"Sasuke, good morning!"

"Sasuke!"

"Sasuke, look this way!"

"Oh my god, he's looking my way!"

His little fan girl group couldn't have flooded us at a more convenient time for this lying bastard. As we neared the school gates, we couldn't avoid the group of girls waiting for Sasuke. Seeing this as an escape from my ranting and whining, Sasuke willingly walked over to them, allowing himself to be engulfed by typical, freakishly annoying girls.

"See you in class, loser!" Sasuke called out as the group began moving as one.

Imagine that. A whole group surrounding just one dumb, bastard, idiot moving as one.

"Coward!" I yelled back, shaking my fist menacingly in the air.

"Hey, Naruto!" Kiba came into view on the opposite side from where I stood. Oh, Kiba!

"Hey, Naruto!" A harmonizing group of voices called out to me at once. Looking behind me, I realized my fan group was here. Aw, fuck!

"Hey sexy," the leader of the group greeted, "want to walk with us today?" Sai playfully threw his arm around my shoulder, leaving me no choice but to walk along with him as he moved along.

"Saiii." I groaned as he began pushing me into the building. Behind us, Kiba struggled to get past the largest group of boys ever to walk at the same time.

Poor kid.

And yes, my group was bigger than Sasuke's. Not that I was bragging but I did hate how Sasuke wasn't one of them; he'd be made captain in an instant. Such superior positions suited him, if you know what I mean.

"Come on, Naruto. You haven't talked to us in a long time!" He nagged, pouting as if that'd make me agree. Instead he looked like a fool.

"It's been two days!" I shrieked, looking back towards the group as to include them in my complaining. "Two days! And all of you are annoying!"

"Don't say that..." Sai pouted even more.

"Why do I get stuck with you guys, of all people?!" I cried, then laughed as Sai pretended to look hurt for the rest of the group.

"Because the rest of the school is too shy to talk to you and because you're on Sakura's death list." Kiba commented from within the crowd, reminding me of how popular I was to even have my own arch nemesis.

"Yeah, thanks for the life update, Kiba." I said over my shoulder, not really knowing where Kiba stood amongst tall giants. Poor kid, really. I wonder if that's all he'll grow.

"You're welcome." Came a faint voice from within the group.

Seriously, poor Kiba.

"You're popular." Sai added. "You're the star of the school. Not one of these idiots could take your place, foxy." Sai pointed towards the group and though all of them seemed to nod, a few protested as they realized they had been insulted.

I frowned. Indeed, I guess I was popular and maybe I was hated by Sakura— but I never thought I'd have my own group or fandom following me around everywhere I go!

"I hate this." I said, crossing my arms and slapping Sai's hands away from my shoulder.

"Just date one of us, already." Sai blurted out, walking behind me and distracted by his nails. "That's literally the only reason we exist." I could hear the guys agree.

"Sasuke's the only one for me." I reminded. "And are you guys stealing my stuff?! How come my gym clothes keep disappearing?!" I shouted, turning to face them.

The group suddenly looked away from my gaze, murmuring amongst themselves before each and everyone of those bastards pointed and blamed each other. Oh, so suddenly no one knew why my gym shorts were missing and for some reason ended up in someone else's hands.

I shook my head in disbelief.

"Well, well. If it isn't Naruto and his little fan group." Sakura appeared, Kiba finally making it through the crowd of testosterone and raging hormones.

"Oh! Sakura, thank god!" I walked over to her side, grabbing her arm. "Quick, use your macho strength to break my leg or something, anything! I need an excuse to go home!" I begged dramatically.

She rolled her eyes, frowning as she slapped my hands off her. "Get the hell off of me. Don't touch me, ever!" She shouted. "I better not see you anywhere near Sasuke today, got it?" She leaned forward, threatening me and I nodded before she marched off.

Ah, typical Sakura. I wonder if it's the small amount of food she eats or puberty being the reason she's always grumpy. Great girl, by the way. Just, so moody.

"Well, Naruto?" Kiba joined my side, watching how the group of boys followed after her for messing with me. "How's it feel getting Sakura mad this early in the morning?"

I watched how the boys continued following her, making her walk to class miserable. "I already told you, she doesn't seem that bad. Plus, I've known her for years. She doesn't intimidate me." I said, Sai standing on my other side.

"Yeah, and now that that's out of the way, I have to walk you to class." Sai smiled, grabbing my hand and pulling me away while Kiba stayed behind.

"Wait, what? No! There's a test today! Kiba!" I shouted, reaching out to the only person who could save me only to see said person scratch his head, pretending he heard nothing as he walked away to his locker. "You traitor!" I yelled as Sai escorted me to hell.
