Naruto's POV
The sound of piano keys being pressed making sequences of beautiful notes melding together and composing music that comes from the heart, i really dont know how to read notes in a piano sheet. But i still love to play the piano just pressing random keys , but somehow it always works as long as it comes from the heart.
My foster father had tried to get me to take lessons, but studying isn't me strong suit. It was a miracle i learned a whole different language granted it took me 4 years. I continued to play the keys randomly sticking with the sequence i just made up 10 minutes of pressing random keys.
The freedom it grants me relaxes me, and relaxing is something i need at the moment.
A heavy sigh escapes my lips, ' i really hate meeting new people', i mentally said to myself, the piano isn't helping me at relaxing like it usually does. Which means i need to chill the fuck out and kick back. Because anyone who knew me well enough that my anxiety will kick in and give me another attack and pass out. And i really don't want to make a first impression that way. Especially to people I'm going to spend 5 days in a week with.
I have been left in this music room that no one seem to use much until the man with white hair comes back from talking with my father. Kakashi, he is going to be my class advisor. A class full off elite children like me. The thing is i don't feel like an elite.
Im an adopted child of a world famous author turned publishing director of a well know publishing firm, which he opened independently.
Sudddely i hear the door of the music room open and kakashi-sensei pops his head in, not intending on coming in .
"naruto-kun, sorry for leaving you here"
"oh no, it's fine... um, where did my father go?" i asked with evidence of said anxiety showing. I tried swallowing it down.
"yes, he went off after we talked about some adult stuff"
The mentioning of 'adult stuff' sent me to a memory of my 12 year old self , finding one of my father's book that he claimed contains 'adult stuff'
So i asked no futher, my father was a busy man.
Kakashi- sensei gestured for me to follow him.
"don't be too nervous naruto-kun. My Anbus are all good children. Do not let the word elite fool you, they may be from some powerful families but they are all still 17 year old teen agers like you"
He was trying to comfort me, i looked at him, wondering if he somehow knew how to readminds.
"your piano...", he stated, as we walk through empty corridors to another empty corridor, i could hear voices of teachers calling out names from inside class room we pass.
"my. Piano?", i asked, confused
"the way you play piano" he said, glancing at my direction, "it's special, you had your eyes closed while you play, but by the looks of it you weren't recalling a piano piece you learned, it also kind of spoke to me" i looked at me breifly wondering if i understood what he meant, i did.
"The way you were playing it radiated so much anxiety, i could hardly breath "
I blushed at the thought of someone watching as i play the piano. "I'm sorry"
"Don't be... it was beautiful".
We continued to walk in silences, i like kakashi-sensei, at the moment he's like a person approaching a scared and injured tiny animal, he was handlimg me with safety gloves. But then everyone does. I hated that anout myself. And i aim to change that soon. Confidence and Indipendence is a trait i seem to lack.
Rather i have none.
Suddenly kakashi-sensei stops in front of a classroom door, i look up and at the sign that hangs beside the room door it has the word 'ANBU' written on it.
Inside this room will be my classmates starting today. I could feel the inky black tentacles of anxiety dancing around my stomach, i really hope they're nice.
The crow opens the door but gestures me to wait outside, i hear voices of annoyed people inside erupts, about kakashi-sensei always being late to classes.
Suddenly i memories of the 3rd orphanage pops uninvited into my mind, i felt myself pale and i unconsciously touch my left cheek making sure the make up is not rubbed off at some point.
I hear my name being mentioned by the familiar voice of kakashi-sensei, indicating me to walk in.
I shake as an attempt to snap myself out of that depressing time. "it's the past. The past is meant to be forgotten" i said to myself.
I take a deep breath and opened the door and entered. Closing the door behind me, it was so silent in the classroom that the click of the door closing behind me sounded like thunder.
I had my eyes facing down looking at nothing but my feet taking a step one after another, like im making sure i don't stumble and crack my skull open in front of everyone. Talk about a first impression.
I got to the side of kakashi-sensei at the front of the class. The whole time feeling the burning stares of everyone in the room.
"Uzumaki-san if you please, please introduce yourself to everyone", said kakashi-sensei.
I closed my eyes, took a deep breath once again, i steeled myself.
Once i got the courage i faced up and opened my eyes. My tongue got caught. I looked at everyone in the room one by one. They all have strong capable sense about all of them,'are they all japanese?' i thought to myself.
There was a girl with pink, PINK, hair and green eyes. It sounded ridiculous but she looked really cute and she made it work... wait, i've seen her before. ... sakura? Sakura haruno? I was there when father took me to one of his close friends tsunade-baachan when i got sick.
And there was a picture of her in tsunade-baachan's offices, sakura in the picture was holding a phd in multiple science degrees at age 16.
