Chapter 3. Friend

"Osmosis is of great importance in biological processes where the solvent is water. The transport of water and other molecules across biological membranes is essential to many processes in living organisms. Haruno-san, Can you tell me the process of osmosis itself?" asked a woman in her early thirties. The woman is a fairly tall and light-skinned woman of slender build. She has long, black, shoulder-length untamed hair, and very unique eyes that are red in colour, with an additional ring in them. The woman who wore make-up consisting of red lipstick and purple eye shadow stopped her reading and looked up to the pink haired girl who sat at the back desk.

Crunch.

"Yes, Kurenai-sensei. If two solutions of different concentration are separated by a semi-permeable membrane which is permeable to the smaller solvent molecules but not to the larger solute molecules, then the solvent will tend to diffuse across the membrane from the less concentrated to the more concentrated solution. This process is called osmosis." Sakura ended it proudly.

Crunch. Crunch. Crunch.

"Very well. Now, Hinata, can you remind me of the diffusion process?" Kurenai asked the black haired girl who sat on the front desk. She smiled at the girl giving more courage to the girl for talk.

'psst (whisper) chouji (wishper) do you want (whisper) this too (whisper)?'

"Y-yes, se-sensei. Umm..ano.. d-diffusion is- um- di-ffusion r-refers to the process by which mo-molecules intermingle a-as a result of their kinetic e-energy of ran-random motion, se-sensei." said the timid girl groggily. The corner of her eyes shyly glanced at the corner of class.

'r-really?(whisper) You gonna give that (whisper)?'

'sure, sure (whisper) I have a lot of it (whisper) let's eat this together (whisper)'

"Very good, Hinata. Well, then, now, Uzumaki-kun, why don't you tell me the example of osmosis process?" she asked the boy who sat at the corner of class. Her eyebrows twitching and her palms clenched itchy.

'how is it, chouji (chew) this (chew) is good (chew) righhht (crunch) ?'

'yeah (chew) where are you (chew) get this from (crunch) ? this is (crunch) really good (crunch)'

Kurenai smiled at the sight in front of her before placed her book at the table. She walked calmly to the corner of class. The students around her quickly moved to avoid the dark aura that kept splashing around her body. She stopped at the front of blond boy and smiled. "Really? Is that really good, Uzumaki-kun? May I have some too then?" She asked calmly. Her face was smiling but the dark aura around her nearly killed students around her.

Naruto turned his head to the voice beside him as he answered grinning "Sure, sure, (chew chew) I have a lot of it (chew) You can hav-" he stopped his sentences abruptly. His eyes widened and the snacks that hold by his hand dropped. Behind him chouji choked on his own food.

"I can?" kurenai asked again. Her palms clenched itchy to hit someone.

"ehehehehehe, ano, sensei, o-of course yo-you can, ahahaha, he-here you can have it all, ahahaha, ri-right chouji" he swallowed as his hand rubbed the back of his head nervously.

"oh (crack) that (crack) is (crack) kind (crack) of (crack) you (crack) Uzumaki-kun" Kurenai said as she continually relaxed her palm muscle.

Naruto's eyes widened even more. He swallowed hard as he tried to move back escaping from his dead fate. "L-look, se-sensei, I-I really do-don't mean to, it's just that I-I am really hungry so-so-GYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"

"hahahahahah- you- haha- naruto you- hahahahahaha" Kiba laughed madly.

"Shut up, dog breath. I am hungry, okay!" Naruto pouted and crossed his arm. Both of his ears were glowing red due to being pulled so hardly. Beside him, chouji was partially in the same state.

"troublesome…" Shikamaru sighed next to them. He folded his hand on the table and slept his head upon it.

"but-hahahahhahah- that was just- ahahahhahaha-ouch ouch" he held his stomach hurt from too much laughing.

"that's for laughing at me, dog breath." Naruto smirked.

"Shut up." Kiba said glaring

"But, seriously, Naruto, what's wrong with you? People don't just eat in the middle of class because they are hungry you know?" Ino said as she sat beside Shikamaru. Behind her Sakura walked following.

"Nah, people need to loosen up sometimes, like the one beside me" he smirked at the girl as his finger pointed at Kiba who glaring at him. "Though, I have to say sorry for Chouji, because me you got a detention." He smiled apologetic to the orange haired boy.

"Nah, the snacks are worth it." He smiled."By the way do you still have it?" he asked as the corner of his mouth watering.

"sure, sure, here you can have it all" Naruto said laughing and gave the snacks to the chubby boy.

