Not So Typical (under revision)

Chapter One

Naruto woke that morning with absolutely nothing on his mind. His mentality just a blank void, a nothingness that seemed to go on the longer he just laid there after his eyes reluctantly peeled open staring at the off white color of his ceiling in his room. Most nights he had nightmares, only last night's sleep was completely dreamless. Nothingness, just as his thoughts were and the quiet of the empty house did not help. Glancing at the clock to his right on the bedside table, the blonde sighed. He had over slept once again due to staying up half the night doing nothing but staring at his ceiling as he was now. The sun was already quarter of the way across the sky and the birds were obnoxious as they always were. How rude of them, to be screeching so loudly but not enough to at least wake him on time? Groaning he rubbed his blue eyes and tried to get used to the sun coming in through his window next to his bed which seemed bent on blinding him. Naruto was always late to school so being late wasn't really a big deal at all to him anymore. It's not like anyone in particular really cared at all, no parents there to rush him out the door.

"Stupid sun, stupid school." Naruto grumbled getting out from under his warm comfortable sheets and blankets to grab his clothes and head to shower. It was 7:15 now and school started at 8:00. He had time, only he always stayed in the shower longer than he meant to meaning he really didn't end up having the time.

By the time Naruto was ready for school it was 7:50. He might not be late after all if he skipped breakfast. Sighing he grabbed his school bag and marched off out the door. He was wearing orange skinny jeans, a black shirt, his necklace and his black bandanna he always wore on his forehead to hold his bangs out of his eyes. Sometimes he wondered how he looked to other people, but then he remembers that no one really cares at all. So why should he? It's not like his friends seemed to mind and no one really said much about it. So what was there to really be worried about.

The walk to school was quiet other than the screeching birds and it sort of lifted his spirits. The fresh air was nice and the walk woke him up the rest of the way the shower hadn't. Finally he rounded the corner of the sidewalk, crossing the street quickly in the front of the school. The lawn was packed with people moving around and finding their friends before the bell. Naruto sighed to himself and plastered a smile on his face, this already felt like it was going to be a long day with the tiredness of his eyes and the pressure behind them due to the lack of sleep.

"Naruto? Hey you're not horribly late for once. You alright?" Naruto's best friend Kiba asked as the blonde walked in through the double glass doors of school. Kiba walked over to fall into step with Naruto as they moved towards his locker to put his things away. Kiba wasn't used to seeing Naruto before the final bell. This was new and it worried him a little that Naruto was suddenly acting differently with everything that had been going on. 

"Yeah, a miracle I know." Naruto joked with a half smile while entering his combo for his locker and tossing his bag inside it. He hated this hell hole he was forced to go to everyday. He just wished he could do something important with his time instead of learning things he would never need to know. Naruto needed to feel like his life made a difference and school was just not doing that for him. 

"No notes on the locker yet? Man it's a good day for you finally." Shikamaru said while he walked by, ruffling Naruto's hair as he passed. Naruto glared at his other friend but said nothing as Shikamaru disappeared into his classroom."Anyway unless you want to loose your streak of luck...let's go to class before we really are late." Kiba said dragging Naruto to English with him.

"Hey class! Sorry I'm late. You see I had to help this..."The class rolled their eyes at their teacher Kakashi. He was always late and came with a lame excuse. Though none of them would have it any other way. "Alright yeah I know it's pointless. Oh, Naruto even beat me here today?"
