A/N: sigh I had hoped that first chapter would have been longer so I'll try to make the next few that way. I also forgot to mention in the last a/n that this will be a SasuNaru fanfic so if you do not like reading boy on boy love then now is the perfect time to leave. I didn't rate the last chapter as mature content because well it wasn't really, but the next few will have some sexual themes. I hope you enjoy it and please comment! I love the good comments, but helpful criticism is always acceptable.


The New Girl Ch. 2

Our Silent Battles...

Naruto looked from one to the other and back again, mouth agape.

"But Sasuke I thought..." Sasuke cut him off.

"See you," He said vaguely to the blond, not paying a bit of attention to him as he led Mizuki to the door.

"Our school's not all that large, but it's decently sized.." He began as they traveled down the hallways. He pointed out the different classes as they passed.

"We have a fully equipped gym and work out area, two basketball courts out back, a running track in the west wing, and an Olympic sized pool at the southern end of the building. Except you have to have permission from a teacher to use the pool and they usually only give permission to students who need it for extra swim practice."

"Naturally," She nodded in obvious agreement. "So who's the blond boy, if you don't mind me

asking?" She queried. He raised a questioning eyebrow. She winced when she saw his grimace at the mention of the boy.

"Sorry it just seems like he really likes you." She said nonchalantly. He grit his teeth, but inwardly smiled. He had grown to care about the dobe.

"Sasuke? Did I offend you?" She asked worried.

"Huh?" He looked over at her "Ah..no no," He waved his hands. "I was just thinking."

"Oh," She said twisting her fingers together nervously.

"I, I'm a little hungry, did you want to go get some lunch? We could join your friend." Mizuki suggested.

"Oh sure, I am hungry now that I think about it." His stomach rumbled loudly. From around the corner a pink haired girl grumbled,

"stupid new girl, Sasuke has never accepted my offer to eat lunch. She comes along and asks him once and he's all over it!" She stomped her foot and stormed off. Sasuke smirked, he had sensed her chakra a while ago, he revelled in the thought that she was jealous. He loved making Sakura angry, almost as much as he loved beating Naruto during their training sessions. They headed towards the cafeteria where they spotted the blond eating a bowl of ramen at a table, alone in the corner of the room. "Hey dobe," Naruto looked up his eyes turning bright as he smiled at Sasuke. "We're going to eat lunch with you."

"Really?!" Naruto asked surprised.

Mizuki and Sasuke stood in line for their lunches and after getting their Lasagna hot lunch, sat down a the table with Naruto.

"I can't bwelweve vo'er eeting wiff ee Fafuke." The blond barely got out between a large bite of his ramen.

"Eww, Naruto chew your food first before talking, that's disgusting!" Sasuke grimaced.

"Thorry," He said frowning.

Mizuki giggled and began eating her lunch. Sasuke opened his millk and took a drink, but before he could swallow it Naruto shouted,

"Hey Sasuke look!" He wiggled his nose with the chop sticks stuck in it.

"BLERGH!" Sasuke spluttered on his milk and squirted it all over the table. "Agh, Naruto what the?!" He shouted at the blond, wiping his face and the table. Mizuki laughed out loud this time, covering her mouth trying to muffle the noise. Sasuke pulled the chopsticks from the blond's nose and whacked him with them. Smirking as he put the sticks back into the boy's ramen.

"Yuck, Sasuke now my precious ramen is ruined!"

"Oh no, not the ramen!" Sasuke shouted sarcastically, rolling his eyes. He didn't know why, but he was feeling happy, just having lunch with his friends. One of which was extremely cute when they laughed and it wasn't the dobe.

The bell rang and it was time for Math class.

"Hey Mizuki what class do you have now?" Sasuke asked his fingers crossed.

"I have Math now," She said cheerfully, "My favorite subject."

Naruto gagged, Math was his worst subject, he didn't know how she could enjoy it!

"I'm horrible at that stuff!" Mizuki laughed,

"Well I could tutor you if you're that bad." She said teasing him. Sasuke felt a pang of jealousy

"Actually, Sasuke's going to help me, but thanks anyway," He said patting Sasuke on the back. The raven haired boy shrugged the hand off and growled at the blond.

"Grr, Naruto I never said..."

"Race you to class!" Naruto yelled and took off down the hall at full speed.

