...

Sasuke lay in his creaky bed, thinking, just like he did every night for the past few years. Bored, asking, begging, questioning. But something felt different that day. It was small and hardly important, but still different. It was a speck of yellow in the dark black sea. It was like a seed,while it was tiny and ineffective, he knew it would bloom to something bigger, stronger, more life-changing. He had a little feeling, deep, deep in his cold, dark heart, that this seed was going to change his life. He didn't know if it was for the better, but the chance it would break his boredom was enough for him to stop worrying a bit, just enough to fall asleep at a healthier time of 9:30.

...

The cafeteria at school was filled with tables filled with people, each clique with it's own little area, all but one that was almost empty in the darker corner of the room.

A pink haired annoying person waved her hand in the air, beckoning Sasuke to come over.

"Sasuke! I gotta gift for you~!" Sakura purred, sticking her arm into her purse.

"I bet it's something lame," Sasuke replied nonchalantly as he sat down, more focused on trying to find that Narutoad in the noisy, crowded lunchroom.

Sakura whipped out a shiny plastic card and waved it in front of his face, almost slapping his nose.

"A fake ID!" She chirped, "I think it'll be pretty useful."

"Woahhhh." Sasuke's eyes widened to perfect circles. "That is SO dank." He took the card from her hands and stared at it in awe. The only bad part was the picture chosen. It was from the sophomore yearbook, where his teeth looked slightly yellowed and he had eye bags. Besides that, he was happy. He had so much more freedom now.

"Mmhmmm! Wanna give it a whirl tonight?" Sakura asked, her tone implying she wouldn't take no for an answer.

"What do you mean." Sasuke was still staring at Sasuke.

"I MEAN, that we should totally check out this nightclub."

"Oh. Uh, ok."

"I'll take that as a yes."

It seemed a tad unnecessary to get a fake ID, considering he'd could get a real one in less than a year, but it was still a nice gesture and pretty useful. He hated Sakura just a little less.

"Meet me after school, then I'll get us a ride to the club, 'k Sasuke?"

"Yeah, ok," He replied, both excitement and anxiousness taking over his body. He welcomed anything new to break him out of his shitty routine.

...

History class was boring, unsurprisingly. Mr. Wallace was being a lazy dick and making everyone write a long paper about some war while he sat at his desk checking Facebook. Sasuke was slaving over his assignment, because if he didn't at least turn it in he would probably fail class. Plus, he actually knew a little bit about the subject. Or at least enough to sum it up.

'The Civil War Summary

by Sasuke McDermik

The Civil war sucked total dick. There was all these guns and fighting, and I think people died. But it was worth it because black people got to stop doing that slave stuff. Abraham Licoln was like the president of the war. He hated slave stuff. He killed some people and then they won, so he went to see a movie or something and got shot by someone who was not Pocahontas. The end.

P.S. Fuck you Mr. Wallace'

Sasuke was pretty proud of himself. It was the first time he ever applied himself to class. He read over it briefly and got out of his seat.

"Ok, when you're done writing turn it in and I'll grade it," Mr. Wallace said, whilst typing some long and bitchy status about his trip to Italy.

Sasuke went up the desk and put his paper into one of the folders. The teacher looked notably surprised that Sasuke actually did something in his class time besides sleep. He went back to his own desk and watched as Mr. Wallace read the paper, his face starting out curious, then concerned, and finally angered.

"SASUKE! TO THE PRINCIPALS OFFICE NOW! AND TAKE YOUR STUPID PAPER!" He shoved the paper and Sasuke, slightly crumpling the it in the process, furious. "YOU BETTER SHOW THIS TO HER. YOU ARE ONE STEP FROM BEING KICKED PUT OG THIS CLASS."

"Wow, calm down, I'm going I'm going." He tried to avoid the gaze of the students staring at him, eyes full of curiosity.

Sasuke packed up his bag and left the class, paper in hand. 'Fuckin Wallace. He sucks total dick' he thought to himself. He was planning on leaving the school, as it was almost over, but as he was about to reach to exit he spotted that Narutoad kid, sitting at the main office, waiting to for something. Like a fly to a turd, Sasuke swiftly walked into the main office, ignoring his plan to ditch school just to sit by the kid.

"Mr. Wallace sent me to the principal," He said to the receptionist, almost eager.

"I'll let her know." The receptionist replied as she typed into the computer.

The blackette sat down on a cushioned chairs across from Narutoad.

The yellow boy had propped himself comfortably on the chair, legs and arms crossed. He had on several bandages over his cheek, covering some of his painted on whiskers. He wore a plain black shirt and grey skinny jeans as well as some shiny leather sneakers. He didn't say anything but smirked confidently in acknowledgement. That was fine. Sasuke didn't feel like talking. He just felt like staring. Narutoad actually looked a bit tired, his under eyes were slightly swollen and dark.

