✧Sasuke✧

One more class I said, I can make it through I said. What the hell was I thinking? I should have just went to dad's office and asked him if I could have gone home. I'm sure he would have been able to notice that I wasn't feeling good. I can never really hide it. Thank god there's only ten minutes left and then I can go home and lay down. Why hasn’t this nauseous feeling and light-headed feeling gone away? Even during my study hall it was with that Toshiro kid he went with me to get something to eat from the vending machine and also got me a sandwich from the cafeteria and even went and laid down for a bit at the nurse's office, but still, it didn't help. Whhhhhhyyyyyyyyyyyy. Sighing quietly to myself I watch the clock as we already finished what we were doing and don’t actually have any homework since it’s the first day of school. The final bell rings and even though I’m the closest to the door I’m the last one to stand up with my stuff.

Mr. Miller my math teacher walked over to me and I smiled weakly at him. “You look terrible,” He chuckled putting his hands on his hips.

“Yeah, I haven’t been feeling all that well for the past few hours,” I answer him honestly.

"I can tell, but are least you were able to still pay attention even when you don't feel well, unlike some people in the class," He sighed but his smile came back, “Get some rest Sasuke,” Mr. Miller said slapping my back a bit.

"I will Mr. Miller. You have a good day," I smile a little at him and then head out of the room and to the right to get back to my locker. Quickly doing my combination I put my math book away and grab my bag. I didn't have to bring anything home with me today which makes it all the better, but just in case I'm taking my bag home with me. Closing my locker I adjust my bag so it's on both shoulders and then go to one of the side doors of the school and walk out. These particular set of doors looks at the dorms that are on the school grounds. "Do I go…or not go…" I muttered to myself, "With how today is going…meh, I'll just go home." I shrug and head towards the entrance to the school. Naturally, you can't go through the first day of school without a fight breaking out somewhere. The obvious older kids picking on the new kids to the school. Freshman, junior, doesn't matter, someone will start a fight. And sure enough, there was a circle yelling fight over and over again around a couple of kids. I sigh slightly. Just once can we not have a fight happen on the first day of school and just have a peaceful day. I guess I should go see what’s going on and see if I should step in. Jogging was a mistake but I take a couple of deep breaths to calm my stomach and then push through the crowd to see what exactly was going on. My eyes widen when I see who’s in the center. Toshiro? What the literal hell are you doing? Why do you look so calm? Who’s this kid who’s trying to fight with you? Is he new here too?

"What's going on?" I ask the kid standing next to me.

"That kid with the white hair just couldn't take the insults from Sean," He explained.

When I look back to the fight Toshiro was on the ground and Sean brought his foot back to kick him. Wait…Sean…but I thought that he left the town when we were in middle school. When did he get back? Why didn’t he tell me? I have to stop him. I couldn't take it anymore, I charge into the circle and block Sean's next kick by sticking out my foot and letting his swing hit the bottom of my foot. Damn, that hurts. Why was he swinging his foot at full force like that? Why is he trying to hurt Toshiro? The bottom of my foot tingling I look up at him.

Sean’s taller than me now. Well, he’s pretty much always been taller until about the end of elementary when I was just two inches taller. Compared to my five foot seven inches I was to say he’s got at least two or three inches on me now. His raven black hair was pulled back into a small ponytail and his bangs swoop over to the left side so that they weren't in his chestnut brown eyes. He looks stronger. He has muscle showing in his arms and his torso looked thicker, stronger than when I saw him when we were younger. But, that's what happens when you grow up. He didn't have his glasses anymore so he's either wearing contacts or his eye caught up with him and he didn't need them anymore. Maybe it's his eyes caught up with his option. I don't see him as one to really wear contacts if he doesn't have to.

"Get out of the way kid unless you want to get a pounding too," Sean's taunt didn't faze me, but the fact that he called me kid and not by my name... Does he not recognize me? I haven’t changed that much have I?

"You know I've never been one for fights, especially if one of my friends is involved," Even though I get in at least two or three a year. Did he even remember me? What the hell has gotten into him?

"Really and what is a little twerp like you going to do about it?" He asked grabbing my shirt collar and lifting me off the ground. "Not so tough now are you?" He asked. It was like what I said completely went over the top of his head.

"You know it's pretty pathetic that you've resorted to this Sean," I sigh a bit looking down at him, "You're just acting like a child who's looking for attention, why don't you grow up."

Sean threw me to the ground then swiftly kicked me in the mouth. I covered my mouth and felt a warm liquid seeping through my lips and onto my hand. I removed my hand from my mouth to see blood.

"Sasuke are you alright?" Toshiro asked helping me up.

"Yea I'm fine," I told him getting up onto my right hand that wasn’t covered in blood.

"Don't you two look good together just like a gay couple," Sean laughed making everyone around us laugh.

I clenched my fist and the blood ran down my arm, "What gives you the right to say anything?" I stood up facing Sean head-on, "Sean will you wake up damn it! This isn’t you. Do you even remember who I am? We were friends. What the hell has happened to you?” I holler at him and without even thinking I thrust my clench fist forward and sock Sean square in the face.

Stumbling back he touched his nose a few times, "The little bastard punched me," He muttered probably more so to himself.

"And you deserve a hell of a lot more," I hiss at him and then turn to that crowd, "This fight's over now everyone gets lost!”

"Sasuke watch out!" Toshiro shouted and I swung my leg around and kicked Sean right in the gut. It wasn’t like I was sitting on my butt all these years my father made me take karate so I could defend myself.

Sean stumbled back from the impact again and this time there was a small flame on his shirt where I kicked him. My eyes grew as people were freaking out about the small fire I grabbed my bag and Toshiro's wrist and hulled ass out of the circle. As I pulled Toshiro along it felt like icicles were traveling up my arm and spreading through my body. I gripped on tighter and just kept pushing forward. I pulled us all the way to the other side of the school before I let go of his wrist.
