Chapter Three-
Gaara's POV
'Should I tell Naruto about my drag racing?' I wondered falling back on said boy's couch that was in his room, 'Nah, he'll probably go into a spaz attack.'
"Hey, what was up with you at dinner?" Naruto asked walking into his room, closing the door behind him and switching the light off. Before jumping on the bed, he turned on the lamp across the room for a little light.
"Temari was just calling to fuss at me." I told him.
"She's cool with you staying the night right?"
I nodded and yawned, "Yeah, she didn't have a problem with that. I just forgot to do the dishes before I left."
"Okey." Naruto said stretching as he crawled under his orange covers.
"What's with you and orange?" I asked, always wondering.
"What's with you and brown" he gestured to my brown blanket I was currently wrapping up with.
"Touché." I said after a few minutes causing Naruto to burst out laughing.
A few moments of silence fell between them.
"Crap!" the blonde shouted sitting up in bed.
"What?" I asked leaning my head back over the arm rest where I was looking at him upside down.
"I forgot to do math homework." He answered.
"Why not? And no you can't copy mine." I said already know what he was going to ask.
"Aw! But Gaara!"
"No you should have done your homework."
"Why do you hate me?" the blonde asked being overdramatic as usual.
"I'm going to bed now." I said turning me back towards him.
"Gaara!"
"I can't hear you." And true to my word, I put my headphones in from my iPod that was sitting on the table in front of me. I shook my head as I heard Naruto huff and grumble to himself. 'Will he ever learn?' I wondered, 'Probably not.' Ignorance by Paramore blasted in my ears as I attempted to go to sleep.
The Next Day:
I yawned and ran a hand through my hair, 'I really need to get some sleep tonight if I'm going to racer tomorrow…' I thought walking into chemistry and to my seat.
"Hey Alex." I said as I sat down.
"Hey." She said glancing up from her notebook.
'She looked up from her notebook. I think I'm getting somewhere...' I mentally rolled my eyes, 'I've been hanging around Naruto way too long...'"So how's Mind's Eye coming?"
"Uh… pretty good. I've got…" she seemed to count in her head, "I dunno how many more chapters to go. But I'm at the part where everything falls apart."
"Why does everything have to fall apart?" I asked slightly confused.
"So the pieces can be mended by their love for each other." Alex told e simply.
"I see what you mean." I told her nodding.
Alex nodded and begun to right once again, her hand moving across the page as he thoughts became words. Her other hand reached into her pocket and brought out- 'An apple slice?' "Are those the apple slices from lunch?"
She froze, the apple slice half way to her mouth, and glanced at me, "No… okey yes." Before I could say anything else, she pointed her pen at me somewhat menacingly, "Don't judge me." She said and went back to writing and eating the apple slices.
'Wouldn't dream of it…' I thought opening my notebook as Mrs. Gaza walked to the front of the class to begin her lesson. All the while, I couldn't help but sneak glances at Alex.
Sasuke's POV
'Kilograms to pounds… liters to milliliters… centimeters to yards to- oh forget it! All this is making my head hurt…' I thought shaking my head and moving my lyric notebook on top of my chemistry one. A beat began to play in my head and I wrote the words that seemed to flow with them:
When I look up at the sky
The stars, see, are sparkling
Each giving off its own light
Like the people on this planet
Yeah, so I, too
Want to shine particularly bright
I close my eyes and make a vow in my heart
And entrust my dreams to that shooting star…
"Got what you're going to sing Friday?"
I looked to my left to see the blonde looking at me from where he leaned against his left arm so that he was facing me, "I've already told you, I don't sing."
"But I wanna see what you've got!"
'Does he ever give up?' "You can see what I've got with my guitar playing."
"Oh come on!" the blonde seemed to shout.
"Naruto!" Mrs. Gaza called shooting the blonde and evil look for interrupting her class, "Stop talking!"
"But-"
"You need to focus more and pay attention!"
