Chapter 3: Love Her or Hate Her

Black eyes opened to the sound of the loud buzz that was her alarm clock going off. She let out a loud groan as she rolled over and slammed her hand down on the clock to stop the infuriating sound coming from the speakers. 'Just lovely the first day of school.' While she was usually an earlier riser, she still did not want to get up when it came to going to a new school.

The raven rolled out of bed, dreading the day that was to come. She pulled a pair of black tight jeans from her closet along with a dark blue shirt; she figured that most would already hate her, so why bother trying to look good? Sasuke quickly got dressed and ran a brush through her hair before making her way into the kitchen for breakfast.

When the raven walked out, she saw a half-asleep Naruto sitting at the table still in his pajamas. She raised an eyebrow and smirked."Hey dobe," she said in a mocking tone.

He let out a low growl, "Don't call me that!" He was tempted to add 'bitch' at the end, but refrained seeing as Kakashi was in the room.

The silver haired man watched in amusement as the raven and blonde interacted, especially when the blonde opened his eyes more and then could hardly take them off Sasuke.

"Naruto?" Kakashi said with a smirk.

The blonde snapped out of his trance that the raven had somehow put on him without even trying to look good, "What?"

The older man walked over and whispered, "It's not nice to stare."

Naruto turned a light shade of pink as the silver haired man laughed and walked out of the room.

"What's wrong dobe?" Sasuke asked while pulling a bowl for cereal down.

"Nothing, I should go get dressed," Naruto said as he quickly ran off.

'Well that was weird,' Sasuke thought as her dark eyes watched Naruto's retreating back.

The blonde quickly walked into his room and shut the door before letting out a loud sigh. 'What the fuck is going on with me? I can't like her!' He shook it off and took a deep breath. The blonde he walked over to his closet and pulled out a pair of blue jeans and an orange shirt.

"Naruto!" he heard yelled from the other room. "It's time to go!"

Sasuke was convinced that it would be a horrible day and nothing could make it better. It wasn't just that she was going to a rival school that had convinced her that the first day would be horrible. It was also the fact that she got a text from the oh so lovely Suigetsu that morning, and once she starts the morning with hearing from someone that the word hate doesn't even describe the amount of dislike she had for, she knew it would be a bad day.

If she was coming from a school like Suna to Konoha, it wouldn't be a big deal, but she just had to come from the one school that every other school seemed to hate – though their biggest rival was Konoha. She took a deep breath as she walked in alone as Naruto quickly found his friends, which seemed to be everyone.

People stared at her as she passed through the halls toward the office to get her schedule. She hated the stares. Some people glared at her, some looked at her as if they were accusing her of a crime, and some even stared at her as if she was the hottest person that they'd ever seen.

All the schools were laid out the same so it wasn't hard for her to figure out where the office was since everyone she came with had ditched her. Kakashi had already known where he'd teach, and Iruka was there to help him, Naruto had gone there for years, and so they all just left her alone to figure it out alone.

"You must be new," a confident voice said from behind her.

The raven turned around to see a teenage boy with long brown hair, odd white eyes, pale skin, dressed in beige shorts and a white shirt. She just raised an eyebrow, "Your point?"

He just smirked, "Someone as pretty as you shouldn't be wandering the halls alone."

Naruto stood across the hall watching it all go down as he felt anger build up inside of him, though he still didn't want to believe that he could possibly like her.

Kiba let out a chuckle, "This should be interesting,"

"Why do you say that?" the blonde asked.

"Well, if she hasn't fallen for me yet, she definitely won't fall for him," Kiba grinned.

"Right," Naruto laughed as he watched the brunette's attempt.

"Look, I'm fine wandering the halls by myself, so if you don't mind, move out of my way," the raven said in an annoyed voice. He still didn't move, but instead put his hand on her shoulder, causing her to get angry. "Get your hand off me," she growled out.

"Just let me show you around," Neji said, not used to being turned down my any of the girls.

"I said remove your hand," she growled out once more.

He just laughed it off, "Just let me…ahhhhhh!"

In a matter of seconds he was on the ground as she grabbed his hand and bent it in a way it should never be bent as she said, "Don't touch me again, or it'll be worse next time."

She threw down his hand toward him and he cradled it to his chest in pain. She just walked away, towards the office, not caring about the whispers that went on about what had just happened.

Naruto stood there in shock, "I'm going to go see what that was about."

The blonde quickly ran to catch up with the raven as Kiba turned to the rest of the guys, "Any of you believe that he doesn't like her?"

They all shook their head and he said, "Me either. Think he'd be mad if I went out with her?"

"How can he if he won't admit he likes her?" Shikamaru said.

"True," the brunette grinned.

"Sasuke!" the blonde called, causing her to pause and turn toward him.

"What dobe?" she sighed.

The blonde caught up with her, "Must you call me that?"

The raven just gave an "Hn" as she continued to walk.

"Wait!" he said, causing her to turn around with an annoyed look on her face.

"What?" She asked again.

"Well, what was with that whole Neji thing? You can't just hurt people when they touch you," Naruto said.

