(Session #4- In Retrospect, Reminiscing and retracting what is left

Part extra: The captain's story)

--

I had so many damn things, that I took them all for granted.

That scholarship. All my great friends. Moderate grades. Star athlete.

Maybe that's the reason why I broke my stupid leg; it ain't all because Haruno was bitching to get me ragged up. It's because I took a lot for granted.

Kinda like karma; it comes back at you, someday.

Maybe that's why so many freak things happened today, a few things I'd rather kill myself for. It's that bad.

You know all that shit, like what goes around comes around.

Me, I ain't too sure of what I'd do next.

Listen.

This is the story of a guy who's taken everything for granted in his life experiencing his second worst day of his life, first being the time I almost lost my leg.

First of all, I get the scare of my life.

I was going to have a head to head chat with Kakashi sensei, trying to rid myself of everything I'd been holding in for the past few weeks… then what do I get?

I enter his flat, and I see him make out, half naked, with a woman who hasn't got any pants on. Nor skirt.

Only a man's shirt, which is probably Kakashi's owning.

They were practically on the way to home base, until Kakashi looked up and saw me trying run away on my crutches. Luckily, he didn't come after me, which would have made things, a hundred times worse. (DS)

Next, I blow a fuse down at the bar, which I almost never go to, except for when I'm out with the team.

I'm a smoothie/lemonade kinda guy, don't drink alcohol; can't stand the stuff.

But I went anyway, since there wasn't much place to go to; I didn't want to meet any other school people, not when I just saw a teacher make out… and got caught seeing. Then who do I meet?

Yeah, Uchiha fucking Sasuke.

No wonder I downed a whole bottle.

I didn't think of the guy as such an ass a few years back. He was just a regular guy, some troubles aside, with too many girls on his hand to handle.

And by god, was Haruno a bundle; she probably bitches more than a pack of gals combined, no kidding.

But then, 'that' happened.

I came to think of him a bigger bastard than any bastards I've seen so far.

He deserves that Haruno bundle of hell.

But he doesn't deserve Hinata, not an inch of her.

Anyways, I blew off the bar as soon as I polished off a bottle of whatnot; I shouldn't have, I can't take in much alcohol, my body don't tolerate none of that. But I did anyways.

Then I make the mistake of falling into one of Zaku's off-schedule parties… on my crutches. Mistake two, I didn't bring any of my mates.

Did I mention Zaku's a Hazaki?

His idiotic spiked up do practically bristled when I entered, soused out of my mind, and wielding my crutches. Thanks bro, for breaking my leg, may I join your awesome party?

It's messed up on so many levels, I get that.

Anyways, I just settled myself on one of the couches, a bit wet from spilled punch that was spiked with vodka, and leaned back, trying to get some sleep. Yeah, that's me, I sleep at parties.

Then some girl suddenly comes on at me, brushing my arms and kissing my neck. From her breath, I smell punch and the distinct odor of tainted vodka. She's pretty much gone too.

The room's lighting's pretty much lowered, so that you only see the silhouettes of the people milling about. And the thumping music tramples out all your senses.

I first was going tell the girl to idle off- I'm not exactly the kind of guy to do one nighters, not like that Uchiha.

Then, not sure what happened, maybe it was the booze speaking; I thought, what the hell, and we started kissing.

It was only half way into the kissing that I realized something very familiar about the girl.

Pink hair. I mean, how many girls do I know that got pink hair and can pull it off? And how many girls do I know who comes on to guys they don't even know the names of? Well, Ino, yes, but she's off with Kankuro for the month, and it isn't likely for her to be two-timing him when they've made it finally official…. At least for this month…

Shit.

It hit me then, like a two ton safe.

I was kissing Haruno fucking Sakura.

The alcohol was still sloshing round my brain, but I managed to stand up staggering and bolted out the door as fast as my crutches would take me.

Just kill me damn it.

Don't know if Haruno knew that it was me. It's better that she doesn't know.

But I doubt she'd be as disgusted as I was, if she knew.

And I thought that would be the end of my mistakes as far as it goes, for the day.

Then 'I' hit the home base.

I call up Hinata, and 'tell' her about it.

Jesus Christ, I must've been crazy.

I'd like to think of myself a slightly better person than when I started the sophomore year, and I really didn't think I'd still be enough of an imbecile to do that to her.

I've put her through enough; I did let her go, didn't I?

Then I go and do this. Life sucks shit.

I've kind of decided once and for all… I don't really deserve any girlfriends.

I could have had a new one; Tenten understood me a bit for a while. She was an okay girl, a nice person to talk to.

But not exactly the girlfriend material; I'd have made her miserable if I went out with her. And as for the fan girls that Hinata once tearfully accused me of having too much, I don't get it.

I don't got any fangirls… do I?

Anyways, the things I just want to focus now are just my grades and the soccer team, got to get this leg ready before the next rounds.

And my friends….

I guess I'm still lucky in that department. I got great friends.

Kankuro, for one thing. Kankuro understands me completely. I get him, and he gets me. As much as people are curious why Kankuro keeps up that hit-and-run dating with Ino, I get why. As much as people are curious why I hate the Uchiha so much, Kankuro gets it. And he's a great player in the team, being the reason that he's the vice captain. We're lucky to have him in the team.

Next, Shika. Shikamaru gets things fine, he's my type of a hang-out guy. Mind, he's got that weird all-at-ease vibe, something not many people can do. Plus, he's got the upper hand of being the guy that's responsible, the 'take care after the shit's blown over' guy. Kankuro's supposedly my 'best buddy', as gay as that sounds, but Shika ties a close second. And man, is that guy lucky; he has everything made. He has his dream girl and a path clean cut out for him, not mentioning the smart head. Lucky bastard.

And the ramen dude. Naruto's also a constant hang-out guy, mostly because he's in the team. Almost all of my close mates are from the team, can't help that much. Anyways, Naruto's kind of the mood maker, the joker and the party boy. You can count on him to be happy 24/7, and the only downside is that, yeah, he's close with the Uchiha. Not that it stops me from being friends with him; I might be sometimes a tight prick, but I ain't that much of a douche bag, thanks.

Now the guy that I feel I owe a few things too; Kiba's sort of an all around guy. He's got a good guy rep, and he deserves it too, for all the nice guy things he do. He's the sort of guy that's always trailing next to someone listening, an easy laid back dude with a smile and an open ear to offer. That makes him sound like a mellow frat-boy, but he's one of the most guy-guys you'd ever see.

I feel like throwing up when I think about Haruno now. Jesus.

After that, Mister energize my life, Rock Lee. He more of Choji and Naruto's friend than mine, but he's a part of the team and a good guy. A little too eccentric for the main flow, but that hyper energy's what keeps the team running, I guess.

For the girl- friends, friends that are girls…

Shika's yours truly, Temari. Well she's everyone's friend. She and Shika's the one that helped me out lots after the Hazaki incident, taking care of the minor details. I owe her one. I ain't that close to her, but I still could have a heart to heart if I had any problems.

Lastly, Hinata. Yes, I can finally call her a friend, instead of my ex or girlfriend. I'm lucky that way. I still care for her I guess, but it's a relief to be hanging out with her without any ties…. The only regret beign that she's with the bastard now. But it can't be helped.

What's more to be said?

I'm content.

Honest.
