I do not own Naruto or any of the Naruto characters. All rights go to Masashi Kishimoto. Enjoy!

It's official. Sasuke Uchiha had the biggest headache ever recorded in history. The first day of the new trimester and his head couldn't stop pounding from all the chaos. Sakura Haruno had been annoying him since first period that morning. For some reason, she thought that since he tolerated her presence, she could then jabber on pointlessly about school drama, class meetings, pep rallys, new students, and whatever else popped into her head.

I really don't give a crap about that stuff, he mused and wondered if he should say it just like that to Sakura tomorrow. He imagined her jaw dropping to the floor and then telling the teacher.

It was also unfortunate that Naruto had ended up in four out of six of his classes. I swear, he threatened, if I hear that dobe say "debattyo" one more time, he's going to end up in the middle of the East China Sea with nothing to stay afloat.

Maybe it was because he hadn't gotten enough sleep last night, but today everyone had seemed a hundred times more annoying. All the feelings were just too petty for him. Like seating arrangements in class. So what if you don't sit next to your friends or whatever. And the he said she said was the oldest thing in the book. Sasuke just couldn't wait to go home and clear out his head.

He walked up to the door and unlocked it. He dumped his back pack on the kitchen counter and got himself a glass of water.

"Sasuke?" a familiar voice called out from the den. Oh, right, he thought. He followed the sound of a Japanese soap opera.

"Hey Grandmother," he said, forcing a smile.

"How was school?" she asked.

"It was fine," he lied. "I have homework to do. I'll be down for dinner."

"Okay," she smiled. "Go and work hard."

He grabbed his backpack off the counter and proceeded up the stairs to his room. Grandmother was okay, but she was old and boring to live with. Not like he had any other choice. His other legal guardian would be his older brother. That will never happen, he though furiously. He stomped to his room, feeling the need to vent. Collapsing on the bed, he took deep breaths, clearing his mind of everything. It was completely silent…and that's the way Sasuke liked it. He had almost dozed off when he heard a faint humming down the hall. Annoyed, Sasuke sat up. Did Grandmother come upstairs? The doctor said not to tax her body like that…

He walked down the hall, closer to the sound. It sounded like music…but not like any sort of music he had ever heard before. It was weird…like in another language or something. He threw open the door. Inside, a girl with long dark brown hair was sitting on the bed, reading, with a several dozen books scattered on the bed. A suitcase was propped against a wall and the closet was open slightly, revealing clothes hung neatly by color. The laptop on the desk was showing the blue and green welcome screen on the desk. The girl looked up, flushing. When she saw him, she grabbed the small books and tossed them in her closet, shutting the door firmly. (A/N: Naruto manga books XD)

"Do I know you?" Sasuke rudely asked…he was kind of…unsure about what to do. I mean, what else do you do when there's a strange girl living in your house and you had no idea?

"Um, hi," the girl said in a high, nervous voice. "I'm an exchange student…" Her voice and gaze trailed off under his scrutiny.

"What are you doing here then?" he questioned.

"Well, uh, my dad's aunt's friend is your grandmother…and so I'm staying here because my grandaunt wants me to…and yeah," she trailed off again. Sasuke didn't buy this one bit.

"I don't believe you," he said bluntly. Her mouth dropped a little.

"What? Why?" she demanded, in a burst of confidence. He drew back a little at her hostility.

"It doesn't sound real," he stated simply. She rolled her eyes and Sasuke's eye twitched in annoyance.

"Don't YOU tell ME what's REAL, mister.(A/N: a little irony here, since he's the supposed "unreal" one) Since you haven't been here for a week, I don't expect you to know who I am anyway," she snapped. "I'm Lennie Miyahiro, the new student. You're Sasuke Uchiha, you're in my second, fifth, and sixth period class. I also happen to know that you're an arrogant jerk, so get out of my room."

Sasuke blinked, then smiled arrogantly.

"Just stay out of my way, fangirl," he smiled tauntingly, then closed the door on her blushing face.

(next morning)

"Good morning Sasuke!" Grandmother said as he shuffled into the kitchen. He grunted in reply. School was designed to torture him by waking him up early. He spotted that girl again. She blushed and excused herself, mumbling about needing to get her backpack.

