Temari P.O.V
It was warm out and I was on my way to school, it was a junior High/High school, with my two younger brothers Gaara and Kankuro. It was our first day of school in our new town, and I was a little worried about Gaara. He wasn't very good at making new friends. Kankuro and I were a few steps behind Gaara.
"I'm worried about Gaara, what if he doesn't make any new friends?" I whispered to Kankuro.
"He'll be ok," he assured me with a smile, but I still wasn't too sure.
Kankuro P.O.V
We all got homerooms when we got to school. But unfortunately Gaara, Temari, and I were in all different grades. I looked over my time table. Everyone was talking to their friends about their summer before the teacher came in. As I sat there wondering how my siblings were doing in their class a kid in the class came up to me. He had his black hair cut in a bowl shape, and was warring all green.
"Hey, I never saw you here before. My name is Lee, what's yours?" He asked me.
"Um... Kankuro," I told him.
"Pleased to meet you Kankuro I hope we get to know each other better," he said smiling and walking over to his two friends.
Gaara P.O.V
I walked lonely to my first class. No one paid attention to me, they all pretended that I wasn't even there. In my next class I sat alone we had tables and stools, it was science. The teacher walked in,
"Ok people settle down, my name is professor Kakashi. Now before we get started I'm going to give you a seating plan, because you're such a small class," he told us.
"Aw...," everyone said.
"Now no complaining, stand up and let's get this done with," he said.
I was sitting with a boy with blonde messy, spiky hair, and a boy in a sweater who had brown messy hair. They were chatting away; they must known each other. The teacher was talking about what we were doing this term, and what we would be marked on.
Someone nudged me, "Hey, you're new here right? What's your name?" asked the blonde kid.
"Why do you care," the kid in the sweater said hitting him.
"I was just being nice. Do you always have to be like this," the blonde said.
"I just don't care for new kids," he said rocking on his stool.
"Well you can just screw off then," he said turning to me.
"So, what's your name?" he asked.
"Gaara," I told him.
"Well I'm Naruto, and this is Kiba. It's nice to meet you, I hope we can be friends," he said smiling.
Temari P.O.V.
It was my second class that day. There wasn't really anyone interesting in my grade. It was a small school, even though it was junior high/ high school, so you were with the same people in every class. And what really sucked was that we got a seating plan in every class. My second class was math; I didn't real care for it.
What was strange thought was that one boy looked like he should have been in Gaara's grade. Maybe he was just short. He had black hair and it was in a pony tail that stuck up. I got seated behind him, so I decided to bug him a little,
"Hey, kid," he looked at me. "Your kind of short to be in grade 10 don't you think?" I said laughing.
"Yeah, I'm supposed to be in grade 8 but have been ahead two grades sense grade 4," he told me. I was surprised, was he really that smart?
"So, what you're saying is your 12 maybe 13 and you are that smart?" I asked.
"Yeah, I just don't put in that much effort in school so they only put me this much ahead. I'm actually pretty bored with this stuff, it's a drag," he said laying his head on his desk.
"Maybe you should start putting in more effort. Then they might put you in a higher grade so you're not so bored," I told him.
"Yeah and get picked on by kids way older than me," he said into his arm.
"So shrimp, what's your name anyways?" I asked him.
"Shikamaru," he said looking at me.
"I'm Temari, nice to meet you," I said smiling at him; he gave a little smile back.
Kankuro P.O.V.
It was my next class, L.A.; we sat at tables in fours. I was sitting with Lee and his friends. A girl with black hair up in two buns, and a boy with long black hair, also he never had pupil's which was strange.
"Hey Kankuro, we meet again," Lee said smiling.
"Uh... yah," I said looking at his friends.
"Oh yeah, this is Tenten and Neji. Guys this is Kankuro, we met this morning," he told them.
"Hi," Tenten said smiling. For the rest of the class we got to know each other.
Gaara P.O.V.
I walked with Naruto and Kiba to our next class. As we walked Kiba kept looking at a girl that was in our class. She had short black hair and was really shy; also she had no pupil's.
