Chapter 2: Nice to meet you stranger
Naruto's POV
As I got out of the bed I had a terrible headache. I could barely go to sleep the night before, because I couldn't believe that Sakura was gone. Just like...that. I swaggered from my bed to my bathroom in despair. I looked in my mirror. My eyes widened considerately.
'I don't wanna meet what's-his-name-like this.'
I stopped a heartbeat. I had forgotten his name, HIS NAME. How is does one do that? I'll fix that later, but for right now I had more important things to do.
I ran across my bathroom looking for my toothbrush, my comb, and anything that could affect my appearance in a positive way. I knew we would meet at the bridge at 5:00pm but I had got up at 6:00 am After I finished freshening up I helped myself to some cereal, but without milk because I needed to get some.
I left out the door in a rush because I wanted to go see Sakura to tell her how sorry I am for ignoring her the day before. On the way I looked at the old school. So many memories locked in a single school. It felt like if you opened a door you'll drown in memories. But one memory always came to the top of the list. The time I had at the swing.
I took a detour to the swing telling myself I would see Sakura later. After all, I had about 10 hours left before w met the new kid. That reminded me what's so special about him? Without realizing it I had walked to the swing in muscle memory. I was about to sit down until I noticed someone there.
I couldn't tell what he looked like because I was facing his back. He looked pretty much near my age so I wasn't worried. In his hands he had a book with pictures in it probably from what looked like a camera attached to his side. His clothes had the symbols of the Elements of Water, Earth and Fire. His pants were Jeans colored with a perfect blend of blue and red. He had a grayish bag that looked like it weighed a ton. I noticed that he looked Egyptian. His leaf band was around his neck. So like an idiot I did what any Naruto would.
I tried to cheer him up forgetting my own grief.
"Are you O.K.?" I kinda yelled at him causing him to lose his balance and he fell off the swing. As I ran over to him he answered my greeting. "Uh, I'm kinda O.K.". "Well that's good, and let me introduce myself." Striking a pose, he didn't seem as bothered as I thought he would but he politely listened.
This stranger was weird. "My name is Naruto Uzamiki" suddenly his face got serious and he looked me over. I think he noticed my expression and seemed to realize that he had been staring.
"Oh I'm sorry for staring" he got up from the swing and shook my hand. "My name is Beta, let's be friends"
Hmm, where did that name come from? I swore that I knew that name from somewhere. Oh well, I'll probably remember later. He looked at me with a puzzled look. Then my stomach and his stomach growled in unison.
"I guess I'm hungry, and you are too" he smiled. "Hey Beta do you like ramen?" Beta seemed happier "Yes I do and I like it a lot"
"Then let's go get some." He picked up his bag and off we went.
On our way there we saw the training grounds we saw the infamous Sasuke, panting.
"Hey lets go over there and play" and he grabbed my arm and forced me to go over to the training grounds. When Sasuke saw us he stopped panting. "Who are you?"
Beta just smiled "my name's Beta" and with that he took the camera from his side and took a picture of Sasuke shocked, and then Sasuke fainted. I laughed but Beta pulled me away. "you'll wake him up, lets get some noodles now!" I tried to stop laughing but I couldn't so Beta picked me up and carried me over his shoulder. On the way I couldn't stop talking "you said... and , bff ha ha ha" "yeah it was pretty funny but I didn't really mean it... yet" and we got to the ramen stand laughing. But when we opened the doors Sakura was with Ino talking in a booth near the door.
"Hey Sakura isn't tat Naruto?" Sakura turned around "yeah it is" then she got up and saw that he was followed by someone.
"Hey Naruto who's that?" and she pointed to te guy focused on the menu, Naruto turned "Hi Sakura, this is Beta iI met him on the way to your house". Then Sakura froze and fainted.
You'll love what happens next.
