Konoha Gakuen [Naruto]

Chapter One: Konoha Gakuen

Hearing the soft beeps of your alarm clock, you raised a lazy hand and pressed the button on top to snooze it. The temptation to continue sleeping fell to the back of your mind when you slowly sat up. You reminded yourself that today is a special day. The sunlight peeked through your curtains and you took that as a sign to get ready. You reached for your glasses and you walked towards the bathroom in a zombie-like pace. You turned on the shower to wait for the water to grow warm. You tied your hair up to prevent the water from soaking it as you have washed your hair last night and drying it would have taken a long time for you. Once the water was the right temperature for you, you stripped yourself of your pajamas and entered the shower. You made it a quick shower and stepped out after a few minutes, turning off the water behind you. You wrapped a towel around your body and left the bathroom and to your room.

You entered your room and went towards your closet. You slid the door open and took out the first outfit you prepared: The Konoha Gakuen uniform. It was a sailor uniform that was comparable to a normal Japanese uniform but to distinguish it from others, the left sleeve had a gold Konoha symbol sewed on. This small difference played a huge role when referring to the prestigious high school. It was the most elite in all of Konohagakure. You quickly dried yourself and left the towel on your bed to take to the bathroom later. You began to get dressed and finished off your outfit with long, thigh-high socks. You stared into your mirror and adjusted the skirt a little, finding discomfort at its length. You nonetheless accepted it and went to organize your bed.

After finishing everything upstairs, you were prepared to go down but stopped. You walked over to your curtains and pulled them apart. You saw the familiar blob of blond parallel to your window who forgot to close his curtains last night. You picked up your phone and pressed into one of your contacts, watching as the figure jolted and stumbled in his blankets. He fell to the floor before going to pick up his phone on the nightstand. "Good morning, [Nickname]-chan! Did you sleep well?"

"Good morning, Uzumaki-kun. I did sleep well, thank you for asking. I hope your rest was well because I need you to get ready now. I gave you an extra twenty minutes of sleep."

"That's so sweet of you!" The boy made eye contact with you and you sent him a small smile.

"Get ready soon. The bus comes in twenty minutes and I will leave without you."

"But [Nickname]-chan!" He pouted. "You'll never leave me!"

You remained quiet.

"...Right?"

You shook your head at the boy and sighed, "You're right. I'm responsible for you, after all. Please get ready and be out soon or I will have to barge into your house and make you get ready by force."

"I wouldn't mind that actually..." You saw Naruto put on a thinking face with his free hand rubbing his chin.

"Just get ready." You moved the phone away from you and hung up. You placed your phone in the pocket the skirt thankfully had and made your way to your bag. You took the bag and closed the door behind you, descending down the stairs and to your kitchen. You pulled out two slices of bread from your pantry and placed one of them inside the toaster. One for you now and one for Naruto later. You heard the toast finish and gently laid it onto a plate. You put [topping] on it and poured yourself some [drink] before setting yourself down at the dining table. You took a bite of your toast and scanned the empty floor. Your parents were always busy with their business so you couldn't blame them for buying you this house and letting you live on your own. You had a sense of independence and you thought of it as more of a strength than a weakness.
