"Ow ow ow," Naruto said as he rubbed the back of his head, "What was that for?"
"Y-you s-suddenly picked me up!"
"Because I thought you were hurt," he replied.
"Well you thought wrong." I turned around and found clothes to put on. I can't stand this guy! Always doing these embarrassing things!
"I was only trying to help," Naruto said in a low voice. He sounded sad. Why? I was angry but I didn't mean to hurt his feelings. I slowly turned to apologize but was interrupted by the door flying open.
"What's happening?" Kabuto asked frantically.
"Oh I slipped on a shoe and fell," Naruto said smiling, "I'm fine."
"Thank goodness it wasn't anything serious." Kabuto seemed to be relieved. Guess we did make a lot of noise.
"Well, just be careful next time, okay?"
"Okay," Naruto replied. Kabuto left and we were once again alone. Naruto stood up but didn't say anything. The awkward silence was unbearable. After a few moments it was just too much.
"H-hey I'm… I'm sorry for earlier. Y-you startled me," I said.
"Nah it's fine. I was being too rash," he replied.
"N-no I shouldn't have hit you."
"No No I shoulda made sure you were seriously hurt. I was just so worried." My heart skipped a beat. What did he say? Worried? Why would he be worried about me? We barely know each other. I didn't say anything in return. My mind was a mess of different thoughts. During the silence we both laid back down but I couldn't go back to sleep. I could only think about what Naruto said. I was happy in a way. I listened to Naruto's calm and even breathing for most of the night but never fell back to sleep. When sunrise came, I got dressed and went out for coffee and donuts. What a nice breakfast? The small shop had just opened for the day so it was relatively empty. Only two other People. They were older men and seemed to know each other. One was a darker skinned man with a cigarette in his mouth. Why was he smoking so early in the morning? The other one was pale and had silver hair with a surgical mask on. He would pull it down between sips of coffee but immediately put it back. Was it really necessary? I went to get a refill and overheard their conversation.
"So are you ready for classes?" the silver haired man asked.
"Yeah I have everything ready. How about you Kakashi?"
"Yeah but I'm getting too old for this," he replied with a chuckle. I guess they're professors.
"What are you talking about? Were still young."
"Well I sure don't feel it," Kakashi said. They both started laughing. As I was walking back to my table, someone barged into the shop.
"Hey Kakashi. Wanna finish off my morning run with me?" This man was in all green and had a bowl cut. He was way too lively this early. Even more so than Naruto.
"As you can see Guy, I'm having coffee with Asuma." he replied.
"You both can join! We need to enjoy our youth!"
"I don't think so," Asuma said.
"Oh come on!"
"Nope." Guy soon gave up and continued his "morning run". Guess everyone has that one energetic friend. I finished up the coffee and left. What to do now? It was still 7am. Maybe I should go get my books. I pulled out the list and started my search.
I had to check every bookstore in the area but I finally found all of them. When I got back to the dorm Naruto was still asleep. He looked so peaceful. I put the books down and sat at my bed. I couldn't help but blush at the thought of last night. Naruto saw every bit of me but I felt every part of him. I could feel my tighten. Why was I getting hard? What's wrong with me? Wasn't yesterday enough to calm me down?
"What's up?" Naruto asked. Wait. Wasn't he suppose to be asleep? I quickly grabbed a pillow and sat it on my lap. Come on! Go down!
"N-nothing," I replied, hoping he hadn't seen my erection.
"Looks like you've been out."
"Yeah I got my books for class." It was awkward for me to talk to him but I had to endure it.
"This early?" Naruto asked, "How long have you been awake?"
"I've been up for awhile now."
"Wish I was an early bird like you," Naruto said chuckling.
"Y-yeah." I went to my laptop and opened it up. I was planning on scrolling through social media but was met with porn. I quickly shut it back and turned around to Naruto. Did he see?
"Pretty kinky stuff," Naruto said, smiling. Fuck! Why do these things always happen to me?
