"I. Hate. My. Life." Gritting his teeth, Naruto watches at the back of the class.

The classroom 2-A was boring in his mind and nobody stood out in the past, but with recent events change that. He could clearly see one person in particular at the front of the class, right in front of the teacher desk. Like a good little student, she did not divert her attention elsewhere that wasn't the class.

Artemis feeling eyes on her since the beginning of the class, she turned around to stare at the glaring eyes of a blond moron. Raising an eyebrow in a challenging way, telling him what he would do about it, she returned to the class ahead. Paying no mind to the annoyed delinquent behind.

'Why that little!'

Since the blond entered the club, they were like dogs and cats, at each other throats all the time. Haruka the president of the club tried her best to be the intermediary between the two to no avail. These fights made the others club have complained from the noises they made every day, but Hestia paid no mid to those as she knew how 'passionate' Naruto could be and how the 'nonchalant' attitude from Artemis could agitate that fire that was Uzumaki.

The heavens bells ring true as the students pack their things and went their respective club or activities.

Naruto sighing at his fate walked toward his club, dragging his feet like it would slow him down. Looking at the door of the club, he frowned before entering. Looking around for a seat, he searches for a seat away from the doll that was Artemis. All the desks were piled up in cluttered along the edge of the room with a long table in the middle, the blond came to the conclusion that it was used as a storage room.

"NARUTO! WELCOME BACK!" Haruka gave a scream before hug-tackling the delinquent.

"Get off! You sugar-induced beast!" Naruto tried to take her off, but her grip was strong for a smaller girl like her.

"Waaagh! You don't love me!"

"Heck no! Let me go!"

With the speed of Hermes himself, Haruka teleported to the seat beside the Goddess.

"Artemis, he still doesn't warm up to us!" she bawled her eyes out.

"Why do you keep trying? It is easy to see an animal like him can't be tamed." Her words should have pissed him off, but it was her monotone voice that makes him explode.

"What was that, bitch!?"

"I'll kill you."

"Please, no fighting between members! Again!" The president whines in a desperate way to stop the very day catastrophe that was these two.

The members of the community club looked at the door in disbelief as the sound of the knocking was heard in the room.

"What should we do!?" Haruka whispers in complete shock as she witnessed the first time someone knocks on that door. Hestia did not count as she just opened the door and walk in with both her pals.

"Tell them we are not here!" The blond whispers in return, both members were motionless looking at the only way to enter this club.

The Auburn Goddess rolled her eyes and decided to open the door herself. While ignoring the clear signals of Haruka to stop, and the stupid blond glaring at her.

"Hello?"

Their surprise multiplied as the person on the other side reveals herself.

Aya Furuta was a beautiful girl with blond hair and light brown eyes, and a buxom figure that she had in common with Artemis and their teacher Hestia.

'Now that I think about it. Artemis, Aya, and teach Vest are extremely beautiful women. What's with this school?'

"Hello, how can we help you?" Her monotone tone broke him out of his thoughts to deadpanned at her.

"Yeah! So, you are the community club? The one that helps out?" her fidgety posture told everyone that she was nervous to ask for help.

Hearing the question, the president happiness came back to her, making the delinquent hiss at her radiant aura of rainbows and sunshine. Scoffing Naruto decided to distract himself while the girls talk.

"I would like to learn to make cookies, as the videos and books I read didn't help at all." Aya let a nervous laugh.

"ooooooooh! I know how to make ones!" With stars filled eyes, she let her excitement direct her movement.

'Maybe I should see how things are in district yellow or district orange?' Staring at the fan in the ceiling, he contemplates which needed his upfront attention.

"Naruto, come on! We have our first job to do!" With an exciting scream, she grabs his arm and drags him to who knows where.

Sighing Artemis made assign with her hand to follow her. "Don't mind those two, they are always like that."

"They are…Lively?"

"Huh? Lively?" the huntress turned to stare at the blonde.

"Okay, they're weird."

"That what I thought."

"Fuck off! I will not enter this hell!"

"Don't be a baby. And. Just. Get. In." She exclaims trying to push him inside the kitchen, were the 'friendly' gastronomy club let them have the kitchen for themselves, for the delinquent did not just threaten them of bodily harm and other things if they did not get the hell out of the room.

"HELL NO, IM A MAN!"

"STOP BEING MEAN AND GO IN!"

With a twitching eyebrow, Artemis decided to start the lesson with Aya.

"You ask for help to make cookies, right?" Artemis tried to 'break' the ice.

