A Slice of a Secret

A Naruto Fanfic

Chapter 1

Holly

This stupid wristband feels like it weighs a fucking 100 pounds. Gaara thought as he climbed the stairs. The clunky black wristband, the kind with snapping buttons, weighted down his arm.

Gaara was your stereotypical emo, not too goth but not to punk either. That is, if you like to classify people with stereotypes.

He wore dark skinny jeans and mildly tight dark colored t-shirts most of the time. Today was just like any other, or at least it was starting that way. He had on dark jeans and a black t-shirt that had a band logo on it. His eyes had dark rings around them, really dark, but that was because he was an insomniac, but it still added effect to the stereotypers. He had a tattoo that was the Japanese kanji for 'Love' on the left side of his forehead, and cherry red hair to match the red color of the tattoo. His eyes were a pale blue color that sometimes looked more pale green or even pale grey.

Gaara trudged to his second period class on the top level. He had gotten to school just a tad late this morning, and wasn't in the best mood, but not the worst either.

Then something caught his eye. It was a girl, a girl with dark brown, burgundy type hair. Her hair almost had a tint of red in it, but it wasn't red. She had walked in a few seconds before him, so all he saw was her back as she went down the isle way toward his seat.

His seat. The one he sat in everyday, the one right beside Hinata, who was one of his closest friends. Hinata looked up worriedly to glance around for him. When she saw him she leaned over and whispered something to this girl with the beautiful brown hair, who was now sitting in his seat.

Gaara could now get a full picture of the girl, even though she was sitting down. She had on dark, ripped skinny jeans and a light blue and black plaid button-up shirt. Her dark hair was straightened, and her bangs were pinned across her forehead, making her cute in a hot way. Gaara had reached the seat were he was supposed to be sitting and looked down at her medium-sized frame. She wasn't exceptionally small, but she wasn't big at all, either. Her eyes were the same particular color of her hair, but with green in them as well. Her eyes were even more different than her hair, though. They were that dark brown with a tint of red near the pupil, but had a very thick ring of emerald green around the brown. Most people would say she had brown eyes from a distance, or even hazel, but the brown and the green weren't mixed at all.

She returned his gaze evenly as other students trickled into the classroom. Gaara broke away from her eyes and looked at Hinata, who was tapping her fingers nervously, glancing at the new girl to him and back again.

Then he looked down at the girl who was pulling out a notebook and a pencil from her bag.

Gaara pointed to the desk, making her notice his hand.

"This, is my desk, where I sit every day," he stated.

She looked back at him, smirking just a bit.

"If I recall, this classroom does not have assigned seats, so I can sit where ever I please."

Gaara shook his head at the girl, and then raised an eyebrow at her, which wasn't much of an eyebrow at all.

"If you don't get out of my seat, I'll make you," Gaara warned, smirking a bit himself.

"Guys like you always talk big, but never carry through," She responded shrugging her shoulders. "And I like this seat."

"H-holly, you s-should probably m-move," Hinata whispered from her chair. She was still taping her fingers.

The girl, known as Holly, didn't move a muscle.

"Holly, is that your name?" Gaara said glancing at the clock. He still had a good two minutes before the bell rang.

"Y-yes, and she's n-new here," Hinata answered in an almost inaudible voice. Gaara could hear her voice clear though, over everyone else's because she had been his friend for so long, his ears were sort of trained to.

Holly didn't move.

Holly was staring at this redhead, beautiful eyed boy.

He's hot. She thought, and then snapped out of it. This kid was threatening her over his seat. His seat. Holly knew how to deal with people like these. Even though it was indeed her first day at Konoha High, she had come from a school with kids like this, thinking they were all badass but were actually really pitiful. Or so she thought.

Hinata had given her a warning, but she didn't listen. Instead she crossed her arms and raised an eyebrow of her own up at him.

"I'll give you five seconds to move to another seat," Gaara said casually.

Holly laughed but didn't say anything for four seconds.

"One," He said.

Hinata gasped, and just as she turned her head to see what she gasped at Holly suddenly didn't feel the seat beneath her. This time she gasped herself, whipping her head back around. This boy with the blue eyes had swiftly picked her up, bridal-style, with out making her hit her knees on the desk or anything.

Okay, so Holly definitely wasn't fat, but she wasn't a feather, either. The boy seemed to have no trouble though, as he slid her into the seat in front of where she was sitting, harmlessly, and took his arms back. He sat down in the seat she was in, not five seconds ago, and gently pushed her bag with his foot to the side of the desk she was in now.

Hinata's mouth was wide-open, as she stared at the interaction.

Holly turned around, her heart racing. She had just been in this boy's arms.

Okay, she admitted, He's definitely different than the all-talk type.

He had told her that he would do it, and he had.

With a slight huff she turned around in her seat and looked at him. He was wearing a smirk on his lips, eyes dancing with mischief.

"Well Hello, Holly it's nice to meet you," He said.

She looked at him confused. "Um… Hi?" She said.

He's not mad or anything?

Hinata had fainted on her desk by now. It looked like she was sleeping. Holly quickly straightened herself. "You know, you didn't have to do that," She said with a roll of her eyes.

He shrugged, then smiled, closing his eyes. "You wouldn't move. My name's Gaara, by the way,"

"Nice to meet you?" She sort of questioned him; basically asking Are we friends or enemies?

Gaara nodded. This was all bringing him some level of entertainment, while brightening his day.

Then the bell rang.