'What an interesting looking kid.' That was all Sasuke could think. He took in all of Narutoad's features, from his sleepy blue eyes to the small pimple on his forehead and the mole on his chin. This kid had a lot of character just in his appearance. It was pretty rad.

"The principal's ready to see you," The receptionist broke Sasuke out of his trance. "First door on the left."

'Shit,' Sasuke thought 'I'm so fucked. Why did I go in here? This sucks more dick than Madonna backstage.'

He opened the door tentatively and sat down quietly with his black head hung down. Principal Lewis looked more disappointed than pissed, grey hairs poking through her giant dyed brown hair, glasses uneven and crows feet comfortably perched by her eyes.

"Sasuke, why are in here again?" She inquired in an exasperated tone.

"Mr. Wallace is hella angry about my Civil War summary." Sasuke replied, eyes averted. He looked down at his shoes. They were a little beaten.

"Show me."

He handed her the wrinkled paper reluctantly.

"'The Civil War sucked d-' Sasuke! you can't write profanity in your schoolwork! No wonder you're in here!" She rubbed her forehead and kept going, "'I think people died'?! You think? For god's sake Sasuke!" Lewis covered her head in her hands and went on. "'So then he went to see a movie' Oh my god, Sasuke, movies weren't around then! Oh god... 'Got shot by someone who was not Pocahontas'...WHY would you put that in?!"

"I didn't know who it was but I knew it wasn't Pocahontas." Sasuke's phone buzzed. He got a message from Sakura.

'where r u?! ur not in class.'

'stuck in bitch principals. wait for me' He replied.

"SASUKE! Put away your phone. Hell!" She threw her bony hands in the air. The paper looked like a used tissue, sitting on the desk sadly, disappointed on what it'd been used for.

"Don't curse at me, Ms. Lewis. It hurts my self esteem."

The Principal ignored him and continued reading, migraine visible on her face. "'The end. P.S. Fuck you Mr. Wallace." It took her a few seconds to realize what she had just said. Her face grew as red and angry as the pimple on Narutoad's forehead. "You know, there's a big fat difference between being stupid and being a jerk! What the hell is wrong with you?!"

'You know, there's a big fat bitch sitting across from me.' He quipped before covering his mouth, then putting it down when he realized he had only thought it.

"I'm not even stupid." He said calmly but clearly offended.

Her face went back to it's natural grayish pink color, looking less angry, more concerned and almost pitiful. She smoothed out the paper and set it down. The silence in the room calmed them both down. Sasuke checked the time on his phone. It was 3:10, class was over. He wondered if Narutoad was still in the lobby.

"Sasuke, how is your home life?"

He looked up, slightly surprised, but quickly went back to his nonchalant expression. He took a deep breath and began his rant. "Hmmmm. Well, let's see here, I'm poor as fuck, my future is basically just being kicked out of school and home and living in a public storage space until I contract HIV and die, I have a jobless fatass alcoholic idiot mom who only watches Nascar all day, a constantly angry drunk tobacco smoking dad who is too busy drinking and fucking random women at bars to come home, my stupid druggie brother who lives in Canada and does nothing but snort cocaine, and my cat with an extra chromosome who shits all over the floor. Yeah, it's fuckin fantastic."

There was silence for about two minutes until the bitch principal spoke up.

"We...we could arrange a counselor to talk to you during class every week or so. If you'd like."

"DURING school?" He piped up.

"Yes, during a period of your choice."

"Oh my god that's the radest shit I've heard all day. Can I do it during history with dick sucking Mr. Wallace?"

"Language, Sasuke."

"C'mon, you can't deny that he's a total fucktard. He spends half his time writing stupid shit and liking pictures on Facebook. And, he's a total manwhore, he even let some bitch fuck him to improve her grade in history class."

"What?! Who?!"

"Some bitch named Hinata."

"Who?"

"Some bitch named Hinata." He pulled out a small apple from his backpack and crunched noisily.

"We will...take care of that later. I'll take to him about it." She brushed her hand through her giant curly mess of hair. He was relieved, he could get out of class once a week and watch his stupid teacher deal with pedophelia allegations.

"Yup. So we done yet?"

"Yes, come here every Wednesday for your counseling."

"'K cool. See ya." He shuffled out of the chair.

"Hold on Sasuke. We're not done yet."

He sat back down, dissapointed.

"You're grades are dangerously low...and if you keep up this behavior...we might have to suspend you, or even worse, expel you," The principal said, pain in her voice. She had concern for the boy.

He froze in his seat. He did hate school, but he had enough dignity that he wasn't planning on being kicked out. "So...what do I?"

"You need to apply yourself more, and we're always there to help you."

He looked down again, at the rug on the floor. "Oh. Right. Apply myself."

"Do you need to be tutored?" She asked as she handed back his summary.

"Um...no, I guess." He put the paper into the backpack, not caring when it was smushed between his pencil case and textbook.

"Ok. Well, that's all I have to say. Please...just be careful. We try to help out our students here. We try not to give up on them."

