A/N: Woohoo! Chapter three is here! Hehehe… Thank you very much for all the reviews and keep 'em coming! At this chapter, Naruto, Sasuke and the other characters are finally going to school. Anyways, School is coming up here in my country Philippines too, and unlike some schools… we'll be starting class at June 6 (while some start at June 13) so probably I'll update during Fridays or Saturdays only! Okay, here's Chapter 3!

DISCLAIMER: I don't own Naruto! I'm just a jobless fanfiction writer and how on earth can I own that wonderful anime!

The Right Decision
Chapter Three: School

Another day has come on the village of Konoha. It was already March 6, a busy Monday morning… when worst traffic usually occurs.

At the apartment…

Naruto can hear the noisy and loud beeps of the vehicles outside, as he wakes up from his long sleep. He looked towards his alarm clock, which can't stop making loud sounds. It says that it was just 5:45… and whoa… traffic was so early. He stretches out his arms and yawns loudly. "Oh Kuso! Why do those vehicles can't stop beeping like idiots! Jeez…" He said as he stands up from his bed.

He ran towards the bathroom to take a short shower and to dress up his white long-sleeved uniform. As usual, the red necktie is always included, the pointy collar and also the small pocket nearby the left chest with the school seal is included in the blouse. Then never ever forget the brown long pants for boys, socks and black shoes! They're in high school anyway. Male Grade-schoolers wear brown shorts…

Then he went to the dining table and grabbed two bread slices from the cabinet and a jar of peanut butter spread. He ate it as fast as he could.

He quickly grabbed his orange backpack and ran outside the apartment. "Hehehe! I am not late unlike last autumn!" Naruto said as he ran going to school.

Meanwhile at Sasuke's house…

Sasuke was eating alone on the dining table. Usually an "on time" student, he was already on his uniform and his large blue backpack was just on the sofa nearby, beside a small pile of reference books from the library. He quickly ate his favorite Rice ball and grabbed his backpack carefully. "A new day starts… I hope no bullies will tease me for borrowing too many books at the library…" He whispered as he grabbed the pile of reference books.

He walked outside his house and locked the door. He walked towards his bicycle and puts the books on the front basket. Then he moves away freely with his medium-sized bike. (Usually, smart students use bicycles with baskets to help them carry lots of books.)

Then he saw Sakura, who was running to school happily with her friends, Yamanaka Ino, Hyuuga Hinata and Tenten. They are all wearing the female high school uniform: White blouse with short sleeves, a bow tie at the middle of the pointy collar, and the pocket nearby the left chest with the school seal and don't forget the brown mini-skirts, the high socks below the knee and black, girly shoes! While Female Grade-schoolers wear long skirts that reach below the knee.

Sasuke blushes as he looked towards Sakura's smooth and beautiful legs. Sakura faced towards him and waved her hand happily. He faced straight and his face turns redder as he moves faster. 'She saw me…' he thought shyly.

As the four girls ran together, Sakura started to speak. "Hey, you know what? Someone's going to invite me to the prom soon, but I don't know who he is." She said.

The indigo-haired Hinata blushes as she remembers that Naruto invited her and she agreed. "Anou… N-Naruto-kun… invited me, Sakura-chan. I hope that guy inviting you is nice." Hinata said shyly.

Sakura gasped. What? Naruto invited Hinata? So who would be SilentandMysterious723?

The pony tailed blond Ino chuckles like a hyena. "I'm glad that Shika-kun invited me! Take that, Temari! Bwahahaha!" She squealed childishly.

And lastly, the brown haired girl with the "Odango" hairstyle Tenten sighed. "Lee invited me… too bad Neji can't come and go to the prom with me…" She said sadly.

Ino gasps. "WHAT! THAT THICKBROWS INVITED YOU!" She shouted.

Hinata sighed. "Ino-chan, Tenten-chan, Neji-kun can't come because he has sore eyes and a high fever. He'll be on our house for this week." Hinata said.

Tenten sighed. "I'll just visit him later. I'll go home with you, Hinata." Tenten said. Hinata nodded.

Ino looked towards Sakura who was looking sadly above the sky. Ino raised an eyebrow and pats Sakura's head. "Hey, hey… what's with the long face, Sakura?" She asked.

