Crap crap crap! Today was not going so well. First I woke up late. Second all the hot water was gone in the shower. Third I lost my English text book. And now im going to be late for fucking school! Today was definitely not going to be fun. I finally got everything ready and ran out to catch the bus but god dammit it was already halfway down the street. Shit! No fucking point in chasing the bus down when it wouldn't even stop for me. With a sigh I turned and went back inside. I guess now I could work on my algebra homework.
When I got inside I was shocked. There was another person in here. Shouldn't everyone be at school? Maybe he missed the bus too. I shrugged and walked over to see who it was. When I reached the table he was sitting at and I could finally see his face I realised I'd never met him before. So this is the new kid.
"So you're the new kid huh? Im Naruto" I smiled and stuck my hand out for him to shake.
"Sasuke" was the short reply. After a few seconds I realised he wasn't going to shake my hand so I let it drop.
"So er . . . did you miss the bus too?"
"Only an idiot would miss the bus moron. Do I look like an idiot?" He finally turned to face me and I had to admit, he certainly didn't look like an idiot. While I'm admitting things I may as well admit right now that he was drop dead fucking gorgeous. Black blue hair, navy blue almost black eyes, pale skin. He was beautiful. But his beauty was marred by the almost glare he was throwing at me.
"You're a jerk" I mumbled rolling my eyes.
"And you're a pathetic moron whose parents don't want him" That hurt. And by the smirk on his face I could tell he knew it.
"Look whose talking bastard" His face went blank so I could tell it hurt him but he deserved it.
"That's different" was his mumbled reply.
"How is it any different?!?"
"You know nothing"
"Heh you are such a bastard. You throw it out but you can't take it yourself. Pathetic" I turned and started to walk away. What a dick. Just as I opened the door that lead to the boys bedrooms he spoke, although very quietly.
". . . My parents are dead. Im alone."
"That's it? That's why you're in such a crappy mood? Well I got news for you sunshine. Life can be so much fucking worse so harden up and stop taking it out on people who are only trying to be nice. You don't know what it is to be alone."
"And I suppose you do?!?"
"As a matter of fact yes I do." Sasuke glared at me. Im starting to think maybe this is some sort of contest to him to see whose life is worse. God he's probably just a loser who wants attention. What a prick.
"What got you here then huh? Parents killed in a brutal accident that also took the lives of you girlfriend and your brother and sister? That's barely worse than my life"
I don't know why I did it. I just somehow knew it was the right thing to do. I told him everything, even the things I never told my friends. "My father died the day I was born and my mother blamed me for his death. She gave me to her sister who then died on my 6th birthday forcing me to go live with my mother. She also blamed me for her sister's death. Said I was bad luck. She became a drug addict and an alcoholic and before even a month was out she was also a whore. After I turned 15 the guys she brought home started to hit me and touch me in ways I can't exactly I wanted. The rest of my family don't want me so I got sent here." After I finished speaking there was a silence that couldn't be called awkward, it was more like we were both waiting for something to happen. Eventually Sasuke shrugged and walked over to where I was standing. Within a couple of seconds he was only and arms width away. I noticed strange things then. Like how he was about 2 inches taller than me. And that from a distance he looked hard and withdrawn but up close he seemed softer and had an almost vulnerable look in his eyes. You could tell he'd been hurt in his lifetime. His eyes were broken, like he never expected to be truly happy again.
I couldn't tell why he had walked over, maybe to express some form of sympathy or even pity. Heh screw him. I don't need his sympathy and especially not his pity!
Because of my previous thoughts I was extremely shocked when he smiled the tiniest bit and held his hand out to me. "Alright. You win". My eyes widened in both shock and wonder. What was he doing? Was he just going to try and make me look stupid somehow or did he really mean it in some weird, moronic way? I studied his face trying to find some sign of his deception but found none. Deciding I may as well try and be nice I smiled as well and shook his hand.
"So your heard my story. What's yours?"
"Well mines not as tragic as yours". He laughed. "About 3 weeks ago my brother started acting funny. He's always been weird but he was acting even weirder. I couldn't figure out what was wrong with him. Then one night about a week after he started acting weird he snapped and killed both our parents while they slept. I woke up from my mother's scream, and ran into their room. By the time I got there they were both dead. Itachi, my brother, turned to me with a crazed look in his eyes and started coming towards me. I turned and ran but he caught up and cornered me. I thought he was going to kill be but just before he could the cops broke through the front door and dragged him off me. Turns out one of the neighbours heard my mum scream and called the cops. Lucky they did. I would have come here sooner but they held me in for questioning trying to figure out what's wrong with my brother. Eventually they decided he was mentally insane and locked him up so I ended up here."
Just like after my story everything went quiet. I didn't know what to say. It was different with my story. The people who died in my life had died years ago so it didn't matter to me anymore, but Sasuke's mourning was still fresh. He was still grieving.
"So you think you could give me a tour of the place? The guy who brought me here did last night but I was so tired I barely paid any attention." We both laughed and set off towards the boys bedrooms again, this time I left the lounge area with the knowledge that somehow, amongst everything bad that happened today I had wound up with a new friend. Maybe it was fate?
