I woke up in a ball in the middle of the bed. My face felt like an anvil had fallen on it. I got up and got dressed and grabbed my back-pack. I walk for the front door keeping my eyes straight ahead. My uncle stopped me. "Look at me Sasuke." he said. I looked at him, he continued " I'm sorry for what I did last night."

He did this as well, every time after our fights he would apologize to keep me quiet. But he already knew I wouldn't rat him out, because he's the only person I have left. "It's ok." I lied. " I can't even feel it…"

"You better hurry and get to the bus stop…" he told me.

"ok…." I said back as I walked the few steps out of the house.

I was the first of our nationhood to get to the stop. But right as I turned to see if anyone was coming sakura from a few doors down was walking down the side walk towards me. She looked happy to see me, but when she got closer her face looked worried. "oh my god!" she exclaimed "what happened to your face!"

"…Nothing I fell on the pavement the other day.." I lied hoping she bought it.

She looked skeptical "right…pavement…" "Have you even seen it?"

"No…" I said. She took a little make-up mirror out of her purse. " wow that's a shiner'er." I said mournfully

"Do you want a little bit of make-up to hide it?" She asked me sympathetically.

I thought about it for a moment on how I wanted to start my first day of school in konoha.. "Yea if you could help me Sakura it would be awesome.." She fixed my face up with a new layer of lies while we waited for the bus. I set my brain on cruise control the whole way to school, trying to prep myself for the things to come praying that my junior year wouldn't be that bad. Luckily I had the first three hours with sakura, then it was fourth hour history I walked in and hoped their would be a open seat in a corner to the back..there were three left in the last row to the wall so I sat near the window. Then a girl with long blonde hair and light blue eyes sat in front of me and then the tarty bell rang and the teacher got up to start roll call when a blonde boy with scars on his face that resembled whiskers ran into the class and tripped on his way to the last open seat..behind me.

"Oh god this guy's gonna be a trouble maker." I thought to myself.

The teacher went through the names he called "Naruto Uzumaki."

"Here!" called the blond boy behind me.

"Sasuke Uchiha?" he called

"Here." I said in a low voice

After he completed roll call he did the same thing all the other teachers did and went through class rules and what is expected of us.

"So..Sasuke?" I heard from behind me.. "You new?"

I half turned in my seat to see the blonde boy named naruto staring at me. "Ya..your names Naruto? Right?" I whispered back to him.

"Right!" He whispered back gleaming. "So you like it here in Konoha?"

"Ya its ok I guess, its really pretty here in the evenings."

"Konoha is even more beautiful in the winter." he said, spacing out a little. " So….why did you move to Konoha in the first place?"

My face deadened at the question. "My parents died…." My voice trailed off.

Naruto's face grew solemn too "oh…im so sorry…"

"It's fine…they died a couple months ago…now ..I live with my uncle…" I tried to keep the conversation going in fear of losing this new friend. But right after I had said that the bell had rang, and everyone was piling as fast as they could out of the class. I turned to get out of my seat and grab my things, when I looked up Naruto was still looking straight ahead spaced off again. "Naruto? The bell rang." I told him.

He jumped slightly in his chair, blinked a couple times then looked down at me. "OH! Hehehe." he chuckled and gathered his things. " I guess I'll see you later Sasuke!"

"Ya….later." I called back.

* * * *

It was finally lunch hour, I searched out Sakura in the crowed. I spotted her sitting with some people I recognized. The long blonde haired girl from history, the boy with tattoos under both eyes, and the boy with huge eyebrows. Then there was….Naruto…. I stopped in my tracks when I saw him. I felt kinda weird inside, I didn't understand it at all. He looked up and saw me and yelled " HEY! SASUKE!"

I slowly walked over there and sat beside Sakura and across from Naruto. "So Sasuke? How was your first day so far?" Asked Sakura

"It's been better than I thought it would be! "I laughed.

