Bring, bring, bring!!!
Tamaru's alarm clock went off. She opened her eyes and looked up at the sealing. "Ugh" she said as she got out of bed and went into her bathroom. She looked in the mirror and saw how kinky her hair was. She plugged in her straightener and walked back into her room to change. She put on her pink embroidered top that went down over her thighs and a pair of clingy shorts that almost touched her knees. The shirt slit in a wide upside down "v" revealing the covered portion of her thighs.
She walked back into her bathroom and started straightening her hair. Just as she had the straightener up and ready her mother called, "hurry or you'll be late for school. It's your fist day at a new school, you don't want to be late do you?" tamaru was so surprised that she dropped the hot straightener on her wrist and it rolled over the counter. "Damn," she whispered to herself, as she picked up the straightener and clutched her newly burnt wrist. She answered her mothers question in her head, 'more than you know'
in about three minutes she had finished and walked into her bedroom. She looked over the messy floor and moved a few things before she found her book bag. She picked it up and ran down the stairs. There was a bowl of cereal on the table and a spoon shoved in it. "Hurry and eat so we can get going." he mother said sitting at the table, reading a magazine. Tamaru just rolled her eyes and sat down.
She looked in to the bowl of choco puff's that sat before her. It made her want to puke, she was far to nervous to eat, and all in all she wasn't very hungry. "Mom, I'm not hungry" she said pushing the bowl away from her. He mother looked up from the magazine and smiled, "nervous stomach?" she asked picking up the bowl and dumping the soggy cereal into the garbage. Tamaru nodded and stood up, taking her bag with her.
She and her mother slipped their shoes on and walked out the door. Tamaru's mother searched through her purse for a second and then pulled out a remote garage door opener. She pressed the red button and the door slid lazily upward. Tamaru got in the car and shut the door. Her mother turned the key and the read convertible purred nicely as they backed out of the driveway. Tamaru watched the new houses whizzing past as they sped to her new school.
tamaru thought of all the schools she had moved to. She hated them all. She never made friends and she always became the one no one cared about or liked. But she always stood her ground when someone tried to over power her. Her dad had taught her that. But since the car crash... she stopped herself form thinking on it, not wanting to get herself worked up just before she got to school. Four minutes later they were there.
As her mother pulled up, all the kids seemed to look at her. She wished she could just become one with the leather and disappear. Unfortunately she did not succeed and every one continued to stare. Her mother pulled up into a parking spot and waited for her to get out. Tamaru didn't move, hoping her mother would just drive off and let her stay home. But unfortunately for her, her mother said, " well, go on. Oh, here is your lunch money, and tamaru," she said waiting for her daughter to acknowledge her. Tamaru looked at her and waited for her mother to continue. "Please, please, please try to make some friends. It will make your life and mine a whole lot easier, okay." she said as tamaru nodded and stepped out of the car.
She shut the door and started up the side walk. The kids would look at her and then keep talking with their friends. Just as she went into the big double doors, she saw a boy sitting on the thick marble railing with his back against the wall of the school, reading a book. But he caught her attention because of how he looked.
He had fiery red hair that sort of spiked every where. His eyes seemed to have black all around the edges and his pupil... was gone. All he had was an electric blue round disk that filled his eyes. It was quite appealing. He also wore a black robe, black pants and some strips of white cloth hung out of some of the folds.
She was so busy looking at him she ran right into another person. She stumbled backwards and looked up. "Oh gosh, i'm so sorry." she said apologizing as fast as she could. He brushed off his coat and looked down at her. "You better be," he said glaring at her. She lost all her pity and glared back, 'what the hell, I said I was sorry.' she thought to herself.
"Now get out of my way, you blind little girl." he said pushing her to one side. This boy was handsome with his nice black shaggy hair and his blue shirt whose collar rose up a little to high and his tan shorts that went past his knees. But he was such a prick, "you are the most arrogant prick I have ever met!" she yelled at him. He stopped dead and tamaru put her hands up to her mouth. ' oh shit, I wasn't supposed to say that!' she thought to herself. Even the boy that had not even looked up from his book once, raised his head to look at what was going on.
"What did you just say?" the boy in the blue shirt, asked in a low hissing voice. Tamaru didn't reply and waited for him to do something. He turned around and looked at her with menacing blue eyes. The boy with the book closed his book and sat it on the thick railing he was sitting on. His expression never changed so only god could know what he was thinking. Just as tamaru thought of this the boy in the blue shirt charged toward her. She reacted by falling to her knees, putting her hands over her head and ducking low to the ground.
The boy was so blind with rage that he dashed right into her and tripped. He slid across the stone floor and laid there for a moment. But without warning he sprang right back up. "You are so dead!" he shouted, attempting another charge. Just as he did the red haired boy jumped up and ran in front of tamaru. She watched in amazement as he bent sand (from where I don't know...) To his will and stopped the boy dead in his tracks, making him almost twist an ankle.
"Enough, sasuke. You foolish brute. She's new and it was just an accident." the boy in front of her said to the one that was now lying on the floor. The boy named sasuke just glared at them both and got up. He walked away and brushed some of the sand off his shirt. Tamaru looked back at the boy in front of her. He turned around and looked at her. "You need to be more careful." he said in a tone that made him sound...emotionless and crazy all at the same time, even more appealing. She nodded and then remembered what her mom said about making a friend. She looked at the boy packing his book into a bag, which she noticed that the book was on shukaku the sand demon.
She walked up to him with her bag slung over her shoulder and said, " um, thanks. My name is tamaru." the boy slung he bag over his shoulder too and looked at her with a look of slight annoyance, slight. "Gaara," he said back to her as he walked into the school. Just as he disappeared into the hallways, the bell rang. She ran inside to find her first class of the new school year.
