Gaara's lank green eyes stared around the room from his position in the back of the classroom, he was illuminated by shadows-since they were currently watching a movie in there World Geography class about the wonders of the 'Amazon River'. Through this darkness he allowed his eyes to wander and rest on certain people strewn throughout the semi empty classroom. Semi empty because World Geography, if you weren't interested in learning about the world would be a dreadfully boring class-and well the majority of the class had skipped out.
He didn't mind, he found completing his work a much less stressful task when it wasn't full of annoying chattering kids, talking about nothing but annoying and meaningless things. Gaara, much to his pleasure was a person that was relatively left alone-it wasn't that people didn't want to get to know him, it was because he gave off that vibe of not wanting to be known. His solitude was his best-friend, but people tended to want to get to know him anyways-often being put in there place soon after the attempt.
Girls had to quite possibly be the most bothersome, at least in Gaara's opinion. He was gay, plain and simple-but he wasn't gay to the point where he stared at dude's asses, or talked feminine, hung out with nothing but girls, metro'd out, or fantasized about some handsome male celebrity-He'd sooner die. He just preferred boys over girls. And that was the end of it-but, girls still seemed to want to try to convert him. Maybe it was because of his lean yet physically fit body, his short blood red hair, and green eyes-the extreme paleness of his skin-or maybe it was the fact that he was so unapproachable it just peaked there curiosity.
He wished it wouldn't.
His eyes fell on somebody that he wished it would though-Hyuuga Neji.
It was something about that mysterious boy with the pale eyes, and long brown hair that just got him, and it seemed like the silky net of the Spider's Web was not going to let go. Gaara found himself unexplainably obsessed with the boy. He even went as far as to follow him and his cousin, that shy girl Hinata, to there mansion home one-day-even though he was put out by the sheer size of it, as oppose to the small cramped house he lived in, with his older siblings-Temari and Kankuro.
Gaara watched as Neji shifted-boredly. Then moved a thick layer of brown hair over his shoulders, his eyes looked intense and focused, even though he was so outwardly bored. I mean who cared about giant otters and there eating habits? Gaara flicked his eyes away from Neji's form and looked up at the clock on the wall, almost time to go.
He waited a good ten minutes, and the teacher, who had been previously dozing off-lifted his watch tiredly, and with a look of immense relief, stood up, stretched and turned the movie off. "Alright class I expect a full page on this movie, handed in tomorrow the minute you walk into the door" a chorus of groans rang out throughout the class. Gaara frowned-he wasn't even watching the damn movie, and he wanted them to pretend like they had been watching it too-damn teachers.
Standing up and cracking the stiff muscles in his back he leaned over and picked up his book-bag, upon bending over he had the sudden eerie feeling that he was being watched. He quickly picked up his book-bag and turned around to see Neji, eyes lowered-he then looked up and they made eye contact for a split second before Neji smirked, and left out the classroom, behind a group of giggling girls. Gaara stood dumbfounded, had Neji just been staring at his ass? The notion was absurd, but then again where else could he have been looking?
Gaara let a shadow of a smile cross his face, Neji was interesting indeed.

Naruto held the huge triple cheese burger between both of his hands and looked across the lunch table at Gaara- "I still don't believe you can eat that burger in three bites Naruto, you'd as soon as choke first" Gaara spoke in monotone, answering before Naruto could ask. Naruto's face drooped, and he lowered the burger. "I know...but what if I could?" Gaara rolled his eyes, Naruto took a bite, and then while chewing asked Gaara the question that had been on his mind.
"I wonder have you talked to him yet Gaara, I see you staring at him all the time"
Taken aback by Naruto's forwardness, he raised up eyebrows that would be there, if he had any. He then shrugged. "No-I'm observing him first, but I did catch him staring at my ass in Geography today" Naruto looked amused, and snorted around his full mouth. Gaara then frowned, "but for some reason I can't shake the fact that he wanted me to catch him, when I looked at him, he didn't look away or anything-he just smirked and walked off" Naruto's grin widened, "sounds interesting" It was Gaara's turn to snort.