"Hey Kiba," Kiba looked at Naruto. "You like that girl don't you," Naruto said smirking.
"No I don't," Kiba said angrily and walked ahead passing the girl without even glancing at her.
"That girl is Hinata by the way. Kiba has liked her sans last year. He still denies it though," Naruto said smirking.
"Oh," I said.
"You don't talk much. What's wrong?" he asked.
"Nothing," I said walking into the class room.
Temari P.O.V.
It was L.A. and for some reason even though we were in high school we sat at tables. I guess the teacher just thought we wouldn't cheat, and trusted us, what an idiot.
"Ok, my name is Guy and I will be teaching you this class. And sans I trust you guys I'm going to let you sit ware ever you want," he said smiling. Everyone found a seat. There was only one table left, so Shikamaru and I sat there. Maybe I could get some answers off his stuff; I wasn't very good at this class.
"So how come no one in this class talks to you. I mean they don't talk to me because I'm new, but you?" I asked. He looked at me and then looked away and put his head on the table.
"They think I'm a freak," he said quietly.
"Oh," I said looking away.
"It's ok," he said. "Were friends right, so it's fine."
Kankuro P.O.V.
"So Kankuro what made you want to come to this school?" Tenten asked me.
"It's the only school me and my brother and sister could go to together. My sister is in grade 10 and my brother is in grade 8," I told her.
"You have a brother and sister, and you're a middle child? That must suck," she said.
"It does some times, but I love my brother and sister there my only family," I said.
"Oh," said Tenten looking sad for us.
"Anyways tell me something about you guys," I said.
Neji was living with his cousin, Hinata in the same class as my brother Gaara, because his parents died when he was young. Tenten was in martial arts and specialized in weapons, while Lee and Neji were good at fighting. It was interesting to find out these things about them.
Gaara P.O.V.
I sat in the desk in front of Hinata in social. Before the teacher came in a blond girl with her hair up in a long pony tail came up to her.
"Hey Hinata, what do you think of the new kid?" she asked her.
"Um... I don't know Ino," she told her.
"Well I think he is weird. He doesn't talk much, and I hear he is friends with Naruto and Kiba now. Also he has and older brother and sister," she told Hinata. Great she knows so much about me already. She must be a popular kid, they always know a lot about the new kids before anyone else.
"Well, um... that's nice Ino. Thanks for telling me," Hinata said giving her a small smile.
"Well I'm off to tell some more people, Sakura too, even if it kills me. I hate her," Ino said in a snobby way.
I turned to Hinata, "She isn't very nice is she," I said.
"Y-You herd?" she asked shyly.
"Yeah," I told her. She blushed and looked away. I looked at her for a second then turned away. I saw Ino walk over to a girl with short pink hair, and they started fighting; she must be Sakura.
A while after class started I heard the kid in front of me open a bag of some thing; probably chips.
"Choji," said the teacher. The kid in front of me looked up. "Who said you could eat in class? Lunch is in 10 minutes anyways," the teacher told him.
"I know I'm just really hungry. It's hard only having lunch at school and no snacks," he told him.
"I don't care how hungry you are through that bag of chips out," the teacher told him.
"Yes Mr. Asuma," Choji said getting up and throwing the bag out. What a weird kid, can't he wait for lunch to eat.
"I wish Shikamaru was here," he said with a sigh.
"Hey, don't worry Choji we will get to see him at lunch," Naruto said smiling; he sat beside Choji.
"Yah, but it's never been the same sans he got moved up two grades," Choji said sadly as the bell rang.
Temari P.O.V.
Shikamaru and I walked down the hallway to the lunch room.
"So ware is the lunch room anyways?" I asked him.
"On the main floor, but we have to go though the seniors hallway to get there the fast way from here," he told me.
"So, what's wrong with that?" I asked.
"Nothing I guess," he said.
When we got to the seniors, grade 12's, hallways ware all their lockers were Shikamaru hesitated for a little while to walk through it.
"Come on," I said going ahead. As we walked though people were whispering and looking at us.
