What were they thinking?
This was the at least the millionth tutor, or so he thought, the blonde had recived throughout the whole summer vacation. He had done almost nothing but study and do work all summer. That was boring! Naruto knew that he had to pass high school, or else where would he be doing later in life? Sighing deeply he sat there in one of the back seats of the large Auditorium. Arms had been folded across his chest, as his bangs hanged over his azure eyes.
Narrowing them to a small degree, he stared at the empty black backdrop of the stage. Nothing was on it since the last day of school of the past year, which he wasn't here for. He was back in the last grade of middle school, but oh well. Pouting only the slightly, Naruto gave a small grunt before scratching the back of his neck. He was told by his last awful tutor to be at the auditorium at noon on a Friday. A Friday! He couldn't believe, on such a day like a Friday. It was part of the weekend, as he " logically " explained to the principal Tsunade. He had loudly stated that school should end on Thursday, but no. She didn't listen. Old hag.
Inhaling and exhaling deeply, azure eyes traveled to the long drifting curtains. They were only swaying due to the air conditioner in the large stage like area. The auditorium, the cafeteria, and the boys locker rooms were the only places he knew that were air conditioned. That was good, he didn't like the hot so much. He grimaced, the black over coat had been set aside to another seat next to him for later purposes...Whatever those were.
Aaaah. Hurry up, 'tebayo. I might as well go if this tutor isn't going to come... he snarled out, standing up and picking up the light black coat in his hands. Turning around with a small step he stepped out of the row of seats. He was the only one there...Not even the damn teachers were at the school. Just great. He cursed under his breath as he took several steps to exit the doors. They were closed, and he didn't have to take a long walk up. Just about 5-9 steps and there. Damn tut- Naruto had stopped his sentence, he had begun to open the door and he thought he could've saw pink hair. Stepping back for a minute, he rubbed his eye as he opened the door again.
ooc.// Ignore the picture. I was experienting something. x3

They told her that this tutee was a rather difficult case, and that there were already many before her who had tried to deal with this troubled student. They didn't even give her a name, or a visual description to go by, simply referring to him as 'the student'. Was it even a he? She didn't get a chance to ask Tsunade-shishou about it either, as it was decided by other teachers who had previously taught him/her/it (or in their words 'put up with the student').
She wouldn't lie, she wasn't one hundred percent confident she'd be able to tutor this kind of person, as she had a temper unmatched and could lose patience quick... Though she was proud to say that no one could quite deal with disagreeable people like she could. This teen was the kind of girl who faced a challenge with all enthusiasm, and it was either her way or off with your head. So, did she take the job? Oh yes.
It was her first real look into the school and she felt like an idiot. The map was all fine and clear, but when it came to her actually following it the entire thing became a blur. How hard was it to find an auditorium anyways?! They were big, with big doors, and big people---
Big people?! Just as she was turning in, this tall boy opened the door for her, and she nearly collided into him. Stopping herself on one foot, she jerkidly gained her composure and darted her eyes to look up at her supposedly impossible tutee--who she was now definitely sure was male.
"Ah--Sorry."
Slowly, her sight went from his feet upward, taking in the black longcoat (was this a bad boy or what?) and a vividly orange shirt. When she reached eye-level was when she could truely see the ruggish, boy-like face of a person she hadn't seen in a long while--trademark whiskers and all.
What was it about her and meeting people in such surprising ways? The pinkhaired, green eyed girl looked up at him with incredulity marring her pretty face.
"Naruto? Is that you?" Her eyes swept him up and down, and she was uncertain how to handle the sudden meeting. Just like with Sasuke, she wasn't dressed in anything nice. It was the student uniform, and her hair was quickly accessorized with a lilac headband. Naruto though! He looked... He looked...
"You've gotten taller." Was all Sakura's baffled mind could come up with, after three years of seperation and a close brush in with death. And they said she was intellegent.

This was rather something unexpected.
Naruto blinked for a second, biting at his lower lip and azure eyes stared down at the girl. It was her! He could've just...Lost control and spazzed there, but he couldn't. Naruto thought to himself, it had been three years since he last seen the girl. Three years is alot, 1095 days right? he shook his head mentally before calming himself to say something.
S-Sakura-chan....That really you?
What? Was that all he could say? Naruto gave a soft sigh, looking over the girl in front. She had commented on his height, was he really that taller now?He had occassionally check his height, but he didn't think he had grown taller. Perhaps he should check when getting home later. Whatever, Naruto was more concern about his time at the school. Aaah. Sakura-chan, when'd you get back? Why are you at school? Did you get lost? How're you anyway? his mouth had rambled simple yet random questions all at one time.
Once again, he had taken a deep breath and started over with the simplest question. Well, simple to her; complex to him. Sakura-chan, when'd you get back, 'tebayo? it might've made him a tad more immature saying his favorite word, dattebayo but he was Naruto he couldn't help. Stepping aside so they didn't have to talk at the doors. Holding the doors opened, he gave a smal smile.

