First Day Of School

Time flew by so fast that Sasuke was almost scared when Itachi woke him up early. He realized that the fact he'd now have to go to Konoha High School hadn't quite sinked in yet

He didn't really care about it before but now he would have to try to find his way around the school without knowledge of where any classes were. Then, his feeling of not giving a fuck kicked in and he decided to just wait and see what happens.

He groaned before getting up and taking a shower. Then, he got dressed in a black sweater, black jeans, black shoes, and put his earrings in.

Because he wasn't sure what all he would need to bring, he just stuffed notebooks, pencils, and folders inside his black backpack.

It was 7:57 and school would start at 8:30 so he just sat down on his bed and listened to music. While listening to music, he started thinking about middle school.

When he was in middle school, he went to Green Leaf Middle School but Itachi wanted to move to a nicer neighborhood so he had to go to Forest High School for 9th and 10th grade until he was expelled the next year.

He went to Green Leaf Middle School with Naruto. They got into fights all the time and hated each other. At the same time, they understood each other so well.

Sasuke would often come home with bruises and Itachi would ask if he was getting bullied. Sasuke denied it. One day when Itachi had a day off, he saw Naruto and Sasuke fighting with each other.

The fight clearly wasn't one sided and a bunch of kids were rooting for Sasuke to win. That was when he understood that Sasuke had bruises because of his fights with Naruto. But then, Naruto had bruises as well.

Itachi figured Sasuke was getting his angst out by fighting with someone who was getting their angst out by fighting him. So, Itachi decided to let it be and to keep watch so it wouldn't get out of hand.

Sasuke wasn't sure how he should approach Naruto when he'd see him at the school. Would they fight some more or would they just be cool with each other? Sasuke decided he'd let Naruto decide whether they're going to fight or not.

He checked the time. It was 8:20. Sasuke was frustrated. Where the hell was Kakashi?! He was supposed to pick him up 10 minutes ago. Of all the times to be late...

Sasuke left his room, walked to the front door, and stepped outside. The chill of the morning hit his face. He checked the time again. 8:24. Just then, he spotted a silver car in the corner of his eye. He looked up to get a clear view.

It was Kakashi's car. When the car reached Sasuke's house, he fast walked towards it. When he got to the car, he threw the door open and demanded, "Why were you so late?!" Kakashi clearly didn't care which pissed him off more.

"Sorry, sorry. A herd of cows were crossing the road while I was driving to your house. I didn't want to kill-" "I don't care about your stupid excuse. Just drive," Sasuke interrupted, and rather rudely, if you were to ask Kakashi.

It took 12 minutes to get there. It was his first day and he was already late. At least, he could blame it on Kakashi. He honestly wasn't sure how Kakashi hadn't gotten fired for being late all the time.

When they stepped into the largest building, Sasuke felt relieved to know that there were many people in line getting their schedules. If everyone was late then being late would be on time.

New dread filled Sasuke as he saw many familiar faces. He scowled. He didn't want to have to deal with the same annoying people from middle school. Unfortunately, fate wasn't on his side.

"Sasuke! It's been a while since I've seen you!" He heard a loud female voice to the front of the line. The line of people turned to him and he ignored them. He looked for the owner of the voice. And found it. It was Sakura and she was smiling at him. She was very skinny and her smile looked forced against her sickly skin.

Ino was coming up next to hear with a frown on her face. Ino looked just as sick as Sakura. Sasuke decided not to make any assumptions about why they looked so sick. Besides, these people were all annoying and he didn't want anything to do with them.

"What the hell, Saskura," Ino demanded and whispered into Sakura's ear. "What do you mean? I never said that," Sakura replied angrily. They clearly didn't care that they lost their spot in line. "Whatever," Said Ino. "Let's just get back in line."

They went to the back of the line and as the line kept moving forward, it was almost Sasuke's turn to get his schedule. Shizune was the one giving everyone their schedules. The guy in front of him was wearing a strange grey trenchcoat-like coat with sunglasses. Either he was really drunk and put sunclasses on to hide it or his fashion was just.. interesting.

It was the sunglasses guy's turn. "Here's your schedule," Shizune said. "Your homeroom is with Kakashi Hatake. Go through the cafeteria this way. There will be a hall that leads out of the cafeteria. Kakashi's room is 1st to the left."

Sunglasses guy nodded and presumably followed the instructions she gave him. "Hi," Shizune said to Sasuke as he moved up. "Last name?" "Uchiha," Sasuke replied.

