-/-/17 Today I got up really early. I don't know why but I did. So I took a walk. The city is nice in the morning I'm not sure what to write today. I haven't wrote in a while. I'll write after school.
-------
On school grounds again. There's no one here. I'm by myself, again. The sun rises up. I'm bored. Why did I even leave home so early? I've should've stayed in longer. I heard footsteps. Turn to see. Oh, my favorite person, Sasuke. He's here early too. I wonder if everyone woke up too. Talking of everyone, I wonder who won the game yesterday. Eh, maybe shikamaru didn't quit last minute. I see Sasuke sit next to me. Well that's new.
He didn't say anything. Just sat there. I should say something. Uh, maybe a greeting. "Good morning". I said blankly. "Morning". He said nonchalantly. The lack of enthusiasm is a normal. "So.." I started. What do I say? I don't know him much. "Um, what did you eat for dinner last night?". I said. He looked a bit surprised. "Hn". He thought. "I ate curry,...why?".
"I don't know, I wanted to start a conversation". I said. I relaxed in the bench. It was cold out. "What did you eat for dinner?". He asked. Oof, I think I forgot to eat. "Funny, I don't know ". I chuckled. "I probably forgot to eat". He looked unimpressed. "Are you sick?" He asked. "No?". I replied. I don't feel sick. So I'm probably not. "How come you don't eat?". He questioned. "Uh, I don't know. I forget to". He sighed.
Eh, not like it's his problem. I always wondered why he's never in class. Family issues he says. But I don't really believe him. And the times he's never in class. How is he smart if he's never in the classroom? Maybe he's like shikamaru. Just born smart. "Do you do tutoring?". I asked him. He looked at. "Tutoring? No". He responded.
Maybe he could help me out? Not likely. But it's worth a shot. He's been helping during after school hours. But why? I wanna ask but maybe he'll get offended. Hm, who cares anyways. As long as he's helping me , I shouldn't bother.
-----------
After time and time again. This after school deal helped me catch up in class. But it didn't help with detention. I finally got to see Sakura and she's doing better. I have an upcoming test, and I haven't been paying attention for it. Damn, this isn't going to be easy. Even with finishing up the last assignments. I won't be able to finish anything I have to do now.
Maybe I should consider asking Sasuke for more help. No, I'm being too selfish. He would say no anyways. But if I stay after school everyday, then I'll never hang out with the gang. There's gotta be an alternative way. I can't waste all my time in school.
I was thinking of staying up. But lacking sleep isn't the best idea. I'll fall asleep in class and more trouble..no can't do that. Hm, I can't bother Iruka. What else? Maybe in the mornings I could done some work. That could help somewhat. But I need to finish faster. I don't know what else to do. Maybe during lunch? Then I can't hangout with my friends. Shit this is hard. Maybe I should give up. No then I'll make things hard for Iruka. Grah, this is hard.
"Naruto?". It was Sakura. "Yeah?". "You zoned out". She laughed. Everyone turned to me. "Oh, my bad". I chuckled. Everyone laughed and then continued talking . "Are you doing okay?". She asked me. "Yeah, just tired ". I smiled. "I hear you're hanging out with Sasuke". She said. "Eh, I guess". I groan. "Are you friends now..or?". She asked. "um, not really". I shrugged. "Haha, I guess you should". She said before eating. "Whatever". I laughed.
I looked over to see Sasuke. He was looking at me. Like a glare. What's his problem?
-------------
In this same damn classroom. And with Sasuke. I was finishing up the 15th assignment. I'm almost done. But I still had 5 extra to do. Sasuke was sitting next to me again. He didn't bother speaking with me. Next assignment. And of course, it doesn't make any sense. He saw me struggling, before coming to help me out. "Need help?". He said with a stoic tone. "Mhm". I said.
He was explaining it to me, when I saw his hair was messy again. He should keep a comb with him. I mean it didn't look bad, but you should keep your hair combed. He glares at me. "Do you understand?". "Uh huh". I said. I got to it. I was beginning to work when he asked me a question. "Did you eat today?". What. What kind of question is that? I had to think about it. No, I forgot again. I should really write reminders next time.
"No. Why?". I asked. "Are you retarded?". He asked. I looked at him to see if he was joking. Nope, his face was serious. "Excuse me?". I said. "Are. You. Retarded?". He asked again. "No! What the hell kid of question is that?!". I screamed. "Sit down, Naruto". Kakashi said across the room. "You haven't ate anything in 2 days". Sasuke reminds me. Damn it's been two days? Oh that's not good.
"Okay? I'll eat something when I get home". I brushed off. "No you won't". He said. Who the hell does he think he is. "Yes I will". I repeated . "Then eat something now". He said. "Like what? I don't have anything". I scoffed. He grabbed my hand and we took off to the hallway. "Where are we going?!". I yelled. He didn't say anything. He stormed to a vending machine. "What about kakashi?!". I plead." He left while you weren't looking". He said, while putting in coins into the machine.
"Huh, I didn't even notice". The machine pushes out a treat into the box for grabbing. He went over and took the treat he bought. He hands it to me. "Here, eat it in front me". He said. What? What kind of bullshit is this? Was he forcing me to eat something? I just stared at it. Do I take it?
He grabbed me a hand gently and placed the treat on the palm of my hand. "Go on". He crosses his arms. Do I just eat it and he'll drop the subject? "Alright..". I slowly started opening the packaging of the treat. I took it out and took a bite. I kept glancing at him. He just had a mean stare. He was taller than me, made it worse. I swallowed and kept eating. Eventually I finished. The silence was deafening. "All done". I said. He scoffed and walked back to class. What's his deal? I just followed him. There wasn't any point of fighting with him.
