Welp, instead of wasting your time right before the second chapter...I'll wait until the end. (other than warnings and disclaimer)

Warning: This fiction contains boy x boy relationships. Reader discretion is advised. Also this is NaruSasu. (erm...SasUKE...) I decided to up the rating to M. I will try my best to make a lemon in future chapters! This may contain some OOC as well.

Naruto and all of it's characters belong to Masashi Kishimoto. I own nothing. This story has nothing to do with the actual story line of Naruto itself, so pay no this will have few to no spoilers.

(P.S.- Constructive criticism will be highly appreciated. Flames aren't my favorite, but hey, how can I complain to more reviews?)

~~~~Some chances are worth taking~~~~

Chapter Two- Friends

The next day was Monday. It was also the first day at Konaha High. I was about to turn off my alarm clock and tell Itachi I was sick. But then I remembered: Naruto Uzumaki. He wanted to walk me to school. Remembering that, I got up and dressed in my dark-wash skinny jeans and a D'espairsRay T-shirt. I then took a deep breath and made my way downstairs.

Itachi gave me a surprised look. "Exited to go out? It's sunny outside." Looking out the window, I responded. "I promised I'd walk to school with that weird-looking blond kid."

There was no other reply than a simple chuckle. But that chuckle told me that Itachi was glad for me. I would impress him and do well on my first day in school. It was going to be a long year (It's only late September), but I was going to do my best!

~~~~Making friends makes the world seem brighter~~~~

Both me and Itachi jumped when the doorbell rang. I didn't even think. I basically inhaled the rest of my toast and ran to the door.

"Hey!" I looked back at my brother. "Have a good day, foolish little brother." I smiled at him before opening the door, backpack on my arm, black boots on my feet.

I opened the door to see a smiling blond with pearly white teeth. The sunlight looked gorgeous on his slightly-tanned skin. Don't blush, I thought. Do. Not. Blush. "Ready to go?" I nodded, ready to begin the year with a good start.

~~~~High school is a highlight in life~~~~

The school wasn't too big. A little bigger than my last school. Maybe bigger means kinder... I looked at Naruto. "Can you show me to the office? I have my schedule, I just need my locker number and combination."

"Of course! Right this way!" I followed the hyper being to the office. "You seem to really know your way to the office," I joked. "Haha...Okay, so I do get sent there a bunch, but...Whatever!" I couldn't help but laugh.

Waiting in the office was an average-height, black-haired woman. "Hey, Shizune! This is Sasuke Uchiha, the new guy. Says he needs his locker number." She frowned at him. "I told you not to call me Shizune! You are a student, Mr. Uzumaki, you are not permitted to call teachers and staff my their first names!"

"Yeah, yeah. Just give him his locker info." As I was being handed my schedule, a blond-haired woman with...uh...big breasts walked in from the principal's office.

"Granny Tsunade! I bring you a the new student." He had to bow. I highly doubt she was royalty...but she looked pissed.

"I'M NOT THAT DAMN OLD, YOU LITTLE PRICK!"

...That wasn't expected...Wasn't she the principal? "C'mon! We gotta get outta here!" Naruto grabbed my hand and ran. Not knowing what else to do, I ran with him. We ended up in the only place that was safe from all women- The boys bathroom.

Me and Naruto looked at each other. And then we started to laugh. I had never laughed so hard since my parents were killed. It took us a while to calm down. After I could finally control myself, I looked at my locker information.

"Number 377." This dumb guy had no idea what I was talking about. I hit him up-side the head. "My locker, dobe."

"Oh yeah. That's why we were in the office..." He looked at the ground. "HEY! That's right next to my locker! What luck!" What luck indeed. I knew I was smiling. I couldn't help it. Naruto Uzumaki was a truly wonderful being.

~~~~Take chances: They can make your life better~~~~

My first class was Literature. Naruto wasn't in this class, but he still showed me the way. The teacher looked pretty weird. His hair was silver -almost white. He also wore a surgical mask over his mouth and nose. The part I noticed the most was his left eye. It was red, but his other one was black. He also had a scar down the middle.

"Uchiha, was it?" I nodded. "Go sit next to the sleeping guy. His name's Shikamaru Nara. Wake him up as well. Oh, and take this book."

He handed me my Literature book and I made my way to the third row, one seat away from the window. Clearing my throat, I took a seat. I must have scared the lazy teen, because he jumped up and looked around.

Shikamaru looked at me as if I was some sort of extra terrestrial being. "I'm Sasuke Uchiha. It's my first day here." Unexpected to me, he smiled. "Shikamaru Nara. Welcome to Konaha. We can eat lunch together, if you want."

