Communication

Chapter 1

She stood in the middle of the road, picking up her favourite toy which she dropped.

She hears her name being called desperately, and looks up, to her dismay.

After an ear-piercing scream escaped from her mouth, she tried to call out for her mother but no words seem to come out as she fell into an abyss of darkness.

Her life was changed forever, both for the good and bad.

Sakura walked into school, carrying her books and giving a smile to everyone. She had bubblegum-coloured hair, emerald eyes and brilliant looks. There was not much of a flaw to her, except the problem that she was mute...

"Hey Sakura!" A blonde waved, causing many boys to gape at her as she walked over to Sakura.

Hi Ino-chan! Sakura held up her notebook, with those words neatly scribbled on it.

"Ne ne, have you seen the new transfer students? One of them is so totally hot!" Ino exclaimed, her eyes glittering brightly. "He got popular the moment he walked in the school gates!"

Sakura arched an eyebrow. She wasn't particularly interested in popular boys.

But in this case, she had a feeling something was going to change her life forever.. again.

"You are late, Haruno-san, Yamanaka-san!" Kakashi, their teacher, bellowed. But isn't he late all the time too? Sakura thought, pouting.

"We've already introduced the transfer student that's in our class. Go ask for his name yourself." Kakashi muttered under his face mask, and continued teaching. Sakura quickly walked back to her seat, and was about to place her files at the empty seat beside her until she realised somebody was sitting there. She almost dumped her bag on him! Placing her files underneath the table, she sat down, but it was obvious that she was nervous. But wait, she wasn't the only one nervous 'cause the whole class seemed to be shifting their tables away...

What the hell is he doing here? Oh wait, he's the transfer student. But why is he sitting here?! But it is basic courtesy to introduce myself so.. better write him a note.

She took out a piece of paper, scribbled on it and passed it to him.

Hello! I'm Haruno Sakura. Since I was late, would you mind telling me your name?

The whole class tensed as the boy took his pen out and wrote something on it.

Gaara.

Sakura looked at the neat handwriting and smiled. He must be a nice guy!

I'm sorry to say, but I'm a m-

Sakura gasped at what she wrote. How can she tell him? She can't make a bad impression. Taking out an eraser, she erased what she had written. But the redhead already saw it.

Sakura walked towards the lunchroom alone. Ino had to run some errands for the teacher, so she told her to go ahead first.

Being such a pretty girl, she should have countless of friends. But because she was mute, nobody wanted to talk to her. Soon she was known as a bitch, for unknown reasons.

She grabbed her lunch and went to sit down at her usual place, but only to find a group of girls sitting on the bench already, chatting happily. When they saw her, they all gave her a look-who's-here look, and continued laughing, this time smugly.

Another lunch in the library, huh? Sakura sighed as she headed there.

"You eat in the library?" A voice asked. Sakura turned around to see Gaara, holding his lunch too.

Why are you here? Sakura gave a questioning look, but didn't really expect him to answer.

".. I don't think I can eat peacefully with so much noise out there. And those girls." He rolled his eyes.

Sakura gave a small smile, and sat down on one of the tables. She looked around, and sighed. It's better in here with air condition then outside with those crazy fangirls.

"Well, it is better in here." Gaara muttered, and took a bite out of his lunch. Sakura started on her lunch too, but she was actually studying him. He wore eyeliner, enhancing his green eyes. His muscles trailed him arms and his light red hair looked like the cute little plushie at home that she loved to ruffle the hair. Now she wanted to ruffle his hair!

".. What the hell are you doing?" Gaara asked, sweatdropping anime style. She didn't realise she was actually doing it! She drew her hand back, and bowed as apology, a little too low, hence whacking her head on the table.

This caused the seniors that were browsing for books to look at her, and some boys even walked over to her.

"Hey cutie, you're pretty, want to skip classes with us?" One of them said, grabbing her waist and pulling her closer to himself.

Darn, not them again! She tried to refuse, but of course that didn't work. "I'll take the silence as a yes." The guy said, and started pulling her away.

Gaara stared, with almost no expression on his face.

The guy started licking his lips, and brought them down to kiss her. Sakura could feel his tongue in her mouth! Ew ew ew ewwww! Gaara, do something!

Crash! Sakura fell to the ground. She opened her eyes, only to find the boy flung meters away, hitting a bookshelf. The rest took a look at him, then Gaara, and ran away, squealing in fright like girls.

"Well, you told me to do something." Gaara muttered, He held out a hand. "Let's go."

She beamed at him, and accepted his hand. Thank...

"No need to thank me, they were weak anyway," He said, turning away from her. "You did see the way they ran away, right?"

Sakura had to resist the urge to burst out in laughter (silent laughing? o.o) but stopped for a second.

How was he able to understand me?
