"Ok take your positions everyone. Let's start with the story. Sasuke? Where is Sasuke?"
"Hn. Here."
"Don't Hn me. Okay! Now. Where is the NARRATOR?"
"Geez, such a drag. It's you who's the narrator. Did u forget?"
"Oh, of course! Sorry. Eheh. ..Uhum… Let's start. So everybody ready? … Good. Aaanndddd—"
"Wait, where's the disclaimer?"
"Oo. Ya. Ehe. Forgot. Thanks Shika. So who is doing the disclaimer?"
"Ooo, me me!"
"Ok Naruto, start."
" Ok. Hm hm. TomBoyGal does not own Naruto. She just owns this story. If it holds any resemblance to any other stories it would just be pure coincidence."
"You forgot to say 'Thank You'."
"YA. And that too. Hmm, it feels weird to call out your own name."
"I'm surprised you spat that much words dobe."
"What did'ya SAY TEME?"
"Leave that for later. Let's start!"
BRRRIIINNNNGGGG!
Sasuke gave a lazy yawn and rolled to his side, the alarm screaming loudly beside his ears. He made a angry face and stopped the alarm, watching the time with one eye open. It was 5.30 in the morning. He threw the phone back to his bedside and went back to sleep, covering himself in his blanket.
"SASUKE WAKE UP!" his mother called out as soon as he exhaled out a breath. "I don't want you to be late on your first day at school."
Sasuke gave a lazy sigh. He had just shut the alarm off to get some peaceful sleep, and here goes another one. He sat up in his bed, still feeling sleepy. How he wished if he could snooze out this alarm.
"SASUKE! I'm not going to tell you twice! You better start getting ready for school" came his mother's angry voice.
Sasuke tumbled from his bed as he hurried to get down. The last thing he wanted was to get his mother angry. He threw his blanket on the bed and slid across the room, rubbing his eyes.
"I have kept your uniform on the railing. And don't forget to have your milk before you leave." His mother told, as Sasuke headed towards the basin, half sleepy.
He came out from bath and shivered from the morning cold. He grabbed his clothes and ran in his room as fast as he could. He saw his brother still sleeping in his bed.
Lucky, Sasuke thought and put on his uniform. He grabbed his sack and headed downstairs, tie in his hand. It was a readymade clip tie and he didn't bother putting it on.
"Don't forget your milk." His mother called out from their bedroom.
"Tch."
What did she think he was? A baby who needed milk before leaving for school? But he better not say it aloud and erupt the volcano. Instead, he just drank the milk hastily and put his sack on his shoulders.
"I'm leaving" he called out and not even bothering to wait for a reply, took the keys of his bicycle and pulled the door close behind him. He watched the other door in front of him. He remembered his mother saying that there was a kid in that house who was to be his classmate. But he wasn't anywhere to be seen yet.
Has he already left? Sasuke thought and checked his watch. It was 6.30 and school was going to start at 7. No. There's still time. I'm already early, thanks to mom, and I don't think anyone will leave for school sooner than this.
Whatever, he thought later. As if I care. And he headed down the stairs.
He took his bicycle, a Hercules AXN, and headed for his school. He knew where it was. His father had shown him when they were returning back from dinner. It was just half a kilometer away. Almost 7 minutes ride on his bike.
10 minutes if it wasn't me, he thought and smirked.
He reached the school and went to park his cycle, only to find only three cycles other than his in the stand.
I knew I was early, he thought as he parked his cycle in the boys section, where, there was only one cycle.
The school was wide and big, but it didn't have classes on the top, only the terrace. It was a big decagonal shape with three large grounds. One on the inside and two on the outside. Most of the school was surrounded with the ground.
He went towards the main gate of the school, sack on his shoulder. He had put on his tie. He entered the school and saw that students had now started to come. He searched for his classroom.
9th grade, 9th grade. Ok. So here it is. Hmm, not too far from the office. One class beyond it, he thought as he headed towards the classroom with a board on top of it saying , '9th Grade' in bold letters.
Sasuke entered the class only to find just one person in the class. He had spiky black hair and small round goggles on his eyes. He hadn't noticed Sasuke enter the class.
Looks weird, Sasuke thought.
He chose to seat on the second last bench of the last row, near the windows. The bench was big enough for two people to sit on. He sat on the bench and kept his sack on his side.
As soon as he sat, students started to fill in the school and his new class. Sasuke turned his head to watch the grounds out of the windows instead of his new classmates who were entering the class. The students entered the class, filling it completely with laughter and chatter. The boys near Sasuke suddenly noticed the new face in their daily crowd.
