Author's Note: Enjoy my new story! I got inspiration for it from a roleplay(:
Konoha High School was a large school, it was filled with diversity. Each student was different, some were sluts, some were criminals, some were soon to be criminals, some were nerds, some were the emo goth kids, some were overly excited kids, and the list could just go on and on.
In this school, there was one serious outcast. His name was Gaara, Gaara Sabaku. People knew him as the kid who never talked. That wasn't entirely true about this fiery red head, he did speak, but very little. He only spoke when he was told to answer a question or to shut a person up.
He was a bit of a bad boy too, which got some girls to have a crush on him, but he was still an outcast nonetheless.
Students feared him for some unknown reason they were scared Gaara would kill them or something of that sort. I guess this would happen when your father is a well known criminal who is currently the most wanted man in Konoha due to his assassination of the ex-Hokage. And, of course Gaara's siblings would have decided to take him to Konoha to study rather than keep him in Suna where he could have possibly lived peacefully without students fearing him.
Gaara, secretly enjoyed the fear that student had for him. Especially when a teacher feared him, every time they looked at the attendance and saw the name, Sabaku, their heart would stop for at least a second.
Gaara was somewhat short compared to the other seniors at Konoha. He had pale skin and short, spiky, brick-red hair. His eyes are a light green, though his pupils are mostly invisible. Under his eyes, Gaara has black-eyes rings for some unknown reason. Though, it does complete his scary look sometimes. Then his kanji "love" tattoo on the left side of his forehead. No one understood why he had it there since Gaara was said to have no romantic bone in his body. People say it was because he was born motherless, though the reason for the tattoo being there is said to be because it's the symbol of the gang Gaara is a part of.
~.~.~
Though not everybody in Konoha was like Gaara, some were like the popular and peppy Sakura. Sakura was a crazy fanatic in being well, happy. She hated seeing others frown and tries hard not to frown. She is head of the cheerleading squad of the school and is a total sucker for romance, which explains her obsession with William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet.
Though Sakura's peppy attitude, she could be quite emotional and moody, switching from one mood to another within moments.
Regardless of that, Sakura was popular, beautiful, and romantic. She was a bit flirty in some ways since she wanted a boyfriend, the right boyfriend. Someone to take care of her since due to past relationships where the man wasn't the one for her, she desperately searches for the right one for her.
Sakura was quite rich since she was the daughter of doctors. Her father and mother both taking up the medical field and being surgeons earning a whooping a salary of $219,770! Since both the parents of Sakura is in the medical field, specifically in performing surgery, Sakura dreams of becoming like them no matter how long it takes in medical school, residency, etc.
Sakura has bright, long, pink hair, emerald eyes which glimmer under the light, and fair skin. Her oversized forehead has been her flaw of perfection on her face. Due to the rather large forehead, she has been given the name of "Billboard Brow" by her friend Ino Yamanaka.

The school was huge, the size of the classrooms were as twice as big as normal classes in other schools and that is because when you've got Tsunade, the richest lady of Konoha, as the principal of the school, it's a bit expected that the school would be luxurious and expensive.
Though it's always been a mystery to people on why she is so rich, people think it's got to do with the fact that she isn't married and her figure is not so bad for a lady who is over fifty years old, especially with breasts like she's got, it's kind of hard to imagine her as being fifty years old.
The school day had just begin, students were unloading from their buses and entering the school building, being forced to take the headphones out of their ears. Some students were coming from their cars, or being dropped off by those parents. After each student entered the school, they walked towards their respected hallway. The freshman (or fresh meat as the seniors liked to call them) had their lockers on the first floor. The sophomores had their classes on the second floor, the juniors on the third floor, and at last the seniors at the fourth floor.
Thank god, there were elevators at the school otherwise the seniors would have fun going up and down the steps.
All the way at the end of the Senior's hallway, there was a corner which no one dared to go to. That was where Gaara's locker was. Not even the janitor's came to sweep up the place, but Gaara didn't mind. It was just a little hallway which it didn't matter whether it was cleaned or not, Gaara liked the privacy he got, he could do whatever he wanted in that hallway and no one would even notice, then again he could do whatever he wanted and no one would dare to even say a word.
Gaara reached his locker with his skateboard backpack over his shoulder, he approached his locker and began putting in his locker.

Sakura walked into the school and approached her own locker which when you enter the Senior's hallway, it the was the seventh one. When she skipped over to it with her pink ribbon bouncing, she saw a broken locker.
Her eyes grew wide as she stood speechless. After a few seconds, a man came towards her.
"Is this locker yours?" He asked pointing to the locker. Sakura nodded slowly.
"Well, a few students decided to uh…get in a fight, so the your locker got pounded on and is well…broken. Though, we have a replacement locker for you." The man said as Sakura frowned a bit.
This wasn't a good start to a new day. While following the man, she reached the abandoned hallway which belonged to Gaara Sabaku. The man led her to the locker next to Gaara's.
"This will be your new locker. Sorry for the inconvenience." He said as he smiled and walked away.
Sakura looked at Gaara, he wore a black leather jacket with a red shirt under it. It showed a picture of a marshmallow roasting people. Sakura would've laughed, if it hadn't been worn by Gaara since it made the shirt look… creepy.
Sakura gulped as she began to place her locker combination, ignoring Gaara.
~.~.~
Gaara looked to his side when he saw Sakura approach, he simply rolled his eyes and minded his own business.
She was the head of the cheerleading squad, she was obviously a bitch and a bitch is a bitch. He had no interest in bitches.
She was ugly too, really ugly. She thought was cute with her little pink ribbon on the top of her head and her short white dress which revealed her blue polka-dotted bra straps.
"Wow.." Gaara muttered as he looked at her. "Such a whore.."
After Sakura, put her stuff away, Gaara appeared in front of her. "This hallway belongs to me. If you bring any friends here, well looks like your pink butt and your ugly bitches will be out of here within seconds."
Sakura moved her head back as she bit her lip. Gaara smirked, he could sense the fear coming from her. He liked the fear, he liked when people were afraid of him. But, she slowly nodded.
"What's your name again?" Gaara asked as he slammed her locker shut, the rosette jumped a bit at the sound.
"Sakura…" She muttered.
"Ew, what an ugly name." Gaara replied as he put his hands in his pocket and slammed his own locker shut to get her to jump again.
Sakura bit her lip as she put her hands on her hips. "Why me?"
