"We cannot tell the precise moment when friendship is formed. As in filling a vessel drop by drop, there is at last a drop which makes it run over; so in a series of kindnesses there is at last one which makes the heart run over." ― Ray Bradbury, Fahrenheit 451

High school ― the place where life lessons are taught more efficiently than actual education. It's always going to be a bumpy road, but that doesn't mean it can't be enjoyable. You only have to find the right kind of people to be with to be able to live in the moment. The right kind of friends, and you'll survive through this roller coaster ride. Open new doors, close others, keep others open, and others closed. A lot of 'hello's doesn't always equal to a lot of 'goodbye's. The moment passes, but the memories stay.

Ichariba Chode - "Though we meet but once, even by chance, we are friends for life."

---

A modern-set alternative universe where Konoha 11 (and Sasuke) are living their teenage lives as peacefully as one can whilst in high school. Friendship and bonds are as unavoidable as breathing, but so is romance. As they embark on their own journeys, they come to realize that they inevitably rely on one another to keep themselves upright and to keep moving forward; they inevitably move together as one and face tomorrow with renewed and newly-found strength.
