Chapter 4 –Transferred student, Uchiha Sasuke.
A loud sounding thunder jolted me back to reality. My dear lord, how long have I been awake? I glanced at the ticking clock on my wall, it's already pass midnight. My eyes were then fixed on the beads of water pouring onto the glass window with the trees blown back and forth by the storm. It just somehow reminds me of the day we first met. How stupid of me not to get his contact number in the first place, but who'd knew that I have to be forced away from him huh?
Dragging my feet, I got up from my bed and walked to the kitchen. On the way pass the living room, I saw Jiraiya laid on the couch with his cup of coffee on the coffee table and his Pajamas half buttoned. He must've worked overnight again. Carefully, I covered his body with a blanket, making sure I didn't wake him. That pervert is sure hard working at times.
After I got my cup of water, I was back in my comfy bed. My head spun, I couldn't sleep. Every corner of my mind was about him. I wonder how he felt… afterall, we couldn't bid a farewell and I left without a warning… I missed him. Sasuke…
"Dear lord, how long are you going to sleep? You're going to be late!" Jiraiya dragged the blond out of the bed, who was still clung onto his blanket with his eyes half opened. "Uhh, one more minute, please…" He mumbled before he was pushed into the bathroom with toothbrush and toothpaste forced into his hands. "You have five minutes to get ready!" Jiraiya then slammed the door shut and stomped off into the living room.
Naruto gazed into the mirror, only realising the dark circles under his eyes. "Ugh, I guess this is what I get for not sleeping earlier…" He plunged his face into the cold, icy water, attempting to wake himself up. He quickly brushed his teeth and wiped the excess water off his face. He scurried to put on his uniform and grabbed his backpack, lastly rushing out of his room and into the living room.
With a toast dangling in his mouth, he tied his shoelace and hung the backpack on his back. He hopped onto his bicycle and sped away towards the direction of his high school, Konoha Gakuen.
He jumped off his Bike and swallowed the last bite of the piece of bread. After locking his bike and making sure it's secured, he dashed pass the metal gate entrance, into the school and up the stair until the 4th floor. He slowed himself down and crept pass the classes with their lessons on going. He crept into the class' back door labeled 'Team 7-10' on his fours as quietly as possible, but he just had to go through the same routine… "Uzumaki Naruto." That voice spoke in monotone as Naruto stood back on his foot. A pearl of sweat lined down his forehead while he stood still as a stone. A blackboard duster came flying to his face, hitting it directly on the center of it. "Argh!" He gave a loud cry before falling onto the ground.
"Damn It, Kakashi sensei!" He grunted, still laid sprawled on the ground. The whole class burst out in laughter as Kakashi, their home room teacher called Naruto out to stand by the Hallway as a punishment of being late. Naruto had a thick cardboard hung over his neck with words labeled on it, reading "I am punished for being extremely late for class". He yawned, his hand halfway raised to cover his mouth before a passer-by caught his attention.
That guy that caught Naruto's attention is a new face among the crowd. That guy had dark raven hair with pitch black emotionless eyes. His right hand carried a pile of documents and he looked neatly dressed, except for the top button that he seemed to have left it purposely unbuttoned, showing a little of his chest muscles. He looks way cool! Naruto thought silently in his mind. As the new guy passed by, he stole a glance at Naruto, his lips forming a little smirk that actually made Naruto's face go red in that instance.
"Dobe." That new guy called out.
"Wha-" is he talking about me? He then looked down at the cardboard, noticing that instance why that guy actually called him by that name, his face turned red as a tomato. When he looked back, the new guy was already gone. He poked his head through the entrance door to his class, he saw that same guy. That guy gave Kakashi the pile of documents and stood by Kakashi. Naruto could hear squeals of the girls in the class as Kakashi introduced the new guy to the class. "Alright class, we're having a new guy here…"
"What's your name?"
"Uchiha Sasuke."
It can't be… Him…