"Hey, check out, looks like he is a new kid." The one with spiky hair and face tattoos said.
"C'mon, let's ask him his name." the chubby one said.
"I don't think that's a good idea, Chouji. He doesn't seem the friendly types." The one with a spiky pony and a bored face said.
"C'mon, it won't hurt I guess. Let's give it a try." The tattooed said and he went towards Sasuke.
"Hey, I'm Kiba. I guess you are new in school. So what's your name?" he said with a smile.
"Uchiha, Sasuke." He said blankly, looking out of the window.
Kiba wasn't much impressed with Sasuke's first impression. He thought it rude that Sasuke didn't even look at him and showed no interest whatsoever in talking.
"Hey, and I'm Chouji! Nice to meet you." The chubby one said.
"Hn." Sasuke replied.
"Well, that are all our friends there." Chouji said pointing towards the boy's group, "They would like to meet you."
Sasuke didn't reply anything. They had already started to trouble him.
"Sorry, but I'm not interested." Sasuke replied, still watching out of the window.
"Oh..kay," Chouji replied awkwardly, not knowing what to say, and went back to the others with Kiba.
"He's cute, isn't he, Forehead?" a blond girl with long pony tail said to a pink headed one with short hair.
The pink haired looked at the direction her friend was staring in and saw a new face, sitting in the row just beside her and one bench back from her own. He had nice built and slender, pale face which totally matched his expressions. His raven dark, chicken-butt hair suiting his onyx eyes and his pale face. He was, actually cute, and not to mention handsome too. But Sakura wasn't the types who stared at boys to see how cute they were. Actually she wasn't the types to stare at boys at all.
"Yeah, maybe, Ino-Pig." She replied, not showing a change of expression as she continued to do what she was doing before Ino interrupted her. " But not much of an interest for me."
Ino looked at her annoyingly. "You never thought any boy was interesting for you."
"I'm just not interested in that stuff." Sakura said, still continuing her work.
"Yeah, yeah. It beats me how you can ignore such cute faces."
"It beats me how you can actually keep looking at them."
"Ha ha funny. The Not-Interested-in-Boys Sakura has answer for every question."
"The Always-staring-at-Boys Ino never talks anything but senseless."
"Whatever. But C'mon. I guess every girl who has seen him, must think he is cute!"
"I guess it's only you who thinks that."
"Hey, that new boy's cute, isn't he?" a dark haired girl asked Ino and Sakura as she joined them. She too, was staring at Sasuke. Ino gave a wide smile, saying 'told ya'. Sakura sighed and continued her work. These girls, really, she thought.
Everyone got to their places hurriedly as soon as the bell rang. The teacher,who had a scar across his nose, came in.
"Good Morning, Sensei" Everyone called out, standing in their positions. Sasuke just stood, not even wishing good morning.
"Good Morning, students," the teacher said, "as you might have already noticed, we have a new student joining us in this new academic year. I would like to introduce him to you and I hope you all will get along with him well." He turned towards Sasuke and called him in front of the class. "Why don't you introduce yourself to your new classmates, Sasuke?" he said.
Sasuke was not at all interested in this. He went forward and without looking at the class said, "My name is Sasuke Uchiha. I'm here because of my dad's transfer who is a Police Officer."
"Thank you, Sasuke. You may sit on your place now." The teacher said, "Now let's start with the attendance. Okay, Aburame Shino?"
Sasuke walked to his seat and continued staring out of the window. How much more boring was this going to be?
"Uzumaki Naruto?" the teacher called out twice. The name caught Sasuke's attention. He thought he had heard Uzumaki somewhere. He searched the class to see who stood up when the name was called. But no one stood up.
"Where is Naruto? Naruto Uzumaki?" the teacher called out angrily.
And then it clicked Sasuke, he had read that name on the name plate of his neighbors. The Uzumakis. And suddenly the class room door opened.
"Present, SENSEI!" a blonde boy called out from the threshold. He had weird whisker marks on his face and standing spiky blonde hair.
"NARUTO! I can't believe you are late again! That too on your first day of school!" the teacher called out angrily.
"I'm sorry Iruka sensei, you know I just couldn't sleep whole night because of this excitement and well, eheh, I didn't wake up in time." The blonde named Naruto said, scratching his head stupidly.
" I just don't know what to do about you Naruto. Well, go sit on your place for now, and don't be late next time. Understand?" Iruka said.
