Chapter 2: Friends, Crush, and Rival

Naruto stood next to the door of his home room, his eyes closed. He inhaled in deeply, trying to relax his muscles and nerves. After showing his powers to Tsunade, his body seemed a bit out of control. Relaxing his body, he thought deeply about the "talent" he had. He started to wonder if they were truly a talent, or just a demonic power that resided inside him. He was brought out of his thoughts when the door of the classroom swung open. His eyes opened swiftly and saw a man with silver hair and a book in his right hand. Naruto was unable to read the title but from the looks of it, it must've been a hentai book. Naruto sighed loudly catching the teacher's attention. The teacher move aside to let Naruto in and Naruto stepped inside only to find the whole class talking and not even caring about learning. Naruto looked back to the teacher and found him sitting with his feet on top of the desk and the hentai book in front of his face. This is a weird class. Naruto turned again to look at the class. A girl with short pink hair came up to him and greeted him. Immediately, Naruto had fallen for her. The sweetness in her voice and the jade green eyes of hers glittering angelically melted into his heart.

"Hi, my name is Haruno Sakura, what's yours?" she asked pleasantly.

"Uzumaki Naruto," Naruto replied grinning happily.

"Nice to meet you Naruto, you don't mind me calling you that right?"

"Nope, not at all, and in change can I call you Sakura-chan?"

"Sure."

"Sakura!" yelled a girl from behind.

She had blond hair, tied in a pony tail and had blue eyes.

"Hey Ino!" greeted Sakura.

"What're you going to get for Sasuke-kun for his birthday?" asked Ino.

"It's a secret."

"Aww. Who's that?"

"Oh, that's Naruto. He's a new kid."

"Oooh, well nice to meet you Naruto, I'm Ino!"

"Hi," said Naruto, "And, uhhh, who's is Sasuke-kun?"

"He's the cutest guy in school!" squealed Sakura.

"Yeah, we're his fan club!" squealed Ino.

"Eh?" was all Naruto could spill from his mouth.

The girl he liked, liked another guy! Damn, that sucks! If I knew how he looked like, I would tell him off! With that last thought, the door swung open and a boy with raven black hair and eyes to match, walked in. His eyes looked up from the ground and met with Naruto's azure eyes. Naruto was in aw as he saw the guy walk pass him, but his aw suddenly turned to anger when all the girls in the class came running to the guy and screaming "Sasuke-kun!" So that's Sasuke. Naruto walked through the crown and stood in front of him, face to face.

"You're Sasuke?" asked Naruto.

"Who're you?" he asked back.

"Answer me."

"…"

"Teme!"

"Urusai, you're annoying, dobe."

"Why you-eh?"

"Naruto was tackled away by all the girls.

"Stay away from him new kid!" yelled one girl.

"We won't let you hurt him!" yelled another.

"Wha-? Wait a mintute!" yelled Naruto.

"Che, what petty losers," said Sasuke.

Naruto had heard his rude comment and gotten angry. He didn't like this guy one bit at all. He had no idea why Sakura liked Sasuke. Naruto pushed back through the girls and got back in front of Sasuke. His hands swiftly moved to grab onto the collar of Sasuke's shirt. He pulled Sasuke forward making Sasuke grunt a little. Sasuke looked into Naruto's eyes, a face telling Naruto to let go if him or he'll get hurt.

"Teme, who do you think you are, calling these people petty losers, even though they crowd around you because they actually like you. You know, I hate people like you. You think you're above all the others, so you act cold towards them, you think you're god or something!" yelled Naruto in anger.

"And you know I hate people like you too. Always meddling in other people's business!" yelled Sasuke back and he shoved Naruto away.

Sasuke's shove was strong, making Naruto lose his grip and fall to the ground. Sasuke over towered and looked down on him as though he was some ant.

"People like should learn their place in life," said Sasuke and he glared at Naruto, "Che, I just wasted my time on you."

With that last caomment, Sasuke turned and walked to his desk not caring at all. Naruto glared after him but gave up when he didn't turn back to look. Naruto got up slowly, the girls gone and back in their own seats. He was about to pick up his book and a small hand grabbed it for him. He looked to see who it was, and saw a girl with short black hair and silver eyes. She smiled gently had him and handed his bag to him.

"Ah, arigatou," thanked Naruto as he grabbed his bag from her.

"Na…Naruto-kun…was it?" she whispered shyly.

"Uh, yeah, I'm Naruto, you?"

"Eh, uh, eto, Hi…Hinata…Hyuuga Hinata."

"Nice to meet you Hinata, and thanks for picking up my bag again, and luckily you're not one of those fan girls of Sasuke…are you?"

"N-no!"

Hinata blushed fiercely then turned around and ran back to her seat. Naruto raised an eyebrow as she took off. Okay? Naruto sighed again; this has got to be the millionth time I sighed today. Naruot looked to find a seat and found one, but unfortunately, it was the desk right besides Sasuke's. Naruto sighed again; I hate my life.
