Authors Note: I really hope I can get this stuff right. If I miss anything or am wrong about something feel free to correct me (lol even though I hate that I'm doing it for the sake of the story). I like time skips and absolutely hate flash backs and everyone seems to put them in Naruto stories. Oh and I don't know what to call Gaara's dad so I'm just gonna call him Gaara's dad. And Gaara's favorite color is red in my story. Wish me luck!

P.S. I do kick ass at Unreal Tournament 3 (only on Xbox not on PC) tee hee! And I'm not hating on Neji, I just thought he'd be good for the part he has…don't kill me! And some might say that it's not a real fanfic because I added myself (lol) but I don't care. If you got the chance to know me, you'd understand. Oh and I don't know if that's anything like the real process of filling up a pool. I just guessed.

Monday

Great, my new shirt is stained. This is gonna take a lot of bleach…Gaara thought to himself while sitting in the principal's office. The first day of my new school I'm in trouble and I wasn't even the one who threw the first punch. If dad finds out he's gonna beat the crap out of me again… He sat there in front of the principle not listening to a word of his lecture while the object of his punches was now in the nurse's office hopefully in a lot of pain.

"Gaara this is your first day here in Konoha high. This is not a good way to starting off the year by picking fights with some of our most prized students. Kisame is an honor student and he wouldn't want to mess that up by fighting. "

"I didn't even start it. I didn't want to fight but Kisame got me in the stomach first and I'm not gonna stand there and be a bitch and take it."

"Watch your language young man." Scolded the principal.

"Sorry." Gaara said. "I'm not the kid you should be after." With those last words he got up and left.

Gaara headed towards the bathroom to clean himself up. He looked at himself in the mirror and so did the other two guys in the bathroom.

"Damn…" One of them said. "What happened to you?"

Gaara wiped the blood off his knuckles.

"It's not my blood."

"Whose is it?" The shaggy haired kid asked.

"Some jerk named Kisame, I think." Gaara turned and looked at them. Their faces were pale and their eyes were wide.

"You…you punched Kisame?" The kid with the sunglasses asked in awe.

"Yeah, he shoved me into a locker then elbowed me purposely so I hit him." Gaara said shrugging. "It's not like it's such a big deal. It happened all the time at my old school in Suna."

"Dude you don't just punch anyone you want around here. A scrawny guy like you could get the crap beat out of them." The other kid said.

"Hey I took down that Kisame guy didn't I?" Gaara said.

"Yeah I guess that's true. So kid, what's your name?"

"I'm Gaara Sabaku."

"Nicetameetcha. I'm Kiba and this is Shino. Let me show you around school today," Kiba said ushering him out the door. "And let's try to keep you out of trouble for the rest of the day…"

"I think it's too late for that." Shino muttered behind them.

Gaara's schedule went like this: History, Math, Health, English, Lunch, Science, Gym, and a Study Hall, similar to what his old school schedule was like. His best subjects were history and English and his worst was always math. So far he knew he had history and English with Shino and Kiba, and had waved hello to a couple of their friends when they waved to him. He assumed he'd be meeting them later because Kiba would not leave his side.

English was finally over and Gaara was happy because his stomach was growling louder than a diesel engine. They walked out of English together and Gaara was immediately hit by a mass of blond hair and orange jacket. Gaara and his assailant crashed to the floor, people all around them snickering.

"Ouch what the hell?" The blond said rubbing the back of his head.

"Naruto you almost killed Gaara!" Kiba shouted, helping him up.

"Sorry but I was trying to get away from Kisame and Deidara. They were bothering me…" Naruto trailed off to look at Gaara. "Holy shit! You're the one who punched Kisame aren't you? They were saying some new redheaded kid beat the stuffing out of him! So did you?" Naruto asked jumping up and down excitedly.

"Umm, I just punched him in the face a couple of times…" Gaara answered.

"Oh my god you're my hero." Naruto said smiling.

He's got a really cute smile…Gaara thought. He shook his head to clear his thoughts. They listened for a while to Naruto's incessive babbling, something he was quite good at.

