Chapter one
Lazy Days and Afternoon Spats.
Naruto groaned as he turned
off his blaring alarm clock. “I’m up I’m up!” me mumbled throwing off the
covers. Getting out of bed he yelped as his entangled feet trapped him causing
him to lose balance and fall.
“Owwwww” he moaned holding
his abused head. “Damn sheets.” He grumbled untangling his legs and getting up.
“Gya!” he said looking at his
clock. Quickly he dashed into the bathroom and hoped into the shower.
“Yipes!” he said skidding
backwards from under the freezing spray.
“Why me” he moaned 15 minutes
later after he was dressed and groomed. Grabbing his cup ramen he boiled the
water and waited, not patiently, for his ramen to be done.
“Finally!” he said digging
into his food and devouring it like a hungry wolf. Finishing it quickly he put
his shoes on, grabbed his bag and was out the door locking his apartment behind
him. He made it to school with one minute to spare.
“Thank Kami” he said slumping
into his seat. “Hello” said a soft feminine voice from beside him.
“Oh hello.” He said, in his
rush he hadn’t noticed the pretty girl sitting beside him. “Hi My names Uzumaki
Naruto.” He said rubbing the back of one hand and extending the other to the
girl beside him.
“Haku” was all she said
taking his hand. Naruto raised the
delicate hand to his lips and kissed the back of it softly, “nice to meet you.”
He smiled and released it.
Haku laughed. “Same to you”
A few girls behind Naruto
giggled. “What?” he looked confused and panicked.
Haku laughed again.
“Why are they laughing?”
Naruto asked, eyeing them suspiciously.
“It’s because I am a boy.”
Haku laughed once more, and Naruto joined him.
“Well I am very sorry” he
said a faint blush crossing his cheeks. “But if it means anything, I think you’re
the most beautiful person I’ve ever seen.” He smiled and rubbed the back of his
neck.
It was Haku’s turn to blush.
“Thank you” he said, his long chocolate brown hair shielding his face from
view.
The teacher entered the
classroom smiling brightly. “Good morning class” he greeted.
“Ohayo Iruka-sensei!” they
greeted back in unison.
“Okay okay, please take your
seats and we will begin today’s lesson.”
Pulling out his math textbook
Naruto sigh“Man“Man I hate math, and why does it have to be first thing in the
morning?” he groaned.
“I’ll help you if you want”
Haku said from beside him.
“Really!?style='font-size:10.0pt'> Thanks!” he exclaimed a little too loudly.
“Naruto-kun!”style='font-size:10.0pt'> Iruka scolded.
“Gomen sensei” Naruto
apologized rubbing the back of his head.
From the back of the class
Kiba snickered “what a moron.”
From beside him he heard the
familiar THUNK of Shikamaru’s head
hitting the desk. Looking over he saw that the lazy boy already had his entire
math work done and was sleeping soundly.
“Aww man this class blows.” He
mumbled. His thoughts drifted back to the cheerleading practice yesterday and
he smirked. “Too bad I have Soccer practice today; I would love to go watch
them again.”
The first couple of periods passed
quickly for Naruto and before he knew it, it was lunch time.
Looking at the menu for the
school food he frowned “No ramen” he moaned and ordered some rice stir fry of
some sorts. Looking around he saw Haku and sat beside him. “Hello again, Hope
you don’t mind my company” he grinned widely.
A little startled by his
appearance Haku looked at Naruto with his chopsticks halfway in his mouth “class=GramE>be my guest." He said through the delicious food. With
that Naruto plunked down on the other side of the table and stared at Haku for
a second before nearly throwing the food into his throat.
After food was eaten quickly,
on Naruto’s half at least, he waited for Haku to finish eating his food.
“This is sooo boring!” Naruto
exclaimed letting his forehead hit the table.
“We could go outside or
something if you like.” Haku said smiling and collecting his and Naruto’s
garbage
“You mean you still want to
hang out with me?” Naruto said looking up at the taller boy.
“Of course I do, why wouldn’t
I?”
Naruto was confused, “umm
just never mind common let’s go!” Before Haku had a chance to protest Naruto
had grabbed his wrist and was dragging him through the double doors and into
the hallway. He chuckled lightly, Naruto had so much energy.
