Chapter 3

The next day dawned bright and sunny. Naruto groaned as his alarm clock went off.

 

Naruto's POV

 

I hit the snooze button and rolled back over, intent on going back to sleep.

“Don't even think about it”

“AHHHHH!!!!” I scream, flying out of bed. I see Shika standing at the end of the bed. “What the hell, you scared the crap outta me. What are you doing here?” I managed to string together.

“I came to make sure you get to school on time, you have to meet Kakashi-sensei and that tutor of yours right?” came the reply.

“OH CRAP I'm late!!” I groaned running out of the room.

I could hear Shika laughing at me as I ran past.

----------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------

 

5 minutes later we were out the door and on our way to school.

“Hey Shika - can I ask you something?”

“Hn”

“My tutor…”

“What about them?”

“Well” I paused “It's just that it's someone that I…”

Shika stops and turns towards me “It's someone you have a crush on isn't it?”

“W-What” I stammer, blushing.

“Thought so” he smiled “Cheer up it can't be that bad…who is it anyway?”

“Itachi Uchiha” I mumbled.

“Oh,” he pauses

“I know, I don't stand a chance” I sigh “especially if he is anything like his brother”

As if summoned Sasuke Uchiha appeared in front of us.

“Oh no” I groaned “here we go again.”

“Hey, Uzamaki”

 

Sasuke Uchiha, one of the more popular boys of our grade. He makes it his life mission to make my life as miserable as possible.

 

“I heard you failed the half yearly's, what an idiot, those tests were easy” he taunts.

I ignore him and keep walking past him.

“Hey Uzamaki, I'm talking to you” he pushes me, making me stumble.

“That's enough” warns Shika “leave him alone.”

“Oh getting your boyfriend to stick up for you now are you” sneers Sasuke.

Shika has to be the one person that Sasuke is actually scared of…I'm not sure why, though Shika did say something about blackmail material.

 

“Go away Sasuke” sighed shikamaru “you've had your fun”

“He won't be around to protect you forever” sneered Sasuke, and with that final word he stalked off.

“Troublesome” muttered shikamaru. “You know you really should stand up to him, and then he will leave you alone”

“What's the point?” I murmur as I continue to walk to school.

----------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------

 

We arrive at school about 10 minutes later.

“Hey Naruto, Shika, over here” calls Haku. He is standing with Neji and the fifth and final member of our group Kiba.

“You guys took your time” the latter points out.

“Yeah well we had a little run in with his highness” I reply with a sigh.

“That's it” announces Kiba cracking his knuckles “that guy is dead”

“No Kiba” I protest “Just leave it please”

 

The bell goes and we all hurry to class.

The teacher hands me a note…it's from Kakashi. OH CRAP I FORGOT!!

 

Dear Naruto,

I figured you would forget so I gave this to your teacher.

Your first tutoring session will take place at recess today. Meet in the library.

Kakashi-sensei

 

“Thanks sensei” I say, putting the note in my bag.

It's funny how fast time goes when you are dreading something. First and second period passed in a blur and before I knew it I was pushing the doors open and walking into the library.

----------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------

 

“Naruto, over here”

I turn towards the voice and see Itachi sitting at a table towards the back.

“Hey…” I go over and sit down “so…”

“So I was thinking that right now we can just get to know each other a bit, you know the usual stuff, name, age, friends, likes, dislikes, strengths, weaknesses, the usual” rattled off Itachi.

“Umm sure” I reply.

Weird this guy is nothing like his brother. I like him more already.

 

As we began to get to know each other a bit better I start to like him more and more. I actually begin to enjoy myself.

“Ok well the bells about to go” Itachi's voice interrupted my thoughts “if you want you can come over to my house after school and we can get started on some actual maths work.”

“Sure, sounds great” I smile at him. He writes down his address and hands it to me “see you then.”

“Later” he waves as he walks out the door.

----------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------

 

The rest of the day passes smoothly and I actually find myself looking forward to the tutoring session.

At last the final bell goes and we pack up and get ready to leave.

“Hey Naruto” Kiba calls as I'm leaving the building “we're going to get food…you coming?”

“Can't” I reply “I've got a tutoring session with Itachi.”

OH CRAP my maths book

I run back to my locker and grab my maths book out.

As I am leaving the school yet again I run into the one person I had been hoping to avoid.

Sasuke…

 

“Hey Uzamaki”

I ignored him and kept walking.

“Hey don't ignore me”

He grabs me by the scruff of my neck and pins me against the wall.

What the hell, I haven't done anything to get him this angry…have I?

“My brother is tutoring you right?”

I nod my head.

“OK this is your first and last warning, Itachi is rather confused at the moment…he seems to think he is gay. You try anything funny and I will make sure it is the last thing you do got it?” he punches me in the stomach for emphasis.

I grunt in reply.

“You stay away from him and we wont have any problems got it, I don't need you dragging our family name through the mud.”

He punches me again and turns to leave.

“Wait” I manage to say. “It's up to Itachi who he chooses to be friends with…it has nothing to do with you.”

“It is when his choices disgrace the family, being seen with poor scum like you” he spits at me “and I'm not going to let that happen”

“You can't stop him” I pointed out.

At that point Sasuke really lost it. I hunched up anticipating the blows. He really laid into me, I felt a couple of ribs break as his foot connected with my side.

As suddenly as it had started it was over and he was gone.

 

I carefully picked myself up off the floor and start walking home. I'm not going to Itachi's; I can't let him see me like this.

I just make it inside my front door before I collapse.

Ok another chapter done, sorry about the cliffie but I needed a place to stop.

I'm soo sorry about taking so long to update but I had a major writers block and I couldn't think off what to write.

 

Next chappie will probably be in Itachi's POV…I haven't decided yet.

Anyway, read and review and ill update A.S.A.P

Bye for now ^_^
