Smile, that's all they want to see on your face. "I'm fine" is what they all want to here but who really cares about you? About what you hide behind that bright smile. About the story behind "I'm fine".
Just smile and they'll leave you alone. Mayb...
"Congratulations Suki, you passed!" Iruka-sensei cheered for me while clapping his hands. "Thanks sensei" I said exiting the academy to see Naruto sitting on the swings sad and depressed.
I only been in the leaf for few weeks now and been keeping low tabs on Naruto. He isn't a monster so I don't see why everyone treat him like one.
Walking up to him I tap his shoulder getting his attention "hey...." I said awkwardly as he crunched his eyebrows together making a confused look. "Suki?" He questioned my name.
Before I could say anything a hand pulled me backwards away from him "Suki why are you talking to Naruto!" "Yeah! He's a freak just look at him!" Ino and Sakura yelled pointing at him.
"I don't think he's that bad" I said out loud as they made a horrified face. "What's wrong with you! Look at him, he failed the test! He's so weak" with that said Naruto began to cry. I didn't say anything but smile gently.
"Yeah he's weak, a fucking pathetic failure!, he's not worth it" I spat clutching my hand into a fits trying not to cry. Looking back at Naruto his eye was wide open with tears coming down and began to walk away with betrayal written in his eyes.
"Uh guys? I have to go home, I'll see you later" I told Ino and Sakura waving off. "Bye Suki-chan! I hope I get to be on your team and not forehead!" Ino yelled as Sakura pushed her yelling "Yeah bye Suki-chan I hope you get to be on my team! And not Ino-pig".
They then began to fight and I let out a chuckle walking away. As soon as I was far away from those two I thought about what I said to Naruto. "Weak, pathetic, not worth it, the same words I tell myself every night" I said out loud feeling the tears trail down from my eyes to my chin.
Walking is away I walked towards my apartment whipping my eyes. "Suki?! What's wrong?" My mom called out pulling me inside. I smiled laughing "I just fell down that's all" I lied chuckling.
My mom rolled her eyes closing the door as my dad enter the kitchen. "Why can't you be like your older sister Yuno? She have good grades compared to you" he said reading his news paper. Not saying anything I walked upstairs into my room locking the door.
Falling on the ground I began to cry. "Why can't I be smart?! Look at Sakura she's so smart!! Why can't I be pretty as Ino?! I can't do anything!!!?" I cried covering my mouth so my family couldn't hear my sobbing.

I got a headache from crying and laid down letting the darkness take over.
>> Next morning "Hey loser! Wake up you'll be late to the academy!" My sister yelled strapping her weapons on. "I'll be gone for a few day on a mission see ya" she getting ready to leave. I grabbed her hand pulling her down to my height.
"When you come back... Can we hang out like old time?" I asked making a puppy face. "Sure thing idiot" she said ruffling my hair. "Promise?" I asked sticking my pinky finger up as she stuck her up and locked it with me "I promise".
She then ruffed my hair leaving. I smiled walking downstairs to the kitchen to see my dad sitting down reading "Suki you better now ruin the gore family!" He yelled at me as I nod. "Your the youngest so you better follow in your sister footsteps" he said picking up the toast.
"Now go before you miss the academy" he warned pointing at the door as I ran out. 'But what if I want to do things my own way? You guys look down on me just because I'm the youngest...' I thought entering the academy to see Naruto kissing Sasuke.
"Wow... I wonder how Ino and Sakura feel about this" I said out loud seeing them getting ready to beat up Naruto. Before Sakura could punch him I grabbed her fist smiling. "Sakura-chan" I said softly smiling.
She glared at me and turned around not looking at me. Soon Ino and the rest of the girls began to shun me. "What did I do?" I asked her as Ino pushed me to ground.
"I saw Sasuke looking at you! Rumors said that you like Sasuke!" Sakura yelled at me. "Yeah! Suki, your supposed to be our friend" Ino said making a sad face.
"But I guess...." She began to trail off and looked at Sakura as they both nod. "Your our new rival too" Sakura said pointing at me. She then threw the bracelet I made for her at me and walked away.
I got up smiling brushing everything off and took my bracelet. "Best friends are supposed to believe in them and not some silly rumors! But I guess your just a fake friend Sakura! I fucking hate you!" I swore braking the bracelet and throw it towards her.
'Everytime I give someone my trust they show me why I shouldn't' I thought sitting next by Hinata and gived her a close eye smile.
