Chapter 1: The Coming
Gaara POV
A long sigh escapes from my lips. The first day of a new school… and of course having to go through the awkwardness of the new kid. It didn't really matter to me… I don't really like interacting with most people. Humans are rather selfish creatures, and god forbid that they help someone who isn't them. I roll my eyes at the thought, "Honest to god… or whatever." I look around my room, its simple, wooden furniture and black clothes. I look into my closet, trying to decide what to pick to wear to school. I don't understand why I have to go… its not like I need it. I grab some black skinny jeans, a fishnet shirt and a black t-shirt from my closet. I take my clothes, walking calmly to the bathroom. I look down the hall, no one seems to be home but me… probably were out partying and crashed there.
I step into the shower, letting the warm water rush over me. I let my red hair stick to my forehead, not bothering to brush it off. I sigh again, "I wonder what its going to be like… this school…" I run my hands over my soft, smooth pale skin as I wash. Stepping calmly out of the shower, I wrap a towel around my slim waist. I've always been skinny… it's a curse of sorts, seeing as some seem to think I look to girlish. I put on my clothes and grab my black bag with skulls on it before heading out the door, it's a cool, crisp day outside. The leaves are begging to change, but I don't really care. The school is pretty close to where we live so I have to walk. The school looks pretty small, nothing like where I went before. I hear a loud bell ring… its really annoying. Guess that means its time for my first class. I look at the paper with my schedule on it… hmm… Advanced Biology.
Naruto POV
I'm late, I'm late, I'm late!!! I overslept, my teacher is gonna kill me. This is the fifth time this semester I've been late… and schools only been in for a month! I rush through the school, my backpack swinging wildly as it desperately clings to my shoulder with an orange t-shirt on. My dark cargo pants and dark shoes move swiftly as I try and make it before the witch closes the door and doesn't let me in. I hit something hard, falling forward on it. I hear a loud thump and a desperate cry as we hit the ground. I open my ocean blue eyes to see pale green and red hair. It reminds me of x-mas in a way… I shake my head, darting up. I yell, "Sorry!" as I run to Advanced Bio with Shizune. I smile, seeing the teacher not in the room yet. I look at Sakura, my best friend since forever waving at me. "Your safe Naruto," she says, her pink hair cut shorter than usual. I smile, hearing a voice from behind me. "Yes… but just barely." I look behind me, my tanned skin feeling cold. Shizune is standing right behind me, staring blankly. "Take your seat Mr. Uzumaki…" she says, writing something on the board. I sigh, taking the empty seat near the back. I look at what the teacher is writing… it seems to be a name. She waves to something outside the door… a young man walking in. He's wearing all black… but he's got red hair and green eyes. My eyes widened in shock… oh shit… it's the kid I knocked down! I look at him fully now… he's kinda cute, pale skin and a slight form. I shake my head, trying to get rid of those thoughts. He's a dude, so are you so stop it. I look back at him… trying not to smile but I can't help it. He looks at me out of everyone, his eyes cold and lifeless with an expressionless look on his face. "Class… this is Gaara Suna, he's joining our school today," Shizune says, "Why don't you tell the class a little bit about yourself. The cute boy nods, opening his mouth. His voice is calm and pleasant sounding, "I'm Gaara Suna," he says, "and I'm 16." I sigh, smiling like an angel had just come from above just for me. I have this feeling in the pit of my stomach, it feels so odd but so right. No, get this out of you head… your straight. I pound my hand against my head, probably looking like a total spaz. Shizune points Gaara to sit in front of me… shit, now I won't be able to concentrate during class. But… I think I'm okay with that. I bite my lip, trying to get rid of these thoughts, but they won't go away. I wonder…
