3B Classroom

1:00 pm

"And when you add this to this… And subtract it to this…" The melancholic sound of the teacher's voice echoed all over the room. Yawns were simultaneously heard; Students' signs of boredom.

"Half of an hour has passed… I'm dying of boredom… 30 minutes to go… I can do this…" Kiba thought; covering his droopy face using the subject's thick reference book.

"4th day of class… Still no Sasuke… hmmm…" Another daydreaming student. It was Shikamaru; seated beside the window, staring peacefully at the slowly drifting clouds.

"…" Shino; another absent minded student; Part of his brain was listening. But the other part was sleeping.

"…" Hinata; probably the only student who tries her best to listen; But no good… her eyes feels heavy already.

Few minutes later…

Knock. Knock. Knock

At the middle of the class, a male student with black hair, black eyes, and white complexion suddenly interrupted. Even if the door was opened, he still knocked to show his politeness and respect. The teacher was startled. But the students inside the class weren't.

"Is that you?? Uchiha Sasuke?" The teacher recognized. Every sleepy head of every sleepy student inside the lifeless class were pulled back in reality in an instant.

Eyes widened. Jaws dropped. Female squeals followed.

"AHHHHH!!! IT'S SASUKE!!!" Almost every girl student inside the class wanted to stand up and glomp Sasuke right up. Except that the evil glare of their evil teacher forbids it.

Oh brother. Oh man.
Stupid squealing girls.
Uchiha strikes again.
I envy him.
Oh my goodness… Squealing-tards…
Others murmured. The come back of Uchiha Sasuke brought excitement back to the class.

"Great timing Sasuke. We're all about to die in boredom here… You saved us…" Shikamaru whispered to his seatmate Kiba. The brown-haired student chuckled in reply.

"Now, now… Stop with all those screaming ladies… Sasuke, come in. You can just sit beside…" The teacher scanned across the room. Puppy looks on every girl's innocent-looking eyes hopes the teacher makes the Uchiha sit beside them. Of course, that wasn't possible coz every chair in sight has already been occupied. Every chair in sight except for one; the one placed at the back of the new student, Hyuuga Hinata.

"…There! Behind Hinata. She's a new student by the way… you'll be the only one seated at that row though… Is it okay with you?"

"Yeah. It's okay I guess…" The Uchiha coolly replied. Hmm… A new student? He thought. But anyway, he didn't care.

The decision made by the teacher had the girls seated at the front rows stare evilly back at the innocent Hyuuga.

Hinata was too lost for words though. The squeals at the beginning were irritating, now the stares were even more irritating. Her first impression of Sasuke? Not good. There's just something in the cold look in his eyes that made her shiver. But anyway, the girls didn't seem to see him that way though. To them, Uchiha Sasuke's too cool. And his stare seems to melt everyone who sees it.

"Yeah! We're so lucky Hinata! Sasuke gets to sit close to us!!" The red headed girl seated beside her whispered. She's probably the only girl in the class whom Hinata got that close with. Every other person inside the classroom thinks the Hyuuga's weird. Sure, Kiba, Shino and Shikamaru talks to her from time to time. But nonetheless, no one was interested at her that much. Most people like to be friends with talkative, funny, and active people. Hinata's the opposite. So socializing was difficult.

"I… It's not a big deal, actually…" she answered. The red-headed girl pouted.

"Well, you don't know Sasuke that much anyway… But just wait and see! You'll see why everyone likes him so much!!!"

"…" Hinata didn't reply. The way her seatmate reacted with the way she thought was simply unreasonable. She's talking like she knows that Sasuke guy very much… But to me it seems like they only like him because of his looks and the way he acts cool… Sigh… The world's just too weird…

10 minutes had passed after Sasuke's big come back. The students seated close to him hadn't spoken one word to him yet, namely Hinata and her red-headed seatmate. And the Uchiha did the same. He too, just stayed quiet at the back, not speaking even a single word.

Girls at the front row disturbed Hinata though. Their simultaneous gazes at the Uchiha seated at the back row were very disturbing. It's like every minute or so, someone would look back and check on him, then squeal quietly.

The bell signaling the school dismissals finally rang. Every student in every room rushed out in excitement. Now everyone knows the Uchiha brothers finally came back from their extended vacation. Of course, Ino and Sakura rushed towards Sasuke just as soon as they saw him. They used to be love rivals during elementary. But then again, High school seemed to play a big role in their maturity, coz now; they weren't the obsessive squealing fan girls they ought to be.

Naruto too, found out that Sasuke had returned when he and Chouji met up with the rest of the gang after dismissals. He didn't react much though, but it secretly pissed him off coz it'll now catch mostly of Sakura's attention. He liked her ever since elementary; but now that they're in high school, he admits that he still has feelings for her, but he kinda already accepted the fact that she will stay loyal to Sasuke, and there's no way he could change the way she feels about his rival. So he's kinda cool now. Uzumaki Naruto matured so much over the past years… no more immature jealousy, no more immature ranting. The way people see their group though, it's as if they were still the same student who used to cut classes and bully innocent teachers during elementary years. They wanted everyone to know that they matured now; that they're more responsible now. But it's been their 3rd year in High school now, and still, nothing has changed. Everyone still sees their group that way, the bad way. If they let themselves get affected though; it wouldn't do anything good to them. They don't get much detentions now; a sign of improvement and change. They're happy with the ways things are going. But just as they say; first impressions lasts. And how everybody sees them, will always be the way they will be; to them.

(A/N): End of chapter.
Woah. A short chapter??? That was unexpected…
Anyway, more reviews please. And I'm sorry if the story progresses slowly. I like it that way. (It's called…. Kishi's way)…Next chapter: Chapter 5: Sasori, Deidara, and the school clubs.
