Gone By The Wind [SasuNaru]

Chapter 1

The sound of the birds singing and the trees waving were enough for me to officially get out of my bed. I didn't have the energy to go but I didn't want to act querulous after I fought so hard for my position.

I did a few stretches before entering the bathroom. I removed my clothing and hopped into the shower. The overwhelming thoughts bombarded my brain however I tried to maintain my equanimity. I wanted this first day to be great for me. Better than how high school treated me.

Its not that I was the weird kid or nerd but I had a lot of trouble understanding my identity. I surrounded myself with the wrong group of people in hopes for a better status. I wasn't myself. It's like I was playing a character.

I quickly washed away my thoughts and hopped out the shower. I placed the towel on me and brushed my teeth. After that, I picked out the appropriate clothes necessary for college. There wasn't a tight dress code. I decided to wear a black short sleeve crewneck with a nice pair of comfortable pants. Comfortable meaning, sweatpants. Maybe not so appropriate now that I'm thinking about it.

I passed by the kitchen, to the living room. I do not eat breakfast anymore. There is a reason behind that but it hurts too much to say. I grabbed my backpack with a water bottle on the side and mentally prepared myself for this new journey.

The building wasn't far from my house so there was no need for me to drive there or take the bus there. Despite the building being close, the weather wasn't on my side.

It felt as if the sun was 2 feet away from me. Maybe I shouldn't have wore black. I quickened my pace and prayed that the building was at least a bit cooler.

I finally reached my destination. I immediately walked in to protect myself from the indulging heat.

I smiled mentally, grateful that the interior of the building was nice and cool. I looked around to see the groups of people surrounding the hallways, blocking the lockers. I do not plan on making friends. I want to enter this experience as neutral as possible.

I looked over at my schedule on my phone. I had English first period. I walked around to find my room number. I had no idea what I was doing to be honest. I felt like every time I thought I was there, the numbers would start scratching out and start repeating again. It was like a maze.

I grabbed my water bottle, I figured it take me a while to find my English class but I did have time. Class doesn't start until 10 minutes.

I walked around again, taking a few sips of water. Unfortunately for me, my sense of direction were on the numbers of the doors and not what was ahead of me.

I felt my body push into another individual. I ended up falling on top of this person. I sat there shocked once I saw that my water had spilled all over him. He looked pissed.

"Can you get off me?" He hissed.

I Immediately got up. I tried offering a hand but he ignored it.

"I'm sorry."

He didn't respond. He was trying to get the water I had spilled off of him.

"Let me help." I offered.

"No."

"Y-you sure? I think I have some napkins." I said

"Get out of my sight or I'll slap the shit out of you." He said, looking at me with such sinful eyes.

The man was a bit taller than me and looked tough. I did not want to get into a fight already. I quickly nodded and made my way out of that situation.

I felt really bad but if someone were to do that to me, I wouldn't be mad. Well, I'd be mad but I wouldn't express anger.

I kept walking until I found the correct door that matched my schedule. The door was already open and not much students were present. I quickly introduced myself to the teacher and sat in the back.

There it was, first period started. Unlike Highschool, college schedules are different. I have huge gaps between periods so more breaks. Also, one of the main things are dorms.

I do plan on having a dorm just because it's much cheaper than actual rent. I really hope that the person who I dorm with isn't a prick and respects boundaries.

I returned back to reality and scanned the now crowded area of people. It was the first day for me, not everyone else so people already seem to know each other.

The teacher began speaking and the noise began to decrease. I couldn't wait to get this over with.

"Alright students. Today is a day we talk of debating topics. Hint hint, you'll have an essay about one of them. Now, you can work with a partner or a triad of your choice. I just need you to write as much as you can on a piece of paper so tomorrow we can discuss which one we should officially debate about." The teacher said.

I mentally screamed at the words "partner" and "triad". I'd be fine independently. I used to be a very optimistic person but it all changed with just one loss.

I took out a piece of paper and a pen and began jotting down some ideas.

"Hey."

I Look to see a guy with shiny black hair and nice bushy eyebrows.

"Hello?" I respond back.

"I don't recognize your face."

"Im new." I replied.

"Oh, well hello!! Im Lee, short for rock lee." He said enthusiastically.

"I am naruto uzumaki."

"Naruto, that's such a nice name. How is it so far?" He asked.

"It's been okay for now. It's only my first period. I did accidentally spill a drink on someone, they didn't take it lightly." I said, remembering the scene that had occurred.

"Wait.. I feel like it was my friend. He hates when people do that. What did he look like?" He asked.

"He had like this duckbutt hair, strong black eyes and he was like tall, I didn't really pay attention to anything else." I replied

"oh my."

"what? Was that your friend?"

"No. Even worse. That's sasuke uchiha..." he uttered.

That name doesn't ring a bell at all.

"H-he's extremely popular. He hangs out with all the other cool kids. His father basically owns this school."

"What are we? High schoolers? There's no popular or anything here. It's college." I replied.

"No. You don't understand, he can ruin your life. He's an asshole. The only thing going for him is his good looks." Lee said. "Just do your best to avoid him."

"oh.. okay.. I'll try." I said.

"I'm surprised you made it out alive."

"Yeah.."
