I know Sasuke is commonly in a bad mood in the anime, but I am pretty sure he was nothing like that before the massacre, so he's going to be cheerful before then. Sorry if that bothers anyone, but it doesn't make sense for him to act all, "Hn." before the massacre. Also, I have no idea what the fan girls were like back then, so I am making that up too. ^_^

I was so excited I could hardly breathe. I was finally waking up for my first day at Konoha's Ninja Academy. I wasn't sure when I should show up, but I know it's good to be early. School starts at 7:30 in the morning so I decided to leave home around 6:30. I had sort of a Deja vu moment as I flew out the door into a familiar wall. Again, like last time, the wall grunted and fell to the floor. I wasn't in a hurry this time and looked down at the boy.

"Oops, sorry again. You should really stay away from my door." I told him. He looked at me with a confused expression.

"Who are you?" He asked me, his eyebrows creased.

"Who? Me?" I asked down to him. He gave me a 'duh' look, and nodded, "I'm Mallow Uchiha!" I smiled to him and stuck out my hand.

"Sasuke Uchiha," He grabbed my hand, and I pulled him up to his feet.

"Well Sasuke, where are you heading so early in the morning?" It was quite early, but I had to get to school extra early. What if something hindrance me from making it there on time.

"To the Academy." I immediately lit up.

"That's where I'm going! Is it your first day too?" I asked happily.

"Yeah. My brother told me a lot about it and I've had a lot of training previous from today," He spoke calmly, but I could tell he was excited. After that it was silent. I didn't want to ask any more questions. I was just so happy to go to the academy. Sasuke and I arrived at the academy and were surprised to see no one there.

"Heh, Uchiha's are early," I laughed. He gave me a funny look. How mean.

Sasuke seemed a bit uninterested in my presence, so I left him to go sit under mine and Naruto's tree. Yes. I claimed it, thus it is ours.

It took a good 20 minutes before the first person showed up. Sasuke was across the school yard leaning against a wall all cool-like and this girl with long blond hair pulled up into a pony tail walked by me.

"Who's he?" She asked me. I could see the visible blush appearing on her face. I knew where this is going…

"His name is Sasuke Uchiha," I told her.

"He sure is cute…" She said, and then turned to me, "I'm Ino Yamanaka. It's nice to meet you." She smiled down to me. She was quite tall and I was leaning against the tree making me much shorter.

"I'm Mallow Uchiha," I told her, learning from Naruto. When someone tells you their name, you respond with your own. I am such a good learner…

"Oh. So are you related to Sasuke?" She asked. I think she got in her head some idea on how to use that to her advantage, but I shook my head 'no'.

"I do live in the Uchiha compound. I think I live a few doors down from him, but I'm not sure." I was about to ask her why, but decided I didn't really want to know. More people showed up, slowly crowding the school. I noticed a few more Uchiha (I could tell, we all look the same, ha) and some unique individuals as well. There was a boy with the cutest animal (my gosh, is it a dog? I can't remember) but I was extremely tempted to go meet him just to play with his pet. I can foresee as sad friendship… And another boy with a coat that went up to his nose and dark glasses on. Another boy had a thick pony tail that tied so high near the top that it sprouted out like a pineapple. I wonder if he did that on purpose. Then I noticed something. Every girl had the same reaction as Ino. They would walk around for a while, but as soon as they saw Sasuke, they would blush and turn away. Yeah, Sasuke is cute, but really? Every girl? I surely am not acting like that. I think… Am I?

As I began to ponder on how I was acting, a familiar blond popped out from behind the tree I was currently leaning on and screamed at me. Of course, me being me, I screamed back and fell to the ground.

"Naruto…" I seemingly growled before turning around and tackling the laughing blond onto the ground.

"Hey, Mallow, I'm so happy you're here!" Naruto practically yelled into my ear. I am pretty sure the entire campus heard that. I looked around to confirm, but all I saw was Sasuke looking in our direction. Guess not.

"Shush up, Naruto, you hurt my ears!" I told him.

"Sorry," He said sheepishly, but of course his volume was back up again in an instant, "Did you meet anyone new?" He asked me.

"Yeah, a girl named Ino Yamanaka." I said to him, "That's all though. I don't really feel like socializing all that much today."

"Yeah, I tried talking to someone, they just ignored me," I turned to look at him. He said this through a smile? Guess it wasn't a big deal then.

"Such as life," I said.

The door opened from the academy and a man with silver white hair came out and blew an ear piercing whistle before addressing us all.

"If it is your first day, go to the far left room," He said pointing in the direction in I guess we were supposed to go to, "Room 213 should be written on the door, so make sure you are at the right place. If any of you are confused ask any of the elder children or teachers and they will help you. Right everyone?" He called out.

"Yes, Mitsuki-sensei!" The majority of the population called out. Now I was excited. I could see everyone struggling past one another to get their rooms, so I decided it would be faster to just wait. Naruto seemed to be waiting for me.

"Might as well wait here for everyone to leave Naruto. I don't really want to push past all the people," I said to him. Sasuke seemed to have the same idea as he didn't move from his position on the wall. When it seemed the majority of the people made it class, me and Naruto stalked off to Room 213 followed by Sasuke.


