Wrong Side of the tracks Ch 13
Monday morning at school Sasori found himself walking down the hallway back to his locker. He had grabbed the wrong book for class and was now on his way to switch them out. He happened to glance up and notice Deidara at his own locker.
He watched as Deidara put in the combination again only to have it fail him again. He stomped childishly and put his head against his locker. Sasori took a step to leave the blonde to his fate but then he somehow couldn't resist.
He walked over and grabbed Deidara's shoulder lightly pulling him away from the locker. "What is your combination?" Sasori asked looking at the blond who stood glaring at the red head.
"Why would I tell you?" Deidara asked haughtily. Sasori shrugged as if to say 'You're on your own' and turned to leave. Deidara watched as Sasori began to walk away and bit his lip. Then with a sigh he called out to him. "Okay, I will tell you."
Sasori turned around and headed back to Deidara's locker. He put his hand on the combination lock and waited expectantly. "It's 16, 5 and 32." Deidara mumbled. Sasori entered the combination and on the first try it opened.
Deidara looked at Sasori wide eyed. "How did you do that?" He asked looking from the locker to Sasori. Sasori shrugged.
"Magic, I guess." Sasori turned around to leave and go to his own locker. He was just about to turn the corner and he heard Deidara say something. "What was that?" He asked.
"I said thank you." Deidara blushed and looked away as Sasori smiled.
"Why, you're very welcome." He said almost tauntingly. Deidara glared at Sasori but his back was already turned. He sighed and turned back to his locker. He grabbed his book and headed to class.
Down the hall and around the corner Sasori opened his own locker and switched his books. He turned and headed for his own class once more. He didn't see any sign of the blond and he smiled slightly to himself.
He walked into his class room and went to sit in his seat. That was when he noticed that half of "Kings Court" was in this class. Deidara being one of them. He had never paid any attention to anyone in his class.
The teacher rambled on about tardiness and that was when Sasori realized that Deidara was being chewed out by the teacher for being late. Sasori raised his hand and the teacher turned to him.
"It was my fault. My locker was jammed and I made him help me get it open." Sasori said in his most convincing voice ever. The teacher frowned and glared at the red head.
"Next time get it opened earlier, Sasori." She said. She turned back to the board and Sasori glanced at Deidara. The blond was sitting there with a mixture of looks as he eyed the red head.
Class was finally over and Sasori left class quickly. He had a few minutes and he wanted to go sit on the roof for a little bit. He was the only one who did that at this time it seemed. He liked it for the solitude.
He no sooner got to the roof and he was joined by the blond. He turned around to look at the blond and was about to ask why he was following him when Deidara held up a hand. "Why did you tell the teacher that?" He asked suspiciously.
"I saw how she was embarrassing you. You have a good social standing, I don't. It was obvious what needed to be done." Sasori shrugged and turned away to look out over the city. Deidara walked up to where the red head stood and looked out.
He gasped slightly and Sasori turned to look at him. "Haven't you ever been up here?" Sasori asked. Deidara shook his head no. He hadn't expected it to be so nice up here. HE looked at Sasori and began to wonder about the boy next to him.
Sasori sat down on one of the roof caps. He pulled out a pocket knife and a piece of wood from his pocket. Deidara was about to scoff when he realized the wood was a butterfly being shaped. He eyed it for a few moments. "That's pretty good." He said as he watched Sasori start to whittle it some more.
"Thank you. Its just a pass time." Sasori said. Deidara sat down on a different roof cap and watched mesmerized by Sasori's skill. He was so caught up that the bell rang and he jumped to his feet and cursed.
He looked back to Sasori who just sat there not making any attempt to leave. "The bell rang. Aren't you going to class?" Deidara asked. Sasori looked up and shook his head.
Deidara gave him a weird look and stepped towards the door. "You're actually going to Ditch class?" He asked in an uncertain voice. Sasori looked up from his sculpture once more and nodded. Deidara bit his lip and was about to leave again.
Then he turned around and watched as Sasori continued to whittle the wood. He thought for a moment and then walked back over and sat back down by Sasori. Sasori looked up and eyed the blond a moment. Wow the blond had more guts then he thought. He smiled to himself as he and Deidara skipped class together on the roof.