She laughed back "Well let me introduce you to my best friend Ino, Kiba her boyfriend and his friend Lee. They all motioned to me and I waved back. " and this is Naruto, the biggest idiot you'll ever meet!" She smiled and laughed. I turned to see Naruto's face in his ramen bowl slurping up the noodles.

Naruto looked up with a noodle on his nose and smiled " We've already met, we have fourth hour together!" he said slurping the noodle of his nose.

"Ya." I said to Sakura

"Aww that cool!" said Sakura "See your making friends already!"

"How do you know Sakura?" Naruto asked me.

"She's my neighbor, we hung out some over the summer." I replied

"Really?" "I only live three blocks from you then!" He said

"I didn't see you on my bus, do you drive?" I asked

"Ya I do"

"Cool"

"Ya we should all get together sometime." he told everyone at the table.

"Bells about to ring." groaned Kiba.

"Damn, that sucks!" said Sakura.

"Guess I'll see you guys later then." I said. I walked to my next class wondering what that feeling in my stomach was.

I didn't see any of my new friends till last hour. I had Sakura, Kiba, Ino, and Naruto. "Hey guys." I said.

"Hey!" they all chimed. I quickly grabbed a seat near Naruto not really thinking on it.

"So how you liking Konoha high Sasuke?" Naruto asked with his hand under his chin.

"Pretty cool, it's a big school." I told him.

"Ya, so you want to come hang-out with all of us after school?"

"Sure, that would be awesome!" I said, really happy to have made new friends so fast. It also a reason to stay away from my uncles for a little bit longer. I thought.

"I think we should go to Konoha square!" said Ino.

"Sounds good to me" said Sakura

We all eagerly waited for school to end, when the bell rang everyone at our table ran for the door.

"who's taking who?" asked Sakura

Ino said "Im taking kiba and lee."

"I can take you and Sasuke." said Naruto. The first car that caught my eye was the one we were going to, it was a shiny new looking red convertible corvette.

"Wow Naruto! Your family must be rich!" I exclaimed.

"Ya I guess! Hehehe" he laughed and got in. Sakura got in the back and I got in the passenger side. He started up the car and music boomed in to the car and we all jumped.

"SORRY!!!" He said "Hehehe I guess I forgot to turn it down."

"NARUTO!!" screamed Sakura and she punched him on the top of the head and his head hit the horn on the steering wheel scaring everyone in the parking lot around the corvette. I laughed at them both and they joined in soon after.

* * * * * *

When we reached the square we went to the coffee shop called the yellow box. We sat for at least three hours and all of us talked and laughed having lots of fun. When it started getting dark we all broke up and started for home. Since Naruto didn't live far from me and Sakura he gave us a ride home. When we got to Sakura's house she got out and said bye to us and we drove two houses down.

"I had a lot of fun tonight Naruto…" I said

He looked at me " ya we should do this more."

I started sweating, not knowing why. Naruto looked so good, his blonde messy hair gleamed, his blue eyes looked like they held oceans in them. I looked at his slightly bulging muscles. Wait!! Why am I looking at Naruto this way?? I thought

"What? Is there something on my face?" he wiped his mouth really quickly.

"No, I was thinking…" I said to him. I wiped my own cheek to remove some of the sweat. Naruto's eyes grew wide suddenly.

"Oh God! What happened?" he was staring at my face.

Crap! I thought. I must of wiped off the make-up!

"N-N-Nothing! I fell!…Its getting late my uncles gonna be mad that I haven't started cooking!" I reached for the door handle and started getting out. Naruto grabbed my wrist.

"Hey, You need anything, anything at all, you got me..k?" he said his face full of concern.

"…Thanks…Naruto…"I whispered as I got out and ran to the front door, I looked back and Naruto waved and drove off. I sighed confused at what I was feeling. I walked into the house.

"Where you been?" Uncle Kohei said

"Sorry, Some new friends were showing me Konoha Square." I said quickly not wanting to ruin my good day. "I'll start dinner now."

The rest of the night I spent in m room thinking about why I felt this way for the blonde boy. I fell asleep fully dressed on the top of the covers, and dreamt about the blue eyed boy.
