Tired of It All

Chapter 4: Time for School

The day he had been dreading all summer had arrived, all his freedom was gone, Naruto thought. He tried his best to get a transfer over the summer but they denied it, some bs about how he was restricted to only his district school because of his situation at home.

Naruto stared in the mirror, staring at his scarred cheeks, caressing his fingers gently over them. He looked back down, turning on the sink lever so he could splash cold water on his tired eyes.

He wasn't ready for another year of it, it was horrible.

Naruto checked his alarm clock; 5:58 A.M, he needed to start walking soon. The blonde went into the kitchen to pop a cup of Instant Ramen in the microwave.

BEEP! BEEP!

The sound of ready food caught the Blonde's attention, waves of a faint smell lingered through his kitchen now, his favorite smell, Of tasty Beef Ramen. He couldn't stop a small smile from appearing on his face, he loved ramen even if it was the cheap stuff.

He scooped the stuff out of the microwave, mixing it well, grabbed the plastic fork that was available near him and bolted out the door while chugging down the noodle soup. He wanted to try and be early, from his past experience normal time or any time later had always caused some trouble for him either from teachers or.. other kids.

Naruto got to the school entrance, holding his now empty cup of nonexisting noodles. He gulped down the remaining liquid savoring its warmth and stared at the school from a distance. His body didn't want to move knowing the dangers there, as much as Naruto tried to convince it, it barely budged.

Finally, he walked slowly to the front, that is, until a black car drove in front of him. Stopping the blonde dead in his tracks, of course, he didn't want to get hit but mainly because of what he saw inside of the car, two people who looked so very familiar, An Uchiha familiarity.

He walked back some, hoping neither spotted him. The blonde hid behind the bushes hoping no one had saw him do that because he didn't want to seem like a pervert. He stole a few glance to see if the car was gone, Naruto heard a few exchanged words between the two raven-haired boy that sat in the sleek black vehicle.

The first to get out, the one he feared, Sasuke insisting to the other older raven he didn't need a ride while the Older boy simply chuckled at his kins whiney attitude, stating clearly he was going to find a parking spot.Naruto quickly tucked down again, hoping Sasuke, or duck-butt haired raven, didn't see him.

Naruto timed how long he stayed there deciding to take precaution, in case the Young Uchiha waited for his raven kin. He looked down to his watch, 6:26 A.M., he thought maybe that was long enough noting he had been there for 10 minutes. Technically, a bit less, seeing as though he was being a tad dramatic about the time.

Naruto got out from the bushes, assuming it was safe and, once again, walked to the front. This time checking for cars. Softly a hand grasped onto the blonde boy, sending chills through his body at first assuming the worst then realizing, the worst probably wouldn't be so gentle. Naruto turned to met a taller boy and an onyx gaze into his own sapphires.

He recognized the boy from a few days ago, it was the older raven. Naruto was still unsure whether he should be cautious around this one

"Y-yes?" The blonde sputtered. The older looking Uchiha gave a modest smirk, "I saw you hide from our car, I don't know why but I can only assume it was to avoid one of us, I'm willing to overlook that. If you wouldn't mind showing me where a few of the classes are?"

The Uchiha pulled out a paper and handed the blonde it. A shade of pink boiled into his faces skin, Naruto looked down to the paper, staring at all his classes, many of his classes were nowhere near his own, they were all very high-ranked classes, the only one he actually been too was Art class. "I-I can show you your f-first classes but the rest aren't near mine, I-I can also show you where the art class is b-but you will need to wait for me to find you in the halls. I-if you see me in the h-halls then you can ask for directions.. I-im sorry if t-that was no help.." Naruto tried his best not to stutter and looked down, handing the raven his schedule back.

The raven ruffed the smaller boys blonde locks, "Alright lead on, please." The Uchiha was now at Naruto's side and they started to walk into the school. Anxiety's floodgates opened a little, he could feel so many watching him escort the raven, he knew this wouldn't end well. He knew no one could keep their mouth shut. Naruto sped up his pace hoping that if he did less people would realize it was him with the new Uchiha because they were so busy gawking at the man himself.

Naruto finally found the room, the raven was behind slowly catching up. Naruto flinched a little as the Raven grabbed his hand and pulled it up to his lips, giving it a small peck, Naruto felt blazes of pink burn through his cheeks. What's wrong with this guy? Isn't that only for girls?! Naruto eyes stared at his own hand until he felt his hair shifting around as the older Raven once again ruffled his hair," Thank you, Princess, for the wonderful tour. " the raven gave a small smile before walking into his class, not even bothered to look back at the boy he just called princess.

Naruto had yet to process what just happened, but he began to walk, forced to ignore the confusion because he needed to get to his own class. Before he showed the Uchiha a place to meet, near the drinking fountain he passed a little bit ago so he could show him where their shared Art class was, he wasn't too sure he wanted to, then again he wasn't even sure if he completely hated being called Princess by the raven-haired boy.
