Naruto strove to keep up with what the English teacher, Kurenai, had just said as she lectured the class. But gave up at last and looked onto what Sakura had written down.
He could feel a pair of eyes resting on him. He looked over his shoulder and straight into Sasuke Uchiha´s midnight eyes. Naruto tried to look away but Sasuke restrained his stare. Naruto became increasingly annoyed that Sasuke would not let go of his gaze.

"What are you looking at, Sasuke?!?" Naruto yelled so the whole class could hear it while he stood up in a hard jerk, and pointed accusingly at Sasuke.

"Not at you. Usuratonkachi!" Sasuke said and finally removed his eyes from Naruto.

A piece of chalk flew through the classroom and hit Naruto in the neck. Naruto scowled angrily over his shoulder, but quickly smiled while rubbing his neck when he saw Kurenai looking and tapping her foot at him. She did not look too happy.

"Naruto Uzumaki, sit down in your seat and see if you can shut your mouth for the rest of the lesson!" Kurenai said angrily.

"Yes, ma´am." Naruto mumbled and sat down at his seat.

"Naruto, why did you yell pointlessly at Sasuke you Idiot?" Sakura yelled as she shook Naruto.

The lesson had just finished and Sakura was flipping out at Naruto already, because he "insulted" Sasuke… Her stupid ´precious Sasuke.´

"Because he annoyed me, that´s why," Naruto said and had finally been wrung free of Sakura´s claws.

"How dare you insult my Sasuke! If you ever do it again - Hey Sasuke ~" She forgets all about Naruto when Sasuke walked past them.

Sasuke ignored Sakura totally, but he looked cautiously toward Naruto, who was about to be sick over the fact that Sakura was so in love with Sasuke.
When Naruto saw that Sasuke looked at him, he sent him an angry glance. Sasuke just looked away and rounded a corner, Sakura running after him to get a seat beside him in the cafeteria.
Naruto soon walked into the cafeteria when he discovered that all his friends had already arrived there. He bought some ramen, his usual lunch, and sat down with Kiba, Shino, Shikamaru and Chouji.

´Why is Sasuke so damn popular?´ Naruto thought ´Okay, okay, he looks good. So what? - I do too. And I know that he is an Uchiha and his father owns one of the largest companies in Japan - which makes him stinking rich. And ... Oh ... I just answers my own question ... god I feel silly now ... It still doesn´t change anything like the fact that I can´t stand him and his attitude. I hate him!´

Naruto was saying the last thing over to himself again and again. He was so busy with his thoughts that his friends thought he was getting sick. Naruto quickly pushed away his thoughts and began blabbing his friends´ ears off.

At the other end of the cafeteria sat Sasuke and Neji with Sakura, Ino, TenTen and Hinata around them (Okay, Hinata sat there only because the other girls sat there). Sakura sat on one side of Sasuke and Ino sat on the other side of him. And they were about to engage in their usual quarrel about which one of them Sasuke "belonged" to. Sasuke tried to ignore them. Neji and Tenten sat and kissed, so they did not realize the chaos Sakura and Ino caused. Hinata tried unnoticed to peeking at Naruto. Whenever she got eye contact with Naruto, she blushed and looked shyly away.

There sounded a knock at the door to the classroom. There were only five minutes left of the lesson, and that was the end of the school day. The door opened and Shizune walked into the classroom.

"Naruto Uzumaki, please report to the office," She said.

A mumble spread in the classroom. All looked with questioning eyes at Naruto. He just stood up and went with Shizune. Naruto felt unrest spread thick in his stomach. Not because it was the first time he was called into the office. No. He had been there so many times before, when he and Kiba had started a water balloon fight between the classes. Or, when he and Chouji had broken into the kitchen and stolen some food, then skipping class afterwards. Or when he slept in the lessons with Shikamaru.
But this time it felt different. He audibly gulped before he opened the door to the office. Tsunade stood with her back toward him and looked out the window.

"You wanted to talk with me?" Naruto asked.

Tsunade turned toward him, a stack of paper in her hand.

"We-´You´ have a big problem," Tsunade said. "Here are the results of any tests you have taken during this semester," She handed him the test results.

"How can my test scores be a-" he interrupted himself when he saw the results… He was FAILED in every simple test.

"You have failed in every test you have taken and-" Tsunade began, but was interrupted by Naruto.

"I know. Just get to the facts already," Naruto said impatiently and Tsunade sent him an annoyed look.

"As I was saying: If you fail the next test you will be kicked out of school," Tsunade continued from where Naruto interrupted her.

"WHAT?!? Tsunade, you can´t do that to me!" Naruto shouted, "Please say it was a joke." Naruto made the big puppy-dog eyes.

"I am afraid that it isn´t a joke." Tsunade said, "You can go now."

Naruto walked out of the office and along the hallways. He walked and wondered about what options he had to pass the test. He could always ask Shikamaru to help him, but on the other hand, he was probably too lazy to help him anyway.
The other students had finished their lessons and swarmed towards the exit. Naruto was busy in his thoughts and did not notice where he was going. He walked straight into someone and fell.

"Hey, watch where you are going," Naruto shouted and moaned slightly.

"Sorry," Muttered the person Naruto had walked straight into. "Are you okay?" The person holds a hand towards Naruto to help him up…