"Uh, ok. Bye." He got out of his seat and put on his backpack, left the room, threw his apple core at the trash can and missed. He walked down the hall into the lobby.

The lobby was empty, except for an annoying pink haired bitch sitting eagerly there, eyes filled with excitement.

"'Sup!" She chirped, standing up and putting on her backpack. "So, what'd ya do?"

"Eh, I'll tell you later," He replied.

They walked out of the lobby together. Sasuke noticed Sakura was wearing a fresh face of makeup and a semi revealing red dress that would look expensive on anyone else. She looked kinda like a turd in ribbons, better than a regular turd but still a turd. Still smelly and obnoxious.

He suddenly felt a little self conscious when he remembered he'd be showing up to a presumably nightclub in a plain red hoodie and jeans.

"So how are we gonna get to this club?"

"Taxi. Don't worry, I'll pay." She waved around her wallet, smiling.

"That makes sense, because no one would ever want to be stuck in a car with you unless you paid them 50 bucks."

"Haha, very funny." She opened the door out of the school, the crisp air slapping Sasuke in the face.

When they reached the street there was already a taxi waiting for them. Sakura had apparently called ahead of time, which actually worried Sasuke a little, because it meant that this nightclub was probably a pretty big deal. They pulled themselves into the car and got comfortable. The cab started moving. The pinkette told the driver their destination and quickly turned her head to Sasuke like the chick in the exorcist.

"Oh, good news buddy!" Sakura made a cheeky grin. "That Narutoad kid says he knows who you are!"

"What the fuckity fuck. Seriously?" Sasuke replied in shock. The cab driver winced at his language.

"'Eeeyup. I saw him in the main office lobby and asked him. I was like, 'you know Sasuke? Tall, black hair, pale skin?' and he was like 'Oh, that guy who smells like pot and cat fur? Yeah.' Isn't that totally coolio?" She was bursting with energy.

"Don't say coolio, it sounds stupid. And yeah, that's actually pretty rad." Sasuke was happy to know that Narutoad remembered him, even if they were sitting face to face less than an hour ago. "Wait." He sniffed his arm. "I smell like weed and cats?"

...

The club was called pretty popular apparently, as the line was probably a mile long. Most all the people were just college guys and 14 year old girls in heavy makeup and push up bras, faking their way in with faux IDs. It was totally weird, but not really when he thought about it. Sasuke gripped his fake ID tightly when he remembered he was sort of in the same boat as the excited little girls. He could get kicked out if the guards saw through his card.

Come to think of it, he'd done crazy shit from auto-erotic-asphyxiation to crack cocaine but nightclubs were somehow a first. On the other hand, Sakura looked comfortable enough that he could tell she'd been several times already. She was acting like a kid trick or treating, waiting in front of the door eager for candy.

The line shortened as the bodyguards slowly let in more and more underage chicks and college kids. One girl, probably in middle school lost her fake ID and was pushed away from the entrance roughly after pleading to join her friends inside. Sasuke saw her ID on the ground by his feet and ignored it. He watched in amusement as she tried to call her mom with her sparkly, fancy iPhone 6 plus, to get her to pick her up at the pizza place next door.

Before too long the duo reached the entrance. Almost too soon, as he was actually having fun watching the struggling little brat. Sasuke handed the bodyguard his fake ID.

"Sasuke McDermik? 19 years old?" The guard asked in his scarily low voice, his muscles bulging out threateningly, towering over even Sasuke's above average height.

He nodded nervously. The large man looked and forth from the picture to the real guy.

"Ok, come in. Welcome to Club Kristal."

...

Sasuke took in the interior of the club. Rainbow polka dotted lights danced around the dark area. The large bustling dance floor took up most of the room, the light bar area in the corner like a trapped mouse. There was a typical (barely visible) douchey looking club DJ at the front of the room playing typical douchey club music. The crowd was going wild and dancing like they were all baby monkeys on crack. All the girls there seemed to be decked out in heels, makeup and tight dresses, but he was relieved to see that most of the guys were dressed casually, like him.

Sakura immediately pranced to the bar and began ordering a bunch of vodka. She slid a glass of the potent liquid to him. He began drinking slowly.

"Ya know, I always gotta get a little wasted before dancing," Sakura said as she downed her drink in one big gulp, "I dance a lot better drunk." She gestured to the bartender. "More."

"I have a feeling your dancing always sucks, Sakura." Sasuke replied in a snarky tone, polishing off his vodka. "More for me, too."

"Well, you'd be the first one to say that." She mumbled. Her confidence was strong enough to take his insults.

"Whatever." He finished his second glass and the bartender refilled.

"Don't drink so much. I have to pay for it you know."

"I'm gonna get hammered. You'll be poor as dirt by the time we're done here." He finished his third glass and got another refill.

"Get me a fat fuckin thing of beer," Sakura ordered angrily, ignoring what he said but still affected by it, "I'm not feeling very dancy yet."

