Chapter Four
I sighed with frustration as I stared down at my Nokia E63, why isn't he answering his phone! I thought angrily.
Just recently in Recess, I heard Shikamarus bestfriend Choji say that Shikamaru had jigged school, for some 'unknown' reason, this made me even more guilty so I had tried calling him, but it was useless. He wasn't answering his phone.
"Fine, I'll let him be a drama queen" I muttered agressively as I turned off my phone and shoved it in my pocket roughly.
"Hey...I'm new here and I was wondering if you could show me around" A strange monotone voice said.
I looked up to find myself looking at the 'new kid', he looked exactly like...Sasuke, but his hair was shorter, he didn't look as well-built and he had a strange...air about him that made me raise an eyebrow at in suspicion.
He stood there emotionless, waiting for me to show him around I guess, so I took a deep breath and introduced myself.
"Hey, I'm Temari and yeah, I'll show you around"
"Thats great" He said with a big smile, to anyone else that couldn't read peoples expressions it would have looked like your average genuine grin, but no, Temari saw through this sharade, it was a big fake grin. It looked...almost real, his eyes gave him away though, they didn't brighten up like Narutos did when he grinned.
I shook myself out of those thoughts and said, "So, what's your name?"
He put his hands in his pockets and walked alongside me, as we walked down a path that would lead to the cafeteria, which was where everyone ate at Recess, he looked up at the sky as he answered, "Sai, Just Sai"
"Interesting, so talk about yourself so I can analyse you accurately" I stated while looked over at him from the corner of my eye.
"I have black hair that reminds me of charcoal, my eyes are black and lifeless as usual, my voice is without emotion, sadly, I live on my own, My brother died a few months back, I like to paint with Ink and I'm your average homosexual, is that enough information?" He answered somewhat boredly, as he looked over at me aswell from the corner of his eyes.
My eyes widened slightly as I took in all of this, after a few sew seconds of just looking at eachother from the corner of our eyes, I blurted out the most embarrasing thing I'd ever said in my life, "Are you on top or bottom?"
Sai's eyes widened slightly then smiled...a true genuine smile that made me smile in return, he gave me his full attention then and said huskily, "Depends on the guy"
I smirked at this and said, "Do you want a guy?"
"Sure"
"Well, I'll introduce you to my friend Naruto, how does that sound?"
"That sounds just fine" he replied.
I opened the double doors, it was like a jungle in there, teenagers chasing other teenagers, people throwing food across the cafeteria and back, some kids were actually sitting under the tables, I looked around the cafeteria until my eyes fell onto a table at the back of the cafeteria, where I could spot, Tay,Hina,Naruto,Choji and Kimimaro sitting.
"This way" I directed as I wrapped my hand around his bony wrist so I could lead him to the table full of my friends.
When we reached the table, Tay was grinning with mischief as she stared at Sai's chest since he was only wearing a loose fitting jacket that was open and a pair of black jeans, Hinata blushed shyly as she tried to think of a way to greet the newcomer, Naruto stared in awe as he looked over Sai's body, Choji smiled politely but went straight back to eating his barbeque flavoured chips and Kimimaro didn't even take notice of Sai, since he was too busy looking at Tays chest.
"Hey guys, this is Sai" I introduced happily.
Sai put his hand up in a somewhat lazy wave, as he did this his jeans slipped abit at the hip, showing alot of his abdomen, which made Naruto drool unceremoniously.
Sai smirked teasingly as he looked into Narutos eyes and said, "So you must be Naruto"
Naruto gulped as he tried to find his voice, before he could say anything Sai had already made his way over to Naruto and sat on his lap while slinging his arms around his neck, pressing there bodies together, Naruto stiffened with delight as he watched as Sai leaned forward to whisper something in his ear that sounded like, 'I want to be yours, will you be mine?'.
Everyone at the table stared in shock at the two openly displaying their affections for eachother in public, before they could register what was happening, Sai and Naruto were kissing passionately as though they had known eachother for years on end.
I sighed happily as I looked on at the couple, How cute, and I'm so relieved that Naruto is finally happy.