"He has a lot of energy, doesn't he?" Mizuki stated the obvious.

"You have no idea..." Sasuke said smiling as he thought of how long he and Naruto usually trained. "Really."

FLASH BACK

"Oi dobe, get off me," Sasuke demanded calmly. Their training session had ended with Sasuke on his back and Naruto straddling his waist. Naruto grinned,

"No way teme!" He stuck his tongue out at him.

"You better keep that in your mouth," The raven haired teen grinned back evilly. Sasuke moved so fast they switched positions in seconds. Now Naruto was on his back, eyes wide in shock, Sasuke now straddling the other boy. He leaned in so close to the blond's ear he could feel Sasukes breath, hot against his neck.

"You probably should listen and keep that tongue in your mouth, it's quite tempting hanging out like that." Naruto blushed so deeply he thought his face was on fire. Sasuke smirked, he enjoyed making the dobe blush, he looked so cute and innocent. He stood up with out looking at him, and offered Naruto his hand to help him up. The blond blushed again and took his hand...

FLASH BACK END

"Sasuke, we're going to be late if you don't hurry." Mizuki touched his arm and brought him back to the present time.

"Oh right," He said blushing slightly at her gentle touch. They hurried to Math class and made it just in time. They sat next to each other, Mizuki next to Naruto and Sasuke next to Mizuki.

"Iruka-sensii," Naruto whined, "I can't do this stuff!"

"Stop whining Naruto and pay attention, maybe you'll understand if you listen." He reprimanded him. Naruto mumbled something incoherent and sat back down. Iruka took roll and then began class by writing equations on the board. Naruto slowly ripped a piece of paper from his spiral notebook. The noise making Iruka clench his teeth in anger. He wanted to turn and yell at the boy, but he didn't want to embarrass him.

The blond crumpled the paper into a ball and hucked it at Sasukes head. The raven haired teen growled and reached around Mizuki with his mechanical pencil, lead extended, and jabbed Naruto in the arm. Naruto winced and bit his lip, trying not to express his pain vocally.

All of this happening around an oblivious Mizuki. She sat, happily copying down the equations and solving them one by one. Sasuke stopped his silent battle with Naruto for a split second to admire her intelligence. Which wasn't the best idea because just then Naruto shot a spit ball that stuck firmly to Sasuke's cheek, warm and slimey. That was the last straw for Iruka,

"Grr do you two mind?! I'm trying to teach a class here!" They boys stopped with serious faces plastered on. Mizuki looked up, confused,

"Ora?" Her small voice hardly heard. The whole class, except the three, burst into laughter causing Iruka to lose it even more.

"Oi, look at the disturbance you've caused, Naruto, Sasuke go stand in the hall!"

The two teens grabbed their things and headed for the door. Once in the hall, each on either side. Naruto turned on Sasuke and stated bluntly,

"This is all your fault, you know!"

"You're the one who started it dobe!" He spat at the blond.

"At least I'm not an emotionless zombie!" Naruto growled back.

"So you say." Sasuke laughed.

Naruto rushed forward and pushed Sasuke into the lockers. Only Sasuke pushed back, forcing Naruto back up against the lockers on the other side. Sasuke held him by the wrists, pushing him harder into the lockers. Naruto blushed deeply and turned his face away,

"W-what're you doing t-teme?" He asked his voice a bit shakey.

"The same thing you were about to do." He said hoarsely into his ear. Goose bumps popped up on the back of the blond boy's neck and he shivered.

"S-stop it..." He said weakly.

The bell rang and it seemed extra ordinarily loud. Probably because they were both dead silent! Sasuke backed off Naruto quite quickly as other students swarmed the hallways. Mizuki was one of the last students to come out of the Math classroom.

"Hey guys, what happened in there??" She asked curious.

"Nothing, the dobe here was annoying me." Sasuke said quietly.

"O-oh I see..." She said still confused, but she could feel the tension between the two boys and decided to let it go.

"Well now is our free period, what did you guys want to do for an hour?"

"I was going to have Sasuke help me with my Math homework right now." Naruto said grinning broadly.

"O-oh okay, well Ms. Sakura invited me to her house. I think I'm going to go find her. See you

tomorrow!" Mizuki waved energetically to both of them and they waved back.

Sasuke kind of wanted to spend some time alone with her, but he knew while Naruto was around it wasn't going to happen.

End Chapter.