Sakura is one of tsunade-baachan's proud students, 'why is she attending high school, when she's a Doctorate Degree?'
Then i noticed i looked around, i can point out most of these classmates of mine maybe my age but all of them have minds the surpasses a mere high school students.
'how do i know this?' i've been to most of the award ceremonies and competitions they have been to, father took me to them. ' coincidence?'
Suddenly my suprised gaze connected with another, with someone who seated at the back, behind a person with a book on his face. Him. I've never seen him before though.
But the way he's looking at me, with such intensity , like... like he either wants to tackle me to ground and beat me up or grab me and take me to a room when he can explore me. Which confused because I'm not quiet sure i like either but i feel my self lean for the latter.
This person is dark. Everything about him shows coldness and black. He has raven like coloured hair, dark brown eyes, so dark it's almost black and porcelain skin.
I hated the dark, i hated not being able to see the cold feeling it gives you. Thats why i wear colorful clothes anything that my eyes feels happy to see, that's why i don't have clothes that is black. Always colorful. But this person he makes me feel things i've never felt before and it makes me very uncomfortable.
There was electricity between us, suddenly I'm enveloped in a powerful familiar glomp. And the connection is broken, and snapped me out of the stranger's hypnotizing gaze, i felt a weird disappointed feeling, which confused me further.
"hey naruto! How long are going to ignore meeeeee?"
[some of you probably know italics means they are speaking in english but just incase]
My gaze focused on the person who assulted my connection with the dark character at the back of the class.
my eyes connect with a familiar pastel green colored eyes that i could remember ever since i was young. A symbol of brotherhood and one of the first people who taught me that unbreakable bonds can be as strong as ones tied with blood.
I locked my arms around his slender waist, giving him a tight hug. I've missed him.
"GAARA!", with the mention of his name, my tanuki friend hugged me tighter in which i returned the favour.
Suddenly i hear crash from where the raven situated. He is standing up now, he looked annoyed? I notice his looking heatedly at the person im currently holding in a death hug. " oh no, could they be, is he the guy gaara talked about in his messages, his boyfriend?"
Suddenly a bitter taste invades my throat and it constricts.
Protests erupts as he made his way out
"dude! I almost shat my pants, that gave me a fright!", said the guy with the book on his face.
"where are you going uchiha? The bell has not rung", another guy asks annoyed , he has a natural brown hair but it's his eyes that expresses alot, they are white like pearls. They were pretty
The stranger hurried out the room and slamming the door open and closed.
A stinging pinch can suddenly be felt on my lower back "dont stare too much, that one's mine" say gaara hugging me
"but of course, im sorry"i apologised.
"haaaaaaaaa"a long troubled sigh came from kakashi-sensei," he left before you could even introduce yourself, well go on naruto-kun before someone else runs off".
A ferocious blush erupts on naruto's face when he realised that all he's been doing was stare at people the whole time he was there and has not uttered a word.
He buried his face in the crook of his best friend's neck in embarrassment, he's so embarrassed he can say anything, that thought of him just looking around like a weirdo.
"ngaaaaawwwwwwww naruto you are just soo adorable" said gaara," but really naruto, you should introduce yourself" releasing the blonde from his arms and making me face the class like i was some kind of offering.
Some of the girls in the class seem to think so as well, when i heard giggles, even a guy wearing a thick hoodie was making a full belly laugh.
"so um .. yeah ... my name is ... " im too nervous to form a proper sentence. 'come on Uzumaki! Cus say your name and say something nice!'. I looked straight up, i was probably sporting an embarrassing blushing face but i steeled myself."MY .. MY NAME IS UZUMAKI NARUTO, NICE TO MEET ALL OF YOU".
I finally said it! 'see naruto! You can do it as long as you try hard, confidence', patting myself on the shoulder.
"pfft!... ahahahahaaa!, there is never a dull moment with you naruto" i hear my best friend laughing, LAUGHING!, i was nervous as hell and he's laughing at my effort! The bitch!.
I look at gaara doubled over from laughing too hard like his stomach was hurting from laughing, i hoped he was in pain in a bad was, not laughing at me.
"what's so funny! you weirdo!", my best friends laughing was starting to hurt my feeling and now im pouting. Only gaara has the ability to make me pout , probably because he was like a brother to me, no, he was my brother, he thought me blood connections isn't what makes brotherhood.
"oooohh, that was great." The red head sniffed as he wipe off the tear that has escaped his eye. 'the ass was laughing hard enough to nearly piss himself !'
"im sorry naru-chan,-"
"don't call me that!" i interjected, but he was unfazed and continued what he was saying.
"that was a great intro, how about we try that again , but this time ... in Japanese"
Gaara finally dropped the mic.
I froze, i felt my face pale.
'I REALLY HATE MEETING NEW PEOPLE!'
