Naruto walked down the empty halls lunch was a time for everyone to have fun and eat, let out some noise before the following classes.
But for Naruto lunch seemed to be a time for him to sit in his seat and listen to others talk. At least today it did. Sasuke doesn't talk much not in school anyway.
During lunch Sasuke just sits next to Naruto and eats, nothing special pretty boring.Naruto wasn't worried about anything he had job searching to think about, today so far wasn't the worst for him. He has Sai now which is good. He has been thinking about a way to get near Neji. But Neji is never around.
Naruto followed the lockers all the way down the the middle school wing. Nothing but empty halls and pencils all over the floor.
The lockers all look the same, the only difference was some had more dents and others had more paint chipping away. It's a nice school, but they could use a little upgrade in some departments. He pushed open the old door that lead to the roof.
Naruto being new to this school didn't know about this until he caught a couple going up here to make out. His new discovery was wonderful and since then hes been going up here whenever he feels like it.
He wasn't expecting see another person up here, the boy was young maybe 15 or 16 probably a freshman. Naruto walked over to the brown haired boy and stood next to him.
"Hi" Naruto smiled at the boy, he was dressed in a dark blue sweatshirt, black jeans and some black and white sneakers.
"What do you want?" The boy hissed his cheeks flushing red he was uncomfortable.
"What are you doing out here?" Naruto couldn't help but talk to the young boy, he had to be a freshman. He just looked so lost maybe even sad, and Naruto was bored.
"Sitting" Naruto couldn't stop the small chuckle that escape his mouth. This kid.
"You're a basketball player right" Naruto looked at the brown haired boy, he's definitely seen him playing basketball while he waited for Sasuke to finish up practice once or twice.
"Yeah, so what"
"Why aren't you sitting with your friends, surely the basketball star has friends" Naruto smiled as he sat on the ground next to the nameless boy.
"My friends are annoying and I have no desire to sit with them" Naruto thought about the way the boy talks, reminds him of Sasuke a bit.
"What's your name?"
The brown haired boy turned to Naruto and looked at him "Konohamaru"
Konohamaru wondered why a senior was talking to him a freshman. He was just looking for some alone time. Now he has this happy blonde next to him and he just keeps asking questions.
"Well Konohamaru I am also avoiding my friends"
Konohamaru looked at Naruto with amusement and then anger "I'm only avoiding my friends because they think I'm going to buy them everything"
Naruto looked at Konohamaru his eyes widened with this new information this boy also had money. Like Sasuke. "What?" Naruto asked.
The brown haired boy sighed "my friends aren't my friends they like my money. They think I'm some kind of ATM"
Naruto was surprised to hear, this boy just kept reminding him more and more of Sasuke. Konohamaru. Konohamaru Sarutobi? That's who this is. The Mayors son.
"Your dad is the Mayor?" Naruto asked
"My grandpa, my dad is dead I live with my uncle" Konohamaru got up from his place on the ground.
"I should get back before my pals start to think I've ditched them" Konohamaru muttered standing up he wanted to get away from the blonde boy, he didn't want to answer anymore questions.
Naruto quickly got up with the boy "Wait! Why don't you hangout with my friends after school"
Konohamaru looked skeptical but he nodded his head anyway. As for why Naruto did that. He sees something in this boy and helping him will keep Naruto busy. He needs something to keep him busy and if he can help this kid in anyway, that's also a plus.
"I'll meet you by the main doors after school!" Naruto smiled and they parted ways.
Naruto sat on the roof by himself for a bit, his mind was at peace as of right now that might change later. It might, but right now he'll breathe in the peace and smile to no one.
Naruto got back to the lunch room and sat down next to Sasuke.
"Where were you?" Naruto smiled at Sasuke. Was he worried? That would be nothing new everyone is worried about Naruto.
"I was with this boy he's really nice and hanging out with us after school" Sasuke put his sandwich down his eyes flashing anger and uncertainty.
"Who?" Sasuke demanded, its not like Naruto would cheat on Sasuke so there was really no reason for him to get all worked up. But Naruto secretly liked it. He smiled to himself.
"Just some lonely freshman, he's cool. Be nice" Naruto grinned at Sasuke and poked his cheek. Sasuke rolled his eyes and went back to eating.
"Why aren't you eating?" Sasuke asked Naruto he pulled out a bag of chips and gave them to the blonde. "Here, eat" Sasuke swears, he never see's Naruto eat. He does, he has to but he just never sees him with food.
Naruto huffed but opened the bag, Sasuke and Narutos other friends were like his mom sometimes. But not all the time, Naruto appreciated that they were worried about him. He just doesn't want to come off as some kind of ticking tome bomb that's going to explode if someone doesn't do something for him.
Still he appreciates the thoughts and concerns his friends have for him. Sometimes they will call him at night, sometimes they will just randomly text him. Like actually friends do, he likes it. But he can't get the thoughts out his head that are always telling him.
They wouldn't be doing that if he didn't try to end his life.
Naruto loved when Sasuke called him before he went to bed, he loved when he always asks if he's alright. But then that thought comes to his mind. Would Sasuke be doing that if he didn't try to kill himself? Would his friends ever call him and ask him hows he doing? Probably not.
He ignores the thoughts because it shouldn't matter. This is his life now. He knows Sasuke loves him. He knows all his friends care about him just like he cares about them.
Naruto finished his chips as the bell rang and walked to class with everyone else. The halls crowded with kids very quickly and he squeezed his way to the stairs just in time to avoid the 6th graders running through the halls for lunch.
