Wish me luck.

I thought, maybe with a little luck I would be able to fit it. I would find some friends and we would just hit it off. I didn't want to work really hard and I didn't want to try and impress anyone. So I asked the one closes to me to wish me luck. But wishing never helped me out before. Wishes are for dreamers and it hurts to know I'm not part of that category. Because my dreams could never be fulfilled by someone like me.

Or so I thought.

Just when I thought I would never amount to anything. Opportunity opens its door and allows me to step in. So that's why I asked the one closes to me to wish me luck. And maybe, just maybe this time…luck would become one of my best friends.

So wish me luck.

"Hey Haku?" Haku looked over to the blonde that was lying next to him in the grass. It was night time and they were sitting out side under an oak tree, under the large sky, where all the stars twinkled. Blue eyes were staring at him fixedly.

"What is it?" he asked him, breaking the silence. Blue eyes closed and hid under long, thick lashes.

"Even if I'm gone you'll still be my friend right?" Normally Haku would have hit him on the head for asking such a stupid question but the tone of voice told him that he was being serious.

"Course, no matter what happens I'll always be there for you." He bent down to kiss the blonde's forehead. He felt small arms wrap themselves around his waist and then a face was buried deep into the fabric of his kimono. He smiled to him self at the display of affection his little blonde friend was showing.

"Good" was them muffled answer "I would be here if it weren't for you, and I don't think I would live if you weren't here." Haku chuckled at him and began stroking his hair.

"Why don't you act you age once in a while?" A soft whine was his answer. "You act more like a five year old than a 15 year old. What am I going to do with you?" He chuckled when a hand pounded on him stomach.

"You're no older than me, so stop acting like an adult and enjoy your child hood, because before you know it…it'll be gone." Haku smiled sadly at that thought. Sadly for them their child hood was ripped away at a young age.

"Yeah…"he replied softly. "Hear rest your head on my lap." He lifted the blondes head and placed it on his lap. "Comfortable?" there was a soft nod and Haku smiled letting a silence wash over them. But that silence didn't last long when the same small voice spoke up again.

"I'm scared…" Haku looked down at his friend. The blonde was staring at the blue lights that danced around in the sky. His arms were curled protectively over his chest as he spoke. "I'm scared of what's going to happen" Haku continued to stroke his friend's hair.

"I'll be right here with you, step by step. You can do anything and I will always back you up, except giving this opportunity up. For that I will never forgive you, do you understand me? You have to prove to them…you have to show them for the both of us, show them you are something." I could practically see him smiling even though I was not looking at him. "Now cheer up, your going to school with the big boys now, if they see you like this, you'll be minced meat before the end of the first day"

"Ok" He replied. Haku felt his breathing even out and knew he had fallen asleep. But he didn't mind, he leaned against the bark of the oak tree. And before he closed his eyes he whispered just for him to hear.

"Go and follow your dream Naruto… I'll always be behind you…I promise you." That night they both fell asleep with a smile on their faces.

"Well I'm off then…" Naruto leaned in to hug Haku goodbye. He didn't want to let go but he did.

"Don't make it seem like you're going away forever, I'll see you this afternoon dummy. " Haku laughed at Naruto who was pouting.

"Ok fine see you later then." He was heading towards Konoha High School. It was a high school that only talented young men and women attended. Only those with special talents would be able to attend, and Naruto was one of those talented young men. According to his ninth grade teach he was a genius in about everything he did. Naruto was angry that no one recognized Haku even though they were both smart in every aspect.

But the stupid school would only accept one. In his opinion they should have taken Haku but Haku insisted they take him. It was an opportunity that was meant for only one of them, and Haku wanted him to take it. He sighed, there was no way out of this, and if he didn't want to do this for himself then he would do it for Haku.

There were classes for 9th graders all the way to 12th graders. But Naruto wouldn't be having classes in the grade he was meant to be in. He was moved up two grades because Iruka specifically asked the school board to put him in a class were he would be challenged. That meant he would be the youngest in the class. By a lot. Sighing he got to the gates of the school just as the bells rang. He walked to the main office where a young lady with black hair was sitting, typing on her computer. She looked up at him and smiled sweetly.

"Is there something I can help you with?" He nodded and walked over to her.

"I'm the transfer student, Uzumaki Naruto." She looked back at her computer screen and typed something. She apparently got what she was looking for because she looked back at him with a grin on he lips.