"Something wicked this way comes…" They head Shino say under his breath. They all turned to look and coming down the hallway was Kisame followed by a tall blond guy. Behind them was a really pale guy with long-ish black hair, and another guy with long black hair. Geez dose everyone have long hair around here?...

The bad news was that all eyes were fixed on Gaara. The tall blond guy picked Gaara up by the shirt and slammed him against the lockers.

"Are you the one who hit my friend in the face, yeah?" He said getting in Gaara's face.

"So what if I am?" Gaara replied looking him in the eyes.

"Hey put Gaara Down!" Naruto yelled.

"Deidara put him down before a teacher sees and we'll deal with him later." The long haired pale guy said.

"Yeah it's time for lunch anyway…" The other long hired guy said as they all headed off to the cafeteria.

"Gaara you can't just talk to them like that." Naruto said coming up to him.

"Why not? I gotta let them know I'm not afraid of them." Gaara replied, straightening his shirt out.

"Come on and we will explain it all in the cafeteria while you eat. Your stomach was growling so loud I couldn't concentrate in class." Kiba said and everyone laughed.

I should have eaten more than a piece of toast for breakfast this morning, Gaara thought as he wolfed down his turkey sandwich. The lunch was pretty good here and there were a lot of choices. He bit into his apple and listened to Kiba make introductions.

"Okay so the blond idiot who almost gave you a concussion is Naruto."

"Hey!" Naruto protested in the background.

"You know me and Shino, the pleasantly plump one is Choji, the lazy one is Shikamaru, the fuzzy one is Rock Lee, the girl with the pink hair is Sakura, the blond one next to her is Ino, and then there's Hinata the shy one. Everyone, this is Gaara."

Everyone chorused in with their own versions of hello.

"Gaara is the one who punched Kisame this morning." Kiba explained.

"You're a crazy person!" Exclaimed Ino followed by the nodding of many heads.

You don't even know the half of it… Gaara thought.

"Who are all of them anyway?" Gaara asked taking a sip of his apple juice.

"Here let me explain it to you." Sakura said butting in. "The really pale one is Orochimaru. He's kinda the leader of their little group. Next to him is Kabuto, Orochimaru's boy toy. Then there's Deidara, followed by Sasuke and Itachi Uchiha. Then Neji, Tenten and Kin. Zabuza and Haku are next. And of course you know Kisame and the blue haired chick is Konan. They are all seniors except for Sasuke, Kabuto, Haku, Tenten, Neji and Kin. Haku, Kin and Kabuto are juniors and Sasuke, Neji and Tenten are sophomores like us."

"You don't mess with them." Ino said. "They're kind of like the top dogs of the school. They get good grades and basically suck up to the teachers."

"And all of them are bullies." Choji said.

"Anyway, off of the depressing topics. Gaara are you an only child? I heard there were two more new kids, are they your siblings?" Lee asked.

Gaara looked over to where his brother and sister were sitting.

"Yeah they are over there." He pointed them out. "That's Temari and Kankuro."

"Why did you guys move here?" Naruto asked.

"Our dad forced us to leave. Said because he wanted a change of scenery. There was nothing holding us back there so it's ok. I think I'm ready for a change of scenery too and some new friends maybe." Gaara said and they all smiled at him.

The rest of the day they were able to avoid most of Orochimaru's group. When the bell rang Gaara focused on meeting his sister at Kankuro's black Audi when his was ambushed by all of his new friends.

"Hey Gaara!" Naruto said. "When you get home you gotta add all of us as a friend on facebook."

"Yeah and AIM too." Lee said and they all swapped usernames.

"Alright." He replied as his brother waved him over. "I will. Talk to you guys later!"

"Hey little bro." Kankuro said as they got in the car. "How did you like our new school today?"

"It was pretty good. I made a lot of new friends already." Gaara said shrugging.

"I guess you didn't hear what he did today Kankuro." Temari said looking at her younger brother.

"Oh shit what did you do now?" He cried swerving and almost hitting another car.

"He punched that Kisame guy in the face." Temari answered. "And from what I saw he deserved it."

"You crazy kid. I hope the school didn't call dad already." Kankuro said cringing and remembering the last time their father got mad. "We don't need that…"

Gaara reached forward turning up the volume on the stereo not replying.