Naruto had no idea where he was
going nor did he care, all that mattered was that Haku wanted to hang out with
him. Spotting a huge oak tree on top of a very friendly looking hill he dragged
Haku all the way to the top before he released the captive boys hand and sat
down.
“This is a really good spot.”
He said leaning against the base of the tree.
“Yes it is” Haku said sitting
in front of the blonde supporting his weight on his arms, which were stred
ed
out behind himself.
They sat there in a
comfortable silence for the rest of the lunch period before heading separate
ways. Naruto had art where as Haku had dance class. Naruto was sad that he
didn’t hHakuHaku in art class but he did meet another person that seemed
interesting during the period.
“Gaara I think his name was”
Naruto explained as he met up with Haku in front of the change rooms. “Well I
now know for sure that you’re a boy” he laughed as the entered the change room
together.
“Well considering that this
is an all boy’s gym class he’d have to be” sneered a voice
from behind. Naruto turned around to glare at who ever made the comment and
blue eyes met black.
“Who the hell do you think
you are listening in on other people’s conversations?” his glared harder at the
raven haired boy.
“I am Uchiha Sasuke and I can
listen to what ever conversations I may please.” He glared right back. How dare
this boy talk back to him! Does he even know who he is messing with? Sasuke
thought.
“I don’t give a fucking shit
if you were the emperor himself! Keep you stuck up nose in your own business”
Naruto snarled and turned to leave. He felt a hand grab his shoulder “Don’t you
dare turn your back on me” Sasuke growled.
In one swift movement Naruto
turned and landed a punch to the side of Sasuke’s pale face. Not expecting it
Sasuke stumbled back releasing Naruto’s shoulder and clutching his cheek.
Naruto turned and exited the change room Haku following behind closely. The
change room was silent.
Sasuke started chuckling and
anyone left quickly took their leave.
It turned out that the gym
class was cancelled due to the instructor having left a period before sick.
“Well there goes that class”
Naruto cheered. Him and Haku exited through the gym doors and headed towards
the bleachers by the football field. “I wish I could go home but I have stupid
practice after school” he muttered cursing the principal.
Haku laughed “if it makes you
feel any better I have the same practice, I saw you yesterday but I guess you
didn’t notice me through your cursing.”
Naruto laughed. “Guess not,
but that great!” it took all of his resist to to not jump up and hug the boy.
Naruto and Haku were smiling
and laughing until Naruto frowned looking at the people heading towards them.
It was Sasuke and couple of
their classmates. Haku sat beside his friend frowning slightly “class=GramE>be careful” he hissed “he’s strong” Naruto nodded but kept
his glare set on the older boy.
Although he had all grade 12
courses Naruto had only recently turned 16. So he was a year younger than
everyone else in his classes, but that didn’t matter to him. He was confident
that he could defend himself and Haku.
“What do you want?” Naruto
sneered when Sasuke and his group finally reached the bleachers.
“You’re sitting on style='mso-bidi-font-style:normal'>my bleachers” Sasuke sneered right back.
“I don’t see your name on it”
Sasuke just pointed to a spot
further down the benches. There in bold letters was Uchiha Sasuke burned into
the wood.
“Whatever. Like I’d want to
sit somewhere you’ve been anyway.” He got up and left. Haku looked worriedly from
Sasuke to Naruto’s retreating form before getting up and following his friend.
style='mso-spacerun:yes'>
“Do you have something
against Sasuke-kun?” He asked once he caught up with the fuming blonde.
Naruto sighed and lent
against the Oak tree. “It’s nothing personal against Sasuke himself. It’s just
at my old school it was guys like him who made my life a living hell and it
pisses me off to see that here too.”
“I see. Well Sasuke-kun isn’t
mean you know, only to his enemies.”
“Whatever” Naruto muttered
calming himself down. There was something about that Uchiha guy that he just
didn’t like, but he wasn’t going to tell Haku that. Normally he would never
back down from a fight, especially from the likes of someone like Sasuke, but
Haku was there and he didn’t want to frighten him off. Looking towards the
clouds he smiled, it was a good day for cloud gazing.
“Hey Haku”
“Hmm?”style='font-size:10.0pt'>
“Thanks”
“For what?”style='font-size:10.0pt'>
“For being
my friend.”
Haku smiled at Naruto “Thank
you for being mine.”
