(A/N: Hello! This is my first fanfiction, so be kind! Please review! ~Gives virtual hugs~ Thankies! Oh, this story takes place at Konohakagure Vocational School. But I never mention that.)

Disclaimer: Do I really have to tell you I don't own Naruto? If I did, would I be sitting at home on my labtop, writing THIS??

Note: Just because it starts out...'ehhhnn', doesn't mean it doesn't get better!! Really. It gets better.

Chapter One

Together Again

Uchiha Sasuke rolled over in his sleep. He groaned slightly as consciousness took over his body. He shifted once more before opening one onyx eye. Then lazily he opened the other. He turned his head on one side to gaze at his alarm clock. His vision temporarily blurred from sleepiness, he blinked a few times before he could make out what the digital numbers read.

7:57

The Uchiha groaned once more before he threw the covers off of him. He froze for a moment, letting his bare, toned torso get used to the temperature drop before shuffling off to the bathroom to get ready for the first day of school.

Sasuke glared at the large stone building in front of him as he slowly strolled up the steps leading him there. He tugged at his high collar and shoved his hands in his pockets, avoiding the stares of passers by. He could hear wild giggling breaking out behind him as he walked into the school building.

Ah, so good to be back, he thought sarcastically, skimming the halls with his dark orbs. As he peered through his bangs, he spotted what he was looking for: the blonde haired boy came bounding up to him, practically bouncing on the balls of his feet. He was dressed in his usual orange outfit, customary collar and all.

"Hey Sasuke!" the voice of Uzumaki Naruto exclaimed, pounding him on the back of his Uchiha crested shirt, "Good to be back eh?"

"Hn."

"Aww, c'mon, it's not so bad! At least your fans haven't bombarded you yet!" Naruto pointed out reasonably.

"Yet," Sasuke grunted.

Then the two boys heard a familiar squeal. They both spun around in time just to see a blur of pink before they were both flown backwards by a hard glomp. Managing to work their way out of Sakura's grip, gasping, they both said, "Hey, Sakura-chan."

"Hey you guys! Ohhh, it's SO good to see you again! I missed you!" the pink haired, pink clad Haruno squealed. She stood there, hands clasped together at her chest, eyes searching them hungrily as though she would never see them again.

"You've grown!" She remarked to Naruto, who grinned.

"Yeah, a bit.." he started to say, before he was cut off by a seductive tone.

"And you've changed too, Sasuke-kun," she purred tracing a pattern on his chest with her finger. Naruto pouted and rolled his eyes. She always gave Sasuke more attention. Sasuke rolled his eyes and sighed. Yeah. Soooo good to be back...

"Hn," was all he said, grabbing Sakura's wrist and forcing it down. She pouted. The raven haired boy simply rolled his eyes again, and turned around. Without even looking back he said, "We're going be late for homeroom."

Sakura and Naruto looked at each other, shrugged, and ran off after the handsome Uchiha.

"Hey look it's Uchiha Sasuke!"

"Oh my God, it is! C'mere, lookie who it is!"

"Sasuke-kun? Oh wow, he's taller!"

"And sexier!"

"Waaaaaay sexier, for sure!"

Sasuke groaned and bent his head farther over his work, trying to block out the annoying whispers of his fan club behind him. Why did he have to be so damn good looking? Why? If only I'd been born ugly, or even average, then maybe I can concentrate on my work! The Uchiha thought miserably. Having every girl in the school hanging around you twenty-four seven was not as big of a catch as all the other guys thought. I'd kill to be one of those other guys. Sasuke mused as he heard a fresh out break of giggling from behind him. He sighed and pulled out his iPod from his pocket, in order to block out the sound. I'd really kill...

Suddenly the bell rang, indicating math was over. Sasuke jumped up immediately from his seat, quickly handed his paper over to Asuma-sensei, and speed-walked out of there. Naruto and Sakura caught up, clutching their sides, trying to catch their breath.

"Whoa, Sasuke," Naruto gasped as he leaned against the row of lockers, "You sure high-tailed it out of there. What's up?"

Sasuke merely grunted in response. His two friends couldn't even see him his head was so far in his locker.

"Trying to loose yourself in there?" Sakura suggested sarcastically, but chuckled. She shook her head at Naruto, but suddenly stood up straighter and blushed when Sasuke looked at her, wild eyed.

"I-can't-take-it-any-more!" he stage whispered. He looked slightly hysterical. Pulling his books for science out of his locker, he glanced at Naruto and Sakura and continued, "They're going to drive me nuts if I have to listen to their insane gabbing any longer. Years, I've put up with them. YEARS!" He put a lot of emphasis on the last word, banging his head on his now closed locker.

"I'm sure we can distract them for you," Sakura said gently putting a caring hand on Sasuke's shoulder. He rolled his head, keeping it on the locker, so that he could see her face. There was a strange knot in his stomach; it tensed for all of two seconds, then went away. Sakura looked relatively calm, however her face was a deep crimson from actually touching Sasuke. Quickly she let go, but earned a smirk from the Uchiha all the same.

"Yeah. Thanks... Let's go to science," he muttered, straightening up, shaking his ebony hair from out of his onyx eyes. Those eyes stared intensely at the floor for a moment, before looking up. The three friends headed off to the science hall, looking foreword to seeing Kakashi-sensei again, laughing and chatting absently about their summer.

Well, Sakura and Naruto were at least.

Naruto was blushing intensely at the sound of Sakura's laugh, but this went unnoticed by the others. Sakura gushed on and on about her family trip to the Dominican Republic, while Sasuke, hands balled up and deep in his pockets, was thinking. He wondered what that knot in his stomach had been a few moments earlier when he looked at Sakura. He supposed it had just been out of frustration from his fan girls, but something was bothering him. It had felt weird for sure, but... it had been a good weird. He shook himself mentally as they walked into the science room, Kakashi-sensei no where in sight. Sasuke brought himself back to the conversation Naruto and Sakura were now having about chlorine, (??? Sasuke thought), and frowned. Then he smirked to himself and chuckled inwardly at his friends. He sure hated school. He sure hated fan girls. But they were together again.

It's sure good to be back, Uchiha Sasuke thought to himself, settling in his seat between Naruto and Sakura, folding his arms against his chest, waiting for Kakashi to arrive.

(A/N: Whaddya think? Review and I will give you a cookie!... Well I technically can't... but it's the thought that counts!)
