A/N: Sorry I haven't updated in the longest time, but I just have no ideas what-so-ever for this! But I'm going to give it my all for this chapter! But I did try to type it up last night, only to find out that I was typing the same thing from the last chapter. It was for 2-3 hours too. I almost smashed the computer after I found out. So anyway, here's the next chapter!

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto!


The next couple of hours seemed to drag on forever for Naruto, his anticipation for what was to come at Shikamaru's house never faltering. Afer TA Naruto had followed his class to Science class, where his teacher, Asuma, did little more than assign Naruto a seat and tell him that they were just starting Kinematics and Dynamics.

For the full hour and 30 minutes that he had science, he mulled over everything and anything he could think of. He thought of the fold marks in his lined paper and how they might have been caused, to the cigaret, burning ever so slowly in Asuma's mouth. It amazed Naruto to know end that it never fell out.

Naruto, after 3 minutes, couldn't think of anything else to randomly go off about in this head, so he started scanning the class room, looking for absolutely anything that would take his mind off of science class. His eyes fell on the raven haired kid that he thought looked like a stuck up prick. He realized that this boy seemed totally out of it. His hands were woven together, his elbows propped up on the desk, and his chin resting on the little bed made by the backs of his hands. Naruto watched as he attempted to drill holes into the chalkboard, sitting lazily on the wall.

Asuma's voice carried on throughout the room full of distracted teens as the second hand of the clock above his head seemed to tell him just ho many treasured hours he was wasting in this hell hole that was apparently positioned here on earth to keep him board for the rest of his life. Or at least the best portion of it.

Naruto checked the clock that was still ticking away at his life span and realized that it had only been 25 minutes since the first day of school had started and he was already praying for summer vacation to begin. He sighed and turned his head to his right, focusing his gaze back onto the raven, who was still failing at burning holes into the teaching tool at the front of the room.

His thoughts were finally distracted, trying to devise a perfect prank to pull on the boy who looked like he thought that he was way to cool to be taught in the same building as the rest of the kids.

Half way through his ingenious plan, somewhere between the part when a bucket of chilli was dumped over his head and when he slipped on a banana peel and fell on some unsuspecting popular chick the bell rang, signaling the start of the next class, and another hour and a half of salvaging his soul.

"Come on Naruto! We have Math next!" Came the voice of a certain pink hared girl beside him pushing him out of his seat and into the now crowded hallway.

Naruto's groan did not go unnoticed by the girl leading him to his doom, and was challenged with a huff of what could be perceived as annoyance.

"It's not that bad! I mean, it's not even that hard, you can't hate it that much." Sakura tried to convince the sun kissed boy while maneuvering him through the sea of ignorant kids.

"It is, I can, and I do." Came the simple reply from the blond as he barely made it through a particularly crowded patch in the hallway. "And I wanted to ask you a question Sakura-chan. I mean, if it's not to much trouble."

Sakura indicated that he could ask as they turned left and started down the stairs that were hidden behind the beige door.

"Who's the black haired, pale, Emo, stuck up bastard in our class?" Naruto dead panned.

Sakura stopped in her tracks. A dark aura surrounded her causing Naruto to lean back and fall onto the reinforced stairs beneath him. Sakura slowly turned to face him, her eyes closed and her hands clenched into fists.

"Don't. You. DARE. Call Sasuke-kun; Emo, stuck up, OR a bastard, EVER again. Do you here me? If you do, you will wish that you had never even heard my name before. I swear it! ARE WE CLEAR!?" Sakura shrieked at the cowering boy on the stairs. No one talked badly about Sasuke while she was there, and new kid or not, he needed to know this.

After her little outburst, Sakura's evil aura that could probably kill Hitler himself within a hundred mile radius disappeared and a kind smile shot up onto her face. "So shall we go to math now Naruto?"

"S..su...sure." Naruto stuttered while heaving himself off the stairs and following Sakura to the bottom of them.

They both walked through the door, Naruto still making a mental note not to ever get on her bad side or make her angry with him ever again.

"Shit!" Sakura swore quietly as she looked around the now empty hallway.

"Why? What is it?" Naruto asked the fretting girl as he too looked around to see no other students. 'I don't see anything."

"That's exactly it Naruto! Don't you get it!" She started, focusing all her anger on Naruto. "There's no one in the hallway, that means we're late. That means that we are going to get detention. This means that I wont be able to ask Sasuke-kun out. This means that we are going to break one of the oldest rules in school. One that even the people who have no idea that there even is a student hand book know about. 'No running in the hallways'"

And with that Sakura took off down the hallway, tearing around the corner, Naruto not far behind her.

"There it is!" Sakura cried out in triumph, pointing at the door at the end of the hallway in front of them. "Maybe...Just maybe, we can get off with just a warning, but only if we hurry!"

Naruto took this as a cue to speed up a little, and in less than a second passed Sakura completely and started putting space between them. He reached the door and yanked it open, standing aside to let the pink haired girl who was trying desperately to catch up with him, through.

Sakura burst through the door and stood just inside of it panting as if she had just ran a marathon. After about a minute of panting she looked up at her teacher and the rest of the class that was starring at her funny. She just smiled at them and walked to her seat, mumbling a quick "sorry" to her amused teacher.

Naruto, who had come into the classroom without any sweat on his brow or panting heavily was talking with his new math teacher, who seemed to be enjoying his company more than he had anyone's since any of the students had met him. Naruto than turned back to the class and walked to the seat that his new math teacher had assigned him.

He sat down with his eyes closed and sighed. Sure he liked his new math teacher, but come one! Math was his second worst subject! He was aloud to hate such a horrible thing! Despite his reluctance he opened his eyes , only to come face to face with spiky onyx hair that looked like it was bout to attack him. His new math seat was right behind Sasuke.

Naruto huffed in annoyance, this was going to be the longest class of his life! Being stuck behind a bastard and all, so he just let his mind wander, only to remember that he was going to be joining Shikamaru and some others for lunch. This only got him excited and would make this class a living hell, for when Naruto was excited, he could never keep his eyes off the clock, and everyone knows that, that just makes it seem like time is against you and it takes just that much longer until the thing your waiting for comes.

While still eyeing the clock he made a pillow with his arms and slumped his head down into it as his math teacher was droning on about some odd math concept that just couldn't occupy his mind.

Naruto was tempted to go bang his head into a wall, but decided against it, seeing as though all that would probably do for him is give him a headache, and that would just top off the perfection of this day for him. So instead he wrenched his eyes away from the clock and began to size up the figure of Sasuke in front of him. The one thing that Naruto thought was curious about Sasuke was that he didn't slouch. All of the kids he had ever met slouched, boy girl, it didn't matter, they all leaned over or onto there desks never keeping there backs straight for long, but this guy, was just the opposite. He never once curved his spine, unless reaching over to get something, his shoulders were parallel to each other, and he seemed to have no malfunctions in his body. No twitching problem, smooth skin, hair that stayed in place, and he could sit still.

'He's not a kid!' thought Naruto, who was thoroughly freaked out by Sasuke's ability to sit still for more than 5 minutes. 'he's like an old, strict business man trapped inside a teenagers body! ...OK, EW! That just sounded wrong, even in my head.'

And with the odd thoughts of Sasuke plaguing his brain math class ticked on by with the second hand of the clock.