I looked down at my jeans to see the faint lines of phone moving, then I started to feel a vibrating sensation on my thigh, my phone must have been on silent so I pulled out my phone to find that I had a new message so I opened it.
I stared down in shock as I looked at what was sent to me, it was a message from Gaara that said:
Tem, i'm srry for gettin angry at chu and stuff, dw bout me i'm just at Baki's kk. Cya 2nite.
I wonder why he is over at Bakis? Baki was like a father to me and my brothers, especially when my father was sent to jail for trying to kill Gaara, Baki was always there for us when we needed him, he wasn't even related to us, he was just our neighbour but when I had called him desperatety for help he came to rescue Gaara from my fathers abusive ways. I've always felt grateful to that man.
I sighed as I looked at my friends once again, Naruto and Sai were still having their make out session, Hinata was looking away shyly, Tay was practically drooling all over herself as she watched two guys go at eachothers mouths like they were desperate for water or something, Choji and Kimimaro had gotten over the shock at witnessing to gay guys kissing in public and went back to other important deeds such as eating a packet of chips and read a magazine on tattoos.
I walked over to where Hinata was sitting and whispered in her ear so only she could hear me, "Hina, I'm gonna go...I need to go do something, here are the keys, I trust that you'll return my baby in good shape, Don't worry about me, I'll see you later on tonight, okay?"
She nodded absentmindedly as she took my keys and put them in her pocket as she watched me dissappear through the crowd of people and out of the double doors that led to outside.
I began to walk in any direction, I didn't really know where I was going, I just knew that I wanted to be alone with my thoughts on what had happened this morning between me, Sasuke and Shikamaru.
I found a nice clearing at the back of the school, I layed down on the soft green grass and stared up at the sky full of white fluffy clouds, I remembered how many times me and Shikamaru would jig a lesson and come outside to watch the clouds together.
I smiled to myself as I remembered all of our good times together, I closed my eyes leaving me alone in my own little darkness that I created for myself.
I wonder what Sasuke wanted to talk to me about and why is Shikamaru ignoring my phone calls, I just want to tell him that nothing happened between me and the Uchiha! Boys were so confusing at times, I thought gloomily as I opened my eyes slowly.
I pulled out my phone to check the time, it was just 1 minute til lunch so I stood up, brushed away the grass on my jeans and began to walk back to the cafeteria which would be full of students once again, hungry for the lunch specials.
Just as I was about to open the double door and find my friends, a deep male voice from behind me stopped me in my tracks instantly.
"Why weren't you in class?"
I turned around and eyed Sasuke, he looked confused and sort of nervous so I replied none too politely, "Why do you care?"
He looked surprised at my answer, he probably wasn't use to people talking to him like that so before I let him get over his shock I opened the doors and walked towards my friends that were sitting at the same table from Recess.
Hinata looked up from her lunch and smiled at me with concern whilst Tay sat there texting someone on her phone madly, Kimimaro wasn't at the table this time, I could just spot him at another table, deep in conversation with a guy whose name I couldn't remember, Choji was sitting next to Hinata staring hungrily at her plastic container full of honey chicken and Naruto and Sai were making out once again, I guess they're in love.
I sat down in the empty seat next to Naruto who was too busy making out with Sai to say hello, I opened my bag to get out my ham and cheese sandwhich I had hurriedly made this morning, I began to eat my sandwich quietly as I looked on at my weird bunch of friends.
I heard someone sit down in the empty seat beside me, so I looked to my left expecting anyone but him, but no, Sasuke sat down beside me with a cautious smile before he looked at Naruto and Sai behind me which made his expression one of disgust.
"Do you mind? I'm not sure about you two, but I don't want to watch aids being transferred from mouths" He sneered while glaring at Naruto and Sai.
This made me angry, very angry, so angry that I stood from my chair and glared down at Sasuke, so angry that I pulled back my fist ready to punch him in the face, so angry that I didn't care that everyone was about to watch me punch the shit out of Sasuke Uchiha, so angry that...I was stopped?
