Watch out world

Chapter 1

I punched Neji in the face, he fell and smacked against the cool concrete. He rose, his stance wobbly as he rubbed at the bloody nose I had delivered.

"It's none of your business Naruto, so just stay out of it." Neji growled, our eyes meeting in a mutual fiery rage. I didn't falter, I kept glaring at him.

"It became my business when she spent hours crying to me about it!" I yelled back at him as I ran forward, fist armed to deliver another blow. Before my fist could reach, it was stopped in Neji's palm. He leaned in towards my ear and whispered."As if I could lose to a spaz like you."

He pushed me back and I stumbled, my rear hit the ground hard. I'd had enough, I pulled out my spiked brass knuckles from my pocket and threaded them onto my right hand.

I looked at the ground as I stood, my hair covering my face. "You're going to regret saying that..." I whispered menacingly. I moved quickly, closing the gap between myself and Neji in a heartbeat.

Neji had little time to react as the spikes on my knuckles connected with his chin, they dug in and caused pinprick holes that welled with blood.

Neji jerked his head away and wiped the blood that streamed under his chin and dripped onto his white uniform shirt.

He looked around at the crowd of high schoolers surrounding us in a circle, he smirked. My eyes widened in realisation, I knew what he was doing but I figured it out too late.

The teachers were already here, they coddled Neji gently as if he were a delicate fawn. Before I could question anything I was pushed to the ground and my arms were pinned behind my back, they removed my knuckles and took them away.

I had been set up, Neji set me up, he made me look like the bad guy. He refused to hit me the entire fight, convincing my rage to consume and blind me. And now I was the villain who attacked the poor Hyuuga boy.

My head tilted back as I sat in the uncomfortable office chair. I was waiting for them to be done interviewing Neji and his mother. I don't have parents, but my legal guardian, Hiruzen Sarutobi, sat next to me. I didn't dare look at him, I was terrified of seeing that disappointed gaze.

I knew what was about to happen, I'd be sent in with Hiruzen, principal Iruka would glare at me before rattling off all the bullshit Neji had said about me. Every time I would defend myself it would get shut down halfway through. It wasn't fair, but then I guess life never is.

Hiruzen and I were called into the principal's office, we sat in the spare chairs next to Neji and his mother, she glared at me as I walked in and sat down. Iruka stared disappointedly down at me and made me feel uncomfortably small.

He sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose before looking up at me. "Naruto, this is the fourth time this week you've been caught fighting;" he began, "this time you had a weapon, what came over you to think you needed to use a weapon?" Iruka whined in a tired, exasperated voice. I shuffled my feet under the chair and twiddled my thumbs.

It felt like everyone was staring at me, waiting for an answer. I kept my head down as I replied in an almost whisper. "He called me a spaz..." I trailed off quietly.

Iruka rubbed his hands over his face and sighed again. "Jesus Christ, Naruto, you can't try and kill everyone who calls you names!" Iruka shouted exhaustedly.

I continued to twiddle my thumbs until Iruka continued. "We have no choice it seems, " he announced sadly "Naruto Uzumaki, you are hereby expelled from this establishment."

I was stunned at first, I never thought principal Iruka would actually expel me. Slowly but surely, I rose to leave my seat. I knew I couldn't cry, I made my own bed and now I had to lie in it. I knew I couldn't cry but that didn't mean I didn't want to.
