Pay The Price - Sasuke Uchiha

[1]

ITACHI'S POINT OF VIEW

"I don't need a tutor, fuck you!" Sasuke shouted towards me, angered about the thought of having a new tutor. He stomped around furiously, packing his bag for school. "I don't need this bullshit before I go to school."

'He just never understands, does he?' I exhaled frustratingly slow. It's times like this when I start to wish mom and dad were still around to help raise Sasuke. Working a job, taking college classes, and juggling Sasuke is all too much for me.

"I'm too old to be babysat by some old, crinkly, witch!" the young boy said once more. He was only 16, but sure was he an idiot sometimes. Especially since he used to be so smart with the best grades and behavior.

I sweat dropped at his words, wondering if what Naruto was proposing was equivalent. "She's a good friend of mine, and she's really smart! She helps tutor me and she's two years ahead of me so it helps a lot."

Naruto's words echoed in my head. Is she really all that great? I wonder. Maybe hiring her for a tutor to help Sasuke's suddenly failing grades will be a good choice. Although there has to be some sort of catch. Would she end up like all of our other tutors? I hope this one is different and actually helps Sasuke so he doesn't suffer anymore.

"Her name is Manami Koizumi. She'll be arriving here after school and I'll be at work so please be nice to her." I pleaded, exhausted from not having a cup of coffee all morning. A nap sounded about good right now but I had to make sure Sasuke left before I fell sleep.

"Yeah, yeah. Whatever." Sasuke mumbled, growling at me before tying his shoes and closing the door, or should I say slamming the door. What a little active, rebellious kid. I hope this new tutor helps him with his anger issues too.

SASUKE'S POINT OF VIEW

"Man, I can't believe that asshole! After what he did, after everything he still thinks a tutor is going to help me? How more clueless can that idiot get?" I shivered at the cold, regretting not bringing a warm jacket with me before I heard one of the voices I didn't want to hear.

"Sasuke! Hey!" A hyperactive blonde with the dumbest smile on his face ran up to me, walking by my side as we entered Konoha High's door. Most girls fangirling at both of us but I paid them no attention. On the other hand Naruto smiled and just waved towards them. What an idiot, I swear. "Did you meet Koizumi, yet?"

I raised my eyebrow towards the tall blonde in question. "Who's that?"

"Manami Koizumi! She's supposed to be your tutor, stupid!" Naruto exclaimed, the look on his face made me want to laugh until my stomach couldn't handle.

"I'm too old to be watched over by some old bat." I retorted, wondering what all the fuss over this Koizumi girl was about. So much for wanting to have a nice day.

"She's only two years ahead of us, baka. Stop being so rude because she'll be with you all year long until your grades start raising." Naruto grinned in mischief as if he was up to something. He knew something I didn't, and that bothered me.

"All year long? So troublesome." I groaned. Why does it matter how well my grades are.

"She reminds me a lot of my mom, I can't help but feel like she is, honestly." The look on Naruto's face when he said that brought back so many unwanted memories for the both of us. Both of our parent's are deceased. And for the same reason.

"She can't be all that great. Watch her end up like everyone else and fall for Itachi and his good looks. What a waste." I spat, whenever I was brought up into a conversation it's always the same thing.

'Oh you should be more like Itachi! Itachi is so dreamy! Itachi this Itachi that!' All that bullshit makes me want to vomit. Girls only want one thing, just like Itachi. How stupid can they be. Does it really make them happy? Fucking idiots.

"Hey, but Nana really is cool if you get to know her." Naruto smiled widely and I couldn't help but smile slightly at the nickname that he had for this Manami Koizumi girl.

Was she really as cool as Naruto was making her out to be?
