OKay so I'm editing my chapters...making it longer and more...addicting or whatever. Just read it and eat cookies ^^
Gaara looked up as the door opened and close. Class had started and everyone was here, so who was this? A beautiful yet frightened girl stared at the class her elegance and purity radiating the room. Gaara noticed he wasn't the only one staring at the new girl's eyes were of the deepest green, Gaara flinched and looked away. Yet he couldn't keep his eyes away from this mysterious girl. He looked, her eyes were still the beautiful deep green and they held a type of knowing sadness, which Gaara himself knew too well. Her hair was an unnatural soft bubblegum pink, and it hung loosely in a bun. Her clothes were worn and her face full of hidden terror.
"Ugly cow," Ino mumbled under her breathe as she saw all the guys stare at the flinching pinkett.
"I'm Haruno Sakura, the new student here," Sakura said her eyes looking everywhere but at the class staring at her.
"Why do you look so…poor?" Ino asked menace and dislike obvious in her voice. Iruka glared at Ino, as did the male population of the class.
"Miss Yamanaka, please refrain yourself from speaking rudely out of term," Iruka said a chastising look on his face. Ino gave Sakura a sultry look. Gaara wanted to slug Ino right then and there...but that would scare the beautiful pinkett.
"She's so…plain," Ino whined, Gaara groaned at Ino's loud and annoying voice, "How did she get in?"
"She won a scholarship," Iruka said and glaring at Ino he continued, "Now Miss Yamanaka I suggest you sit down or I will be forced to give you a demerit,"
Ino grudgingly sat and glaring at Sakura she turned her attention back to Gaara. Sakura stared at the girl curiously, then her eyes landed on Gaara. Her eyes widened and she looked away, her face pale and her eyes flashing with surprise.
"Please Miss Haruno…do not mind Ino," Iruka said soothingly, "Please take your seat next to Gaara, the red haired boy,"
Sakura didn't move, she just stood glued to her spot not flinching, not shivering, completly still. She stood like that for a few minutes before her eyes suddenly flashed into the presant. She blushed as she noticed everyone staring at her, including Garaa, and took her seat next to the surprised red haired rocker.
Gaara frowned, why was it her eyes that reminded him so much of Temari? She looked nothing like Temari, and yet, she had an air of Temari-ness in her. She was short, she was curvy, she was...in no other words to say...beautiful. But she was much more then beautiful.
Sakura stared at the closed book on her desk. She sighed tiredly. Sakura glanced swiftly at the red haired boy, Gaara, who sat next to her. She felt oddly...comfortable around him, as if she was at peace...but she hated men!
Gaara had a strikingly handsome face, and even though his clothes were baggy and dark, Sakura could see muscle. Gaara's eyes, though, were what caused Sakura to stare at him. Gaara's eyes held a kind of pain and tiredness that she could understand. His jade eyes held black bags, and he looked so tired, especially as when his red hair fell in front of his eyes.
Sakura met Gaara's eyes, and quickly she averted her own. What was going on? Why was this guy so different then the rest? She sat, staring long and hard at her closed book.
You know book…you and I are not that different. We are both trapped.
Sakura sighed glumly, and then mentally slapped herself.
Great! Now I'm talking to books, Sakura thought and sighed again, shaking her head at herself.
Suddenly the bell rang, Sakura jumped in surprise. She collected her books and left the classroom unaware of the jade eyes staring at her retreating form.
Sakura hummed a dark melody that played around in her head. She twiddled slightly with her pink hair still humming. The teacher was late. Sakura sighed in exasperation; I hope this teacher is a girl, I don't think I could bare another male teacher.
"Hey girl," A loud voice said, "Swa-et, I'm not the only pink haired girl! The name's Tayuya, and you pinky, what's your name?"
"Hey Tayuya-Chan," Sakura said smiling and breathed a sigh of relief. It was a girl, "I'm Sakura,"
"Please Sakura-Chan," Tayuya said her nose wrinkled slightly, she looked so beautiful when she did that, "Just call me Tayuya,"
"M'kay, just as long as you do the same!" Sakura said grinning at Tayuya.
"Okay!" Tayuya said, and then caught Sakura's worried expression, "Kakashi-Sensie is always late. He's such a queerdo; it's as if being late is a personality trait instead of a bad habit,"
Sakura giggled, Tayuya grinned broadly, "That's cool,"
"The girl that was rude to you before…she's always like that, so don't take her words to heart," Tayuya said glaring openly at the blond.
"Oh? So I'm not the only one that noticed she had something up her ass?" Sakura asked snidely. Tayuya giggled.
