'I'm so uncool' anon
Naruto began a tally on the edge of his bed. I knew of that but I don't think he knows I know. He does it for how many days he has been here and it's a lot. Things like this fumbling around my head but shoud I really care about this now? It just feels like lately these guys are- are..isn't the word something like adapting to this real world?
I nearly fell again. I should stop taking this short cut. If I die it will only be my fault but that thought alone made me laugh a little. I yawned with an equivalent amount of tiredness and yawning just because it felt appropriate. Naruto stood in front of me, his blonde hair becoming dirtier and his clear face was becoming darker, bags under his eyes and those marks that are on his cheek, sort of he's using my make up ,which isn't very good, I have no logical explanation for it whatsoever for this but I know someone who does because he is into all of this.
We sat in the library facing each other. We as in, me, Sakura, Kiba and well Caleb. He flicked through pages and grinned.
"Hey listen to this! Caleb is really isn't as cool as he says he is!"Kiba began laughing and I arched an eyebrow. "He got into some argument with some random weirdo on the phone and this whole cool living on his own kind of thing isn't real! He got into some fight with his family and no-"
"I am right here you know!"Caleb shouted back and even I started to laugh and rested my head on the table. Sometimes I feel like Caleb doesn't even exist even though he is in front of me. I swung my legs under the table, I can't be that short that my legs don't reach the floor right? After useless attemps I had to get on the edge of the chair to actually touch the floor. "He is pretty uncool right?"I grinned and I just recieved a pout from Caleb.
"Fine, fine you don't need my help you can take them back to your house and I won't help you-" I stared at him as if my eyes could say no but somehow it did. He sat back down. "Well, I have to get back to something. My friends are waiting for me."Sakura said, did her voice change? Her insecurities change? She has friends?- Of course she had friends but she was- she was talking as if they were really her friends. They aren't her friends. We're her friends, right? I shook my head and then stared at the rest. "On that thought, I'm pretty busy too- the football recruits are being chosen,'heh."Kiba smirked.
"Since when the hell were you into football?"I had to ask. This wasn't making sense, perhaps this is jealousy, jealousy? Jealousy does not feel good at all, actually it feels like I'm being squeezed inside."For a while actually,"He placed a hand on my head and didn't do anything,"see ya later!"He said, giddy and all. I don't remember this style at all. I then turned to Caleb hoping he had some answer and by the looks of it he does, Naruto stared vaguely at the two of us.
"Is it strange that we're settling?"He asked.
"Yes."Both me and Caleb said in unison and I thought I should react to that in some like'ohmygodwesaiditatthesametimeomg' kind of way but I didn't 'cause I am cool. That thought made me cringe inside. "You see, these guys are getting so into this world, that they're forgetting about their old life! TRAGIC!"Caleb explained something so obvious even I had the potential to work out.
I breathed in "Naruto, what were you before this accident of you coming here happened?"He looked at me like I was stupid. "Ninja of course."
"WE HAVEN'T LOST HIM,"Caleb dramatically said "but seriously though, this is going to become worse, look how his hyperactiveness is being drained away, the way he looks is changing too- he's becoming normal like us, with no amazing traits, with nothing cool like movie characters, even Sakura and Kiba- What I'm trying to say is- is that them being here is harming the fans as well as them- we're changing characters that already exist in another universe and if we look at scientific theories about other universes- this- We need to be careful."Caleb explained.
"They're not exactly true though." Although that idea was one of my favorite.
"Not exactly fake either."He replied and I nodded. Naruto's eyes weren't as blue as they were from the beginning and I was starting to think Caleb was right but what can we do about it anyway? It's not like I know any sort of alchemist or spell to get them back, things like that don't exist. On the other hand,Naruto doesn't exist.
I was walking alone to class today, for the past few weeks it's like I'm ignoring my friends. I wouldn't say ignoring, more like I have more important jobs to do? Now, doesn't that sound heartless. Should I really care about this either? It's all going to sink in soon enough. I tripped, eugh, over nothing as well. I returned to my composure and looked around to see if anyone had noticed, lucky for me no one really did.
