Walking to class, Naruto could feel eyes staring at him, but since Kiba, Shikamaru, and Chouji were there with him for moral support, it made Naruto feel so much better. What Naruto didn't notice was that a couple of people's eyes were full of lust and want towards Naruto. People meaning... about all of the gay population of the school. He chose to ignore them, but he couldn't ignore the white eyes of Neji Hyuuga. Naruto blushed and walked off picking up the pace. Gah… His eyes are so intense! I can feel him staring at my back.

He just wanted to get to class on time... No one would have guessed that English Literature was Naruto's favorite subject and the one class he would never skip. He loves the way the words flow in poems and sonnets. I wonder what we're doing today, Naruto thought. Neji entered the class before him. He walks in after and takes the seat furthest away from his assigned seat next to Sasuke, that so happened to be next to the Hyuuga.

"Um... Is it okay if I sit here Hyuuga-san?" Naruto asks. White eyes turned to Naruto and nodded with a slight smile making Naruto blush again. "Thank you." You look so good when you smile... Naruto thought. Le sigh...

"Good Morning, everyone!" Iruka said. He looked over the class and his eyes stopped at Naruto. He saw the announcements too, and as he continued to look at Naruto his eyes began to fill with sadness. His guardian already knew he was batting for the same team, he was just worried that Naruto would be at his breaking point. Naruto looked up at him mouthing, "Can I sit here please?" Iruka nodded understanding his decision. Naruto exhales a breath of relief.

"Okay! So, class since the announcements today didn't mention it," Iruka paused to glare at Sasuke and Sakura, "I've decided to tell you all that there will be an audition for the talent show contest that will be occurring this Friday after school." The class instantly started chattering about how great it was going to be and how they thought they were going to be in it.

Kiba taps Naruto on the shoulder. "Are you gonna try out? Because I was thinking we could get like a band together! That would be soo friggin' AWESOME!"

"I don't know Kiba."

"Awww! Please please please please..." Kiba continued pleading with him and pouting with big watery eyes.

"Just say yes, Naruto. I can't sleep with Kiba's whiny ass voice. Troublesome. Besides... we all know you're a great singer."

"Please please please..."

"HOW THE HELL DO YOU KNOW THAT?!" He yelled.

"Because when we stay over, you wake us up with you singing in the shower..." Kiba said momentarily pausing from his pleading. "Please please please..."

"Now class..." Iruka started again.

"Please please ple-"

"Mr. Inuzuka. Please SHUT UP. Now, as I was about to say, the student council president and vice president will come up to tell you the details."

Naruto looked to Kiba and whispered, "I'll think about it."

Neji and Sasuke made their way up to the front of the class room and began discussing how the auditions will be run and where to sign up. Sasuke began telling the class that the auditions would be held in the auditorium. Naruto put his head down and placed his arms around his head trying to ignore his ex-lover's voice. As soon as Sasuke stopped speaking, Neji started. Telling the students that there will be judges of student council and teachers. Naruto was entranced by his deep voice and felt himself being lulled to sleep, which is until the bell rang.

Naruto and his crew started walking to their lockers.

At the time, Sasuke and Sakura were talking heatedly in the corner.

"You said you'd keep up your end of the bargain Sasuke." Sakura angrily whispered.

"You said I had to act like your boyfriend. Not be your boyfriend." Sasuke replied coldly.

"But doesn't it make you feel better to know someone that is as conniving as you who was tired of that blonde retard's antics. Now you better make people believe I'm your girlfriend or I'll tell everyone your gay as well."

Meanwhile, Naruto was laughing at a joke Kiba said. What Naruto saw next made his jaw drop. The evil pink blob and duck butt were making out in front of his locker! How dare they?! "HAVE YOU NO KAMI-DAMNED SHAME?!" he screams with tears in his eyes. "FIVE FUCKING MONTHS SASUKE! FIVE! Did that mean nothing to you?! Was it all just a CRUEL SICK JOKE?! You know in the back of my mind I knew I shouldn't have trusted you. I'm glad I listened to that damned voice telling me that you'd break my heart! You know what else... you guys just saved me the trouble of coming out altogether. Why do it myself while I can get others to do it for me, RIGHT?!"

