I Do not own any of these characters, or Naruto. Blah. IF I did, Naruto and Gaara would be lovers. But I don't, so I shall write this instead. :3

Naruto walked into his classroom, late again. "Gomen Iruka-sensei!" Naruto huffed as he ran to his desk. Iruka continued on with his lesson, having being use to this. After the first lesson was over, Iruka turned around to face the class. "Alright class, today a new student will be joining us." This brought everyone's faded attention back to the front of the class.
The door to the classroom opened to reveal a stunning teen with blood red hair. The whole class was mesmerized as the teen walked up next to the teacher and turned to face the class. "This is Sabaku no Gaara everyone. Please treat him with the utmost respect."
There was a blood red kanji that said "Ai", meaning love, tattooed on the teen's forehead and his eyes had dark rings around them, showing his obvious insomnia. His face remained expressionless as his eyes analyzed every student in the room, making them all feel restless. His eyes stopped on the blonde in the back though. The blonde had his head propped up by one of his hands and his eyes were focused on Gaara. Green eyes and ocean blue eyes locked in an intense stare.
"Your seat is next to Naruto in the back." said Iruka to Gaara. "Raise your hand please Naruto." Naruto raised his hand ever so slowly, for Gaara and he had not broken their eye contact. Gaara calmly walked to the back of the room and took his seat next to Naruto, right next to the back window. Gaara broke their staring contest and turned his attention to the front of the classroom to pretend to pay attention to a lesson he already knew.
Even though Gaara had broken their eye contact, Naruto continued to stare at Gaara. Eventually, the red headed teen turned towards Naruto. "Can I help you?" Gaara asked. Naruto blushed, mostly of the embarrassment of being caught staring. "Uh…No. Gomen." Naruto turned to face the front of the class. He could feel the red head staring at him. It was making Naruto shiver.

Finally class was over. Naruto picked up his books and began to stuff them in his book bag. Everyone had filed out by the time Naruto got his books in. At least that's what he thought until he turned around to come face to face with none other than Gaara. Naruto jumped in shock, grabbing his chest. "Geez, don't scare me like that." Gaara said nothing and continued to stare at Naruto. Naruto's face went blank and then he grinned. Gaara was taken aback. Why was this kid smiling?
Naruto held his hand out. "Hi. My name's Naruto. It's nice to meet you Sabaku no Gaara." Gaara hesitated but shook Naruto's hand anyway. "Hn." Naruto smiled. "Okay then….Well, I guess I'll see you at school tomorrow." Naruto ran out of the classroom leaving Gaara behind. Gaara stared at the door, unsure of what to do. He had a sense something was going to happen with that kid, but he wasn't sure what. Gaara shrugged it off and walked out of the classroom.
A kid with black raven hair and onyx eyes watched the red head walk out of the classroom. He gritted his teeth together. Competition…