The bartender silently complied, pouring her a large mug and sliding it across the counter. She downed the entire thing without stopping, smiling proudly when she put down the empty and cold glass.

"Wow, you drink more than my mom and dad combined."

"I'm just getting started." She replied smugly.

Sakura suddenly hopped off the barstool and grabbed her purse.

"Save my seat, bitch, I gotta pee." Her face was reddened in the cheeks from alcohol. She shuffled off, making a bee line to the bathroom.

Sasuke put his backpack on her seat and ordered himself a Sex on the Beach just because of the name. He watched the crowd of excited dancers as he drank, a couple hundred dark heads bobbing up and down like an ocean to some sort of Top 40's playlist. But it was in that dark ocean he saw a flash of yellow.

'Fuckin hell. It's Narutoad.'

Sasuke ignored his unfinished drink and Sakura's seat as he rushed away from the bar and began digging through the large crowd. It was nearly impossible to see with all the people cramped and grinding against each other in seizure inducing lights. He would try to pop his head above the party-ers to try to find that yellow flame, but it was too difficult, his line of vision was stunted. He got himself so lost that he doubted he'd even be able to find his way out anymore.

He continued to wander aimlessly in the dense forest of people, lost in shitty music and rainbow dots. His phone buzzed, it had to be a pissed off Sakura but he ignored her because she was annoying. He dug and dug threw the crowd until he reached reached the DJ at the front of the room, ready to give up until he saw a small step stool next to the DJ booth. He stepped up onto it, and although he was only elevated a few inches higher, it was enough to get a good view of most of the club. And there he was. A yellow head bobbed up and down to the loud music. Sasuke jumped off the stool and rushed through, pushing people out of the way. Though it was hard to tell where he was going, he managed to at least figure out the general direction.

There seemed to be a small circle of college kids gathering around something. He anxiously pulled himself through, like he was opening a curtain, and there He was. The yellow flame was busting out some sick moves, and while he had the same amount of insane energy as everyone else, he was as on point as a professional, choreographed dancer. Someone was recording it with an iPhone, obviously without permission, but Narutoad didn't seem to care. He was in a zone, another level, a different dimension than everyone else in the room. Sasuke watched in awe, his eyes wide open, pupils following every move. It was like he was dancing for a music video, with the way he was in total sync with the sounds.

The music was over too soon and Narutoad ended his dance with a pose that would be cheesy on anyone else. The small crowd clapped, obviously impressed, then disbanded to go on to their own activities, leaving the two alone.

"Yoooooooo," Sasuke gushed, "That was dank as hell. That was fucking professional as fuck."

Narutoad took a second to get back to reality and recognize his presence.

"Sup. Thanks. Hey...I recognize you...weren't you at the principals not too long ago?" The yellow creature asked. The dark light looked good on him, his eye bags weren't noticeable and his forehead pimple looked more like a mole.

"Uh, yeah. Name's Sasuke." He replied awkwardly. He noticed that the blond's bandages were gone, revealing very light scratches on his cheek.

"Yeah, I know. Nice to meet ya. I'm Naruto."

'Naruto. That sounds better than Narutoad,' Sasuke thought to himself, 'Why did Sakura say it was Narutoad? She is such a stupid whore.'

"Oh. Cool name."

The blond boy nodded in response and scratched his neck.

It was quiet for a moment but Sasuke spoke up. "So. What grade you in?"

"Junior. You?"

"Oh ok. Yeah, I'm a senior." Sasuke replied. He thought that he'd be younger.

"So...what'd you do to get into the principals?" Naruto looked curious, understandably.

"I kinda wrote this paper that pissed off everyone."

"Oh."

His expression looked like he a further explanation but Sasuke tried to ignore him and turned the question to Naruto. "So, why were you in the main lobby?"

"Got in a little tussle with a few freshmen and sophomores."

That would explain the injuries. Sasuke wondered how much damage he did on the underclassmen. Either way, Naruto was a lot more hardcore than he expected. It was quiet for a moment but the junior spoke up.

"Wanna get high?"

Did he just read his mind?

"Fuck yeah."

Naruto grabbed his arm and led him through the dark crowd swiftly and expertly. When Sasuke went in by himself, it felt so disorienting and loud, but with his new guide it was like a weird Disneyland ride, like their path of movement was programmed or something. Naruto let go of his arm when they reached the restroom. It was pretty clean considering it was the men's restroom, he couldn't see any trash or writing anywhere. The two entered a large stall and locked the door behind them.

Sasuke got the out the weed from his backpack but was stopped by Naruto.

"Dude." the yellow boy put the weed back into his bag and looked at him disapprovingly. "Kush is for pussies."

Sasuke was shocked at his incredibly blunt statement. He'd heard people say it was unhealthy, dangerous and stupid, but he'd never heard anyone insult it this way. So, in Naruto's eyes, was weed the equivalent of a teddy bear in the drug world? Considering he smoked almost everyday he must've been the biggest pussy in the world.

"Yeah...right."

