“Sasuke! Sasuke, take a look at this!”
Just more than a little bit bored, Sasuke lift himself up of the chair and walked through the room. A small crowd of his classmates had collected theirself in front of the huge television screen. He joined them.
“So? What is it?”
A pink haired girl smiled at him, her eyes shining brightly. “Shika connected his computer and the screen, and showed us a video. You must have seen that!”
The raven boy rolled his eyes. “Sakura… You called me because of a video?” His glace flew over the screen. At the moment it was black.
“But it’s important! It really is amazing, you know? Come on, it only takes you two minutes.” Ino, the best friend of Sakura, appeared by her side. “Please!”
Girls are so annoying, Sasuke thought as he told Shikamaru, called Shika, to start the video. Kiba, one of the more slightly strange people in his class, stand beside Shikamaru and turned up the volume.
Everybody had his eyes on the screen, and watched as the video begun. First, it was evincing a long bridge; some papers flew in a heavy wind. The sky was grey, and from time to time, strokes of lightning flashed through the picture. Then, some almost orchestral voices filled the room. It was Latin, and Sasuke was sure, that he was one of the few who understand the words, although the others seemed so fascinated.
What is so amazing?, he asked himself and turned away. He wasn’t someone for this type of music.
“One, two, three, four!”
Sasuke twitched as suddenly strong drum and guitar vibes made the floor vibrate. He turned back again and the whole scenery had changed. On the screen was something like the stage, a few teens rocking the fans in front. It moved to the several actors. A black heard boy, wearing sunglasses, played the drums; a red haired but pale boy played a guitar; a girl with long black hair sat on a keyboard, and last they showed the singer, playing another guitar. He was blond, and had tanned skin. As he took the microphone and opened his eyes, Sakura and Ino screamed.
“Shhht!”, hissed Kiba and throw a sharp glare to the girls.
Sasuke, still wondering why the two had screamed, suddenly recognized a voice, singing in English this time. He concentrated on the screen again. The blue eyed blonde was singing.

Every time I hear your name
Every time it is the same
Fan girls screaming all around
Dunno how much I hate this sound

Hello boy I’m talking to you
Though I know I hate the truth
Hey you I want you to leave
Why don’t ya move? Hey are you deaf?

So I can’t say what I really feel
Sometimes I feel like the fifth wheel
But you ask how it could be real …
You are-

