The New Boy At School, A GaaSaku Story

Chapter 6

"Ask out the girl you like by midnight tonight!" Temari smiled at her brother innocently but Gaara just crossed his arms and closed his eyes to avoid looking her. "Well, thats a lame dare. I don't like anybody. So, come up with another one." Temari looked to Kankuro who was snickering. "Sorry, Gaara. But that dare is your dare. Now spin the bottle before I clonk it over your head." Gaara wasn't letting this go, but he opened his eyes, staring right at his brother with a glare that unfortunately can't kill. "Idiots. I don't like anybody so give me a new dare."

Ino poked the side of Gaara's head, which earned a raised-eyebrow 'wtf' look. "What do you want?" Ino snickered and poked his forehead. "Guys who like someone would ask for a new dare. Especially ones that don't want that someone to find out. If you didn't like someone you would have just taken the dare and not have done it. Soooooooo... Who is it!?" Gaara hn'ed and used sand to get this odd blond out of his face, putting her on the other side of the room. "I don't like anybody. I just want a decent dare!"

But what sucks... Is she's right. Damn it!

Heheheh. You should just drop it and ask the cutie out.

Shut up! Gaara groaned and stood up, quickly stomping off to his room, which caused Temari and Kankuro to bust out laughing. "We where right we where right! Gaara's got a crush! Gaara's got an- Omigod!!!" Sakura bit her lip, sighing. "That was mean..." Everyone suddenly stared at her and she put her hands up in front of her. "I'm just sayin'." Sakura stood up and went into the kitchen. She opened the cooler and grabbed a can of Dr. Pepper. Temari, still snickering got up and walked over to the pinkette. "You like Dr. Pepper?" Sakura looked up. "Uh, yes. It's my favorite... Why?" Temari smiled. "It's Gaara's too... Can you take one up to him and tell him we're sorry?"

Sakura slightly jumped, but nodded and grabbed one. Of course... Why me...? He's probably pissed... Great. Everyone watched Sakura walk up the stairs with the two cans of soda. She used her knuckle to knock on the door. "Gaara? Temari told me to bring something up for you and tell you they're sorry." Gaara rolled his eyes and pushed himself up off his bed, absolutely paying no attention to who's voice was on the other side of the door.

He opened the door, but froze when he saw the familure outfit. "S-Sakura?" Sakura gulped to herself and held out the unopened can. "Here, Temari told me it was your favorite. Want me to come in? I'm pretty sure you don't want to go down." She smiled friendly as he took the can hesitantly from her. Gaara looked up at her, all anger and meanness from his eyes vanished, which surprised Sakura. Gaara took a deep breath and stood to the side, letting Sakura in. But looking around the door frame he glared at his siblings, who where watching, and closed the door.

Sakura set her can down on the small glass table and looked around. He actually has a very interesting room... Not at all what I expected. Gaara sighed and opened his can, taking a gulp before setting it down. "Sorry about... Stomping off like that." Sakura jumped lightly, staring at him. Okay. What they did was either really bad... Or he changed a lot in the last 24 hours...? "You have never been here before but it usually happens once or twice a day. As you've seen I have a temper and, well..." Sakura smirked. "Let it get the best of you. Trust me, I know. I used to be the same way." Gaara blinked, his face blank. "Really?" Sakura nodded. "Yeah. It's hard to believe someone like me... Used to have a temper, huh?" Gaara tilted his head. "Kinda."

Temari was still on the stairs, trying to hear them. But eventually Kankuro grabbed her arm and pulled her back down. "Aw but I could almost kinda hear them!" Kankuro smirked. "And thats exactly why your not going to be listening anymore." Kankuro dragged Temari back down and the two of them sat back in the circle.

