It was the 20th of July, my first year in college. I loved my life so much and was really looking forward to this new atmosphere with all the new challenges. The campus was so beautiful and knowing that I was an introvert I didn't mind so much walking along in the blissful streets lined with cherry blossoms, their leaves falling to greet you for the journey ahead or something like that. I loved to talk about technology, I mean it's pretty awesome to live and see the world changing everyday some or the other day. It was not the same in the previous decade when I was a child or maybe I couldn't think that much about the world and the future. Heck, again talking to myself.

Life was going as still as an ocean, and "NO", I'm not talking about the small waves which are like the subtle changes happening in life, because overall I am the same person I was last semester. Yeah, one semester has passed away and I am feeling like it's the same life again. I love it but I don't get the feels which I get while thinking about something fictional in my mind. Maybe, I am not that social to start off. I could manage only so many friends. I don't know how will I change the world with all the stuff I have thinking about since the past 6 months, I'm just so lazy, I just need something supernatural to happen in my life. I want to change my character but it's not possible. I just dream every night that the next day would be so awesome and there would be something supernatural happening in my life, but for a tech nerd like me, it's all the same day in and day out.

It was the 10th of April in my second semester. Nothing much to say except that I was disappointed to not see the morning sun falling on those lined cherry blossoms. It was all dull and cloudy out there. I hated it because it made me think a lot which was a problem in itself. As I was entering the main entrance of my college outdoor stadium, something unexpected happened, and no it was not me who reacted to it, not at all. It was something supernatural that possessed my body.

Two guys started arguing about something bullshit out of the blue and the talk looked intense but then the guy with the red shirt was sure strong in his physique hence I assumed that he would win the argument at last, whatever be the case. I started to walk away but suddenly I felt like I was moving towards them and the next moment I took a hit from the red guy standing there. I don't even know why I was there, was it me thinking a lot again. Heck, I forgot to tell you that sometimes I think so much that sometimes I even forget half of what's happening in real life that moment. Should I consider it something supernatural or should I attribute it to my laziness? Who is to answer this? I can't even comprehend what shit I am talking about now.

Back to the real world, the red guy was surprised to see me take the hit and no, it was not the first hit. He already made the thin one puke blood from his mouth a few moments ago. Maybe the scene of blood was intolerable for me. I love everything in this life because humans can control pretty much everything but there is one thing that I do not agree with and that is…

I tried to shove off the red guy from the location by pushing him off by tapping his chest and I guess it was not the right method after all. Another punch and heck, blood was coming out of my lips and there we go again. I started thinking that what would happen if some faculty member sees me here and I am suspended from giving the exams and what about my masterplans which I have to execute in my lifetime. Heck, it was a Sunday and there were neither faculty and not staff members to be the spectators. All I could do was stand there and take the beating for him, and no I was engrossed in my inner world so much otherwise I wouldn't have so much cared about the guy who I was a taking a beating for because he had already run away, God knows where. It kind of seemed like I was in a different dimension where I have exchanged places with him. Is it possible that I changed dimensions? Oh my God! As mad as I am, even when taking a beating I was overwhelmed by the happiness of the curiosity in my brain. Again, the same question popped in my mind, is it something supernatural or jus the laziness of my body taking over.

I couldn't bear it; the pain became unbearable. I signalled him to stop and immediately asked him why he was beating me in a tone which I never have experienced in my life. I told myself that if he can give a pretty reason for his actions, I would walk away or else…heck, I could do nothing, lazy as I am. But the red guy had his gaze fixed somewhere else, he was looking as a reptile in the water waiting to hunt the deer. I was so scared but then a hand pulled me back. As I was going back, I was amazed by the sheer number of people standing there as I started blushing like hell to not able to confront him in any way even if he was wrong and I was right. As I looked forward, I saw a thin man standing in front of me, pretty tall but lean and weak, but his calmness could be compared to some priest meditating in the Himalayas. The red guy started getting angry and called out his name in disgust. "Itachi, why in the world are you here? Do you want to prove that you are more worthless than that brat behind you?" He didn't move an inch, never spoke a word, just stood there, most probably waiting for the right moment to counteract. It was as if he was thinking something, just like me, lost in his dreams before something as important as this. A moment later he took a 360 look of the whole crowd including me as if to expect some cheering up for the courage he showed to take up the front stage. And then there was, the supernatural thing just happened in front of my eyes.

Just as the red guy started charging I could see the glow in Itachi's eyes. It all went red. Heck, eyes could be green, blue, black, whatever but not red unless he was trying to use contact lenses which changed colour according to the emotion he is feeling. Could he be from the future? could he be from another timeline? Well just moments later I could feel the silence around the area I couldn't hear a thing because what happened in front of my eyes, I couldn't believe it because it was really…SUPERNATURAL. The red guy started flying up in the air, God knows how and he started trembling with fear and maybe excitement because the thought of flying is impulsive enough to excite a human. What was surprising was that Itachi asked the same question which I asked him a few moments ago. "Why did you hit me?"

"ME" … as if it was not me who took the beating and it was all him fighting all out from the beginning or maybe he was trying to put some psychological implication to the red guy to understand the bond between humans and how everybody is one entity. I felt the same supernatural feeling, did I change dimensions again? Is it a third world where I am the first kid who was arguing and he is the saviour? Heck, my curious mind couldn't analyse that and I was so confused that I thought of believing what I was seeing, as if it was so "NORMAL".