The screen went black again, and a well known voice shouted: “What are you doing here?! We didn’t go over here to watch some stupid videos! Go back to work, now!”
A serious, almost dangerous glaze hit the group and told them better to do, what their teacher wanted. Sasuke did as he said, and Shikamaru, Kiba, Sakura and Ino followed him. Together they sat down on their table again and tried to show Iruka, their teacher, that they were working. The tall man nodded, and turned to another group.
“Well, that wasn’t the whole video…”, said Sakura.
Ino looked a little bit angry. “But just why had Iruka to come now? And he could have us watch it to the end at least.”
“Yeah… but you know what?” Everybody glared at Kiba. “Why did we never see this video here? Of course, he’s from Britain, but actually the British vids are available here.”
When no one said something, Sasuke broke the silence. “What’s all this about the video? It’s only a music vid, and a really weird one, too.”
“But Sasuke! Haven’t you heard?”, Sakura asked.
They all looked at him. “What?”
“Next Monday we’ll get a new classmate. So Ino did research… and she found this.”
Confused, but not showing that, Sasuke fell silent.
“Don’t you get it?”, Kiba asked harshly. “Man, it’s him!”
“Who is him?”
Ino looked like she was suffering. “Sasuke, the singer is our new classmate.”
“One of those … freaks?”
“Freaks? You’ve got such a bad taste.”
He shrugged. “Even if. I don’t get it.”
“Can’t you imagine how amazing it could be to be his friend? Or girlfriend? You would be in every newspaper, every magazine, maybe in TV!”, Sakura said smiling.
“He’d be just like all the other students. I don’t think there’d be any trouble about his person here.” Anyway, what did this deal with him? He turned to the boys. “Are you so crazy about him, too?”
Kiba grinned. “Of course! He’s gonna be our classmate! How couldn’t we? Maybe he’ll sit with me, because Yuri left last year. I’ve got a free place beside!” He almost stood up and started dancing, that was how excited he was.
And Shikamaru agreed. No “too troublesome” left his lips, but instead he said: “It’s true. I’m curious, too. But I just hope he isn’t somebody who thinks he’s better only because he’s popular. That could become strange.”
“Rather annoying. But I don’t believe that he’s that way. I’ve ordered his current album. It totally rocks, but some songs are also sensitively!”, Ino added.
“How did you know about this so early?”, Sasuke asked. Ino already had an album? And they’re so amazed about him now? Did he miss something the last days?
“When I heard we gonna have a new mate, I did research, as said.”, she explained. “When I realized that it’ll be him, I ordered the CD immediately. I’ve received it yesterday and that’s why we were able to watch the video version of one of the songs today.”
I’d never think of doing research to find out more about a gonna-be-mate, the raven thought.
“So on Monday our star will arrive. I can’t wait to admire him! He’ll find me so cute so he’ll ask me to be his girlfriend!”, Sakura said delighted.
“Hold on a second! I’m going to be his girlfriend!”, the blond girl took a look at her friend.
“Oh, you’re sure? Don’t think so.”
“You better do! It’s for sure!”
“I’m much cuter than you’ve ever been, so calm down.”
“You and cuter than me? Don’t make me laugh!”
“Shut up, pig!”
“What did ya say, flatchest?!”
The two girls grew louder and louder, until Iruka appeared behind them suddenly. “Silence!”, he screamed and the girls went on only with bad glares to each other. Meanwhile the boys looked at their teacher, who went on: “Pack your things together, the hour’s over soon. No homework, next time I’ve got a big surprise for you. I see you Monday, have a nice weekend.” Iruka turned to a group of other students, and the five teens let their papers and pencils disappear and got ready to leave. As the school bell rang, they went out of the rooms and made their way to the exit.

Walking through the schoolyard, they hadn’t let the topic fall yet.
“There’re a few possibilities who he could sit with”, Kiba said. “Me, of course, Shiro, Serane and you, Sasuke.”
The raven didn’t seem to care.
“If he’s ‘better than all’, he’ll sit down with a girl to show everybody else, that he can do what he wants. And have what he wants. If he’s cool and amusing, he’ll sit down beside a boy, I’m sure.”
“But if he’s arrogant, he’ll want to sit alone after all”, Sasuke replied.
“Yeah, just like you”, Shikamaru said and the girls, already best friends again, giggled.
“I’m not arrogant.” He shot a glare to the brown haired boy.
“Oh, you are, you are, Sasuke.”
They all turned around to see the speaker.
“Oi, Yuri! You’re here?”, Kiba shouted. In front of them stood a lightly red haired boy. “How are ya?”
Ignoring Kiba’s questions, Sasuke glared at Yuri. He never liked that boy. “Who are you to say that?”, he said aggressively.
“Oh, I’m me, didn’t you know? And I can say what I want.” Yuri turned to the others. “Oh, I’m fine Kiba. We had fewer lessons than normal and I wanted to visit y’all.”
Mad, Sasuke started walking away. This boy could always make him invisible to others, and he hated it to be invisible. He wasn’t arrogant, no, but to be nobody to others wasn’t such a great feeling. It was enough to be alone, and going home, he knew he was going to be alone soon again.

Closing the door behind, Sasuke went through the hall. On the way he dropped his bag and jacket, and then he walked straight to his room and let himself fall into his bed. A deep sigh left his heavy feeling chest.
He had to admit, though he wouldn’t say it out loud – he was some kind of jealous. Since he went to his college and became classmate of Sakura and Ino, the two girls just had their eyes on him. No other boy could make them say and do such incredible crazy things, like sticking a really huge banner saying ‘We love Sasuke’ on the school’s façade, or dispersing papers to every other girl on school telling them to ‘keep far from him or die an unfaithful, horrible death’. Yesterday the girls, well, actually only Sakura, still wanted to carry his bag and books.
And now? Now the girls had another one to admire. And it wasn’t even Yuri making him insignificant, but a weird guy singing weird songs.
“I’m really curious about this guy”, he said to himself. The raven squeezed into his pillow and kept thinking. So Monday maybe the school house was going to rumble. A star as classmate, that already sounded too crazy to be true. Not that it’d bother him too much. He’d treat this boy like everybody else, for sure. Slowly an annoying headache was making its way into his head.
“I shouldn’t think so much”, he whispered. The day had been bad enough. On top of that, he had a waiting mountain of homework left from the week, and the last additional courses in evening didn’t let much time to sleep. Now wonder he felt ill.
Trying to stop thinking about the day and all its problems, he drifted away, although images of blond hair, tanned skin and blue eyes haunted him.

