Chapter 2

The beginning of classes wasn't very interesting in the least. Teachers came into the class and introduced what we would be learning this year, and then gave us a review packet to see what each of the students could understand in the lessons. After our first three classes in the morning, lunch finally came rolling around.

We had just finished three of our core classes: mathematics, science, and social studies. I stretched my arms up in the air and a couple of pops could be heard. "Sakura-chan…"

I turned around in my seat to see an almost dead Naruto slouching upon his desk, "Sakura-chan…I'm gonna fail this year…"

Sigh…Naruto wasn't the greatest student in…ever, but, "Don't worry about it Naruto. I'll be here to help you out."

Suddenly, Naruto's depressing eyes turned into happy tears flowing down his face. He jumped out of his seat and grabbed my hands, "Thank you so much Sakura-chan! I don't know what I would ever do without you."

I smiled. I didn't know what I would do without Naruto either. He was the sun in my world that kept me cheerful and happy. His bright smile and blue, blue eyes suited him a lot more than his depressing self.

"By the way…" I pulled out of my thoughts, "Where did Sasuke-teme go?"

I looked over at Sasuke's desk behind me, but he was nowhere to be found. "I don't know Naruto."

Then, I looked over to the front of the classroom and didn't see Itachi either, 'Maybe…' I opened the window to the hallways and found the two of them out in the halls.

"What are you doing here Aniki?" Sasuke looked a little peeved and a little embarrassed to have Itachi in the same school as him. Itachi was leaning against one of the closed class 2-1 windows. He was wearing the high school uniform: a black gakuran, but his coat was opened all the way revealing a white t-shirt. Around his neck was a necklace with three silver circles that were separated by small pieces of string.

"I'm sure that you heard what Kakashi-sensei said, did you not otouto?"

A small, almost inconspicuous blush appeared on my face at hearing Itachi's deep voice; very different compared to his nine-year old one. Sasuke stuffed his hands in his pockets out of embarrassment, "That's not what I meant and you know it. I meant why are you in my class? There should be a rule or something."

Itachi kept his stoic face on.

Oh…he's good.

"Well, anyway, just don't get in my way, okay? Middle school's my thing."

"Like we would ever fucking wanna do this shithole again. Jashin! It fucking sucked the first time. High school's fucking better than this crap!"

Sasuke turned his head down the hallway, and Naruto and I also turned our heads out the window, "You have got to be shitting me…" "Language Sasuke."

A small group of high school stood down the hallway—all of them we met through Itachi. The man who cursed like a sailor had his silver hair gelled back and a cigar hanging out of his mouth, his name was Hidan. "That's right little Uchiha! We don't' wanna be preteens again!" Deidara, a senior with long blonde hair in a ponytail agreed with.

Sasuke ran his hands down his face at having to deal with his older brother's friends. Itachi ignored his "friends" and kept his leaning stance against the class windows. He opened his eyes and glanced down at my head that was poking out of the window looking at the scene in the hallway. I looked up at him and gave a shy smile; he nodded his head in a greeting.

"It's nice to see you again…Sakura."

"…Nice to see you too, Itachi…nii-san."

His shoulders slumped just the slightest that no one would be able to see, "Are you surprised to have me as your teacher's aid, Sakura?"

I averted my eyes and blushed just the slightest, "A little, but I'm glad it's you Itachi-nii-san. You're someone I'm familiar with."

He looked straight at me, and I turned back towards the scene in front of my to avoid his burning stare. Soon enough, he looked back at the scene in front, the one that Naruto had thrown himself into standing to Sasuke's side, "What's wrong with middle school? Afraid that some kids will beat you guys up?"

"Please chibis! We can destroy your guys reps anytime anywhere?" The senior, Kisame, that fought back with Naruto stood above everyone else with his six foot two stature and blue hair.

"We're not chibis!"

"You haven't gone through puberty yet kid!"

"Yeah right! We're twice as manly as you guys!"

"What false acusations!"

This banter and arguing kept going drawing a few onlookers from the classrooms to see what the fuss was about. I kept staring at the argument, not making a move to interrupt at all. A red head that was about Itachi's height quietly came over to Itachi's side. Itachi looked over at him and nodded in greeting, "Sasori."

