The story will be in first person, but I will have different sections or chapters with other character views. It will mostly be in Naruto's point of view, but like I said before it will change.

Also this will be my first attempt on a romance story. The pairings that will most definitely be in the story will be Neji x Tenten, Ino x Sai, Asuma x Kurenai,

Kakashi x Shizune and others.

Because I am a Naruhina fan, this will be a Naruhina fic. Sorry I just have my reasons.

I will also add some stuff from my personal experience not that much though.

Just some stuff that made me relate to other stories I found on this website.

Quick author's note the chapters will be named after my favorite songs. So each chapter will be like the song, except I'm not writing out the song. I'm just lazy.

Disclaimer: I do NOT own Naruto and you all know the rest . . .

Chapter One

Naruto California

I laid on my bed, with my alarm clock ringing non-stop for 15 minutes now begging me to get up for school. Monday, the worst day of the week. I didn't like Mondays for a lot reasons mostly because the weekend was over, we had to go back to school, and my friends started their life wasting during the week.

I'm Naruto Uzumaki. I'm 17 years old. Some what muscular. My cop father, Chief Minato has been dead since I was a kid. My hippie mom, Kushina is trying to make a better life for us but cant. We live in a crappy run down house in South Central, Los Konoha. I'm part of a gang that robs, kill, and do drugs for fun. I'm also doing horribly in school, how I am still on the drum line is still a mystery to me.

Getting sick of the alarm clock, I took it and threw it at the closed door. Shutting the stupid thing up.

I went to my closet to dig some clothes out for school. It was October, so I decided on our gang color clothes which were the only clothes I had. A black long sleeve, with a green basketball jersey of the Los Konoha Leaves, and baggy blue jeans which hung and exposed my black boxers.

I was going to be late for school anyway so what was the rush. I jumped in the shower and rinsed the night smell off of me. While in there, I thought on my past weekend.

Flashback

"Hey Naruto, use should try some of this shit" my brown haired friend Kiba asked.

"No, I have drumming tomorrow" I shoved his hand back that contained the drug.

"Come on Naruto, you should try it" My other friend Shikamaru Nara pressured me.

"No" I said again.

"Come on, don't be such a puss" Kiba edged me.

"Fuck, I said no" I began to raise my tone.

I hated when they tried to pressure me into stuff like that, drugs, drive byes, and robbing stores.

"Naruto if you were our true friend, you'd smoke this joint." Kiba tried to play the guilt game.

"Fuck off Kiba" I told him.

"Knock it off" a voice behind us yelled.

We stopped dead in our tracks.

"If he doesn't want to do it, stop bothering him, assholes" he commanded with his voice.

"Sorry Sasuke" Shikamaru and Kiba said in unison.

End of flashback

Sasuke Uchiha, my best friend since the 2nd grade. When my dad died, my mom and I became really depressed. Though he was really strict and at times hollered at mother and me. We both still loved him and he loved us. But after his death I just lost myself, and Sasuke offered his friendship, telling me how it felt to lose someone close to you.

Since then we became best friends, when he formed a gang in the 7th grade. I became hesitant, because one thing was he didn't do drugs, he sold them. And he needed to surround himself with people who shared his beliefs. Though he kind of lost the end of that bargain, he got people to buy the shit off of him.

I felt lonely again, no friends, mother working all the time to put the food on the table, and no father around. I joined his group much to his pleasure, one of the worst mistakes in my life.

I stepped out of the shower and looked at myself in the mirror. My blonde hair grew long and into my eyes. Living with someone who did not believe in haircuts for years was the result why. If my dad was still alive he would have had me shaved bald before having it grow as it did now. My dead blue eyes also belonged to my father. He was the chief of police which meant he needed to be serious at all times to get the job done right.

I threw on my clothes and grabbed my black Fox Motocross hat. It's lucky so shut up. And grabbed the last pop tart, threw my backpack over my shoulder and was out the door.

Los Konoha High School

I arrived at school after homeroom. I checked into the office with a fake note addressing why I was late, apparently I was throwing up last night and felt better this morning.

