Irresistible

New Friends and A... Crush?

"Watch it, dumbass!"
"Sorry, my bad." I groan spitting an apology from my lips for maybe the fiftieth time today. This small town high school is shit for someone who hasn't even been here but three hours.

"Hey you!"
I turn around,
"Me?" I ask slightly confused that for once someone isn't calling me a dumbass for accidentally bumping into them.

"Yeah, man. You're new here right?"
I study the brown haired boy standing in front of me. His face tattoos, his nose ring and the smirk that lines his lips practically screams 'player'. I nod replying to his question.
"Naruto." I say grinning. He grabs my hand, shaking it roughly,
"Inuzuka Kiba." I grin, a slight chuckle coming from my throat.

"You're the only person since school started that hasn't yelled at me." I say trying to make decent conversation. He pats my shoulder rougher than I had braced myself for,
"Don't worry about it, dude. Half the people in this school are pricks." He casually says while laughing.

"Kiba!"
"Shit dude! Hide me!" Kiba suddenly grabs my shoulders and squats behind me looking around from behind my leg.
As soon as Kiba's fingers latch onto my pants leg a pink haired girl emerges from a nearby hallway. I look back and fourth from Kiba to her for a minute, her figure screams 'good girl' but Kiba acts as if she's Lucifer himself. She places her hands on her hips and sighs staring at the energetic boy hiding behind me.

"Kiba I'm not stupid, I can totally see you."
"No you can't, forehead!"
"What'd you say?! Did Ino put you up to this?!"
"Ino can suck my ass for -"
"Um, I really don't understand how I'm important to this argument." I say looking back and forth from them both. The pink haired girl blinks looking me up and down,
"Who are you?"
"Naruto." I reply watching Kiba stand up from the corner of my eye.
"He's the new guy I was telling you about in first period, duh." Kiba says slanging one arm around my neck.

"It's the first day back and you idiots already have me wanting to strangle you all." My eyes wander behind Sakura where raven hair comes into view. His eyes meet mine and at that instance my heart stops. You've gotta be kidding me...

"Sasuke!" Sakura squeals latching onto his arm.
"Hn," He answers pulling his arm from her grasp. "Who are you?" He asks making eye contact with me once again. I gulp taking in his features,
"Na-Naruto," I mentally slap myself for sounding like a nervous girl, "I'm Naruto Uzumaki." I see a smirk play on his lips.
"Uchiha Sasuke."

My heartbeat increases at the sound of his voice. I quickly look away from him and turn around to face Kiba,
"He's an asshole," He says glaring at Sasuke, "all the girls love him and refuse to even look my way, much less any other guys."
"So he's popular?" I ask shifting my binder in my arms. Kiba snickers,
"You could say that, although some would argue that his popularity may just have to do with the money his family has."

"Hm." I whisper glancing at him from the corner of my eye. I study him closer, his plain white tshirt and black skinny jeans don't exactly scream 'rich', arrogant maybe, but rich? No.

Sasuke-Kun!"
"Of course.." Kiba mutters running a hand through his already messy hair.
A streak of blonde runs by me and clings herself to Sasuke.
"That's Ino, by the way." Kiba says groaning.
"I take it you like her?"
Kiba's cheeks turn a shade of pink,
"Ew, fuck no dude."
A smile forms in the corner of my lips as he tries to persuade me that Ino is just another girl at this school.

"Plus Ino is clingy and she wears revealing clothing!" Kiba says throwing his arms toward the blonde haired girl.
A laugh brings our attention behind us,
"Really Kiba? We all know you've been fantasizing about Ino since middle school." Kiba groans turning around,
"Wow, thanks Shikamaru." I smile at the brown ponytailed boy who raises an eyebrow.

"You must be the 'hot' new kid all the girls were talking about last period." The boy named Shikamaru says studying me.
"What?" I blink a few times before putting my hand on my neck, rubbing nervously, "I'm sure they wasn't talking about me."
Shikamaru chuckles then sticks his hand out to me,
"Shikamaru Nara."
"Naruto Uzumaki." I say shaking his hand.

Well seems like most of the gang you've already met, Naruto." Sakura says from Sasukes side.
"Oh this is the new kid?!" Ino asks running over and cupping my face with her hands.

"Awe, you're adorable!" She coos. I gently pull my face away from her,
"Yes, well, I'm Naruto." I say rubbing the feeling of her hands from my cheeks.
"Well, Naruto, seems like you're part of our group now!"
"Wait, who said I was in this group?" Shikamaru asks stuffing his hands in his pockets.

A sudden slap to the head leaves Shikamaru obviously in pain and Kiba hiding behind me,
"I do, so shut up." Ino says dusting her hands off. I look around at. Well at least it seems there wont be a dull moment around here..

I glance at Sasuke to find him already staring at me. Immediately my heart starts beating rapidly, I do the only think I can do, smile. He raises and eyebrow and shakes his head turning his back toward the group. Fuck, Naruto...real smooth.
