Sasuke's POV:

Riiiiiiiiiing!

Riiiiiiiiiiing!

Riiiiii-

"Hn,"

"Ya know Teme, people usually answer the phone with a simple 'Hello', but since this is you we're talking about, I'm going to let it slide. Good thing I'm your brother and I know how to speak the infamous 'Sasuke language', ttebyao!" Uzumaki Naruto, his loud-mouthed best friend and brother, said. "Where are ya?! Don't tell me you forgot that this is our first day in Konoha University! Do you have everything you need? Laptop? Notebooks? Ballpen? Fresh pair of underwear?! Do you have ramen with you?! Do you-"

"I swear, one more word coming out of your mouth, Dobe, I will not hesitate to kill you when I see you later," Sasuke intervened. "I'm here at my apartment, eating breakfast. Yes, I have everything I need for the first day. You always restock your ramen supply here at my place, so why bother asking that? And why the fucking hell would I need extra underwear? Don't you mean you need it?" Sasuke asked.

Today is their official first day of classes in Konoha University, since yesterday was just an orientation. Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto, graduates of Sound Academy, chose Konoha University as their first and only choice when they were asked on where they were planning to attend college. Aside from being the "best university out there," wanting to get away from the place where they grew up in and start a new chapter in their life was the main reason on why they chose the said university. Naruto, on the other hand, have another reason in his mind.

Both of them are orphans. At age 3, Sasuke and Naruto's parents died in a plane crash. They grew up at the same orphanage and were practically inseparable. At age 5, they were both adopted by Hiruzen Sarutobi, who got lonely after seeing his sons get married and away fom his care. Hiruzen took care of them as if they were his grandchildren and treasured them with everything he had. He made sure that they were well-fed, educated, and loved. Sasuke and Naruto loved him like a father and grandfather, so it was no surprise that they were crying their hearts out when the kind man died of old age. Hiruzen Sarutobi left the boys at the age of 16. 11 years of a life full of happiness and warmth will remain in their hearts, but that did not prevent the changes that occurred. Sasuke lost the ability to smile naturally, closing off his heart to anyone except his adopted brother, and became silent, too silent, only answering when asked. The only person who can ever get him to talk normally would be Naruto. Naruto, on the other hand, became serious, his fun side only being let out by his brother. The loss of the only father-figure in their life took a huge toll on them, so it was no suprise they became like this.

2 years later, Naruto regained his sunny attitude. Sasuke thinks it all has to do with Hyuga Hinata, Naruto's girlfriend, and for that he was thankful. He never did like seeing his brother being all serious. Sasuke, however, remained the same. Naruto wished that there was something he could do to bring back the Sasuke that he used to know. The Sasuke that knows how to smile. That was one of Naruto's reason as to why they chose a university outside of the place they grew up in.

"That was one time only, Teme! That won't happen again, I tell ya! I won't be nervous enough to actually piss off in front of the class again!" Naruto shouted, ignoring the looks of the people he passed by as he walked towards Sasuke's apartment. His place is only a few blocks away. Naruto and Sasuke used to live together under one roof, but ever since Naruto and Hinata got together since there last year of high school, Sasuke finds it too awkward to hang around them whenever Hinata comes over. It's not that he likes Hinata, he actually loves her like a sister he never had. It's just that he feels like a third wheel whenever Hinata stays over. So, when they began to apply for the university, Sasuke also made it his mission to find an apartment nearby. So, currently the one he used live in with Naruto is being used by Naruto and Hinata.

"Are you coming over here again?" Sasuke asked. He heard a few mumbles from Naruto before he responded.

"Yeah! SO BETTER PREPARE MY RAMEN, BASTARD! Oh yeah, Hinata says hi! Old man Hiashi wanted to see her first, so she went back to her house, so it'll just be me this time!" Naruto exclaimed, grinning at the thought of his girlfriend, but was also saddened at the thought that they won't be together on the way to the university. Naruto and Hinata are frequent visitors of Sasuke ever since he had his own apartment. Sasuke sighed, going back to the kitchen to boil some water for the ramen.

"Hn. Just use the key once you get here. I'll be in my room cleaning up a bit before we go," Sasuke said before he hang up, not giving Naruto a chance to reply. Sasuke went back to his room and fixed the said mess. In the midst of his cleaning, he heard his door open, followed by a loud "RAAAAAAAAAMEEEEEEEEEEEEEN!" and Naruto's loud slurping sounds as he ate his food. Once he was done cleaning, he went to the bathroom to get ready to leave.

Once he was done, he went back to the kitchen to see Naruto stroking his full stomach, his face clearly showing his happiness at eating his favorite food. "Clean up your mess and let's go, Dobe," Sasuke said, watching Naruto grab his empty ramen cups and throwing them in the trash can.