Naruto's jaw dropped and he stared at the teacher. I shook my head at this as I went back to writing and Mrs. Gaza went back to her lesson.
"So is that a new song?" he asked not five minutes later.
'Really?' I wondered rolling my eyes, "Yes, yes it is."
"Are you going to play it Friday?"
"I don't know..." I could feel my eye beginning to twitch.
He seemed to read over my shoulder which caused my eye to twitch even more, "You should, it looks like a really good song."
"Do you ever be quiet?" I asked louder than I intended and looking at the blonde before me.
The class went quiet and to look at us, Mrs. Gaza included.
"Sasuke is there a problem?" she asked.
"No Mrs. Gaza. Just go on with your lesson." I told her sighing.
She looked at the two of us for a second longer before she went on teaching and I went back to my notebook to write in peace. That peace was broken by a certain blonde that was sitting beside me, "You seem like a very angry person." He commented.
'Seriously? He's still at it?' "Alex has said the same thing about me." I said glancing at him. I watched him as he seemed to just stare at me. 'I don't know whether to be flattered or creeped out...'
"You are not going to have enough time to finish this today, so take it home and do it for homework! It is due Friday!" the woman at the front of the class shouted at them.
"Why must she always yell?" Naruto and asked at the same time.
I froze and turned to the blonde beside me who was busted out laughing, making me smile a bit in return. 'I like his laugh… it kinda makes me want to laugh…'
The bell rung.
"See you tomorrow!" he called packing his stuff in a flash and meeting up with his red head friend who was waiting a bit impatiently by the door. I watched him as he once again laughed before disappearing out the door.
"Crush… Crush… Crush… one two three four! Nothing compares to a quiet evening along, Just the one-two of us, who's counting on that never happens-"
"Shut it Alex." I told my best friend who was now standing beside me as I was packing my bag. She continued to hum the song with a smirk on her face as we walked down the hall, all the while, Naruto's laugh ringing in my head.
Naruto's POV
I stared up at the sky as I walked from the building, glad that school was out. The bell had rung not too long ago, so there were a few students still standing around and talking with their friends.
"You better not hog the baby this time Alex."
"But-"
"No buts. You're at my house, so I get baby rights."
"Fine…"
I looked on at Sasuke and Alex as they were walking out of the building together. Sasuke reached in his pocket and pulled out a set of car keys.
"Oh!" Alex reached for the keys, "Can I-?"
"No." the raven told her holding the keys away from her.
"You mister, are a bid meany! And for that, you're going to get the baby!" the brunette said walking further ahead of him.
"Alex! You are not hogging the baby!" Sasuke called after her, but she kept walking, "Alexandra!" he yelled running after her.
'He seems so... alive... now. Not angry like he is in class.' I thought as I watched the two of them, 'And what baby are they talking about?' he wondered.
"You know it's not healthy to stare."
I jumped at hearing Gaara's voice beside me, "Why are you so quiet? I swear…" I muttered.
"Did you talk to him?" he asked, ignoring my question.
"Yeah, but he got very angry with me, but hey I did get him to smile." I said with a thumbs up.
"That's good." He nodded, "And I realized something today."
"What?"
"I need to stop hanging around you." The red head stated.
"Huh? Why?" I asked taken aback.
"Because I was think like you earlier." He said, "Alex looked up from her notebook when she talked to me today and I was like, 'Progress.' You know much like you usually do."
I laughed relived that it wasn't something that could end their friendship, "That's the magic of me!" I grinned, "Hey! Are you coming over?"
"Nah, Temari will kill me if I don't get home and do something around the house."
I nodded in understanding, "Alright." A silver mustang pulled up in front of the school, "See you later."I told him recognizing the car as Gaara's uncle's. The man behind the wheel had a semi-bored expression and he glanced to his watch his features matching that of Gaara's except, he had brown eyes.
"See ya." Gaara waved walking towards the car.
Waving to the man in the car, I walked to the student parking lot to my black jeep Cherokee where I climbed in and head home. As I pulled into the driveway I saw that they only person home was my mom.