Finally Monday morning had arrived. Sasuke stood in front of his mirror, checking his look. Of course it was coincidence why he was wearing his best clothes. He wore his black short-sleeved shirt and tight dark blue jeans. He’d look incredible, if he hadn’t to wear the school uniform. It only was a sleeve-less pullover, but it was such a dirty red, it didn’t fit with any other clothes. Now I’ve only got my charm, he thought.
“Oh, hold on a second… did I just thought about how to use my charm to…?” Yeah, why use it? To impress the ‘star’? “Dear, how silly can I get?” He turned away fast and made his way outdoor.

“Sakura!!” A familiar voice called and the pink haired girl looked around to see who had called. Not that it had been necessary.
“Ino! Good morning!”
The blond girl stopped in front of here. “Morning! Did you see him yet? Did ya?”
Her friend shook the head. “Not yet. But I think he’s gonna appear late.”
“Although it’s his first day here?”
“Nothing’s impossible”, replied Sakura. “But let’s get going. I’m not sure whether anyone else knows he’s gonna come here, but he’ll surely step into our classroom, and that’s what matters.”
“Let’s be there on time.” So Ino and Sakura left the schoolyard making their way the mentioned room.
The same time Kiba, and Shikamaru, who joined Sasuke, appeared.
“Hm… Looks like always. No big crowds, no banners hanging around… does actually anyone else know he’s coming?”, Kiba asked starring around. “I thought Ino had told everybody…”
“I don’t think so. She and Sakura will want him for their selves.” Sasuke didn’t bother to look around and walked straight to the entrance.
“Looks like they’re not the only ones.”
The raven looked back and saw Shikamaru scanning his clothes. “What cha going on about?”
“Don’t tell me it’s coincidence you’re wearing your best clothes?”, the pony tailed boy replied.
“How will you know they’re my best clothes, hn? But by the way, you two rather look like overdressed for a certain person.” He let out a specious glare and turned away again. I really shouldn’t have taken this damn tight jeans… it must kinda look obvious, he thought.
If he’d look over his shoulder, he’d caught the embarrassed looks on the two boy’s faces.
Almost twenty minutes later, the bell had rang and the first hour begun. An excited atmosphere had built up in the big classroom filled with curious girls and boys. Except Sasuke, of course. Calm, he sat in the second row and watched the terrible behavior of his mates. Ino and Sakura had drag some girls away from their places to get a free one beside their selves, a crowd of loud talking boys including Kiba, Shikamaru and Neji, Tenten, Choji and Lee, parts of their so called clique, too. Hinata also was, an a little bit shy girl and on top of that Neji’s cousin. She sat on her place, two ones away from Sasuke.
Minute after minute ran away, and slowly everybody started asking, if something might have happen. The atmosphere grew almost as loud as possible to Sasukes ears, but suddenly the door pushed open. The teens hurried to their places and sat down, trying to hide their curiousness.
Iruka entered, followed by a tall man, their head teacher. Whispers went through the room. But all attention went back to Iruka, as the brown haired man cleared his throat.
“Morning students, listen carefully please. As announced, I’ve got a surprise for you. How you certainly remember, I’ve told you we’re having a new mate this fall. He’s from Britain, be nice. But before I’ll present him to you, our head teacher wants to tell you some important things.” He stood back, and the tall, grey haired man stepped forward.
“Good morning. You all know me and I don’t have to say very much about my person. But today we welcome another young man, and here you better know a few things. First a question: do you know the rock group ‘Azure’?” The moment he ended, the girls started screaming, headed by Sakura and Ino. Kakashi smiled. “I guess that’s a yes, isn’t it? So, then you may be happy with the following thing: Their lead singer is going to visit our school and you class from now on.”
“Yeah!”, Kiba said loud and grinned wide. The girls laughed and shone bright and delighted, singing something like “It’s true, it’s true!”.
Sasuke focused on the door. Ok, he really was curious, but who wouldn’t? He found, the teachers had talked enough now, but they didn’t seem to think so.
