Disclaimer: I Do Not Own Naruto... Sadly...

Hello~! I want to say a quick thanks to my reviewers. Thank you so much! There were a few comments that I should make clear...

All the stuttering in the letters is because in real life I jot down everything I'm thinking. I always liked that because you got to see more emotion. So... I'm sorry for people who didn't like that...

Now the whole sap thing... I can't really describe the word sap... so I looked it up in the dictionary. It said "stupid person", and if that's what you meant then yes Naru is a sap because he is an idiot. However!... However, I did also find "Weakling" under it. And, if that's what you meant... then yeah because he is thinking about his mother that died... he becomes a sap when he thinks about it. It should change throughout the story. :D and if it doesn't (shrugs) Oh well! Can't make everyone happy! ^^

Sorry For Grammar Mistakes... I do them a lot. -_- But! Nobody is perfect!

Chapter Two: School


Naruto was just about one minute away from ripping his hair out in frustration because of many things. Some examples are school, the prick, and the bastard.

How the fuck was he suppose to find that bastard when a lot of people in this damn school had black hair and black eyes! This was insane. He was totally going to complain to the bastard and give him a piece of Naruto Uzumaki's mind! What Naruto needed to do was simple; get through the first day of school. Easy enough, right? Not when you're Naruto of course.

For first period, he just happened to be sitting next to the biggest prick. Yes, the same one from freakin' Wal-Mart is sitting next to him, thanks to a little seating chart that was posted on the board. Mr. Namiashi, didn't show up for the whole period. Naruto didn't like that. He had to deal with Sasuke Uchiha staring at him. Yes, he finally learned the prick's name thanks to the seating chart.

However, Naruto faced a new- and dare he say it- bigger problem. It can be described as one word, Civics. Not only was Sasuke Uchiha in his second period class, but anything dealing with history and the law wasn't, and never will be, on good terms with Naruto. Ms. Yuhi wasn't making it any easier either. Tests equaled fifty percent of their grade, signaling to Naruto that he was going to fail. Just one more bad event to add to Naruto's never ending list of bad events. He's definitely going to need to study for this class. It's a good thing that Sasuke sits as far away as possible from him. Now, Naruto won't have Sasuke there to distract him. Thank god.

Which brings us to where Naruto is now: Third period.

Naruto walked into his class and smiled. He didn't see Sasuke anywhere.

"We meet once again idiot," A familiar voice said causing Naruto to cringe. "It's a pleasure."

Naruto turned around to come face to... chest with Sasuke. Naruto silently cursed himself for being short and looked up at Sasuke. "Really?" Naruto asked sarcastically. "It doesn't feel like pleasure. It's quite the opposite actually."

Sasuke smirked and Naruto felt something stir within him. "Hn."

Naruto glared at Sasuke. "What? Did the perfect Sasuke leave Chemistry for senior year too?"

Sasuke chuckled and almost smiled at his idiot. "I took it sophomore year. I'm a teacher's aid this year."

Oh no. Naruto knew this had to be worse than Sasuke being in the actual class. "Teacher's aid?"

Sasuke nodded. "I grade papers, watch people fail, and help out any idiots like you who don't know the difference between covalent and ionic bonds."

Naruto stared at Sasuke dumbfound. "What is covalent and ionic bonds?"

Sasuke smirked at Naruto's question. "My point exactly."

"You-!"

"Please, everyone take a seat anywhere you like," the teacher said as he walked in, interrupting Naruto.

Naruto glared once more at Sasuke then took a seat next to a girl with long, purple hair and silver, almost white, eyes.

The teacher had a scar that ran across the bridge of his nose. Naruto wondered where he got it from. Said teacher smiled at the class. "Welcome students to a new and, hopefully, wonderful year of school." The whole class groaned as he said this, but he ignored it. "I am Mr. Umino, but please call me Iruka. Mr. Umino makes me sound old. I'm only in my twenties." Iruka then pointed towards Sasuke, who was sitting behind the teachers desk. "This is Sasuke. He's my assistant for this period. If you have any questions you can ask him or me unless I'm busy."

"Which is almost always," Sasuke stated.

"Look at the person next to you. Congratulations, that will be your partner from now on unless a seating chart is needed. I'll give you five minutes to talk with your partner while I get the papers ready to be passed out."

Naruto turned and looked at the girl sitting next to him. "Hi," he said while giving a small smile. "I have to be honest, I'm not that good at chemistry."

The purple haired girl smiled and blushed, "I-Its okay. I-I'm good at c-chemistry."

Naruto let out a sigh of relief. "Thank god. I was starting to think that there was no hope for me. I'm Naruto."

"H-Hinata," she stuttered. "I-I noticed y-you were talking t-to Sasuke."

Naruto glanced at Sasuke to see him talking to Iruka. "Yeah. Do you know him?" He asked while looking back at her.

"H-he's the most p-popular guy. He n-never really talks t-to anyone, u-unless it's K-Kakashi or I-Iruka."

Naruto was astounded. "Really?" he asked, disbelief in his voice. "He can't seem to shut his mouth." Hinata shrugged and something clicked in Naruto's head. "Hey, Hinata. Do you have a yearbook?"

"T-the one from l-last year?" She asked and Naruto nodded confirming it. "Y-yeah..."

Naruto bit his bottom lip. "Do you think I can borrow it?" Hinata tilted her head obviously confused. "I'm trying to find somebody and it'll take longer without a yearbook."

