31. Squeal
Sasuke brushed the hair out of his eyes to hide the twitch in his brow. A girl on the far side of the room let out a squeal of excitement. The girl sitting in the front row was overcome with a fit of giggles not a moment later. A wad of paper was launched from the seat of the boy in the back corner of the room, landing squarely on a smaller boy's head. More than ten years since he had been in the academy and nothing had changed at all.
Taking deep, calming breaths, Sasuke went back over his morning and all the "advice" that Naruto had tried to give him. Naruto had woken him up slowly with kisses on his face. It had been nice, relaxing, and a good memory to hold. First, Naruto had told him that he should not be afraid to throw things at his class. This seemed to be reasonable, as Sasuke could remember countless times that Iruka had nearly killed a student.
His second piece of advice had been… less than helpful. Naruto had said, grinning, that all one needed to do to be successful was wear a confident smile. Sasuke had tried to glower and ignore this, but Naruto's face was nearly glowing and he had found that he could focus on nothing else. Even now, it was strangely difficult to get that image out of his head.
Sighing, Sasuke began his first day of teaching with a forced smile on his face. "Ok, class, I know today is your first day at the Academy, but please… try to contain yourselves." This statement, just as it had on his first day of Academy, had little-to-no impact on the children at all.
Sasuke glared at the class, waited a few more moments for them to calm down, before throwing a kunai with unique precision at a target in the back of the classroom. Everyone was immediately silent. A smile slowly spread across Sasuke's face. This would not be so bad. The boy in the back corner of the class pinched the girl sitting next to him and she gave a cry so loud Sasuke thought he would go deaf. He rubbed his temples, trying to put of the oncoming headache. It was going to be a long day.
