"Achoo!" his finger rubbed his nose and the annoying itchy sensation rose. Perspiration was showing, his throat hurt and his cheeks were bright pink.
"Are you feeling okay Naruto?" the pink haired girl asked.
Not wanting to worry her, he smiled and was about to answer but was interrupted with a vicious cough.
"Naruto! You should stay home" She patted his back.
Placing, his hands on his knees, he took a deep breath. A faint scent of Sakura was in the air. It was a sweet aroma of flowers.
"Say, Sakura, did you put perfume on?" He lifted his head up.
"Oh, you can smell it?" she giggled, "I just wanted to try this out; make a good impression for the teacher"
"You mean him?"
"Yeah, if your talking about Mr. Uchiha" She combed her hair delicately untangling knots.
With his hands crossed on his back head, he said, "I don't know what you see in that guy. He's just a mean teacher. He gives us horrible grades, hard tests, and mountains of homework"
"Exactly" She said. Naruto gave her a weird look.
"That's why I'm trying to make a good impression. Even though I like him, my grades go first. I'm trying to get on the teacher's good side then maybe a little more than that"
"Well, good luck" He sneezed and they both went to class together.
"Class, we're going to learn about slopes. I'm sure, you would have learned about slopes from your previous teacher. This is different, were going to prove slopes, not showing it"
A groan can be heard from class. Mr. Uchiha twitched and sent that person to the dean's office. The silence was so great that if you drop a pin, you could hear the clear metallic rhythm of its sound.
As Uchiha was explaining about proving slopes, Naruto was twiddling his thumbs underneath his desk. He looked at the right and saw Sakura whispering something to Ino. 'They're probably talking about girl stuff or something' He wiped his nose and laid his head on the desk.
Bored out of his mind, he started reading the scars on the desk. The biggest marks had black ink in the holes.
"School is for homos"
"Call me"
"F you"
"Sasuke Uchiha is gay"
The last one amused Naruto the most. He chuckled softly at the comment. But then he noticed that Uchiha's first name was written down.
'I wonder how they got a hold of his first name' He pondered. Shrugging it off, he picked up a pen and started scratching on the side of his desk.
Leaving a large mark, he continued making the hole a lot bigger.
He was so in to his hole that he didn't notice the teacher in front of him.
"Uzumaki"
Naruto jumped, his pen was dropped as his heart stopped for a second.
"What are you doing?"
"I… uh"
Mr. Uchiha leaned over of what Uzumaki was doing. He read the marks on the desk.
'Oh man, he'll probably think those marks came from me' He sank low, his bangs covering his eyes as he waited for the worst.
"School is for homos; call me, F you… Sasuke Uchiha is gay?" Some laughed, some gasped, and the rest were quiet.
"I didn't write that honest!"
Mr. Uchiha didn't buy it, it's a bit obvious the way Naruto is positioned.
"So… you think I'm gay. Huh?" Naruto felt hot breath near his ear. He shivered.
"N-no. I think you're okay!"
"You think I'm okay? What kind of statement is that?"
"I mean I think- I don't know!"
Silence, Naruto looked up.
'Uh-oh he looks pissed'
Black orbs glinted and he straightened himself.
"Go to the Dean's"
"Yes sir"
He didn't bother arguing. Just looking at his eyes told him he doesn't want to take any crap.
"See me after class. Understand?"
"Yes"
He made his way out the door. He could feel everyone's eyes behind his back.
"Uzumaki"
"What sir?"
"Your belongings?"
He glanced over his backpack. How could he be so stupid?
Feeling dumb, he grabs hold of his belongings and bowed to the teacher. Mr. Uchiha gave a satisfying gratitude and made him leave.
He closed the door slowly which result it to creak. The lock was clicked and everyone went back to their work.
As he made his way to the Dean's, he sighed. Feeling a sneeze was coming, he shut his nose, blocking the sound. Eyes were watery and he wiped them away.
"234…235…236…237"
In room 237, he could see the dean.
He opened the door and popped his head in.
"Um… I got in trouble"
Naruto's not all worried about the Dean. In fact, he's the type of guy that gives positive remarks and just says to try not getting into trouble again. Although, he can be a bit weird sometimes…
"Hey! Naruto! Come right in!" His teeth glinted from the shine. It was strange how his teeth could shine like that. He had monstrous bushy eyebrows and his eyes can be a bit intimidating.
The blonde scratched the back of his head and sat on an empty seat. He wasn't alone.
The person who was previously been sent to the dean by Mr. Uchiha was here. He had marks under his eyes and he seems to wear a hood all the time even if it's against school rules.
"Hey Kiba" Naruto waved.
"Got in trouble too?"
"Yeah. How's Akamaru?"
"Doing fine. He's right here"
A small black nose can be viewed under Kiba's hood. The little white dog was sitting on Kiba's head hiding.
"Heh, you bring him? Aren't you worried you'll get caught?"
"Not to worry about. My buddy here's a good boy. He knows when he needs to be quiet."
Naruto grinned. Akamaru gave a quiet bark in return.
(End of class)
Naruto was walking home from school. Sakura said to him earlier that she was going shopping so she couldn't walk with him today.
His nose was still clogged, he really hate being sick.
'Especially if you're still going to school' he wiped his nose.
Wiping his feet from his door step, he stepped inside and called out to his mother just for her to know he's here.
"Uzumaki" the voice sounded annoyed and irritated.
That's right, it's tutoring. He turned his head to his teacher and waved hi.
"Uh… hi"
"Did you remember to meet me after class?"
"Meet you… after" And then it hit him.
'Holy crap! I forgot about that!
"Omg! I'm SO sorry! I forgot all about it I'm-"
A sneeze was building up inside his nose. It was too late to cover and he let it out loudly. He wiped his nose and blushed, he bowed apologetically.
And out of nowhere, a hand was placed on his forehead. Naruto blushed even harder.
"You look sick. Why did you come to school?"
He didn't say a word. Uchiha's hand is so warm.
His hand was taken away and a small whimper escaped from his mouth. Sasuke gave him a look like "Wtf was that for?" but shrugged it off.
(Tutoring started)
I gotta say, that was the most BORING chapter I have ever written. I'll try making it more interesting on the next one sorry!
The next chapter is when Naruto becomes lost in the blank and Mr. Uchiha helps him out. While he was lost he saw his old blank and blank, blank, blank.
You get the idea.
