The bell rang signalling the end of third block and the beginning of lunch. Naruto, Kiba, Gaara and the rest of Asuma Sarutobi's Grade 10 math class left the class and headed for either the direction of their lockers or the cafeteria. Naruto, Kiba and Gaara took the latter option and went down the hallway most kids went down.
"Whoo! I am so glad that class is done!" Naruto exclaimed as he turned and started walking backwards so he see his friends as he talked to them. "I hate algebra, it is so dumb! I mean really when are we ever going to need to 'solve for a' or whatever." Naruto said as he threw up his arms at the mere thought of algebra. "Letters should just stay in the alphabet and number should stay in the numeral system, they should never mix with each other. Ever." Naruto said as he put his hands behind his head, turning around so he was walking forward and not backwards; knowing Naruto he wold probably walk into a wall or fall down some stairs. He was clumsy.
Kiba groaned at Naruto's statement. "I know how you feel Naruto. I sometimes still have trouble with simple multiplying; now they throw letters into it! Uh-uh, that's so not cool." Kiba said as he and his friends opened up the cafeteria's doors. The smell of the cafeteria's food attacked the three teens noses as they walked into the hallway that let to the double doors that opened up into the big cafeteria. The cafeteria consisted of around 6 or 7 big rectangle tables that could squeeze about 20 people onto each, and about 10 smaller tables that could fit 8 in each (1). The cafeteria line was quite large by the time Kiba, Gaara and Naruto got into it. As the line started to slowly move forward the trio bought their food.
"Three plates of fries please." Gaara asked the student (2) behind the counter. "And, three cookies please." He added as an afterthought. The woman handed the three boys their fries and cookies.
" That will be 5.50$ please." The girl said as she held out her hand to get the money.
Gaara took his friend's money and placed it in the girls hand. "Thank you." he said as he and his friends went to go and find a table.
"Hey Gaara, Naruto, Kiba! Over here!" The trio all turned their head in the direction of the voice. There, a few tables over they saw Hinata standing up and waving to them. The three made their way over to the table. When they got to the table Hinata looked around and saw a few people staring at her, with a slight blush she sat down. "G-grab some c-chairs and sit d-down you guys." Hinata stuttered out as she reverted back to the shy girl she usually was at school.
Gaara, Naruto and Kiba took some chairs from a nearby table that no one was sitting at and pulled them up to the table Hinata, Shino, TenTen, Sakura and Ino were sitting at. Gaara looked around for his boyfriend but didn't see him at the table.
"Where's Neji?" Gaara asked as he started to sprinkle salt on his fries. Hinata's eyes grew slightly colder at the mention of her cousin.
"Neji is probably doing something with the student council." Hinata answered stiffly.
Gaara's mouth made an 'O' at this information. Neji was the student council vice-president, so he got pretty busy sometimes with the duties of that. "And where are the other two people that hang out with you guys...Sasuke and Shikamaru?" Gaara asked, titling his head to the side cutely.
Hinata's eyes grew warm at how innocent Gaara looked right then, but then grew cold again at the mention of her cousin's best friends. "Sasuke and Shikamaru are also probably busy with student council, but they will probably be here soon." Hinata said as she started to pick at the lunch her parents packed her which consisted of a sandwich, a juice box and some snacks.
Gaara nodded slightly at this and then turned to Naruto who was having a very animated conversation with Kiba. Like Neji, both Sasuke and Shikamaru were member's of the student council, Sasuke was the student council president, and Shikamaru was the student council treasurer. They got pretty busy with the workload, so it wasn't unusual for them to be late to lunch sometimes.
"No man, I'm telling you, toothpicks can come scented!" Kiba said as he waved his arms around his head, trying to get whatever his point was across.
Naruto crossed his arms across his chest. "No they can't; toothpicks can't come scented! That just isn't right!" Naruto argued back.
"Yes they can!"
"No they can't!"
Naruto and Kiba's pointless arguing continued on, getting louder and louder with each word they spoke. The other members at the table simply sweat dropped at their behaviour, except for Shino. He just sat there. Creepy...
"So, Gaara, is it?" TenTen asked the red head.
Gaara turned his head in her direction. If Gaara recalled right she was the girl who worked at Neji's families restaurant. "H-hai. T-TenTen, right?" Gaara asked the brown haired girl. TenTen gave Gaara an almost too sweet smile.
"Yeah, that's me. Have you met the rest of the group?" TenTen asked as Naruto and Kiba stopped arguing.
Gaara shook his head no. "U-um, no we haven't." Gaara said as he looked around the table.
"Oh, well this is Ino," TenTen pointed to the blonde haired girl beside her who waved at the three boys. "This is Sakura," TenTen pointed to girl with short pink hair, who also waved to them. "You already know Hinata, and this is Shino." TenTen finished off her introductions as she pointed to a boy sitting beside Kiba who had dark brown, slightly spiky hair. He was also wearing a large white coat that covered the lower part of his face, and dark sunglasses that covered his eyes. He simply sat there, not doing anything. "...he doesn't say much." TenTen said seeing the looks on the trio's faces.
Gaara was about to respond when the doors to the cafeteria opened. In walked none other then his boyfriend and his two friends, their fan club wasn't following them today because of the 'incident' that morning. A smile blossomed on his face as Neji's eyes locked onto his own. Neji, Shikamaru and Sasuke made their way over to the table that their friends were at.
Neji took a chair and sat it beside his 'boyfriend'.