Itachi: Why did you hit me? What is the purpose of all this fight? You cannot blankly hit another person. Our lives are our lives; however miserable they might be. Humans are born with a mission, to do something great for the next generation. And everybody contributes to that every second. As you talk with your family and friends, you make them happy. As you argue, your conversation relates to new knowledge which ultimately results in the betterment of people around you. But fighting, and that too blood, it just proves that you are making his life miserable.

Red guy: But, he started it. Why doesn't he accept my theory? Why did he mock me in front of everybody last Friday? It was he who was cheered on by faculty and friends. It was as if at that time, I never existed in this world, I was side-lined. How can you supposedly understand what I went through these two nights? Even if I talked with friends, they would bring his name in between conversations and I had to cut out. It was as if I didn't want to see him and the more I avoided him, the lonelier I was since the conversations this weekend were all related to him and I wanted to avoid that. How are you supposed to judge that, huh?

Itachi thinking: Now I will make him realise how mean his thoughts are and what is real loneliness. I have to put him through hell in order to make him realise what he is as a human and how much he has to learn in his life. Retro art would be best to make him see the lonely world and feel how it is to go even deeper in loneliness, it is just the beginning.

It was at this moment that Itachi held himself upside down and widened his eyes as if telling him to run away. The red guy started crying out for help and it was as if others were helpless looking at awe to the hanging friend in mid-air and more so because they knew that he was the culprit.

Itachi: How do you feel now? Have you ever thought that you are worthless in this world and nobody cares about you? Have you ever thought what a world without humans would look like? Have you ever gone out of your mind and thought of the "SUPERNATURAL"? However, intelligent you might be, I can clearly see the difference in you. You cannot think outside of the normal. You cannot imagine a world without a support of friends, family and the general days. You are never happy on yourself. In fact, for you, happiness is something which can only be generated by others and hence you are non-existent when others ae not there. But this time I ask the same question you asked me a little while earlier…." How could you possibly understand what is going through me?" Have you ever questioned the loneliness of the other guy who was standing in front of you?

Wait? Who? Was he talking about me or the other guy who left the "ARENA" earlier crying out. I am not in the same class as him and I never really win some accomplishment and friends. I was just some regular lonely guy happened to pass by at the moment, right or wrong only time can tell. I thought that the conversation was totally misunderstood from the point of who they were referring to but it didn't matter, it was not a fight of strength, it was a fight of truth and ethical thinking.

Itachi (continued): Have you ever seen him walk the streets? Have you ever seen him sitting in the cafeteria alone? Have you ever seen him talk to waving to friends happen to pass by on the road?

God! That sure was rude and depressing.

Itachi (continued): Have you ever seen how lonely he is in his life. What bad does it does to you if he got the chance to make some new friends. Is it wrong? Isn't it what life is for? To make others life blissful and happy. Even if you have to sacrifice your weekend chill out with friends, is it not considerable of you to sacrifice your time for one of your classmates who is struggling in life to prove that he exists?

Struggling? Really? At this moment, I wished I could stop him as I was embarrassed and wanted to say him that I was not the guy he meant.

I couldn't bear the painful shrieks of the red guy as if he was mentally hurt from his statements and couldn't bear it. How could somebody be so much moved with this simple statements of life which everybody knows, right? Sure, there were clouds but there was no rain to give effect to Itachi's statements.

Suddenly, the shrieking stopped and I could hear the raindrops sprinkling down the field. It sure was sprinkling very lightly but the fact is that it was raining. And the red guy was on his knees looking at the blank road as if lost. Itachi was standing there, tall but his eyes were black. It was as if the "SUPERNATURAL" didn't happen and I was only dreaming out there as usual. The red guy cried out that he understands what went through his friend and how mean was he to think bad about him, even when they were in the same class. He cried his heart out that day and I could see the happiness in his cry to finally understand something he didn't as a person. Itachi came towards me and said something in my ears and went out all alone. The red guy was nowhere to be seen. Maybe he headed home too. I stood there thinking was this all real and what he just said me, it was not meant for me, right? I should have told him that.

It was 12th of April when I was walking down the street when I saw the red guy hanging out with someone. On close inspection, I remembered that it was the same guy that day he was fighting with. I guess they already got the message and felt in no need to tell them what Itachi told me the other day. The fight was supernatural or not, I felt happy in myself. I never got to see Itachi, though. On further inspection, I found out that he had been suspended from college for a week for bullying a guy. There was a staff who came in later a and was watching all the commotion Itachi made with his speech.

It was just like yesterday, the same sun sparkling on those cherry blossoms, the leaves withering out as if to greet me for the journey ahead. The ever-changing technology. Just there was one change, I started making friends, I don't know I liked it or not but I truly understood that one cannot alone spread happiness just like that. I have to start small. I wanted to do something big for the society bit I was so lazy that all I could do was think what I could do. Man, if Itachi was not there that day. True or not, I want to believe that what he said was not just for the red guy or the one who ran away or really for me. He wanted to say to the world what it is to live your life happily and at the same time share your happiness. It just like the blood types if you come to think of it. O+ can give blood to anybody but they cannot take blood from them, well we never mind. In real world, there are people who generate and people who consume. This world was never meant to be equal in emotions because then we will never be bonding.

I am more than happy to be sharing my happiness to others and all this nerd stuff. People like it and I never knew that they will because I just assumed. Well, finally I would like to say the thing Itachi told me that day. He said, "Don't just assume. It makes an ass out of you and me." And that's it.

Dear diary, I hope you enjoyed the experience I shared with you. Yours lovingly, Naruto Uzumaki. And what he really told me was that, "You cannot find the supernatural unless it's you believing it".
