Naruto had begun to sketch with the time he'd gotten before everyone arrived. Students began entering the room, some staring up at Naruto in curiosity. Deidera called him down, and he introduced himself. "Hi," he said, waving his hand, "I just moved from the next town over to the west- he was interrupted as a spitball was flung at him. Turning red, he asked to leave for the bathroom. He was granted permission, and the boy who did it was reprimanded. Naruto got back quickly, and sat back in his seat. Getting back to his art, he listened to the teacher as he drew. Right now, they were studying further into the color spectrum.

The bell rang, and Naruto headed to his gym class. Grabbing his gym clothes, he headed off. He found an empty locker, and put his stuff in it. Changing quickly before anyone was in, Naruto looked back to his schedule before locking up his locker. He had Maito-sensei for his gym teacher. Students began to enter the room, as Naruto was leaving. He headed to the gym to meet his new teacher. Someone grabbed his shoulder, and Naruto went into defense mode, elbowing them in the stomach and turning to run. He was shocked to see who looked to be a gym teacher on the ground in pain. "Oh god, I-I'm so sorry!" Naruto quickly apologized, helping the man up. Eyes still wide, he got a good look at the man. Tennis-shoes, and a green jumpsuit, along with a garish bowl cut. Naruto thought of that as quite an odd sight.

"Sorry to have shocked you, there boy. Maybe you should join the boxing club, ne?" he joked. "No thanks, I-I really don't like fighting." he responded. "I'm new here, and was just wondering what I should be doing?" Gai responded, "Oh, how great! A new, youthful student! Right now, we're doing track, so what we do is walk around for about three minutes before we sit in our attendance lines. After that, we'll be heading down to the track field." he finished. Naruto nodded, and began walking around the gym, not in any group with students, rather, he was walking alone. Shoved around by some passing by students, he was relieved that he would finally be able to sit down and get this all over with.

Gym went by normally, and Naruto did surprisingly well in track. With the people he had to live with, Naruto had learned to run very fast. Gym was over, and Naruto sprinted back, got changed, and walked quickly to his next class.

Naruto stopped by his locker, and grabbed his pre-calc book along with his binder, and pencils. Talking with the teacher, he then easily blended in with the class, and easily answered the questions asked of him. He headed on to social studies doing the same, talking to the teacher, not talking very much. Naruto walked to lunch, and sat at the empty end of a table. Heading to his study hall, he greeted Iruka, and sat quietly, doing his homework. Someone walked over to Naruto, asking him a couple questions on the homework, Naruto answered with ease, and continued on to his next class. He didn't need to talk to his teacher, as he was his dad. Iruka told him where to sit, and introduced him to the class. They began writing about a time in their life when something went wrong, Naruto had this one down, so many for him to chose.

He headed to biology, and introduced himself to the teacher. He sat down, and did the required work. Heading to his culinary arts class, he took to a station, and watched the instructor, doing as she did.

Day in and day out, the same routine developed. Over and over again. That is, until a couple students took a certain dis-liking to him. They teased him for his hair, being bright as it is, his bandages, his glasses, his lack of blood-relatives, teasing him for reasons that made no sense at all. Pushing him around some days. He might get off easy some days, but mostly, he lived quite the miserable life.

Months and months passed by with no friends, only Iruka. One day Iruka came home with a surprise though. It was already may, but neither had shown anyone but themselves into their home. This time, though, Naruto was surprised. It was Kakashi. He saw the man every day in his classroom, but with how the man dressed at school, he hardly recognized him. Kakashi always wore his hair down, and had an eye patch at school, but in Naruto's neighborhood, as a child, Kakashi never had an eye patch. When he came over he had his normal hair, and although his eye looked a bit odd, he had no eye patch.

"K-kakashi," Naruto paused, "is that you?" he questioned. The man responded with a simple "Yes, of course I am, Naruto. Who else would I be?" The boy responded with a, "No... I mean," he began to wipe away his makeup, glasses, and swept his hair to the side, "you were my neighbor! The one who helped me so long ago!" With this, Kakashi was shocked. From when he was younger, to now, Naruto looked so different. Not only with his glasses, longer hair, and those odd scars, but his overall facial features. The whisker like markings made Kakashi curious, but he figured he could question Iruka later. "Naruto!" the man yelled, pulling Naruto into a hug, "It's been so long!" Iruka stared awkwardly at the two, and slowly began to move away to make dinner. Naruto joined the man in the kitchen, and asked why he was over. At this, Iruka began to get a tinge redder.

"W-well... you see," he began, "uh, Kakashi was planning to come over here on a," he got far quieter, "date." Naruto couldn't hear him, "What?" he asked. "What did you say?" At this point, Kakashi jumped in, and spoke "I was planning on taking Iruka here, on a date, but he insisted that we not go out, and eat here instead." Naruto was in shock to put it simply. "Wait so you... you're..." he faded out. "Gay? That would be a yes." Iruka spurted out, finally getting up the guts to say so. "Cool. I think I'll just leave you two alone then." he said, heading back up to his room.

Finding someone like him made him happier, holding off the depression that was soon to come. He had started to seep into it, but this would hold it off for a while.

Throughout the summer, Naruto would go to the pool to do laps, gaining a great amount of strength in swimming.

After returning to school again, he had a fairly similar schedule.

Period one: Gym, Maito G.

Period two: 3D art, Deidera.

Period three biology: Uchiha, I.

Period four: Culinary arts II, Yuuhi, K.

Period five: Study A, Uchiha, I. Lunch B.

Period six: Advanced language arts, Jiraiya.

Period seven: Advanced math, calculus, Sarutobi, H.

Period eight: Advanced social studies, Yamanaka, I.

Well, this would be a long year.