"I always forget to close my tabs too," Naruto said, "Don't sweat it." He made me feel a little relieved but it was still embarrassing. I opened it back up and closed out of everything. It was unending with me and these situations. Could I get a break? As asked myself that there was a knock at the door. Naruto opened it and Kiba ran in.
"Guys! There's a huge party this weekend! We gotta go!" he explained excitedly. Naruto instantly lit up. I shook my head.
"Of course we're going, right Sasuke?" Naruto said. The thought of loud college students drinking and yelling gave me a headache.
"I don't think I'm gonna be going."
"Oh come on! It's gonna be a blast!" Kiba yelled.
"Yeah it'll be fun Sasuke," Naruto said. They'll never let up will they?
With a huge sigh I gave them a, "Sure."
"Sweet! Well since that's settled, you guys wanna go hangout?" Naruto got ready and we met with the guys outside.
I was up early the next morning. I had a class at 8am and I wanted to be early. Well that was a mistake. I waited and waited until every other student had arrived and even after that he hadn't showed up. Where the hell was the professor? It was at least 30 minutes before he showed up and when he did I was surprised with a familiar face. Kakashi.
"Sorry I'm late, I'm afraid I got lost in the path of life," Kakashi said. Sure "the path of life". What a pitiful excuse. The whole class seemed to be thinking the same as me.
"Alright class, I'm Kakashi Hatake and I'm your professor. Since this is pretty small class and you'll be working together, we'll take this first day to get to know each other. If you have any questions I'll be over here reading." Are we in middle school? We're really going to take the day off and get to know each other? This is bullshit.
"Hello," I heard a woman's voice say behind me. I turned to see a beautiful pink haired girl. Why was she talking to me? It made me a bit nervous. A girl had never started a conversation with me before.
"H-hello," I replied.
"I'm Sakura Haruno."
"I-I'm Sasuke Uchiha."
"It's nice to meet you Sasuke."
"You too." I honestly just wanted to leave at this point. It was nice talking to a sweet girl like her but I was just wanted to start class. I'm here to learn not chat with girls.
"So are you excited for this class?" Sakura asked as she sat down next to me.
"Yeah I was hoping to get started today but..." my voice trailed off.
"Yeah? I don't think it's such a bad idea to know each other a little more," she said while winking with rosy cheeks. Was she coming on to me? No way.
"Y-yeah," I said giving a nervous chuckle. She seemed to notice my nervousness.
"What other classes do you have?"
"Um… Business Communications right after this." Sakura seemed to light up.
"Me too! We could totally walk there together!" I needed a way out of this situation. She was nice and all but I wanted to focus on studies. A girl was the last thing I wanted to deal with. Naruto was enough.
"Hi." I turned to see who had saved me and it was a man with red hair and no eyebrows.
"Hello."
"Mind if I sit here next to you?"
"No, not at all." I wonder what he wanted?
He leaned in and whispered, "I saw you were in trouble."
"Well see you later Sasuke!" Sakura interrupted. Thank goodness she's leaving.
"Thanks," I told this stranger.
"No problem. I've went to school with her for most of my life and she always finds a guy to flirt with. I'm Gaara by the way."
"I'm Sasuke."
"Yeah I heard," he said with a chuckle, "I overheard some the conversation and if you want I can walk with you to your class. I have it too."
"Yeah that would be helpful." We continued with small talk and then went to our next class. Sakura seemed to back off when he was around. Guess she really wanted to be alone with me. When we walked in, another surprise was in front of me. The professor for this class was Asuma. No wonder they seemed like buddies at the coffee shop. They both worked in the same department.
"Alright guys. Since it's the first day I'll just lecture about the basics. We won't go into anything crazy yet." Finally a professor that gets down to business and after this I was done with classes for the day.
The week flew by and I quickly got used to my classes. Sakura continued her flirting attacks and almost every time Gaara would step in. It was finally Friday and I didn't have any more classes until Monday. I would be excited but tonight was a certain event I wasn't looking forward to. The party started in only an hour and I was dreading it.