'Wake up in the morning feelin like P Diddy

Grab my glasses I'm out the door I'm gonna hit this city

Before I leave brush my teeth with a bottle of Jack

Cause when I leave for the night I ain't comin back

I'm talking pedicure on our toes, toes

Tryin on all or clothes, clothes

Boys blowin up our phones, phones

Drop toppin

Playing our favorite CDs

Pullin up to the parties

Tryin to get a little bit tipsy

Don't stop make it pop

DJ blow my speakers up

Tonight I'ma fight till we see the sunlight

Tik tok on the clock but the party don't stop no

Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh - '

"Hey Kankuro I was listening to that!" Temari said.

"God I hate that song." He said. "You have it on your iPod anyway."

They pulled into their drive way and saw that their dad's car wasn't there. When they got inside Gaara checked the answering machine but there was nothing from school, just something about a credit card company. Gaara liked their new house. It was definitely a lot bigger than their previous one and he even had his own bathroom. That meant no more fighting over it with Temari. However he would continue to steal her eyeliner. It even had a workout room and a pool. He went upstairs to his room to change out of his bloody white t-shirt. He sat at his desk and flipped open his laptop. He kept his username locked just in case of snooping family members as he had learned in the past. He logged on to facebook and immediately sent a friend request to all the new friends he made today. He changed his status to: My new school is a pain in the butt and so are some of the people in it. But that's okay, they don't know what him them (literally lol)

He logged off facebook and switched over to AIM and almost immediately got a message from Naruto.

RamenLover: hey Gaara

Sand_Demon: hey

RamenLover: what r u up to?

Sand_Demon: just got home, thinkin of ways to clean the blood off my shirt

RamenLover: good luck with that

RamenLover: hey do you dye ur hair?

Sand_Demon: umm no why?

RamenLover: just wondering it's just so red and it's really pretty

Did he just call my hair pretty?... Gaara thought. He felt a burning sensation on his cheeks then realized he was blushing.

Sand_Demon: uh thanks

RamenLover: I gotta go for now

Sand_Demon: ok ttyl

RamenLover has signed off.

Gaara left his computer for a minute to go downstairs and get a soda. His brother and sister were currently racing in Mario Cart on the Wii. He himself wasn't a big fan of the Wii; he'd rather stick with his Xbox 360. He climbed the long flight of stairs back to his room and went back to his computer.

WildAnimal has signed on.

WildAnimal: Gaara!

Sand_Demon: hey Kiba

WildAnimal: so did u get in trouble when u got home?

Sand_Demon: no my dad isn't home and the school didn't even leave a message on our answering machine

WildAnimal: wow u got lucky

Sand_Demon: I don't think he would have cared anyway

Sand_Demon: so do you think Orochimaru's group is gonna give me a lot of trouble?

WildAnimal: I really hope not Gaara they r involved in a lot of bad shit

Sand_Demon: oh…has Naruto said anything to u about me?

WildAnimal: no…

Sand_Demon: oh ok I gotta go got stuff to do tonight

WildAnimal: ok se u 2maro in school bye

Gaara signed off and closed his laptop. He leaned back in his chair and thought about his day. He liked his new school minus the idiots he encountered earlier. There were a lot of cute guys too. Gaara was bisexual but he preferred guys. They didn't come with all the drama girls did.

He looked at his alarm clock. Temari would be starting dinner soon. Gaara changed into a pair of sweat pants and headed to the workout room. He turned the CD player on and hopped on the treadmill and started off with a light run.

'The way you shake it

I can't believe it

I ain't ever seen an ass like that

The way you move it

You make my pee pee go

Da doing doing doing

I don't believe it

It's almost too good to be true

I ain't ever seen an ass like that

The way you move it

You make my pee pee go

Da doing doing doing -'

Gaara listened to the words and blushed. He realized it must have been Kankuro's CD in there and jumped off the tread mill to stop the music. He thought back to the lyrics and for some reason Naruto walking down the hallway popped into his head. He shook his head as Temari opened the door.

