Sakura and I had been friends forever, literally. When we were little we were neighbors, still are, and became best friends. We'd been in the same class all through middle school and now in high school we'd both switched to Konoha Charter School. Over the summer before our freshmen year at our new school we'd finally gotten 'together' and that's how we intended to stay.
Deidara POV.
I walked through the gates of my new school keeping my head down. I was never the popular one and I was never particularly liked by people either so I tended to stay off to the side on my own or hang out with Sakura.
"Hey who's the new cutie?' someone asked as I walked by.
I ignored the catcalls and the stares as I made my way to the front office to get my class schedual.
The receptionist seemed nice enough she handed me a packet with my schedual on the front and I made my way silently to my locker and put in the code. It didn't open. I put the code in a few more times pulling ahrd on the door but it wouldn't budge.
"You have to kick it twice before it'll open." Came Sakura's voice over my shoulder.
She slammed her foot into the locker twice and it popped open easily. I glared at it breifly before turning and hugging Sakura.
"Thanks." I said flashig her a gratiouse smile.
"No prob." She said smiling widely.
"So have you made any friends yet?" I asked as I unloaded my books into my locker and got the ones I needed for class.
"Yeah I ran into this great group of people, right over there." She said pointing to a hyper blonde, a dark raven-haired boy with his arm protectively around the blonde's waist, a girl with long dark blue hair, and a girl with a very long blode ponytail.
"Good, I'm glad you made some friends." I said smiling. I was always worried about her not having friends, she didn't have many in middle school only Tenten and me.
"Come on I'll introduce you." She said slamming my locker and dragging me over to the group.
"Hey guys this is Deidara." She said enthusiastically.
"Hey I'm Naruto!" the hyper blonde yelled giving him a thumbs up and a huge smile.
The raven-haired boy grinnd at him then looked at me with a straight face. "This is Sasuke!" Naruto yelled earning another small grin from Sasuke.
"I'm Ino and this is Hinata." The blonde girl said pointing to the blue haired girl who's looked incredibly shy. She was obviously the popular one in the group.
I nodded and smiled slightly then looked down at my class schedule.
English. It was and had always been my favorite class and I was very happy I had it first hopefully the teacher was good.
"Oh my gosh I have that class first too!" Naruto yelled jumping up and down next to me. "Come on!" he yelled dragging me along behind him towards the English room.
The teacher looked up when we walked walked in then went back to reading.
"That's Kakashi-sensei." Naruto said slightly quieter than a yell, which surprised me.
Soon the room had filled considerably and pretty soon the only spot left was in the very back. I set my bag on the floor by the desk and sat down waiting for class to start.
"Sit down everybody." Kakashi said fifteen minutes into class putting his book down for the fist time.
As Kakashi was talking about their coming curriculum for the year the door opened and a red-haired boy walked in nonchalantly completely ignoring Kakashi and took his seat next to mine. I watched him out of the corner of my eye and saw him watching me, then quickly looked back down at my notebook and continued sketching for the duration of class.
The lunch bell rang and I walked to my locker quickly to avoid the redhead. He'd been in every class I had so far and he always managed to sit right next to me and it was starting to creep me out. I put in my code and kicked the door twice before exchanging my books and grabbing my lunch.
"How was class?" Sakura asked leaning against the locker next to mine.
"Fine. How about you?" I asked hanging my arm around her shoulders as we walked out into the courtyard to see Naruto jumping up and down on the other side yelling and screaming for us to come sit with them.
"Someone's happy to have a new friend." Sakura mumbled.
I laughed lightly and noticed the redhead out of the corner of my eye sit against the base of a tree joined soon after by a blonde girl with her hair up in four small ponytails and a boy with lightly brown hair. He watched me walk across the entire courtyard over to Naruto who continued yelling and screaming until we got to where he was jumping up and down.
"Calm down Naru." Sasuke said calmly from where he was leaning against the base of a large tree, much like the redhead had been doing.
Naruto settled next to Sasuke resting his head on his shoulder and eating his apple. Ino was chattering to Hinata about a shopping trip and when she saw Sakura she stole her from me and decided she was taking her with them shopping. I sat in the shade by Naruto and silently ate my sandwich.
I pushed the door to the art room open and set my bag on the floor by an empty table and settled on a stool pulling my notebook open.
"That's pretty who is it?" a calm voice said in my ear. I jumped and turned to see the redhead smiling at me before pulling out the stool across the table from me and pulling out his sketchbook.
I looked back down at my drawing and ignored him.
He was still waiting for an answer. He used his pencil to push my hair out of my eyes and look at me expectantly.
"Nobody." I mumbled pushing his pencil away from my face.
He pulled back and opened his sketchbook continuing to study me throughout class.
The final bell rang and I grabbed my back making my way through the busy hallway to my locker where Sakura was waiting.
"You walking or getting a ride?" she asked smiling.
"When have I ever gotten a ride Sakura?" I asked opening my locker and grabbing the books I would need for my homework."
"Good point. Want me to ask my mom to drop you off?" she asked.
"No thanks my dad would flip if he saw you dropping me off." I mumbled staring at the floor for a second before closing my locker and starting to make my way to the front door of the building.
Nobody knew anything about my dad and they never would if I had my way.
"You sure?" she asked wrapping her arm around my waist.
"I'm sure." I said.
I gave her a quick peck on the cheek before starting the long journey home.
I silently pushed the door open listening for any sounds. Silence.
I closed the door and ran to my room locking my door behind me.
My little homework went quickly and I'd already read ahead in my math and science books so I figured it was around time for bed. I laid on my bed and turned off my light closing my eyes happily.
Downstairs the front door bust open and I popped me eyes open. This was the last thing I needed.
I listened as his heavy footsteps came up the stairs and down the hallway stopping in font of my door.
"Open this door Deidara!" he yelled as his fist pounded on the door.
I slowly made my way to the door and unlocked it stepping back and opening it a crack to see my father standing with beer bottle in hand in the hall. He pushed the door open further and glared at me.
"Where's my dinner?" he asked.
I froze. That's what I'd forgotten. I kept my eyes down not saying anything.
He dragged me by my ponytail down the stairs to the kitchen and slammed me down on the floor then sat at the table watching me.
I got up slowly and opened the freezer staring into it. "What would you like for dinner father?" I chocked out as tears silently slid down my cheeks.
"Whatever's in front of your eyes." He grumbled taking another swig of his beer.
I grabbed a salmon burger and a pan and turned on the stove silently making him dinner.
I placed the plate on front of him and walked towards the stairs.
"Deidara!" he yelled after me. I turned and lingered in the doorway. "What's the rule?"
I glued my eyes to the floor letting my hair cover my face. "Always have dinner ready for you when you get home." I mumbled.
"Good. Now tomorrow I expect dinner to be ready when I get home." He said pushing me towards the stairs.
I landed hard slamming my back into the bottom stair and quickly ran up the stairs back to my room my head and back aching as I curled up in my small bed wishing for morning.
So as usual R&R let me know where you think i should go with the next few chapter i could use some ideas besides my own! :) sorry if i didn't catch all the spelling and grammar errors i tried.
