Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto

Chapter 4

Naruto walked smoothly toward the school thirty minutes late already. No student was in sight. Naruto inwardly sighed in relief. He wasn't up to a crowd right now.

Not with the pent up anger he was feeling at the moment. He walked over to the admissions office and saw Tammy, the secretary, typing away at her computer.

She looked up at him up and down as her face broke into a seductive smile. He didn't miss the way she eyed him either but decided not to let it show. He jammed his hands into his pockets and leaned back against the wall.

"Late again Naruto kun." Tammy said with a light laugh in her voice. Naruto nodded curtly and was amused to see her face fall. He knew that she liked him. Most women did.

"My schedule Ms. Tammy." He merely replied.

She nodded quickly disappointment evident on her face and held it out for him. He lent forward and not missing the way her eyes twinkled as she leaned forward but was unable to move away as she pressed her lips onto his, slipping a box into his hands.

Tammy finally let him go and smiled as he quickly brushed off her lipstick off his lips in disgust. She laughed and Naruto twirled around and headed off without a backward glance..

Tammy was a well known slut around the school. She had had her eye on him for a while but Naruto ignored it. Just as he ignored the other girls who gave him looks of adoration.

He walked to the nearest water fountain and spit. trying to drown out the flavor of her kiss.

He sighed and hitched up his backpack and made his was toward room 407. Normally Kakashi was late so he didn't particularly worry about it.

It's not like people will care much anyway. Naruto reasoned with a bitter smirk.

So with that he slid the door open and entered. Sure enough there was Kakashi reading his innocent little orange book. Naruto knew better though.

He had gotten stuck with Kakashi a couple times after school and find out what was really inside that little orange book.

Innocent my ass, Naruto thought with an inward snort.

"Aah Naruto nice to see you coming to join class. You're just a tad late may I add." Kakashi called out cheerfully.

Kakashi was a nice man albeit a huge pervert. He was someone good to talk to. He listened rather well though most of the time it didn't seem like it. Oh and he was dating Mr. Iruka.

Yeah he had a boyfriend. Not that many people cared nowadays. Everyone was pretty much turning bi now anyways.

"Hn." Naruto responded coldly all the same.

He never let his guard down in front of other people. The girls in the classroom squealed at his coolness.

Kakashi smile curved down a bit but just as quickly quirked up. "Mahh mahh how about you take a seat between Sakura and Ino naruto since you were late and all."

Naruto raised a disbelieving eyebrow up at him as the two girls squealed. He let his mask drop a bit. Letting horror overtake his face.

So much for not letting his guard down. Kakashi chuckled. Naruto glared.

"No way." He responded coldly. He saw Ino's and Sakura's faces fall at his outright rejection.

"No need to get testy Naruto I was just joking." Kakashi buried his face into his book once more and said with evident amusement, " You can sit wherever you want."

Naruto nodded curtly and headed toward the desks at the back slowly.

Almost majestically might I add well…if you asked his fan girls. He scanned his surrounding classmates as he made his way toward his seat.

He gaze fell on an unfamiliar face that sparked his interest. Black silky locks and obsidian eyes that stared back at him.

Hmm new kid, he guessed and broke the stare-down to sit down. A familiar smirk grazed Naruto's face as he looked up to find the same obsidian eyes still focused on him.

This might actually be a good year, He mused as he leaned back onto his chair and let his eyes fall shut as he pulled out a black ipod and let the music wash over him. Dimming the sounds from the outside world….