“Calm down please”, Iruka said, and slowly they all fell silent again.
“There are some important rules I have to explain. Every offend against them will be punished hard. I won’t be afraid of dispersing reprimands if necessary or excluding someone from class. So you better really listen carefully now, understood?” Kakashi looked serious.
As sign of understanding, everybody nodded and the last girls stopped whispering.
“Good, thank you. There are three easy rules. First one, don’t tell anyone who he really is. I admit, I’m positive surprised you didn’t scream it around yet. Go on this way. Second, never start stalking him. He needs some privacy and you shouldn’t pester or molest him by trying to find out something about his business or plans for future. Understood?”
“Oh no…”, Sakura whined. “That’s not fair…”
“No stalking?”, asked Ino full of disappointment.
Kakashi rolled his eyes and went on: “Last, but most important rule: Don’t do anything that hurts him, in the physical and psychical way. Is it clear to you?”
“It sounds like he’s a baby or some psycho”, Sasuke heard Neji saying to Tenten. She giggled but then fell silent again.
“I’ve got a question!”
Iruka took a look at Choji. “Tell us.”
“If we leave him alone, will we get some food as reward?”
Total silence.
“My god… as if it wasn’t embarrassing enough.”
A few teens laughed at that, but Sasuke wondered who had said that. But he wouldn’t have to any longer.
Iruka fought a cough. “So, if there’re no more unjustifiable questions, let’s welcome Azure alias....” The last few words went under in the girls’ screams, as the boy walked in. But as fast as appeared, the screams did fade away.
“Someone please pinch me… I can’t believe what I’m seeing…”, Sakura spoke low, eyes widen. Some teens went red, some started slavering, some were shocked like the pink haired girl, and one of all fell unconscious – Hinata felt off her chair.
More as good looking and worth of admiring the blond boy had been in the video, his much more intensely his brilliant blue eyes shone, making everyone’s heart melt away. He wore normal clothes, no dirty red pullover, but an extravagant shirt made of crimson colored silk. On top of that, his black trousers looked even tighter than Sasukes jeans itself. He carried a grey bag hanging over his shoulder, but it wasn’t his extremely hot look making the girls and a few of the boys react the way they did. It wasn’t his first-class looking figure, his golden shining hair, but this special something less than a hand full of people may have.
Meanwhile Iruka took a look over Hinata, Kakashi smiled at the star. “I don’t hope this will happen every morning. It could get expensive to pay the ambulance service.”
He just shrugged. Nobody seemed to care, but Sasuke, recovered from his breathless few seconds, discovered the annoying look in the blonde’s face. In fact he rather looked pissed. But the raven could understand the mood by having this trouble as welcome.
“Neji, over here. Help me taking your cousin to the infirmary”, Iruka said and as told the boy with the long dark hair carried his cousin out, followed by his teacher.
Kakashi rose to speak again. “So, where do you want to sit? There’re enough free places, just choose.”
“Here! Come here!”, Ino screamed grinning.
“No, don’t choose her, take me!”, Sakura tried to be louder and to look cuter meanwhile.
But rolling his eyes because of the ambiguously offer, he made his way to the nearest place and sat down – beside Sasuke. The raven suddenly became very, very silent, because he had his few breathless seconds again.
Ok, ok, I agree now, he really has a damn strong aura, he thought. He looks so remote, but although just hot…
“Argh!” He slapped his hand in his face. Did he think ‘hot’? He really must have gone ill over the weekend.
“Something’s wrong?”, he heard a voice as low as a whisper. But it didn’t sound worried, rather accusing.
“It’s… nothing.”, he coldly answered. A superstar? He looked much more like a bored baby who someone had taken away his toy. And because of this so called superstar were stupid rules settled, he could hardly not break by having the boy sitting beside him. No hurting? Already his first question sounded too annoying to not to break him something. This couldn’t get any worse, could it?
