Girls Don't Love Boys Who Love Them Back!
Chapter 2:
Don't push me
Sasuke walked into the seemingly empty cathedral after changing from his wet school uniform to a spare. He plopped down on an empty row and threw his book bag on the floor; the sound seemed to echo for hours… "God, if you really do exist, which I highly doubt, then please get me out of this hellhole." He whispered to himself. There was a silence, but Sasuke heard some rustling around, so he got up and walked down the solemn foyer, and stopped when he got to the fifth row. "Who the hell are you?"
The red haired youth who was lying on his back, slowly opened his eyes slowly and sat up. "What did you say to me?"
"I've never seen you before, who are you?" Sasuke asked again.
"My name is Gaara, not that it's any of you damn business." He replied fiendishly.
"So I take it that you're not from around here."
"What's it to you?"
Sasuke, who purposely ignored that last question, sat down next to him. "You'll go crazy if you stay here, my advice is to go back to wherever you came from-fast"
"A friend told me that I should come here, so I decided: what the hell, at least I won't be in that damn group home anymore." Gaara replied casually as he pull out a pack of cigarettes.
Sasuke watched him in awe, "Are you really gonna smoke those in here?"
"You gotta problem?" Gaara lifted a careless eyebrow; he tilted the pack toward Sasuke. "You wanna smoke?"
"Thanks." Sasuke replied as he took a single cigarette. In truth Sasuke hadn't had much experience with smoking because he never got the chance with his parents always on his case, but he watched Gaara light up and take a drag like a pro.
Gaara leaned over to light Sasuke up, then leaned back into his seat and let long trains of smoke steam effortlessly from his nostrils. "So what kind of place is this exactly?"
Sasuke took a drag and let smoke flood from his nose before answered. "Hell." He simply replied.
"What about the girls?"
"They're all skanks."
"And the guys?"
"They're all losers."
"Do you know a kid named—" but before Gaara could finish his question the doors of the cathedral flung open, and in a panic Sasuke and Gaara held their cigarettes under row of seats. "Who is it?" Gaara whispered, obviously scared.
Sasuke barely turned his head to see, he too was sweating bullets, but when he heard the giggle of two school girls, he turned around and replied dryly: "The skanks."
Gaara and Sasuke pulled up the cigarettes again, and from behind them they could hear Ino shout: "Are you two smoking?!" she marched over to them angrily.
Sakura tagged along to see the commotion. "Sasuke…?"
"What the hell do you two want?" he growled. "I'm pretty pissed and I don't feel like being drilled alright?"
"Well I really don't care how mad you are! You can't just come in here and disrespect our sanctuary like this! What would Mary say Sasuke?" Ino pleaded sternly.
Sasuke looked up at the sculpture of the virgin mother, "She can kiss my ass." He replied inertly.
"That's not even funny Sasuke!" Sakura piped up.
"Run along little girls, this is no place for you to play." Gaara sneered.
"W-Who's he?" Sakura asked Ino.
"Gaara. He lives in the Jesus and Pals youth home for young men, he's in the seventh grade, has no eyebrows, an obnoxious tattoo on his forehead, and wears way too much eyeliner." She said very matter-of-factly.
"It's a look." Gaara shrugged.
"Seriously you guys need to get out of here, now." Sasuke demanding.
"Or what, you'll get caught smoking on campus grounds?" a random janitor interjected.
"Thank you sir, please escort these two to the front office immediately." Ino ordered.
"Whatever missy, you and your friend here need to get to class immediately." The janitor replied sarcastically. Ino and Sakura ran off, but Sasuke and Gaara were forced to the principles office, they awaited their judgment in the hallway.
"So it's my first day and already I have a partner in crime, and I don't even know your name." Gaara began.
"Sasuke, Sasuke Uchiha."
"So what's gonna happen to us?"
"I thought you'd have a better idea."
"Kiss my ass." Gaara chuckled, Sasuke laughed too, but they stopped on sight of an angry secretary.
"Principle Sarutobi will see you now." She said flatly. Sasuke and Gaara got up and immediately started laughing again. "Sinners!" she called as they slammed the principles' door behind them.
Ino and Sakura arrived late to class with a pass explaining their tardiness, they took their seats: Sakura to the right of Naruto, and Ino directly in front of her. Naruto's nose wiggled in disgust. "Hey, Sakura." He whispered.
"What is it Naruto?" she whispered back in a very annoyed tone.
"You smell, are you on your period of something?"
"WHAT THE HELL DID YOU JUST SAY?!"
The class was dead silent after Sakura's outburst. "Sakura! 50 Hail Mary's right now young lady!" the teacher scolded.
"B-But I…"
"NOW!"
Sakura took her place of shame in front of the entire class and began to recite the prayer. Ino turned to Naruto, "Hey Naruto, just so you know, when a girl's having her period she doesn't smell like cigarette smoke."
"Well what does it smell like?"
"Ino and Naruto, you two can join her." Their teacher ordered.
Just as they came up to join her Sasuke and Gaara came through the door, the teacher eyed them critically. "Yeah we're late." Sasuke said casually as he basically threw the note from the principle's office at her.
She read it quickly. "It looks like we're going to have a full choir up here singing sweet prayers: Sasuke,…boy, get up here and join Naruto, Sakura and Ino in saying 50 Hail Mary's."
"Actually, I only have 48 to go." Sakura reminded her.
"It matters not, profanity will not be tolerated in this classroom, you're lucky that I'm being gracious and not calling your parents, but the damage has already been done…the lord has heard your fowl language."
"Sakura…profanity…?" Sasuke was dumbfounded, and he looked at a blushing Sakura in awe.
"What's a 'Hail Mary'?" Gaara asked.
"After a day here, you'll never forget, trust me." Sasuke assured him.