I walked to my first period class, Physics. Reason why I always late.

This was the only class I had no friends in, which blows having no one to watch your back.

Again because of my slow walking, I was late to the class.

I entered to a filled room, everyone's heads snapped up when they heard the door open and close.

"Nice of you to join us Mr. Uzumaki" Mr. Asuma Sarutobi commented at me.

"Yeah what ever" I replied.

"We changed seats, so you are now located next too . . ." he scanned the sheet for a few seconds. "Miss Hyuga"

I turned my head to find an empty space next to the outcast of the class.

"Do I have to sit there?" I asked him.

"Maybe if you got here earlier you could have picked your seat, now sit down" he ordered.

"But she's weird" I whispered to myself, but of course everyone heard me and started laughing.

"NARUTO, watch your mouth" Asuma scolded.

I rolled my eyes and took my seat. I didn't look at the girl next to me, but I knew she wanted me dead at the moment.

Hinata Hyuga, 16 years, long black hair, lavender eyes, small for someone our age group, smart as hell, pretty much the loser of our grade, and played the guitar in the band.

I thought my comment would upset her, yet no tears came. She just kept writing notes down and never looked up from her paper.

When the bell rang, Hinata was the first one out the door. Before anyone else could put their things away.

So today started out great, I mocked a poor girl in public, and I failed another test in second period.

But it was going to pay off during lunch because we are having TACOS.

And I love tacos.

I ran to the cafeteria and got first in line getting 3 tacos. Don't judge me I have a huge appetite.

I paid for my lunch and walked to the gang's lunch table by the doors to the entrance.

After a few minutes everyone got to the table.

Sasuke, Kiba, Shikamaru, and Kankuro sat down with their lunch trays.

"You sure do love your tacos don't you, Naruto" Sasuke laughed a little when he sat down.

"Hey! Don't knock the tacos" I said shoving the food down my throat.

"So are you guys up for another snatch and run down at the gas station" Kankuro asked.

"Hell YEAH" Kiba yelled.

"I will only do it, if we get more people" Shikamaru yawned.

"I have a few customers lined up, so I'm out" Sasuke cooly told them.

"What about you, Naruto? Are you going to ditch drumming for a little fun?" Kiba pressured me.

I swallowed my food and reached for another taco. "No, drumming is something my mom wants me to do, ditching would get me into a lot of trouble" I told them and took a bite out of my last taco.

Kiba smashed his hands on the table. "Naruto, your such a wus, I could care less about my parents feelings"

"Kiba your dad left your mom, and your mom could care less what you do" Kankuro joked.

Kiba flipped him off and turned his attention back to me.

He started blabbing at me, but I wasn't paying attention. I turned my head and my eye caught Hinata sitting by herself in the corner of the room.

Reminded be a little of how I was when my dad died, except she didn't look like she was about to bawl her eyes out.

Hinata sat there nibbling on a sandwich and writing something down on paper that looked like it went through World War III. What ever she was writing must be something that's making her nervous because her foot keeps tapping.

Then something slapped my face. "Idiot pay attention when I'm talking to you" Kiba yelled at me.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

I was so glad that it was 10th period. Lunch pretty much sucked because Kiba wouldn't keep his mouth shut.

Gym class. My favorite class because it was easy, all you have to do is show up.

Also Sasuke was in my class so we both rocked at all the games or sports we played in class.

Today's game was dodge ball my personal favorite.

Another thing I loved was guys vs girls, which meant we always win.

The balls were lined up and Mr. Might Guy blew his whistle.

"SHOW YOUR YOUTHFUL SPIRITS" Guy yelled at the top of his lungs.

The guys and the some of the girls ran for the center.

Most of the preppy girls stood back screaming and giggling about not wanting to get hit.

I grabbed two balls and threw one to Sasuke. Loaded with ammo Sasuke and I started our assault on the girls.

We beamed anyone that got into our way even some of the people on our side.

In my vision, there were only two girls left. And me and Sasuke at least had one ball in our hands. So in one throw the balls connected with the girls stomachs and they were down.

