Hi there everyone. Happy New Year! I wanted to put this chapter out yesterday because I absolutely love it, but where I live got a really bad snow storm and we lost the internet for the whole afternoon and night. I got to add one of my favorite characters, in this chapter. I hope you like it as much as I do. Please review!

A State of Euphoria

Deidara slowly made his way up the road from the main office. He couldn't believe that he had just met the cutest girl ever, today. 'And the nuns say that bad karma will come from doing things they feel are deviant, yeah right, yeah.' He had skipped class this morning accidental, due to an incredibly large hang over from last night. Deidara had just a little too much to drink, and his best friend Sasori just kept the marijuana coming all night. He had woken up this morning on the ground in Sasori's room with a killer headache, and decided that skipping class was the best option.

He now decided that checking on his buddy was probably a good idea for Sasori's sake because knowing Sasori, he was probably still passed out on his bed with a bong in one hand and an empty flask of vodka in the other. No doubt, Deidara enjoyed partying, but not to the degree that Sasori did. Sasori was the school hook up for drugs and alcohol, and everyone knew it. He had almost every drug you could ever want to get your hands on, and the same went for alcohol. As well as having the stuff, he also probably used more drugs himself than every student at SMA put together did. The guy just couldn't help himself. Sasori always liked the constant feeling of being high in every way possible, so was only completely sober on rare occasions.

Deidara cared deeply for his friend, and feared the consequences of Sasori's constant addiction to drugs and alcohol. He knew it would eventually be Sasori's demise, and he was completely socked that his friend was still alive. Sasori was a natural highly intelligent person, and was considered a genius by some. If it wasn't for his lack of focus and constant need to be inebriated, then he could probably be the next Einstein. His test scores were of the charts and his writing was phenomenal, but he was flunking almost every class because he often either skipped class or just didn't do the work.

The only reason he wasn't ever kicked out of school was because of his father. Sasori's dad was an extremely wealthy CEO for a company, and paid the school off for his son's shortcomings with a large sum of money. His father either was completely oblivious to Sasori's addictions or just didn't care about his own son's well being. But, this didn't affect Sasori one bit. He could really care less about his father and his father's money, but was constantly supplied with more and more of this money, as well as making plenty himself from his small business endeavors. Deidara was always curious as to how his friend was able to smuggle in all these items that were frowned upon at SMA, but Sasori could never give him a straight answer. This was partially due to the fact that Sasori was always drunk or high, and occasionally both.

Deidara walked through the halls of the guy's student housing, and came to Sasori's room in no time. He didn't knock on the door because he knew Sasori could care less and probably left it unlocked anyway. Deidara opened the door and saw that the room was still in its usual mess on Sasori's side of it. Sasori's roommate Kimimaro Kaguya was generally pretty clean and was almost always in the room, when he wasn't in classes. This was because he would constantly claim to have some sort of illness that bothered him. Deidara thought he was full of shit though, and thought he only pretended to be sick in order to get attention from a girl named Tayuya that Kimimaro was absolutely obsessed with.

Deidara soon enough spotted Sasori passed out face down on his bed, just as Deidara had expected. Sublime was still playing in the room, just as it had been when Deidara had left that morning, and he could see Sasori's heroine needle still being gripped in his hand as he slept. Deidara quickly shut the door and went over to shake Sasori awake.

"Sasori, wake up, you're missing all your classes, yeah," Deidara said.

"Dei, man...what about coke," Sasori mumbled out incoherently.

"Come on Sasori, get up all ready, yeah," Deidara said while pulling his friend up off the bed.

"Dude, chill the fuck out; if you wanted drugs all you had to do was ask man," Sasori said as he started opening his eyes and instantly put a bottle of whiskey to his lips.

"Sasori, I'm not looking for drugs. I came to check on you, to make sure that you were okay, yeah," Deidara told him with concern in his voice.

"Yeah, I'm fine dude. I'm still just a little wasted from last night. Man that was some night. Kisame got so fucking drunk," Sasori stated as he started popping pills into his mouth with the whiskey.

"Yeah, he did get really trashed again. Hey, are you sure you should be doing that, yeah," Deidara asked Sasori, referring to his mixing of drugs and alcohol.

"It's fine; you worry way too much man. It just doubles the effect," Sasori stated plainly.

"Just what you need, yeah," Deidara said sarcastically.

"Ah...I'm so messed today man. I can't go to class. If you go, tell my teachers that I have some kind of skin infection...that's contagious...from a weird reaction to the cafeteria meatloaf," Sasori thought up quickly, even with his haze.

"Sure, but I don't think they'll believe me, yeah," Deidara hypothesized.

"Those nuns and priests are so out of their fucking minds, of course they will. But, if they don't then say it's flesh eating. They always believe that one because no one wants to fucking come near me when I say it, not even the nurse," Sasori said while laughing and taking another sip of his whiskey.

"Sure, whatever, yeah," Deidara said.

"So, what are you doing later after classes end," Sasori asked his best friend, with only a little curiosity.

"Well, I have detention, but I can get out of it, yeah," Deidara assured Sasori.

"What for," Sasori questioned.

"Well, I was still a little out of it this morning from last night, and so I didn't have my uniform on when I went to the main office. Sister Shizune gave me detention, yeah," Deidara answered.

"Why the hell would you go to the main office? That would be like me being sober when I spend the fucking holidays with my father," Sasori said while taking another large drink of his whiskey at the thought of his dad.

"Well, I met this girl, and...," Deidara started.

"Who," Sasori asked while cutting him off.

"You don't know her; she's new here. Her name's Sakura, yeah," Deidara said with a huge grin.

"Sounds like someone is over last year's girl," Sasori assumed.

"I was over her last year when I was with her, yeah," Deidara stated completely honest.

"What ever happened to her anyway? Weren't you two pretty serious" Sasori asked as he started to roll a joint.

"Na, we just went at it a few times, yeah; that was all it ever was. I think she got busted by her parents for smoking crack, and is now in some rehabilitation center out in Texas, yeah," Deidara answered.

"Amateur; so...what, are you looking to fill the void that your crack girl left," Sasori asked while lighting up his joint.

"No, Sakura isn't like that; she's something special, yeah," Deidara said through a huge grin, while thinking back about his walk with Sakura.

"What, is she a virgin," Sasori asked while blowing out a puff of smoke and passing the joint over to Deidara.

"Well, yeah she is, yeah," Deidara said while taking a smoke of the joint.

"Hmmm...so we have a Mary amongst us; interesting, very interesting," Sasori stated with a mischievous smirk.

So how was it? Please review!
