Itachi walked down the hall, heading straight to his locker. When he arrived at his destination, he shut his eyes and let out a sigh.

His locker had been spray painted. Again.

He quickly dialed in the combination, grabbing his books and shutting the locker as quickly as he could, eyes looking over the new barrage of insults. He was used to this, and the words didn’t really bother him all that much anymore. The poor spelling of the vandals, however, did. He was tempted to take out a marker and make a few corrections, but that would only encourage them. He shook his head and walked away, hoping the janitor would take care of the problem soon.

To Itachi, every class was exactly the same. The only difference was what the teacher’s were going on and on about. He spent most of his time staring out the window, waiting for the bell to ring and signal that his torture was that much closer to being over-

“Mr. Uchiha!” The weasel turned to look at the front of the class, staring at his teacher. “I’m hoping that you found the answer to this problem outside that window, because you’re going to tell the class what the solution to this equation is!”

Itachi looked at the board for a grand total of five seconds before saying, “X equals all real numbers.”

“Incorrect,” the teacher said, a smug smile on his face. “X equals three.”

Rolling his eyes, Itachi rose to his feet and walked to the front of the room, grabbing the chalk out of his teacher’s hand and writing the equation on the board, step by step. When he stepped away from the work, it showed that he had been right. The teacher had made an error in the first step of the problem.

“…It appears you are correct, Mr. Uchiha,” the man spat out. “Tell me, would you prefer to be the one who stands up here and teaches the lessons, since you can apparently do them so much better than I?”

“Hn,” Itachi replied, shuffling back to his seat, trying to ignore the comments the other kids were making.

“Showoff.”

“Why does he even show up if he knows this stuff? He should just stay home.”

“It figures he’s smart. After all, he got away with murder.”

The last comment made Itachi clench his teeth, hands balling into fists. Somehow, he was able to keep his temper in check, and merely sat back down in his seat, eyes looking out the window once more.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Itachi wouldn’t say that he looked forward to lunch, but it was probably the only period he didn’t dread. The reason for that was new kid named Kisame.

Kisame was the only semi-tolerable teen in this whole accursed place. He didn’t ramble on and on like some people did, and he didn’t bother the weasel too much. An occasional question here and there, maybe a statement that was a bit odd, but that was it.

Itachi wasn’t sure what he considered Kisame to be. Maybe not a friend; but he definitely wasn’t one of those people that Itachi could shove to the back of his mind and block out. Overall, he liked the shark. That was about all he could say for now.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“Hey, you.”

Itachi inwardly rolled his eyes as he shut his locker and turned to see the six teens surrounding him. Their leader, a kid name Suzu, walked forward, smiling at the Uchiha. “Did you enjoy the little message we wrote you earlier?” he asked, grinning.

“No. You’re spelling’s atrocious,” Itachi said, hoping to shock the teen long enough to escape.

Suzu, however, was unfazed as he stepped towards the Uchiha. “Sorry about that. Next time we call you a fag, we’ll be sure to double check the spelling. That better?”

“Hn,” Itachi said, trying to run out of the circle, only to be held in place by two cronies. Suzu cracked his knuckles and punched the Uchiha in the gut, making Itachi slump forward. The weasel was practically seeing red. Suzu knew that in a one-on-one fight, Itachi could take him, so he had his peons hold the Uchiha in place. Coward.

“What’s wrong?” Suzu asked, tilting the weasel’s head up to look at him. “Can’t fight back?” And at that moment, Suzu made a crucial mistake.

He assumed that Itachi was above biting him.

“OWW!” he screamed as the weasel’s teeth dug into his wrist. “Let go of me, you freak!” he yelled, slamming his free fist into the weasel’s head over and over again.

Itachi ignored the command and scraped his lower canines over Suzu’s wrist, nicking the vein. One he tasted blood in his mouth, he released the teen, watching as he stumbled back, eyes wide in shock. “I’m bleeding!” He screamed, face paling.

Itachi spat the blood in his mouth in the eyes of one crony, before kicking the other in the gut. He immediately bolted down the hall, determined to get away from them before Suzu recovered.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Itachi stumbled into his room, still slightly out of breath. He’d learned from past experience that Suzu and his gang would follow him all the way home, so he hadn’t stopped until he’d hit his doorstep. He’d arrived home to find an empty house as usual. No surprise. He really doubted his parents even wanted to come home anymore.

He shut the door to his room, locking it more out of habit than actually wanting privacy. His parents and brother rarely came into his room anymore, unless they absolutely had to.

The Uchiha walked into his bathroom and pulled out a bottle of painkillers, frowning when he noticed that several pills were gone. His mother must have been raiding his medicine cabinet again. The woman was always complaining about a headache, or a toothache, or something else hurting, so she absolutely had to have Itachi’s painkillers instead of using her own. He swallowed two capsules, then exited the room, medicine bottle still in his hands.

The Uchiha set the medicine bottle on his bedside table, before opening the table’s drawer and pulling out a ratty old notebook. It was his List for Living.

Itachi had actually taken the trouble of writing down the pros and cons of his life, each in their own separate columns. The first dozen or so pages were full of things that had been crossed out on both lists. It was only when he hit the middle of the notebook that Itachi’s thoughts were brought up to date.

Right now, the list of cons was much longer than the pros. In fact, the only pro he had was “I could actually do something with my life if I wanted to.” Time to fix that.

Pulling a pen out of his drawer, Itachi wrote down, “May have made a friend named Kisame.” Two pros. Itachi had to smile for a quick instant before replacing the pen and notebook and shutting the drawer. He stretched out on his bed, staring up at the ceiling. He probably needed to eat dinner soon, but he wasn’t very hungry. Then again, when was he?

Itachi sat up and rose from the bed, deciding he may as well he. He needed to add that to his list; he had a tiny appetite, so he’d never have to worry about getting fat. That would be three things on his list. Three things to help him get through another day.

Itachi couldn’t help but think that if the pro list ever got down to zero, he might die.
now i remember why i didn't write this earlier. writing emo stuff makes me emo!

well, i hope you people like this. i do, but it bothers me to make people act like this. and this thing is hitting a little too close to home; itachi's attitude and opinions on life are really close to my own...oh well. please read and comment.
