The guardian chronicles : Nirvana (Todoroki Shoto x Uzumaki Naruto)

Chapter 10

At six, there was only one other person that Naruto longed to get the approval of and that was her teacher in the Academy. Hiraoka Sabura. That was his name. He was her very first teacher in the Academy and teachers were people that children should be able to trust. Teachers cared about children and listened to their problems.

Naruto saw the way their teacher comforted Sakura after Ami bullies her for having a large forehead. It isn't even that big. She thinks of several insults that can be used to describe about the bully. Sakura was pretty and she was not stupid like Ami. Of course Naruto doesn't know how to tell Sakura what she thinks. The thought of approaching Sakura makes her feel funny and she doesn't like that funny feeling.

She thinks their teacher was kind and nice, so maybe he might be nice to her. It was why Naruto spends most of the night doing the science worksheet that he assigned them to do. She spent hours doing it, checking and double checking for any errors because sometimes Hiraoka-sensei will say that her answer wasn't there. It was correct. But Sensei was really strict when it came to marking her worksheets.

He never gives her full marks but Naruto thinks that maybe she didn't word it properly. She makes excuses for him because Hiraoka-sensei was nice to Sakura and all the other kids that were being bullied. It never crosses her mind that maybe he was being unjust to her...because teachers were supposed to be fair. She only understands the truth when Ami grabs her worksheet from her desk.

She sat right beside Sasuke and smiled happily at her worksheet. Most of their classmates didn't arrive yet and wouldn't arrive until five minutes before class starts. Only three people comes to class this early: Naruto, Sasuke and Ami. Ami always stares at Sasuke with weird eyes and her classmate either ignores her or looks at Naruto. Sometimes, she catches her classmate staring at her hair.

He was just as strange as his fangirls.

Ami walked in through the class and instead of going to her usual spot right beside Sasuke, she makes a beeline to Naruto. I don't wanna be her friend. It had to be the only reason Ami would come to her. She wanted to become friends with her, but Naruto doesn't want it. She doesn't like bullies; they were mean to everyone and don't actually have any friends. Naruto wants to make friends. Actual friends.

She doesn't want fake friends like Ami did.

Ami smirked and grabbed the worksheet from her table. Naruto froze and just watched in horror as her classmate took out her eraser and removed Naruto's name from the worksheet. She doesn't know why it took her so long to act out. All she knew was that her classmate took her work. The work she spent hours doing was taken away from her.

"Give it back!" Naruto yells and charges straight at the purple-haired girl. Her blue eyes flared with anger and the purple-haired girl froze before bolting from her spot. Sasuke just kept quiet, didn't even try to stop Ami even when Naruto turned to him and silently begged him to help her with his crazy fangirl.

Ami would listen to him because she loves him, which is kind of silly when she thinks about it. Naruto doesn't know how Ami can love him. They were only six and boys were icky if you asked her.

"It is mine!" Naruto screams as the girl continued to run circles around her. Bitch. She wanted to say the word so badly but the Hokage scolded her when she called his secretary that word. We don't use foul language, Naruto. She doesn't want to be scolded by Hiraoka-sensei.

She was about to spring on the girl, only to blink when Hiraoka-sensei walks into the classroom with an irritated look. Time seemed to freeze and there was only one thought going through Naruto's mind. Ami is going to get into trouble. She opens her mouth to tell him that Ami was trying to pass off the work that Naruto worked so hard on, as hers.
