Life is Life

Wake Up

Last night when I walked in the house my parents were to busy arguing to notice my presence. It was the money fight which turned into the I hate you fight which turned into I want a divorce and then my mom goes in her room and they never get a divorce.

I always wonder whenever they're arguing if my neighbors can hear because that would be, one supper embarrassing but also not surprising at all. I usually just sit in my room at my desk looking at things on my phone while music blasts in my earphones, occasionally if the fight is really bad my mom will start walking, maybe drive to her moms, or throw a phone through the cheap doors we have. Its crazy how strong she gets when shes angry but also, she gets angry so easily and fast that it makes me want to die. Sometimes I can't even joke because she gets so pissed.

I didn't go to bed till late and I'm sure my dad either slept on the couch or they both slept in the room. They didn't shut up until midnight so I didn't sleep until around 2 in the morning. I'm tired, I don't want to get up at 10, maybe I wont. Sasuke will probably understand, he probably doesn't think I'll get up anyway. I closed my eyes, sleep came sooner than I thought. Told you I was tired.

I was slowly waking up, not sure what time it is but I was in that state where my eyes want to open but my body wont move. So I close my eyes again and drift off to sleep.

A loud bang caused me to open my eyes the noise came from the kitchen but the mysterious person sitting at my desk was, scaring me. Is this a dream? Nope defiently not a dream. I sat up and got a better look at the person my curtains are shut so only a little amount of light is in the room.

"It's past 10" Oh, its Sasuke.

"How or why are you in my room?" I definitely sound tired, I got up from the bed and walked to my closet I pulled out an orange shirt and put it on.

"You said you would be ready at 10, yet your mom said you were still sleeping when I got here at 10. Why do you sleep all day" Well I did say I would be ready and here I am, not ready so I guess I can see why he would be mad.

"I'll go get ready" Sasuke nodded his head and watched as I left the room and walked to the bathroom.

I took a quick shower and quickly brushed my teeth, I kept the orange shirt I had on but put on a black long sleeve shirt under it, its really cold out. Or maybe it's just cold in here. I dried my hair off and walked back into my room. Sasuke was still at the desk only this time he was looking at my homework.

"What are you doing?" I walked over and grabbed my homework, he had a pencil out and was correcting my homework.

"Surprisingly all your history homework is right, not so surprising you suck at writing" I glared, see I dont like people looking at my work, making me feel dumb. I don't even bring up my papers when the teacher says I'll look at it now so you can fix it, I usually get away with an 80. I don't like feeling stupid and I don't like teachers knowing I'm stupid. Okay teachers are one thing, Sasuke is a whole other thing.

"I'm not stupid" I probably sound like a young child having a fighting with another child, whatever.

"I can help you, its not bad writing just alot of common mistakes" Sasuke tried to grab the paper out of my hand but I pulled it away. I don't need his help, I'm not failing.

"No, lets just go" Sasuke noddd his head and got up from the chair, he pushed it in and we walked down stairs. I slipped on my shoes, hat and jacket.

"Are you leaving?" My mom asked, this is the first time she talked to me since the other day.

"Yeah, we have a project" I said, she nodded her head and smiled. I love my mom don't get me wrong, but what would it be like if she loved herself?

"Alright have fun and be safe!" She turned to Sasuke "it was nice meeting you Sasuke"

Sasuke smiled and said the same thing back. My dad must've been in the kitchen he doesn't really care about anything. Ever.

"Bye!" I shouted and walked out the door. It's cold outside but not all that cold. I want my hat on but I don't need it.

I turned to Sasuke and waited for him to say something. Like where we're going.

"I think, we go this way" Sasuke pointed to the right. Okay, if we get lost we get lost, whatever.

We started walking down the side walk, we didn't bring anything but our phones.

"What are we doing?" I asked I'm not as excited as I should be more nervous and once again even if I take this seriously, Sasuke probably won't.

"Well, since I don't know anything about you, I figured we could walk around and see if anything seems, fun?" I nodded. There isn't really much to do around here and we'll Sasuke doesn't know anything about me. But he knows I'm not good at writing.

"I could help you with your homework." I shook my head I would ask Shikamaru before I ever asked Sasuke.

"No I don't need help. I'm passing all my classes I'm fine"

"But you could be doing better, I mean you're not bad at writing. But"

"But I'm not good" I don't need Sasuke to tell me I'm not good at school, I already know this.

"Yeah you're not good" it's this brutal honesty that makes me wonder.

"Anyway! How's it going?" I like changing the topic.

"It's pretty good, could be better." Sasuke looked at me "it's cold in your house"

Wonderful. I wonder if it's all that noticeable I didn't think it was maybe I'm used to it? It doesn't feel that much different than outside though.

"Really?" I'll act like I don't know.

"Yeah, I mean it wasn't all that cold. But definitely not warm" I can tell the difference. Sasuke can tell the difference? How long was he there.

I looked down at my phone. It's 1:30!

"How long were you waiting for me!" I didn't know I slept till 1 in the afternoon!

"Since 10" why didn't he just wake me up.

"I'm sorry! I didn't know that, I thought it was 11 or something" now I feel really bad, no wonder he could tell.

"I tried to wake you up, you actually did sit up but then you fell asleep again." Yeah I've been told I do that.

"I'm sorry Sasuke! I'll set an alarm next time" I held up my hand as if to make an oath.

"So there will be a next time? You can plan it"

My face started to heat and for once I was no longer cold, we just kept walking and I didn't even notice, we were practically at the end of the town!

"Sasuke, where are we going?" Sasuke grabbed my hand and held it.

"See were far enough that I can hold your hand. No ones around here" I mean he's not wrong. But are we just going to stand out here?

"Now. We can take the long way back to my house and eat something." What was the point of this!

"Why did we come out here?" Sasuke looked at me I think this is the first time he didn't glare.

"To talk, Why is it so cold in your house?"

"We could've talked at your house" Sasuke shook his head.

"No we always talk about myself there, the outside is for you." Does that make any sense. Maybe to Sasuke. I mean he's not stupid. He's the top of our class not that rank matters that much.

My hands are starting to sweat and it's because I'm thinking about the boy right next to me.

"Tell me about yourself"
