Chapter 1

The racket class 2-7 was causing could be heard all the way down the hall, achieving many head turns and exasperated sighs. Class 2-7 had a reputation for being extremely loud in the morning, especially when their teacher showed up late, as he often does.

If the classroom had been one person short, it would be just like any other classroom. But, alas, it was not, because a very prestigious and royal citizen was part of that class. Uchiha Sasuke was in class 2-7, so of course everyone had to fawn all over him every chance they had, which made teacher-free mornings very loud.

This morning though, the noise coming out of that room exceeded all margins and reached an all time high. It wasn't because of any particular reason or anything. I guess one could interpret it as foreshadowing. I mean, how better to dramatize sudden quietness than contrasting it immensely just a moment before? That abrupt silence was exactly how the class greeted the new kid as he followed the teacher through the door.

Sasuke could feel the change of tone in the air and wondered what could have stunned the class that badly (he had been surrounded by his numerous fans, to his great annoyance and slight smugness, so the front was blocked from him).

"Class, this is a new transfer from Sand High." Sasuke flinched a bit at the school name.

"His name is Uzumaki Naruto." Finally, a crack appeared in front of Sasuke as one of the girls leaned over to whisper to her friend. He peered over to the front of the room just as the new kid jumped into his line of vision with a huge grin splattered across his face.

"Heya, people! Name's Naruto. Nice to meet y'all!" He exclaimed to many shy little 'hi's in return.

The first thing Sasuke noticed was the kid's eyes. They were almost the exact replica of the sky on a perfect summer's day; complete with sunny sparkles and childish merriment. Then Sasuke's eyes traveled to his mop of hair. Mop was an exact description of it, seeing how the unruly blond tufts stuck out randomly at angles, yet still managing to look very natural and wind-swept.

"Take your seats, everyone!" The teacher yelled then, preventing Sasuke from inspecting the guy any longer as the crowd around him dispersed slowly, obstructing him from view. When everyone had settled down, the silver-haired teacher looked around the room, scrutinizing all the students, until his eyes settled upon an empty seat next to a dark-haired boy who was currently talking to his desk.

"Go sit by Kiba, Uzumaki, as soon as he gets rid of his dog." The boy sighed without even looking up and opened up the window next to him. A white blur jumped out of his desk and out the window. Naruto stared at the dog-boy quizzically before skipping over excitedly.

"Hi! I'm Naruto! What's your name?" He asked, his bright smiled gracing his face once again.

The boy looked up. Naruto instantly looked at his cheeks, which had red fangs tattooed on each side.

"I'm Inuzuka Kiba." Naruto smiled at him once more before sitting down as the teacher started talking.

"Well, new kid, in case you still don't know, I'm Kakashi Hatake. Kakashi-sensei, if you please. This will be your sophomore class, even though you only have about half a semester left of school before you're a junior." Kakashi-sensei paused and glanced up to the ceiling for a while, pondering.

"Ah yes. Have you gotten acquainted with the school layout yet?" Naruto shook his head, aware that everyone was staring at him.

Kakashi-sensei sighed and scratched the back of his head, "Let's see..." He looked around the room, searching for the most convenient face. Deciding on his choice, he said, "Well, Kiba'll show you around this whole day since you're gonna sit next to him for the rest of the year anyways. Okay Kiba?"

Kiba rolled his eyes, totally predicting this, "Yeah yeah, sure sensei."

Throughout the whole conversation that they just HAD to have in front of everyone and waste class time, Sasuke concentrated his gaze on Naruto who sat three desks to his left. After unconsciously staring at him for about five minutes, even after the conversation, Naruto suddenly glanced over to him, startling him out of his blank stare.

Sasuke, not wanting to be caught gawking at someone stupidly, gave the blond a glare and looked back to the front of the room. Something about the blond was irking him, but deciding that it wasn't that important, he shoved the feeling back and concentrated on the lesson again.

Naruto kept staring at the dark, brooding boy that had just glared at him for no reason. He was pretty good looking, with a delicate yet strong air around him. Not knowing what he had done to deserve that glare, he just shrugged it off. Maybe he didn't like new kids? Whatever, he'll just try to avoid him; he didn't seem like the friendly type.
