"Maybe you want her…Maybe you need her…"

There he was again, leaning against the brick wall that made up the front of his apartment building. Ipod in his pocket, ear phones in his ears, blond hair all over the top of his head, and blue eyes looking at the sky waiting. Listening to the same song…mumbling the same words he did every morning. The same thing over…and…ov-

"Naruto!"

His thoughts were interrupted when he felt a not so familiar hand shake his shoulder to get his attention. Turning toward the offending voice and arm, he stares into bright green eyes. "Oh, Sakura…What are you doing here?"
The young woman smiled at him lightly, "I'm starting a new routine today!"
Naruto made a face raising an eyebrow stepping away from the brick wall, "To run and see me every morning? Not as exciting as it may seem." Walking towards the still moving bus he flicks his cigarette off to the side.

"You really should quit." The blond's head snapped towards her, "Huh?"

"I said you should really quit…"

Naruto sits down on the same bus seat he sits in every morning, "It's the one thing I just couldn't quit…" from the corner of his eye he sees the pink hair and hears her voice but somehow just not registering that she's there. "At least you were able to quit him-"

"No more."

She was sternly cut off by the other man's voice that seemed to carry so much hate. "Sorry…sooooo…How is school?!"

He shook his head thinking how quickly she was able to change the mood, "Well being a freshman in college isn't as bad as a high school freshman that's for damn sure." Sakura sets her hands on the back of the seat in front of her and sets her chin on her hands looking straight forward, "Yeah…see anyone you like yet?" She turns her head to lay her cheek on her hands looking at her blond friend.

"Na…s'to early." his New York accent hard to hide. The pink haired girl couldn't help but laugh, "I'm sure someone likes you! Tall, Dark, Blond, Blue eyes, and that sexy accent" Naruto laughed gently, "Yeah I bet…" he looks out the window his mind wandering…

Since the beginning of school he did the same thing everyday. He woke up, showered, dressed, ate, and walked down all 7 flights of stairs to the bottom lobby. Then he went outside and leaned on the same spot against the same brick wall listening to the same song at the same time everyday. Lit his cigarette and put his cigarette out at the same time everyday. The bus came at the same time. He got on and sat in the same spot at the same time everyday. Then he went to school did basically the same school crap. After school he walked to work then took the bus home. Once home he watched the same thing on TV. At the same time…everyday. Naruto was never known for being such a mundane person. Ever since…he left…his life had been so mundane…It was like being bipolar. From extreme high to extreme low. Yet everyday he always thought, he needed a change but was never motivated enough to change it…

The bus stopped and the pink girl tugged on his shirt, "We're at shitty school Blondie…" The blond made a face of sarcastic excitement, "Ooo goodie! I can't wait to sit in a room full of a bunch of people who think they have it figured out but really don't…" Sakura frowns stepping off the bus and then her friend steps next to her. "Gosh it's sooo cold…I hate DC…"

"No different than NY…probably warmer really…Well I'll see you for lunch I'm off…" The blond was off to his classes. He walked through a small field of snow and dead trees. Snow covering anything that would be alive on the ground. He was a writer, the season that inspired him the most was winter.

Winter's almost over…someone please send me something to inspire…

He pushed his ear plugs back in pressing play on his Ipod and continued to sing to himself

"Maybe you want her…maybe you need her…Maybe you had her…maybe you lost her to another…To another"
