Struggle • Sasunaru/Narusasu diff au

Naruto.

As I woke up to another bland old Tuesday I suddenly felt a sharp pain in my ankle. I slowly lift up my bed cover as I see nothing but half a razor on the bed and the other half directly in my ankle. I sigh, "Welp next time i really shouldn't drink and do shrooms next at nighttime."

Unfortunately for me, I collect the razor and rush to my bathroom to take the other half out of my right ankle. Afterwards, I hop into my shower as I continue my normal routine for school whilst being hungover completely. I finished with putting on my overly concerning baggy outfit and head phones on; hurrying straight out of my one bedroom apartment.

At school

Once i made it to school I rushed into my first class due to not wanting to talk to anyone. I know I will have enough socialization in all 5 classes. Since I normally stick to myself i have gotten ahead in some of my classes so i can attend 5 instead of 8 like the rest of them.

Most people when they see me they all stare for a good minute once they realize that I am Naruto Uzumaki, the kid who was the most rebellious and loudest kid in elementary and middle school. I was quite the trouble maker and somehow never turned into some serial killer like everyone said I would.

Most of the students during middle school would typically pick me as a main target to pick on because i was different. Different meaning, I never had parents. I always depended on myself besides the fact that one of my parents are still alive. My father would always send me money and maids but never was around. He never cared, never attended one birthday, never took time off to see me. He's practically a stranger to me, I can't even picture his face anymore.

I continued to head to my first period class until I see someone familiar, Sakura, one of my childhood best friends. She paid no attention to me. Hell, she didn't even notice me walk past her. Her phone was keeping her the most distracted. I paid no emotion twoards it, its better if she forgets me anyway. I won't be here that longer. Either I die young or die old and alone for the rest of my life.

I then sit down at my desk and unpack my bag to prepare myself for yet again another chaotic class. As I lay my head down i feel someone gently smack my head. I look up and I see some of my good friends, Kiba, Shikamaru, Neji, and Choji. "Naruto are you seriously sleeping?" Kiba asks. "Sheesh you're even lazier than me." Shikamaru side comments. I then let a little smile unfold, "I'm just hungover don't worry you guys I'll be awake when class starts." I reassure them.

"Welllll Neji is going to throw this huge party at the Hyuga mansion tonight and we wanted you to go. Do you have any plans?" Kiba shoots me another question. I look at them blankly for a second acting like if I have any actual plans for today. The reality of it is that after school I go home, do homework, substance abuse, and then pass out. I then smile again, looking excited, "Sure I'll be there. . is there going to be any al-" I was then interrupted by Choji. "Food, alcohol, and some weed will be passed around", Choji chuckles.

Neji then looks infuriated. "There will be nothing illegal at this party!" Neji exclaims. I laugh a bit at my ridiculous friends. "Don't worry there is always stuff at a highschool party, plus I'll even bring some stuff over too." I say. My friends besides Neji all look excited by my words.  We all talk for a bit longer until class finally began and I focused on my studies.
