\\Shikamaru\\

My God, I've barely gone to bed and already I want to smash my alarm clock that won't stop ringing. UKNH is the dream of many, but at the moment it seems like hell to me. Waking up at 6:20 in the morning to go to an American football practice is not anyone's dream, especially if you went to sleep almost at midnight. But I don't regret it, last night was a good night and Ritta was hot as hell.

- Good morning sunshine! - Sasuke shouts as soon as I reach the ground floor - You arrived late yesterday, young man. You must have slept for about six hours. That's not good for anyone.

- Don't wanna wake up one day wishing that we'd done more
I wanna live fast and never look back, that's what I'm here for!- I say as I start preparing my food- So mama don't stress your mind.

- Don't call me mama, have some respect, I am the one who cooks in this house!- he says evidently offended.

- Someone woke up grumpy!- I say and roll my eyes at his attitude.

- I'm sorry! It's just that me and Kiba are losing hope on a friend of ours.- Noah gives a sad sigh that I don't understand. They've been talking about this girl for a few months now and from what I've heard she doesn't even go to parties, but the truth is I don't even know her name.

- If it bothers you so much, solve the problem yourself. It's probably just lack of sex, a good night of pleasure and she'll go to all the university parties.

- Shut up, asshole. That's not the problem, she was never the same after that stupid Deimaru. But you wouldn't understand, your love life has been all roses and you have every woman in the university after you, you must have been with at least half the females of the city by now.

- Hey, it's not because I have an active sex life that I don't understand other people's problems.

- Of course not, but your love life is a wonder and you don't know what it's like to suffer what she has suffered. Let's go before this gets worse. The coach will kill us if we're late.

I kept quiet because for the most part he's right, my last few years have been a dream for any young college brat, fame, women and good grades. It doesn't get any better than this. Of course, it also has its downside waking up early, headaches and body aches from tiredness and rarely getting a serious relationship, plus, entrepreneurship is not my first passion. The truth is I love music but few know. Me and my cousin are going to own one of the biggest companies in LA and that forces me to study a lot, but when you really want something, you find time for everything, nightlife, studies, football and music, a lot for poor 22-year-old Shikamaru.

- Good morning my young talents! - says Mr. Parker when we enter the field.

- Good morning coach!- replied Noah and I at the same time.

- Today we will have a meeting after the last class of the morning to talk about the next game, now let's run 30 laps around the field and you better be back before 10 minutes have passed- he shouts the last part and blows a whistle for us to start, the man must be crazy, it's not even 7 in the morning and we are already doing 30 laps.

After one hour of training, we went to the changing rooms and I can tell you, everybody is going to Kiba's party. Even I, who live with him am excited, I don't know what super power he has, but the parties he throws are always the best on campus.

- Good morning little cousin!- shouts silly Ino as she hugs me as soon as I get to the classroom.

- Good morning, ready for a business class.

- Surely not, Mr Milles wasn't born to teach but as a baby sleeper he might get by.- she sighs - At least I have Sai to enjoy.

- I told you not to mess with my teammates. You're too much of a distraction and we need Sai.

- Ah! You guys can go out with anyone but I can't have Sai?!- she asks indignantly - Besides, with him it's different, when we went on our date...

- Calm down, calm down, calm down - I interrupt her before she can continue - Are you guys already in the dating phase?

- Yes, when I said it was different, I didn't lie. I can feel that he's special - he might even be the one! - she says all in love, but I already know my cousin and I know she thinks everyone is "the one" - Stop looking at me like that, this time it's for real. I've never felt butterflies in my stomach, but with him it feels like they're at a party in here, he's so gentle and he's not with me just for my body. Do you know how rare that is? I really want it to work don't forbid me to love because I know you want to find your soulmate too.

- Okay, okay. I won't talk about this anymore, but please don't distract Sai and don't hurt your heart or his.

- Trust me, I won't.- she says with a passionate look at Sai who answers her with a smile as soon as he enters the room, he sits next to her and gives her a kiss on her cheek. Gross, my cousin and one of my friends in love is too weird.

After a completely boring 2 hours of business class, I finally got to go to marketing. This is an amazing class, Ms Castle is amazing and the subject is one of the few that makes me hope for my future as an entrepreneur. I barely sit in my seat and Kiba walks in with a smile so big I can't even explain it. He is taking business marketing so we have this subject together.

- What happened for you to be so happy like this?- I ask when he comes to sit beside me.

- A friend of mine is coming to my party. Do you know how many months she hasn't been to a party?

- Is that the girl Sasuke was talking about this morning? The one who had an unpleasant breakup?

- That's the one. She is finally trying to change and I am happy to have the old Tema back.- so her name is Tema, a mystery solved.

- Well, you look very happy, you and Sasuke look like you want to make a triple couple with her.

- Don't be silly, we just want our friend back. Her relationship was very abusive, but she managed to save herself, so to speak.

- I get it.- it's my only response, though I don't really understand - Maybe I can entertain her at your party since she's going, I bet she must be beautiful to be spoken so highly of.

