"Boruto, you know this little depression phase you're in is such a drag right now." Shikadai smacked the back of my neck before sitting down next to me, his narrow eyes trying to read the annoyed expression on my face. I sighed and turned back over in my bed stuffing my face in my pillow.
"Dude, why are you even here? It's 7 in the morning don't you have a labor or something? Or shouldn't you be out subjugating some bandits?" I wouldn't say this out loud since it's embarrassing but I actually am really glad Shikadai came by to see me. I could use the company.
Shikadai laughed and got up to go sit at my computer desk, did this asshole come over just to play some video games?
"I took the day off, I wanted to come pay you a visit, is there something wrong with me coming to see my friend."
"Visit, or try and convince?" I retort. Shikadai spun around in my chair till he faced the computer. He began typing something for a while before turning back to be presenting the screen.
"Look at this, Thunder Burger just introduced a new spicy chicken sandwich. We have to go try it."
Hmm, I have to admit that does look pretty tasty. I guess I wouldn't be against going to grab some burgers with my bro, as long as he doesn't bring them.
"You know what, sure. How about you come back in a few hours when the place actually opens and I'll come with."
"Heh nice nice, meet me at the usual spot at 11."
"Okay, now please Shikadai... GET OUT AND LET ME SLEEP."
Shikadai laughed as he got up to leave, I dapped him up as he made his way out. Now I can finally continue my rest.
-4 hours later-
I woke with the sun practically blinding me from the window. I hopped up got dressed, grabbed my wallet, and started down the stairs. My mom and my little sister were watching TV until they saw me.
"Hey Boruto, how did you sleep?"
"I slept fine mom. I'm gonna go meet Shikadai in town, might be out late so don't wait up for me okay."
I walked out the door and walked to our usual meet up spot on top of a building. Shikadai was already there waiting for me.
"Yo what's up man, you ready to go?"
"Yeah... it's just that I should probably tell you something while you're here. I brought along a few of our friends."
"Oh okay cool, so Mitsuki, and Sarada? Or maybe Inojin and Chocho?"
"Yeahh them too, but I also brought a few others..."
Of course, I should've known. He is such an asshole. "Really dude, you know I'm not exactly cool or safe to those people. And they aren't my friends neither asshole." I glared furiously at him. I would never call those people my friend after how they treated me when I returned.
Shikadai stood up turned away from me without replying. Almost as if brushing me off when he's the one who invited me.
"Listen Boruto, we aren't little kids anymore. Even if at the moment you don't see eye to eye we are still comrades, that's why me and our mutual friends plotted this little lunch date. We want you all to come together again."
"Have you spoken to them like this? Because if I remember correctly they were the ones who unfriended me."
"Yes, I did actually talk to them right after I left your house."
"And?"
"And they weren't too happy about it either so I did what I did with you and just invited them to lunch. Now are you done interviewing me or can we go now, everyone's waiting on us."
Words can't describe how annoyed I am right now. But I already told him I would come and I'm not one to back down so why not.
After a short walk, we made it to the entrance of the dinner. Walking in, I spot everyone sitting in the booth in the back. I walk over and dap up Inojin before sitting down next to Sarada at the end of the table Shikadai sitting across from me next to Iwabee.
I couldn't help but notice how quiet it got when I sat down. Both Iwabee and Denki shot me a death glare but it didn't affect me in the slightest, just pissed me off.
"If you have something to say then go ahead Iwabee. If not then I suggest you and your boyfriend quit glaring."
"Or what? You gonna get all Otsutsuki's on me?"
What the hell does get all Otsutsuki even mean? This guys just trying to provoke me.
"Both of you, relax. We aren't here to fight, we're here to mediate." Sarada chimed in.
Saradas voice had an air of elagance to it for some reason. Either that or I'm just a bit delusional over her.
"Sure sure, the please by all means me-di-ate princess." Iwabee responds. Using the same pretentious tone he always does.
"Dont take that tone with her Iwabee, no need for you to be an asshole."
"Excuse me? You her guardian angel or something? Bud out Boruto."
I've had enough, this fucker never planned on listening to a damn thing so why waste my time. I started to stand up to leave but Sarada's hand grabbed mines commanding me to sit back down.
"Ah-hem, please sit back down Boruto, we aren't done. And also for future refrence I don't need you sticking up for me."
I sat back down without any resist, something about that girls voice just turns me into a... never mind. Anyways, I obeyed and sat down next to her and locked eyes with Iwabee again.
"Listen man, you for some reason have this unfounded fear in your mind that I'm just a possessed maniac who's out to get you and I can understand that I suppose. But is that really a reason to shun me and spread all these crazy rumors pinning me as a villain?"
"Unfounded? Thats not valid. And as for these rumors, I have no idea what you're talking about."
He's lying his ass off right now, I know for a fact that he was the one spreading rumors about me and Kawaki being puppets for Otsutsuki's and he wants to sit here and lie when we're supposed to be mediating.
"Really, that's the card you're pulling?"
"Again, have no idea what you're talking about."
"Alright enough of this, Shikadai I did what you asked and I tried, so if this blockhead doesn't want to listen then that's on him. I'm not gonna sit here and talk to a brick wall."
I stood back up. Quickly leaving the booth before Sarada's hand reached mine. As I walked away, I heard Sarada say something to Shikadai.
"You all stay here, I'll go talk to him myself."
Well shit, I fear a lecture coming on.
