I finished getting dressed and got on my laptop to check social media.
"Hey, ya know I never got your name by the way," Naruto said curiously.
"It's Sasuke Uchiha."
"Nice. I like that name," he said as I continued browsing, "ya wanna hang out today? I don't have many friends yet and of course classes don't start for a few days." I stopped. I was baffled. I had never been asked to hangout before. Maybe I should or not. I'd probably just be a bother. Wait. Hold up. Why was I even considering it? Of course I wouldn't hang out with this annoying guy! I'd rather sit in here and read or something.
"No, I would rather not," I said firmly, acting uninterested.
"Oh come on. It'll be fun. No good will come from holding up in here all day," he said trying to convince me, "we're roommates so why not try and get along?" It annoyed me but I had a feeling he wouldn't take no for an answer. I closed my laptop and grabbed my phone and key.
I sighed, "alright."
"Yes! I knew you'd come around!" Naruto said enthusiastically. I sighed again and he led the way. Once we were at the entrance area, I quickly walked over to the counter.
"Hey! Where were you at earlier?" I exploded.
"Woah take it easy. I was helping all of the other students with their rooms," Kabuto said, putting his hands up as if trying to surrender.
"I was left outside of my room for thirty minutes because of you! I even got laughed at and what was with all the ruckus too? Why were so many people here all at once."
"Every year around this time students come to get their rooms before classes start. You came a little early to the party I'm afraid and even decided to shower right before the storm," Kabuto explained with a grin, "and what's this about being stuck out of your room?"
"I-I left my key inside…"
"Then wouldn't that be your fault?"
"I-if you were here I could have gotten an extra key." This familiar feeling of embarrassment crept upon me. I had been totally defeated with one sentence. It was my fault but accidents happen!
"I didn't know you were friends with the head of the dorm Sasuke," Naruto said abruptly.
"W-We're not," I replied trying to keep cool.
"Oh. Well you two seem very familiar with each other."
"We just met yesterday," said Kabuto, "and I'm always friends with the students that live in my dorm. What kind of headmaster wouldn't be familiar with his students?"
"True. Well I hope we'll get along too!" Naruto said, giving Kabuto a big smile.
"Me too," Kabuto said as they shook hands. How annoying? After the engagement me and Naruto made it outside.
"I just made my second friend! This place might not be that bad after all," Naruto said.
"Who was your first?" I asked curiously. Wait. Why do I care?
"Well you of course. Roommates gotta stick together, right?" he said with that signature smile. I almost tripped over my own feet.
"W-who said we were friends?" I asked, confused. When did we become friends?
"Well you're hanging out with me right now. Don't friends hang out together?"
"I-I guess so," I responded. This was a first for me. No one had ever called me their friend but I felt...happy somehow.
"Alright well have ya checked out your classes yet? I sure haven't," Naruto asked.
"No, I haven't."
"Well I have a map of the campus saved to my phone so let's go check them out." It would be beneficial to know where my classes were and to maybe even meet some of the professors.
"Alright, let's go then," I replied.
"So what are ya going here for?" Naruto asked as we walked.
"I want to go into business," I replied. My brother was an accountant and I wanted to follow in his footsteps or really just surpass him.
"I want to become a teacher. I always really looked up to teachers, ya know? Devoting their lives to help us become respectable adults."
"How admirable of you," I said with a slight chuckle.
"So ya can laugh?" Naruto asked, "but why are ya laughing? I was being serious, ya know?"
"Sorry sorry," I said while still chuckling, "I just can't imagine you as a teacher."
"Maybe not but I'll reach my goal for sure! Believe it!" Naruto replied triumphantly.
"Yeah yeah." We calmed down and continued.
By the time we were done it was already noon. I had met a few of my professors and Naruto ended up meeting all of his. I was completely worn out.
When we reached our door we were greeted with two guys hanging out in the hall.
"There's the guy I was telling you about earlier. The one who was stuck outside in a towel," one of them said. I froze and Naruto seemed to notice I was getting uncomfortable.
"Hey. Don't go around making fun of people. Accidents happen ya know. It could be you guys next," Naruto said abruptly. I turned to look at the guys, surprised to see Naruto valiantly standing up for me.
"Sorry we weren't trying to make fun," one of them said while approaching us. Naruto seemed to calm down a little.
"How about we introduce ourselves? I'm Kiba and this guy in the shades is Shino. We're in the room next to you guys."
"I'm Naruto and this is Sasuke."
"Well since we're acquainted now have you guy's eaten lunch yet?" Kiba asked.
"Now that ya mention it I'm starving," Naruto replied.
"We are neighbors so how about we all go and eat. We're meeting our friends at a fast food place close by."
"Sounds fun. I'm in," Naruto said.
"I-I'll stay here. I'm tired and not really hungry anyway," I said trying to avoid the situation. Hanging out with a large group wouldn't be a good idea. Especially for me.
"Are ya sure?" Naruto asked.
"Yeah I'm sure."
"Hey sorry about earlier. I was seriously not trying to make fun of you," Kiba said. He was like Naruto. So out there and in your face. It annoyed me.
"It's fine I'm seriously tired so you guys go have fun," I managed to get out.
"Well next time we seriously gotta hang out. We always have crazy fun." Naruto seemed to light up at that statement. I opened the door and went into the room then threw myself into bed. I was exhausted from all the walking and talking. I don't think I've ever talked that much with other people throughout my entire life. How annoying?