A guy came up to us, "Hey, I haven't seen you here before, you new?" he asked. He had blond hair, and had it sticking up in the back, held in place with a lot of elastics, and at the top it hung over. His bangs were over his left eye, and at first glance I thought he was a girl. Also he was warring leather gloves.
"Come on Temari let's get to the lunch room, ignore him," Shikamaru said.
The boy looked at him, "Why are you hanging out with this shrimp?" he asked me.
"She's in my class," Shikamaru told him.
"Seriously, this girl is only in your grade. The way she dresses makes her look older," he said as three other people walked up. They were all warring long black coats with red clouds on them, including the boy who first talked to me.
"Hey, Deidara what are you doing? We're going to be late. We only have tell lunch is over to practise you know," said a boy with black shoulder length hair and red eyes, which was kind of creepy.
"Sorry Itachi, I was just talking to this girl, but the smart ass cut in. And anyways we can practise in our garages too," Deidara said.
"That's no excuse," said a boy with short messy red hair, kind of like Gaara's.
"I know Sasori, but look at her," he said. Sasori looked around him at me.
"What grade is she in?" a boy with really spiky blue hair asked.
"Smart 000es' grade," said Deidara.
"Really, I thought she was in our grade and just got here," said Sasori. They continued to talk about me, except for Itachi. Shikamaru and I snuck away.
When we got to the lunch room we got in line for our food. After we went and sat at a table that Gaara and Kankuro were at. It seemed like they had made some new friends.
"Hey, Temari how was your morning?" Kankuro asked me.
"Good," I said.
"Who's that with you?" Gaara asked glaring at Shikamaru.
"He's a kid in my class. He was supposed to be in your class, but apparently he got to skip a few grades," I told him, Gaara looked away.
Gaara P.O.V.
It's a good thing that kid is younger then Temari, she'll never go for him. She likes dating guys her age and older after all, and it doesn't look like she met anyone else.
"So who are your guys' new friends there?" Temari asked.
"This is Tenten, Lee, and Neji," Kankuro told her.
"Naruto and Kiba," I said.
"So this is your sister," Tenten said. "She looks much older than the people in her grade."
"It's just because of the way she dresses," said Neji. I was a little mad that they were talking about my sister like that, but it was true. She dressed in really bad clothes for her age.
Kankuro P.O.V.
I never really noticed it, but Temari did look older then she was. Maybe that's why she could not only get the guys her age, but older then her too at our old school. She wasn't really into the younger guys, so I knew she wouldn't like that kid in her class she met.
"Hey, she's prettier then Sakura, how come she is sitting with us and not the kids in her grade?" Lee asked looking at Temari for the first time; he was busy on homework before.
I hit him, "Ouch, what was that for," he said, I glared at him.
"Oh... she must be your sister. Sorry," he said going back to his home work. I was glade Temari never heard what he said.
Lee turned to Neji, "Isn't Kankuro's sister hot?" he asked.
"Hey," I said to him before Neji could answer.
"Oh, sorry," Lee said smirking. I'm going to hurt him if he comments on her again.
"Lee you shouldn't talk about her like that. You're not supposed to talk about your friends siblings," Tenten told him.
"Who was he talking about?" Kiba asked.
"No one," said Neji.
"Fine," he said going back to the conversation he was having with Naruto.
Temari P.O.V.
I knew they were talking about me, but I didn't care.
"Hey, I need to go get some books from my locker, I'll see you guys later," I told them.
"Want me to come with you to show you ware to go?" Shikamaru asked.
"No, I can find my way from here I'm sure. I need to know how to get around myself anyways, just in case you get sick," I told him smiling.
"Well ok," he said, and I left the lunch room.
I didn't really need anything from my locker I was just hoping to maybe meet up with Deidara again before lunch was over. But that might not happen; it was a big school after all even though there weren't many kids. I walked down the hallway not knowing where to go. They said they had to practise for something; maybe they were in a band or something. They did say they could practise in a garage, and that's where bands usually practise. I walked through the halls listening for music. I heard some Rock music coming from a room at the end of the hall. I went to go see who it was. I looked though the window in the door; it was Deidara and the band he was in. The bell rang for lunch to be over, and I had no idea where I was in the school. Itachi, the kid with blue hair, and Sasori walked out of the room. They looked at me,
"Hey what are you doing all the way over here?" asked the kid with blue hair.