Sasori nodded and spoke in a quiet voice, "We should go. Pein wants us back at the high school for lunch. After, we have classes this afternoon."

Itachi nodded and pushed himself off from the window making his ponytail swing just the slightest behind his back. All arguing ceased immediately at Itachi's movement; he looked up towards his fellow group of seniors, "Pein wants us back."

Itachi's friends stood up straighter and started to walk off, but not without some parting words to Naruto and Sasuke, "You guys got lucky."

Sasuke sneerd and glared at their backs, while Naruto stuck his tongue out and let his finger pull down the skin under his eye, "See ya losers!"

"Whatever."

Sasori went to join the others walking away. Itachi went by Sasuke and rubbed his head a bit, "Behave Sasuke."

Sasuke put his hands on his hair and fixed whatever Itachi messed up. As he walked away, Itachi walked by the window, but stopped in front of me. He turned towards me and I looked up at him in curiosity. He placed his right hand atop my head, and then walked off without a word.

…I was definitely not expecting that.

"Great, now Itachi germs are on the both of you."

I looked up at Sasuke and Naruto who walked over to where I was situated beside the window. "I don't get what he's doing here, but I guess I'll have to live with it."

"Sucks for you dude!"

Sasuke sighed a little and slumped against the side of the window. Looking at each of their drained faces, I spoke up, "Well, it is lunch time now, and I'm sure everyone's waiting for us. And don't worry about buying lunch, I've already made three bentos for each of us."

Naruto's face brightened at the prospect of free food and my homecooking, "Yatte! All right! I love your food Sakura-chan!"

Even Sasuke's expression lightened a little. I lauged at Naruto's happy enthusiasm, "Well I'm glad you like them so much, but compliments only get you more food."

"Aw…Sakura-chan!"

"Come on, let's go. I'm sure everyone has been waiting for us."

"Man, why the hell do we have to be a teacher's aid, I'm already down with all that middle school crap."

"Yeah, well at least it gets us out of regular classes, unlike some."

"Don't complain."

"Yeah, at least we don't have to do that fucking high school work shit! I'd rather do fucking this!"

Itachi, Sasari, Kisame, Hidan, Deidara, and a couple of others were walking down the high school corridors.

"Shut up Hidan," Kisame spoke, but then slyly looked over at Itachi's quiet self. He grinned like a madman, "But I do know someone who's freaking happy to be in the class that he's in."

The group broke out into giant grins and stared at Itachi's back in front of them. Itachi stopped and turned around to look at them. He raised his eyebrow, "Is there something that you need?"

Deidara's grin widened, "We know your happy Itachi."

Itachi stared at them impassively and continued walking down to an empty classroom. The rest followed, but still grinned widely.

Silence enveloped them all until Hidan spoke up, "Weasel…you're a little fucked up."

Everyone looked at Hidan, while Itachi remained quiet, "Why the fuck are you into fucking lolicons again? I mean that pink-haired chick is fucking cute as hell and shit, but why her?"

They turned to Itachi for an answer, but he didn't give one. Instead, he continued down the hallway with the others trailing behind him. A few more beats of silence followed them until they finally reached an empty classroom door. Itachi stopped in front of it, but before he went inside, he turned around toward the others and gave his answer.

"One of the reasons would be that she is fucking adorable."

…What the fuck are the other ones?

"Eekkk! I cannot believe you have Sasuke-kun's older brother as your teacher's aid! Your so lucky forehead!"

I continued to eat my bento as Ino gushed about the third year teacher's aid.

"There's nothing great about him or any of the high school third years!" Naruto angrily stuffed his face with the ramen bentos that I made for him.

"That's because you're stupid Naruto! You wouldn't understand the appeal younger girls have to older and hot guys."

"Ino's right Naruto. Older guys are hot! I'm super excited to have a high school third year in the class to stare at!" Tenten, a girl with brunette hair tied in buns agreed with Ino's sentiments.

"Honestly, I find it a distraction to the classroom. How are us third years going to concentrate on exams for high school next year?"