I looked back to find Sai grabbing hold of my wrist, halting my expected actions. I raised an eyebrow at him with confusion, he smiled slightly, a real smile at that and said firmly, "Don't worry about it, Hun"
I looked back at Sasuke and shook my head with disbelief, I looked over at Naruto who was looking down at his lap, he looked very...distant. I walked over to Naruto and gave him a hug, leaving Sai to glaring at Sasuke, I whispered gently into his ear, "Don't worry about that jerk, Naru, your so much better than that"
Naruto hugged me back while thanking me by kissing my cheek, he pulled back so he could stand up and go stand next to Sai, he grabbed his hand and looked at Sasuke expectantly, waiting for a dirty remark or something along those lines.
When the remark didn't come as expected, Naruto looked over at Sai and said, "Lets get out of here"
Sai smiled slighty as he followed Naruto through the crowd of people, I smiled as I watched their retreating figures leave through the double doors, and to make matters even better, my phone rang, and the callers name was Shikamaru.
I contemplated about just ignoring the call like he did to mine, but then again this could be the last chance I get to talk him so I answered my phone with a casual voice, "Hey"
"Hey" his lazy voice greeted tiredly, I swear he is the laziest person on Earth.
It was quiet for a moment, it wasn't one of those awkwards silences on the phone when you don't know wha to say, it was more like a pleasant silence that no one minds, just enjoying eachothers company, even though we weren't next to eachother.
"So, what are you doing?" He asked with interest laced in his words.
"Just sitting down, about to finish my ham and cheese sandwhich, guess what?"
"What?"
"We've got a new kid, his name is Sai, he's pretty cool and it seems that Naruto and Sai have hit it off pretty well" I gushed excitedly.
"Yeah?"
"Yeah, thats pretty much it"
"So, whats up with you and the Uchiha" he stated, I knew that he was serious because of the way his voice sounded more awake and aware.
I sighed into the phone, I looked up to find Sasuke gazing at me curiously, as I looked at him I answered into the phone with confusion laced into my words, "Nothing, he's just been...acting weird ever since...last night"
There was silence, my eyes widened with realisation at my words, I hadn't meant for it to meant that! Before I could rearrange my words into a different context he had already hung up.
I looked down at my phone with anger, I was angry at myself for not thinking before I had said anything. I turned off my phone with a sigh as I looked over at Sasuke who was in deep thought, I looked over at Hinata and asked her for my keys back, she nodded while throwing my keys at me.
"I'll be back to pick you up, Hina" I said before I made my way through the crowds of people acting like animals, I reached the double doors in one piece, I walked out of the cafeteria and walked over to my car.
I opened the drivers side door and got in, I threw my bag in the back and started up the car. I reversed out of the parking lot, I looked at the rearview mirror to check my surroundings and saw Sasuke standing there with confusion, I thought about running him over but instead I just stopped and waited for him to move, which he didn't so I pulled down my window irritably.
He walked over to my window and leaned against its frame while asking angrily, "Where do you think your going?"
I glared at him while saying or more like yelling, "It's none of your business you stupid, Homophobe"
His eyes widened with hurt, he mumbled something under his breath and turned away from me as though he were ashamed? I looked closely at his facial expression and found no guilt or sadness, just pure ignorance.
I sighed with frustration and finally said, "I need to go find my boyfriend, so if you wouldn't mind, lay off and go away"
This made him look at me straight away, his facial expression was of pure fury, jealously and he had a greedy glint in his eyes like he wanted to snatch me away and put me up on top a shelf so no one could find me. I looked straight forward now, hands on the steering wheel, right foot poised at the accelorator pedal.
Sasuke must have known I was minutes away from leaving the school so he hurriedly said before I could do anything, "All I wanted to tell you today was, Thanks"
I looked over at him with a raised eyebrow before I pressed my foot against the pedal so I could take off out of the school and forget about his words.
Maybe, I should go visit Baki and Gaara first before I go see Shikamaru...I thought as I turned left into a street called Rosemary Drive.