Naruto took out a ziplock baggie with small colorful tablets from his pocket. "This stuff is the shit."

He stared at the little squares, unsure. "What is that, LSD?" Sasuke'd never done LSD. It wasn't like he wouldn't, he just hadn't yet.

"Yup. It's totally cool. Acid is the bomb. Try one. Actually, try two. I'd like to see how you'd react." Naruto popped one into his mouth and handed a couple to Sasuke. He took it and examined it in his palms. Upon closer look, it was a tightly packed powder shaped into a small square, with a trippy rainbow pattern. He rested them on his tongue and let them melt. It tasted like paper, a bit gross but pretty bland.

"It's gonna take a while to kick in. We should go back to the main area."

Sasuke nodded in agreement and they walked out of the stall. He was curious, but more anxious, about the affects of this drug. He didn't know much about it but it was apparently good with weed so it had to be ok at least.

As they reached the bar area, an angry Sakura appeared and ran up to them.

"What the hell?! Where were you?!" She was drunk as hell, her hands on her hips, her blue eyes (they might be green, fuck if I remember) looking more angry that Gordon Ramsey on his man period, her vibes making it clear she was prepared to wreck Sasuke right in the goddamn club until she noticed Naruto standing awkwardly there and stuck her head into a very confused Sasuke's face.

"Oh, I see how it is. Ignore your best friend to rub butts with fucking Narutoad!"

"It's actually Naruto-" Sasuke interjected calmly.

"Ok, whatEVER. You're a freaking flake you know that?! Lost my seat to a couple of stupid whore bitches because of YOU!" She yelled, tomato red, her fists clenched.

Sasuke flipped her off and started walking backwards, then turning his back, Naruto following suit. The two boys quietly walked into the crowd of dancers, blending in seamlessly, her angry pink image getting clouded by people. Sasuke caught a glimpse of her storming back to the bar.

"Fine, fine! Go dance! See if I fucking care!" Was the last thing he heard from her.

"Ignore my bitch 'friend' Sakura, she's just being a dip, per usual," Sasuke explained as he slowly maneuvered deeper into the crowd.

"What?" Naruto yelled, it was hard to hear. They stopped walking as they reached a less populated area in the heart of the large mass of people.

"IGNORE SAKURA, SHE'S JUST BEING A BITCH."

"WHAT? OH!" Naruto shouted. This song was particularly loud, but soon quieted a bit. "Wanna dance?"

"Eh, I don't really dance. But go ahead," Sasuke replied, locking his hands and stretching his arms.

"Dude, I'm the same. I can't really dance well unless I'm tripping balls."

"So...you were high when you were dancing before?" he asked, mildly surprised at his statement.

"Yeah, I was at the tail end of a shrooms trip. I'm always kinda high on something." He put his arm behind his head and smiled almost guiltily, revealing his large mouth full of teeth.

Sasuke always thought his drug habits were pretty bad. He smoked weed nearly everyday and occasionally tried other risky things with Sakura or his older brother, but he'd never met anyone who was constantly high like this, and not on pot but more dangerous things that even he'd generally avoid. Naruto was fucking hardcore, that was for sure.

"Won't that, like, give you brain damage and stuff?" Sasuke asked, though he wasn't particularly curious about his answered.

"What, do I seem mentally retarded or something to you?" Naruto did a fake pout.

"Uhhh not really. Um. Forget I said that." He replied, slightly regretting his question.

Some wacky ass song that sounded like space noises erupted out of the speakers like a volcano, sound dripping through the room and covering everyone with a musical molten lava. It was all like dun tsst tsst dun dun duh chuka chuka banananananan bong bong bong shhhh shhhh shhhh tsst tsst tsst stsst tsst tsst bang bang bang bang bang bang kkkkkkkkkkkekeekkekekekekekekkek wub wub wub zbzbzbzbzbzbzbbzbzzb wuh wuh wuh chuk chuk ching ching tsssssssssst dun dun dun dun dun dun ch-chang ch-chang chchchch dunndun dun dun pong pang ping peng pung it was totally sick and trippy.

"AW YEAH! This is my jam!" Naruto started doing this weird dance that looked like he was a confused 9 year old boy humping a stuffed animal that his grandma gave him.

It was weird seeing someone as hardcore as Naruto dance like a maniac, but he was probably high on another thing so that explained it. (Or maybe he wasn't high and it was making his dancing shitty. "Uhhhhhhhhhhhh." Sasuke stood there awkwardly for several minutes, watching him dance all funny (and in all honesty, it was not as impressive as his previous dance) as his phone filled up with messages from piss drunk Sakura.

'bitch y si my tab 70 bucks'

'stopp dancing with ur gay frien'

'il so kill u netx time i see u'

'fu k u sausage'

'n fuk u nardo'

'stop ginoring me'

God, she was such a bitch.

