Chapter 1 – We're not in Georgia anymore…
Naruto sat in a light pink office, surrounded by papers and pictures of the school. He had just moved schools from his little town in Georgia, to a large sleek school in LA. A slim woman with large boobs and blonde hair sat behind the oak desk, filling out the last few needed paperwork, before Naruto could go on his way.
"Now Naruto, here is your timetable and your keys to your dorm, you will be sharing with 3 other people, but you have your own bedroom. I've arranged for one of our students, Kiba Inuzuka, to be your guide for a while, he is in most of your classes too" She looked up from the sheets and smiled, an air of authority hung around her that would make any grown man cower.
"Have a nice day" Naruto took that as his cure to leave, standing; he nodded at her in thanks, before exiting the office into a yellow hallway. The school itself was rather intimidating, and he was sure the people in it would probably match the posh exterior and vibrant interior.
Before he could do anything, a brunette bounded up to him with a cheeky grin on his face. In return, Naruto felt a grin of his own move onto his face, the boy held his hand out for Naruto to shake. "I'm Kiba, I presume your Naruto?" Naruto nodded and after shaking the offered hand, shoved his own into his pockets, glancing around at the now bustling halls.
"A bit different to my old school, I'm so going to get lost here" Naruto said, as Kiba led him towards his dorm, to drop of any luggage, before first lesson began.
"You came from Georgia, right? My sister moved there after she left school, loves the food. Anyway, what number are you again?" Kiba asked, glancing down at the key Naruto pulled out of his pocket, it read 215. "Great! You're with me! Though you're also with the two most anti-social bastards you'll ever meet" Naruto raised an eyebrow at that.
"Really? Well I'll probably annoy them, 'cos I sure like a good conversation" They laughed and Kiba let them in, walking to one of the four doors in the room. "Is this my room? Thanks, I'll be out in a sec" Kiba nodded and headed into the kitchen.
The room was plain; the walls a soft brown, a single bed to match, along with a single wardrobe and a desk. Another door led into a small bathroom with a toilet, sink and shower. Naruto smiled; he could get used to living here, as long as he could change up the colours - he would be fine.
He quickly washed his face, having had a long journey and switched shirts, before grabbing a smaller bag with a pencil case, notepad and his timetable in it. He exited his room, making sure to close the door after him. Just as he did so, the door directly opposite his opened and a boy his age walked out. He had hair as black as tar, shaped somewhat like a duck-butt; pale skin was covered by a white shirt. Blue eyes met onyx, the eyes watching him seemed to narrow and without a hello or anything they were gone, as the boy walked into the kitchen, just as Kiba emerged.
The brunette just rolled his eyes and pulled a face at the pale back, before winking playfully at Naruto. "C'mon Blondie, we've got a class to get to" Naruto pouted at the new nickname but pushed it aside; he could tell Kiba was just messing around.
Once they were outside, Kiba sighed. "That, my friend, was Sasuke Uchiha, heart throb and dick-head. Just ignore him; he doesn't bother himself with 'us peasants'" they both scoffed and walked into a large class, taking a seat near the back. Kiba sat next to Naruto behind two other boys, who turned to greet them.
"Guys this is Naruto" Naruto mock saluted them and grinned as they nodded back. "Blondie, meet Shikamaru and Chouji, my best buds" He glanced over the pair; they seemed nice enough.
"Nice to meet you" A chubby hand extended a bag of potato chips to him, he grinned and took one, assuming that it was a sort of way into the group. "God these rooms are huge!" Shikamaru shrugged and turned back around to lay his head on the desk, his breathing slowing until he was dozing.
Chouji shook his head, and turned to Naruto. "Just ignore Shika, he's just too lazy to hold a conversation - nothing personal" Naruto nodded and got out his notebook, doodling in the back, listening to the boys chatting, before he noticed the same guy from before walk in.
Their gaze met briefly and it soon turned into another glaring battle, as Sasuke took the table along from theirs, not making conversation with anyone. Giggles ran through the room and girls fought over the seat next to the raven, as he continued to act as if they weren't there.
"What's his problem? I'd be flattered if girls loved me like that" Kiba just shrugged, grimacing at the squeals that filled the air.
"Don't know man, don't know…" His eyes lit up when three girls walked over, sitting behind them. "Hello ladies, I would like to introduce you to Blondie here; Ino, Hinata, Sakura, meet Naruto"
Naruto grinned at them as they smiled back. The blonde one leaned forward, ruffling his hair. "Finally, another blonde! I'm Ino, nice to meet you" Naruto winked at her and swung his gaze around the classroom, seeing the pretty pinkette gazing shyly at Sasuke. Ino also noticed her line of vision. "Sakura, quit the staring, either go talk to him or stop it" Sakura blushed and lightly punched the other girl.