Sakura sighed and looked towards her friends. "My chat-mate is going to invite me, but I don't know who he is. He told me yesterday that we're in the same class, but he didn't want to mention his name. Sasuke-kun told me that he might want to surprise me, but I'm still worried." Sakura said.

Ino hissed. "What is his username? Maybe I know him… from the rumors! Hehehe!" Ino said then laughed.

"SilentandMysterious723." Sakura replied.

Ino gasps and jumps in shock. "WHAT! I NEVER HEARD OF THAT USERNAME!" She shouted. Gosh, she really IS a cheerleader!

As Sasuke arrives on the school, he puts his bike on the parking lot, and walked towards the main gate, carrying all those heavy books. Bullies can't stop laughing at him, especially the Kankuro-guy.

"Hey! It's Nerdie-bookworm! And look! He borrows 5 books at the library! What a NERD!" He teased. His friends laughed like crazy, but Sasuke hissed and just walked away from them, ignoring their stupid teases.

Naruto breathes heavily of tiredness as he arrived on the campus, and saw Sasuke having a hard time carrying those books again. 'Sasuke's lucky he has a bike but I don't!' He thought as he ran towards Sasuke.

"HEY, SASUKE!" He called him.

Sasuke looked towards him and smiled. "Oh, hi, Naruto. I'm glad you're not late today." Sasuke said.

Naruto chuckled and scratches his head. "Hey, I see you have a difficult time on carrying those books. I'll help you. We're in the same class anyway." Naruto said.

Sasuke nodded. "Thank you very much, Naruto. You're a very good friend." Sasuke told him.

Naruto chuckles and he carried the 2 books for Sasuke. Bullies are laughing again that Naruto lost his patience and…

"SHUT UP!" He shouted.

The cheerleaders laughed at the bullies, which made them embarrassed, and went away.

Finally, Sakura and her friends arrived on the campus. Sakura and Hinata went inside together, as they are both from 4A. Ino ran going inside, as she was from 4B, and Tenten looked for the bowl-haired thickbrows Rock Lee, as they are both from 4C.

At the classroom of 4A, as the clock strikes 7:00 AM, the noisy class can't stop chattering about the prom. Some finally had their partners, but a few still don't have, most specifically, Sasuke and Sakura.

Sakura and Hinata arrives together inside, and Sasuke's face turns red as he looked towards his seatmate, Sakura. 'She usually comes to school before me, but why is it different now?' He thought.

Sakura sat gently beside Sasuke, and waved her hand again. "Ohayo, Sasuke-kun." Sakura said.

Sasuke shyly waves his hand back, and looked behind him, where Naruto was sitting with Hinata. Naruto winked at him, giving him thumbs up and Sasuke sighed, as he grabs his Physics book and read it again.

Hinata prepares her things silently, as Naruto observes her happily. "Yo, Hinata." Naruto greeted her.

Hinata gasps and looked shyly at Naruto-kun. "Ohayo, N-Naruto-kun." She said shyly.

Sakura stared at Naruto happily. Then she sighed and faced towards Sasuke. "Why did Naruto invite Hinata instead of me?" She whispered towards Sasuke's ear.

Sasuke sighed and closed his Physics book for a while. His face turns red once again. "…M-Maybe he knew someone is going to invite y-you pretty soon." Sasuke whispered back to her.

Sakura giggled and grabs her glittery pink-colored notebook. She also grabs her ball pen and draws a picture of the very handsome Uchiha Sasuke. Sasuke started to read that Physics book again, and Sakura was really happy that Sasuke is really nice.

Finally, the clock strikes 7:15 am and the school bell rings. The noisy class of 4A finally disciplines itself, as their homeroom adviser Hatake Kakashi comes inside the class room.

His silver hair makes some students think that he was over 40 years old, but actually he was just 29 years old. Very young, for Kakashi is a very energetic sensei.

"Good Morning, Kakashi-sensei!" The class greeted him, as they all stand up altogether from their seats.

Kakashi smiled, but it's not pretty obvious because of his mask. "Yo, 4A! Today's a wonderful morning, right?" He greeted them happily.

The whole class sat on their seats, and Kakashi chuckles. "Today, I want all students without partners for the prom…" He paused.

Sasuke cleared his throat, and Sakura gasps. "…to stand up!" Kakashi continued.