The group laughed again. They began to talk randomly as they waited for the next class. Took a glance of his friends, Naruto secretly picked up the blue book that placed safely in his shirt pocket. He took the pen and opened his diary. He smirked and began to write. Not realizing that Shikamaru looked at him suspiciously.

Kakashi was late again. It was almost an hour but the gray haired teacher was still nowhere to seen. Naruto sighed on his seat. He leaned against the chair and crossed his arms. He glanced to next to him to see shikamaru slept soundly. At the front desk, Kiba talked loudly with group of boys. Chouji still ate the snacks he just gave before. His mouth had yet stopped chewing. He glanced behind him to see Shino talking with his bug. He sighed again.

All his old friends had yet to change. They were still partially same as like as he remember when child. Shikamaru was still a lazy-ass bastard that has a genius brain. It was only two days since he came to this school. But all he saw about shikamaru was slept all day. The teacher didn't even punish him for slept in the middle class. He heard it was because Shikamaru once wrote a paper for a competition and won it nationally and got the school an honor for years. So, the school let him do as he wanted as long as he kept his grade good in the end. Damn. Lucky bastard.

Kiba was still loud and obnoxious as ever. Naruto remembered him as crazy bastard. They once like to play pranks in school together, made the school in uproar. He chuckled at the memory. He wondered if kiba still want to do prank with him. It would be great since prank was also one of his missions in the school.

Chouji was greedy in food. He was even bigger than Naruto remembered about him. Naruto almost choked at his own saliva when he saw chouji ate his lunch yesterday. The portion was too much that it almost occupied all place on the table. No wonder chouji was really big. He shook his head at the thought.

Shino was still weird and loner. He didn't really know him in the past. But he remembered Shino as boy who really like to play with bugs, even talked and ate with them. It seemed it was still same.

Sakura and Ino were looked more beautiful right now, though their personality were still same. They were best friend and rival at same time. They were never tired to compete each other, even though they always got a draw in the end. It also seemed their personality as fangirl has gotten worst. He felt pity to the boy who was kept pestered by them as he glanced to the boy who sat beside the window.

It was the pretty boy who Naruto saw yesterday. Naruto found out his name was Sasuke Uchiha, It seemed to him that Sasuke was a loner who like brooding on his own. He always looked outside the window except only when the teacher taught the class. He didn't even glance to the girls who kept flirt at him all day. Naruto decided he was a cold bastard. Every boy would want to be in his position. How could he just kept brooding like that and wasted all his fangirls. Or maybe that guy was a gay after all. That would make sense with his pretty appearance and all.

But…

He raised his hand and touched his chest with palm. He frowned.

'Why did my heart beat so fast like this each time I see him?'

Badump. Badump. Badump. Badump. Badump.

'and this feeling…it's not because my sickness right? I knew it's not… but…'

He squeezed his palm before took his eyes away from the boy. He really didn't know what happened with his body. The feeling was too much. His heart beat so fast and it was hard to breathe. His stomach also kept fluttering weirdly. 'Is it really not because my sickness?' he thought wondering.

The bell finally rang loudly letting the student know that it was time to have lunch. Kakashi came really late. It was half hour before the bell. He should just not come to the class at all if he was going late at the last minutes.

Naruto walked with his friends to canteen. In his hand was a bento that specially made by his sister. He glanced around to find a red hair. Gaara was in the different class today. After a few minutes he finally caught a sight of red haired boy. He was about to walked to him when a hand grabbed him.

"dude, where are you going? Let's sit there to eat" Kiba said to him as his hand stopped naruto from go.

Naruto frowned and glanced to the table that was pointed by kiba. It seemed that was their usual table as all their friends walked to sit there. He glanced to Gaara who was about to sat on the table outside the canteen. "Gaara!"

Kiba's eyes widened before he grabbed naruto's body. "dude! Are you crazy, why the hell did you call him!" all his friends stopped their walked when heard Kiba yelled.

"What did you mean?" asked naruto frowning. But he decided to ignore kiba and walked to the red haired boy "Gaara!"

The red haired boy stopped his walk and turned his head to naruto. His face was expressionless. He stared at naruto for a while before turned his head and walked away.

Naruto's eyes widened. "What- Gaara! Where are you-" his word was cut off abruptly when he felt kiba grabbed him again,

"dude, stop it! Do wish to die?! No one call gaara like that!" kiba yelled loudly

"I know kiba is idiot, naruto, but this time, he was right." Ino added

"What the-

"Shut up, dog boy. Anyway, you shouldn't get near gaara. He is scary." Sakura added as she smirked to kiba who glaring.