"I told him not to touch me, he didn't listen," she shrruged.

Naruto sighed, "That's not a good enough reason!"

"Look dobe, I can get by on my own, I've taken care of myself for quite some time, leave me alone," she said, obviously annoyed. "I'm not some little girl."

"I was just trying to help," he growled out. "I wasn't the one that called you a little girl and he was just joking, trust me, he's happy you're not little."

"I don't need anyone's help," she said with a glare. "You and your little friends can stay away from me."

"Right, whatever you say," Naruto said as he rolled his eyes and walked away.

Sasuke and Naruto were very annoyed when they found they had practically the same schedule, let alone the fact that every teacher seemed to do things in alphabetical order and since Uzumaki and Uchiha were close, they always seemed to be sitting next to each other. Though Naruto didn't like sitting next to the Uchiha, he found that he also didn't like other guys sitting next to her, flirting with her. On the other hand, any other girls or guys sitting next to her, who were rude to her. The fact was being in class with Sasuke was just a nightmare to him either way.

Lunch wasn't much better for the two of them. The raven wanted to sit alone, though she wasn't actually alone all lunch. First off, Neji tried again, and failed miserably. Then a group of girls tried to bring her down and make her feel bad about herself, and ended up with new hats made out of the disgusting school lunch. The last attempt was Naruto trying to get her to go to his group so people would leave her alone, and to his surprise, she agreed. The raven was regretting going over to the table, as the brunette that was Kiba shamelessly flirted with her the entire time.

"So, what would it take for you to go out with me?" Kiba asked as he stared at the raven-haired girl with flirty smirk.

The raven just looked at him with a raised eyebrow, "A whole lot of convincing, and probably insanity on my part."

"So, you're saying it is possible?" Kiba smiled as he leaned on his elbow.

The blonde contained a laugh, as the brunette was completely serious in what he was saying. The raven just looked at him with slight disbelief, "Sure I am." It seemed everyone else at the table could sense the sarcasm, except the brunette.

"Kiba, come on, I need to talk to you," Naruto said as he pulled the brunette away from the table, leaving it to a very awkward silence.

The two boys walked out of hearing distance before Naruto said, "Dude, just give it up."

"Why? I thought you said that you don't like her," Kiba said as he crossed his arms over his chest.

"It's not that, as I said before, I don't like her, but the thing is, she doesn't like you," Naruto said with a sigh. "Even I'm not so dense as to see that."

"Yet you don't see your own feelings," Kiba mumbled.

"I don't have feelings for Sasuke!" Naruto yelled, a little louder than he wanted, considering the people around them heard them, including those at the table. Naruto mentally cursed as he saw Neji starting toward them, wearing his classic smirk.

"Let's keep it that way Uzumaki," Neji smirked as he stood in front of the other two boys.

"Oh, because by the way she rejected you, you actually think that you have a shot, Hyuuga?" Kiba snapped back.

"Stay out of this dog boy," the long-haired teen growled out.

"Make me," Kiba said with a glare.

"How about you both just calm down," Naruto suggested, but was ignored.

"Shut up Naruto," Kiba said as he held his glare towards Neji.

"He's right Uzumaki, you should just shut up and watch your friend get his ass kicked," Neji smirked.

By this point, everyone at lunch was watching to see what would happen, most hoping for and expecting a fight. Kiba and Neji had never gotten along, but throw a girl into the mix and there was bound to be some bloodshed.

"Kiba, come on he's not worth it," Naruto said as he tried to pull him away. Kiba wouldn't budge and before anyone could stop them, they were throwing punches.

Everyone started to gather around the two, though a certain raven's hand was in such a tight fist that her knuckles were turning white.

"Move aside," Sasuke said in a tone that was clearly not one to be messed with, and no matter how much some of them hated her, they moved. Everyone watched as the raven took a deep breath and motioned Naruto and Chouji toward her, "When I break them up, grab one of them." The two just nodded dumbly and watched as the raven turned to them. She walked over to the two, whom were by then on the ground, rolling around while throwing punches. The raven grabbed the dog lover by the back of the neck, sending extreme pain, and pushed him over to the blonde as she grabbed the long haired one and pulled him but pushing him over to Chouji.

In a calm voice the raven said, "There's nothing to see here, just go away."

The crowd let out a disappointed groan and dispersed as Sasuke just glared at the two boys being held back from hitting each other before walking away. She was obviously mad at the two. Chouji just let the long haired teen go, in which made him fall to the ground, causing the other three to laugh. "That wasn't funny," Neji growled out.

"Just go away, you've caused enough damage for the both of us," Kiba said with a glare as he thought about the look of anger on Sasuke's face.

"It's not my fault that you don't know when to shut up," Neji snapped back.

"Come on, before she has to break you two apart again," Naruto said as he pulled Kiba back to their table, where Shikamaru and Sasuke were sitting.

A pair of green eyes watched as the boys seemed to all fall for the raven. The owner smirked, she would find a way to bring down the raven by the end of the day, it was time for her to step in and show her claws. No girl would take the queen bee spot from her, she was the most wanted girl, and no one would change that.