Naruto was his best-friend and his only friend, and they both were gay-not for each other-but ironically enough two of the hottest most popular boys in Klein High. Naruto was like a ball of energy, and if it wasn't for his tanned, blonde haired, blue eyed friend-Gaara would never do anything. Stay holed up in his house for sure, he hated crowds, basically Gaara hated anything that involved people-Naruto was the complete opposite-and he had a thousand friends to prove it. Gaara never really could figure out why Naruto would rather hang out with him instead of all of his other friends, but then again that was one of the biggest reasons why he liked Naruto-the weirder you were, the more he liked you.
"Sasuke just walked in with Neji." Naruto almost swallowed his burger whole. He then made a show of smoothing out his shirt in hair, Gaara's lip curved upwards. Naruto then nervously breathed out. "Is there anything on my face?" He asked, huge blue eyes wide, there was, a smudge of ketchup at the corner of his mouth- "No." Naruto let out a sigh of relief.
Sasuke and Neji made there way down the center of the cafeteria, bluntly denying to sit with any of the girls who asked, or more appropriately begged. They made there way pass the table that seated Naruto and Gaara, and for some reason Sasuke stopped, and looked over at Naruto-he smirked. "Dobe, you have ketchup on your mouth" he then motioned to Neji and they left-Gaara couldn't hold it in, he turned his head away and snorted into his hands. "I'll get you for that one Gaara, just you wait!" Naruto threatened, but he laughed along with Gaara, it was funny after all.

"What do you think about those two?" Neji asked Sasuke as they made there way back to the table they sat at, in the farthest corner, away from the other inhabitants of the cafeteria. Sasuke shrugged as he sat down across from Neji. "I don't know-I think the blonde is cute" Neji smiled, and looked down at his curry-sneering. "That burger he was eating looked tasty" Sasuke nodded his head in agreement.

Itachi was plainly stated, bored, bored fucking bored, fucking bored. Why did he have to be so damn smart? He was like the only person in the damn classroom that was done! He leaned forward, locks of long dark midnight hair falling over his eyes, and face.
Dammit he's looking at me again
By him, he meant Orochimaru- Klein High's biggest player, the dude would flirt with a hunchback if it turned him on. He was pale almost to the point of it being unhealthy. He had long, super long, straight jet black hair, and silver eyes. Itachi had to admit, that Orochimaru was highly attractive, but going as far as to say that he wanted anything to do with him, would be crazy-as well as sick. The guy got around so much, he could hand out STD's. At least that's how Itachi saw it.
He was not bad looking himself-Thick raven colored hair, and red eyes, pale skin that looked like it was molded from the essence of the moon-not to mention he was the star player on the track team, girls practically threw themselves at his feet-but damn it if he wasn't asexual-nothing turned him on!
The bell rung, and Itachi let out a breath of relief, as he grabbed his books and headed out the classroom towards the gym-he waved to a few people he knew, and entered the lockeroom. He went to the far back where his locker was located, and started off by pulling off his shirt, he threw it behind him, and it draped over the bench-He then bent forward and started on his combination. Smiling when he heard the lock click, he paused-someone had just pinched his butt. He whirled around but didn't see anybody-he furrowed his brow, rubbing his butt, which was stinging. "What the hell-"
BAM!
The back of his head hit his locker, knocking the air from his chest. Orochimaru was standing in front of him leering towards his face. His hands moved up and gripped Orochimaru's shirt- "What are you-" his back hit the locker again, and Orochimaru leaned back into him-smelling his neck and hair, Itachi's eyes widened as a long tongue slid from Orochimaru's mouth, and along the base of his throat, he let out a content sigh. "Itachiiii..." he murmured against his neck, Itachi's fingers tightened around his shirt, "I simply cannot get enough of you, I must have you-only you..." Itachi pushed forward against his chest. "Let go of me you sick bastard!"
