Alone and forgotten
It's not easy being 17, specially when you're a loner with no friends, and even the nerds pick on you. You are the trouble kid, and you always do pranks on everyone. Not because you want to actually make a fool of yourself or the other party, but more because you want people to notice you. You don't want to be that shadow that fades away when light comes, you want to be the light that shines for everyone to see.
You go trough your whole life thinking that you shouldn't exists, that people ignore you because you aren't really there. The only persons who love you are your parents, and even they are gone. It's a though life for a loner like Uzumaki Naruto, being 17 sucks. All these emotions doing everything they can to break trough that hard shell that is your withering body. Some times they even manage to surface, if only for a fleeting moment it's there like a wave hitting you at full force, crushing whatever spirit you had, making you feel dead inside. Don't misunderstand, it's not cause feeling is a bad thing, it's more because they make you see just how alone you are, feelings make you understand just how much is actually missing in your life... like love.
It's not that Naruto is an idiot or slow, he's just at a point of his life where he actually doesn't give a fuck, the only thing that matters is to actually come trough it all alive. He has had the thought of killing himself numerous times, always trying, never actually managing to complete it. The cuts on his hands are a testament to that.
His clothes show his lack of identity, he doesn't care what he looks like, just that he himself feels comfortable in what he is wearing. Mostly it's jeans and a hooded sweater, he has Nike sneakers on which are worn, spikey blond hair and unbelievably blue eyes. His eyes are perhaps the feature most people notice, they are like piercing shards of ice, you can almost see just what kind of person he is by looking into them. Although most people never give it a second thought. The only ones whom he knew had loved him were his parents, and that was a long time ago, he was 6 the last time he saw them. He remember waving goodbye to them as they left for a social event that the principal Mr. San of the high school nearby was hosting for his teachers. His father was a teacher there and he was bringing his wife along as well. Naruto was left home with a babysitter, a boy named Jirayia. Jirayia was always fun to be with, he was always doing something strange that at the end would make Naruto laugh out loud.
That night when he was in his bed he heard someone downstairs talking, he jumped out of bed in his PJ and went down stairs. What he was greeted with was the sight of Mr. San, two police officers and his babysitter Jirayia in the living room. His stomach tie up in a knot and he felt a kind of strange feeling washing over him, which he didn't understand. As he entered the living room everyone turned towards him, San went over to him and bent down.
"Naruto, I'm afraid something terrible has happened.." He took a deep breath and looked into the baby blue eyes of the young child in front of him. "I'm afraid there has been an accident involving your parents..." Naruto looked up at him tears forming in his eyes, he didn't really understand what was happening, but he somehow knew that his parents were dead.
"What do you mean? They are dead aren't they?" He asked with sulking in his voice, tears beginning to stream down his face.
Nothing ever got past Naruto, his parents always reminded him of that. He was always a bright child, always the pride and joy of the Uzumaki household. Although he heard himself say those words, his brain didn't want to process the information.
"Naruto... I am so sorry." The principal embraced the kid and tried to comfort him as well as he could. The child was crying and screaming, his hands had turned into fists and was pounding away on the adults chest.
As Naruto sat looking out the window in the car, thinking back at the faithful night 11 years earlier, he felt a sudden rush of helplessness come over him, tears started forming.
"What's wrong Naruto?" His foster mother Yuna asked him from the front seat.
Nothing... just got something in my eye that's all. Naruto shrugged, rested his face in his right hand and again fixed his eyes on the landscape they where driving trough.
This was to be his first day attending college, he was two months shy of his 18th birthday and for the first time he was actually looking forward to it. It would be a new experience. An experience he hoped would be better then middle school, junior high and high school. But he also knew not to get his hopes up, he's been scolded many times in his life, and he had learned from it.
As the car pulled up at the front of the college, Naruto noticed all the people walking around, the front was buzzing with activity. Everything from teachers, janitors, and cheerleaders to jocks, nerds and goths where walking around. It was like looking at a bee colony, everyone clearly had an agenda.
Yuna turned around looking at the grown boy "Well, here we are Naruto. Looks nice doesn't it?" She said while a calm smile came across her face.
"This is a fine college you have gotten into, Naruto." His foster father said as he turned off the engine and got out of the car.
Naruto opened the door of the car and got out as well. "I guess, we'll see." He stood up stretching his body after the long drive. "Depends on who I'm sharing a dorm with." He muttered for himself.
After he registered his classes and got the key to the dorm, his foster parents helped him carry his stuff to his dorm room. After he had opened the door to the room and walked in, he did a quick scan, and found the left side of the room to be full of boxes. His roommate must have already arrived he thought to himself as he placed the things he was carrying on the bed on the right side of the room.
The room was big enough for two teenage boys, there where two desks and two beds, it was as if the left side mirrored the right. Everything looked the same for each person. His foster parents walked in and placed the boxes on the floor and desk respectively.
Yuna looked at the boy, cracked an unsure smile and gave him a big hug. "We will miss you, please come home when you get the chance." Naruto saw that tears were forming in her eyes. lthough Naruto didn't feel that he quite loved his foster parents all that much, he felt that he would kind of miss them.
"Yeah, son, don't be a stranger just 'cause your an adult and a college boy now. You know you still have a home with us." His foster father reached out his hand, and just as Naruto reached his own hand out, he was pulled into a tight embrace
"Yeah, I won't forget you guys. I'll come visit." He half smiled and scratched his head. "I guess this is it then..." He said looking down at his feet. "Have a safe drive home."
As his foster parents had just gone past the door Naruto slumped down on the bed. As he was laying there, he thought about who his new roommate could be, and got the shivers while thinking about it. It could be a jock, a nerd, a goth, practically anyone. Just then the doorknob started turning, Naruto gulped as his gaze was fixed at the door.
