Hello, hello, hello! To those who have read "What We've Always Dream Of" by CrystalheartLover: I'm using my other account in fanfiction to write this story as I don't want certain people to read this ficcie...heehee. Hmm...you can say this story has a kind of AU setting to it so it isn't like WWADO, for one thing the main character in this fanfic is more angst-y...0_0

Warnings:

Hints of self-injury, anorexia, and minor angst.

Do not flame in reviews.

Don't read if you don't like it.

Constructive critism is welcomed.

Unbeta-ed.

Irregular updates (If there are any) in the future. I do not own Naruto, but I own Elaine, Nick, and the plot of course. Lol.


Info on the main character...

Name: Elaine Suoh

Age: 14

Personality: She grew up as a child who never shares anything with anyone so she keeps all her troubles to herself instead. She has a tendency of putting everyone's needs before her own to prevent herself from troubling anyone. Thus, she is known as a socially-isolated person due to her habit of keeping to herself and only speaks when spoken to.

Physical description: Tall for her age, has dark skin and dark brown eyes. Skinny, too skinny. But no one notices as she wears baggy clothes all the time. Has short, naturally wavy black hair.

Clothing preference: Hates skirts with a passion, especially those short, micro-mini ones that her 'classmates' coughslutscough wear. Usually seen with khaki shorts or jeans and a long-sleeved shirt.


"God-damnit all...! Why the hell won't they stop pretending! Tch...I hate them, all of them...especially that traitor."

I was crouched in a corner of my school aka hell-on-earth. You're probably wondering why in the world would I be here when I should be in class, right? The truth is, it's already after-school hours and everyone's gone home...except me. My parents forgot to pick me up again. Wonderful, isn't it?

Sighing, I wrapped my arms around my knees tightly and stared at my long-sleeve covered arms. I knew what was underneath, I just didn't want to deal with it right now...

"Elaine? Is that you? I've been looking all over for you!"

Nick, my best guy friend walks up to me before sitting down beside me. He has dark chocolate-brown eyes with a dark complexion to match. He's skinny too, but in a tall and lanky kind of way. Nick set down his tennis racket beside him...he'd probably finished his training an hour ago. I'm surprised he stayed behind to look for me though, normally he wouldn't do that...

I barely looked at him before mumbling a, "I'm sorry for bothering you...again."

"I told you already, you're not bothering me in the least, ok? So shut up before I force you to eat lunch with me. By the way you haven't eaten yet, right?"

I gave a grunt and Nick sighed, "I'll take that as a no...Alright, let's go then!" Saying that, Nick stood up and brushed himself off before he suddenly pulled me up to my feet without warning.

"Hey! That hurt, damn you!"

The words were out before I knew it but I was starting to feel a tug on the corner of my lips, I tried to glare unsuccessfully at Nick and the ear-splitting grin he had on.

"Haha...I got you to talk. That'll be five bucks please."

A vein-popped on my forehead.

"Shut up! I'm older than you anyways! You should be the one giving me five bucks!"

"Haha...only by a few months though! So...why don't you pay for our lunch afterwards?"

"What?! No way in hell! I didn't want to go anyways, you pay!"

"That's what you think." Said Nick as he pointed an accusing finger at me.

"Stop pointing at me! Don't you know that it's rude to point! Aargh...why do I even bother. Let's go before your insanity rubs off of me!" I was only half aware of it, but I was already smiling for the first time that day.

After the delicious lunch (Yes, it was delicious but I'll never ever say that out loud), we walked down a deserted road towards our houses. Why did he moved right next to my house! Aargh...I hate him so much!...Because he makes me smile...

Tuning Nick's ramblings out, I smiled fondly at nothing in particular and thought, Damn him...I swear his partially, if not fully insane mind will never stop amusing me...I'm glad I told him about my scars, he says that he care but...At this, I bit my lip nervously, one of my many bad habits that I never grew out of.

Absent-mindedly I noticed the black clouds accumulating all across the sky.

Hn...it's gonna rain soon.

Suddenly, I heard a car horning behind us. I turned around, and a flash of blinding white light covered my world. There was a thunderous boom. And then...nothing.

Wasn't that a good prologue? -crickets chirping- Yeahh...I get the hint.

Is there anyone out there who wants me to continue? Then review, my friend...review. I'll update when someone reviews, kay?