After the trippy song finished Naruto smiled proudly. Sasuke ignored the flashing disco lights and loud music, trapped in a little stress bubble with sound proof walls. He quietly muttered 'really dank' in response, but he was preoccupied with staring at the messages on his phone. There was even one from his mom, which was pretty rare nowadays. She was asking what he was doing out so late. It was pretty late, about 10:00, but he didn't see why she gave a shit. She was probably bean-bagging out on the couch watching TV, too lazy to get up to grab her beer by her goddamn self. He quickly responded that he was studying with friends and would be home in a few hours.

"Yo, Sasuke. You aight?" Naruto waved his hand in front of his face, popping that bubble that kept him safe but unhappy.

"Uh, fuck. Yeah I'm ok." He scratched his head, still a little in shock from being pushed back into reality.

"Dude, your vibes are way too stressed out."

Sasuke was suprised to hear that. "Well...people always tell me I'm too laid back."

"You're not laid back, you're just trying to run away from your problems by ignoring them."

That was a huge realization.

Naruto continued his speech. "In fact, you're probably more worried than the average anxious kid at school. Sometimes avoiding things will tire you out more than trying to deal with them. If you really wanna be a laid back guy you need to go with the flow of things, good or bad. You gotta wipe your head, your petty desires and insecurities, and go for that ultimate zen. Turn your other cheek when shit goes bad. You can't always erase a problem but you can always erase a worry. Fuckin enjoy life as a gift and not a burden. Ya can't do much about the length but you can change the flavor."

"Holy titballs, you're right." The whole time he was hurting himself while trying to avoid hurting himself. The alcohol in him made things seem so much more beautiful. "You're like a philosopher dude. A+. Fuckin dank man. Fuckin dank."

The whiskered boy did a strangely innocent smile and quirked his head to the side. "Hey, before I forget. Wanna trade numbers?"

Sasuke was shocked, not just at what Naruto said, but that he'd managed to hang out, get high, and get the number of the guy he wanted (that he'd seen only a day before), all in one eventful night. Everything felt so pleasantly fast moving, it was exhilarating. But it caught up to him that trading numbers from random guys was probably just a normal thing for Naruto, considering his dangerous life style.

"Yeah, yeah. Here, I'll give it to you."

They switched phones and entered their numbers into each others address books. Sasuke was slightly embarrassed of his shitty old half-broken blackberry (and 3 contacts) until he saw that Naruto's phone was the earliest iPhone model, case-less, the screen about to shatter to pieces from its many, many cracks. It was reassuring in the strangest way.

"Wow, that Sakura chick sent you a lot of messages," Naruto commented, still holing Sasuke's phone, reading the many drunk texts.

"Woah, woah there. It may be a shitty phone it still has secret stuff on there." Sasuke snatched the blackberry and then apologized from the harshness.

He chuckled awkwardly. "Oh, sorry dude, I didn't know."

It was quiet for a while. Well, not really, there was still all the music and stuff, but the two students were completely silent and motionless, slowly taking in the affects of the LSD.

Minutes passed and passed. The ground was shaking at his feet. Sasuke watched the polka dot lights shake around the room like coked up ladybugs. The speakers breathing out note after note, it's stomach bulging in and out. The people suddenly seemed more like tall, dark trees in a dense forest, a presence less noticed as time went on. The room was spinning around them, they were the earth, and space and time was going around in a circle looping and looping and he couldn't tell if he was spinning, or the room was spinning, but it was totally crazy. The surroundings of the room swept by his vision faster and faster until it turned into a colorful blur.

He felt the music shoot in and out and in and out of his ear as fast as a bullet, then swirl around his body like a candy cane ribbon, sending him into a tight, suffocating embrace that lifted him off the ground into the air just enough to feel lightweight, like he was flying. High, and higher and closer to the sky, almost touching the ceiling, in flight, he was a bird. Everyone looked like ants to him, small, squish-able and meaningless. He'd never felt so powerful and free. Adrenaline surged through him and fueled his invisible wings.

"I'M A FUCKING BIRD!" Sasuke screamed, the sound of his yell melting into the music like butter on hot toast.

"Shit dude, you're high as fuck," Naruto remarked quietly. His soft voice disappeared into the air around them.

Sasuke was on the ground again. He didn't know when it had happened, but he felt his feet on the surface of the cold floor.

It took him several minutes to recover. He'd managed to calm himself down but remained just as out of it. The music was so loud, and beat was so deep that it shook the room like an earthquake, the music was pulling him to it's source, the neon blue DJ booth. It was a black hole sucking him in violently. He tried to resist, grabbing onto a tree that turned out to be an angry person, but he was too weak and couldn't resist the music notes grabbing on to his clothes and guiding him forward. Naruto followed along, watching, amused at Sasuke's outburst.