We both hi-fived, but one thing was weird when Mr. Guy didn't blow the whistle.

Sasuke turned "Isn't the game over" and asked.

"No there is one girl who is full of youth still left" Guy proclaimed.

I didn't know who until someone yelled look out.

I turned and a ball hit my groin.

I immediately grabbed the spot and fell to the ground.

Then Sasuke got hit, but on the arm.

The whistle blew and the girls won.

I looked up to find the dick that broke my dick.

Only to find it was Hinata Hyuga that won it for her team.

Well I knew there was payback coming in my future; I didn't know it would be so soon.

Drum Practice

"UZUMAKI MOVE YOUR BUTT" The instructor yelled.

I quickly got in line, with my snare. We have been practicing since school started and she still thinks we suck.

We practiced for about 3 hours, and my shoulders were starting to kill from the harness of the snare.

"UZUMAKI GO GET THE EXTRA SNARES, LEE JUST BROKE HIS AGAIN" Anko yelled.

I tore the harness off of me and ran from the football field back into the building. I decided to take my time to get to the music room. I wanted to think about how I missed Hinata in that game. I didn't even know we were in the same class together!

Did she just show up to nail me in the crotch? I don't think that would be correct because she hit Sasuke too, and he didn't do anything to her.

I finally got to the music, but for some reason I heard music being played.

Band never practiced on Mondays, did they change their schedule or what.

I looked in the window and saw none other than Hinata Hyuga strumming to music on an acoustic guitar.

It sounded like rock and country but it probably sounded country because of the type of guitar she was using.

I opened the door a little to slide into the room. When I was in the room, the guitar sounded more beautiful then it did outside. I made my way to the back of the room, without Hinata noticing me. My eyes didn't leave her hands strumming until I ran into a bass drum and knocked it over.

She shot her head up and our eyes locked.

"Um sorry" I said quickly and grabbed the extra snare with a harness and took off running out of the room.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Parking Lot

"Hey butthead, what took you" Kiba called out.

"Anko was being bitchy as usual" I told them.

"Now that everyone is here, what do you guys want to do" Shikamaru called to us from the ground.

"I don't know I'm feeling kind of mellow tonight" I said stretching.

"I heard Hinata Hyuga busted your balls, how does that make you feel" Kiba mocked.

"I guess I deserved it, the way I treated her this morning." I confessed.

"Speak of the devil look who it is" Kankuro chuckled.

I turned and saw Hinata walk out of school with her backpack and headphones in her ears.

"Hey baby my moms not home tonight you want to hang" Kiba joked to her.

She didn't say anything but walk to a junkie old mustang. Though I saw her one eye look up at me real quick then look back down. Hinata got into the old car and drove away quickly.

"She is weird" Kiba said.

I wondered what that was all about, I wanted to say sorry for some reason but I didn't know why. Must have been guilt.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Home

I walked into my house at 10 at night. Finding my mom waiting for me in the kitchen.

"Naruto do you know what time it is" She asked me.

"Um around 10" I answered her.

"Yes, you had me very worried"

"Why your never home" I snorted.

"I wanted to talk to you about this" She held out the fake note I made this morning.

"Why were you late to school Naruto?" My mom questioned me.

"I don't know. I woke up late." I sort of lied to her.

"Your acting out Naruto, your Physics teacher called me saying you were picking on a girl" My mother showed her disappointment.

"I just said she was weird that was all" I acted like it was nothing.

"What have I taught you" She lectured me.

"Make love not war" we both said in unison.

"Right, now go to your room and do your homework then go to bed" she commanded me.

I rolled my eyes and walked to my room. Of course I didn't do my homework, but I thought how I was going to approach Hinata tomorrow. Maybe we could work things out . . . or not.

Well that was the first chapter of my first romance story. I thought it came out really good.

But anyway it's going to be long, and I hope I can continue with this story. I promise I will start on Living Together but just not this week because I have mid-term exams.

Peace out

Chapter Two

By the Way
