I do not own anything that is form the original Naruto story! :( The plot is all me though ;)

The STORY...

I'm surrounded by idiots. But like many times before I don't say anything. I have learned that by stating the obvious it doesn't help them grasp what I mean and thus changes nothing.

It's not like by telling them that they are idiots that they will have an epiphany and suddenly realize how insensible they have been acting. So they all thought I was crazy.

They pay money to read about other people's lives and do not live their own. They look towards other to tell them what beauty is instead of just looking around them and accepting the world as beautiful. They insist that everyone be an individual but brand individuals as strange when they do not follow their set norms. They are all them same with different skins that are not all that different. They want to stand above the crowed enough to be seen but not so far that they are no longer a part of the crowed. I think I like being crazy if that's what it takes to be 'normal'.

It used to be my personal goal to go against all things normal. Then I realized I was letting society control me as much as them. Even when I wanted to wear something that was comfortable I would not if it was the current trend. That's when I decided on my 'I don't give a shit moral.' My basic plan was to not care and keep living life as it was meant to be lived doing well for the sake of good and expressing what I think reasonable. I didn't care what people thought of me when I was in the mood to wear a green tux to school or how I was good at sports but played none instead deciding on going to explore random mountain ranges around those parts. Of course there were rumors.

Some people thought I was a lesbian simply because I said no to every guy in school. My favorite theory was that I was an alien. This theory came from my best friend Hinata. She was the dorkey looking kid that most people bully for money or homework. When they tried to take her lunch she would gladly hand it over but it was given back when they found her food smelled foul. I later found out she ate really strange and yummy things. Hinata was convinced I was an alien since I was so far out there that it was just humanly impossible. Personally I was glad.

Like all good things, the time of my morals was coming to an end. The end of High school was nearing and I had to act like an 'adult'. I was not happy. I didn't understand adults because:

They cage birds and take flowers from the ground to let them die in vases, painted all things gray and filled the skies with antennas and chimneys, they think they are important because they are older, they don't let me walk bear footed or jump in puddles, they buy me things but don't want me to use them for fear of breaking them, they put complex names to simple things, they fight among themselves and spend life time's fighting, they want important jobs but spend their life in chairs, they can't feel the pleasure of spending time looking around them, they want me to eat at set times and not when I'm hungry, when I ask questions they don't answer because I am too young and when I want to do something fun I am too old, they say lies that they don't even believe, they want me to not be afraid but they told me horror stories that thought me how to be afraid, they ask us to be good but all around us there are wars, gangs, drugs, and violence, they fill houses with breakables and we can't touch them, they lost the want to jump and play and forgot the things they use to love, and before laughing they have to ask the clock for permission. I wonder, do they understand each other?

This would be my last time to enjoy the splendor of my youth...ugh I kind of hatted that word. Some kid in my Spanish class over used it to the point to be nauseating. It was strange... I liked him. Some people called him bushy-brows because he had these harry caterpillars as eyebrows. At least that's what I thought. In any case he was cool but downgraded in my book after he continuously declared his love to the captain of the cheerleading squad. She was all things I hated. For Pete's sake she had PINK hair. I usually like sweets and stuff like that but her hair reminded me of Pepto-Bismol or puke. She was all things fake.

Hmm I guess I should give these people some names... (This is just for the purpose of letting you know how the social latter at my school works).

It's like a food chain. At the top are the self-proclaimed "popular people," consisting of:

Haruno Sakura - Cheer captain [currently going out with Uchiha Sasuke - Captain of the soccer team his followers consist of Jugo and Sugetsu - I like to call them "the Jerk Squad"] and her followers are Tayuya and Karin. They all have the same taste in bad hair color.

Yamaka Ino - Captain of the Volleyball team [currently going out with Kankuro - Captain of the football team and his followers are Kiba and Choji - they all like face pain] her main follower was Shion also known as the school slut.

Temary - Captain of the basketball team [currently going out with Sai - Captain of the cross country Team and his followers would be Shino and Naruto - all of them were kinda ok} her main follower was Kin.

Next would be the 'normal people' consisting of Shika - lazy boy genius and all the other poplars followers and many more people I never bothered to remember.

At last there was the 'Geeks' Hinata use to be in this category but she no longer is once people found out about her obsession with aliens. Rock Lee is the leader of the Geeks he is the cool guy form my Spanish class.

Finally there is me and Hinata. We stand alone because no one considers us normal enough to fit into any of their categories :) By the way my name is Tenten.
