This Is My Story

Graduation

Bbrrrrrrriiiiiiiiinnnnnnnggggggg.

My alarm rang. Great another start to another boring day. I hope Naruto has something planned for today. I always enjoy his pranks. I thought as I got out of bed and dragged myself to the bathroom.

After taking a shower, brushing my teeth, and washing my face I went back to my room to change into my clothes. I had put on a white tank top under my knee length teal kimono with black shorts underneath it cause you never can be too careful as a ninja.

"AAAAAHHHHH"

I suddenly heard a scream and thinking that it was Naruto I looked out the window to see what he did. And the first thing I saw was paint on the 4 hokage's faces. Then I saw Naruto on the ground by the cliff and assumed that's why he screamed. Realizing that I might be late I rushed downstairs grabbed an apple and stuffed it into my mouth so I could put my black ninja shoes on.

On my way to the academy I stopped by my mother's tea shop. Well she isn't my actual mother, but my foster mom. You see, my mom was never able to have kids and she always wanted a baby girl. And what do you know, I'm found on her doorstep left by some travelers that would stop by her shop.

"Good morning mother, how are you this morning?" I asked as I stepped into the shop.

"Hello dear I'm sorry I couldn't make breakfast for you, but there was a problem with the shipment of herbs." She answered. "But that's ok because I made you and Naruto lunch. And this time I do hope you actually give it to him and not drop it in his path or on him for that matter."

"I won't mom" I replied while taking the lunches out of her hand and made my way out of the shop.

Oh I guess I haven't told you who I am. Well I'm Minami Narashi. I'm an average girl with light brown hair and eyes with fair skin without any blemishes who just wants to live the easy life of a ninja. But that means I actually have to participate in classes and other activities and that just isn't me. Because I'm the type of girl who just wants to make her mother proud and do good for the village without being in the spotlight. I wasn't always like this. I used to be the most outgoing person until I realized how the others were. I was always used by my 'friends' who would then never talk to me again. Soon I realized that everyone would ignore me until they wanted something. So I just refused everyone and stayed to the shadows. Of course I would help the people who I would consider to be my friends little notes of advice to help them get by with only my initials as to any hint of who gave it to them. This small amount of people include Hinata Hyuga, Shikamaru Nara, Choji Akamichi, Kiba Inuzuki, Shino Aburame (as odd as that is), Sasuke Uchiha (who rarely talks more than one word now), and of course Naruto Uzumaki who I would especially consider a friend. But of course I never actually really talked to them in person unless I have to.

Suddenly I realized that I made it to the acamedy and quietly made my way to class. Once I got to class I heard Iruka-sensei telling the class that we all were going to redo our transformation jutsu because of Naruto. So when they got in line, I opened the door and automatically took the last place. The end. Which is fine with me because by the time it gets to me, its either lunch time or time for an actual lesson to start. In my case, it was lunch time. Which also means I have to give Naruto his lunch...in person. Ugh.

So I got the lunches and followed Naruto out of the school. I found him sitting on the swing away from everyone else looking down.

I built up all the confidence I had and walked to him.

"Here," I said and forced the lunch into his hands. To say he was surprised was an understatement. I guess nobody had talked to him in a while without any screaming or bullying.