"I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship," Tayuya said still laughing, Sakura smiled.
"I hear ya," Sakura said, a glowing smile on her pale face.

Gaara watched as Sakura and Tayuya laughed and chatted together. He could see the two having a long friendship.
He absentmindedly traced the barely visible scars. Silly how his father's simple remarks and his step-mother's regular jeers could cause him to sink so low as to inflict pain on himself. His parents should be in pain, not him... and yet the little scars on his arms were the only thing that could keep him sane and alive.
'Temari would not be please,' Gaara thought and sighed, 'To hell with Temari, she's dead, get over it'
Gaara concentrated on the pencil rolling around. He glared, 'Damnit, that's not what I meant…and yet I said it?'
Gaara glowered as his inner turmoil bubbled. He stared at his pen, his gold pen, like Temari's hair.
-Snap-
The pen broke in half. Gaara swore under his mouth. That was his only pen, Gaara swore again. Today was not a good day.
"Gaara you broke your pen," Ino said her eyes wide. She was so stupid, and she always pretended to be so stupid and innocent. God, Gaara growled, I hate girls like her!
"No kidding Sherlock," Gaara said, Ino's eyes widened in surprise at the huge amount of hostitlity in his words.
"I don't get it," She said her face genuinely confused, Gaara groaned in annoyance. Could this girl get anymore stupid? She could kill you with her stupidity.
"Look Ino, go away, you are annoying and I hate you," Gaara hissed, hopefully that would make her leave.
"But we're hot together," Ino sang. Yes, this gilr could get even more stupid.
"So no I won't leave you alone," Ino continued to sing, damn, so much for that idea.
"PANDA!" Ino screeched and lunged herself onto Gaara.
"Shit," Gaara hissed, "What is this blond thing attached to my arm? It's a rare form of retarded leech called the fan girl. Do not back away slowly from the idiot, run for your life!"
"Yup I'm a leech," Ino said dreamily, not even truly registering what Gaara was saying. The class laughed as Ino made a complete fool of herself.
"Damn I'm sarcastic today," Gaara said frowning.
"You're sarcastic everyday," Tayuya said.
"It's Gaara... when is he not sarcastic?" Naruto asked laughing; he pushed his blond hair out of his sparkling blue eyes.
"Gee Naruto, you're intelligence never ceases to amaze me," Tayuya said snidely. Suddenly a new laughter entered the classmate's ears. Sakura sat on her chair holding her stomach laughing. Her laughter was sweet and innocent, it was light and soon everyone was laughing along with her. Even the corners of Gaara's mouth twisted up, slightly. When she stopped she looked surprised, as if she had forgotten how to laugh.
"I love this school," Sakura said a huge smile on her beautiful face.
"You should," Tayuya said sniggering at her new friend, "You should,"

It was study, and hopefully Gaara would be able to get away from Ino. He moved quickly towards the math study room and entered. Sighing gratefully he slumped into a seat. She wasn't here.
Some people were on the computers, others were eating, and others were talking and doing math homework. Gaara sighed letting his frustration trickle out of his body.
"Man I hate Ino," Gaara breathed to himself. He closed his eyes and found that instead of the usual blackness he saw, Sakura's image was burned onto his eyelids. He opened them, his eyes focusing on the teacher typing away and closed his eyes, Sakura was laughing this time.
Damn, Gaara thought, What should I do Temari? She looks so lost, she's like a child, a child that has been threw too much.
Gaara rubbed his throbbing temples. He really hated this school, and right now his life. The door opened and Gaara's eyes flashed open.
"Please don't be Ino," Gaara pleaded softly, his eyes focused on light bubblegum pink hair, it was Sakura. Then he noticed darker pink hair with a beanie, which would be Tayuya.
"Hey Gaara," Tayuya said pulling up a seat, "This is Sakura. Sakura this be Gaara, say hello, be happy, and eat cookies,"
"Hey," Sakura said softly, he was scary...even if she didn't feel like he was mentally raping her. Gaara nodded his head in acknowledgement and looked at his book, not reading, just staring. Sakura could tell he wasn't reading because his eyes didn't move with the words.
"Gaara doesn't talk much," Tayuya whispered to Sakura.
"You know I'm right here and I can here you," Gaara said emotionlessly. Tayuya giggled and ruffled his hair.
"Yah I know," Tayuya said, Sakura smiled at her friend's antic. And for once in the longest time, Sakura felt at peace sitting next to this strange, bitter, and sarcastic red haired boy.
Yah...kind of fluff
Ino-Bashing /woot woot/
