Notes;
I wrote this for some OCs of mine, but I figured no one would want to read it unless it had popular characters in it. :)
So… here goes nothing!!

I thought I had the perfect life. It was my senior year, I was student council VP, my girlfriend and I had just reached our 10 month anniversary… Everything was going just the way I wanted it to. Well, at least I thought it was…

It was a Monday and I sat in art class listening to my weird teacher tell a story about what happened to him over the weekend. Apparently, his younger cousin got in trouble with some drugs and stuff, so he was going to come and live with him. That way, he could go somewhere where he could get a fresh start and finish high school.

I guess his parents kicked him out… I felt bad for him, but honestly, what a dumbass. Some lady from child services came to look at my teacher's house and ask him some questions. I guess it was funny when he said they asked what he would do if he found his cousin having sex in his house and he responded 'ew barf.' :\ I mean, he was kind of funny, but he kept using the same jokes over and over…

Nothing much exciting happened for the rest of the day, except that bitch Ino got her lunch tray dumped over her head. Haha. At home, I fell asleep doing my homework and I had the strangest dream…

I was walking along a river, it was night and the moon cast a comforting glow on everything. Someone walked beside me, their hand in mine. As I turned to look at that person, the moon slipped behind a cloud and all I caught was a glimpse of soft green eyes.

"I'll never forget you." I said quietly. 'You' looked down at your feet. I really didn't know what was going on, but it felt overwhelmingly sad.

You stopped walking and looked me in the eyes. I was crying, and you wiped my tears away, smiling weakly. The moonlight reflected off of your pale skin; you looked so beautiful. And I was sure I knew you, but I just couldn't put my finger on it.

You let go of my hand gently and stepped back, away from me. I called out to you, "Wait…" it was barely a whisper. You were starting to disappear into the mist. I reached out and grabbed on to you, pulling you back to me. You smiled, cupping my face in your hands and kissing me.

It was a really powerful kiss. I felt like it was really happening, not just a dream. Subconsciously, I put my arms around you waist. It certainly was strange to be kissing a complete stranger. I didn't even know if you were a boy or a girl. You ran your fingers through my hair and I shivered. Judging by your figure, you were a guy, but that didn't seem to bother me.

You pulled away and leaned to whisper in my ear, "Naru, Hinata's on the phone."

I was jolted awake by Iruka holding a phone in my face. I was a little upset, being woken in the middle of a dream. As weird as it was, there was something nostalgic about it, and I was really curious as to how it ended. With a sigh, I took the phone from my 'guardian' and muttered a quick thanks.

Hinata, my girlfriend, called to ask a question about our math homework, but as usual, our conversation got way off topic. She was currently in the middle of detailing her latest dream, one involving flying fish and a large wheel of cheese. I thought about my dream. I decided it wouldn't be very smart to tell your girlfriend about a dream where you were kissing another guy. My mind wandered, and I became curious … Was that what real love? I loved Hinata, so why hadn't our kisses ever felt like that? And who was that boy? A boy that beautiful deserved to be remembered, but I drew only blanks.

I was probably giving it too much thought, but that dream almost felt … real, like a memory. Subconsciously, I ran my tongue along my teeth.

As it out of nowhere, I heard Hinata's voice over the phone. Realizing what I had been thinking of, I blushed and apologized for not paying attention. We talked for a while longer, but my mind kept going back to that dream.

As I walked into class that day, I had no idea what was ahead of me. Nothing could have prepared me for what was about to happen. It had been a few weeks since that dream, and I hadn't given it any more thought. I passed it off as a teenager with raging hormones kind of thing. And, well, Hinata made me watch a girly movie the night before. But, I really had no idea how this was all going to come together in the end.
