and so many wristbands. The boy's blond hair was messy and spikey. He couldn't see the boy's face, but he could tell he was upset. Sasuke sighed, returning his gaze to his book. Why was school so boring?

(^_^)

Lunch was over and Sasuke was walking to his second to last class with a bored expression. Kiba was walking next to him, blabbering on and on about how he wished he had the courage to ask Hinata out but he knew she liked someone else so he was kind of upset or something. There's a lot of 'or something's, huh? Shows how much he cares.

Sasuke was so close to his class, so close that he could smile about finally getting Kiba to shut the hell up, but no. That kid he saw outside earlier just had to randomly fly into him with an extreme amount of force and knock him over.

Sasuke groaned in pain and in anger as he struggled to sit up. He found the blond boy had already gotten up and was starting to run off when he was roughly grabbed and smashed into the wall by some senior with silver hair and scary red eyes.

"Runnin' away ya coward~?" he taunted. The boy growled like a fox, trying to free himself from the grasp of the older boy.

"Aw, the fox wants to run~! How cute~!" He teased again, digging his nails into the boy's shoulder.

Suddenly, another senior, a tanned boy with shoulder length brown hair and piercing green eyes grabbed the silver haired boy's shoulder and glared at him.

"Let him go, Hidan. We've got things to do." He said in a deep, threatening voice.

"But Kakuzu~~!" The silver haired boy, now known as Hidan, whined to the other boy, now known as Kakuzu.

Kakuzu glared at Hidan, tightening his grip. Hidan huffed and let go of the blond boy, angrily stomping after his, uh… friend.

The blond boy slumped down, leaning on the wall. He held his shoulder, wincing occasionally. Sasuke stared at him, wondering why he hadn't voiced up or anything. The blond boy glared at him, "What? Are you gonna beat me up too?" he spat, sounding absolutely done with everything.

"I wasn't going to do anything, idiot." Sasuke said plainly, glaring back, "If I was going to do anything, I was going to get you to apologize for ramming into me."

The boy's glare darkened as he stood up, "Like hell I'd 'pologize to someone like you, y'know!" he shouted, running off. Sasuke huffed and the late bell rang.

That bastard! How dare he make him late! Sasuke huffed again and entered the classroom. He just had to talk to that idiot Naruto again, didn't he?

(End Chapter One)

So? What'd ya think? I dunno, I enjoyed writing even just the first chapter. I should be writing chapters for Falling Stars and Truth not new stories, god, sorry.
