(Same Warnings and Disclaimers)

Chapter 1: Enter Prince Charming

The day started as a normal day. The usual normal day that opens most stories. So there was no reason to suspect anything extraordinary would happen today, right?

Then why did Naruto feel his life was about to be thrown into a spinning black hole of chaos and confusion?

"Must be that last bowl of ramen I had for dinner." He muttered while walking to school. He knew he shouldn't have had that twenty-fourth bowl, and Iruka did warn him. Oh well, he'd never admit that his guardian was right out loud, so there was no use admitting it in his head was there?

"Hey! Uzumaki!" Naruto turned to see his best friends walking towards him, Kiba in the lead with Shikamaru and Lee not to far behind. These four had been thick as thieves since the diaper days a whole sixteen years ago.

"Hey guys. How goes life?"

"Yeah, because so much has changed since we saw you last. When was that again, Lee?"

"Fourteen hours at least! So tragic!"

"Shut up." Kiba laughed and gave Naruto a noogie. Honestly! Just because the blonde happened to be a couple inches shorter than his friends did not give them permission to give him the incredibly painful noogies that they did. Nor did it give them a right to use his head as something to lean on, a footstool, or to lift him up and use him as a human shield to get through big crowds.

But they did anyway.

"I'm gonna get you, dog-boy!"

"I'd like to see you try!"

So Naruto pushed him over and ran for it. Well, really they all ran for it because the late bell was starting to ring and they could not be late again or they would get-

"Detention. We do not tolerate tardiness or skipping classes, and if you have any criminal intentions you might as well leave right now."

"Do you treat all of your new students with such hostility or am I just special?"

The Principal sighed and glared at the boy sitting in front of him.

"We don't accept smart-ass remarks either, Sasuke."

"But obviously swearing is okay?"

"Would you like a detention on your first day?" Sasuke smirked at his newest Principal and shook his head.

This was his fourth school in a year. In a single school year he had tormented three Principals so badly they landed in the nuthouse and the fourth, well let's just say he had the same intentions for this one as well.

"Fine then. Here is your schedule, your locker number and permutation, and your student identification card." He handed Sasuke a packet as he said this and sat down in the comfy leather chair behind the huge desk. "You saw the door, right?"

Sasuke scoffed.

"Later." He made sure to slam the door extra hard on his way out. The secretary looked up and glared at him, but Sasuke stuck his tongue out at the human-shaped Hostess cupcake with glasses and continued on his way.

The papers in the envelope revealed that his locker and homeroom were on opposite sides of the school. Of course, he thought. They'd probably seen his record and were just begging for a reason to kick him out.

So, since he had at least ten minutes left before homeroom, Sasuke figured he was okay.

Then the bell rang and he realized that the clock he'd been looking at was broken.

Perfect first day, right?

But it didn't bug the Uchiha. It never did. However, he did have to skip going to his locker in order to make it to homeroom at all, so he went to the nearest stairwell and ran all the way to the sixth floor where his room was.

Luckily for him (or unluckily, depending on how you look at it) he'd met the teacher before.

Only once, but that was one to many times in his opinion.

"Oh no, what are you doing here?" Tsunade said. "I can't believe they gave me all the brats in one homeroom. I'm definitely going to complain, this is so ridiculous."

"Nice to see you too." Naruto said, coming in just a second too late with the rest of his friends.

"Whatever, I don't care where you sit. Just leave me alone."

"Yeah, yeah." The four of course grabbed all the seats in the back of the class. Sure the year was almost over, but their previous teacher was pregnant so she couldn't stay in school anymore, which landed them with Tsunade for the remainder of the year and most likely next year too.

She was pretty cool though, didn't take attendance until the very end of homeroom and didn't give a rat's ass when you showed up or left otherwise. Anyway...

Wasn't this story about Naruto's lack of a love life? So let's stir things up a bit, eh?

The door opened up again about five minutes after Naruto had come in and some kid entered.

Then, coming in right after him was a really tall kid with pimples all over his face.

After that was Sakura and Ino (who Shikamaru secretly drooled for).

And finally in walked someone Naruto had never seen before. He was a couple inches taller than Naruto (but who wasn't) and he had dark hair tied up in the back.

Naruto also noticed (discretely, of course) that the guy's build wasn't bad either.

"There is no way you got kicked out of another school! That's three in one year! Damn kid, you are good." Tsunade shouted. Sasuke rolled his eyes and went to sit down at some random seat in the front. He really didn't like this lady. Not that he liked many people at all...

"Everyone! Listen up you brats! This is Sasuke Uchiha, transfer student and shit. Make him feel welcome." Already the girls were drooling. So were some guys.

And the pet gerbil in the back had something coming out of his mouth too.

Oh, wait. That's foam. He's got rabies.

"Sasuke! Come sit with us!"

"Yeah, we can make you feel right at home."

"My home doesn't have random people staring at me for no reason what-so-ever. I like my home. It leaves me alone." He glared at the girls (Not Sakura and Ino) who were attempting to hit on him. "You should do the same."

Naruto laughed at the looks on the girl's faces. They looked so shocked, like no guy had ever denied them before in their lives. Sakura and Ino had been laughing too, but they stopped when Naruto started.

Not something that went unnoticed by the newest arrival to the class.

Whatever, thought Sasuke. He didn't have the patience to deal with stupid high school drama.

That day at lunch, the popular kids of the junior class approached Sasuke. Normally, Sasuke would have steered clear of these kids because (and he didn't deny this) with his insane looks, hanging out with these people would only lead to stupid stereotypes that he didn't need.