He was in a forest, rainbow lady bugs flying through the air towards the vacuum sucking them in, tall trees barely rooted to the ground, being pulled reluctantly, grass and dirt ripped from the ground, each individual particle heading to one source in a fast but graceful ballerina-esque flight

Sasuke grabbed on to several trees but was shaken off as the branches tore off and were sucked in with the rest. Bugs skittered all over his skin, tickling him slightly with their tiny frantic legs before being sucked in as well. As he was forcefully pulled closer to the hole, he saw it, a large mouth, with shiny blue lips and grey teeth and a black tongue. It was eating everything in his surroundings, from the grass to the bugs to the trees. The rough, musical air whipped by him, almost knocking him over from the pure force. He grabbed on to another tree but it was uprooted and consumed.

The mouth didn't ever stop and chew, in fact it hardly moved at all, it just let all the bits of earth brush it's tastebuds before they disappeared down it's throat. Despite it's stillness he could still see that it was enjoying everything that entered it by the slight curve in the corner of it's lips. Closer and closer, louder and louder, almost ear deafeningly so. A thin branch wrapped on his wrist, like it was trying to stop him being sucked in, but he shook it off, as his resistance to the mouth lessened, he walked closer and closer, carefully, out of simple curiosity, though he still made sure to keep his feet rooted to the ground. Entire trees would be thrown past his head, missing by mere centimeters, and it's wood chips would occasionally hit his back or cheek, little light punches.

Hundreds of the rainbow ladybugs were being sucked in, like bits of confetti from a fucked up confetti machine. He finally reached the mouth, only a foot away, taking tiny steps closer. He put his hand on the unmoving blueberry lips, holding his place to avoid being sucked inside. He had to touch the tongue. He didn't know why, but he had to feel the giant ebony creature at least once. With his other arm, he stuck out one of his fingers and poked the it.

It was a little cold and smooth. Feeling adventurous, he put his entire palm on,

much less wet than he expected. Suddenly, he felt a strange connection to the entity shock his body. He could taste everything it could, the wood teasing his tastebuds, surprisingly not bitter but more bland with a slight maple tinge to it's flavor. He'd tasted wood before when he'd lick popsicle sticks, so it was't too shocking for him. The grass was very flavorful and tasted slightly spinachy, but for the most part didn't taste of any food of the regular palette. He could even taste his own palm on the tongue. He tasted the ladybugs as well. They were quite bitter but tasted faintly of skittles. The only unpleasant thing was the bits of dirt. It had a gross flavor, that while it was bland, the more nuanced tastes in it were quite repulsive.

"Hey kid! Get your hands off the booth!"

Sasuke was back in the security pushed him away from the DJ booth. Naruto grabbed his arm and pulled him away.

"The fuck dude, that wasn't even strong LSD." Naruto said, looking mildly annoyed.

Sasuke stood there quietly. He found that he could change the color of any object just by thinking it. He changed the floor to a bright yellow, and dyed Naruto's hair a neon pink. He looked down at his hands and made them green. He looked like Shrek. The now pink haired boy tapped on his shoulder and clapped his hands in front of his face.

"Uhhhhhhhhhhh" Sasuke groaned, he didn't feel 'there' at the moment, he was having too much fun coloring people red, greens, yellows and blues.

"SASUKE!" Naruto yelled, finally getting his attention.

"wHAT." He popped out of his trance, still feeling high but more awake.

"You just fucking put your hand on the records on the DJ booth. It fucked up the music and pissed everyone off."

"Holy shit. That, is rad."

Sasuke felt strangely proud of himself that he had so much control over the club music. "I'm like, the music master. Or music god. I have so much power, I can change the fucking world, look at me change the colors or your hair."

They stood there quietly. Sasuke changed Naruto's hair to green, and his skin orange so he looked like a giant carrot.

"Get your shit together man," the carrot boy ordered sternly. Sasuke didn't have to listen to him, he was just a stupid carrot.

"HOW are you not high right now." He grabbed the carrots shoulders and shook it harshly.

"I've been taking a pill everyday, the effect sorta wears off. All I see is like the ground shaking and shit, that's it."

"You are literally the weirdest carrot I've ever talked to."

The orange vegetable rolled his eyes but then suddenly light up. "Wanna buy some more from me?"

"Fuck yeah, I'll take a hundred."

"It's 6 bucks a tab."

Sasuke decided to buy 5, it was somewhat expensive but affordable. The carrot transferred 5 of about a dozen tabs from his plastic baggie to another smaller one.

"Thanks." He was pretty excited.

"Enjoy."

He went back to coloring shit, he made the disco ball a light orange so it looked like a honeycomb, and the polka dot lights yellow and black so they looked like little bees.

They fluttered around excitedly, going in and out of the honeycomb like they were doing serious business, probably fucking the queen bee.

After watching a while in amazement he noticed the bees were getting closer to him, eventually swarming him threateningly. He tried to swat them away but they were so close, buzzing loudly into his ear.

"WHAT THE HE-" The bees stuffed themselves into his mouth as he was swearing. There had to be at least a hundred. He felt them flying around inside him, bumping around the walls of his mouth and his teeth. They sealed it closed with some sort of sickly sweet honey. He couldn't open his mouth anymore, and stood there terrified that they would all sting him.

