Fire in the Wind
By Sasurealian
Chapter Three
I wasn't quite sure of my emotions right now. Waking up felt like a huge mistake. First with them drawing my blood, then I had a timed shower and, finally the stupid question of 'are you feeling anxious today?' Are they for real? I didn't even answer the nurse and bumped past her shoulder and into the dining hall to eat.
My hand was doing a fine job of supporting my face as I stirred around my breakfast. It was all mush and more mush. This wasn't real food. I didn't even try to eat it and finally shoved it aside with a groan. Next thing that would happen is I'd be admitted for anorexia. Goddamnit.
No one dared sit near me. I felt like I had this evil aura and I was glad for it because if someone sat next to me I'd likely throw this tray into their face. That reminded me of another certain face that I kept subconsciously glancing at from time to time. Yea, the one with the odd scars and bright sunny hair. Ugh.
He sat a few tables away from me and a few kids were chatting up a storm with him. I noticed the girl with strawberry blonde hair was laughing beside him and her arms with tossed over his shoulder playfully. It made me roll my eyes and look away. I fucking hated everything right now and I really couldn't explain to you as to why.
Although I did take notice that Naruto didn't touch much of his food. Maybe a nibble here and there, but he really didn't seem interested and I wouldn't blame him because this was some legendary shit.
After breakfast was over, I had to take some pills handed to me by the nurse. I pretended to swallow them and scoffed as I tossed them away once she wasn't looking. "Hn…bitch.." I whispered with a smirk. I know what that stuff does to you, too. There was no way I was going to end up all loopy.
Time had passed by and I realized that therapy was starting. Without speaking, I walked into the class and took a seat. The idiot was nowhere to be found, which made me curious because I hadn't seen him since breakfast.
Rolling my eyes at thinking of him once again, I sat quietly as people gathered around and took their seat. There was this eerie feeling circulating in the air as the teacher walked in. A man with oily black hair and pale skin sat in the middle. This was just great. A guy weirder than everyone else was going to be talking to us about our 'problems' haha….laughable really.
"He looks like a snake….can I kill him?" The voice next to me spoke and I narrowed my eyes as I turned his way. His voice was chilled and low. His sounded like he was going to eat him or murder him….and that was in that order. How could someone sound more deathly than me? He almost gave me goose bumps, but instead I snorted with a hidden smirk.
"You must be the new guy." His emerald eyes stared into mine and I leaned back in my chair and crossed my arms.
"Hn…."
"Too bad you're going to be killed before you leave here."
I decided not to speak to him after that. After all his hair reminded me of Ronald McDonald's and I hated that place as a kid. My brother would have to rescue my crying ass from the top of the slides and I couldn't tell if I was really stuck or it I simply wanted Itachi to join me in the tower. I can slightly remember the smile plastered on my face as he slid down the slide with me.
….rabbit trail, I know. I couldn't concentrate. Since when did the snake thing start talking?
"…-and I know you all think that you don't seriously have a problem, but I assure you, you do. That's why I, Doctor Orochimaru am here, to help you vent and realize that it's all okay and we're all crazy."
Pfft, you're telling me. No wonder he works here. He came to terms that he was freak.
"Now, today we have a new patient." All eyes darted towards me and I let out a sigh. Here we go. I couldn't be any more disgruntled right now.
"Sasuke Uchiha….would you like to stand up and introduce yourself?"
"No."
Well that was easy enough.
"Let's try that again, Sasuke, stand up and introduce yourself."
If looks could kill, everyone in this room would be dead. With gritted teeth I stood and slipped my hands into my pocket, "My name is Sasuke Uchiha and I hate everyone." Then once I sat back down, I swear I saw the dude next to me smile which actually did make me a little scared. Was he going to be the next Charles Manson?
"Sasuke, stand back up and tell us more about yourself. Maybe a good way to start is admit why you're in here and what you hope to gain by this."
Pissed off, I stood back up, "I'm in here because my dad is a bastard and I hope to never let him save my life again just to toy with it like he has been doing for the last several years." Once I sat down, no one spoke a word. I noticed the pinkette whisper to a blonde girl next to her and that stupid red head bitch looking like she was about to cry. This was all such a headache.
Suddenly the door opened and Naruto walked in.
"Oh, Uzumaki, good of you to join us."
He wore a blank expression on his face as he sat in the only chair available. The one next to me.
The guy that sat next to his chair swung an arm around him and grinned as he whispered to him. Apparently it was something good because the idiot smiled. I began to slightly wonder why the dude had triangles tattooed on his face, but I didn't judge. Or at least if I did then I didn't even give a shit enough to do a thing about it.
Luckily for me when Naruto came in, Orochimaru dropped everything and moved on with his lesson for the day. I can't promise you I didn't fall asleep 12 times though.
The day was dragging on to being boring. I lay on my bed with my hands over my head. I was glad to at least have my clothes back. I was wearing my red T-shirt that had a picture of my favorite band Mangekyo on it. Their logo of an eye was the highlight of the shirt and honestly red was a good color for me (heh). On bottom I wore my black skinny jeans. According to the girls at my school it made my ass look good so no complaints I guess. I just wondered what the guys thought. Not that I had time for dating; even though I did find guys attractive. Since we're on this topic, I'll explain a little something about myself. I really don't remember being gay, nor do I remember disliking girls. I just know that I like guys and that's all. End of story.
