I Think I've Gone Crazy… (2: Rude Awakening, Alone With Gaara!)

"WAKE UP, JULIE!" I woke up to the sound of my mom yelling at me for the 5th time this morning. "Five more minutes..." I mumbled. Then something pushed me of by bed, and I fell to the ground. "Ow! I'm awake now!" "You better be..." I looked up to see Gaara glaring down at me. "You mother is giving me a head ache..." "Well, prepare to get more of a head ache because you're going to be introduced to her." I said with a smile. Gaara glared at me.

When me and Gaara got down stairs I walked up to my mom. "Mommy?" I asked. "Yes?" My mom answered. "You know Gaara from Naruto? Well, this is him..." I pointed to Gaara as he walked into the room. My mom was quiet for a moment. "It's nice to meet you, Gaara." My mom said. "Would you like something to eat?" "No..." Gaara replied. "I'm not hungry..." I looked at Gaara. He looked confused. "Julie, are you going to come with me and Jana to the Elimentery School to laminate some hall passes?" My mom asked me. "No..." I replied "Are you sure?" She asked. "Yes..." I said. Just then Jana came down stairs and noticed Gaara. "Oh, hey Jana." I said. "I'd like you to meet Gaara." Gaara turned around and glared at my little sister. "AWESOME!" Jana shouted. "What the heck?" I said freaked out. Gaara looked at Jana confused. "Well, we're leaving." My mom said. "We'll be back soon." "Okay." I said back as my mom and little sister walked out to the car.

Me and Gaara sat on the couch watching Emergency Vet on Animal Planet. Gaara seemed a little unstable either because of how nice my mom and sister acted toward him or because all of the blood and surgery that was shown on Emergency Vet. I was guessing that the blood is what was making him like this, so I picked up my Nintendo DS and started playing Harvest Moon. Gaara looked over my shoulder constantly and once he saw his name on the screen he got a little closer to me. "Did that thing just show my name on the screen?" He asked me, getting closer to me so that he could see the screen more clearly. Him being so close to me made me blush. "Yes it did." I answered. "I named the character after you." I blushed a little more. "You named it after me?" He asked. I nodded. "Why do something like that?" He asked again. "Because I like your name." I said smiling. 'If he knew the real reason I named the character that then I would probably be in big trouble.' I thought. Gaara just looked into my eyes then looked at the T.V.

Half an hour later I jump off the couch cheering. "Yes! I finally figured it out!" I shouted. "I figured out how to open the first mine! Yeah!" Gaara glared at me. "Heh heh...sorry...I was a little excited..." I said blushing then sat back down. Then I heard scratching at the back door and realized that my dog wanted in. So I got off the couch opened the door then sat back down. "Leo! Come!" I called to my dog. He came running toward me and sat down next to me. I patted his head and he licked my hand. Gaara glanced over at Leo and then looked back at the T.V. glaring. Leo sat down next to Gaara's feet a licked his hand, wanting to be petted. "Go ahead...pet him..." I said to Gaara. He just glared at me. I sighed and looked away. "So...do you wanna watch a movie?" I asked and looked over at Gaara. "No..." He said coldly. "O-oh...okay..." I sighed. It was silent for a minute or two. "So...uh...do you wanna watch something else?" I asked Gaara. "Whatever..." Gaara said. "Anything's better then watching something about a whale..." I flipped through the channels and nothing good was on so I just turned off the T.V. and stared at the blank screen boredly. Just then my mom and little sister came walking through the door, and my dad walked in too. 'He must have gotten home at the same time my mom and Jana did...' I thought. "Um...Daddy...this is Gaara..." I said nervously. My dad doesn't like Gaara at all, and I think he knows that I have...well...a crush on Gaara, so I'm afraid of how he'll act towards him. "Hey Gaara. How's the chakra?" My dad said. I started laughing hysterically. Gaara looked at my dad as if he were a crazy person.

An hour later I realized that tomorrow is the first day of school, so I decided to go take a shower so that I might have a better reputation at Middle School then I did in Elementary School. When I got out of the shower it was 6:39 PM. I walked to my room and opened the door, only to see that Gaara was sitting on my bed reading one of my Naruto mangas. He looked up at me. I blushed because I was only wearing a towel around me because I couldn't find my bath robe. "U-um...Gaara...c-could leave my room for a second so I can get dressed?" I asked. Gaara didn't say anything, but he put down the manga and walked out of my room. I quickly closed the door and got dressed. "You can come in now!" I yelled to Gaara. He walked in. Just then the phone rang and I answered it. "Hello." I said. "Hey." Said my friend Angel. "You ready for school tomorrow?" "No...I'm really scared..." I said. "You'll never believe this but Gaara appeared in my room last night!" "You're crazy..." Angel said. "No really! Listen!" I held the phone up to Gaara. "Uh...hi..." He said. "Hi." Angel said. "See!" I said. "I told you he was real!" Me and Angel talked till 9:09. Then my mom told me to get off the phone and go to bed. "My mom told me to get off the phone..." I said. "I'll talk to you tomorrow. Bye." "Bye." Angel said. Then we hung up and I crawled into my bed and went to sleep.
