Joke's on You- Chapter 1
“Come back here! I wasn’t finished writing that!” was screamed down the hall by a large blob of pink. Naruto dodged the history textbook that had been aimed at his head as he tried to read the words on the phone. The cell belonged to the pink blob, who, henceforth shall be known as Sakura Haruno. “Naruto, I swear if you want to live to see lunchtime, you’ll give that phone back now.” The tone with which it was said was enough to cause a falter in Naruto’s step, and send him crashing to the ground at someone’s feet. Naturally our young blond would have apologized profusely had not a deep baritone reached his ears first.
“Seriously Dobe, I know you adore me, but there’s no need to kiss my feet.” Naruto glared, knowing full well who that voice belonged to. And sure enough, as Naruto’s eyes moved upwards, they came to rest on raven hair, dark grey eyes, and a well known smirk. In a word; Sasuke.
“Bastard!”
“Oh, would you rather I called you that instead?”
“Teme!-“
“You know, for someone in an advanced language class, one would think that you’d be a bit more eloquent.” Naruto stood up in anger, grabbed Sasuke’s shirt collar and slammed him into a locker, much to Sakura’s dismay.
“Listen Uchiha, I don’t have time for you or your bitching, but I’ll cut you a deal. You leave me the hell alone and I’ll let you keep your pretty face, m’kay?” Sasuke glared and was about to reply when a tired looking guy strolled over to the pair.
“Locker. Move,” where the only words that came out of the lazy boy’s mouth.
“Whatever, Shika,” snapped Naruto as he released the brunette, and stormed off to his first class of the day; English. There was silence in the hall where Sasuke stood still, with an anxious Sakura beside him, and a pissed off Shikamaru still waiting for his locker to be visible. Though as soon as a look of indifference had graced Sasuke’s face, the rest of the world regained motion, and everyone headed of to class. Sakura scowled; Naruto still had her cell.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
By the time Naruto had settled down, Shikamaru had just entered the room, five minutes late. Not that it mattered anyway, since their teacher was none other than Dr. Kakashi Hatake. Now finally safe to read what Sakura had been so secretive about, Naruto whipped out the phone to read the text’s contents. He scowled. I was about 20 lines of rubbish about Sasuke. The blond felt like he could have thrown up. Unfortunately for him, in his moment of nausea, Dr. Hatake had managed to sneak up behind him, before grabbing the phone. Kakashi smiled, “Well now, what’s this? I never thought I'd see the day when little Naruto-chan would be sending texts in my lesson. My policy clearly states that no electronic devices are to be used once class has started. The bell has rung, Uzumaki.” Naruto rolled his eyes. It wasn’t his phone that was being confiscated. Kakashi frowned; his job wasn’t fun if he couldn’t transform his students into a quivering pile of shame. It was definitely time to up tactics.
“Well then Uzumaki, perhaps some sharing is in order.” Naruto froze in his seat.
“You wouldn’t”
Kakashi grinned, pleased with his students reaction. “Wanna bet?” he said, and proceeded to clear his throat, trying to imitate Naruto’s drawl. “Wow, can you believe how gorgeous Sasuke-kun looked at the bus stop yesterday. His hair was flowing in the wind and everything! It seriously took my breath away! I’ve loved him for such a long time, but he doesn’t seem to realize. Maybe I’ve been too subtle? I just want him to notice me. I’ve tried my hardest to get his attention, we’ve been somewhat friends for a long time, even though we don’t really talk. That’s why, starting tomorrow, I’m gonna stop playing hard to get. You’re the only one I can tell this to, so don’t spread this around, ‘kay?”
The class was so silent it was possible to hear the shrieks of pain coming from Orochimaru’s class, 4 rooms down the hall. Naruto had thought that they’d have been laughing at Sakura’s expense right now, until he realized what the silence meant; They all thought the text was his. They all thought he was in love with Sasuke! In LOVE! The blond paled, these where practically the most impressionable people in the year. And once they had grabbed on to an idea, it took all the powers that be to pry it from them. The gossipers had needed something new to spread around for ages, and Naruto had presented it on a silver platter. People would pass the rumor on and on, until they had even convinced themselves that it was true. ‘Highschool sucks. Wait, no! I’ll just do a bit of damage control,’ Uzumaki desperately thought.
“Listen guys, before you get any ideas, this isn’t my phone. It’s Sakura’s.” Naruto hated to rat Sakura out, but this was serious!
Kiba raised an eyebrow, “But why would Sakura be sending a text to herself?”
“Idiot, she was sending it to Ino!” Naruto growled in exasperation.
“So if it’s Sakura’s why do you have it? She’s pretty possessive over her stuff”
The blond looked over at Shikamaru with pleading eyes, which turned wide with horror as his lazy friend smirked teasingly. “I don’t know what to think Naruto, you were quite rough with Uchiha this morning. Although, that could’ve been sexual tension, or maybe frustration because he can’t tell that you like him.”
Never had one wished so dearly that the ground would swallow him whole as Naruto did then.
To Be Continued…
Author’s note: This looks like this will turn out to be my first multi-chap fic! Hopefully I can update quite quickly, but I guess that depends on whether people actually want to know what happens next. If anyone has any comments or suggestions, I’d love to hear them! Ja ne!