"Yosh! Let's go, Teme!" Naruto exclaimed, clearly excited to start the day. Sasuke grabbed his car keys and went out the door, locking it.

Sasuke and Naruto entered the gates of the university and looked around as they walked. They can see students, old and new, flooding the building. Some of them running towards their designated rooms, some of them relaxing underneath the shades of the trees. The ambiance that the university was giving off was relaxing, yet at the same time it gives off an aura of pure knowledge. Naruto grinned. Maybe this year won't be bad at all, he thought. They headed off towards the locker rooms to drop off some of their stuff that they don't need for the time being.

"What's our first class, Teme?" Naruto asked, opening his bag and taking everything out and putting them haphazardly inside the locker, searching for his timetable to check his schedule again. Sasuke opened his locker and, unlike Naruto, neatly put his stuff inside before answering him.

"Natural Science. At least fix your stuff, Dobe. Do you need Hinata to fix everything for you?" Sasuke asked, eyeing Naruto's locker with distaste.

Naruto stuck out his tongue at Sasuke. "No! I'm just not a neat freak like you are, bastard! And besides, this is already clean for me," Naruto laughed. Sasuke shook his head, giving up on actually trying to make Naruto clean his stuff. "Come on let's go already! I don't want to be late for our first day," he started walking backwards towards their room.

Sasuke looked at him for a moment, closing his eyes, before saying, "Stop walking backwards, idiot. You're going to—" he heard a shriek and Naruto's butt falling on the ground, "—hurt somebody."

Sasuke turned towards the person who bumped into Naruto. His first thought was 'This girl reminds me of that cartoon Naruto used to watch when we were kids'. He saw a girl,probably the same age as they are, with twin buns on her head, wearing a short-sleeved, pink turtle neck and leggings. He saw Naruto turn around to look at the girl also, hurriedly standing up and lending a helping hand towards the girl.

"Sorry! I didn't mean that," Naruto apologized. The girl took the offered hand and smiled at Naruto, accepting his apology. She opened her mouth to say something when she heard someone talk behind her.

"Tenten! Are you alright?" the three of them turned towards a boy of their age hurrying towards them. Sasuke heard Naruto gasped and point at the boy.

"AH! NEJI! WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!" he exclaimed. The boy, Neji as Naruto called him, turned towards Naruto and said, "Naruto. I didn't expect to see you here. I'm here to study, idiot, what else? Oh Uchiha, nice to see you," he added, turning towards the Uchiha, greeting him. Sasuke nodded at him in return.

"I'm fine, Neji. Naruto just bumped into me, that's all," Tenten said, giving Neji a smile to assure him that he's alright. "So, you know who they are?" she asked, gesturing towards the two boys.

Neji introduced them to her. "The black haired one is Uchiha Sasuke, and blonde idiot who bumped into you is Uzumaki Naruto. He's Hinata's…friend," he refused to say the word boyfriend. He is overprotective towards his cousin, Hinata. "This is Arisa Tenten, my –"

"AH! YOU'RE NEJI'S GIRLFRIEND! Nice to FINALLY meet you! Neji keeps talking about you. I always ask him to let me see you, but he doesn't want to. I really don't know why—" Naruto interrupted Neji. Neji cleared his throat, cutting off Naruto's sentence, a blush forming on his cheeks. Tenten smiled again towards Neji.

"Nice to meet you guys. Were you on your way to your first class? Is it Nat Sci, too?" she asked. Sasuke nodded his head before heading off again towards the direction of the room. The others followed after him. The walk towards the room was silent. Once reaching the room, they all went to their seats. Sasuke sat next to the window. He saw that the seat next to him was occupied. He hang up his bag, before staring out at the window. He stayed like that for the next 5 minutes, before hearing footsteps coming towards him. He turned to look at the person and almost gapped.

The person seating next to him has a very unique look on her. She has waist-length pink hair held back by a hairband, the color reminding Sasuke of the cherry blossom tree planted at the backyard of his apartment building. Her eyes are the color of emerald stones, bright and full of knowledge and wisdom. She was wearing a white shirt and skinny jeans. As she sat down on her seat, she turned towards Sasuke. She smiled at him for a moment before opening her mouth, "Hello. Nice to meet you," she held her hand out to Sasuke. Sasuke looked at it for a moment before returning the favor, shaking her hand. She smiled at Sasuke once again, supposed about to speak, when they heard the door open, before turning towards the front when they heard the professor come in.

As much as Sasuke wants to focus on what the professor was saying, he couldn't. He found that he couldn't shake off the feeling of the girl's smile.

It reminded Sasuke of the days he when he could smile just as freely as the girl did. As he was thinking this, he didn't notice the small smile beginning to form on his face.
