• A PEEK INTO PRINCE CHARMING'S THOUGHTS •

They ended up doing it in the library. Now I don't know what perverse thought your mind just conjured but by 'it' I meant Sasuke and Hinata's group assignment, you kinky urchin.

The library was quiet, peaceful and best of all, free from the two banshees disguised as humans, Sakura and Ino– Sasuke's words, not mine. Those girls couldn't take a hint!

Only God knows where the rumour started from but now everyone in the school thought he was into girls with long hair.

Uh?!

No wonder Sakura and Ino's efforts at getting into his pants were on the increase lately. Sasuke didn't even like girls! And for those hopeful fanboys he could definitely see among the crowd, he didn't like boys either! Girls, boys, they were all the same blood sucking, gold digging, fake, giggly, touchy feely, attention seeking, sanity draining vampires!

Sasuke was heaving heavily at the end of his mental rant.

So, if he wasn't into girls or boys for that matter, what then was he into? Simple. Sasuke liked people. Yes, people. Sane people that were true to themselves.

All his life he had been surrounded by fake friends and snitches so it was easy telling where his apprehension for most human beings came from. He pushed most of them away. There were just a few people who were close enough to Sasuke to know what his smiling face looked like, those being his parents, brother and his best friend.

Speaking of best friend, Sasuke's homie was transferring to his new school today. Sasuke wasn't pleased by this. Oh what happened to all the fluff in the previous paragraph? Well let me tell you something; everyone that had the unfortunate luck of having Naruto as a best friend never knew peace for the rest of their entire years to come.

Sasuke had a first hand experience of that.

Naruto was a good dude, he really was but Sasuke kinda hated him as much as he loved him. He always ate Sasuke's food and left the trash for him to pick up, wore his clothes, invited himself over for an unwanted slumber party, made new friends and dumped him for the entire week until he suddenly remembered that he had a homie, farted uselessly, laughed too loudly, gave him unwanted bro hugs, talked with his mouth full and spat in his face, picked fights with him, there were one thousand and one reasons Sasuke hated Naruto.

However there was just one reason he loved the dude. And no, not love as in the other side of the world kind of love you fangirls were hoping for, Sasuke's love for Naruto was like one had for a pet, or a brother.

That was just it, the reason Sasuke loved Naruto— he was his brother. Sasuke love-hated this fact in the way only those of us who has a sibling or two understand.

Anyway, Prince Charming's sidekick is entering the story soon and from there, chaos would ensue. Naruto would make school life hell on earth for Sasuke.

"SASUKE!"

What did I tell you?

The raven counted down mentally from three and then sidestepped the incoming blond barrage. Practiced accuracy enabled him to dodge the unwanted hug the blond idiot was about to give him.

Naruto stumbled but found his balance and was soon bouncing on his feet, the whisker like scars on his cheeks contorting with the smile on his face. "Teme! You transferred without me. Harsh."

"Hn." Sasuke grunted noncommittally. He moved to this part of Konoha because his father's business was expanding but Naruto? He wasn't sure why he moved. Sasuke had stopped trying to understand the guy ages ago.

"The chicks here are hot! Damn Kiba would love this school!" Naruto exclaimed after checking five or ten girls out and Sasuke paled in horror. Kiba was one of Naruto's intolerable friends, Sasuke hated him simply because he was a second Naruto and two Narutos were not something he could handle.

"He's transferring here?!" Sasuke prayed not. He had no energy!

"Nah."

Sasuke breathed in relief.

"But Sai's coming."

Sasuke choked on his breath of relief.

"W-what?!"

"Easy there buddy." Naruto pat his back to get the air out. Sasuke slapped his hand away. "Hey, the News's hard on me too!" And it really was. Sai made even Naruto's, the hell bringer's life hell on earth.

"What is Sai looking for here?!" Sasuke sputtered in disbelief and exasperation.

"Apparently, father dearest couldn't trust you to take good decisions on your own so he asked me to babysit you." A new vocal addition caused both boys to jump and face the intruder.

"Sai, teme, make some sort of noise next time you want to sneak on us!" Naruto yelled, pointing at the Sasuke lookalike who went by the name, Sai. He was Sasuke's older cousin and a pain in the derriere.

Actually, the scars on Naruto's face was as a result of the best friends getting into a stupid and life threatening game when they were younger. Sasuke got away with an eye injury that caused him to shed pinkish bloodstained tears till date.

Perplexed by the lack of constant invigilation on the boys, both Naruto's and Sasuke's parents agreed that Sai, Sasuke's oh so lovely cousin would be a great chaperone for the both of them. The older boy also needed to interact with people too rather than stay in all day, they said and boom! The thucker (because this book is pg and no swearing is allowed) became their shadow.

Sai was pale, mortifyingly pale, looked ridiculous in green, sharp tongued and foul mouthed. It wasn't his fault, really. He just had zero social interaction skills. Being locked in for about sixteen years of his life due to one illness he recently overcame, Sai was lonely. And pale. Did I mention he was pale?

His only guidance came from 'For Dummies' books and let me tell you something— those kind of books suck.

At least to Sasuke they do because Sai just learned how to be overbearing and wound rubbing rather than amicable and interactive. It took a lot of brain cells to understand that guy. Sasuke was trying, he really was, but he couldn't understand Sai at all.

"I didn't know you were such a wimp, dickless."

Let's not forget that he had an absurd fascination with Naruto's prick.

The blond turned red in embarrassment and started mouthing off about how mature he was down there but Sai had this weird, impossibly wide and very fake grin on his face that told everyone but Naruto that even if what the blond was saying was true, Sai would forever stick to calling him dickless.

Naruto and Sai had to sign in at the principal's office so Sasuke was left to go to class alone. Only then did he realise that the entire conversation with his cousin and friend was being eavesdropped on by his very unsubtle fans.

He groaned at the look of adoration and awe (probably because they saw more emotions on his face within that time span) on their faces and ran all the way to class. Yes he ran because walking meant that the fans would catch up to him. And catching up to him meant headaches and an entire half hour of suffering through high pitched giggles.

Sasuke couldn't and didn't blame his inherited handsome genes per say but at the moment he wished he was just any other random person, a town spokesman B, with average looks and an average background if it meant that he would be free from over enthusiastic fans.

Finally, right? Naruto is here! And Sai is inside this disaster of a story.
