Walking out of the main office and into the secretary's, Naruto patiently waited for the woman to finish the paperwork she was doing, looking outside the nearby window for a moment, he let his mind wander to thoughts of his only three friend's back at Suna High. Would they have taken the news badly? The sudden departure was something the blonde had gotten used too, at least back when he had no friends who cared for him, now it felt different, wrong was a word he could have used. Looking at his mobile he had just pulled from his pocket, he pressed the buttons to open his inbox, only then realising there was a message from Temari. Smiling at the fact that he hadn't been forgotten he proceeded to see what she had sent;

Temari:

Where the hell are you little bro!
Kanks and Lover boy can't find you anywhere!
Text me back. NOW!

He sighed, they didn't get his message about moving away and being kicked from the school. Wondering what to send back, he got brought out of his own little world when the woman behind the desk spoke to him, holding out the piece of paper that had his schedule written down, scratching the back of his head and thanking the woman before leaving. Checking the time he shrugged to himself 'Missed most of the morning, only got fifteen minutes 'til lunch' and with that he walked around the hallways until he finally found the cafeteria five minutes before the bell was going to ring, pulling his mobile out again, Naruto got straight onto texting Temari back, smiling all the time he was typing.

Naruto:

Hey, did try and send you guys a message.
Got the boot, apparently attitude problems?
Moved to Konoha, going to school there now.
Will ring tonight when I can, is Matsuri the unlucky lady?

With the message sent and the smile now permanently plastered on the prankster's face, the doors burst open and kid's began to rush either to their favourite table's or the que for food if they didn't have their own, he was lucky he brought his own today. Ten minute's went by with a couple people staring every now and then in his direction, figuring they didn't get many new kids in the cafeteria, he endured the stares for now, it wasn't like it hadn't happened before and it wasn't as if this would be the last time either. The vibration of his mobile caught his attention and he pulled the device from his pocket, looking at the reply he had just recieved from the girl he called his sister.

Temari:

WHAT! You better explain tonight idiot
Yeah it is her, they look so cute together hehe
Gaara's death glare recieved hehe

Naruto laughed to himself before hearing somebody sit down on the same table as him, "Would laugh to, but not sure what's funny" the voice came from another boy who's head, to be frank, looked like a pineapple from the front. "Nothing, just a joke between friends" he replied, putting his phone away before he wasted all of his credit, "Fair enough, name's Shikimaru and this is Choji" the pineapple boy said holding his hand out to the new kid after pointing with his thumb to a slightly large guy that had sat down next to him, the plate in front of the second kid looked full enough to feed three people let alone one. Reaching forward, he shook the guy's hand, smiling at him and nodding his head at Choji "Naruto".

"K, might as well wait until your interrogation is over before we start talking"

"Interrogation?"

"SHIKIMARU!" the shout came from a blonde who sat down next to boy in question, along with the newest arrival to the table came another four people following her but decided to sit down quietly instead of shouting. Looking to the boy that they gathered was the newest, a girl with pink hair decided to introduce herself and everybody.

"Hey there, you must be the new guy to the school and our class"

"Yep that's me, Naruto Uzumaki!"

"Well pleasure to meet you, I'm Sakura Haruno, and these are; Shino Aburame, Kiba Inuzuka, Tenten and the loud one is Ino Yamanaka"

Waving to everyone once they had all been introduced, the guy's merely went about eating their lunch instead of engaging in any conversation with the newest blonde, unsure why they didn't try to talk to him and still a little confused by what Shikimaru meant by interrogation he wanted to ask someone, at least until the girl called Ino had now stopped berating her friend and turned her attention to himself. "So, you're the new kid, what's your name?"

"Naruto, pleased to me-"

"Where are you from?"

The question came from Tenten, taken aback a little Naruto looked to Shikimaru before looking at her and answering.

"Umm well I was living in Suna befo-"

"What music do you like?"

Sakura had asked this time, the questions were coming too fast for him to actually make a sentence, after answering the pink hair's Ino shot another his way causing him to look at Shikimaru for a moment and talk to him first, "I think I get what you mean now"

"Hey, we'll ask the questions now answer!"

Twenty questions later and the girls seemed to have the basic details about his life which, thankfully, seemed enough for them as they left him alone for five minutes, talking amongst themselves for the moment. Still looking to the females with some confusion as to the sudden way that they had stopped asking him questions, Kiba reached out and took hold of his arm, dragging his attention to the boy who for some reason kept his hood up, "Dude, they've stopped, leave it at that until they feel like giving you another quiz" Naruto looked back to the girls once more before turning his head back to the one called Kiba who had stopped him, nodding his head before turning slightly away from the females who were deep in conversation about some of the latest gossip around the school.

"So, what's the joke?"

"A friend back in Suna did something that's all"

"Fair enough, anybody know when the green and white's are coming?" Shikimaru said, offering the question out to the entire table minus Naruto, who looked at him as if he was as crazy as he was. Ino looked around the cafeteria but simply shrugged her shoulders in response, "Hina did mention something about talking to Iruka, she didn't get a chance to see him this morning" Tenten answered before taking another bite out of her lunch, "Have a guess who's fault that was" Ino spoke, looking towards the newest member who looked to his left, right and then finally over his shoulder before pointing a finger to himself. Sakura looked up to the door of the hall before looking back to her now finished lunch, Chouji still had some left over and mistook her feelings for a moment, offering a rice ball to her.

