It's Complicated

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or Naruto Shippuden but if I did Naruto and Sasuke would make smush, smush.

Chapter 3: First Day

Naruto awoke feeling unrested. He blinked his eyes sleepily as the memories of last night flooded back into his mind.

'Damn.' He thought. He hated breaking down, especially in front of Jiriaya. It wasn't a matter of showing weakness but rather worrying the perv more than what was needed. Jiriaya gave up so much for the boy and now passes the time by being an erotic novel writer.

Naruto stretched his arms and flinched when he brushed his hand against something warm. Naruto let his cerulean orbs fall onto the sleeping face of Jiriaya. It was a funny sight and Naruto couldn't help but laugh. Jiriaya's snowy hair covered half his face and was drenched with his drool. He snuggled Naruto's pillow and looked...wait...is he dry-humping it?...Ew...just ew. Naruto made sure to note not to use that pillow ever again. Stupid old pervs and their dirty dreams..

The alarm on his phone went off. The screen lit up and read:

Get the fuck up! Schuuuulllll! •_•

The blond angel groaned and rubbed his head. He could feel a headache coming on. He really didn't want to go but with no school there is no education and with no education there is no money, and if there is no money he can't fend for himself financially. He wanted to pay back Jiriaya for taking care of him even though the white haired man didn't have to. Jiriaya had said that he didn't want money, he just wanted Naruto to be happy. Cuz' y'kno...he doesn't have much of that... Anyway! Naruto gets to his feet and makes his way to the bathroom. They had two. One for the perv and one for the blond.

Naruto stripped himself of his sticky clothes that were drenched in sweat. He just sat them in a pile on the tiled floor. He took a moment to gaze at the unfamiliarity of this place. He hadn't even decorated his room yet and he had no clue as to how he would decorate the bathroom.

He stepped into the shower and pulled the orange curtain closed to conceal his nudity. At least the curtain was orange. He turned on the shower and sighed happily at the relief that the steaming water gave him. Tanned fingers rubbed along his body to equally distribute the water. He pulled his head back and relished in the amazing feeling of the hot water hitting his bare skin in a way that it was almost like a massage. He washed his hair with his favorite vanilla shampoo. The smell was intoxicating to the teen. He loved vanilla almost as much as he did ramen.

He turned off the water and exited the shower. He looked at where his clothes laid and cursed to himself because he forgot to bring a towel and an extra set of clothes. Oh how he hated mornings. He looked at his dirty clothes on the floor and he thought about the sleeping hermit in his bed.

'Screw it.'

He pulled on his dirty, green boxers. He didn't even dry himself. He was too lazy to do anything about the dirty clothes on the bathroom floor. He walked back to his room and rustled through a few boxes for some clothes. His style of clothing was different from most. He liked to wear mostly dark colors with a splash of neon in it. Mainly orange.

He pulled out black, leather pants along with his orange, studded belt. He wasted no time in slipping them onto his cold and wet body. The blond liked the feeling of tight clothes. In a way it made him feel more comfortable because he didn't have a bunch of extra baggage hanging about.

He then pulled out an orange tank top and slipped it on over his body. He wanted something to accessorise it so he dug a little deeper in another box. He pulled out his favorite black fish net shirt and layered that on top if his tank top. He felt pretty good about himself but then he began to think along the lines of, is he too noticeable? After his past experiences at his previous school the blond beauty discovered that he no longer liked purposely standing out as much as he used to. He thought about his current appearance and decided just to wear a black hoodie over it but he'd leave the zipper unzipped.

He slipped on his everyday Converse after putting on, of course, orange socks. He has a problem..Lol...

All in all he thought that he looked okay. He picked his phone up off the end table next to his bed and checked the time.

7:25

He still had a little bit before the bus would come. Bout fifteen minutes. Naruto decided to use his extra time to write Jiriaya a note.

Yo perv,

I'm heading out, hope you don't decide to dry hump all my pillows while you sleep. Be home later.