"I bet she came to listen to us play," Sasori said staring at me.
"I-"
"Come on guys let's go or will be late for class," Itachi said walking away.
"Fine," said the kid with blue hair. Sasori winked at me as he turned to walk away with Itachi. These guys are strange. I didn't like getting hit on by guys. It happened at my old school too; maybe I should change the way I dress. I wish I could date someone my age or younger for once, but they all think I'm too old for them. It's not that I don't like the older guys it's just that you never know what they're going to do sans I'm younger. I'm going to change the way I dress when I get home, probably ware more clothes towards the boyish side, and for my age.
Deidara walked out of the room.
"Hey, what are you doing all the way over here?" he asked.
"I kind of left the lunch room sooner then I should have and without Shikamaru, so I'm kind of lost," I said looking at me shoes.
"Oh, well what class do you have now?" he asked.
"Um... social, with Mr. Asuma," I told him.
"Well I'm late for class already so they won't let me in now, nothing new. So I can take you to your class if you want, I'm sure they will let you in even if you late because your new," Deidara told me.
"Ok, I guess," I said still looking at my shoes. I followed him down the hall.
"You don't say much," he said.
"I um..."
"It's ok you're just shy because you're new here right," Deidara said.
"Um..." I said.
"Or is it just me," he said smiling. I looked away so he didn't see me blush.
"So anyway, how is school here for you so far?" he asked as we took a turn and headed down some stairs.
"It's good," I said. "I made some friends in my younger brother's classes too. Not just that shrimp,"
"What grades are your brothers in?" he asked.
"Grade 9 and 8," I told him.
"So you have a bunch of kids for friends. That's no good, you should get some friends at least your age," he said.
"Yeah, but no one wants to talk to the new kid," I said frowning.
"Well I'm talking to you aren't I," he said smiling. I blushed again turning my head away from him.
We got to the social class room only a few minutes after class started. Deidara knocked on the door, and Asuma opened it. When he saw Deidara he came out of the room and closed the door.
"Why aren't you in class?" he asked not seeing me.
"Well I was putting away my band stuff, and when I came out of the room I saw Temari here," he told him pointing at me.
"Why were you all the way up there?" he asked me.
"I got lost," I told him looking at the floor.
"Well Shikamaru said that he offered to help you get around the school, but you said no," Asuma said.
"Well I thought I knew where I was going, but I guess not. Deidara was nice enough you show me ware to go through," I told him. Hopefully he won't get in too much trouble for skipping now.
"Well ok, and sans it's your first day here I'll let you into the class. But any other day you won't be able to come in. Also Deidara I'll write you a note so if a teacher sees you in the hall during this hour you won't get in trouble," he told him.
"Thank you sir," Deidara said taking the note and leaving. "Bye Temari," he said waving.
Gaara P.O.V.
I sat near Kiba and Naruto once again in math class. Sakura was on the other side of the room talking to some kid. I think his name was Sasuke, that's what people were saying anyways. He had short black hair that was spiky in the back.
"I hate you why won't you leave me alone, you and Ino both!" Sasuke yelled. Sakura turned her head and I could see the tears in her eyes. It was kind of funny.
"Sasuke you never yelled before you were always so quit," she said sadly.
"Well people change when they are constantly being bugged by people they hate, you're so annoying," he said to her coldly. I was trying not to laugh; I didn't want to get in trouble, not on the first day anyways.
"Hey Sasuke, if you're going to be mean to her and me, consider yourself no longer a popular kid," Ino yelled at him.
Sasuke smirked, "like I actually liked being in your little group anyways," he told them.
