Who Are You? Chapter 1
Naruto's POV
I hate high school. From the idiotic teenagers that think they're better than everyone else to the droning teachers that are oblivious to everything around them. But most importantly I hate Uchiha Sasuke. It almost seemed like the main purpose of his existence was making my lowly high school life a living hell, and today was no different…
It was finally Friday, my favorite day of the week. Not only was the school work lighter, but this was my last day before a nine day Uchiha free winter break. Too busy fantasizing about the break; I didn't notice the bell had rung signaling the end of fourth hour until almost everyone was out the door. My stomach rumbled on my way to the cafeteria and I groaned remembering my lack of breakfast that morning. Right before I reached the cafeteria I noticed that the seniors seemed to be joining us juniors for lunch. 'Maybe he won't see me today,' I thought as I looked into the overly crowded dining area. After getting my piece of semi-cold, stiff school pizza a hurriedly turned towards the door leading to the outside eating area. 'Just a little more and I'll be home free,' I cheered in my mind. Three more steps and the back of my shirt collar was harshly yanked backward. I mentally winced when my ass hit the solid floor of the cafeteria and my plate clattered to the ground, ruining my lunch. The students around that witnessed my fall chuckled and whispered to each other. Most of them knew me for the sole fact that the Uchiha's gang liked spreading rumors. With wobbly knees, I got to my feet and faced my dark haired antagonist. Uchiha stood emotionless as his gang laughed like they just witnessed the best prank ever. By now a ring of students had started to form around the Uchiha and me, excited to see the possible fight.
"Where do you think you're going loser?" Uchiha sneered causing his friends to start laughing again. I didn't answer. I wasn't going to give him pleasure of seeing me trying to defend myself.
"Answer me!" he snapped. Again I stayed silent, looking at him with as little emotion as I could. Finally, after realizing he wasn't going to get a rise out of me, he rushed forward and punched me in the jaw. I fell backwards, feeling the throbbing in my jaw, and once again landed hard on my ass. Cheers broke out amongst the other students while Uchiha's goons started yelling "fight!" repeatedly. I didn't move I let him have his way; I wasn't going to let him get a rise out of me.
"What's wrong dweeb? Finally giving up on life?" Uchiha questioned. Students in the background called names: freak, loser, fag and anything they could think of. Today was one of the worse days, normally I could get through the day with Uchiha just picking on me in class or tripping me in the hallways, but never anything this big. It stung both mentally and physically, my eyes stung trying to hold back the tears and my emotions were just a train wreck.
"Come on guys, let us leave the bastard to weep in solitude," I stood as Uchiha and his gang brushed past me, exiting the cafeteria. The crowd dispersed and I wiped my tears before heading back to class.
When the last bell of the day rang, I shrugged on my coat and headed out into the chilly winter weather to get to my old, beat up car. It was really by chance that I got this car in the first place. Iruka, my next door neighbor and the last person to ever care about me, had been shot when his convenient store was robbed last summer. Just like me, he had no close family so the police granted me Iruka's old Chevy pick-up since I was the only one at the hospital when the brunet took his final breaths. Shivering I unlocked the door to the pick-up and crawled into the frozen interior.
The drive home wasn't too long, but long enough to freeze my fingers since the heater didn't work in the car. This gave me a decent amount of time to think about the events that happened today. In conclusion I felt worthless. I had no family support, no friends to help, just me and my head to talk to.
I continued driving in silence until I noticed I was in the higher class part of town. I pulled to a red stop light and looked at my surroundings. On the side of the road, rooted in the snow was a giant, thick trunked tree and that's when I had an idea. The city of Konoha was famous for its nearly indestructible black wood trees. These trees lined the upcoming road for miles and would be perfect for my plan. The light turned green and I drove, but continued to plan. So what if I "accidentally" skidded off the ice slicked road and drove head first into one of the many black wood trees. I had nothing much to live for no family, no friends. I was never one for self-harm, but forcing myself to go to school every day knowing what would happen is almost self-harm. No one would miss me, and now that I think about it I'm not even looking forward to break anymore. Just more proof that I'm all alone. It was final, next stop light I'm going to do it. The next red light was on Uchiwa Street, I laughed at the irony. Uchiwa, Uchiha at least now he won't have to see my ugly face around campus anymore. Before the light turned green I unbuckled my seat belt and white-knuckled the steering wheel. Once the light changed I punch the gas, aimed for the closest tree and closed my eyes. I'm finally free.
Sasuke's POV
I was walking home from school like I normally do, but today was different. Today I tortured class runt Uzumaki Naruto. I didn't mean to be so mean; it just came out of me like some horrible black curse. I admit I am jealous of the blonde; he lives on without a care in the world even though his parents died in a fire back when we were in middle school. My parents had died in the fire too since it took place at the town council building, but at least I had my brother Itachi. He had no one and he took the death of his parents better than me. I lived like a ghost for months, just going through the motions. How could he just brush it off like nothing happened! Didn't he want revenge from whoever had started the fire? Rumors where pasted around school that a teacher at our middle school had seen a blond boy set the electrical box on fire right before the building burned down. Was that why he wasn't hurt by his parents' death? The rumors faded though and the killer was never caught. At the start of high school was when my curse started coming out. It started with questions, ones about his parents and what he was doing the night of the fire, but over time it turned into full out bullying. I sighed, look at the monster I've become. My father would be so proud.
As I neared my block I witnessed something horrific. Someone driving a pick-up just made a head on collision with the black wood tree at the end of my street. The tree its self was fine, but the front end of the car was totaled. Grey-Black smoke started billowing up from the severely damaged hood and the air was still. It seemed like minutes pasted before I realized no one was getting out of the car….. Someone had just died right in front of me.