"No thanks Chouji" the pinkette stated, looking at him with a sad smile but he insisted, leaving it in front of her. Kiba looked over to the entrance and saw the reason she was feeling down. The girls being the only ones to click on to the reason, they knew the only thing that could make Sakura turn from feeling happy to down in an instant was her past boyfriend, "What's up?" Naruto asked as he felt the mood of the group change, looking around the table at each of the people before following Kiba's eyes over to the guy he recognised from this morning.

"Hey, that's the guy that I knocked over this morning!"

Silence engulfed the entire room, people had turned to look at the boy with the orange hoody who was pointing at Sasuke Uchiha and his followers, Naruto turned his head and looked around the entire cafeteria, what had he just said? Looking back to the table he was stood up from, he searched for anything in their faces apart from confusion and a little shock at the sudden outburst, guessing no one was going to give him an answer he turned his attention back to the group, only to realise the girl from that morning was now less than two feet in front of him, backed by one of the larger males.

"Care to repeat that"

The tone was something he didn't like, others tried using it on him and they found themselves in a fight shortly afterwards, his hands became fists and his body tensed slightly, something that didn't go unoticed as the guy behind her smiled and moved in front of the girl. "Make your move" he spoke the words before seeing Kiba, Shikimaru, Chouji and Shino stand up and create a line with Naruto in the middle, "Back off Jirobo" Kiba growled out through clenched teeth as the seconds ticked by with all eyes on the current situation before a teachers voice could be heard. "Well now what do we have here?" Heads turned to the man with a mask covering his face, Naruto recognised him as the teacher who had stopped him from skating around the entire school this morning but kept his face set, eyes darting from him and back to the guy in front of them.

The kid with the spiked hair had come over now and grabbed Jirobo by the arm, "Nothing Kakashi, just a misunderstanding" he informed the teacher before walking back to the group who stood near the entrance waiting for him, before leaving the hall he glanced over his shoulder at Naruto and left, the cafeteria erupted into talking and gossip once more as each of the guys who stood up with the blonde sat back down, "Now then, back to your lunch kids" the smile wasn't visible but his facial features showed he had one as he spoke, more to Naruto that anybody else as he was the only one still standing. Placing his hand on the boy's shoulder, Kakashi leaned in and whispered into his ear, "Let it go" before leaving the hall himself.

"Who was the jerk then?"

"No offence dude, but drop-"

"It's ok Tenten" Sakura interupted her friend, keeping her head down for a moment before looking at what was starting to turn out to be the groups newest member, "His name is Sasuke Uchiha, he was a friend" she stated simply, no one added anything or beckoned for her to carry on explaining. Ino placed a hand on her friend's shoulder as she sat on the table next to her, still a little confused about it Naruto decided he would ask one of the guys some other time, after all, it wasn't as if talking about his parents and his own small problem was something he enjoyed doing on a regular basis. With the group remaining in silence for a moment, a different voice broke them out of their own thoughts, "Have we missed something?" Tenten jumped from her seat and hugged the guy with the ponytail that Naruto recognised from that morning.

"About time you two got here, what kept you?"

"My fault, s-sorry Tenten, practice went on a l-little longer than usual"

"Aw don't apologise Hina, just glad you pair got here before the end of lunch, oh hey have you guys met Naruto yet?"

Looking up, said boy waved to guy from that morning before noticing the girl who had asked him if he was alright, "Hey I saw you guys this morning!" he stated loudly, Hinata covered her mouth after a small squeak came from her lips. Smiling he took hold of Neji's outstretched hand and shook it and after a small introduction of the two Tenten and Ino went on to tell Hinata what she had missed, Neji sat down and began eating what was left of his lunch whilst Kiba began to argue with Shino about his choice of pet before bringing Naruto into the discussion.

"Husky, or praying mantis?"

"Does it have to be them two choices?"

"What would you choose then?"

"Fox"

Raising an eyebrow to his answer, Kiba merely stared for a moment with his mouth slightly open before coming back to earth for a minute before the bell rang, "We'll continue this later" he told both Shino and Naruto before picking up his bag and heading to class. Shikimaru stood and looked at Naruto as the rest of the group packed their lunch away.

"Class?"

"Good question" chuckling to himself and scratching the back of his head, the blonde pulled his schedule from his pocket and scanned the timetable, "apparently I got maths, anybody else there?" Sakura smiled for a moment before remembering who had chased the new kid around the school this morning, thinking about letting him know for a second before deciding to let it be a surprise. "Yeah I'm in that class, as well as Hinata, come on, we'll show you the way" and with that, the trio headed down one of the corridors and into the sea of students who hurried along to get to their next classes.

Thats it for the third chapter, about time I got back to it but then again a bit difficult these days what without a laptop to type on now, currerntly using a friend's laptop but won't be able to in a few days, hopefully can get started on the next chapter for this and possibly update telling her at the same time, hopefully.
Anyway, same as always, reviews please and need some help on deciding who to have as teachers for subjects, any ideas would be greatly appreciated and thought on.
