1. The Class Project

Naruto Uzumaki sat in class, nibbling on the end of his pencil when he heard his sensei clear his throat. "Alright class, I should inform you all about an upcoming project that's worth 50 percent of your grade." Kakashi Sensei spoke out, a bit mopey but he was normally like that. 'Holy crap.. 50 percent?!' Naruto questioned in his head. "I have paired you up on how you're academically doing in this class." Kakashi said, looking down at a sheet of paper. Naruto cursed lowly under his breath. He was just merely passing this class with a 55. Kakashi began naming off two students at a time before reaching Naruto's. "Eh em, Uzumaki, Naruto and Uchiha, Sasuke." He read off loudly, placing the papers on the desk beside him. "Your project will be on the effect of sound to plants. The due date is in two weeks. You have the rest of the class to discuss any idea with your partner." Kakashi sat back down at his chair and kicked his feet on the desk.

Narutos POV :

So many thoughts rushed through my mind. 'Fuck fuck fuck..' 'S-Sasuke??' '.. 50 percent?!' My thoughts were interrupted by a couple footsteps towards me and a quiet 'hn.' "Uzumaki. That is you correct?" This male's voice was low, but I heard him clear as day. Sasuke. I turned my head to look at the where the voice was coming from. He was a bit taller than me. His hair was a deep black, matching his eyes. His hands were tucked into his pocket with his back ever so slightly slouching back. "Yeah.. Naruto." I corrected him. "You can call me Naruto. You must be Sasuke ?" I gulped, already knowing the answer. "Hn. Yes." Sasuke said as he pulled a chair to my desk and sat on it backwards. "We can walk to my house after school to do the project." He mumbled. I felt his dark, mysterious eyes burn into my skin. Damn. He made me so uneasy. "Alright.." I looked at him. He rested his elbows on my desk and locked his hands loosely in front of his mouth. He was honestly.. quite a sight. I smiled softly. His skin was pale. Much more pale than mine. It complimented his darker features nicely though. W-wait.. is Sasuke.. smirking?

(( end of the day ))

The day went by quickly. Sasuke told me to meet him at the front gate right after the last bell. I did as he told. "You ready?" Sasuke asked me, lifting an eyebrow. "Yeah!" I gripped onto the straps of my backpack and followed Sasuke to a house that was about 10 minutes away from the school. The house was a bit larger than my apartment, but obviously it wasn't huge. He told me he lived alone anyway. Sasuke led me inside and tossed his bag on the couch. I took off my shoes and followed him into the living room. It was actually pretty comfortable inside, a lot nicer than mine. I smiled as he grabbed a notebook and pencil.

"Have any ideas on what we can use for the project?" He asked, tilting his head at me. I shook my head a bit and looked down. "I have no idea.. I mean I'm barely even passing.. I'm sorry.." I let out a soft sigh and the words exited my mouth. Sasuke sharply exhaled and places the pencil down. "Go to my room. It's the last door down that hall. I'll do the project by myself. It'll take a week at the most." Sasuke told me quietly. "Do it yourself? I-I can't let you do that..!" I explained back. "It's fine. You'll probably just get in my way of the project anyway." He hned and jolted down a few words. ".. fine.. but I'll make this up to you I swear! Come up with an idea once you're done for today." I said, smiling warmly before getting up and walking to his bedroom.

I think my favorite room so far has to be his bedroom. A faint scent of cologne hit me as I breezed the door open. Everything was nicely organized and folded to perfection. "Woah.." I mumbled, examining everything. His king sized bed was the main attraction. The bed frame was a shade of navy blue and the bed sheets were that same shade of blue and some black. It was amazing. I sat up on his bed and smiled. It was so soft too.. the comforter felt smooth and pricey.

I only waited there for around 30 minutes before Sasuke walked in. He smirked a bit. "Do you like it?" He asked me. "Like it? I love it! Your room is so nice.. there's no dirty laundry left around, no crumbs or cups!" I replied in amazement. He chuckled softly and walked closer to me. I laughed a bit and ran my hand through my soft, blonde hair. "Naruto. I uh.. I thought of a way you could make the project up to me."