"Yeah." A nervous smile was on Aya face as her attention was on the door where both members were having their 'fight'

"Eyes here." Artemis broke her attention from them and stare at the table where a variety of ingredients were presented.

"Now as we wait for the head chef, you must know that making any type of food or dessert remember to wash your hands before any step."

"Yup, Yup."

In the doorway, a red face Haruka tried her best to push her stubborn sempai, said person looked almost bored, making no effort to move.

"Bleewgh!" Was the sound of the president falling down to the floor, for the blond stop the struggle and took a step back and let gravity take its course.

"how about I guard the door while you help doll with the cookies… I don't even know how to cook so I couldn't help in there anyway." Naruto shrugging stood there without looking back at the tear face of Haruka.

"Why didn't you say that in the first place!" With a sniff, she went to help in the baking.

"fucking weirdo." He said in a low voice.

"I heard that! Ten yen to the bad words jar." She replied.

'like hell, I'll go near a fucking jar.'

Two hours passed as Apollo chariot took its final cameo and hide in the horizon leaving behind a beautiful combination of orange and the night sky.

"This suck." Said the demotivated blonde as she looked at the burned cookies on her plate, while Artemis and Haruka plates looked the same.

"Maybe, I didn't quite remember like I used to do, tehee!" she hit her head and stick her tongue out.

"Failure." The Goddess stare in despair at her work and compared it to the heavenly cookies that Aunt Hestia or her mother could make. She came the conclusion she needed another millennium to compare to them.

"So that is where the burned smell came from," Naruto said while walking towards them. Hearing his point, the girls lower their head in shame and embarrassment. Aya did not notice when he took a cookie from her plate and took a bite of it.

'…Fuck…' His face got pale and suppressed the gag that tried to throw the carbon taste out of his mouth.

'Fuck I'll shit diamonds if I eat it.' The stare of the girls and looking right at the expecting eyes of Aya, he did not have a choice what he said.

"They're nasty, how the fuck did you make dough motherfucking carbon."

Haruka stares in horror at him and Artemis glare at him with more hate than usual, while the blonde said.

"That bad?" Now the brunette Horror face went to her and the auburn-haired Goddess stare at her in confusion and with a bit of satisfaction that she did not break from his words.

"Yeah that bad, you should be an assassin with that type of food."

Naruto looked in disbelief as Aya right away laugh at his response, being honest with himself, he expected crying and a curse here and there, not this.

"Then what grade would you give it?" When she could control her laughter, she asked.

"4 out of 10, the shape was good, the center was sweet but everything else is disgusting." He said with a nonchalant attitude, taking a page out of her female classmate.

"You're not sad, or angry?" The president of the club question in confusion.

"Yeah, I'm a bit sad. But he also helps me more by telling me the truth and now I can make it better." Aya let a pretty smile in his direction. "So, thanks for your constructive 'review'" The blond looked away as a red tint appeared on his face.

"Whatever." No used to gratitude, our delinquent took a retreating and went his merry way.

"Oh shit!" The chubby brunette exclaimed.

"Haruka!" Artemis stare at her president in disbelief.

"Aya! You, my good lad, made him blush, how did you do that?" She grabs the blonde and shakes her in her place.

"I don't know." She tried to say.

Shaking her head, The Goddess in disguise had a question nagging in her mind.

"Why did you want to learn bakery?"

"Well… there is this guy I want to declare myself, but I don't want to go empty-handed." She fidgets in her place as she looks around in embarrassment.

"How romantic." The brunette squeals with delight.

"Even though I think you're better without him, I hope everything goes right." Artemis proclaimed, in the defiance that she did not like men. She couldn't stop young maiden to stop making mistakes and hope for the better.

"Thanks! Guess my time is running, If I want to make another attempt to make this." Aya grabs her things and lets a smile appeared.

"Thanks for the time and helping me out, I hope we can know more about each other in the future." She runs away, leaving a waving Haruka behind.

Said president tries to silently walk away, but a hand on her shoulder stop her from leaving the kitchen.

"Where are you going? We have to clean this place."

"NOOOOOOO! MY WEAKNESS!"

The next day everything went normal, classes were boring, some gang tried to make themselves at home in his territory, eat lunch. But when the bells rang signifying the end of classes, that is where everything went to hell.

Naruto walking to the storage room known as his club, he noticed a crowd up ahead. Letting a scoff at people getting his way, he pushed everyone who stood in his way. Until he got in the center of the crowd where Aya was a stuttering mess in front of a pretty boy whom facial expression looks bored.