She rummaged through some papers, found his schedule, and handed it to him. "Here you go. Your homeroom is with Kakashi Hatake." She gave him the same instruction as sunglasses guy. While going through the cafeteria, Sasuke wondered how everyone could have lunch together; the cafeteria was very small, with only 9 long lunch tables.

There was only one door to the left in the hall. Considering how small the cafeteria was, he wondered how small the classroom would be. He opened the tan door only to find that the classroom really was pretty average by size. And that the classroom was pretty full.

Sasuke sighed, feeling stressed. He always hated school. Getting up early, being give homework he honestly didn't give a shit about, and wasting time listening to lessons he'll forget in a week. He always listened to music when in class. That was the best way to deal with the bullshittery that was school.

After finding a table furthest to the back, he got a closer look at the people he'd have to spend at least an hour with every school day for the rest of the year. He frowned when he saw many people he went to middle school with. They'd definitely grown as it was hard to recognize some. Kiba no longer had long hair and he had a dog with him.

Hinata's hair was longer. Sakura and Ino looked sickly and skinnier than before. Shikamaru honestly looked the same, other than being taller and having grown into his face more. Neji looked more mature and his hair was longer than before. Rock Lee looked even more energized than before, if that was possible.

He already felt tired, thinking about how people were probably going to bother him. It was common knowledge that his parents were killed and he hated how whenever a stranger asked about his parents, people would look at him like he would break. As if people talking to him was bad enough, they now wanted to feel bad for him.

He continued looking around the room to see who else he would have to be with. There was a girl he didn't recognize with brown hair. She was sitting with Naji and Rock Lee. Then, she felt slightly familiar. He just hadn't seen her around much in middle school. He didn't even know her name.

He got startled by the door opening loudly. He looked at the door's entrance to glare at the person who decided to be annoyingly loud, only to regret it when he saw who it was. "Sasuke! Who knew you'd be here, bastard. Actually, now that I think about it, I'm not surprised. With that attitude of yours -" Sasuke interrupted him. "Shut up, Naruto."

He wanted Naruto to just shut up so that attention wouldn't be drawn to him. But, it was too late. Now, everyone was looking at them. Naruto, surprisingly, smiled and laughed. Was he joking when he was yelling at him? "It's been a while, Sasuke."

Then, Kiba decided to walk over to them. "Heh. Remember when you guys used to fight all the time in middle school? That was hilarious."

Sasuke frowned in annoyance and just wanted everyone to leave him alone.

Sasuke blocked everyone out and stared off into space. He was starting to feel like shit and wanted the day to end already so he could just take some sleeping pills to sleep.

Naruto sat next to him and he didn't realize for 10 minutes because he was so spaced out. And, apparently, three people had entered the room during that time. They sat at a table together and looked like your signature delinquents.

There was girl with red hair glasses, and a belly shirt. To her right, there was a guy with white hair that had blue tips. The guy to her left had orange hair and had the bodily build of a football player; he was large.

Naruto looked to where Sasuke was looking and clearly found something funny. "Hey, Sasuke. I think I found your long lost emo siblings." Naruto laughed at his joke and Sasuke glared at him.

Sasuke heard Ino and Sakura talking about how it was stupid that they got up and came early, yet the teacher was "literally 20 minutes late." Kiba agreed. Sasuke was mostly used to Kakashi being late. He only ever got pissed when he was late for important events.

And, besides, if the teacher wasn't there, they could do literally whatever they wanted. They could pull out a gun and not get in trouble because the teacher is gone. Well, as long as there were no snitches.

A few minutes later, Kakashi entered the room. "Sorry I was late, everyone," he said while walking up to the board. "There was a litter of aggressive cats coming after me." Sasuke wanted to snicker at the people who took his excuse seriously. (Rock Lee)

"I want everyone to introduce themselves, starting him." He pointed at Shikamaru, who was sitting in the first seat of the first table at the front. Through the introductions, Sasuke learned that the girl with brown hair was Tenten and the sunglasses guy was Shino.

He didn't recognize Shino from his outfit covering his jacket and sunglasses covering his face. The three people sitting in the table to the left were Suigetsu, Karin, and Jugo. Suigetsu was the guy with white hair that had blue tips and he seemed to look down on everyone.

Karin, who had red hair and glasses had a strong personality and wasn't afraid to say her opinion on things. Jugo, who had orange hair and was a big guy seem chilled out.

