Chapter 4: Curiouser
This chapter has been edited and re-uploaded.
Ok, Broken Wings here. I am (un)officially ungrounded. Mom let me have a birthday party, AND let me go to a school dance, AND let me go to a friend's house. So I think I'm ungrounded.
But before, she took my comp away. So cannot has update, 'cause it turns out that I WAS grounded at dad's too after all. *sweatdrop* Heheheh… And not one person guessed who it was! And I had to re-write the whole chapter twice, after the first got lost and the second got deleted after my laptop crapped out.
Oh well, I'm here, and I'm going to do as much writing as possible while I have teh Intarwebs. But I will admit the first thing I did was check all my fics I subscribed to and my Myspace, and youtubed a LOT of crap first.
Not that you guys aren't important…. 5 months alone in my room…. I'm even crazier than usual. But I digress. Now on with the "Perfection". (I know, bad joke.)
His eyebrows went up. Wait, no they didn't. He didn't have any. But if he DID… "Oh. Ok. My name is-"
"My name is Gaara." Hinata backed up. "Oh, my name's Hinata. Bye." She turned around and walked/ran away but he grabbed her wrist and pulled her flush against him again. (SPLODE….. PERSONAL *gasp* BUBBLE!)
"Will I see you later today?" he asked solemnly. "I d-don't k-know." she said, the stammer returning. "I d-don't know m-my- I mean YOUR schedule. I know MY schedule, I-I just…." Oh, God, she was lit up like a tree now, providing the tree was covered in red.
"Hm, ok." And just like that he left. Leaving her stunned, confused, and dizzy. Ok, well, that was only because she had forgotten to breathe again. Stupid lungs. Who needs them anyway? Oh. Right. Well.
She ran for the locker room, not stopping until she reached "her" shower stall. She always showered in this stall, since frosh year. She even kept some of her stuff there- she was sure none of the girls would come in to steal it.
She sank down under the lime-caked shower head to calm down. Why was she even thinking about this? I mean, it wasn't like she and Naruto were exclusively dating, or dating at all, really. But then why did she feel she had betrayed him?
It was nonsense anyhow. Gaara was just a boy. Just a boy with clear, sad, sea-foam-green eyes. Sad like Naruto's had been. Sad like she was sure hers had been. Sad like he had lost every friend in the world. Like he had no one to love, or to love him.
Damn maternal instincts. That's all it was, maternal instincts. That's why she wanted to hold him and make it all better. Didn't matter that he was the hottest thing since Johnny Depp in boyshorts. (A.N. Sorry, Johnny Depp. No offense intended.)
She stood up and unceremoniously yanked on her jeans and t-shirt. "I'd better get to class before I get anymore crazy ideas. Psh. Yeah. Crazy. Heh heh. *smack* Stop that. Wow, maybe I really am crazy. *shrug*"
She got to biology class just as the bell rang, sliding into her seat rapidly, not noticing a familiar face. "Hello, Hinata." Gaara's deep baritone almost had her jumping out of her seat. "Gyeah! Oh, uh, I mean, hi."
He looked amused at her flustered state. "I see we have at least two classes together." She laughed nervously. "Yeah, I-I guess we d-do, Gaara-san." He stared at her steadfastly. "Please, call me Gaara-kun." Well, it was obvious she would blush. He had a smirk to rival even Neji-the-homosexual-ass. (A.N. Hey, that could be his "Indian Name"!)
"HEY, SEXY, WHAT'S SHAKIN'? YOU GOT A GUY, OR WHAT? WANNA HOOK UP AFTER SCHOOL?" shouted a boy wearing a lot of make up and all black from across the room. Damn Emos. They were all attracted to her solitude, and huge rack. "Damn these DD-cups!" Hinata thought to herself.
Gaara growled under his breath. "Kankuro, if you want to keep your balls attached to your body, you will shut up now." Kankuro quickly shut up, so Hinata figured he must have been threatened before, so he knew not to mess with Gaara, and risk his chance of ever reproducing.
Gaara's ill humor did not improve with the absence of his brother's lewd suggestions. He stared silently at the wall for the rest of class. When the bell rang, he rose silently and left without a word, a la Edward Cullen. (A.N. Gag.)
"Wow. Is he moody or what?" Hinata thought. "But still, I get to go to the park with Naruto tonight! When I get to him, all the weird crap that happened today won't matter. W00T! And I can tell him about Neji and Kankuro and-" For some reason, she had trouble thinking the last name. Weird. As Alice said- "Curiouser and curiouser." But Alice also talked to flowers, takes weed-smoking caterpillars seriously, and was under the influence of "magic mushrooms".
Not exactly the best role model. But whatever. She'd see Naruto and then things would make sense again. Tonight.
Ok, I know the caterpillar wasn't smoking weed, but when I was younger I was convinced the guy was a stoner. Shows you about my childhood. Anyways, see you soon, dear readers!
Peace, huggles, and half-psychotic love,
~Broken Wings