"Fine then loser, you can go hang out with Naruto and the other losers now. Come on Sakura," she said sticking her nose in the air and walking away. I almost couldn't hold in my laugh. I put my head down on my desk to calm down. I could laugh all I wanted tomorrow; I only promised Temari and Kankuro I'd be good for one day. Ino and Sakura walked to the door with their backpacks as the teacher walked in.
"Hey where are you going?" she asked.
"We won't be attending math today, because someone made Sakura cry," Ino told her.
"Well alright then, I'm marking you absent for this class then," she told them.
"That's fine," Ino said walking Sakura out of the room.
As we left the class when the bell rang we walked by Sasuke.
"Good job on making her cry, even if you did get kicked out of their stupid group," I said to him. He watched as Kiba, Naruto, and I walked out of the room.
"I can't believe he would do that to her. I mean I knew he was a jerk, but I didn't know he would be a big enough one to get kicked out of the popular kids group," Naruto said.
"Well it doesn't seem like he cared, and they are annoying," Kiba told him.
"You take that back about Sakura!" Naruto yelled at him.
"Wow touchy, I'm sorry... You like her don't you?" Kiba said smirking.
"Yah," he replied. Kiba laughed. "Hey at least I can actually admit when I like someone, unlike you. I know you like Hinata," Naruto said. Kiba glared at him and then walked ahead.
"He so dose, you can tell just by the way he acts when I say he does," Naruto said grinning.
Temari P.O.V.
Shikamaru and I walked out of the classroom.
"You never meant to go to your locker did you. You were looking for those grade 12 boys," Shikamaru said.
"It's none of you biasness ware I went. We only met today, I'm not going to tell you everything," I told him.
"I know that, but I... never mind," he said, he looked to the floor.
"Hey, come on, will become good enough friends soon, and I will tell you things like that" I told him smiling. He gave me a little smile back.
Kankuro P.O.V.
I knew Temari never really went to her locker before lunched ended. Saying that she needs to know where to go without Shikamaru just in case he was sick one day was a bad excuse. I wonder where she went though. Oh well Shikamaru will ask her that sans she was most likely late for her last class anyways.
"Kankuro you've been quit for the past hour," Neji said.
"So," I said.
"Well you were really talkative before," Tenten said.
"Well maybe I don't want to talk to people who keep talking about my sister the way he did," I told them looking at Lee.
"Oh come on Kankuro I was kidding around," Lee told me.
"Fine, but if it happens again," I said pounding my fist against the palm of my hand.
"Wow, calm down, It won't happen again I promise," he told me.
"Temari never went to her locker did she," Tenten said.
"What of cores she did, that's ware she said she was going didn't she," Lee said.
"You're so naive," Neji told him.
"What, what's that suppose to mean," he said angrily.
"I'm thinking the same as you two, but it doesn't matter. She doesn't like people butting in on her life, so let's just leave her be," I told them. Lee looked confused, but didn't press the matter.
Gaara P.O.V.
Our next class was health; I think it was the least favourite class of everyone; at lest we only got it once a week. And what was even worse about it was that we had some old guy teaching it.
"Ok class, my name is Jiraiya and I'll be your health teacher this year. Some of you may know me already from my books. I'm the author of a cretin adult series," he told us. Kiba raised his hand. "Yes young man," he said pointing at him.
"Are you the one who wrote that weird book Kakashi reads?" Kiba asked.
"Yes I am," He replied. "And I'm going to give you all copies of the first one so you won't have to bug him for his. Look in your desks everyone," he told us. Everyone pulled out the book. "Now those are free. Read them and if you still don't understand some things I'll sell you my other ones," Jiraiya told us. "Now before you start I'm going to give you a short talk on some things so you understand what is going on in the book. Will start with body parts," he told us. It was sick listening to a guy in his 50's talk about this stuff. As he talked Naruto and I saw Kiba staring at Hinata.
"Hey, Kiba what are you thinking about, looking at Hinata during this class," Naruto said smirking. Kiba glared at him and then turned to look at the Jiraiya. Naruto laughed.
"Who laughed? Do you guys think this is funny? It took me many years of research to get all this information, so if you're not going to be matcher enough to listen you can leave, and leave the book behind too," Jiraiya told us. No one moved, "Ok let's carry on then."