Sasuke didn't know why Jugo hung out with Karin and Suigetsu at first. After a bit, he realized he didn't seem to have a particular liking for anyone else and seemed to genuinely like hanging out with Suigetsu and Karin.

They were in homeroom for 2 hours because it was the first day. Naruto tried talking to Sasuke but he had his earbuds in and so he stuck with just calling him a bastard.

Sasuke listened to what he needed to know and tuned everything else out. The year was going to be worse than he thought. Classes rotated meaning that rather than having different periods with different people and teachers, they'd have every period with the same people and different teachers.

So, while Kakashi's class went to math, Ms. Kurenai's class went to English. Then, Asuma's class would go to Science, and so forth. So, now Sasuke would have to be around these people all day every school day.

Not only that but they'd have to go to counseling as a class on Fridays. Sasuke grimaced at the fact that he wouldn't have a choice but to listen to other peoples' problems.

Sasuke was starting to feel like shit even worse than before and hoped he wouldn't have P.E. because he had no energy. He berated himself for not giving a shit enough to check the schedule before. At 10:30, homeroom finally ended.

Sasuke made sure to hurry out the door so no one would try talking to him. He walked out of the building and even though he could've just followed everyone else to the next class, he wanted to see if he had P.E. He pulled his schedule out of his backpack and skimmed over it.

He felt so disappointed when he saw that they had P.E. third period. If he was lucky, they'd just get an intro to the class and they wouldn't have to do anything. He had 2 minutes to get to the next class. The next class was English with Ms. Kurenai.

Sasuke got there a bit late but the teacher didn't seem to care much. It was the first day, after all. He took a seat next to Shikamaru. Shikamaru generally didn't talk a lot and knew when people didn't want to be talked to.

He figured he'd have a relatively peaceful year if he tried sitting by Shikamaru most of the time. The guy was smart, even though he never reall cared to show it. The only way you could tell how intelligent he was, was by his good test scores unaffected by his laziness.

The classes went by pretty fast and it was lunch before Sasuke knew it. Maybe time was passing by fast because it was the first. Maybe it was because he was spacing out and not paying attention most of the time. He didn't know which.

There was only one other class having lunch with them. It was Ms. Kurenai's class. They had A lunch. Sasuke stepped into line behind the guy named Suigetsu. Suigetsu smirked at Sasuke. Sasuke frowned. Suigetsu smiled mischievously.

"Dude. You look hella depressed. Need a pick-me-up?" Sasuke knew he was talking about drugs. He'd never done drugs before; they were expensive and he'd heard plenty stories of people getting tricked out of their money. "No," Sasuke said, frown deeper than before.

Suigetsu gave him a look that said he didn't believe him and chuckled. "You've never done drugs, have you? You'll never know if you never try. You can't classify all drugs in the same category because so many drugs that give so many different effects." Sasuke got what he was saying but didn't agree.

If nothing else, drugs were illegal. He could imagine the look of disappointment on Itachi's face. Not only that but if he did drugs at school, there was a fair enough chance Kakashi would find out. If Kakashi found out, he would very likely tell Itachi.

Suigetsu decided to let it go. "Wanna sit with us?" Suigetsu asked. When he saw that Sasuke was going to decline the offer, he said, "Promise we won't make you talk." Sasuke considered it. If he sat by Shikamaru, there was a large chance that Naruto or someone else would try talking to him.

Then, when he wouldn't answer, they would bother him even more by getting upset. If he sat with Suigetsu, Karin, and Jugo, no one would bother him because they'd be too scared to approach them. Not only that but Suigetsu said they wouldn't make him talk which either means they wouldn't get upset if they talked to him and he didn't reply, or it means they wouldn't talk at all.

Both of those possibilities were better than sitting with people who probably would talk with him and then get upset when he didn't reply. "Fine," Sasuke said. Suigetsu smiled. When they got their food, Suigetsu started walking out of the cafeteria.

Sasuke was confused but caught on quickly. They weren't even going to eat in the cafeteria. Suigetsu led him to the back of the building and started walking across the street. Sasuke stopped for a second, wondering if this was allowed.

He wasn't a goody-two-shoes but he couldn't get expelled, or else Itachi would be upset. But, then he decided that if they got in trouble, he'd say he wasn't sure what was allowed because it was the first day.