"But, how do you know about gaara, naruto? Did his popularity already spread that far?" chouji said

"popularity? What do you mean?" asked naruto in confusion

"What, you don't know?! Gaara is an ass bastard. I heard he like fighting. They even said that he once nearly killed the opponents." Kiba said in disgust

"true, true, there are even rumors that say he is doing drugs." Tenten added

"Hey, is it true that he is part of yakuza? I heard he also killed his own mother when child. That was crazy." Kiba thought shivering.

Naruto's eyes widened as he heard his friend talked badly about his best friend.

"Anyway naruto, he is a bad influence, you shouldn't get near him or even look at him."

"yeah, damn, do you see his stare just now? He looked like he was about to kill someone, he should-

"SHUT UP" Naruto growled.

"YOU! You don't even know him! Gaara is my best friend! Don't ever talk shit about him like that! If you just gonna shitting him like this, then you better never talk to me again!" he hissed angrily before stomped away from them.

Kiba, sakura, ino, chouji, tenten and shikamaru'eyes widened at the sudden outburst. They could only stare dumbstruck watching Naruto angrily walked away from them. They looked at each other before looked away guilty.

"Troublesome..."

"Gaara!"

"Gaara! Gaara! damn it, stop you bastard!" shouted Naruto angrily as he run to chase the red haired boy.

"You ass! Stop, I said!" He grabbed gaara's shoulder and pushed him hard to the wall

"You –pant- bastard –pant- " he said as he was out of breath

"Why are you doing here?" Gaara said coldly

"What –pant- You ass! That's my line! –pant- Why the hell did you –pant- ignore me just now –pant- ?!" he said still panting

"You are with your friend. You alrea- Naruto, are you okay?" he said frowning as he watched his friend tried hard to keep his breath.

"I –pant- fine, damn-"

"Naruto, maybe you should-

"shut up! I am fine, damn it!" He pushed himself to the wall and leaned against it. His breath had yet to calm down. His head started to dizzy. Damn, he shouldn't run like that. It all was gaara fault made him run like that. Fuck. He took a long breath and relieved it. He did it again before sighed.

"Naruto, are y-

"I said I am fine. Damn it. But, You! You asshole! Why the hell did you run away from me like that, you bastard!" naruto yelled again after he felt his breath turned normal.

The red haired boy turned his head away from his friend. His face became expressionless cold again. "You already heard it from your friend, right?"

"about what, I don't-

"You heard. About me." he said coldly.

Naruto's eyes widened before it glared angrily. "I did. But! Why the hell did they talk shit like that! They do-

"Because it's true, Naruto. You move away from our town, you didn't know what happened. People hate me. I don't want them to hate you too, so I decided to avoid you." Gaara cut in.

"Bullshit! I know they are not true! I thought we already over this, damn it. Your mother's death was not your fault! It was accident. You are my best friend. I know you. You are not bad kid." Naruto yelled at him

"But, that still don't change their thinking of me you know, it would be better if you av-

"Shut up!" he hissed angrily. "I don't care what the fuck they are thinking! No one talked shit about my friend. If they are going to like that, that's means war for me" he growled furiously and crossed his arm.

Gaara's eyes widened before it's softened. He smiled at his best friend. "Thanks, naruto. But you don't need to do anything, its fine."

"like hell it's fine! Anyway, don't ever you avoid me again, you hear me? If they gonna think bad about me, then so be it. I am Uzumaki Naruto. I never have good popularity, anyway." He huffed annoyed.

Gaara only smiled grateful at him.

"Kyuubi is such an ass. She didn't even let me eat ramen as snacks damn it. Do you even know what she said? She said ramen cup is super ugly sloppy junk with preservatives shit! Even my mom was side with her!" Naruto whined

Gaara chuckled at his friend before replied. "But ramen is junk with preservatives shit. It's not health you know"

"What, now you are side with them, I thought you are my best friend, you bastard." He crossed his arms and pouted.

"I am your best friend. I just don't like ramen, you know" he chuckled again

Not knowing of them, far across their desk at the front side of class. A group of teens was staring at them. Tenten rubbed her hand awkwardly as she glanced at naruto guilty. "You know, do you think we should apologize to them?"

"are you crazy? He is gaara! There is no way in hell I apologized to them!" Kiba growled angrily

"But, what if Naruto was true? I really felt guilty about this." Tenten said again

"troublesome.." shikamaru sighed

"Hey, did gaara just smiled just now?" Ino said suddenly. Her eyes widened at the sight in front of her.

"Holy shit, He laughed! Did you see that?" sakura added in shock

"hey, they are really looked so close. Naruto said gaara is his best friend right?" chouji said this time

"B-but, that's didn't change he was gaara! you know about the rumors!" kiba yelled stubbornly.