Not one to waste time, Sakura quickly stepped in and allowed Naruto to close the auditorium doors behind them, then turned to him and continued their happy conversation. It took time getting used to looking up at him, as he was always the shorter of the three of them, and he was often the butt of the joke with the height refferences. Jeez, puberty had really made giants of the boys didn't it? "I just got back a few days ago..." She started out on answering the questions, doing her best to remember each one.
"I'm at school because I was asked to be--This is the auditorium right?" To confirm her own answer she looked around the big room, seeing the chairs raised by the row and the large stage parallel to them, draped in the big curtains. If it wasn't the auditorium she didn't know what it was. "And--I'm good, thanks. How are you? Do you happen to know if there's a person here who needs tutoring? I have to find the person and I'm already running late by..."
She looked around for a clock, seeing one at the back of the large room and squinting to make out the hands. "About ten minutes already." She could only shrug and form a slightly guilty expression. "To tell you the truth--I'm not that enthusiastic about meeting the student, he or she sounds like a real jerk."
She squinted her nose for a moment then relaxed her features and sighed, looking up at Naruto and blushing just slightly. "Though--I'm glad I met you first... It's... Been awhile since I've seen you after all." Ugh, she wasn't good at talking like this. Hence the blush staining her cheeks.

Eh?
Naruto gave a quizical look to her, the carnation colored hair so familar and so were her emerald eyes. It had been three years, he had growned plenty within that large time span. Staring at the Haruno girl for a moment, as she looked around the large auditorium, he gave a soft smile before coming back from his "trance ". She had at first ask if this was the auditorium. That was correct, it looked like she figured that on her own. I'm fine, Sakura-chan. I've been stuck at school all summer. The teachers hate me, 'tebayo....Tutor? he paused for a moment.
He was the only one there before Sakura came.
He had numerous tutors over the course of the summer.
He had numerous tutors quit and find another one that summer.
And she was looking for a tutee?
Oh boy.
Looking wide eyed at Sakura for a moment, he spoke with uneasiness. Are you sure you aren't just here for a tour of the school or something, Sakura-chan? Because I'm here to meet my new tutor. The last one dumped me and totally told me to go get a new one... he uttered, azure eyes raised in question.

There was a silence as he explained, and she could tell he felt uncomfortable with reveiling the fact that HE was her tutee, Was there some mistake? Could it be Naruto was the one driving away all these people, and being referred to as a lost cause? Yeah, we was always a troublemaker but...
"..." She nursed her bottom lip between her teeth, and slowly the gears in her brain worked on a decent response. "You?" It came out flat, as if she was expecting him to laugh and say no, of course not, that he wasn't that much of a problem.
A moment and a sigh and then, without warning, she grabbed the collar of his shirt and pulled him down to eyelevel. "Is that what you tell me?! I just got back and I was so impressed with you, and now I hear you've been slacking off?!" Sakura shook the blonde a little, not unlike she used to when they were younger.
She let go off him, but that same attitude still rung clear. "Well, you may have driven away all of your other tutors, but you can bet you won't be able to shake me off so easily."

Azure eyes came back down to Sakura, as he took a glance at her. It looked like she was in thought before grabbing him by hi shirt collar and pulling him down to a height were she could intimidate him. He went wide eyed, well this was a great way to meet up with a friend that you haven't seen for three years.
He was almost in panic, was he about to be hit or punched or something like that again? He remembered the times where she did so, and it wasn't pretty; well for his end of the reciever it wasn't. Quickly trying to think up something to say, Naruto gulped.
B-But Sakura-chan! I wasn't slacking off! I'm just..Really bad at school and and... he ended it off there, nothing else had came into his mind. He was not bad at school, but Naruto couldn't just...Understand the concept of what they taught him and it was always in one ear out the other. His shirt collar was let go, and he stood straightm fixing up his shirt before muttering, ...Ne Sakura-chan, were you offered the job or did they force you or something? he asked quietly, unsure if she did it cause she wanted to or if she had no choice to do it.
....Nevermind, he spoke up, ignoring his previous question and shook his head. His hair had only slightly been messed up and he put it back in place. The blonde bangs covering his eyes closed and he pointed to the clock towards the back of the room. Let's just get started. I don't want to flunk my first year of high school. It'd be embarassing, 'tebayo. So please teach me alot more, Sakura-chan! I know you can! he gave a grin, unsure of why he had said all of that. Offering her to take a seat first, he stepped off towards the side once more.