"There you are. Dinner will be ready in ten minutes and dad's home. Be nice."

"Sure." Gaara replied.

He climbed the stairs to his room and went to his bathroom. He looked at himself in the mirror and wiped the sweat off his neck and face. He turned off the light and went down stairs.

"Hey dad." He said. "What's for dinner Temari?"

"Chicken stir fry with rice." She said. "Help yourself."

Gaara got his plate and loaded it up; he was hungrier than he realized and it smelled really good.

"How do you all like your new school?" Their father asked.

"It's really cool there." Temari said.

"Yeah even Gaara made a lot of friends." Kankuro said between mouth fulls.

"Is that so? Well then I expect no trouble from any of you." Gaara's dad said with a pointed look at Gaara.

They finished their meals and went their separate ways. Gaara was back in his room. He had all his stuff from his old bedroom back in Suna and most of it was already unpacked. The walls were white but that was ok, he would just cover them with his various posters from bands and movies he saw. His queen sized bed was in the corner opposite the door and next to that was his desk complete with laptop, alarm clock, lava lamp and rolling chair. Across from his bed were his huge book case which was almost full, and then a dresser holding his TV and Xbox. Next to his bathroom door was his stereo that held a lot of his music. All the furniture stood out against the white walls because Gaara had painted it all black once when he was younger.

He took his laptop with him as he sat on the bed. He went on facebook and saw everyone had accepted his friend request. Out of curiosity he looked up Kisame's profile. He mostly had everything on private but Gaara could still read his posts. It said: gonna beat the crap out of that little red headed punk.

"Oh crap." Gaara said aloud. He was the only red headed punk around. He typed in Naruto's name in the friends search and looked at his info.

Relationship status: Single

Why am I even looking at this?... Gaara thought becoming embarrassed.

Interested in: Men and Women

Well that's different…

Then suddenly he had an idea. He checked the interested in section of all his guy friends profiles and saw that most, if not all, were bisexual.

Wow, I guess there aren't that many good looking girls here… Well this is gonna be an interesting school year.

He logged off facebook and got back on AIM.

Taijutsu_Master: hi there Gaara

Sand_Demon: what's up lee?

Taijutsu_Master: nm just got back from my karate lesson about 2 eat dinner

Sand_Demon: yeah I gotta work on homework soon I'm a really bad procrastinator

Taijutsu_Master: I kno what you mean well food's ready! Talk to you soon!

Taijutsu_Master has signed off.

No one else was on so Gaara signed off too and looked at the time.

It's 6:30…I should probably do math homework… That's gonna take a while

He pulled out his math notebook and the worksheet and stared at the paper. Use the quadratic formula to solve the equation. Okay if you say so…

An hour later he had finished all 7 problems. He didn't think he had any other homework due tomorrow so he decided to take a shower. Once again he paused to be thankful for his own bathroom. Now he didn't have to worry about girl stuff being in there all the time. He turned the water on hot and stripped down to nothing. He caught his reflection in the mirror before getting in the shower. His body wasn't bad looking, he realized. His muscles were defined just right and so was everything else. He stood still and tilted his head back letting the water saturate his hair.

Thirty minutes later he opened the bathroom door causing the steam to float out. He had a towel wrapped around his slim waist and one hand running through his damp hair. He walked to his desk and logged back on to facebook. Checking the news feed he realized there was a lot of commotion. It turns out that Naruto had posted something and a lot of people had commented on it. It said: I wanna be the one you're with. Followed by that was things like "uh oh! " and "who is it?". Gaara decided that he didn't know how to comment on this so he just clicked on Like. He logged off before anyone could talk to him seeing as he wasn't in the talking mood.

He put on a pair of boxers, got under his dark red down comforter, and noticed he wasn't really tired yet. He traced the pattern of old scars on his arms thinking about his day. As much as he tried not to he thought about Naruto. I don't even really know the guy…

Sighing he turned on his Xbox and played Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 for a while which usually made him tired enough to sleep. After kicking but for an hour he shut down everything and rolled over onto his side. I hope everything is gonna be ok tomorrow… With that last thought he fell into the deepest sleep he had ever slept in a while.
