"Next week we will start writing a research paper at the end of every chapter we complete" our snake-eyed sensei starts.
The class groans loudly, I the loudest, I hate writing stupid research papers.
Ignoring us he continues, now combing his silky black hair, "On my desk there is a stack of packets describing exactly how I want this paper done, there is no room for creativity, I want it in this specific format. One member of the group needs to come up and get it."
I look around and stand up, naturally, as the leader, I should get it.
"Not you Uzumaki." Our creepy sensei hisses, finally looking up from his mirror to point a pale finger at Sasuke.
I open my mouth to protest, then catch a glimpse of Gaara, staring at me.
"Fine, saves me the trouble of having to walk all the way over there." I sit back down, watching our teachers eyes follow Sasuke all the way to the desk and back before going back to his hair.
Kami-sama that guy is creepy!
The Uchiha goes back to glaring at Gaara, who doesn't seem to notice. The classroom goes quiet.
The quiet makes me feel uneasy, I stand up suddenly.
"So, why are we in groups, Sensei?"
"Cant you read?"
"Huh?"
I flip through the thick packet till I reach the last page entitled 'Why We Are In Groups'.
Why we are in groups
Follow the guidelines in the above pages about how to craft a research paper.
Partner up with each person in you group at a time, write a paper following the format about there lives.
Turn it in next Friday; if it is late, it is a zero. There will be no exceptions unless your last name is uchiha, then we can work something out. 3
Be quiet and start immediately.
"I call Naruto first." Sasuke nearly growls, still glaring at a certain redhead.
"No way." I protest.
I don't feel like dealing with that damn cockatoo head today.
"I'll do you, and Gaara will do Hinata, how about that." He smiles.
The girls silver eyes widened.
"I'm doing Naruto." Gaara finally looked up.
"Okay! Well then I guess Sasuke and Hinata can work together then." I practically leap out of my seat with joy.
Sasuke continued to glare at Gaara, who's stood up and moved back to his seat, with me grinning behind him.
I take the seat in front of him, grinning. He remains silent.
I wait, still grinning. He remains silent.
The silence makes me uneasy, very uneasy.
"start." He finally says.
I nearly jump out of my seat again.
'I'm so happy; he's talking so much to me today'
'Only because he has to'
'Do you have to try and ruin everything???'
'Naturally.'
"Umm… okay. So do you want to go first, or do you want me to go first?"
I wait nervously for an answer; he sure does take his time.
"Doesn't matter." He simply replies.
"Umm… okay… well, do you feel like asking questions, or answering them?"
"After school, come with me."
"Huh??"
"To work on it."
I try to piece together what he was saying, and then it hits me.
'Kami-sama! Did Gaara really just INVITE ME OVER?!?!?!?!'
I try to remind myself that its just to work on a project and to calm down, because people are starting to stare. Gaara doesn't seem to notice though.
"Sure, that sounds… great."
'More like AMAZING!'
Gaara just stays quite after that, the class period ends without us getting anything done.
I follow him in silence.
"Bright."
He covers his eyes as we walk, I pull out a pare of Iruka's shades from my back pack and hand them to him. He stops and inspects them for about five minutes before actually putting them on.
Their way to big for his small face.
For the first time Gaara actually looks pretty….cute?
We stop walking in front of a HUGE four story house, and I turn to Gaara who is fishing through his pockets for something…. Keys?
"Wait…. This is YOUR house?!?"
"…yes."
"oh."