He head hit the locker again, and Orochimaru's hand slid up his chest to rest comfortably around his neck. He smirked. "I want you to be a good boy Itachi, because I will have you whether you like it or not-people like me and you Itachi, are just meant"

Okay Iruka you can do this, just knock on the door, and ask to see if you can borrow the color pencils, nothing to it, Just.Do.It. Iruka let out a long suffering sigh, and lifted his hand up to knock-only to have the door swing open before he could. Kakashi stood staring lazily at him, a silky silver bandana was wrapped around his nose and mouth, and he had a matching patch over his left eye. "Iruka?" He asked leaning against the doorframe, crossing his arms casually over his chest. "I say what brings you to my classroom, isn't the Writing class on way on the other side of the building?"
Iruka nervously scratched the back of his head, "Yeah. I came to ask you if I might be able to borrow some of your color pencils, since your the Art teacher, and we're doing poetry in my class at the moment, and well..." Kakashi raised up his hand and pulled forth some color pencils from out of nowhere, handing them out so Iruka could retrieve them. "No problem Iruka, anything of mine if yours-never hesitate to ask me anything" the bell rung signaling the end of one class, and the start of another.

Ino and Sakura scrambled into the classroom, students that were already inside and seated gave them annoyed looks. "Okay where gonna do it this way Ino-Pig" Sakura said, as she walked over and stood in front of three desks, "I'll sit right here on the left side of Sasuke, and you will sit on the right-that way we both get to sit next to him" Ino smiled slyly. "That's a good idea, forehead, I knew that wide head had to be good for something"
A vein popped out of the side of Sakura's head, they sat down, glaring at each other so hard you could practically feel the electricity crackling in the air. The class started to fill, and the object of both girls obsession walked into the classroom-accompanied by the ever aloof Hyuuga Neji. They made there way pass the girls and to the back of the classroom. Sakura and Ino passed each other confused looks- "Since when did Sasuke start sitting in the back of the classroom?"
Ino shrugged. "I don't know-"
The door which had been closed sometime during Sakura and Ino's confusion flew open and Naruto rushed inside, followed by Gaara walking at a much slower and reasonable pace. "Uzumaki Naruto is here! Believe it!" his outburst was met with annoyed silence-Gaara snagged the back of his jacket and dragged him up the aisle, towards there...seats...
wait a second
"Your in our seats" Gaara stated, his eyes locking with Neji's since he was sitting in his seat. Neji smirked leaning forward in the seat and resting his head on his interlocked fingers. "Am I? I don't think we've ever had assigned seats in here" he stated back coolly, Gaara's eyes darkened. "Yeah, but I've always sat in this seat-so it makes it mines by default" Neji smirked, then leaned back. "I'll give you your seat under one condition"
"Depends on if it's reasonable"
"It is"
Gaara stared at him for a second. "What is it?"
Neji's smirk widened.
"You go out with me, as in on a date-tomorrow night"
"You too, dobe" came the voice of Sasuke from his left. Shocked wasn't even the word to describe the looks on Naruto and Gaara's faces-a more better word would be- flabbergasted. "Are you serious?" Gaara asked, wondering why his voice sounded like Naruto's, oh, because it was Naruto's voice. Sasuke smirked leaning forward in his, no Naruto's seat. "We wouldn't of asked you if we weren't, it's not like we're hard up or anything"
The confused expression stayed. Neji sighed. "Yes, we'll get up, no, find another seat"
Gaara really wanted his seat, the back of the classroom in the corner was the only place he could sit and not kill anybody for bothering him. He sighed, I mean it was Neji after all his secret obsession asking him out on a date-of course he'd go, but if he found out that this was just some sick joke they were playing on him and Naruto, blood would be shed, lots and lots, and lots, and lots-well you get the idea.
