Chapter 2: finally Home
New Ties...and Old Knots
By SnowyAutumn
We arrived in the village a few minutes before the sun came up. Today was probably the first in months that I actually woke up early without being forced.
If you think I am excited about coming home, I must tell you that, that is a severe understatement. I am totally freaking out over here. The left side of my brain keeps telling me to calm down, but the more active right side of the brain is telling me all this stuff I have to make sure I do now that I am home. Like for instance; clean my apartment, say hi to everyone, eat some ramen, say hi to Grandma, eat some ramen, find Mr. Umino, catch up with Mr. Umino, and lastly eat some ramen with Mr. Umino.
So as you can see my schedule is pretty hectic. Maybe I shouldn't clean my apartment, and if people want to say 'hi' they can come to me. But the ramen eating in my schedule must stay. I mean come on who doesn't like ramen. To those people who just thought 'me' you have never been to Ichiraku.
As soon as uncle Jiriah and I entered town I immediately noticed all the differences. Like for instance when we passed the community park, to my surprise I saw Old Lady Tsunade(grandma) in statue form. It was kinda cool seeing her statue next to all the other district leaders. Now I am not one for education but one day my statue will be standing right along with Grandmas'. Her statue looked so primped and polished and her face looked so nice and kind. If only she really was like that, then maybe she wouldn't chew people ut for something like a simple mistake, like for forgetting a pencil during one of her classes, I was in detention for two weeks. I just forgot my pencil thats it.
Uncle Jiriah dropped me off at the apartment complex that I have lived in for over fourteen years. Well technically only twelve years because I was gone for almost two years on my private tutoring thing.
I turn fifteen in two days. I am actually really excited my first birthday back in the village, and I don't have to wait to long. I'm supposed to be a freshmen...was supposed to be a freshmen last year but I flunked in fifth grade do to behavior issues. Hey its not my fault teachers cant take a prank, it only caused the office to start on fire and hey, they got it out.
Walking up the steps to my apartment I am hit with a wave of nostalgia, and a wave of sadness. Sadness, because this is my home, my home alone, with no parents. Heck! I didn't, wait scratch that. I don't know who my parents were and if they are still alive, I don't know who my parents are...Oh yeah the wave of nostalgia is because I have had so man memories in my small home. So many good, bad,sad and well just memories overall.
A/N:Sorry didn't update in two days because summer school final were today and I had softball practice cuz we are going to nationals. Oh and I still don't own Naruto...
