Naruto – Hidden Leaf Academy Boarding School
Chapter One: A Simple Letter
----------
Dear Mom,
I suppose I shouldn't be surprised that I've only been gone for two weeks, and you're already worried.
School's fine; kind of a drag though. Oh, yeah, no, there aren't any uniforms, mom. We just wear whatever.

VERSE 1:
Their gonna clean up your looks
With all the lies in the books
to make a citizen out of you.
Because they sleep with a gun
and keep an eye on you son
so they can watch all the things you do.
Because the drugs never work
They're gonna give you a smirk,
Cause they got methods of keeping you clean
They gonna rip up your heads
Your aspirations to shreds
Another cog in the murder machine

Sakura was offered a chance to join a club called the Junior-Debutante, something or other, but she turned it down. Then Ino, (because of Sakura, I'm sure), turned hers down too.
Sasuke has become even more popular this year than last. Even Temari is eyeing him up when she thinks no one is watching her.
Word on campus is; Something is going on between Sakura and Sasuke, but no one knows what exactly. Their always sneaking off together and stuff… Naruto refuses to believe it, but everyone with a brain knows they're up to something.
---
CHORUS:
They said all Teenagers scare
the living shit out of me
they could care less as long as someone'll bleed
So darken your clothes
or strike a violent pose
Maybe they'll leave you alone
But not me.

Naruto continues to cause trouble. He keeps trying to out-do Sasuke; then messes up and gets in trouble. It's funny how competitive they are, and yet, they can still remain best friends. One of our teachers, Iruka-sensei, has taken a real liking to Naruto, and sticks up for him all the time. He's a young teacher - fresh out of college – so there are a lot of girls here that are attracted to him. Then again, there are a lot of girls here who are attracted to his best friend, Kakashi-sensei, as well.
Yeah. The girls here? Kinda weird.
---
VERSE 2:
The boys and girls in the clique
The awful names that they stick
Your never gonna fit in much, kid
But if your troubled and hurt
What you got under your shirt
Will make them pay for the things that they did.

Anyway, Kiba is my roommate this year. He doesn't eat as much as Choji, but he's already polished off all the candy you sent me, so please send more! Akamaru finally arrived last night, so we had to sneak that dog in at midnight. He lives in our closet now, with a bed and everything, so I keep my clothes in stacks under my bed. I got to tell you, mom, the dog is HUGE… he takes up the whole closet!
Kankuro and Gaara don't seem to like me… at all. I think their just worried about how much time I spent with their sister, Temari. It's not really my fault though. Temari randomly shows up and tows me around after her all freakin' day. Gaara just stares at me like I'm a bug he needs a bigger boot to squash; it's Kankuro who goes out of his way to make inappropriate remarks about Temari and me.

but not me
OOOOHHH YEAH!!

Rock Lee works endlessly, as always, and is usually the one starting stuff with Naruto. So, nothing new to report there.
Oh, yeah. Neji and TenTen are still on their whole "best friends" thing. It's ridiculous. One of the should just MAKE A MOVE ALREADY!
Shino is Neji's roommate this year. Yeah, we'll see how long that lasts.
Well, that's everything. Say 'hi' to dad for me.
Your Son,
Shikamaru

Shikamaru stared down at the two page letter on his desk. It became obvious to him that – in his current state of boredom – he had included too many details for his mom. He quickly crumpled the letter up and threw it in the garbage can next to his desk, before her started again…
Dear mom,
Relax, everything's fine.
My roommate is Kiba this year, so please send more candy!
Yours,
Shikamaru
P.S. I'll write more soon. I'm just REALLY busy.
Not.
---
ALL TOGETHER NOW!