"Welcome class to Konoha's Ninja Academy!" Iruka shouted across the small classroom. Naruto and I were sitting in the far back; all the better seats were taken by the time we got there, "For now on, you will refer to me as Iruka-sensei," He said and turned to look at Naruto and I. "Also, as a class, you will go through all your academy years together, so I am going to give you this time to meet one another. Share your names; make sure you have talked to every person in this room before moving on to socialize with your friends," The class seemed happy with this command except me. I don't really want to meet all these people yet. There is too many to remember all the names of.

So let the profiling begin!

Kiba Inuzuka: "Yeah, I'm Kiba and this is my dog, Akamaru," He said while leaning against the wall on one foot. Oh how I wanted to push him down, he looked so unstable. His hair was shaggy brown, but was hidden by a hood. He also had a white and brown dog that I was sure I would become attached to.

Sakura Haruno: "Hi," long pause, "I'm-uh" some stutters later, "My name is Sakura." Her shaggy pink hair hid her face from my view. She seemed to be quite shy, and I could tell she wasn't making any friends too easily.

Ino Yamanaka: "Hey, Hi again. Have you seen how the other girls are looking at Sasuke?" Yes and why did I care? "They make me so jealous!" Why?

Shikamaru Nara: "Shikamaru Nara," I waited for him to continue. He didn't.

Choji Akimichi: "Heheh. My name's Choji! It's nice to meet you Mallow!" Seemed nice enough, bit on the round side, but I need to teach myself not to judge on appearances.

Sasuke Uchiha: "Yeah. We already met." He seemed to be in a bad mood.

"What's wrong?" I asked him, confused.

"Damn girls won't stop staring at me." He turned to look at a mass of females huddled in the corner staring at him. I laughed and walked to the next person.

Hinata Hyuga: "My name's," She spoke so quietly! I could barely hear her. "I'm Hinata. Pleased to meet you," She's worse that Sakura. She's real polite though. There's a plus.

Shino Aburame: "My name is Shino. It's nice to meet you." Okay. This is the guy where I can't see practically anything about his facial features. Dark glasses and coat pulled over his face. All I see it his dark hair extruding upwards. Heh. Ninja alright.

Naruto Uzumaki: "Mallow!" He screamed across the classroom and ran towards me. He startled me quite a bit as I jumped back into a wall. Bleh, Naruto. Bleh.

Okay, so I met everyone. Everyone was very… unique? I don't know. The Sakura girl seemed to be a lot like Hinata, but that's it.

Not much happened really after that. It was the first day of school. Iruka went over the expectations he had for us as a class, I blandly listened and then went home. Mother asked how it went, I told her, "Well," and went to sleep.


Day Two: Okay. What kind of school is this? I am stuck outside trying to find flowers. Not cool.

"Today we are going to learn to gather materials. I have given you a paper that has a picture of the materials you need to acquire. You can find them outside, stay on school campus," Iruka-sensei instructed us. The paper had pictures of different flowers. I have currently found 3 out of 5. I am looking for a white daisy and this weird blue flower with red thorns.

"Hey, Mallow…" Naruto called out to me. "Could you tell me where you found this weird flower?" He showed me a picture of a dandelion.

"There's a bunch behind the classroom." I told him. That's the easiest flower to find, "Say, how many have you found?" He gave me a sheepish grin and began scratching the back of his neck.

"Well, I uh—"

"You haven't found any?" I asked. He nodded and I sighed. I grabbed his hand and pulled him along, pointing out the flowers I had found on the way. Finally, I noticed some white daisies under the tree me and Naruto met at. That's when we noticed Sakura siting under the tree crying. I didn't know how to approach her, not did I know why she was crying. I was relieved to see Ino crouch by Sakura's side to see if she was okay. I pulled Naruto along to give them privacy. Who wants to be ease dropped on when they're crying?

A while later Iruka came back out.

"Okay! Time to come and get your stuff! Class is almost over." A long groan chimed through the class. I guess the majority of the people couldn't find all the "materials".

"What you haven't found can be continued tomorrow," Stupid blue flower red thorns.


Day Three: No thoughts.

The Next day, Sakura looked a lot different. Her shaggy pink hair was pulled back by a red ribbon and she shyly walked across campus. Ino greeted her with a smile, and I could tell that those two were going to be good friends in the future. Nothing much happened. No one could find the stupid blue flower with red thorns, and Naruto came up with the crazy idea to paint the correct colors on. I copied him, and we both got scolded at. Iruka never punished us though, and revealed to the class that there was no stupid flower with blue petals and red thorns. I don't like him much anymore. Sasuke seemed to gain some followers, which was funny and every day I would laugh at him on our walk back home.

"They follow you like ducklings do their mother!" I laughed out loud. He just pouted.

"Are you trying to imply something?" He growled.

"You catch on quickly!" I laughed. I've been teasing him about his duck-butt looking hair all day. The scowl on his face was cute and I poked him the cheek. He gave me a bewildered look and I laughed and ran ahead. Sasuke followed quickly after with a small smile on his face.

Heh. I know. I stopped writing for a bit. But new stories are always like that. I just need to get past this difficult gap and then the words will begin flowing out! ^~^
