Naruto and Sasuke arrived at the classroom. Walking in, they each took a seat in the back. Although the teacher had noticed them, she decided not to say anything.

Noticing them, some of the others in the room went over to greet them. He learned alot about them, such as Shino and Kiba being on the football team, and asking him to join. Naturally, considering his father, he said he would think about it. He also talked with Sakura and Ino, and finding them to be a bit bitchy, made a mental note to avoid them.

Most surprisingly, was the boy Gaara. Looking over at him, he noticed him studing him. Then, Gaara nodded at him, in a respectful way, confirming his fears that Gaara suspected his abuse.

After the class was ordered to take there seats, they continued on with the lesson. Naruto was just thankful he didn't have to introduce himself.

The day continued but he was called home in 7th block (8 blocks total).

Sasuke looked over at him and said, "Is it him?"

Naruto nodded, "Probably lost another job"

"Anything I can do?", Sasuke asked. He was worried about his friend, knowing another beating was going to happen.

"No, but lets meet up tonight. Meet at the park at 7, my dad should be passed out drunk by 6"

"Alright but don't get caught. We have to talk with Itachi about the plan to adopt you"

"Ok see ya there, better leave now" Naruto resigned, picking up his bag, and left the school for home. Rounding the corner, he briefly considered hanging around for alittle bit, to see if his dad may have calmed down slightly, but decided against it.

Opening the door, he stepped inside, and immediatly regretted it. He was met with a sharp blow to the back of his head, the only thoughts going through his head were "here we go again".

Hey sorry about the crappy chapter, my computer has deleted this so many times or the site wouldn't let me post so I am putting this up for now. Writing will improve when I have a better computer and can actually spend more time writing while not worrying about losing it.
