A/N: Yo! Okay, so I must start this chapter off with a story about writing the last chapter. So I learned yesterday that you DO NOT leave your laptop down stairs in the kitchen when you have family over when you go to the bathroom…you also NEVER leave the current story you are working on open on said laptop. Also you DO NOT leave your father (if you have a father like mine) alone with said laptop with said story open. My father tried to help me write the last chapter…I walked away and when I came back he said that he helped and the dialogue was so stupid…basically he made Naruto call Kaze mean names…I died a little inside and glared at him for the rest of the evening. He found it quite funny…I did too but shhh don't tell him that.

Okay! So I also have to say…WHAT THE HELL?! How is this story getting such good reviews and stats…I have more alerts on this than on Distraction…and Distraction is 20 chapters so far!!

And I need to say…no, Tsunade and Jiraiya are not Naruto's real parents…I shall explain it all later.
And I need to say…yes, Naruto is smart…I'm tired of people making him dumb…he is a bit of a genius in this.

Okay…LEE!!

Lee: YES MY BLOND HAIRED GODDESS!!

TAKE US AWAY LEE!! (Yes…I am actually like this…I am as loud if not louder than Lee!)

Lee: THE BEAUTIFUL SHEL-SAMA: QUEEN OF THE GEEKS AND DUCHESS OF YOAI DOES NOT OWN NARUTO/ HALO/ XBOX OR XBOX LIVE…ONLY THIS CONCEPT AND STORY!! Did I do good?!

Yes Lee…you did! Now get those sexy eyebrows over here!

Lessons

Naruto was slammed into a rolling chair in between Kaze and the brunette that had yelled at Kiba in the previous class. The girl instantly turned on him and began to interrogate him and size him up with pupil-less, light lavender eyes.

"So Naruto…where did you move from? Why did you move? What's your last name again? Your eyes are really blue…are the contacts? What's with the scars on your cheeks? Do you like dogs?"

"Mars…leave the poor boy alone…it's too early in the morning to become annoying like that." Scolded a pale boy as he slid into the chair behind her. He had long brown, almost black hair, and eyes that matched the hyper girl.

"Aww! Neji! Don't be so mean! Big brother's mean! Waaaa!" Neji rolled his eyes and turned to Naruto.

"So what's your name?"

"Naruto Uzumaki."

"Neji Hyuuga…and I guess you've already met my little sister Mars." Naruto nodded and Neji continued, "She's a big eccentric…I suggest you don't get to close, she might bite, and she hasn't had her shots." Mars stuck out her tongue and continued to pout.

The door to the arts room burst open and a tall boy with black, bowl cut hair and very bushy eyebrows rushed in. He sprinted up to take his seat beside Kaze at the back of the room, "Kaze my love! How was you're first class?! Did you miss me?!"

Kaze - who Naruto had just previously thought was somewhat normal - leapt into his arms and hugged him, "Yes Lee! I missed you with all my fires of youth! Math bores me…I say we must do 20 laps around the football field at lunch to replenish my youth!"

"Yes my sweet! But why only 20, when we could do 30!"

"Yes! 30 laps! Yosh!" (1)

Naruto turned to Neji, "I'm scared."

"You get used to it."

The teacher, dressed all in black and grey, walked into the classroom, "Alright class, sit down. We have a new student joining us today, Naruto Uzumaki. Where are you Naruto?" The blond raise his hand, and the young teacher fixed his eyes on him, his expression suddenly becoming very hungry, "Ahh…welcome Naruto. I am Sai…I prefer that my students call me by my first name, last names kill creativity."

"Umm…okay sir."

The class hissed. Kaze leaned over, "Sir is just as bad…it's too formal."

"Oh…umm…sorry."

"Oh, no problem Naruto." Sai smiled and addressed the rest of the class, "You all know what you are doing. Get to work, we have 80 minutes. Kaze, please show

Naruto the project."

Kaze beamed at him, "You're lucky, he explained it yesterday, so we haven't started yet. We are just starting masks! I was the model yesterday (2) so Lee and I can do yours, and you can help with Lee's"

He smiled back at her, "Okay, sweet!" The whole class was filled with talking and laughing as everyone started to wet plaster and stick it to each other's faces. Naruto proved to be very clumsy and messy, managing to trip and spill not only water all over himself, but damp plaster strips as well.

The blond was in the bathroom, scrubbing his damp shirt on the counter with paper towel, when a full-bladdered Uchiha decided to make his appearance in the bathroom. Sasuke was stopped dead by the sight, completely forgetting about his need of the lavatory.

Naruto stood before him, eyes scrunched in frustration, naturally tanned upper body bare. Sasuke shook his head to clear it and get rid of the light blush - not that he noticed it - and noticed the state of the blonds pants, "Who raped you?" he asked as he found a urinal.

"Hmm?" Sasuke motioned to the white splattered pants.

"What? Oh…no…it's not…it's plaster from art. I tripped."

"If you say so, but that art teacher has a thing for blonds, so I'd watch out." the raven advised as he began to was his hands.

"Ha, ha, very funny." Sasuke leaned up against the counter.

"So…I heard your mom say that you have an XBOX…you a Halo guy?"

"You know it man! It's my life!"

"You any good?"

"I think so…you?

"I guess…there's just one guy I can't beat on Live."

"Who's that?"

"Raven." Sasuke smirked.

Naruto laughed, whipping the smirk off his lips; though Naruto never even saw the smirk to begin with, "Raven's easy, you just have to play to his weakness."

"And what would that be?"

"He hesitates…before he shoots. Plus he always uses the same gun…you just have to use a better one. (3)"

"I see, I see. I'll try using that. Thanks."

"No problem…it's funny to see him lose…he gets so frustrated." Sasuke turned to leave, but was stopped by the blond, "Hey! If you need anymore help, just ask!"

"Yea, sure…thanks again." (4) The brunette plastered himself against the wall after he closed the door to the washroom, smiled to himself. 'Finally…he doesn't realize that 'Kyuubi' is the only one who can beat me…I just have to fix those little habits and I will finally be able to beat him.' He walked down the hall, grinning inside, hardly being able to wait until the night.

(1) I have actually said that in class before…actually…I say Yosh, Youth, Datte Bayo (spelling?), and many other things that no one but Narutards will recognize, in class on a daily basis…my teachers and classmates don't even react anymore when I say things like that…or spray paint my hair in the morning (neon pink, blue, yellow, and/or orange can't hurt)
(2) I was in fact my art teacher's model for our masks project…I got to sit up at the front for half the class with plaster all over my face, it was awesome.
(3) I will elaborate later
(4) I just realized how OC I make Sasuke in this…oh well