You know there will always be a lot of people you hate in this world, and some of them have done nothing to you but you still hate them. In my case, thats the majority. Why? I don't know, perhaps it out of jealousy. I mean wouldn't you hate someone who is better then you in one of your favorite things or possibly more prettier then you, in my case that's like everything. I could hear her perky voice as she came towards me, Jade. She was saying something like 'Hey, wait Tanha' I stood still and waited for her to come towards me.
You see, I don't know why I hate Jade. I mean I was never jealous of her really, she isn't that attractive and even though she is good at sports, I never really cared either. I just didn't like her and it's possibly because of her spoilt attitude and the way she speaks or how she acts modest when she obviously knows she is amazing, oh wait so that is my jealousy. I sighed and put up a cocky smile. "Hey there." She did the same and I could only feel the slight bit of tension, we were good friends a year ago, she pissed me off so I decided not to be her friend and I'm pretty sure she still holds some sort of anger towards me, not like I care or anything.
She began talking about the grades she was getting and how unpleased she was of them, they were better then mine, she had no right to complain but all I did was smile and laugh and pretend I cared.
"So Naruto,"Her sly voice crept in. "Are you guys, you know...together?"I was supposed to laugh but instead I stared and shook my head she circled her mouth into an 'o' to give me her stupid indications and pretend innocent. "You know, he's getting into some sort of fight after school?"
My neck clicked and boy was it painful but i whipped my head towards hers, "What?"
"Some person was bad mouthing you or something like that and I guess he declared a fight."She said simply, I was itching to grab her shoulder and grab it tightly.
I stared a little softer now and began to say who but she already answered with a shrug.
"After school, right? Do you know where?"
"That weird alleyway you know- urm by that field, outside of school,where the smokers usually go." She answered. Great, an alleyway, by smokers. I smile in appreciation. Now with this information, would I really go? He can handle himself,right? He is a ninja after all and how uncool would it be if I get beaten up anyway. Yeah, Tanha. There isn't point in you going anyway, he'll come home with a few bruises or none at all.
Still, I felt guilt.
That lesson overrun and it was beginning to rain, I got out my umbrella pushed it up and then hovered it over my head whilst trying to zip up my bag. The umbrella was half broken anyway and I began to walk, towards the first building and then the next and then the gate was there. The rain was becoming heavier at that point and I hear my name being called out, I look back and see a group of boys who are trying to say something but I don't really hear anything and ignored them, making my way out of the gates behind a couple of girls who are extrememly slow.
"No way, who did you hear that from?"The first girl said. How cliche, why is this reminding me of something.
"I heard it from Ella, she said that Jade was talking about it with the boys and they decided to do something and then that- uh what was his name again Noah?"
"Naru-toe right?"They both began talking. "then wasn't it like he said something and wanted to fight?"
Why is this making me feel guilty?
"How cool, I don't think he'll win though- I mean isn't it the whole group?"
"The whole group? Wo-"
Feelings should disappear at this moment, unfortunately I am human,"move please!"I exclaimed, pushing pass and tucking the umbrella back into my bag as my useless step became significant as I sped up. I wasn't very good at running anyway so all of this, I hope was for something.
Where do I go? Where is the field. The damn rain really needs to piss off, "Naruto! Naruto!" I attempted to scream. The field was just, wiping my eyes, there!
I ended up on the edge of the field and then the beautiful alleyway that I needed. With the energy I still had I ran as fast as I could and then dropped my bags in front of the alleyway and looked at the pile of heap which I expected to see. "Naruto?"I questioned and he began to let out a groan. Walking to the heap, what was I supposed to and I could only stare. Like in the movies right? Should I comfort him, kneal beside him and help him. Looking at his poor state made me want to cry, I had to bite my lip to stop it.
"I'm sorry Naruto, I didn't think you-"I paused, "i'm sorry." I got on my knees and put my hand on his shoulder. "Naruto? Are you okay? Naruto?" I shook him aggressively. "This isn't funny man!"
I felt this tug on the back of my blazer which made me stop shaking, "What are you doing Tanha?"I turned around and saw what I thought was this huge pile of mess, I took my hands off the person and stood up. Narutos face was slightly bruised and had some markings on it, I scrunched my face up, he passed me my bags and I took them. "You really shouldn't get into fights."I pouted.
He let off a huge smile,"worried?" and God bless my stubborn attitude but I forfeited and nodded which surprised not only him but me too. "Let's get home then." And once again i nodded.
How uncool of me.