"I've tried talking to him, he doesn't listen" Naruto frowned at that, why did the guy ignore such pretty, nice young girls.
"What a dick, I don't even see what's so special about him" Sakura frowned and went to yell at him for insulting her Sasuke, when a teacher walked in the door. The room fell silent, as people filed into their seats, waiting for the man to start speaking.
"Hello class, um, is a Naruto Uzamaki here?" Naruto raised his hand slightly, half smiling at the man, who nodded and scribbled something down. "Right, as most of you know, my name is Iruka, today, we are studying one of the best romance novels of all time, Romeo and Juliet" A contrast of groans and squeals filled the air, "That's enough, the story is a great one of love and sadness" It was obvious that the girls were delighted, but most of the boys weren't too happy about the soppy story with a tragic end.
Naruto felt his mind wandering at the speech went on, figuring Kiba would let him copy his notes, he gazed out of the window, his mind running through everything that had happened in such a small amount of time, until the bell rang, signalling that their first lesson was over.
Kiba stood, waiting for Naruto to follow him, before they left the classroom, Kiba walking him to Biology. "Well Blondie, I'm in history so I guess I'll see you in an hour, meet you outside of the caf yeah?" Naruto nodded; making a mental note to check the map he was given.
He walked in and the teacher smiled at him, beckoning him over. "Hello, you must be Naruto. My name is Kurenai, and I will be teaching you most of your sciences. Hmmm let's see, the only one without a lab partner already is Sasuke Uchiha" Sasuke glanced up at hearing his name, his eyes instantly glaring at Naruto. "He's a bit hostile at times, but he'll warm to you, I'm sure" The last part was said very quietly, but blue eyes were busy exchanging glares with onyx ones.
Naruto sighed and slumped over to the boy, who watched his every move, until he was sitting next to him; Sasuke had obviously then decided to pretend Naruto didn't exist. Naruto rolled his eyes and decided to ignore him right back, two could play at that game.
"Ok class, today we are going to jump right in and dissect a sheep heart!" There were multiple winces and gag noises around the room, Naruto was fine with this stuff, he'd done it before. The only problem was who he had to do it with. "I will come around and give you the necessary equipment; work in your pairs to do this properly, your quality of work will decide whether or not you get any homework" Naruto glanced to Sasuke, who was cleaning up his space, still not acknowledging his presence.
"Yo Bastard, either stop acting like I don't exist, or I'll do it myself" Sasuke said nothing as he slowly turned his glare from the heart to Naruto, who felt slightly nervous, for reasons he couldn't fathom.
"Hn" Naruto almost growled as he grabbed the heart, dragging it over, so it was infront of him, he heard Sasuke's chair shift slightly. Naruto picked up the small knife, and began to make the needed cuts, so the heart would open enough for them to see inside.
Just as he was about to make the last few cuts, ignoring the screams and whimpers around him, a pale hand grabbed his wrist. Naruto looked up to Sasuke, who just took the knife out of his hands, and cut slightly left to where he was about to make his, seeing that that place was indeed a better place, he said nothing. "Dobe" Naruto stood mouth opening and closing like a fish.
"What did you call me teme?!" Sasuke just smirked at him and began to draw the bloody heart, ignoring the fuming blonde. Naruto cursed him under his breath, noticing Kurenai glancing in their direction and also began to draw, ignoring how Sasuke hadn't moved his chair away and ignoring the spark that was in the previously dead eyes.
By the time lunch came, Naruto was starving; he forgot how much actually working made him want to eat. He not only had to put up with hunger, but he had third lesson with the teme as well and for some unknown reason, they ended up sitting next to eachother again; glaring at eachother constantly.
Though it didn't matter that they didn't get much work done, as the teacher was more interested in texting her ex-boyfriend anyway. So the only entertainment they got was from eachother, though neither would admit that they had maybe enjoyed eachother's bickering as it gave them a challenge, someone who was on their level.
"I heard you nearly got into a fight with Uchiha during art" Kiba high fived Naruto ignoring the disapproving looks he got from the girls of the group.
"He was asking for it, what a prick" He smiled to himself, as they sat on a long table, each eating whatever food they had with them. "And I got paired with him in biology" Kiba snorted in amusement, before getting smacked over the head by Ino, who rolled her eyes at his behaviour.
"You never know Naruto, you two might end up friends, he usually just ignores everyone, so the fact that he acknowledged you, even if it was violent, says something right" Sakura nodded, gazing over to Sasuke, a small smile on her face, she had finally realised that Sasuke wasn't interested, so she just wanted him to be happy and she would do anything to make him happy.
"Good thing I don't like Sasuke anymore, eh? Now you can have him all to yourself" she sent a wink in Naruto's direction.