"I would, but I already promised to eat with someone." As expected, he was surprised that I had already met someone. "Who?" He had somewhat of a I-probably-know-who-it-is kind of look.

"Naruto Uzumaki." He sighed. "Knew it. That guy is quick to make friends with people. Guess we'll be eating together anyway though."

Before I could reply, the bell rang, signaling the start of class. I could hardly concentrate, though. I was pretty proud of myself. Two friends. and first period had barely started. This would be a good year.

~~~~Lunchtime: Not only for food, but for friendship~~~~

I had three more classes before lunch: Biology (reunited with Naruto), World History (separation...), and Art (I sat next to some weird guy named Sai). Then I met Naruto at the lockers. He seemed excited.

"Pizza day!" Pizza is popular at every school...Not my favorite, but it's pretty good. He led the way to the cafeteria and we got in line. The pizza here looked much better than at Otogakure (my old school).

I followed Naruto to the table he usually sat at. I sat between him and Shikamaru. Just then is when I realized that there were a lot of people at this table. Did Naruto gather all these people together?

"Okay, so you know Shika. There's Choji Akamichi, Ino Yamanaka, Sai, Sakura Haruno, Lee, Neji Hyuga, his cousin Hinata Hyuga, Tenten, Gaara Suna, and his siblings Temari and Kankuro." I smiled at them. "I'm Sasuke Uchiha. Nice to meet you all."

"Hey," That was Ino. She was a blond-haired girl. "Are you gonna invite him to your party Friday, Naruto?"

"Oh yeah! Sasuke, do you wanna party Friday? It'll be a good chance for you to meet everyone."

I thought for a while. They did seem pretty nice. And I promised myself to make friends this year. "Sure. Why not?"

"Yes! You, my friend, will experience true high school parties with us!"

I sighed and took a bite of my pizza. Like I thought. The pizza is better here. So are the people.

~~~~Open up: friends are always there~~~~

Right after lunch I had Algebra. Fortunately, a few of my friends from lunch (Hinata, Gaara, and Shikamaru) were in this class with me. This teacher seemed a bit...strange. She seemed pretty wild.

"Hello uh..." she looked down at here desk. "Ah! Sasuke Uchiha. Welcome to Algebra class. My name is Anko Mitarashi. You will call me Anko-sensei. Here's your book. Take a seat wherever you feel comfortable." I took my book and approached Shikamaru, who was sitting by a window.

"Shikamaru! What did I tell you about the window? STAY AWAY FROM IT!" She then proceeded to throw an apple at his head.

After Algebra, I had Gym class. It seemed Naruto did too. We got in our gym clothes and stepped into the gym.

~~~People can change: never let them go~~~

You know how I said a couple of my other teachers were weird? I take it back. The Physical Education teacher was by far the weirdest. He had the bushiest eyebrows. Bushier than Lee's. He also wore a green jumpsuit.

"Today, we will train for a marathon. Use the power of youth!"

With that, everyone went to the track and started running.

Finally, the last class of the day was starting. This time I was waiting for my English teacher. Iruka Umino was his name. Like the other teachers, he handed me my book. Unlike the others, however, this class had assigned seats. He put me next to some guy with white hair.

"Psst!" I looked at the strange person next to me. He looked familiar. "Sasuke Uchiha? Remember me?" At last I remembered. It was an old classmate of mine, Suigetsu Hozuki. So this is where he transferred.

"Suigetsu?" He nodded and smiled, showing his oddly sharp teeth. "Haven't seen you since middle school, Uchiha. We can talk some other time. If I go to detention again today, I'll loose my job." And with that, he shut his mouth.

~~~Sometimes, friends can be another family~~~

Naruto walked home with me. I decided, since he was really nice, I was going to introduce him to Itachi. "You wanna come in?" I asked as we walked to my door. The only answer I got was a goofy smile. I took it as a yes.

"Itachi? You home?" A grunt was heard from the living room. Motioning for Naruto to follow me we walked into the living room. Itachi was basically dead on the couch. Must have been a tough first day at work.

"I hate that bastard." Me and Naruto gave each other a confused look. Itachi looked at us and sighed. "One of my co-workers. I know him from high school. Don't ask. How was your day?"

"It was pretty good. This is Naruto Uzumaki." My brother smiled and went to his room. I assumed he was going to sleep, so I sat on the couch. "That's Itachi. He's my brother." Naruto looked confused, probably because he didn't see my parents. He must have understood, because he said nothing before sitting next to me as I turned on the television.

Naruto left right before supper. He said his mom would kill him if he wasn't there. After I ate I did homework and took a shower.

This was going to be a good year.
