A Story for Myself

A Naruto fanfic

Chapter 1

A day in the life

Another day of high school. Another day alive. Another day of thinking and everything else.

Gaara sat down in his first period math class, ready to zone out once again. He was wearing khaki cargo shorts and a red Hollister shirt. The red of his shirt almost matched his cherry red hair. None of the teachers really expected the students to do anything anyway, because it was almost summer. So in this time he thought.

Does anyone else think this hard about things? Or do they just ignore the facts, or do they really not know all the thoughts I think? But then is there really a stupid and a smart? Or does everyone have the same thoughts? Maybe at different times though. Or are we all programmed the same, in a way almost like computers? But then again, some people seem so stereotypical, the dumb jocks who only play sports and hardly get by in school? Or are those the smartest people? Are they all just masking their intelligence because that's what they do? Or is that a rule among people like themselves? Wait, then it'd be kind of like a secret organization or something. Man, am I getting paranoid. Whats wrong with me?

And once again he wound up with more questions than answers. Finally the ending bell rang and he would now be going to- WHAM!!!

Gaara groaned at the pain left behind from the book that just slammed into his face.

"Gaara!" Naruto shrieked as he ran down the hallway at full speed toward Gaara, who had just stepped out of the math classroom. Gaara hardly had time to rub his throbbing head before Naruto slammed into him and tackled him to the ground. Gaara smiled, remembering that today was Monday. Monday was N.B.D. or Naruto's Bet Day. It was the day that Naruto had to carry out his previously decided bet on Friday. It happened every Monday, and the targets were usually unfortunate, because the bets could get rather humiliating and violent. But mostly of anything went in their group, and they were all used to N.B.D by now.

In the small crowd of teens that had gathered around them Sasuke, Neji, and Choji emerged to Gaara and Naruto, who were now wrestling each other.

Gaara laughed. "Who won?" he asked them.

"Surprisingly Choji, this time," Neji answered. "And there was a double bet, well more like a quadruple bet," so Sasuke won too.

"What?!" Naruto said as he tried to pin down Gaara. "I won too, remember?"

Gaara twisted Naruto's arm around his back.

"Not yet, you havent, and it doesnt look like you're going to either," Sasuke laughed.

"What was the bet in the first place?" Gaara asked while pinning Naruto's other arm as his knee came up and hit Gaara's jaw. "Ow!" He laughed, finally sitting on Naruto's back, Naruto's stomach pinned to the ground.

"Fine!" Naruto yelled. "Sakura won, but it's only because I was caught off guard in the first place!"

"The bet was to see if 1)," Sasuke held up his finger for emphasis, "Naruto would actually throw a book at you and tackle you or not, 2)," another finger went up, "if he would remember or not, 3)" once more a finger waved in the air, "if you would fight back or not, and 4), who would win the fight if you two started fighting, which was the jackpot because not many people thought you would fight Naruto back on a Monday morning." Sasuke smirked.

"The winners will be announced at lunch," Neji concluded to them as the principal, Tsunade, rushed down the hall toward them all.

Gaara noticed that Naruto was wearing a bright orange t-shirt with tan shorts like his. For some reason Naruto loved the color orange.

Tsunade grabbed Naruto by his spiky blonde hair and Gaara by his ear, yanking them up off the floor.

"AND WHAT DO YOU THINK YOURE DOING, GAARA, NARUTO?" Tsunade boomed as everyone else around them scattered, including Sasuke, Neji and Choji, who snickered loudly all the way down the hall.

"Trying to earn some money," Naruto crossed his arms in a childish manner and stuck out his tongue at the high school principal.

Gaara just about went into convulsions trying to hold his laugh after seeing Naruto act the way he did to Tsunade. Tsunade had a rather curvy body, noticed by most boys in the school, but Gaara could care less. She actually was a pretty good principal, not a jerk or anything, and she was cool about the students, although you definitely couldn't get away with just anything. Tsunade was a solid principal, and she was STRONG, in the literal sense. Gaara thought his ear was going to get ripped out by the time she let go of him.

"And what was the purpose of you two fighting?" Tsunade asked the two boys in a harsh tone.

"It was a bet," they said simultaneously. Then they both grinned at each other, like there was something that the principal was missing.

Tsunade rolled her eyes and sighed. "Another Monday bet?" she asked Naruto.

Naruto just smirked and showed all his perfect white teeth before laughing devilishly. Tsunade let go of his hair and flipped a detention notepad out of her shirt.

She inhaled sharply then flipped it closed again, stashing it in the pocket of her loose green jacket.

"You know what? You're both not hurt right?" she sighed again as both of them nodded that they weren't.

"Fine, Ill let you off with a warning, but no more bet wrestling, okay?" then under her breath she mumbled, "It wouldn't do Naruto any good to have another detention either, seeing as though he's already had 32 of them."

Naruto just grinned at that too as he nodded again.

"Get to your next classes," she commanded.

"Yes ma'am." Naruto shouted and Gaara rolled his eyes while grinning.

Naruto had Training next, Gym basically, but it took up two class periods and was more intense. Everyone took that class. Gaara had Art next, though. He started off down the main hallway to get to the art classroom that was all the way on the other side of the school.