Naruto flushed, his cheeks turning the shade of a tomato as he choked on his apple. "W-What?!" Hinata giggled and patted his back softly. "Thanks. Sakura! Come back here and explain yourself!" Kiba had fallen of his seat laughing; even Shikamaru was chuckling, as his head lay on the table.
"That makes so much sense, of course Uchiha might be gay and that would explain his lack of interest in girls! Oh man this is great" Ino smirked and packed her stuff up, standing before grinning at Naruto with glee apparent on her face.
"You know, Naruto, I think we should investigate, and since you seem to be the closest anyone has gotten to Sasuke, a little flirting won't do any harm" Naruto hid his face in his arms, trying to calm himself down. "I mean you can just pretend you're bi or something" Kiba suggested, a smug look on his face.
"Um… well I guess now is a good time to tell you I'm gay" Ino squealed and latched onto Naruto's arm, shouting something about shopping buddies. "But that does not mean I fancy the teme!" He insisted, waving a fist in mock anger at his friend.
"Whatever you say Naruto-kun" Ino dragged Hinata away, chuckled to herself. Naruto just stared blankly at the door, until Kiba punched his head, a sly smirk on his face.
"Then you'll do it? You never know, you might get a boyfriend out this, I mean, the girls think he's hot right, so that means he is, yeah?" Naruto glared at Kiba, his cheeks still flushed.
"Well he didn't deny it" Chouji grinned, crumpling his family bag of chips.
"Some friends you guys are; I do not think Uchiha is hot!" The few people sitting around them smiled into their foods and went quiet, obviously listening into their conversation. "Ugh, you guys are such dickheads. Now Kiba, take me to my lessons" Kiba scoffed but stood, throwing his food into the bin as he waved at Shikamaru and Chouji.
The rest of the day went quickly, and Naruto did as much as he could to avoid the Uchiha, until he realised that he shared a dorm with him. "Aren't you glad it's Friday!" Kiba yawned and stretched, as he lounged on the couch, talking to Naruto through his bedroom door.
"Yeah, I've only been here a day and I'm already mentally exhausted" Naruto heard a scoff and he exited his room, only clad in his grey joggers.
"Dude, are you allergic to shirts? Or are you just getting ready for Uchiha?" Kiba winked playfully and dodged the punch that Naruto sent at him.
"You're just jealous of my sexy body" Naruto grinned and flexed, narrowly avoiding the pillow that was aimed at his head. He headed into the kitchen and filed through the cupboards.
"Yo Dude, I need to go help Hinata set up for a family do, I'll be back in a few hours, feel free to use my Xbox but if you break anything you're paying!" With that the front door slammed shut and Naruto was left in the comfortable silence of the apartment. He started to hum to himself, still trying to find something to feed his appetite.
"Do you ever stop eating Dobe?" Naruto jumped slightly, hitting his head off the cupboard door in shock. He turned to glare at the smirking Uchiha, pouting as he picked out some ramen, licking his lips in anticipation. He swerved around Sasuke who was happily munching on a tomato.
Naruto felt slightly awkward, feeling the air heat up; now wishing he had put a shirt on. Once the kettle was boiled he added the steaming water and turned to walk back to his room, when he crashed into a warm body. Naruto froze, glancing up nervously at the boy infront of him, a pale arm reached over his shoulder, trapping him.
"Um…. Teme?" Sasuke tensed, as if just realising what he was doing and a click sounded behind Naruto and Sasuke quickly backed off.
"Turn plugs off after you're done, Dobe" Sasuke remove himself from the room and soon Naruto could hear his door closing. He didn't know how long he just stood there, eating the ramen, his mind blank as his arm and mouth worked on their own.
When he was done and his brain able to work, he realised he had just stood there for half an hour. Shaking his head he decided to shower, hoping the water would wash away some of his stress.
As the water came to the right temperature, he slipped in, sighing as his muscles relaxed. He bumped his head off the tiles when the only thoughts that plagued his mind where ones of Sasuke, Naruto couldn't deny that Sasuke was very handsome and his voice at times could be very sexy.
"Goddammit" He heard the front door open, but it didn't sound like Kiba. Deciding he had had enough, he threw a towel around his waist, and realised he left his IPod on the couch. He quickly opened his door and grabbed it, glancing at the other male in the room.
He had long brown hair, pale skin and blue-purple eyes. What was it around here and people being pale? Naruto shook the thought out of his head and sent him a small smile, before shuffling into his room; locking the door after him.
He remembered what Kiba had told him and if Sasuke was anything to go by, this guy was sure to be just as anti-social. There he went again, thinking of Sasuke.
God this was going to get annoying…
Not sure how long this story's going to be… depends on what you want I guess :)
