SFT-here the next chapter guys, forgive me for my spelling mistakes

Gaara- she dose not own Naruto

CH.3:Please be my friend

Gaara was leaning against the school wall staring into space whiles tugging on his uniform sleeve trying to cover up his fresh bruises from last night's beating. It was the sound of laughter that broke him from his absentmindedly staring. He looked to see what was the course of the laughter, he panicked when he saw Sasuke group, he quickly joined the crowed of student trying to avoid the black-haired boy at all cost. Gaara made to join the crowed to get to his class but something caught his eye...pink it was there but then it was gone. He looked wildly around trying to find the pink again but it was not there anymore, he gave up and just proceeded on his way.

Gaara was thankful when he made it to his desk without running into. He saw Sasuke walk in and take a seat with the rest of his friends. Gaara avoided eye contact with the black-haired boy so as not to attract attention. But Sasuke did look at him and smirked, Gaara cursed his luck, but it seemed luck was on his side because before Sasuke could make his move the teacher walked in.

"Okay class we have a new student" the teacher spoke but the door opened interrupting him from continuing, and it was the pretty pink haired umbrella girl. All the students in classes were whispering with each other about the girl.

Gaara eyes widened 'it's the girl from yesterday' he thought in shock.

The teacher cleared his throat, the class quieted down he then addressed the green-eyed girl "please introduce yourself to your fellow students".

She didn't look pleased but nodded her head before looking to the class "my name is Haruno Sakura, I'm from Konoha and I wish to become a doctor" she finished her mini introduction. Then looked at the teacher to where she could sit?

"Oh, you can pick one of the empty seats that are available" he pointed to some of the empty seats.

Gaara eyes never left the girl...well Sakura now that he knew what her name was. He watched as she made her way down the rows off desks, passing all the boys who wanted her to sit next to them but she passed them, even Sasuke who sat there smugly thinking she wanted to sit next to him but she passed the Uchiha making the boy eyes widened in shock. But he was not as shocked as Gaara was when she chose to sit next to the red head.

Gaara didn't know what to think? As he kept on casting glances at Sakura who was staring straight ahead at the teacher who was giving a lecture on the events of the school. He didn't understand what was going on, 'why is she sitting next to someone like me? Also why did she give me her umbrella?' He looked at her a little too long because she looked right at him. Gaara whole face turned red, he felt embarrassment fill him. He expected her to glare at him but she didn't instead she gave him a soft smile, Gaara breath hitched at it, no one and he means no one has ever smiled at him, so when he found himself returning it timidly, he was floored.

Sakura was aware of the red head stare from the beginning she walked into the class room to when she sat next to him 'I didn't know he would be in this class' she thought. When he blushed adorable shade of red, she couldn't help but smile at him and was surprised when he smiled back. She could tell he didn't smile that much on how timid it was and she knew why he didn't smile so much. Her mind flashed back to when she gave the razor to him and to when she gave him the umbrella. There was so much sadness in those teal eyes. She looked at her hand that brushed against his when she gave him the umbrella. She remembered the shock that ran up her hand and the butterfly feeling she had. It took her by surprise, so much so she ran like a coward. After she was away from him, she felt bad realising what she did. She had left him all alone, when he needed someone at that moment. 'But he won't be alone anymore' she thought determinedly.

Gaara realised through the day that Sakura was in most of his classes and she had always chosen to sit next to him passing up all the seats other boys offer to her. He didn't know what to think of it? He was not blind, he knew Sakura was attractive. But the question is why him? They was nothing great about him? He was broken, he had too many problems to count and he didn't know how to social's like most normal people do. So why him?Why...why save him.

When lunch approached Gaara made his way to the same spot he spent it, the school roof. He pulled out a black book and began writing in it, writing all his feeling and thoughts on those pages. He was so deep into his writing he didn't realise someone standing over him.

"You're really good" a soft voice said. Gaara jumped out of his skin dropping his black book to the floor, he made to grab it but a familiar hand beat him to it. Sakura dusted the book off and handed it back to Gaara. "So, what's your name?" She asked wanting know who he was?

Gaara held his book tight in his against his cheat, but answered the tiny girl "G...Gaara".

Sakura tilted her head and hummed to herself before sitting next to him. His voice was husky and his name unique just like his appearance, it suited him, she decides to make idle chatter with him "so do you sing?".

Gaara blinked and shifted unconformable not use to people talking to him never mind a pretty girl. But he didn't want to be rude and for her to leave 'I also want to know what's going through her head about me?' he thought, "n...no I mean, ye...yes" he stuttering out his answer.

Sakura brightened at this "can you sing for me?".

Gaara teal eyes widened at this, he shook his head profusely "no I can't".

Her face fell into disappointment "oh" was all she could mutter out.

The male teen didn't like the fact he had upset the only person who had been kind to him. 'I will never know why she helped me if she leaves?' so he quickly came up with something partly honest "I... I'm not too comfortable singing to strangers".

She let out a soft laugh "stranger hmm?" she then tilted her head to the side again and winks at him "we have to change that, now won't we?".

He looked confused now "what?".

Sakura shrugged her shoulders "I want to hear you sing" she then poked his forehead making his eyes widened in shock "so I'm your friend from now on".

Gaara gaped at her "w... why?".

Now it was her turn to look confused "why what?".

Gaara bowed his head shadowing his face "why do you want to be my friend? Why are you so kind to me?" his voice was harsh as if he was trying to keep something in.

Sakura noticed tear dripping to the floor from Gaara face, 'what has broken you?' she bent down and put her hands on Gaara shoulders, "Gaara?" she asked in concern but all he did was lift his face and look at her in sadness.

Gaara eyes were filled with tears he felt like he was breaking in two "eve..." he took a deep breath and started again "even knowing what I was about to do?".

The girl's green eyes soften at this she gave, him a goofy smile "because I know those eyes Gaara" she sighed but continued "I know you think the world is against you, you believe there no one that cares if you lived or died?" she gave him a broken smile "but your damn wrong". Her hold on his shoulders tightened "so please be my friend, so I can help you?" she begged "I...swear that I will always be there for you!" she yelled the last part out.

Gaara sat there completely in shock staring at the girl he only knew for two days, asking no, begging to be his friend. Gaara never had a friend, could he trust her? He could he put what little trust he had in her?. 'Ha what have I got to lose. Besides she has done more that anyone in my life' he thought. Gaara placed his hand on her arm "o-okay", the smile that fallowed after that reply took his breath away, Gaara felt he made a chose that will change his life forever.