"Sasuke?" The carrot said his name worryingly.

"MMMMMPH!" The bees were flying around frantically, and seemed to be cloning themselves, filling his mouth with so many bugs that they couldn't move anymore. Sasuke began running to the bathroom, the carrot following suit. He tried to melt the honey with his tongue but it was so difficult, and he hated the feeling of their tiny wings and fuzzy skin and tiny legs and antennas.

He barged through the door and rushed into a stall, getting on his knees immediately. The carrot was right behind him and he held up his black hair out of his face, seeming to know what was going on.

The honey suddenly disappeared and Sasuke opened his mouth, hundreds of bees falling out by the second. Dead, mangled, lifeless corpses fell into the toilet water, leaving a yellow and black pile. He finally got all of them out of him after using his tongue to shovel several out, and wiped his mouth. The carrot flushed the toilet and let go of his hair. Sasuke stumbled out of the stall, his legs weak. He washed out his mouth at the sink, grabbing on to the paper towel dispenser to keep from falling. The carrot gave him a piece of cinnamon gum for no reason, but he took it anyway.

"Holy fuck Sasuke," the carrot said. "Did you drink too?"

"Like three vodkas and some girly drink," He responded as he walked out of the bathroom with his arm around the carrot.

"Wellllll...that's not TOO bad."

"You're a good carrot you know. Best carrot I've ever met. Thanks for holding up my hair and shit, I didn't want a fuckton of dead bees nesting there and leaving nasty ass larvae babies." They got back into the club and decided to sit down on a bench near the corners of the room.

"Uh, yeah, no sweat dude."

Sasuke rested his head at the wall. He kind of wanted to sleep but he knew it'd be impossible. He caught his breath and sat there calmly. The ground was vibrating, the music was crazy, and the walls were shaking, but after the shit he'd been through it seemed pretty normal.

The silence was broken by an annoying pink haired bitch.

"Sasuke." Sakura seemed to have calmed down quiet a bit and seemed pretty worn out. "L-let's go home." Her hair was messy and her makeup was noticeably smudged.

"Uhhhh...now?"

She took out her pink iPhone and checked the time. "It's...almost 12."

"Uhhhh..." Sasuke was still a little out of it but not so much that he couldn't think straight. As reluctant as he was to leave, he felt he'd had enough of the day. He drank some shit, met Naruto, took LSD, traded numbers, got super high, touched a giant blue tongue, fucked up club music, talked to a carrot and puked up bees. It was an interesting day and he didn't have enough energy for more shit, though he was pretty sure he wouldn't be able to sleep. "Yeah, I think I'm ready."

Naruto smiled. "See ya later Sasuke."

He got up, propped his body against the wall and smiled back.

"See ya later Carrot." He began walking away backwards slowly so he could still get a good view of Naruto, and waved goodbye. Naruto waved back, glowing in the dark club night. He turned his back before looking at him one last time and headed for the exit.

Sakura turned around and shouted, still drunk, surprising Sasuke. "BYE NARUTOAD!" Naruto waved to her awkwardly in return.

...

The taxi ride back was almost totally quiet. Sakura was probably still pissed at Sasuke, considering he racked up her tab mercilessly, abandoned the seat she'd asked him to save and ditched her to hang out with someone he barely knew. But, considering she was drunk and he was high, they didn't feel like arguing, however, he knew that next time she saw him she'd probably be angry.

Sakura fell asleep during the second half of the ride, snoring obnoxiously, but Sasuke decided not to try shutting her up. It'd be like fucking with a hibernating bear. A very loud, annoying pink bear.

The driver pulled up at the 7 eleven, the one that was an equal distance between Sakura and Sasuke's house, so they could split up and get home at the same time. Sasuke dug into her purse and paid the cab driver with a 20 dollar tip because fuck Sakura. He put her arm around his shoulder and helped her get out of the car before dumping her limp body in front of the store, because fuck Sakura.

He walked home. The ground was still shaking, and the clouds were twirling around in circles, but he was used to it by now. The cold air seemed more refreshing than uncomfortable, kind of like iced water in the summer. When he reached his backyard, it's familiarness washed over him. The dying grass and the one chipping garden gnome and rusty metal mailbox. He walked down the gravely path but stopped short to check the time on his phone. 12:30. Hopefully his mom was asleep by now.

He unlocked the door and opened it slowly to avoid making any noise. His mother was passed out on the couch in front of a infomercial for an egg slicer, empty beer cans on the ground. He tiptoed to his room and slid inside quietly. He could hear his dad was home for once, in the master bedroom, on talking to someone on the phone. Crawling under the thin covers of his bed, for the first time in years, he didn't lie there, bored, asking, begging, questioning like he did every other night. He just stared at the patterns on the ceiling crawl around like TV static, and his wooden floorboards shift around. He didn't fall asleep until 4 or 5, but for the first time in forever his nighttime was spent peacefully, head as blank as a newborn.