Like I need another fangirl, he groaned to himself. Sakura's worth a thousand as it is. Ino…she's worth two thousand, if not more. He hoped today would not be as annoying.

"Good bye Grandmother," he yelled as he grabbed his skateboard and went out the door. The fresh air felt nice as he raced the clock to get to school on time. The rush and the adrenaline felt good.

That was ruined when he walked into the courtyard. All the guys were hanging around a tree with Naruto sitting on a bench.

"Hey Sasuke!" yelled Naruto. "I beat Lee! I beat Lee!"

Sasuke looked around.

"Beat him at what?" What kind of pointless game were they doing now?

"We raced to Tsunade-sama's office and back," he grinned smugly. Sasuke calculated that.

"How the hell did you win then?" he demanded. Naruto huffed.

"Like I couldn't win on my own-"

"You couldn't have," Sasuke said. "It's impossible."

"Who says?" he yelled.

"Because," Sasuke laughed. "The leadership room is right next door. And everyone knows Sakura is in charge of the banner for the dance."

Chouji and Kiba roared as Naruto turned dark red. Even Shikamaru opened his eyes to smile at Naruto. Even Shino looked like he was smiling, but Sasuke could never tell.

"BUT," Naruto added. "Lee got stopped in the hallway by Jiraya-sensei." So Naruto had raced, but stopped when he neared the office, letting Lee get caught running into the office, while saving himself the humiliation of Sakura seeing him running in the hall. Figures, Sasuke thought, but he's still an idiot.

"Oooh, you're such a cheat Naruto," piped in Tenten. Everyone turned. She and Neji had come over, notecards clutched in their hands.

"What are those for?" Kiba asked.

"Science," Neji said.

"Yeah," Tenten added. "Asuma is giving a pop quiz today."

"ON WHAT?" Naruto yelled. "WE JUST GOT BACK! NO WAY HE COULD—"

"Shut up dobe," Sasuke snapped, sensing a headache.

"Good luck studying," Tenten said smugly, then flounced off with Neji.

"I think they like each other," Shino commented. Kiba nodded.

"Ugh, yeah right," Sasuke rolled his eyes. "No way they like each other. They're probably just studying."

"What makes you so sure?" asked Kiba, glancing at them.

"Does it look like they're flirting?" Sasuke retorted. Everyone looked. Each was firing off questions and the other was answering just as fast, determination in their eyes.

"It looks like they're just studying," Shikamaru said, resting his head again. "Don't analyze them, it'd be too troublesome."

He's right, why am I so interested? I don't care actually, I was just trying to prove my point. Because I was right. I just know when people like each other and when they don't.

Suddenly, Kiba jumped up.

"Hey Hinata!" he called, waving. Sasuke smirked. And Kiba likes Hinata. She had been deep in coversation with Lennie Miyashiro who was smiling and nodding at whatever she had said. Hinata Hyuuga looked up and blushed at all the people looking at her. Sasuke looked away, bored. All he could do now is listen to stuttering that would definitely give him a headache or tune them out until the bell rang. He chose tuning out.

"H-hi Naruto," Hinata said. "Hi e-everyone else."

"Hey Hinata," Kiba said, waving. Sasuke smirked. Poor Kiba, he though sarcastically.

"Th-this is L-lenka," she murmured, gesturing to Lennie. Lennie grinned and nudged Hinata.

"Call me Lennie," she said, smiling at everyone. "Don't worry, I already know who you guys are…I um, Sakura showed me…the yearbook...from last year...yeah…"

"Not likely," Sasuke interrupted, quizzical. If Sakura was talking about people, it was obvious she would throw in opinions. If she threw in opinions, it would be impossible to understand her. She just jabbered on about people's histories with other people, using made up description words. A new girl could understand Sakura? Impossible. Like literally not possible. Like Naruto being stylish. "So how do you know us really, if at all?"

Lennie blushed, but was saved having to answer due to the bell ringing.

This is interesting, Sasuke thought, it's weird…and interesting…

Thanks for reading! I was really pleased on all the feedback I got, I really appreciate it!