Contemplating everything was making my brain hurt. I turned over onto my side and closed my eyes softly. I wonder where my blonde roommate went. He skipped out of class with that shaggy kid with the dumb tattoos. I know I didn't make any friends here yet, but since when did I become social.
I picked up my iPod from my bag and began to listen to Mangekyo. It felt good to go back to reality; even though my reality was hell. The only downfall to listening to them was, it was this very song I had playing into my ears the day I tried to off myself.
Maybe that day I wasn't planning on dying, but regardless I attempted to sever the one thing that connected me to this world. I regretted living. I really did.
I started to get shaky with anger. I did have other ways though. I could just improvise.
Then this grand idea popped into my head and I was celebrating will glee on the inside.
I turned off my iPod and jumped off my bed. I made a b-line for the men's public restroom and once I got in there, I went into a stall and sat on the toilet. And no, I was relieving myself.
I noticed yesterday that these toilets were made out of glass and if you were really smart, you could break off a piece from around the curves of the pot. If I could pick off a slender piece then I could make that my new best friend. The only enemy here was time. If someone came in then they might wonder.
So I moved fast with my sweet temptation at my heels. That voice kept egging me on whispering 'yesyesyes, just do it!' and I was.
After using the toilet paper dispenser to break off a small shard of the glass from the bottom of the pot, I stood up with a snicker. Perfect. This is just perfect!
Unexpectedly the bathroom door flung open and I moved fast jumping up onto the toilet so no one could see my feet. The guy went into the stall next to me and started to puke his brains out. I took this as a sign to get my ass out of here. I stood off the toilet and flushed it to make myself sound more believable and once I opened the swinging door to leave, the boy in his stall left too and facing directly in front of me was no other than the blonde idiot. Tears were dripping down his face and he looked extremely pale.
"Shit." Was the only word out of his mouth. He moved past me quickly and left while wiping his lips. Well this just got awkward. However I tried to pretend I didn't just see that as I exited the bathroom. I got this feeling that the blonde wasn't up to any good, but that was just my gut feeling telling me that.
I entered my room cautiously just in case Naruto was here, but once again he was missing. It was almost like he was avoiding me. We hadn't said anything to each other since last night. Well, whatever. I guess it was better that way because at least now I didn't have to deal with him.
I tossed myself over onto my bed and let out a huge huff of air. My hands clutched the glass shard I stole from the toilet and I inwardly cheered at the accomplishment. However the thought of being so desperate I went into the bathroom and fondled a potty was kind of embarrassing, but it wasn't like anyone would have to know. Drastic measures call for drastic situations.
All I simply had to do was pop my vein like a cherry and then everything would go dark and that dizzy everlasting feeling would capture me into a world only the silence knows. That's what I wanted. Not this bleach smelling hospital with freaks squirming around!
My scars were like the rings on trees and with each passing season, another mark marred it perfectly. I rubbed the pad of my thumb over the weapon. I was sure that the nurses would find out and scream for help, but that's all they would do. No one cares if you die. No one would care if I vanished. Who is left in this world to care? That's right, no one.
I placed the object to my wrist directly over my vein. My heart began to race and my breath was lost. Suspense. The anticipation was rising.
"What are you doing?"
"What?" I must have jumped a few feet and now my heart was beating for a whole new reason. Naruto had his hand loosely on the door and was fixated on me.
"Nothing." I slipped the shard between my legs and turned my gaze away, "Stop being so nosy."
"I saw something in your hand."
"Stop eavesdropping on me, idiot."
"I can if I want."
"Fine. I stood up and made sure when I did I hid the shard under my blanket, "Let me ask you why you were barfing your brains out in the men's bathroom."
"I was sick from lunch!"
That made me laugh. Was he serious? "Oh yea? What food?"
"Exactly! I threw up because I ate!"
I reached over at him and took his wrist, "you're fucking tiny! Do you expect me to believe that?"
"Shut up bastard! Your anger issues are showing again."
"Or maybe you're right for a change. Maybe it is because you ate that you threw up, but the question is…why?"
I was starting to get to the blonde. His hands shook in anger and his eyes were clinched shut, "Shut up! Don't pretend like you know me, bastard!"
"Heh, why would I want to get to know a loser like you? You're gaunt and loud and you talk continuously! No one wants to be around someone like that."
"Funny for you to say that you're a stupid prick! You don't even have ONE friend here!"
I hissed under my teeth, "I don't need friends."
"That's a lie." Naruto peered into my obsidian eyes and I snorted.
"Your façade is seriously funny; as if you're better than me."
"You know what they say bastard…..it's down the street, not across."
That did it. That fucking did it!
I ran at him and pushed him back against the door until I heard his head bash. He groaned as I held his shoulders against the back of the door. He was so easy to push; he was so easy to break. The flesh that covered his body was dreadfully thin that I could hear his heart at work.
"Say that again, I dare you."
Naruto looked up into my eyes and I saw no fear and no anger. What was wrong with this kid? Why wasn't he scared of me?!
"You're scared, bastard."
"W-what?!"
He reached out and cupped my chin and I lost the will to breathe. If this fucking idiot thought…..no….
I shoved him to the side before he could continue and ran out the door.
I ran until I couldn't anymore…..what was wrong with me?!
Was I really so weak..?
A/N: Welllllp…that's the end of that chapter. It was a little longer anyway =S I know it's been a while since I've updated, but I've been working 50 hours a week, so I think you'll understand.
Please review and let me know what you think!
