"Please show me your I.D…"
"Um, you see, I'm kinda new here so I still don't have my identification card. Is that okay?"
"Well, do you have your certificate of registration?"
"Oh you mean the green one?"
"Yeah, that's the one.. Okay, you may enter…" Whew…
A new year and a new school. I really couldn't help but feel, I dunno, giddy…? Perhaps it's the butterflies in my tummy telling me to RELAX!!! Sighing I just opted to slowly walk towards the halls that would hopefully lead to my first class. Well, it wouldn't hurt to be late on the first day of school not unless I wanted a good freakin impression of a NERD!! Besides, I'm still a Freshie. Well, anyway, back to me.
Here I am starting a new chapter. I recently passed this prestigious college's entrance examinations with flying colors. (Yeah praise me baby!! Yeah!) I really wanted to be a doctor, you know, so here I am taking my first steps onto becoming one. It was someone really I consider precious that made me realize that being on the medical field, you could help others to the extent of what you have—perhaps even more, let's say, save lives
But you know what, being a doctor really wasn't my first love. I actually wanted to be a priest. Don't laugh. It's actually a very honorable profession/slash/pathway. But later during high school, it was when I found out I really wasn't meant being a priest because of my awfully drop-dead gorgeous looks. ( yeah, I'm a bit of a narcissist) What would the sermon be like? A nudist colony?So I quit that dream.
"Oh, quit making lame excuses. Like you're the holy saint of saints yourself. Just tell them you quit because priests don't get LAID!!! But you know...having a holy sermon on a nudist colony sounds tempting..."
There's that voice again. I wonder where that came from? Now where am I? Oh right, at the school entrance…
"What do I do? What do I do? What do I do...?" I repeated this weird mantra inside my head over and over until a tiny voice cracked "Shut up will you! And stop being a drama queen..." more like a squeak to me though...I wonder who that was...
School, well, college to be exact is exactly what I had pictured out to be. A huge and open establishment in the middle of a metropolis surrounded by trees and lush green grass (Now I'm starting to sound like an environmentalist...). A wide and spacious parking area for those with the priveledge of having luxury at their fingertips, err, pockets. The building itself is a sight to behold. Marbled pillars stand guard like colossal monoliths at the very entrance of the school, with its arm-like extension holding the letters K-O-N-O-H-A and U-N-I-V-E-R-S-I-T-Y as if they were damn proud to hold it. If the pillars were marble, so was the floor. Sleek black marble. Suave.
Upon entering into the main hall, you'd be dumb enough if you didn't see the Leaf Insignia on the marbled floor. Delicate golden lines,as if they were carved into the marble, curved to form the famous symbol of our country. A symbol of patriotism, if I may say so myself. And my God, the ceiling! You will definitely say I'm totally out of my freaking mind when I say the freakin Creation Story by Michaelangelo would staring right back at you. You know, the Creation also found at the Sistine Chapel in the Vatican. Talk about spending money--it was extravagant!! Did pilgrims even know the Sistine chapel had a twin chapel? Like I said, I dont want to be a priest anymore. Anyway, getting off track...
The hustle and bustle of the young adults around me resembled the days of high school. You know, status quo… Well there I was busy taking my time when suddenly all I saw was….black? What the hell?!
"Oi, Naruto!! Guess who you big lump of yellow?" sing-songed someone from behind me. Strangely, it sounded like a girl.
Holy Toledo!!! I wasn't even sure if I had friends in this campus. Well, I wasn't thinking about family since the only family I've got is me. Oh my…I am so sorry. that's so rude of me. I didn't even introduce myself.
Well, my name is Naruto. Uzumaki Naruto. We Japanese, well, half-japanese (Im also half-british by the way) always start with our surnames first ya know so its no biggie hehehe. Im about 6 feet 2 inches tall so I guess I pretty much stand above the crowd--most of them at least. Well, the height is an advantage but my hair…God, just how I wish it would just simmer down you know. Its freakin natural BLONDE!! Think about it--a 6 foot-tall blond half-Japanese guy...it just doesnt count. Its always the first thing you'll notice in me from afar. But what about death threats?! I'm gonna be a sitting duck out there! What if someone said "Kill the first thing you see..." . NOOOOO!!! (Okay, okay. That was too much--Fine!! I was acting like a sissy...sue me.)
I don't know if you've heard of the phrase eye-catcher but I just, coincidentally, fit into that description. Its not like I'm trying to brag---but how would you call someone with bouncing sunshine blonde hair, strikingly crystal blue eyes and some strategically placed whisker marks (3 marks per cheek thank you very much…) on each cheek?
Weird but hey, that's me!! And about that family thing, you see, I've been orphaned for as long as I can remember. I've been sent from foster home to foster home until finally somebody had the heart to let me into her life. Yup ,its a WOMAN. I've got my own mom now. Well, not by blood obviously. She's technically an aunt but what do you expect from someone deprived of familial heritage…And about my aunt, she's a doctor. Yup, the one I told you about as my source of inspiration..She's the one. It's not about the fact that she holds that prestigious title-it's about the heart she's putting into the profession. Makes me wonder "How much of one's self is needed to be sacrificed to have people flocking to you like their lifeblood? Can a doctor really sleep at night thinking about the people earlier who poured their souls and hearts out to you just to mend something more than physical wounds?"
But now my real question is...WILL I BE A DOCTOR DESPITE THE PAST I'VE BEEN THROUGH?
"Hey are you even listening to me…."
Holy shit!!! Hehehe, back to the story…
"Umm, sorry…I really don't know…". All I could muster was a weak reply.
"Well, you're no fun." Slowly the said girl removed her obnoxious hands off my eyes. Thank goodness.
Curious, I turned around only to…
"ÓUCH!!!!"
"Ahh shit!!! Fuck you Naruto!! Don't you even leave at least a foot between someone you're talking to? Damnit, my head hurts…" Crap, I thought it was a girl…
I slowly opened my eyes and voila….
"Haku?"
Author's Note: Im not really sure about the pairings here. A friend of mine wanted this to be a NaruSaku or NaruHina while another one wanted a NaruSasu fanfic. Im terribly confused!!
Well, about the summary. Its about meeting someone you really thought you could pour your heart out, share your most deepest secrets and live with till you grow old. But with all the secrets and deception, can you ever mend your broken trust? Or maybe, mend something else?
Hehehe, this is only the prologue though, so the yummy stuff isn't here yet. Im just testing what readers might think about a story based on the summary.