Everyone in the hallway stood gaping at the blonde. Sasuke just stood there like a gaping fish and for the first time he was not able to come back with a retort or a snide comment. "Got nothing to say? Good! Kiba! I'm auditioning for that damn talent show contest and show this damn hypocrite," he glares at Sasuke, "just how damn good I am and just what he is missing out on."

Naruto walked away swaying his hips, making all the students eyes bug out. Kiba rushed to catch up behind him.

"YES! We'll get together after school." He slung his arm around Naruto and pulled the blonde to him. Kiba looked back and gave Sasuke a sly grin that clearly said you've lost him and he ain't ever gonna take you back. Kiba turned back to Naruto and continued chatting on their way to lunch. Sasuke glared at the back of Kiba's head hoping to set it on fire.

Was Sasuke mad? Yes.

Was he jealous? Hell yeah.

They walked into the cafeteria and sat at their table.

"Okay so, Naruto is going to be the lead singer with piano and I'm going to be guitar. Chouji can you do the drums?" Kiba asked.

"Well..."

"I'll pay for all of your disgusting flavored potato chips for a month!" He exclaims eagerly.

"If you put it that way. I'll do it! Oh sweet Maui Onion potato chips here I come!" Chouji's eyes shine with glee.

"So... Shikamaru will you play bass?" Naruto asked and gave his trademark puppy dog eyes brimming with false tears. "Pleassse?"

"Agh... Troublesome." Naruto jumped for joy at the answer.

"How do you know he said yes?"

"Gah Kiba, you should know what a good 'troublesome' from a bad 'troublesome' by the tone of his voice."

"But it always sounds the same!"

"No, it doesn't dog boy."

"Whatever you crazy blond... Do have any idea what we are going to play for the audition?" Kiba asked the group.

"Well, I have a couple of songs I've been working on..." Naruto says red-faced, remember them saying they listen to him in the shower. I wonder what else they've heard. At that thought he reddens further. "We could audition with an acoustic song with tambourine and if we get chosen we can totally blow them away with all that we've got!" He declares excitedly.

"So I take it you're auditioning?" Neji says in Naruto's ear. Startled, he falls out of his chair only to be caught by the young man.

"Eeek! G-bus Hyuuga-san you scared me! And yes, we are." Naruto lowers his head with reddened cheeks to hide his embarrassment.

"Naruto, you don't have to call me 'Hyuuga-san', Neji is just fine." He smiled and tilted Naruto head up and said, "And it's good that you're auditioning. Wouldn't want you to give up just because you feel everyone is against you."

"T-thank you." He replied nervously. Kiba grinned at his nervous stutter.

"Would you like me to go with you to sign up?" the Hyuuga asked.

"N-no that's okay. I wouldn't want to trouble you. In fact, me and Shikamaru were just going."

"We were?" Shikamaru says lazily.

"Yes! we were!" Naruto suddenly gets a burst of energy, rips Shikamaru out of his chair, sandwich in hand, and tosses him over his shoulder and ran off, leaving the whole cafeteria stunned.

"Wow. He's like a blonde hulk." Kiba says in awe.

Yelling echoed through the halls as Naruto ran to the signup sheet. "Put me down!" Naruto dropped Shikamaru on the floor unceremoniously. "You didn't have to drop me. Great, my sandwich touched the floor."

"Five second rule!" Naruto countered.

"That's disgusting. You owe me lunch."

"Yeah, well, you told me to put you down!" Naruto hollered back. They continued their little argument until Naruto ran into someone in front of the signup sheet. Angry sea foam eyes turned facing the two.

"G-gomen. I didn't mean to run into you, Sabuku-san." Naruto says warily.

Gaara Sabuku was well known for violence and also had a criminal record. Naruto waited for the delinquent to react. Gaara looked him up and down. Naruto started to feel self conscious and crossed his arms over himself making look more vulnerable. Why is he staring at me? Where are his eyebrows?!

"Cute." Gaara replied then walked away leaving a blushing Naruto.

"Gaaah! Boys aren't CUTE!"

I know the whole show the world your awesome through song is kind of overused, but this is how it's gonna go down!

You got a problem, then it's on like DONKEY KONG! lol

Next Chapitre is the auditions!