- No way, she doesn't need a man. Save your dick for someone else or if preferable in your trousers.

- Fine, fine, I won't offer my wonders, but I won't be responsible if she starts.

- Trust me, she won't.- was Kiba's short and definitive answer before the class started.

After the class I said goodbye to Kiba and Ino, and they went to lunch with their friends while I had to go to the football meeting.

- As you all know, next week the game is against second place, our big enemies from Nevada, they have a lot of driving hours ahead of them so we have the advantage of some being very tired.- the coach starts his speech about the big game and I really pay attention. I am one of the runners and have one of the most important spots on the team as a right play makes a touchdown and a lot of points for the team - Before I move on to tactics a few words from our beloved captain Uzumaki.

- Thank you, coach. As you know the opposing team is quite strong and we have to give our best, if we lose this game they go first and we go second. Last year we lost the championship against them, but this year I have faith that we will be the best and show what we are really capable of. So, guys let's give our best and make them suffer, at least two injuries and don't let them do that to our team. Who are the champions?

-We are! -we all replied in euphoria after Naruto's speech. He is the only one of my friends who doesn't live with me. Naruto lives with his sisters Rin and Sakura, the girl who won Uchiha's heart and the only certainty that he really wants nothing to do with Tema.

After the big meeting listening to all the great tactics that will lead us to victory, we can finally have lunch.

- Good morning Meggy- I smile as I greet the canteen worker.

- Good morning, Nara. You don't have to be so nice, you know I'll put some more mash on for you.

- Did I mention I love you today? It's just that your mash is incredible.

- You're a busybody. All you care about is my mashed potatoes.

- Of course I don't. If I did I wouldn't ask how your baby grandson Denis is doing.- she smiles and shakes her head - Yeah, I really listen, I love talking to you but I have to go, have a good day.

- You too!- she says cheerfully as she says goodbye.

As soon as I put the tray down on the round table, I hear a loud scream. Of course, it was Ino, this woman is a real troublemaker, we don't even look like members of the same family. She's all passionate and I'm all about non attachment, she's very hysterical while I'm quieter, the only similarity must be our taste for music because she loves dancing and singing like me.

- How about the five of us go out like the good old freshman days.- Naruto asks referring to the five inseparable, me, Sasuke, Naruto, Kiba and Choji. Kiba is the only one who is not on the football team but that didn't stop us from being friends with him, quite the opposite. He always goes to the games and the parties after the numerous wins, he just doesn't like to sweat and mess up his stylish hair, his own words.

- You're the passionate idiot who forgot his friends to go out with Hinata.- Choji grumbles, and rightly so.

- No way, you and Karui have been going out a lot since Christmas - answers Kiba also with reason.

- And you're so chummy with Tamaki, you forget about Tenten fast, huh?

- Ten's my best friend, don't trip,Sasuke. Or have you forgotten that you had a crush on her before Naruto's sister.

- And what does my sister have to do with this?- the blonde asks indignantly.

- Are you going to tell me you don't see it? Sasuke eats Sakura with his eyes right in front of you.- Choji doesn't seem concerned about the possible argument he just generated.

- So now you're going after your best friend's sister? I think I can see the smoke coming out of Naruto's ears.

- Relax I haven't even gone out with her yet, it was just a kiss – just like that my friends, Sasuke promoted his own death.

Naruto was going to come at him with everything but Choji grabbed him and I finally opened my mouth - Well it looks like I'm the only one who's not in love. - at this moment everyone looked at me with a pissed off face - Look let's all stay calm, Choji didn't kill you for dating his sister and you're not going to kill Sasuke for kissing yours ok? Let's all take a deep breath and let's go outside. Where do you want to go anyway?

Naruto took a deep breath and got out of Choji's arms before answering - I was thinking we could go bowling to relax before dinner and maybe we could eat at the new Brazilian restaurant afterwards.

- I think that's a great idea, just the five of us for old times' sake, the girls find something to do, after all they love talking shit about men and have plenty of lame romantic comedies to watch- Kiba replies and finally we all agree.

After the little shindig on campus, we went to rest before going out and my god I took a beating. Naruto is really good at bowling, I think he suggested it just to beat us, I came last because you can't be perfect at everything and I had fun like I haven't had in a long time. After the divine dinner we all went home.

- Yeah mate we seem to be off today, but then again we can't always be on active duty I need a decent night's sleep every now and then. You've had a lot of fun this week and on Friday you'll have a lot of choices- I say to my buddy between my legs, I'm not spending the night with any woman tonight and honestly, I need it. The man life they all want is good but sleep is even more so, I still have training and classes this week before the party so sleeping well tonight will ensure I'm wide awake for all the offers. I have a good feeling about this party and I can't wait.

So, I turn out the lights and finally go to sleep, it's 10:35pm and I think that's a new record since the beginning of the year, I have to start spending more time with my friends in love. Or maybe not, I don't think my little one would appreciate the lack of sex. Shortly after bed I fall asleep, I guess the bowling really wore me out.

XOXO, see you Soon.