"Hey Gaara, how a-" Neji was cut off a chair suddenly crashed to the floor. Everyone turned to the noise, only to see Naruto bolting from the cafeteria, and Sasuke following him.
"Naruto?" Gaara yelled out as he saw the retreating back of his friend.

Panting filled the air as Naruto ran as fast as he could from the cafeteria. He thought that he had finally gotten rid of Sasuke Uchiha, but it turns out he was wrong. After that summer...Naruto couldn't think of that right now; he wouldn't think of that right now. If he did he wasn't sure what would happen.
A faint call of his name shook Naruto from his thoughts, and gave him the extra boost he needed to turn the corner and practically burst into the nearest boys bathroom he saw. Naruto ran into the farthest stall he in the bathroom, sat on the floor, and started sobbing. Sasuke, why can't you ever stay out of my life? Naruto's sobbing abruptly stopped as the door to the bathroom slammed open and hit a wall.
"Naruto!" Sasuke yelled frantically, as he searched the bathroom for the blonde boy. Slight sobbing alerted Sasuke that someone else was in the bathroom. "Naruto, I know that you're in here." Sasuke, said, voice gentler then before. As Sasuke made his way father into the bathroom the sobbing got louder. As Sasuke got to the last stall he opened it slowly. The sight that he saw nearly broke his heart into two. There Naruto sat, sobbing his heart out. And all because of him. "Naruto." Sasuke breathed out at the sight of him.
Naruto looked up slightly with a glare that could kill. Sasuke shuddered. "Uchiha." Naruto angrily bit out, though it lost some of it's harshness as he was still crying when he said it.
Sasuke's eyes softened as he bent down in front of Naruto. "Naruto, I am sorry, I am so so sorry." Sasuke said as he moved closer to Naruto. As he reached a hand out to try and wipe Naruto's tears away his hand was roughly slapped away.
"Don't touch me!" Naruto yelled out as he pushed himself into a corner of the stall and curled himself into a ball.
Sasuke pulled his hand into his chest, biting on his lip to keep himself from crying. He couldn't believe what he had done to Naruto; he never knew that his actions would have such harsh consequences. "Dobe..." Sasuke said gently. Naruto's head snapped up. Pure anguish in his eyes.
"W-what?" Naruto asked as the tears still freely flowed from his eyes. Sasuke smiled slightly at Naruto.
"Dobe." Sasuke said as he moved closer to Naruto, reaching his arms out to him. Naruto shied away from Sasuke as he got closer to him.
"N-no, stay away from me! Get away!" Naruto yelled out as he started wildly kicking around, hoping it would get Sasuke to leave him alone. It didn't, Sasuke still got closer to Naruto. Sasuke reached out a hand to Naruto's face, when it wasn't slapped away he moved it to Naruto's cheek in an effort of drying his tears. When Naruto didn't shy away from his touches he moved closer to him. When Sasuke was sitting directly in front of Naruto he spoke again.
"Naruto...I am so so so sorry for everything that I ever did to hurt you." Sasuke said as he tilted Naruto's face up so he could look into his eyes. Once Naruto locked his eyes with Sasuke's he launched forwards, pushing Sasuke backwards onto the ground.
Naruto buried his face into Sasuke's light blue school shirt. "You should be!" Naruto sobbed, though it was muffled because of the fabric. Sasuke put his hand into Naruto's hair, stroking it in an effort to console the sobbing boy. "You hurt me more then anyone ever has Sasuke." Naruto said as he lifted his head up to look at Sasuke. Sasuke's heart ached with the heartbroken look on Naruto's face.
Sasuke smiled sadly up at Naruto. "I know Naruto." Sasuke said as he sat up, bringing Naruto with him. "I know I did Naruto, and since that day I have regretted what I did with all my heart." The black haired male said as he gazed into Naruto's eyes. Sasuke stood up, picking Naruto up with him and embracing him in the biggest hug he had ever given anyone. Naruto clutched the back of Sasuke's shirt and buried his head into Sasuke's shoulder. "I know that this is probably a stupid question, but can you forgive me and can we maybe start over?" Sasuke asked.
Naruto's eyes shot open and he pushed himself away from Sasuke like he had just been burned. All the memories of the fateful day rushed through his mind. Fresh tears streamed down Naruto's face. "No! We can never 'start over' and I will most definitely neverforgive you! I...I hate you!" And with those last words Naruto bolted from the bathroom. His sobs echoing throughout the bathroom.
Sasuke felt like his heart had just been ripped out of his chest. He hated him. Naruto Uzumaki hated him. The one person that Sasuke never stopped loving hated him. Sasuke slid to the ground. A lone tear found it's way down the pale boys face.

(1) This is the basic layout of the cafeteria at my school.
(2) At my school students work in the lunch line and they make the food for the school.
Oh lawdy, what ever made me write this chapter? I am really sorry for the lack of NejiGaa in this chapter, but this chapter was more of a set up for a future conflict and plot twist that will happen later on in the story. If anyone has any idea of what Sasuke did to Naruto either review or send me a private message saying what you think he did. If you get it right you will get...something, I don't know what yet XD
Oh, and also that toothpick conversation was something that my friends had a while back...yeah, my friends are odd XD
Gaara: Sasuke, what the hell did you do to Naruto?
Sasuke: Don't ask me, ask the psycho author who made me do it!
Gaara: I would rather save what little sanity I have left and not talk to her.
Me: Gaara-kuuuun, that hurts -pout-
Gaara: -deadpans- Does it look like I care?
Me: -still pouting- See you next time you guys.