"Uzumaki Naruto I am Shizune, secretary for Tsunade-sama. Pleasure to meet you." She held out her hand and he quickly took it. "You're the one that was moved up two grades and will be taking the advanced courses am I right?" She sat back done and handed him his schedule.

"Yeah that's right" She smiled at him.

"You must be really smart Naruto-kun, there are a lot of talented young people in this school, but it takes a lot to move from a small school to a big school like this and manage to qualify for advanced courses. You're really special." she smiled at him. "Now if you'll just wait over there Tsunade will come out in a minute." Naruto said his thank you, and sat down in one of the blue office chairs.

He wondered what this school would be like. Would be like any other school? How would the students act? He snorted, mostly likely snobby. He looked at his schedule.

1st-Art, Rm. 318-

2nd-History, Rm. 319-

3rd-Music, Rm.209-

4th-Math, Rm. 310-

He skimmed over the names of his teacher not bothering to learn their names properly. Just then the door opened and a blonde lady walked in, followed by a tall pale man, with short black spiky hair. His mouth was bandaged and his black eyes raked over Naruto. Naruto looked back at the women.

He first noticed her abnormally large breast and her honey colored eyes. She wore her hair in to loose pigtails that draped over her shoulder. Shizune greeted the two of them.

"Hello Tsunade-sama" She waved at the man who gave her a small nod. "And you Zabuza-san, this is Uzumaki Naruto" She pointed at Naruto, who stood up and looked Tsunade up and down.

"YOU'RE our principle!" Tsunade looked smug as Naruto continued to look at her.

"Yes and this is the Assistant Principle" She points at the man standing behind her. "And you are Uzumaki am I correct?" Naruto could only nod. "Well welcome to Konoha High, I hope you enjoy here." She gave him a big smile, her hands gripped her hip. "Shizune show him around."

"Hey, hey, how old are you?" Naruto said with a suspicious glare.

"Hey brat, don't you know not to ever ask women their age?" Tsnuade screeched one hand on her chest.

"Oh, Naruto-kun don't be fooled by her looks, she's almost fifty" Shizune said behind her hand. Then she took Naruto's hand and dragged him out of the office laughing.

"I heard that!" Tsunade screamed after them.

"So this is your first class, I hope you have fun, I have to tell you that your teacher is one to be late everyday ok, now have fun" She started to walk away.

"W-wait, what about my other classes" Shizune stopped and turned to look at Naruto.

"I dunno, ask around" Then she left.

Naruto looked at the oak door in front of him. He took a deep breath and opened the door and stepped in. all chattering stopped and everyone turned to stare at the chalk covered Naruto.

He blinked owlishly, as he felt the chalk dust tickle his nose. Before he could stop himself he sneezed loudly, causing dust to rise off his skin.

"Now that wasn't nice" A voice drawled from behind him making him jump.

"Well it wasn't meant for him, it was meant for you, and you're late!" A voice that came from a boy with strange markings on either side of his face. His hair was brown and spiky, and he carried a dog that sat on his head.

"Should I give you detention, Mr.Inuzuka?" Inquired the voice from behind Naruto. A large hand on his shoulder kept him from turning around to see who it was.

"You wouldn't? It wasn't my fault the stupid elementary kid walked in before you!" The boy yelled in outrage.

"Does that give you a right to do what you did?" The voiced asked with amusement.

"Well if you weren't late every day then I wouldn't have the time to try and prank you, now would I?" they boy said with a sneer and some of the students nodded their head in agreement.

"Well this time there was a dog that was drowning and I had to give it CPR."

"Kakashi-sensei you used that one last week." A girl with bubble gum pink hair piped up.

"Did I? Kiba sit down" The large hand released Naruto and he turned around to see his teacher. He wore a mask that hid half his face and one eye from view. He wore black jeans and a read turtle neck. His one visible eye was curved in a crescent moon shape, showing his obvious amusement. "And you" he pointed to Naruto "Get back to class, kids shouldn't be roaming the halls at the time of day." He pushed Naruto aside and walked into the room.

"B-but, wait a minute, is this art class?" Kakashi nodded his head. "Well then pleasure to meet you" he held out his hand. "I am your new student Uzumaki Naruto" He emphasized his name for those who could hear. Surely there would take him seriously once they found out he was their new class mate.

What he wasn't expecting was a huge roar of objections to his presence.