"b-but still, I felt really bad about naruto, now he must be really angry with us. He didn't even glance to us when he walked into the class!" Tenten said again.

Shikamaru who has been listening to them sighed. He yawned sleepily and stood up from his seat. "It's such a troublesome…"

His friends stared wide at him as he walked slowly to Naruto before took a seat beside him.

Naruto who has been chattering with gaara stop his talk and stared at shikamaru weirdly. Shikamaru stared back before looked away and scratching his head awkwardly. "You know, it's such a troublesome. But, do you mind if I join your chat with your best friend?" he said as he took a glance gaara.

Naruto's eyes widened, before he grinned widely. He hugged Shikamaru's shoulder and said "What the, you are just gonna sleep here right? Well, I don't mind. Anyway, this is gaara, I think you already knew him. We have been talking about my sister, you know, she was such a bitch. She has been forbid me from eating ramen! Damn it, did you know what she said? She said…" He began chattering again. Shikamaru sighed in relieved as he knew that he was already forgiven.

"I-I am gonna apologized too!" Tenten suddenly said at her friends. She gripped her shirt nervously before walked to Naruto.

"W-wait, I am gonna apologized too." Chouji said following her.

"What the fuck! You cannot, he was gaara-

"B-but, he is naruto's friend. Beside h-he don't look so bad when smiling. I-I am gonna apologized too" Ino said before walked following his friend.

"S-shut up ino pig. I am the one who gonna apologized first!" sakura finally said didn't want to lose

"I am the first you forehead!" ino glared at her friend.

Behind them, Kiba glared angrily. He crossed his arms and growled. " Fine, whatever. Like hell I'm gonna apologized." He took a glance at his friends who now laughed and chatted happily. His palms began to itch before he gritted his teeth and exploded. "Damn it! Fine, Fuck! You ass bastard!" he stomped furiously to them.

"Yo, dog breath, so you finally come here huh?" Naruto said smirking

"Shut up, blondie! It's not like I gonna apologized to him!" he pointed to Gaara angrily

Naruto narrowed his eyes and glared. "Don't ever dare, Inuzuka" he growled

"W-what, yo-

"Shut up, dog breath! Just I apologized already. It's not like you are gonna lose anything, idiot" Sakura said as she hit kiba's head

"ouch, that's hurt, you bitch!" kiba yelled

"What the fuck did you just call me?" sakura growled

"w-what, no, wait, wait, damn it, ouch, stop, ouch, that's hurt! Sorry! I'm sorry okay, sorry!" kiba whined as he tried to avoid sakura's hit. All his friends just laughed at his pity fate.

Behind them, a dark haired boy who sat next to window turned his head to them. There was a flash of emotion in the boy's eyes when he glanced to the blond teen. Sasuke narrowed his eyes at them before he turned his head again and his face became expressionless again.

April, 11th 20xx

Today, I failed to get a detention. Kurenai-sensei is just too kind. Kakashi is still late as always. The classes was so boring. I didn't understand of it at all. Damn. I guess it was my own fault since I didn't have school for five years. But still, did the lessons always this hard? Thank god I brought snacks with me,

Oh, by the way, the snacks mission is success, haha. Kurenai's sensei expression was priceless! Woman is scary after all, especially a pregnant woman. Damn. My ears is hurt so bad. I hope it's not going to get worst because my sensitive skin. I'm really sorry about chouji who get detention because of me. I have yet get a detention myself because my status as new student. They are too kind, huh. Ah, and also Kiba's stomach seems hurt bad because laughing, haha, get that, dog breath!

Today, I realized something, one, about Gaara. It seems that all the students really hate him. They either glared at him or avoided him. Bastards. Why the hell did Gaara do to make them hate him like that? it remind me when we were child. Gaara was hated and bullied when we child. I thought it's gonna change as we grew. But, it's not at all. I shouldn't leave him alone before. I'm really sorry gaara…

I am glad my old friends decided to change their minds and be friend with gaara. well, it's shame since I have been planning the pay back for them in my head haha. Well, I guess I just have to use it for other guys.

Two, was that sasuke guy always alone? I have been watching him secretly. But all he does is brooding. I didn't even remember heard him talk ever since I came to this school. Did he feel lonely at all?

Three, I just realized that there was a hole in my plans. It was that this school is so freaking huge! There are so fucking many school clubs in this school, damn how supposed I do now? Well, lets just see it for tomorrow huh. Maybe I could try it one by one.

Today's mission

1.Eating in the class - done!

2.Get a detention - failed, I have to try it again tomorrow huh

The last thing I want to do

1. Get back to the school - done!

2.Join school club