Sasuke sighed and stands up quickly. Sakura also stands up sadly, and the class started to chatter about them. They're the only two who didn't have partners yet. Kakashi chuckles. "Oh, so you two don't have a partner yet. I hope you'll find your partner really soon. It's just 4 days before the prom." He told them.

Sakura hissed and glared at Sasuke madly. Sasuke sighed sadly and sits down again.

Sakura breathes heavily and slaps Sasuke's face using her slim right hand. "Tell me, Sasuke-kun… ARE YOU SilentandMysterious723!" She shouted furiously.

Sasuke's body trembles like a vibrating cellphone, and tears started to flow down on his cheeks. His face turns red, and sweats can't stop running down on his handsome face. "I'm… so sorry. I… can't tell you." He whispered sadly.

Naruto looked at Sasuke sadly, and he patted Sasuke's back to calm him down.

Kakashi hissed and looked towards Sakura sternly. "Haruno Sakura, don't you do that to Uchiha Sasuke, because violence… is wrong." He said.

"Hmph!" Sakura frowned and sat down on her chair.

Their classmates started to laugh and chatter about Sasuke's nerdish personality. Why is he so shy to a very nice girl like Sakura?

Sakura and Sasuke didn't talk to each other, for about three hours, but, as Recess time starts…

Sakura stands up furiously and tried to walk away. Sasuke finally stopped crying, but he tried to stop Sakura by grabbing her hand. Sakura hissed. "Stop this, you… liar!" Sakura shouted towards him.

"Please forgive me, S-Sakura. I'm… r-really that guy on the chat room." He whispered, as he wraps his arms around her.

Sakura sighed. "Why didn't you tell me… about it?" She asked.

Sasuke smiled and pressed his lips against her lips quickly. Sakura's face turns red and Sasuke chuckles happily.

"Never mind that, I… just want to ask you to the prom. Will you… come with me? After all, we're friends." Sasuke asked her.

Naruto giggled as he peeps on the classroom door. 'Yes, Sasuke finally invited Sakura-chan to the prom!' Naruto thought.

Suddenly, Naru-angel appeared, as he plays the harp. "You're a good friend, Naruto." He said.

Naru-devil appeared too, as he frowns furiously and sticks out his tongue. "EEW! How could you let that nerd do that to Sakura!" He said.

Naruto chuckles softly. 'Hey, Naru-devil, I will never follow you! Hehehe.' He told him.

Naru-devil disappears while frowning furiously. "Hmph!"

Naru-angel disappears also with a "POOF!"

Sasuke smiled towards Sakura. "Okay, I will spend Recess time with you, but I need to ask Naruto." Sasuke said.

Sakura giggles. "Thank you very much, Sasuke-kun." She said.

Naruto walked inside, as he chuckles happily. "No, problem, Sasuke! You can spend this time with Sakura-chan! I'll meet you lunch at the library, okay?"

Sasuke smirked. "Okay, Naruto. Thanks a lot!" He said.

Then Sasuke and Sakura held each others' hands as they walked outside the class room.

"Let's go to the canteen. I'm so tired on the History lecture ago, Sasuke-kun." Sakura said.

Sasuke nodded his head. "Okay." He said happily. Sasuke was very happy that Sakura agreed to come with him, and it's all thanks to Naruto that he helped him and Sakura get together.

Ino, Hinata and Tenten glared at Sakura and Sasuke happily. "YAY! Take a look at there! Sakura is going out with the smart guy Sasuke! WOO HOO! GO, SAKURA!" Ino squealed towards them like a cheerleader.

Sakura giggled and looked towards Sasuke's onyx eyes. "That's Yamanaka Ino, the blond-haired cheerleader right there. The brown-haired girl was Tenten, and the blue-haired girl was Hinata, from our class. We've become friends since grade three, that' means, we've been friends for seven years. How about you?" Sakura said.

Sasuke chuckles happily as he walks with Sakura joyfully. "I met Naruto eight years ago. He's my best friend ever since, and I never had a group of friends like you have, but I was still happy." Sasuke said.

The two started to talk to each other for the first time, and it's very joyful that they become closer, as they sat together at the canteen. Both of them ate their rice balls together, and students can't stop giving them suspicious stares.

