Fourth Glance
Chapter 3
"Never oppose Gaara…unless you want to end up in the hospital."
-An Unspoken Rule in Konoha Intermediate
Reiko was starting to make new friends…well, kind of. Most of the students in Room 143 have been talking to her, but she mostly kept to herself. However, there was one person who was determined to make Reiko her friend, and her name was Ai. Ai was in Room 143 as well, and she was, by far, the most annoying. Her bubbly attitude made Reiko's head ache. It was her bad luck that Ai always followed her around. Reiko felt like she's being stalked…and that's not a very good thought when you're new at school.
Naruto looked at Sakura and sighed. He was falling in love, and he was falling fast. Too bad Sakura would only date him out of pity. Naruto sighed again and listened to the teacher.
"Today, class," the teacher said, pacing around the room. "We have to decide 4 students to be in the Student Council." Naruto whacked his head on his desk. No one wants to be in the Student Council. It was, pretty much, a stupid idea to make kids who don't know any better to stay at school. He threw a glance at Sakura.
Wait...
If Sakura was in the Student Council…and he was in the Student Council…then they'll get to spend more time together!
Perfect…
"These four will be the leaders and will be telling the teachers ideas for fundraisers and all that on behalf of the student body," The teacher continued. "All of the class will have to tell us why they should be in the Student Council or why they shouldn't be in it. Now, who would like to start?"
Everyone looked anxiously at everyone else. No one raised their hand. The teacher rolled his eyes and was about to talk, when someone stood up.
Gaara.
The teacher was shocked. Gaara… the Gaara, who pretty much beat everyone who crossed his path, wanted to be in the Student Council?? Impossible. The teacher sat down on his chair and massaged his temples. Perhaps, he's just going to make a speech about how Student Council is a waste of time. Yeah…that must be it…
"I think," Gaara said as he glared at everyone in the class. "I should be in the Student Council…Because if I'm not…" He smirked. Everyone immediately understood.
Gaara was one of the most powerful people in the school. No one dared to offend him, or they'll have to face the consequences. Even his own older siblings were scared of him. His father was one of the benefactors of the school, and that is why the school cannot afford to expel him, even though he pretty much broke every school rule.
Gaara sat back down. Someone started crying. The teacher cleared his throat and stood up, his knees shaking.
"So… does anyone else want to be in the Student Council?"
