A few days have gone by now. The past few days have been uneventful. So far my days have been spent with me learning the town and getting used to my new school. I at least got a few more things for my apartment. I got a small microwave, TV, and had a phone put in. And as long as I pay rent on time I get the basic cable channels free. I'm not much of a TV person but the noise is nice. The quiet is nerve racking.
Today is Friday and I'm just finishing up the homework Mr.Gai gave us. It wasn't to hard you just had to remember the basics for all three subjects. I'm sure I did well on them. I want to be #1 in our class by the end of this semester. That's a personal goal that I have set for myself. I came in second for the collage entrance exams. I wonder sometimes who got first. But I'm going to be #1 by the end of this semester. I'll give it my best!
The weather has been so nice outside. So the past few days have been awesome. Everyday the sun shines brightly without a cloud in the sky, and it's been warm with just a light breeze. Before the sun sets behind the mountains it turns to a bright red orange, and leaves a lavender purple sky in its place. And the stars are so clear here at night, truly beautiful.
With half my stuff unpacked and scattered around my apartment I feel a little more at ease. It seems more like a place I would be living in now. It sort of amuses me how a messy unorganized home reminds me more of myself. I at least feel more comfortable. The attendant down stairs is nice and helpful so thats encouraging too. He helped me get a few things together and basically outlined the town for me. He said I seemed like a dimwitted kid who could get lost easily and I knew it was true. So it was really helpful.
I haven't made any friends yet, and also haven't been able to return the raven haired boys cell phone to him either. So thats a little discouraging. I tried to talk to a pink haired girl the other day but she just gave me the cold shoulder and went to sit closer to the raven haired boy. He seemed to have a mini club of fan girls always surrounding him, I think they just got on his nerves though. Still that didn't help with trying to get his cell back to him. I tried a few times but nothing came out. Today though; today's the day I give it back. Honestly it shouldn't be hard in the first place.
The school isn't very far from my apartment so thats good. I walk to school everyday and it's great. I love walking when its so nice out. Also walking to school gives me time to give myself a pep talk before hand. Its okay trying to have something to say before hand. But so far my "pep talks" haven't helped in either accumulating friends or giving the raven haired boy his phone back. God I'm pathetic. I didn't even bring his phone today, maybe I don't want to give it back yet. Maybe I'm thinking that it connects me to him in a way. This is ridiculous! No matter what I'm giving it back today!
I'm at school now so I sit where I usually do and wait for the teacher to instruct us on what he wants us to do for the day. Everyone is coming into class and slowly taking their seats now. I watch the raven haired boy come in too, and I also watch as the group of fan girls crowd around him. The pink haired girl who I tried to talk to is there too. Finally they all take their seats too.
"I certainly hope everyone has the homework packets done that were handed out Monday at orientation. If not this is your chance to do it. If you needed help with anything this is also your chance for that; come up to my desk if you need it." with that the teacher sits back down at his desk and waits as a few people approach him for help. Since I don't need help with anything I become bored fast and wonder if its alright for me to leave early.
"Hey what's your name? Your new to around here right? My name is Lee, Rock Lee," says a guy who looks a lot like our teacher except for the eyes.
"My name is Naruto Uzumaki, and ya I'm not from around here. Nice to meet you!," I say warmly and shake his hand.
"Ya I thought so, you looked kinda lonly and I havnt seen you around here before. Let me introduce you to the rest of the guys...This lazy bastard is Shikamaru, my serious looking friend here is Neji, and this chubby fellow is Chouji," He proceeds to tell them who I am, and they all nodd or say hello back.
The rest of the class is spent with us all getting to know each other, and before long its time to leave. I say good bye and get ready to go when I remember the raven haired boy. Luckily he hasn't left just yet. But I can see that if I want to get his phone back to him I better hurry. So I gather my things quickly and walk to where he's getting his things together.
"Hey umm...you probably don't remember me but we kinda rammed into each other the other day," I say, and it doesn't look like he remembers at all. Or maybe he just doesn't care.
"Ya I remember you. And you weren't looking where you were going and you rammed into me, he says annoyed. What do you want anyway?"
"Oh, sorry about that. It was just such a nice day outside and I...," I can tell he really doesn't care and just wants to leave now. "Anyway you dropped your cell phone and I thought I should get it back to you." He looks slightly surprised for a second, but his annoyed bored face comes back in no time.
"Well, are you gonna give it back or do you want some kind of reward first?"
"What? No, of course not! I kinda left it at my apartment though so..."
"Lets go then." is all he says before he turns and starts to head out. I realize now that he intends to go to my apartment with me and I get a little excited as well as nervous. I'm nervous because my apartment is a mess and yet I'm excited because hes going to my messy apartment. It's strange and a little annoying that I feel this way. He tells his driver that he has something he needs to do and that he will call him later to pick him up.
We walk to my apartment in silence and I become really thankful that its not so far away; I hate it when its quiet. He seems to be perfectly at ease though as we make our way to my apartment. We're pretty much there now and I start to get a little scared. I don't really know why.
"Hey you've finally met some people I see. Good for you, who's your new friend here?" asks my apartment manager. I was glad to, all this awkward silence was killing me. But when I start to answer I realize that I don't even know his name yet.
"Uh, this is...mm..."
"My names Sasuke, nice to meet you." he introduces himself friendly like and it surprises me. I didn't expect that. "Naruto and I were just going up to his apartment to do a few things so if you'll excuse us." I wonder how he knew my name...I didn't remember telling it to him. And why was he acting nice all of a sudden? I wave good bye to Tazuna and head up to my apartment with Sasuke.
"Sorry it's such a mess. I just moved in so I haven't gotten everything put away yet. Uh, heres your phone. It rang once; someone named Itachi called. I didn't answer it so don't worry. I turned it off after that." I turn to give him his phone back but he didn't seem to be paying attention. He was looking at my apartment, examining it I guess. He had an odd expression on his face.
"Thank you, you have a nice place. It's warm." he says this but the look on his face makes it seem as if his words just came out on their own, and that he hadn't meant to say them aloud. "You should really watch where your going you know." And once again his original cold rude attitude returns.
"Ya, I guess I'll remember that. Do you want something to drink or anything at all?"
"No I've got to get going. Thanks though." Then he leaves. I even stare after him a little before I catch myself doing it. Wow, did all that just happen now? And was he actually nice there for a minuet?
To excited to sleep, eat, or bath just yet I decide to go for a walk. It's nice outside tonight. Not very cold and the stars are out now. I'm so happy! Today has gone so well, I don't think I could have had it go any better...well maybe. But still, I made friends and gave Sasuke his phone back. And he actually came to my apartment, the raven haired boy named Sasuke! And he was nice, well it may have only been a minuet but still. Yes, everything seems to be doing okay. I hope things stay the way they are now. Who knows...maybe I'll be able to move on and leave the past behind. I hope so. I can't wait for Monday to come, it's going to be great!
