Hey, me again, this chapter is more of an transitional chapter so please bare with me.

oh yeah and I own nothing, this is all property to the owners of naruto.

I think that's how they do it, regardless, enjoy.


I woke up hugging my blanket, locking it with my knees comfortably. I'm so comfy, so... loosen up. I don't feel tense or rigid, instead I'm soft and flexible. Birds chirping as every morning but this time enjoyable, the sun rays scattered on the floor, illuminating slightly. I hated mornings before, I hated the feeling and could not bear to stay laying down, instead I would get up and watch television or go on my computer or even go to the skate park. Now I just want to keep feeling like this, I can stretch and turn, gently brushing the pillows that for some reason felt so good. BZZTT, my phone vibrated, leaving me to slowly raise my head and reach for it. It was Sasuke giving me his address, asking if I wanted to be picked up or take the bus.

"I can take the bus, I don't want you to waste gas." I wrote and sent. After a few more minutes of resting the phone vibrated again.

"Give me your address, my bro and I are going to pick you up, when do you want to meet?" I looked at the time, 1 pm! I slept for more than 12 hours, how, I don't know. I usually have sleeping problems but tonight was like if I slept in heaven. I don't even want to get up but I need to, for the sake of the project and talking to Sasuke. I put my feet on the floor and stood up, stretching with my arms wide open and groaning.

"I was going to hang out at the skate park for a while before, wanna pick me up from there at 3?"

"Will do."

With that solved I walked to the kitchen with a smile and made myself a breakfast of cereal and orange juice. After eating I got some shorts and socks, shoes and skate board, backpack with all of the essentials to survive a sleepover, and finally ran outside towards the skate park. Running as fast as I could and jumping on the board to go fast, I was feeling ALIVE! The sun was bright and the sky clean from clouds, the dead trees woke up from winter and blushed a clear green. I could not help but to swing my arms wide open and ride with a huge smile on my face. I feel happy. I missed this feeling.

Once there, I went on with practising my skating. It was short-lived though, after an hour and a half, the black-haired pair parked in the parking lot and walked up to me, with their v-neck shirts and tight jeans, showing the toned muscles they had making me kind of thirsty. "Hey, come sit next to me for a bit, I wanna relax before leaving." I was practically begging at the two boys standing in front of me, looking down at the sitting blonde.

"You weren't wrong Sasuke, he is cute." taller Sasuke told to normal Sasuke.

What! He thinks I'm cute, he doesn't hate me. The cutting really worked, it made me feel good and others didn't hate me! I can feel my cheeks blushing so I turned to the floor and pretended that I never heard him. I placed my chin on my knees that were held together by my arms and pondered on the idea that hurting myself actually made me happier. It must be true, it felt good and in the end people started to talk to me and notice me. Maybe if I cut deeper, I would get more happiness... maybe it would make my life worth something finally. Sasuke brushed off his brother's comment cooly but I was busy fantasizing for the next time that I will bring a blade to my thigh, the pleasure will surely make any day better and knowing now how to get rid of the heavy weight on my should some call guilt must be one of the best things that ever happened to me. I closed the pandora box of my life and opened scars and let them slip out of my system. Cutting was now the music to be happy, it would play the melody of happiness as blades were the instruments.

"What's that?" Sasuke pointed to my right leg.

That was my scars, oh shit! Think of something "I fell from my board yesterday, some sign cut me a bit, no big deal." Genius, that makes total sense. They'll suspect nothing!

"Huh, okay, let's go to my place, I'm dying of heat." Taller Sasuke told the other.

"Oh, by the way, I'm Itachi. Sasuke's older brother if you didn't know."

"I'm Naruto, I'm in sec 4."

After the introductions and brief relaxation session we had on the grass by the skate park we walked over to the green Honda, rusty at some points and made probably before I ever went to school. Fifteen minutes later, the Honda pulled into a driveway, not just any driveway. The driveway to a mansion with grey stones and a huge garden by the entrance. This was what upper-class living looked like.

"If you want, we could also go for a dip in my in-door pool later."

"YOU HAVE A POOL!" Oops, I guess my excitement became apparent when my response was louder than the motor.

"Yeah, and it's in-doors."

I wonder if rich people ever got bored, like imagine just having always something to do, and when you got bored you could just buy something new to spend time on. The car stopped and shut down once one of the garage doors was a few meters away, unlocking the car, we all got out and walked to the front entrance. The two massive wooden doors with gold handles swung open. To a marble floor room, decorated with a circular staircase and a huge golden chandelier, along with some Victorian looking furniture and paintings.

"Five bathrooms, five bedrooms, three living rooms, two dinning rooms, a two level garage, pool room, library, wine room and finally a entrance. Don't get lost now." Itachi said while walking up the stairs with a wild smirk.

"Let's go to my room, you won't need to worry about getting lost." I followed the raven to his room upstairs, the walls had solid wallpaper, with a golden line passing by the middle, the railings had metal curved flowers pop out from the metal supports. The rooms weir huge, a piano on my left by some fireplace. He closed the door to his room and told me to sit on his couch, after both of us settled he broke the silence with "The project will be easy to make, I just need you to be able to speak fluently in-front of the class. I already made most of it because I had nothing better to do."

"Really, you already worked on it."

"Yeah, only a bit of work left."

"Oh, then why call me over?"

"Because you also have nothing better to do am I right?"

He was, his shirt was slightly lifted, showing only, showing the bottom of his stomach and abs. Mmmm, he was resting on his bed, laying with one leg folded to a stand and the other stretched out.

"Let's swim a bit okay."

Oh fuck.

Oh fuck.

No!

"Okay." I can't believe it, I'll see him without a shirt. Hope no one will think that I squashed a tomato on my face because I know that I will be shining red when we will be swimming.


tell me hat you think, too slow, too sudden and out of place?
