The first day of school is always filled with mixed emotions. Some students are excited about the new year, with new prospects for both love and heartache. Some are just grateful that they are one step closer to being done with the daily grind of books and teachers. Either way, the students of the Hidden Leaf High School were busy chatting in their seats and uniforms, still excited from the summer break. It was the last year, for this class. The ages spanned between 16 and 18 years old. Some had turned into legal adults over the break, while others had birthdays later in the year. Naruto Uzumaki, who was going to turn 18 in October, was one of those students. He was busy staring outside his window seat, not really paying attention to the chatter. His nearly adult mind was elsewhere.
"Ne, Ne! Naruto!" Snapping out of it, Naruto finally noticed that his childhood friend, and ongoing crush, was extremely close to his face. Her pink hair and lips teased him, forcing a flustered blush from his cheeks. "Ne, yourself, Sakura...What do you want?" Giggling, she gave a shrug before turning her back and took a seat in her own desk two rows over from him. She made sure to smooth out her pleated skirt, resting her attractive round face on her palm. Naruto could only blink, running his hand through the cropped cut blonde hair on top of his head. Turning from the seat in front of him, Shikimaru gave a smirking grin. "Rumor has it she's ready to ask you out this year, Naruto. Get ready to be confessed too." Again, Naruto blinked, before waving his other friend off. "I confessed like five times already. She always said no, because she liked Sasuke." "Well Sasuke transferred three years ago, when his yakuza brother came and got him. Women are fickle." "Don't compare Sakura to Hinata, Shiki..." "Hey, we've been dating for two years now. Take my advice on some things." Sighing, Naruto moved to look out the window again, but his blue eyes did wander to look over at Sakura. Indeed, she was looking at him. Smiling, and waving. It was...odd. "If I can get your attention, class." The homeroom teacher, Mr. Iruka, tapped a ruler on his desk to quiet down the noise. "We have a new student, in a manner of speaking." Eyes focusing, the class instantly recognized the 'new' student. With spiked black hair and overgrown bangs, Sasuke Uchiha took a deep bow. "Good morning..." "Sasuke, you can have a seat in the back for now. You remember Naruto, right?" "Huh?" Naruto turned, wondering why the seat next to him was empty. He suddenly remember that Neji had graduated early from summer courses. Sasuke nodded, finding himself in the middle between Sakura and Naruto. The dark eyes looked straight ahead, before moving to look as he fiddled with his set of books and desk. Naruto constantly stared, stiffening up when Sasuke looked back. Unexpectedly, he gave a polite smile and a soft bow of acknowledgement. Naruto instantly nodded back, his gaze softening. "Alright class, let's get your Japanese History books open. Choji, would you please read from chapter 9." And just like that, life continued. The day of the class went forward, like every other day. During the lunch break, the girls moved to gossip in the corner as Sasuke left to eat his boxed lunch outside in a secluded area. "Hey, hey, Naruto? Can you believe that Sasuke would show his face again?" "Huh? What are you talking about?" "You know! His brother is in the Yakuza! He left Sasuke in the orphanage just like you when his parents were killed in that gang thing! Then he came back and took Sasuke to be in the gang with him!" "What? That's crazy...Sasuke would never..." "I bet he has a tattoo now! Tattoos are so cool..." Rolling his eyes, Naruto left the chattering to the girls and headed out. He never ate lunch outside...but suddenly had the urge. It had been three years since Sasuke left him, despite Naruto begging him to stay. They even got into a fight about it... Naruto was also an orphan, his parents dead from a car accident soon after he was born. Being put in the orphanage, he was around six when he met Sasuke. Apparently, his parents were in the Yakuza and got killed from a territory dispute. His elder brother had to leave for the business, and Sasuke was clueless. Being in the orphanage since he was practically born, Naruto took Sasuke under. Despite the constant bickering...they really were best friends. When Sasuke's brother, Itachi, finally came back, Naruto didn't want him to leave. But what could he do? That was Sasuke's real family, not him. They left on bitter terms, though Naruto did try to write. Sasuke never wrote back. With all these old memories, Naruto found himself around the corner, facing an old wooden bench from the school's old track yard. It wasn't in use anymore, only bits of overgrown equipment left over from what wasn't taken up from the building expansion. Sitting on the ledge was Sasuke, holding his bento and chopsticks with a piece of tomato being slowly chewed on. "You...still like tomatoes, huh?" Sitting down next to him, Naruto opened his own boxed lunch. Inside was a small salad, which he used his own chopsticks to transfer his slices of the red fruit to Sasuke's box. "I don't eat mine, but since you left, I had no one to give them too. It's good you came back." Suddenly, the distance that was between them closed as if it was never there in the first place. Picking one up, Sasuke popped it into his mouth. "It's good. You're missing out." "Well, give one back then." "No, you gave them to me." "Come on, Sasuke. Don't be selfish!" Pulling the box back, Sasuke continued to eat them off and dodge Naruto's attempts. "All gone." Author's Notes: Hello! This story is a simple story, written in the 'real world'. No ninjas, magic, summoning, demons, or anything else. I had this in mind for awhile now, and wanted to write a sweet love story with teenage characters with a more realistic tone. This is not a part of the 'Desert' series, but will have some of the same pairings, including the Original Characters (Shiro, Akane, and perhaps Kana, Tsuki, and Shino). However, this does stand alone. As I'll be updating the 'Desert' story, I'll update this one as well. Anyway, I hope you all will enjoy it!While AFF and its agents attempt to remove all illegal works from the site as quickly and thoroughly as possible, there is always the possibility that some submissions may be overlooked or dismissed in error.