"Hey, is that Uchiha Sasuke the nerd, and Haruno Sakura, from the Science club?" A girl asked to her friend.

"Yeah, I think they look great together!" Her friend said.

Naruto ate with Hinata happily, but Hinata, as usual is still blushing and slowly eating her food. "Hey Hinata, don't be shy. I'm your friend now!" Naruto told her happily.

Hinata smiled. "Really…? A-Arigatou, Naruto-kun. I-I… want to be your friend too." She said shyly.

Then, the school bell rings once again, which made the students rush to their classrooms again.

As they finally arrive at the class of 4A, their Physics teacher, also their homeroom adviser Kakashi came again.

"Yo… today, our lesson will be about…" He said as he starts the lecture.

Sasuke smiles happily, as he knows a lot on Physics. This was his favorite subject after all, even though it's quite difficult for many students, specifically Naruto.

Finally, after a few hours of lecture, Lunch finally came. Sakura waved her hand goodbye to Sasuke and Sasuke waved his hand back. Sakura goes with Hinata once again, and Naruto looked at Sasuke, who was carrying his borrowed books again.

Naruto grabbed his Mathematics notebook and pencil case. Sasuke was still fixing his things carefully.

Naruto raised an eyebrow. "What are you waiting for? Let's go, Sasuke!"

Sasuke breathes deeply. "Today's the due date. Can you help me?"

Naruto nodded and grabbed two heavy books from him. Jeez, why does he borrow the maximum number of books at the library, five?

As they arrived on the library, Sasuke finally returns those heavy books and Naruto sat on the table.

"So, when do we start?" Naruto asked.

Sasuke walked towards him and sat beside him. "Okay, if you have a hard time memorizing all these formulas…" He said as he grabbed Naruto's notebook and pen.

He drew a graph and wrote all the formulas in finding the volume of different kinds of shapes. His handwriting is so neat, and it's way neater than Naruto's clumsy and messy handwriting. "…you have to make a graph similar to this, and now, it's finally easier to memorize it, okay?" He said like their teacher, Shizune.

Naruto nodded. "Hey, thanks for making me that graph 'cuz I don't even understand my own messy handwriting sometimes!" He said.

Sasuke had anime sweat drops falling from his face. "You must practice your handwriting also or else our teacher might be confused." He told him.

Naruto chuckled. "Hey, thank you very much, Sasuke!" he said, as they both stand up.

Suddenly, Naruto's stomach growled. Sasuke sighed. "Okay, let's eat lunch or else we can't receive enough energy later at Math time." He said, as they walked going outside the library.

As they finally came to the noisy canteen…

Sasuke stopped and looked towards Naruto. "Naruto, can we just stop for a second. I'll just tell you something." Sasuke said.

Naruto paused and looked towards Sasuke. "What is it? You want to go to the Comfort Room to have a potty break?" He asked loudly.

Suddenly, some students heard it and laughed like hyenas. Sasuke hissed and sweatdropped. "No, you don't understand… I just want…"

Sasuke ran towards Naruto and warps his arms around Naruto's soft teddy bear-like body. "…to thank you very much, Naruto. You made me very happy for eight years, even though I don't have many friends." Sasuke said, as he hugged him.

Naruto laughed. "Hehe… You're welcome, after all, I also wanted to thank you for helping me study harder." Naruto said.

"No matter how you have grown, you're still like a teddy bear, Naruto." Sasuke said happily, as he released Naruto from his strong arms.

People started to stare at them happily. "AWWWW…" They all said.

Sakura giggled and clapped her hands. "They are really friends forever…" Sakura told her friends.

Ino nodded and jumps with joy. "YEAH! OH YEAH! OH-OH-YEAH!" She cheered.

Hinata shyly glares at Naruto while Tenten just laughed at Ino's cheer.

Naruto jumps with joy. Suddenly, his stomach growled once again. "Ehehehe… I'm so hungry, Sasuke… let's go eat now!" Naruto said.

Sasuke chuckles happily and walked to the canteen with Naruto. "Okay, then. This day has been very happy for all of us, and I hope the prom will go well." Sasuke said, as they went to the canteen and get their lunches.

So… what will await for them on the next day? And the prom is coming really soon! Will Sasuke and Naruto enjoy their last prom on school?
