It was nice and calm just staring up at the clouds. On the roof no one is there to bother you. Just me and Shikamaru in our private world. He used to only tolerate me because I couldn't talk and ruin his silence, but soon he actually started to enjoy the company. That's basically how our friendship started. His parents are very busy running the Nara company so they aren't home as often. He got used to the silence in his household and kind of expected it everywhere else. In elementary we use to sneak up to the roof just to get out of class. I guess things really don't change. It'll always be us versus this fucked up world.
"You don't need to put up with that bullshit you know." Shikamaru words came out and the silence disappears. I turn my head slight so I can see the corner of his face. His eyes were close. He looked completely at peace. I always envy how he can be so relaxed all the time. I let out a small scoff. I knew he would understand exactly what I mean. That things like this just doesn't matter to me. So what if people hate me? I don't mind. I will take all of their hate if means that I can be alone. I don't like people and I don't like the idea having fake friends who really don't care about you. The only person who I'm okay with is Shikamaru because he feels almost the exact same way. We have each other and that's all that matters.
"We could just stop coming, or hell we could even skip a grade. Our grades are the top in the school. I know Tsunade has been hounding our asses about moving up a grade since we were Freshman. We could be out of this fucking school this year if we wanted." He said barely opening his peering my way. We held eye contact for and a minute before closing his eyes again. I let out a breath. I know he's right and it wouldn't be that big of a deal. I just don't want things to change. I'm not in a rush to finish school though. A lot of people would stop coming to school if they were bullied. I just stopped caring about a lot things. It seems the older I get the less I actually care about what's going on. All the blame goes on Shikamaru. His relaxed nature has effected me in some ways. I got a lot of my bad habits from him. My smoking definitely came from him, but I can't really blame him for my taste in liking alcohol. Even though he is a drinker there is no doubt I got my drinking from my alcoholic aunt. While I'm not as heavy of a drinker as Aunt Tsunade I do indeed drink quite often. It's my sweet escape. We all need a little something to get us through the day. Mine just happens to be frowned upon.
Before anymore thoughts could come to mind the lunch bell had rung. Shikamaru glanced at me and I did so back. We got up from our laying position on the ground and head for the way back to the hallways. Shikamaru was already in front of me and going down the latter. I took a few steps forward and glanced up at the sky. I never could explain why but they sky has always been my muse. I loved the way the blue went on for miles without ever really ending. It was kind of a lovely thought. Something so precious only went away when it was night time or raining, but it always came back again. No matter where I am I'll always be able to see it. It will be the only thing in my life to never change. I shrugged a bit and turned away from the sky and head to the latter. My thoughts don't matter. No one will ever hear them. Even if people could would anyone care?
I finally caught up to my indifferent friend. He looked me with slight amusement.
"Did you get lost Pinkie?" He said tauntingly. He knew I hated being called that. He's such a pain in my ass. I nudge him hard with my shoulder making him stumble just a bit. He chuckled just a bit but leaned over a bit and ruffled my hair. It was a small gesture but it did mean a lot in the long run. I never had any siblings and neither had he. I guess we kind of take up that roll in each other's lives.
The walk to lunch was uneventful compared to most.
'Nothing ever really happens at this school.' I thought to myself being a bit bored. Before I could even fully complete my thoughts a shouting interrupted.
"TEME ADMIT IT YOU'RE GAY, YOU HAVEN'T STAY WITH ONE GIRL. THIS IS PROOF!" A unmistakeable voice yelled from the other side of the cafeteria. Of course Naruto would be the one to shout in a public place. Looking around I could see Sasuke's fangirls with their mouths agape, while others were yelling protest to the accusation. Shikamaru was on the ground from laughing so hard. Even I had a grin because of Naruto's antics. I don't like a lot of people but Naruto knows how to make me laugh. He tries to befriend me all the time, but I either ignore him or Shikamaru will rescue me.
Too caught up in my thoughts about Naruto I didn't see someone approaching me and Naruto. Before I knew it a voice came from behind us. A voice that made Shikamaru stop laughing, my smile to falter, and everyone to look in our direction.
"Is something funny?"