"Don't be such a tightwad Neji," Hyuuga Neji, a member of the infamous Hyuuga family had long dark brown hair tied in a ponytail and silver pupil less eyes.

"Now, now, dear friends! We must think of this as an opportunity of learning presented before us! With these high schoolers attending our classes, we can attain youthful knowledge on the studying aspect for high school exams!" Lee exclaimed.

Tenten pointed her chopsticks in Lee's direction, "See! Lee's got a positive idea swarming in his head."

"Actually, I'm agreeing with Neji here," Inuzuka Kiba, a boy with shaggy brown hair and red tattoos on his cheeks, "Now all the girls on campus are gonna be trying to attract the attention of those guys instead of us! How am I gonna play my cards with the ladies when I gotta compete with an older guy, huh?"

"I'm with you on that one Kiba! It's totally unfair to us guys who are trying to attract the ladies onto our side!"

Naruto crossed his hands over his chest. A small and delicate hand poked him in the arm, and he opened his eyes and turned toward the direction of the finger, "Ano…Naruto-kun."

Hyuuga Hinata, the most adorable girl you will ever meet! She's like a tiny porcelain doll that is way too shy and kind for her own good, "Naruto-kun…"

"Yeah, what's up Hinata-chan?"

Hinata pressed her index fingers together, "Well, I-I mean…um…not…not all of the girls here w-will try to a-attract the attention of the t-third year h-high schoolers."

While speaking, the bright red blush on her face intensified. Naruto smiled, "Thanks Hinata! Your super nice to give support to the guys who really matter on campus!"

Hinata nodded her head and continued with eating her lunch. Our other friends, Akimichi Chouji and Aburame Shino remained quiet on the situation, and Shikamaru laid back in the shade and slept away. Ino rolled her eyes and flipped her long blonde hair that was tied back in a high ponytail with her hand, "Whatever, boys! These third years are men! And not just any men, but hot men! And my class has a cute blonde boy that takes amazing care of his long blonde hair!"

"You have Deidara-san?"

"Yup! And he's so cute! Who do you have Tenten?"

"My class has got a guy with red hair. I think his name's Sasori. He's kinda quiet, so I think he'll be serious enough to help us with our entrance exams this year."

"I-It must be tough to be a third year. What with high school entrance exams and everything?"

"Nah, it's not too bad. I'm gonna study every night as much as possible for my exams. You guys are second years, so your gonna have parent conferences on where your thinking on going to high school, so you know how to prepare in your third year. "

Ino, Hinata, and I nodded and listened to Tenten's wise words. Tenten, Neji, and Lee were all third years, so they only had one more year left with us.

"Anyway, who's your teacher aid Hinata?"

She blushed; her lavender pupil less eyes looked down and her short hair moved a little, "O-our teacher's aid…his name is H-Hidan. He…he seems to c-curse a lot, but I-I'm sure that he's a n-nice person."

I nodded in a little sympathy for her, because Hidan was the biggest potty mouth that I knew.

The bell rang and we gathered our bentos and trash and walked back to our respective classrooms, Ino, Shikamaru, and Chouji in class 2-2, Kiba, Shino, and Hinata to class 2-3, Lee, Tenten, and Neji to class 3-3, and Sasuke, Naruto, and I to class 2-1.

"Are we meeting up after school today, Sakura?"

I shook my head, "Sorry, Ino. It's Naruto, Sasuke-kun, and mine's tradition to go to Sasuke-kun's to celebrate our first day of school."

She huffed and crossed her arms across her chest, "Fine, but then we get you for the rest of the week."

"Yeah, I need help with my studies, please Sakura?"

"I-It would be n-nice to study t-together again."

Nodding my head, "Sounds good, we can also catch up and stuff."

We all parted way and attended our afternoon classes. After we walked into the classroom and took our respective seats, I scanned the front and found no Itachi. I looked downward and while our Japanese Studies teacher walked in, I could only think about the long, raven haired boy that was a third year who would probably captivate my attention.

So, I hoped you enjoyed and that you go to that new review space and review please! I hand out hearts and smiles to people who review!