"Is Sakura-Chan okay!? He's not hurting her is he? Oh if he is I'll..." "Don't worry. I have a feeling she is just fine..." Kankuro smiled and sighed comfortably. But Naruto wasn't convinced. Ino rolled her eyes and grabbed his hand, pulling him into the kitchen. "Baka! You don't understand anything do you!?" Naruto tilted his head. "What are you talking about, Ino?" Ino face palmed and sighed. "It's obvious who likes who around here, so just drop it and let the subject be... Whatever it is! Just stop talking about it. I'm sure they'll come down eventually." Naruto narrowed his eyes in confusion. But Ino just shook her head. "You... Are so stupid... Never mind!"

Ino flailed her arms in confusion and Naruto just walked back to Hinata, still confused. "A-are you okay Naruto-Kun? You l-look like your confused about something?" Naruto blinked, still trying to figure out what Ino means. "I am. But I think I'll get the joke eventually..." Ino smirked and sighed, shaking her head. Kankuro looked up to the group. "So what now? We could continue our game without them or find something else to do?" Temari suddenly gasped. "We could watch movies! Though I do have to bake some cookies... I promised Gaara I would if he played. Which he did." Ino smiled, jumping to her feet. "Oh thats a great idea! Lets watch a comedy first and then watch horrors later when we have everyone down here." Temari got to her feet, nodding. "Oh thats a great idea, Ino! Let me go get some movies from my room!" Temari ran off, Kankuro smirked, and Naruto was still confused.

"No way! You like Linkin Park too? They're one of my favorite bands!" Sakura was going through Gaara's iPod out of curiosity. He sat beside her on the bed, watching as she went through his hundreds of songs. He smiled in response and nodded. "Yeah. One of my favorites, too. I like Three Days Grace, too." Sakura gasped and looked up at him. "No way!" He is so cool! I didn't think he was just like me!

Looks like a match made in heaven.

Sakura mentally sighed. Maybe... Wait, what am I thinking!?

What I'm making you think. Heheh.

"What are you staring at?" Sakura shook her head and averted her eyes back to the dark red iPod in her hands. "N-nothing..." Gaara blinked, still staring at her face. That was odd... But I didn't get mad because someone was staring at me? But she didn't stare at me with those same eyes... Hmm...

"Now what are you staring at?" Sakura giggled as Gaara jumped, then nervously laughed. "Um.. Nothing." Gaara felt his cellphone vibrate in his pocket and took it out. Hey Sakura, he has the same phone as you. Different color, though.

Thats so creepy! But so cool!

Gaara read the text and sighed, closing his phone and putting it away. "They want me to go back down there. They're watching movies now. Some comedy." Sakura smiled. "Well? Do you want to go down there?" Sakura grabbed her can and took a sip, playing with the cap. "Not really... I'm actually having fun for once." Sakura couldn't help but smile. Wow... He's actually having fun because I'm here? "Well, we don't have to go back down. Though..." She laughed lightly as she shook around her can. "I am out of Dr. Pepper." Gaara smirked and grabbed his, sighing lightly. "So am I." He grabbed hers lightly, a chill sent up his spine when he accidentally touched her hand. Wh-whoa... Her hand is so warm... Sakura jumped lightly, staring down at her hand once he took the Dr. Pepper can. W-wow... His hand was so cold... Gaara shook the chill off then stood up. "I'll go get us some more." Sakura nodded, watching him go out the door. Then turned towards the TV, which she forgot was on.

"Gaara! You actually came down!" Gaara stopped in his tracks and slowly looked over. "No. I just came down to get more Dr. Pepper..." Temari frowned and signed. "Come on, Gaara! Why do you insist on staying up there?" Gaara pulled two more cans out of the cooler and hn'ed, rolling his eyes. "Because Temari. You told me to have a good time. I am. Now let me." Temari blinked. Gaara... Good time? Having? In the same sentence!? Good lord Sakura must be good to do this to Gaara... Hmm... Temari gave up and shrugged. "Whatever you say, little brother. Go have fun." Gaara rolled his eyes and quickly came back up the stairs. Temari sighed, totally happy in her theory. "Kankuro?" He looked over. "What?" She sighed lightly. "Gaara's got a friend."

Note: Hope you enjoyed but I got bored of writing, this chapter took me so long for some reason. I may or may not have the next one up tonight.
