Strawberries (A Naruto Fanfic)

Chapter 2: Meeting a 'Strawberry' Stranger

Author's Note

Hi, everyone! Just a reminder: Uploads will be at random intervals of time because I don't have a plot at this time yet, and even though I will be creating one in the future, It'd be better for me to just write down when an idea pops into my head. It helps me develop the plot more and map out how the story's future will go. Also, if you haven't seen Naruto Shippuden Movie 6: Road to Ninja, you may not know who Menma is so before you read this story. GO WATCH THAT MOVIE FIRST. Links and information on it is up on my you have watched it, I am going to inform you that the main characters of the Konoha 12 they are going to have their regular personalities in this fanfic NOT their alter personalities in the movie. (You will understand what I mean when you watch it or if you have.) Enjoy this chapter and leave a review or fav and follow whatever you can.

P.s. - Have any questions about it? PM me. It really doesn't matter the order you watch the Naruto or Naruto Shippuden Movies because they don't alter the story.

Take everything you know about, have seen on T.V., or have heard about high school, and put them together.

The inevitable answer: Konoha Academy.

Now I won't say that I don't like it here, but I won't say that I like it here, either. It's just high school, and I have no choice but to go through it. But I certainly will say that the amount of hormonal teenager behavior in this damned place is sickening. One can only take so much...

I'm a pretty good student, one of the top in my school. There are the regular classes and cliques at my school, you should know what I mean when I say this. And then there is my clique, which I suppose you could call the 'Couples Clique'. Haven't a clue why I am a part of it, but I'm not complaining. The people in this clique are some of my favorite people to be around, or I guess you could say, some of the only people I feel comfortable enough to hang out with.

My best friend, Sasuke Uchiha, goes to Konoha Academy as well. People say he's more on the 'angsty' side, kind of scene and a little dark. Girls say that he 'just needs the right woman to bring him out from his indifferent shell' (did I also mention that the amount of fan-girls this guy has will blow your head off?) and his cold demeanor does no help defying those judgments. But he's a good friend. I've known him for years now and he's never failed at being a loyal, trustworthy, friend to me since.

You could say that some of his uncaring personality rubbed off on me but, hey, who's complaining? And if someone is, then have some comfort knowing that I'm not all that dark and moody, like how people describe Sasuke.

Truth is, if I were to lose all my friends one day, Sasuke would be the one I would feel most hurt about losing.

I wonder if he'd do the same for me.

-SsssS-

Walking into school, I am immediately hit with sight of loud, obnoxious teens, some hanging out in the front and making fools of themselves, while others socialize, quietly scattered around the yard or walking into the building. The stenches of hormones and sweat and other things are in the air every time I step foot in this place. It absolutely kills me to know that I am one of them.

Knowing the place like the back of my hand, I immediately push through the students around the front doors and walk towards the huge, beige double-doors of the front of the school, intent on ignoring every person's existence.

Something that never fails to irritate me walking into my school?

The colors.

Seriously, forest green lockers and black floors? How ugly is that? I'm not one to always judge things that trivial, but every time I walk into the building, the intensity of the colors hits me with the ugliness and, ugh... it reminds me of bugs or some shit like that.