Naruto heard a loud honk from outside of the house which surprised him. He checked his phone and he was even more surprised that it read:

7:41

He deduced that he must of zoned out. The blond took the sticky note that he had wrote on and stuck it to the white haired hermit's forehead before grabbing his small backpack and exiting the house.

'Ehh...here we go..' He mentally whined.

The bus made a squeaky sound as the doors opened which resonated in Naruto's eardrums, making him cringe. He stepped onto the bus and he immediately heard the loud chatter turn silent. Naruto looked about the bus for an unoccupied seat but he was at a loss. There were a few with only one person but he really didn't want to sit with a stranger.

He made it to the back of the bus and he wanted to slap himself. No seats! And he really didn't want to waste anymore of the bus drivers time. He looked to the girl nearest to him. She had black hair and lavender eyes and she stared up at him with a slight blush upon her face.

"Y-you can sit h-here.." She stuttered shyly.

"Thanks." Naruto mumbled in return and took a seat next to the quiet girl.

The bus then continued to move onto it's next destination. The noise of the bus then continued once again. Natuto pulled headphones out of his hoodie pocket, where they always were. He put one in his ear and was going to put in the other but the girl he was sitting next to stuck out her hand and said,

"I'm H-hinata." She tried to speak clearly but failed.

Naruto eyed the hand coldly but changed his expression when he saw that he had frightened the young girl.

"Naruto." He said softly while taking her hand into his own in a firm shake which made the pearl eyed girl give a gentle smile. They rode the rest of the way in silence.

XxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxX

The bus eventually arrived at it's final destination and Naruto, along with the bus's many occupants, slowly made their way off the dingy, yellow vehicle. Once he was off and out of the way he stood and took in the view of his new school. It was fairly large and prestigious. He was surprised that he got in but it was at the courtesy of Jiriaya. Apparently the perv and the principle of the place, Tsunade, had a fling in the past. Jiriaya said that she lost to him in a game of Blackjack and she owed him a favor so he decided that he'd use it now to help Naruto get into a new school.

The scenery and architecture is beautiful and absolutely brilliant. Everything was clean cut and symmetrical. Cherry blossom trees framed the main walkway of the school and Naruto became captivated by it. Maybe things would be okay here?

He was brought out of his musings by the sound of the 8:00 bell that rang throughout campus. Naruto walked quickly into the building and pulled out his schedule.

First Hour: Textiles and Design w/ Hatake R24-E

Second Hour: Ancient Civilization w/ Gai R28

Third Hour: Chemistry w/ Orochimaru R8

Fourth Hour: English III w/ Iruka R31

Lunch: 11:31-12;04 Open Campus

Locker #2041

'I'll look for my locker later.'

He looked at his schedule in confusion. E? E what? Naruto scratched the back of his head nervously.

"Damn." He mumbled to himself. Blonde eyebrows came together in frustration.

"Hey Blondie, ya need help?" A gruff voice asked. Naruto looked up from his paper and into the face of a very masculine, brown haired boy. His hair was both pointed and shaggy which intrigued the blonde.

"..yeah.." Naruto mumbled out and averted his eyes from the boy in front of him. The paper he held onto was ripped from his hands and the brown haired boy took in the contents of said paper.

"Um..what's the E stand for..?" Naruto asked hesitantly in fear of coming across as stupid.

The boy in front of him mouthed an 'O' in realization.

"Are you new? I haven't seen you round' here."

"Uh..yeah."

The brown haired boy gave a toothy grin that reminded the blond of a dog.

The shaggy boy put an arm around the blonde casually. Naruto became slightly frigid from the unwanted touch but it went unnoticed by the other party.

"The name's Kiba." The other boy pointed to himself with his thumb. "And the E stands for 'elementary', which is the seperate building that's connected to the main hall. We have first and second hour together so you can just follow me if you want." Kiba offered.

"Sure." Naruto nodded.

They slowly made their way to the elementary and Kiba kept sparing glances at the blond which unnerved Naruto.

"What?.." Naruto asked. The stares were bothering him.

Kiba's eyes widened and he spluttered, "Oh! Well uh, I was admiring your style of clothing. Very punk. I like that."