So, he let curiosity overcome him and crossed the street with Suigetsu. There were houses across from behind the school. Sasuke figured they were going to one of those. Probably, one of them lived right next to the school and went home because they were bored.

He was right and wrong. They went down the street to the left of the school and Sasuke wondered what time it was. But soon, Suigetsu stopped in front of this house with some broken windows and white paint. There were a few spots of blue paint but most of it was chipped.

Sasuke thought it was gonna take forever to get there and Suigetsu was going to get them in trouble but when he checked his phone, he saw it'd only been 5 minutes. "Well, this is the place. What d'you think?"

The house was surprisingly isolated and was really more like a rather large shack. Police wouldn't waste their time trying to catch kids and hobos in abandoned houses and most people wouldn't randomly go to an abandoned house. Especially not by themselves.

Ideally, it was the perfect place to be at. You could do whatever you want without being bothered by a teacher or someone else and you wouldn't have to be surrounded by a bunch of people. So, for the first time being openly nice to someone today, Sasuke replied with a "hn."

That was the closest Sasuke could get to complimenting the nice find. Suigetsu smiled and walked up to the door. The door flung open in his face, though, and the girl, Karin, laughed in success. "You bitch! And what's with that door? They're not supposed to open that way!"

Karin shrugged and said something about the screws being loose. Sasuke walked in after Suigetsu. The house was dark, which made Sasuke as content as he could be while feeling like shit. Suigetsu and Karin sat down on either side of Jugo, with Suigetsu ti the right.

Sasuke sat next to the door, making sure not to accidentally lean against the door so he wouldn't fall back. "Let's smoke," said Suigetsu. Sasuke wanted to sigh in annoyance but decided he'd sighed too much for the day. So, instead, he settled with frowning at Suigetsu again.

"What?" Suigetsu asked, almost defensively. "It's been a long day and I feel like shit. I need to smoke." Sasuke understood feeling like shit really bad and needing to turn to something to make it better so he didn't reply. Karin pulled a pulled a pipe out of her backpack and handed it to Suigetsu.

Suigetsu took out a black lighter and checked in the bowl to see if there was anything in it. Meanwhile, Karin was pulling out a bag of green stuff, which was presumably marijuana. She pulled apart some of the weed because the bowl was too small to fit all of it in and placed it in the bowl after taking the pipe back from Suigetsu.

After Karin took out her pink lighter and Jugo took out his camo lighter, they started passing the pipe around to each other and smoking. Sasuke watched as they got high and hoped they wouldn't get him expelled.

After 10 minutes, they were high but able to pretend they weren't. Sasuke was grateful for the fact that they weren't complete idiots. There was only 7 minutes until their next class started. Karin put the pipe and weed away, then sprayed air freshener on the three of them.

She asked if Sasuke wanted her to put air freshener on him too but he glared at the bottle so she took that as a no. Their next class was unfortunately P.E. When they got to the class, Sasuke thought about it and decided to sit next to them.

They left him alone for the most part when they hung out at the abandoned house so he decided he'd stick with them until they got annoying. Luckily, they didn't do anything physical in P.E. and they just got an intro to the class.The last few classes were pretty uneventful. Everyone was too busy trying to figure everything out to talk a lot.

Sasuke knew this would change quickly as they got bored in class and would get used to how everything goes. He felt relieved when there was only 10 minutes left of class. So, he picked two long songs to listen to and before he knew it, everyone was out the door.

Sasuke walked to Kakashi's classroom so he could get a ride home. Kakashi wasn't the type to stay after school. If he had homework to grade, he'd do it home. "Ah," Kakashi acknowledged Sasuke, "Ready to go home?" Sasuke wanted to reply sarcastically but had no energy so he said nothing.

Kakashi grabbed a small black back that he had and led Sasuke out the door. After going outside in getting in Kakashi's car, Kakashi asked Sasuke how the first day was. Once again, Sasuke wanted to reply sarcastically but had no energy. Again, silence.

"Well, you'll get used to the school eventually. And, you have me as your homeroom which means you're going to have fun." Sasuke didn't know if Kakashi himself was being sarcastic or if he was serious. Even though he'd known Kakashi for years, his humor often confused him.

When Kakashi stopped at Sasuke's house, he had the first huge surge of energy for the day. Swinging the car door open, he closed it quickly and fast walked to the front door. In a matter of seconds, he'd already taken a few sleeping pills and laid down in bed. Rather than thinking about how terrible he felt, he slept it all away.