(His guardian, Kakashi, never failed to point out that by avoiding these people because of their own stereotypes made Sasuke just as stereotypical as the average high-school student, which the kid hated being related to. But Kakashi was not here at the moment, so Sasuke was free to think this.)

Anyway, today he listened to what they had to say because it was a very interesting proposition.

"Okay, so listen up. One of the kids in your homeroom class, Naruto Uzumaki, he's a freak. No one likes him except his freak friends." The guy who looked like the leader of the pack told him.

"So? I should care?"

"Haha, you're funny. Anyway, we figured since you're new and everything, you'd be willing to help us out a bit. See, most of us think that Naruto would be totally willing to bed anyone he meets. However, there are some doubters." He glared at one girl in the pack and turned back to Sasuke, but one of his friends cut him off.

"We're willing to pay you twenty bucks each if you can get Naruto in bed within a month. You're the new guy, you'll be able to start off with a clean slate."

"And are your slates not clean?" He glared.

"No one's slate is clean with that freak. Everyone has..." He paused like he was looking for the right word. One that would say what they did to Naruto without making it sound as bad as it really was. "...Teased him at one point or another. Why not? He's so different than us it's embarrassing."

"And why should I stoop to your level? This is ridiculous. He's never done anything to me."

"Well, he's done some really personal stuff to some of us. And don't forget, there are at least fifty people in on this bet."

"Fifty? Isn't that a lot?" The boy smirked, seemingly proud that more than half of the class's members were against some random kid.

"We know, ain't it great?" He chuckled. "Well, it is for you anyway. What's fifty times twenty? A thousand? Yeah, that's right. A thousand dollars if you can get the kid in bed by prom night."

A thousand dollars? This kid must have done something terrible. Hmm... Do I really care? NO. But then again... a thousand dollars is a lot of money...

"Alright, I'm in." They shook on it.

"Excellent. You should probably start as soon as you can. We're not entirely sure about the whole 'easy' part."

"Whatever." And Sasuke left the lunchroom.

Interesting first day. He already pissed off the Principal, hated all of his teachers and classmates, and he had a bet for a thousand dollars going with a bunch of total strangers.

Not like it was exciting...But at least it was something to do.

English class at last! Thank Ichiraku! Naruto loved English class.

Not because he was passing it or anything! Oh no, but Iruka teaches English class and it's the last period of the day.

So this was the only class that Naruto bothered to pay any attention in, meaning he sat in the front instead of the back.

He also did that because this was the only class he didn't have any of his friends in, and that meant that no one was there to distract him from the evilness that was his classmates except Iruka who always stood up front.

Because you know, that's what teachers are supposed to do.

"Good afternoon class! How were your weekends?" Naruto never bothered to answer this question since Iruka obviously knew how his weekend was.

"Mine was fantastic, Iruka! My Great Aunt Winifred died and left us a fortune!" Sakura screamed to her teacher.

Naruto had to bury his head in his arms so no one would hear him laughing. Iruka was biting his cheeks and breathing deeply so as not to hurt Sakura's feelings.

Though, no one else was being subtle about it at all.

"You are so stupid! Ha! You're happy that your aunt died?" Ino laughed at her friend.

The guffawing stopped whenever the door opened though. Everyone looked up to see who would come late to Iruka's class. After all, he was the favorite teacher of the school.

Naruto saw the guy that had come into his homeroom that morning, Sasuke. He got a better view of the guy and saw that it wasn't just his build that was...er...not bad looking, but his face and everything else were gorgeous.

"Sasuke, I presume?" Iruka said. The new arrival nodded and all the girls swooned in their seats. "Welcome aboard. How about you take the seat next to Naruto?"

"But Iruka! Naruto's germs will rub off on the sex-godness! You can't sit them next to each other!" Iruka glared at the girl that said that and looked at Naruto, who had his head down but was smiling.

Though you'd have to be the biggest asshole on the planet not to see it was fake.

"Sasuke, do you value your sex-godness \too much or can you bare sitting next to Naruto?"

Despite the exclamations of deepest protest, Sasuke sat down next to Naruto and got out his notebooks.

"I don't see anything wrong with him." All the heads shot up to look at him, fastest of them being Naruto's.

"Good. Now if you will all open to a new page in your journals, I will start this week's lecture."

Naruto normally would have followed along with every word Iruka was saying, but today there was a huge distraction.

The guy sitting next to him, obviously. Why would Sasuke stand up for him? What did he get from it? Because normally anyone that was nice to him (other than his friends or Iruka) was just out to get something from someone.

But Sasuke was a new kid. Didn't know anyone, couldn't possibly get anything out of this. At least, nothing that Naruto could think of.

Unknowingly, the blonde let out a quiet groan because he was thinking so much.

"You know, normally someone would just say thank you, but a groan works to I guess."

Naruto looked at Sasuke again.

"Wha-hu-oh! -Er..."

"Are you always this articulate?" (1)

Naruto took a deep breath and let it out with a laugh.

"No. There are times when I can hardly make a complete sentence."

"Well, I'd never be able to guess with that first impression."

Naruto chuckled under his breath.

"Thanks for that before anyway."

"No-"

"Naruto, Sasuke. No talking please." Iruka said, though his face was strict his eyes were smiling.

"Sorry."

They took notes for the rest of class and didn't talk again.

But Naruto was okay with that.

Sasuke was in the zone. He couldn't believe he'd thought it would be difficult to get a thousand dollars.

He also couldn't believe that he was talking so much to this kid. Normally the only time he wasted breath like this was to insult somebody.

But a thousand dollars is a lot of money.

And maybe this bet could be a reason for him to stay here a little longer than his other schools.

Maybe.

That's from Hercules!! Meg says it when Hercules stutters. : D

How'd you like it so far? You can review and tell me please!!