Naruto blushed faintly at the compliment. He wasn't used to getting them.

"T-thanks.." The sunshine haired angel muttered softly.

Kiba ruffled Naruto's hair affectionately.

"So whatcha' name? Unless you want me to call you Blondie instead." Kiba teased.

"It's Naruto." Naruto said as he tried to fix his unruly hair.

"Nice to meetcha!"

"..mmhmm.."

XxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxX

The duo had made it to the elementary and found the designated classroom. Kiba held the door and signaled for Naruto to go inside, which he did. They were met with the sight of a grey haired man who was wearing bluejeans and a black polo and a bunch of students standing at the front of the room holding their belongings.

"Maa, maa, this is annoying..." The grey haired man, which Naruto assumed to be his sensei, said in a mellow tone.

"Ehh...Hey you." Kakashi pointed at the raven haired, handsome man that all the girls in the room were oggling. It looked like they were raping the stotic raven with their eyes. Naruto shivered.

Kakashi handed the onyx eyed boy a manila folder and explained,

"This holds the names of the students in this class. You pick where they sit. I'm gunna go to the teacher's lounge and grab a cup of coffee."

The man pushed past Naruto and left the room leaving the students to themselves. There were cries of,

"Can I sit next to you Sasuke-kun?"

The static raven ignored their cries. He just pointed to the desks that he assigned to to students in alphabetical order.

"Akamichi Chouji."

"Hyuuga Hinata."

Many names were said and still Naruto had yet to hear his own.

"Sabaku Gaara."

"Me."

"Uzumaki Naruto."

"Yamanaka Ino."

Naruto's name was spoken and he took his seat. He was in the left back corner of the room. It was next to the window which made him happy. In front of him was Sasuke, diagonal to him on the right is Gaara and to the right of him is Ino. Naruto didn't mind the raven and red head's antisocialness but hated Ino's constantly rambling mouth. He wished he could just rip her tongue out and sew her lips shut.

Besides the unstoppable chatter of the room, first hour went by pretty peacefully.

XxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxX

Naruto followed Kiba to second hour, per the dog-like boy's request. The hour went by slowly and we got a syllabus over what we'd be learning throughout the year. Romans, Egyptians, Greeks, Persians, Sensei's cries of ancient and historical youth and how it was inspiring was a little weird though..

Third hour went by agonizingly slow. Orochimaru's a frickin creeper! Haven't you seen his tongue?! It's like the dude from Kiss! Unnatural! During chemistry we got notes over scientific notation and different forms of chemistry. Yayy..

English was pretty interesting. Naruto liked Iruka Sensei very much. He had a mother hen feel about him that Naruto found cool. The thing Naruto didn't like about the class though is that they'd be studying religious books, creation stories and bibles as pieces of literature. Naruto wasn't religious by any means. In fact, he was Atheist. He didn't like the concept of religion and found it unnecessary to worship an entity that you can't even prove exists.

As for lunch, Naruto just read a book in the library.

Naruto hated history class! He liked learning about history, but the way you are taught in school is boring and doesn't actually make you grasp what the book or article is talking about. Gai's weirdness doesn't exactly help...

Art was...well it was something. Anko Sensei said to do whatever. Get messy, get nasty, just make it eye catching. Naruto found art very soothing. His specialty is drawing anime. He was interested in this class as a means of learning a new art form, but Anko is sleeping and students are throwing clay around do it doesn't look like that's gonna happen. Off to the computer for anime reference...

Seventh hour was okay. Math came naturally to Naruto if it was in a equation. Add shapes into the mix and he doesn't know what the hell to do. He got a syllabus for the class and that was pretty much it.

Eighth hour was just a random class to fill up the extra thirty minutes left in the day. Some kids had chess class or guitar class but for Naruto's first quarter class he has study hall.

At the end of the day Naruto managed to snag his own seat on the bus and went home with no one to bug him.

XxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxX

I based Naruto's classes after my own personal schedule. I've taken every art class except media design, which I will be taking next semester. I've taken two years of Spanish, one of U.S Gov, Health, Driver's ED, and other basic classes high school students take.