"Yes SIR!" he replied with a saluting hand, and smiling stupidly went towards his seat.
Idiot, thought Sasuke and went back to staring out of the window.
"HEY, why are you sitting on my seat? And who are you by the way?" Naruto said to Sasuke as he stood beside his bench.
"Excuse me? You were the one who was late. How come this became your seat?" Sasuke replied.
"Every year it's me who sits on this bench! I'm not going to break my streak."Naruto said taking his face in front of Sasuke's.
"Since how many years are you in this class? Ten years? Dobe." Sasuke said facing him and giving an evil smirk.
"ARgghhh! You know I didn't mean that!" Naruto spat out angrily at Sasuke. "Now get the hell out of my seat you jerk or I'll make you pay for it!"
"Hn, try me." Sasuke replied narrowing his eyes at Naruto.
"That's enough!" Iruka sensei broke in, "Naruto, that is not the type of behavior I will accept with new students. You better say sorry to him."
"But-But sensei, that Teme sat on my seat. And there's no way I'm going to say sorry to a jerk like him." Naruto said with annoyed face.
"Naruto!" the angry sensei said. "I told you I will not accept this behavior. As to about your seat, he is right. You were the one who was late. Don't complain about it now."
"But sensei, there isn't any other seat left," Naruto said, "because of him, I won't get a seat."
"Hmm, that's right." the sensei said, holding his chin thoughtfully, "Well, I guess there's just one solution to this problem. You both will share a seat."
"NO WAY!" Both of them called out, Sasuke standing on his seat.
"That is the only solution." The teacher said matter-of-factly, "It will be a punishment for you Naruto, for not behaving with new students and also, it will help you both to get along well."
Naruto and Sasuke stared at each other, flames rising in their eyes.
"I don't think that is going to go well." Kiba thought, looking at the bench diagonally opposite to his.
"Geez, another pain in the ass" Shikamaru, who sat behind their seat, thought as he saw the current developing in their eyes while staring at each other.
The classes went on, with Naruto and Sasuke constantly giving wild stares to each other, and the often stares of the class, who were hoping to see a new quarrel flame up the next second.
Everyone knew Naruto wasn't the types to get along well with new students. And this one looked like the types not to be messed up with. Naruto called on trouble and ran into it at every corner. What was going to happen later, was only to be hoped for.
The boys, especially, were relieved to hear the recess bell ring. The sooner Naruto was away from Sasuke, the better.
"Oh yeah! Finally time to get my body warmed up!" Naruto called out as everyone got up from their seats, and ran outside the class. Sasuke was relieved to get rid of him. Really, relieved. He thought of sitting in the classroom for the rest of the recess, it was only for 5 minutes anyways, but changed the thought immediately after noticing the increasing number of girls in the class.
He went out of the class, walking through the corridor. He reached the front of the school and saw the running faces of students on the school grounds. He looked at the soccer ground, and saw Naruto running after the ball, calling out to his team mates. He was playing really well, and Sasuke was astonished at that fact.
"WAIT!" called out a pink haired girl and a made a dive for the ball from the attack line, skillfully lifting it and hitting it past the net. Sasuke's gaze fell on the Volleyball ground, where the girls were playing a friendly game.
"Nice shot, Sakura!" her team mates cheered.
She looked one of the best players of their team and really good at her skills. Sasuke saw her game. Controlled, focused and energetic. She was playing amazingly. He just gave a smile to himself, impressed by her play, and continued to watch the other grounds.
"Hey, Sasuke! C'mon, let's head together." Chouji called out, as they were unlocking their bicycles. Sasuke joined the boys. He had already got to know almost all of them in their lunch time and he didn't think they were much of annoyance as he had thought them to be.
"Why is he coming with us?" Naruto complained leaning on the bicycle handles.
"Shut up, Naruto, or we'll leave you behind." Kiba said, sitting on his bicycle.
"Yeah, Yeah. I just hope he leaves off to another road for his home." Naruto said to himself and started to paddle.
"So, Sasuke huh,?" Kiba said, as they started to paddle their bicycles, "Where do you live?"
"Konoha Residency" Sasuke replied, cycling his bicycle across the road. Kiba blinked and turned in Naruto's direction.
"Hey, that's where you live, isn't it Naruto?"
"What!" Naruto called out angrily, almost stumbling on his cycle. "Now I'll have to share an apartment with you too!"
"Hn." Sasuke had already figured that out when he had heard the teacher call out the name 'Uzumaki'. Gosh, now this moron was going to be his neighbor. What else was left now?
