A/N- Late update! I'm very sorry!

Chapter 3

My alarm clock went off at seven, blaring the song Hot 'N Cold by Katy Perry on the radio. I slammed on the snooze and groggily walked to the small bathroom. I washed my face and attempted to brush the blonde disaster that was my hair. After about three minutes I placed the brush down in defeat. I could never win a battle with my hair.

"I should just shave it off." I thought out loud.

I dressed in my usual orange attire and grabbed a cup of instant ramen for breakfast. After chowing down it was time for me to set out for another crazy day at school. Hopefully what had happened between Sasuke and me the day before was just a fluke, and we could both get on with our lives. Yet, some part of me wanted a relationship to develope. I was so very confused...

I walked to school and unwillingly entered the building. It was a good thing Sasuke and I had barely any classes together. Maybe I'd be able to actually concentrate in Iruka's class. I doubted it.

The walk from my locker to homeroom was a total disaster. In my attempt to avoid Sasuke, I somehow managed to walk into some mean bully kid: Kankuro.

"Hey watch it punk!" He yelled as he pushed me into a locker.

"Great! The perfect way to start my day." I thought sarcastically.

I looked him in the eyes. Not my smartest decision

"You got a problem with me?" He demanded, jabbing me in the chest with his finger.

I shook my head.

"I think you do! You think so Aburame?" He looked at his "sidekick"; a bug obsessed, sunglasses wearing, quiet guy who always agrees with Kankuro. He nodded.

"You heard him. He thinks you have a problem with me." Kankuro said.

"Um. He didn't actually say anythi..." I was cut off by a fist in my face. I shouldn't have opened my mouth.

He pushed me to the floor and kicked my side. I knew there wasn't any point in fighting back. It would just get me into trouble in the long run.

"You're so boring Uzumaki." Kankuro complained. "Come on. Show some backbone."

His foot was crushing my hand and I swore I heard a cracking sound. Pain shot through me like a caffeene buzz and I winced.

"Pathetic." He left me then but not without stomping on my already swelling hand.

I sat there in pain for about five minutes. I didn't even notice when a low gasp came from two feet away from.

"Naruto,are you okay?" A familiar voice asked worriedly.

Great! The last thing I wanted was him finding me like this!

"I'm fine. Just leave me alone Sasuke."

"No! I'm taking you to the nurse." And with that he grabbed by good hand and pulled to the office.

His skin was smooth and perfect and warm. I loved the feeling of his hand intertwined with mine.

He swung the large door opened and announced his arrival to the world.

"Oh. Hello Sasuke Uchiha." Miss Tsunade's voice came from the seat behind the computer. "Why are you here?" She obviously didn't notice me standing behind Sasuke.

"Well. I'm bringing a friend to the nurse 'cuz he got hurt." Sasuke explained.

"You're such a good person." She replied.

I rolled my eyes.

"Well. is in right now so go on."

"Thank you ma'am." Sasuke said, grabbing my hand and quickly pulling me into the nurse's office.

, who was twenty three but didn't look a day over seventeen, looked at us as we entered.

"How can I help you...Oh my god." He came over to me and looked at my face. "Looks like you got hit with a baseball or somethin' "

"Yeah. I did just that. " I lied. How would I eplain my hand? "Um...my hand is in worse shape..." I help up by very black and blue and very swollen hand.

"Ooh. Not good." He said. "I'll get some ice."

"Already got it!" Sasuke announced handing me the ice.

"Uh. Thanks." I muttered. What was with him? He wasn't acting like his usual cool self.

"Good. You may have broken it. I'll have to call one of your parents to take you to the emergency room." said.

Parents? Oh shit! I didn't have any. No one knew that and I wanted it to stay that way so I wouldn't have to go to an orphanage.

"No!" I said a little too quickly. "I mean, they both work in a different state so they wouldn't make it back before school ends..." I looked at the ground. I was a terrible liar.

"Well, we still have to call them." He said.

"I don't know their numbers." I mumbled. I could see Sasuke staring at me confused.

"I'll look it up on the computer."

"It's not recorded."

"It should be." said, pushing up his round glasses.

"I'll take him." Sasuke offered. "You can call my brother and tell him I won't be in any classes today."

"All right. But you're responsible for all your missed school work." agreed.

"I understand. We'll go now so we can get that hand looked at."

And somehow I ended up in sitting next to Sasuke in his amazing black porsche, staring at his marvelous perfection.
