A/N: I'm back :o And since this fic seems to be going nowhere and has no actual plot, I figured I might as well throw in some random house party :D! Every teen needs a crazy party once in a while, right? X)
Disclaimer: Blah-dey blah, don't own.
Welcome to Life Chapter 13 – House Party (Part 1) GAARA POV"Let's crash Naruto's party."
We all look at Haku incredulously.
"Us, at Naruto's party? Yeah right." Neji snorts.
Sakura stands up, strikes a dramatic pose and grins. "Let's do it."
"HELL YEAH!" Deidara screams, punching the sky for effect.
"I can get us all in." Sasuke offers.
"I can intimidate people if something goes wrong."
…
"Um, yeah. Thanks Zabby, let's go!" and with that, Haku waltzes out of the room, no planning necessary.
Oh dear Lord, what have I gotten myself into?
TIME CHANGE
I fall out of Zabuza's car. He's agreed not to drink so we'll all have a ride home. I stare up at Naruto's house and let my jaw drop. There are lights flashing crazily, music blasting out at full volume and…is that smoke coming out of the upstairs room?
Naruto and I used to be really good friends. We did everything together when we were kids. When we started at high school he realised that I probably wasn't going to fit in and ditched me, along with his bright orange tracksuit and senses. We don't really speak any more, but he tolerates me a lot better than the other kids. I forgive him for ditching me, even if it was extremely shallow.
"Earth to Gaara, yeah."
I shake my head and notice Deidara standing in front of me, fringe obstructing his view. I'm still in daydream land and ask him a question before I can stop myself.
"Isn't that fringe annoying?"
"It itches a bit…"
"No, I mean, how do you see?"
"Oh, it doesn't matter." He lifts the hair up, "Blind in one eye, yeah. Since birth."
"Oh! I'm sorry."
"S'okay." He grins, "Now let's PAR-TAY!" He grabs my wrist and drags me up to the door, where the rest of the gang is waiting.
Haku knocks enthusiastically on the door and steps back. Ino answers, dressed in a slutty, low-cut top and a mini skirt. She narrows her eyes at us.
"Who the fuck invited you lot?"
How rude.
Sasuke steps forward, "They're with me."
Ino's eyes light up and she flicks her hair over her shoulder 'seductively'. Haha.
"Oh, Sasuke! I didn't see you there! Come in, but why don't you lose the freaks first?"
"Those 'freaks' are my friends. Now move."
Ino follows orders, giggling stupidly. I nod my head slightly as I pass her. I can't help it! Temari brought me up with manners.
The music is so loud, I can hardly hear Ino and Sakura's argument behind me. Sasuke entwines his fingers with mine and leads me over to a seat while I glance around with a dazed look on my face. I've never been to a party like this before! Sasuke sits down and pulls me down onto his lap.
"Time for some people watching." He shouts over the noise.
Neji and Deidara are making a beeline for the alcohol. Figures. Haku has pulled Zabuza to the dance floor and is dancing around him while Zabuza taps his foot. I think that's his version of 'boogying on down' or something. Sakura is still arguing with Ino and I see Neji's cousin, Hinata taking sneaky glances at her and blushing. Whoa. This could be interesting.
Sasuke pulls me back against him. "I'm gonna go and talk to some people, okay?"
I nod and stand up. I think I'm going to attempt some matchmaking.
I dance my way across the room (it's easier than trying to push my way through them all) until I reach Sakura and Ino. I, rather skilfully, shove Ino into some sexy upperclassman and they immediately start making out. Argument abandoned.
"Awww! Gaara!" Sakura whines, "I was having a decent fight with that pig!"
"Yeah, well, you've got an admirer."
"Who? Who?" She stands on her tiptoes and tries to spot her unknown admirer. I bet she thinks it's a guy.
"Hinata Hyuuga."
Sakura glares at me and grabs my shoulders, "You know I don't swing that way right?"
I shrug, "You could try it just once."
She purses her lips, spins me around and pushes me in the mass of gyrating bodies. I'll take that as a "no" then.
Some girl is trying to grind against me. I'm disturbed. It's stupid really, a lot of people here are strangers, yet they still practically have sex on the dance floor. Eugh. I bet most of these people wouldn't touch me with a bargepole if they weren't completely smashed.
"GAARA? GAAAAAAARAAAAAAAAAAAA!" I know that voice, it's Temari! I look around and spot a crazy, blonde girl waving wildly from the stairs. I make a dive through a space free of dancing teens and join her.
"Hey! I didn't know you were going to be here!"
"Neither did I." I groan.
"Cheer up emo kid!" she slurs. Oh dear. She's been drinking.
"Temari, are you-"
"Kankuro's here somewhere!"
"Oh…"
"Guess who I just got off with?"
"Half the school?"
"Nuh-uh! It was Itachi! You know, Sasuke's older brother?"
"He's a scumbag Temari. You should be careful."
"Yeah, yeah. Anyway, I gotta go. Catch you on the flip side!"
Oh she's definitely drunk.
She wobbles upstairs a bit, then turns around. "Don't come home too early, eh?" She winks sloppily and carries on.
I'm slightly worried about her, but she's tough and can defiantly hold her own. To be honest, I'm more concerned about Kankuro. He gets completely piss-drunk and has no idea what he's doing.
I watch the dancers from the stairs for a moment. I catch sight of Sasuke talking to someone I vaguely recognise and beating girls away. Chuckling to myself, I go in the direction Temari went.
Once in the hallway, I'm greeted with the sight of Neji and Deidara attempting to lure some good-looking, blond boy into the closet with them. Neji spies me and motions for me to come over. I comply.
"Wanna join us?" I can tell he's drunk too.
"No thanks." I laugh, backing up.
Deidara hiccups. "Your loss." He grabs the boy (who was probably straight until now) and Neji by the arm and pulls them into the closet, shutting the door behind them.
I turn around the find a huge, blue guy leering at me. Hold on…blue? It must just be the lighting.
"Hi sexy. If you're not going to join them, how about me?"
That was probably the worst chat up line I've ever heard. I look up at him wide-eyed when I realise he's serious and attempt to run past him.
A body blocks my way.
The body of Itachi Uchiha.
He smiles and a shiver runs down my spine.
Bollocks.