"We'll go-pick us up at Naruto's house, 8:00, no later than that, or your out of luck" Neji and Sasuke smirked at one another, then stood in one fluid motion and walked off to sit somewhere in the front, predictably somewhere Ino and Sakura weren't sitting.
Naruto plopped down heavily in his seat and looked over at Gaara. "Are you sure we should've said yes, I mean I know we like them and all-but this could be some sort of joke-"
"I'm way ahead of you Naruto-it does seem strange, that two boys who could practically get any girl in the school, would settle for us-could turn out there being genuine, but if this is some sort of game-I say we play it" Naruto rested his head on his arms, seeming to think it over. "Alright, I'll go along with it-but if I find out that they're just jerking our chains, it's gonna be hell to pay-Believe it!"
Gaara agreed.

Two boys stood outside in front of the school leaned up against the gates, one had a cigarette halfway smoked and dangling limply from in between his fingers. The other was sitting on the hard concrete ground, next to the other boys leg.
The boy standing up had messy premature grey hair, that fell haphazardly down his back, coal black eyes, and a nice slim figure, he was wearing your typical street clothes. The other boy was of a darker complexion than his counterpart, he had long dark brown hair, falling down into a loose braid along his back, and hazel eyes-he was dressed in a similar fashion to the boy next to him.
The boy with the grey hair, flicked his cigarette to the side, and then leaned down the gate seating himself next to his friend. "Are you sure they go here?" The brown haired boy dug around in his pocket, and pulled out two pictures-one with the picture of a girl with pink hair, named Haruno Sakura, the other with blonde hair, named Yamanaka Ino. "I'm sure-I've had my eye on this school for awhile, I always see them together, mostly arguing-but they seem to always be around this guy-"
He pulled out another picture of a black haired boy, named Uchiha Sasuke, "Who hangs around this guy-" he pulled out another picture, of a boy with long brown hair, named Hyuuga Neji. The grey haired boy nodded his head, looking to be more interested in the picture of the two boys, then the two girls. He then side glanced at his friend. "Is there anyone we should watch out for?"
The brown haired boy seemed to think this over, then going into his back pocket he pulled out two more pictures. "The blonde is pretty harmless" He said holding out the picture of a blonde boy, named Uzumaki Naruto- "He's just loud, but this guy-" He said as he brought forth the second picture of a boy with hair the color of crimson, named Gaara, just Gaara. "He does look odd" Tittered the grey haired boy, "so he's a possible threat?" The brown haired boy shrugged his shoulders, "I'm not sure, but he watches the Hyuuga a lot-I don't know why, maybe he likes him, maybe he looks at him as a rival-but there's a very powerful and dangerous aura that surrounds him-like some kind of hidden blood thirst" The grey haired boy lifted the picture higher, then he went back to the picture of Naruto. "What about this guy?"
"Nothing really-he just hangs around the guy a lot-I think there best-friends, but if he's managed to befriend the Gaara guy, there has to be something about him that I've missed" The grey haired boy, then went back to the picture of Sasuke and Neji. "What about these two?" The brown haired boy took the pictures out of his hands, and studied them. "Uchiha, is not a person you can cross easily, he's forever on the offensive, it's almost impossible to break threw his guard-he's tough. The Hyuuga is much the same way, there both your typical Ice Princes'" He then laughed, making his friend throw him an annoyed look. He then grunted, "We don't get paid enough for this-but we have no choice but to go threw with the mission, the boss wants those two girls"
The brown haired boy lifted up the two pictures of Sakura and Ino- "They don't look so special to me" He said, "they're pretty cute-but isn't pink hair a little unusual?" The grey haired boy shrugged. "Possible. But I'm guessin' that's why the boss wants them-he wants one of these pretty girls to be his wife, and the other to be his mistress" he leaned back against the gate, "Why two high school girls I don't know-but we don't really have much time" He then picked himself up from off the ground, his friend doing the same.
"Tomorrow we check into the school-woo the girls, whisk them off, and take a much needed vacation"
"I hear that man!"
Part 1-End.
