My Red Headed God

March 16th 8:45 am

Today my heart stopped beating…and I couldn't breathe; my body shutdown. The only trigger had to be him, the new exchange student from Suna High. Every time I see him…I see him as my red headed god. I know it's cheesy but I freeze up like a lovesick school girl when he's in the room.

Lee looked up from his journal and saw Sasuke walking towards him. Closing his small black journal he muttered a quiet greeting. The thin, long boy in a green tee shirt and jeans slid the book into his book bag. "So Sasuke, how are things with you and Naruto-kun?" he asked in a quiet tone.

"Fine, why?" Sasuke said with shock written on his pale face. You could tell that the question irritated him. Lee looked down and a small pink blush slid across his face.

"I...I...I just want to know," Lee said like a small child being punished. His heart was racing. "Well mostly because I like this gu…girl," Lee caught himself, "who seems way out of my league." Lee was now very red and his heart was throwing its self agents his chest. There was a long, awkward silence and he felt horrible. Thoughts racing in his head caused him to freeze, and then the silence was broken.

"Lee, I have to go. We'll talk later." then the tall, raven haired boy left. "Come by my place later or some thing." he called over his shoulder. Lee's eyes widened, Dose he know!? God that would suck if he knew I was gay...He pondered this as he walked down the halls, that along with rather indecent ones about Gaara.

Lee shortly arrived at his locker. "Hay," said a short red haired boy. Lee was paralyzed as two blue-green eyes peered into his. His visage was pink and he stood at their locker. "Whatever," Gaara said as he removed a black and white AFI CD player and started off down the hall; Shikamaru tapped Lee on the shoulder, snapping him back to reality.

"So Gaara got a locker next to yours, how troublesome," Shikamaru said nodding to the short red head walking away. Looking down at the slightly shorter boy he noticed Lee's slight blush. Grinning he whispered, "Do you like him?"

"N-No, 'Course not!" he choked out, trying desperately to cover his crimson blush. Slowly the sheepish grin on the lazy procrastinators' face spread like a wild fire.

"You do," he said smiling quite calmly. "I knew you were gay, but because I'm a nice guy I'll keep it secrete. That is...if you give me your lunch money. On top of that cover for me when I skip P.E. Okay?" At that Shika-kun left, just as the bell sounded.