Hinata nodded and smiled. "O-okay. I-I'll bring it t-tomorrow."

Naruto smiled. "Thank y-" Naruto jumped up as a paper was slapped on the desk. He looked at Sasuke. Sasuke didn't smirk, give a insult, or a witty comment. He kept a straight face. "What's this?" Naruto asked.

Sasuke's eyes flicked from Naruto to Hinata then back at Naruto. "Get this signed by your parent or guardian." With that said he left.

Naruto watched Sasuke as he said the same thing to the other students. Naruto was slightly amazed and somewhat concerned. He was expecting a comment like, "You see this dotted line. That's where your parent needs to sign," or "What do you think this is? It's paper, idiot."

For the rest of the period Sasuke didn't even glance at Naruto and for some reason it bugged Naruto. He didn't know why, but he just shrugged it off and stayed quiet until it was time for the next class.

Since Naruto has first lunch, that's where he's headed. After getting lost a couple of times, even though the school only has one floor, he finally found the cafeteria. One thing stood out the most to Naruto and that was the walls. They were gray with a thick border line of blue. Naruto knew those colors were the school's colors, but he has never seen a school who would actually paint the walls of the cafeteria their school colors. What's the point? We are only here for what, thirty minutes? It seemed pointless to him.

Naruto sat at an empty table. He didn't really know anyone to sit next to and he didn't feel like eating lunch and he didn't plan to. Eating school lunch is like eating dirt, it's disgusting. Naruto would rather wait until he gets home to eat.

Naruto sat there for twenty five minutes just watching the other students interact with each other. Naruto was starting to think that sitting alone was not the best way to get friends. In fact, it attracted a certain prick we all know.

"Sitting alone at lunch?" Sasuke asked while sitting down in front of Naruto. "You should just carry a sign that says 'loner' on it."

Naruto glared, once again, at Sasuke for the billionth time today. "I would, but that sign seems to be taken," he said. "Can you let me borrow it?"

"That must have been the smartest comment you've made all day."

Naruto couldn't help but roll his azure eyes. "Just when I thought you would leave me alone, you come back to haunt me."

"It's always a pleasure."

Naruto let out a sigh of frustration, grabbed his things, and walked out of the cafeteria with Sasuke trailing behind him.

Naruto could sense that Sasuke was smirking as he spoke, "Did I say something wrong?"

"Leav-!" Naruto felt himself fly forward, tripping on something. Just as he thought he was about to hit the ground, Naruto felt a pair of strong arms around his waist.

Sasuke held in his laughter, which was very hard considering what he just saw. "That was priceless."

Naruto roughly pushed Sasuke away from him. "Oh, shut up!" he yelled as the bell rang. Naruto quickly walked to his fourth period leaving Sasuke behind. His fourth period had the same type of desks as his Chemistry except it wasn't made out of metal, it was made out of wood. Naruto quickly sat down, thanking to god that he finally got rid of Sasuke.

"Do you think you can get rid of me that easily?" Sasuke asked as if he could read Naruto's thoughts.

"Oh no," Naruto groaned as he turned to see Sasuke sitting next to him. "You've got to be kidding me. I have you for Pre-Calculus, Civics, Chemistry, and Film Literature! How is that possible!"

Sasuke shrugged. "Like a certain someone says, it's fate."

"Fate?" Naruto laughed. "God really loves punishing me."

"I don't know about that," Sasuke said. "Who do you have for your next periods?"

Naruto prayed he wouldn't have Sasuke. "I have Might then Hatake."

This time Sasuke couldn't hold it in, he let out a little chuckle. "I don't have you-"

"Thank god!"

"But, you have Gai and Kakashi. It's safe to say, god is punishing you."

"Well, they can't be worse than you," Naruto said smiling.

Sasuke showed his famous smirk. "Wanna bet?"

"Class!" Mr. Sarutobi yelled, silencing the classroom.

Mr. Sarutobi was pretty cool. He gave them a list of movies that they're going to watch and books that they are going to read. The only thing Naruto hated was that they have to write essays and answer questions about the books and movies. He also hated sitting next to Sasuke. He also loathed to say that Sasuke was right. Gai was a nut case. All the youth this and youth that, not to mention his little mini-me, Lee, drove Naruto crazy. Kakashi, though, Naruto didn't understand why he was bad. Compared to Gai, Kakashi was heaven. All he did was read his book and let us do whatever we wanted. Which Naruto found pretty damn awesome.

"This is going to be a long and unforgettable year," Naruto said as he walked into his father's class room. His father taught forensics.

"Was school really that bad?" Minato asked his son as he packed his things.

"You have no idea. Sasuke-"

"Sasuke Uchiha?"

Naruto looked at his father with wide eyes. "You know him?"

Minato grabbed his suitcase and his keys. "Yeah. He's in my fifth period. He's a really smart kid. He knew all the answers to the questions I was asking today. I'm glad I at least have one student who actually knows this stuff."

Great, Naruto thought grimly. My father already likes him. Who am I suppose to talk to about Sasuke?

One name popped up into Naruto's mind causing him to smile. I'll be getting his letter tomorrow. Just one more day...


Dear Naruto,

Your father loves you. He wants you to be happy. When you're ready, tell him. Naruto, your looks mean nothing to me. I like you because you're amusing, admirable, dependable, and you make me feel important. I haven't felt that way in a long time.

...

Now, tell me about this prick.

Yours Truly, Bastard.
