Summery: This story takes place in high school where Naruto is an outcast and Sasuke is popular. I'd give a better summery but I'm not good with summery's, sorry.

Now on with the story.


Chapter 1


Gaara sighed in annoyance as he walked down the hallway. Ignoring the navy lockers and all the doors the lined the hallway except for one, the detention room. It was 4:15 and he shouldn't have been in this hell hole they call school. He should be at home playing video games or, god forgive him, homework. Instead he was duty and waiting for his best friend to get out of detention.

Once he was at the detention room he waited ob the apposite side from the door in the hallway. He put his back to the lockers and slid down to sit on the floor. This was routine for the red head. At least three times a week he'd sir here waiting for that idiot to get out of detention. It was always for ..

A- Being tardy

B- Mouthing off to a teacher

or

C- Playing a prank on the principle

This time it was for choice A. Usually he's on time because his foster father drives him to school since he works here as a teacher. Some days though he likes to walk to school. Today's tardy wasn't really his fault, he can't help it that people like to start fights with him. And thus his reason for being late isn't his fault and nobody knew except Gaara. When Gaara's best friend arrived at first period he was bloodies and bruised. The teacher asked him for his excuse he told them that he didn't have one and therefore got detention. After that he went to the nurses office and Tsunade and Shizune cleaned him up and let him sleep. By the time he woke up it was 4th period.

While Gaara was recalling the days events the kids in detention were finally set free. Luckily school had started on a Wednesday this year since today was Thursday, they only have one day till the weekend.

In Gaara's Immediate line of site a pair of black sneakers came into view. From the sneakers Gaara looked up going to black pants with blue flames on them than to a light orange hoodie and finally a grinning face with spiky blonde hair.

"Hey, Gaara. Thanks for waiting for me, ready to go?" Naruto asked Gaara cheerfully, extending a hand to him.

Gaara glared at Naruto but took the hand he offered and stood up. Then he turned to leave the school and as he did Naruto jumped on his back and yelled " Piggy-back ride! " gleefully. Gaara smirked and kept on walking. Naruto was his only friend and Gaara was Naruto's only friend so he had a soft spot for the younger boy.

Out in the parking lot Naruto jumped of f Gaara's back once they reached his car and then got in it. Once Gaara was in the drive off towards Naruto's house.

" Hey, Naruto I'll give you a ride tomorrow so you can sleep in a bit. "

" Cool, thanks. Gaara your staying for dinner tonight right? "

" Yeah I wouldn't miss it since Iruka's new boyfriend is coming over " Gaara said with a mischievous glint in his eyes as he smirked.

Naruto knew what he was thinking. They were gong to embarrass the hell out of Iruka and pick on his boytoy. Both boys didn't have a problem with gay men. Gaara himself was gay but Naruto wasn't sure yet but he assumed he liked girls.

" Dinner should be ready by the time we get there so that means Iruka's boytoy should be there " Naruto grinned.


Iruka was finishing putting the food on the table when he heard the front door slam open and a happy yell " I'm home. "
Naruto ran to the dinning room and shrieked in surprise, Iruka was right in front of him and Naruto hit the breaks but socks and wood floors don't bode well. Next thing they knew there was a ball of limbs and two heads on the floor. Gaara just shook his head as he walked by them to take a seat at the dinner table.

"Oowww!"

"Naruto, get off of me"

"Sorry, Iruka. He he" As they stood up the door bell rang and Naruto dashed out of the room yelling "I'll get it."

"Naruto, don't run you'll probably sli-" Iruka was interrupted by a loud crash as Naruto ran into the door. Iruka just slapped his forehead as he sighed "That boy will never learn."

A few minutes later Naruto walked back into the dinning room, a hand on his head as he cringed in pain. A man with silver hair and a patch over his left eye walked in after Naruto.

"Kakashi you made it" Iruka said happily.

Naruto just pouted and sat next to Gaara who looked disappointed.

"Damn, we can't pick on him he's one of our teachers" Gaara complained.

"Yup" Naruto said unhappily than smiled wide and yelled "Let's eat, I'm starving"

"Naruto?"

"Yeah, Kakashi?"

"Why are you and Gaara here?"

Naruto looked over to Gaara then to Iruka then finally back at Kakashi "Well Gaara's my best friend and I live here since Iruka is my foster father."

" Ohh, I never knew that, I have a foster son too." Kakashi said absentmindedly.

Naruto just shrugged and repeated "Let's eat!"
