Iruka told me he was proud of my responsibility and socializing with Sasuke. He knew since we were kids, we never really got along. But he was glad to hear, that he helped me with my work.
So lay, in my bed. I felt content. It feels great to be happy, it deep down. I was missing something. I don't know. I mean, Iruka was upset about the fight. In fact was proud of me helping my friends stop fighting but worried of me getting involved. I wonder what Sakura is going through right now. He parents are probably yelling at her. Same with Ino. I feel kinda terrible for doing that to Ino. She isn't a bad person. We all just dumb teenagers. Then there's Sasuke.
He doesn't have parents either. He lived with his brother growing up. I don't think he does anymore. His brother was a criminal, which is kinda scary. His parents also passed away. Hm, now that I think about it. He's a bit lonely. I mean, he doesn't talk to anyone, didn't sit with anyone at lunch (other than girls bothering him), and very quiet.
Maybe I shouldn't be so hard on him. He isn't a bad guy. Just came from a bad place. I'll be sure to be friendlier to him. Tomorrow at least. Tomorrow is a new day.

Right up. I'm ready for whatever happens today. I hear a growl. Shit, I didn't eat anything last night. I must of forgot when I was tell Iruka my story of yesterday. Oh well, I'll eat something at school. I grabbed my bag and was out the door.
I got to school pretty early. I just walked around the building. Nobody was here, so I didn't want to be bored. I wonder where Sakura is. She hasn't made it yet. I'll start heading towards the front, see if she's there.
I didn't really see anyone. Maybe she's running late? I don't know. I saw down at a bench outside. I didn't know what else to do. I was bored. Looking around didn't have much opinions either. I see a few students pass me by. Someone sits in another bench. Geez, where is everyone one?
I felt someone familiar. I don't know how to describe it. I felt the presence of someone. I looked up. Its Sasuke. He turns back to see me. He did kinda save me ass yesterday. I should thank him, but I don't know if he'll listen to me.
I got up and hurried to catch up with him. Of course,he didn't say anything. He always kept to himself. I didn't know what to say. "Uh, hi". I said. It felt robotic but I needed to start somewhere. He turned his head a bit to me. "hello?". He said, as if he wasn't sure I was talking to him.
This is awkward. "So, um, thanks for helping me yesterday..". Damn, this conversation is feeling dumb. "It's alright, don't worry about it". Phew. That went smoother than expected. " Why do you need to stay after school anyways?". I asked. I didn't think it through before asking. "Why does it matter?". Damn, it was just a question. "I don't know, I never seen anyone else there".
He sighed. "I owe hours. Haven't been in school much". Oh, I expected that. He really missed a bunch of days. "for what? Did you skip or..?". I questioned from curiosity. "No, not exactly". He implied. "Oh, then what?". We've been walking till he stops at his locker. He opens it and starts talking books out. "Uh, foster problems?". He didn't sound too sure about what he said. "Oh". I understood going through that. It sucks, but what can I say? 'me too bro'?.
"Will you be here today?". I asked. It sounded kinda desperate. I mean, the more help the better. "Probably, why? Do you need help on another assignment?". He asked. "Well, I don't know. But it's kinda boring without anyone in the room..ya know?". I said. I felt me tone get softer, and he probably noticed. He signed, "yeah, I'll be here today". I peaked up. "Okay then, I'll see you in class". I smiled. I walked off and then I saw kiba and them. I added myself in their conversation and we chatted till the bell rang.
----------
So, here we are. In the same class since the beginning. Kakashi writing on the chalkboard with that small chalk withered from using. The sound bored me. Hear some girls in the back whispering. I wonder who they're talking about.
Plus the clock is still crooked. I don't know why it bothers me but it does. "Pull out books". This dumb book again. I always hated reading. It hurts my head. But usually kakashi would read it for us. Still, following along is tiring.
I follow along. My eyes glided across, reading every word. This was boring. Looking up. I saw everyone reading. But looking around. I didn't see Sakura. Maybe she's suspended? I don't know, because Ino isn't here either. Hmmm, I'ma need to call Sakura later. Maybe the guys know. Kiba always liked hearing the gossip from Sakura. I mean, so do I, but she isn't here. So maybe he has a clue. He's also friends with Ino. He definitely knows.
Seeing the clock. In somewhat minutes, the bell will ring. Lunch is next, perfect. I could ask him. But just then, an assistant walked in. She hands a paper to Kakashi and leaves. "Kiba, you're leaving". Kiba pumps the air and grabs his things. Shit, nevermind then. He left in a hurry. Oh man.
---------
Lunch rolls around. Shikamaru wasn't sitting in the usual table. Neither was anyone else. Damn what a bunch of traitors. I looked around. Sasuke was sitting alone. There wasn't any girls around him today. Well, I don't really have anywhere to sit. I took a breath and went over to join him.
He looked up at me. "Can I sit here?". I asked with a small smile.