In her hands, a plastic bag with cookies was practically crushed by her grip.

"I Don't thin-k this is a place to t-alk." She whispers in a vain way to make him get the hint.

"Nah, if you want to talk we can do it here." His voice was rich and deep, sounding almost like a prince.

"Well, Eito, i-I Just want to tell something-g." The crowd attention was upon them, not helping in the confidence of the girl.

"Yeah?" His nonchalant response was virtually alike from the monotone voice of Artemis. Something that makes him angry right off the bat.

"We know- We are- I'm just wanted to tell how I feel." Naruto lifts an eyebrow as she stops stuttering and gains courage when she saw him.

"Maybe we don't know everything about each other, but the time we have together I appreciat"

"Look." Sighing the pretty boy raised his hand to stop her from continuing.

"I don't know where that love of yours came about, we are friends and I like it that way. If you don't want to continue being friends that fine by me" He shrugs his shoulder.

Naruto stares at the snickers and the giggling around him, as he did not find the humor in this scene.

"That's fine, we can be friends, if that what you like. Can you just accept my gift at least?" She tried to extend her hand to give him the bag full of cookies, but a raised hand of his and she stop herself.

"Aya stops this, you're making this so much awkward. Do you know how unconformable I am right now?" Eito ruffles his hair in a desperate way to distract himself.

The crowd secretly pointed at her, while snickering became chuckles and the giggling became low laughs. Tears appeared in her eyes but she refused to let them out.

"What happened to you? You weren't like this." Her voice told everyone that she wanted to sob but she suppressed it with her will alone.

"I met someone better, sorry." His voice said otherwise.

The sound of a bag pack resonates over the hallway, as everybody quiets down and stares at the person scowling.

"Everyone fucking scram, now." His voice thunder like an army ready for a bloodbath.

"Shit, Uzumaki!"

"The blond delinquent!?"

"The smiling devil?"

When their brains finally process who was in front of them, they left the place very quickly, leaving the frowning prince and the depressed Aya.

"Hey! What's the deal Uzumaki?"

"I got bored looking." With that said, Naruto sucker punch on his nose.

"Uzumaki-san!" Aya squeal in surprise, and in horror as Eito nose was clearly broken by that punch.

Naruto grabs her by the forearm and walks away, and as they walk Aya kept her head low all the time. Following him to the garden area of the school, Naruto sprawls on the ground without saying anything. They were quiet for the most time as they stare at the sun chariot.

"Thank you." Naruto almost took it for a sound of the wind but heard it all the same.

"Whatever, I just wanted to punch a pretty boy." Grunting he took a small notebook and a pencil from his jacket and scratch something inside of it.

"What did you do?"

"This little book is the [Punch book] and I just erased a pretty boy from my list… and if you're asking Artemis is in the first place from my punch list." He said as he saves his punch note inside his jacket.

Aya laugh while tears travel down her face, Naruto did not make a sound while she let out all her pain. Laughter stop as actual sobbing took its place, for the delinquent close his eyes and stayed vigilant for any intruder.

"Now what will I do with this?" she lifts her bag of cookies as tears did not stop. The blonde was going to throw them away in a fit of anger, but her fellow blond took it from her.

"Give me that, you crybaby." With a frown, he ate one.

"Fucking salty, but you improve at the very least." With that said, he put all the cookies in h9is mouth and chew all the way.

"Why did you eat it, if they are not good." She felt better hearing his small praise, even if that praise was behind many insults.

"Because you have courage, just for that I even help you out." Shrugging Naruto got once again comfortable on the floor.

"Huh?' With her hands, she cleans herself from any tears on her face to look at him.

"Do you think somebody would try to confess in front of anyone that is not her crush?" he let a scoff just thinking of the crowd.

"I fucking hate pussies who laugh when they aren't any better." He turns around to stare at her.

"So yeah, Good fucking job! I'd said. That takes courage and no way in hell will I let anybody badmouth that guts you have." He said.

…

…

…

"Thank you, Naruto." She smiles at him.

"Yeah, yeah. Whatever crybaby." He rolls his eyes.

"OOOOOH! How was it? Did she break down in front of everyone?" a melodic voice asked with glee.

"No, Uzumaki sucker punch before anything could happen." Eito holding his broken voice proclaimed, as a delicate hand pet his cheek with love.

"Who. Is. Uzumaki?"

"The delinquent of our school." Eito stares at the beautiful smile that appeared on his girlfriend's face.

'How…interesting….'