"Well that was an existing class hey Kiba, and now you have your own book you won't have to steel Kakashi's anymore," Naruto laughed.
"Hey it was only one time, and I only read half of it," Kiba told him angrily.
"Hey I was just kidding," he told him.
"So what did you think Gaara?" Naruto asked.
"I'm not going to even read the book, my brother and sister would never let me. Also I don't want to read a perverted book made by a pervert in his 50's," I told them.
"Well you're no fun," he said.
Temari P.O.V.
As I walked to my next class I saw Gaara, he was holding a book.
"Hey Gaara, what book you reading?" I asked.
"Nothing," he told me hiding it.
"Help me get it from him," I told Shikamaru in a wispier.
"Come on Gaara let me see it," I said.
"No," he said. While I was distracting him, Shikamaru grabbed it. He laughed.
"What's so funny?" I asked.
"Hey," Gaara said as Shikamaru showed me the cover. I was shocked,
"Gaara where did you get this?" I asked.
"I wasn't going to read it I swear," he said.
"I said ware did you get it Gaara," I told him.
"The health teacher, he gave everyone one," he told me. Kiba and Naruto hid theirs.
"Well you're not going to read it," I told him.
"I was going to show you after school," he said.
"Kids your age shouldn't be reading this stuff," I told them.
"I only read half of Kakashi's when I stole it," Kiba blurted out, then covered his mouth.
"But Jiraiya said it took lots of research to get the information for him to write it, and that he was going to give us a test on the book and what we learned today in a few weeks. Also he said if we fail the test or have any questions he was going to let us buy and read his other books," Naruto said.
"So, this is not an age appropriate book and Gaara's not going to be reading it. I don't care what you two do," I told them. I put the book in my backpack. "I'll be talking to Jiraiya too," I said, walking away.
"You sound like a mom," Shikamaru said.
"Well I have to be some times, seeing as we don't have parents," I said angrily.
"Oh, sorry," he said.
"And Gaara and Kankuro act like dad's to me when it comes to boys. Gaara was ready to tare you to shreds when he saw you with me at lunch," I told him.
"What made him change his attitude?" he asked.
"The fact that you're younger than me," I told him.
"Oh," he said looking away sadly.
"Anyways, it's good that we have health next. I can talk to Jiraiya about this book," I said.
We walked into the class room.
"Could I speak to you outside?" I asked Jiraiya.
"Uh... sure," he said.
"It's about this book," I said pulling it out of my bag. "I took it from my little brother who just had this class, and he said you gave it to everyone," I said.
"I did," he told me.
"You know those kids are only in grade 8 right?" I asked.
"Yes I do," he said.
"Well then why did you give them this book? It's not age appropriate at all," I told him.
"Well isn't it better for these kids to learn the stuff in the book at a younger age?" he asked.
"No, they might go out and actually do some of this stuff," I told him.
"Oh, so you read it then?" Jiraiya asked.
"No, but I heard things about it, and this is not the kind of book I want my little brother to read," I told him.
"You're new here aren't you?" he asked.
"Yes, but-"
"How about we go grab a drink and talk more about this in a nice environment," he said smiling.
"Um... no thank you," I said backing into the classroom. Then turning around and taking a seat by Shikamaru.
"How'd it go?" he asked quietly.
"He wasn't even listening to me about how the book was bad. He was just staring at my chest, and then he asked if I wanted to go have a drink with him and talk about it in a better environment," I told him shuddering.
"What a pervert, and we can't even do anything about it either," he told me.
"Why not," I asked.
"Because all he will get is a talking to, that won't stop anything. And he can't get fired because were low on teachers," he told me sadly.
At the end of class we all got the same book Gaara did. "Well I guess there is no stopping him. Kankuro is going to get one too, so I might as well give Gaara his book back to read," I said shuddering. I wrote a note saying he could read it, and put it in the book. When I saw Gaara in the hallway going to his locker, it was the end of the day, I gave it to him.