"Hey Naruto." She said from the kitchen as I took off my shoes at the door and walked into the house.
"Hey Mom." I said dropping my bag on the couch and walking into the kitchen.
"You're alone for once. I figured Gaara or Kiba would be with you."
"Gaara did want to be murder by Temari and Kiba has to help his sister at the animal shelter the rest of this week." I told her, stealing a piece of tomato that she was chopping.
Mom gave me a glare and went back to chopping, "So how was school today?" she asked.
"It was good." I nodded, "Though I got yelled at by Ms. Gaza… again."
"What for this time?" mom asked with a sigh.
"Okey so my chem partner is kinda real quiet and you know I had to try and get him to talk a little more. But then he gets very angry and yells at me… and then Mrs. Gaza yells at both of us for interrupting her class. "
"Was there a reason he was quiet?" she asked taking what she had cut up and placed it in a bowl. She then began to cut up a cucumber.
Well he has this notebook with lyrics in it and I told him that I was going to go hear him sing and he's like I don't sing and I'm like I think you need to so then he gets angry."
"Maybe he's not use to people asking about his writing." Mom shrugged.
"But his lyrics are amazing! He wrote this one song called 'What is love?' oh man, it made me want to cry. But when I complimented him on it he gets all snarky with me!" I ranted.
"Honey, not everyone is an open book like you are. Look how long it took you to befriend Gaara. You ended you in the hospital twice because of the fights you got in with him."
I sighed, "I guess you're right… oh! Speaking of him, apparently I'm rubbing off on him."
Mom put the chopped cucumbers in the bowl and moved to the lettuce and asked, "How so?"
"He's dealing with the same thing with his chem partner. She's really quiet and according to him writing all the time too. He couldn't get her to look up from her writing before, but today he did and was like, 'Yes!' well… basically anyway."
"That's a good thing, is it not? You need to try and get people to open up so they won't be alone." She said wisely.
"You're right." I nodded.
"Aren't I always?" she asked with a laugh.
I laughed along with her as the door opened to show my dad, "Hey dad." I called as he did the same thing I did upon entering the house.
"Hi honey." Mom greeted him.
"Hey guys." He said ruffling my hair and walking around the counter where I was sitting across from where mom was standing to give her a kiss on the cheek. "Want to go out for a quick game before dinner?" he asked me bouncing a soccer ball on his knees.
"No ball in the house." Mom reminded us.
"Let's go!" I shouted taking the ball from him and running outside, 'Ah, nothing like a good game of soccer.' I thought with a grin.
Alex's POV
"Awh! Look at you! You look cuter than the last time I saw you!" I squealed holding the eighteen month old baby.
"I don't think that's possible." Sasuke said rolling his eyes and taking the bag from Konan.
"Shut your face." I told him a smile on my face in a baby voice, my eyes never leaving Yasuo.
Konan laughed, "Don't you two be fighting in front of my baby now; he hears enough of that around Kakuzu and Hidan."
"You let them to around my baby?" I gasped holding said baby closer.
"Its kinds hard when we live in the same house." Konan reminded her.
"Oh yeah… I forgot that…" I muttered.
"So we'll be here to pick him up around ten-ish?"
"Pein's with you?" I asked a smile on my face.
She nodded, "He's in the car."
"He better get his pierced self out here."I walked over to the door that was still open and glared towards the car, "You get yer butt over here! I wanna hug."
The driver's door opened and a tall oranged haired man stepped out. All around his ears were pierced along with a few on the outside corners of his eye brows; he wore a suit of all black except for a tie the color of his hair. "Will you just watch my child?" he asked annoyed.
I handed Sasuke the baby and came running outside. Pein gave a smirk and held his arms open to receive my hug that he knew was coming. "I'm going to take care of your baby… but you may not get him back."
"I better get my son back." He said.
"I'll think about it." I laughed pulling away.
He shook his head, "Come on Konan or we're going to be late."
"I'm coming, I'm coming." She called walking over to us, "Thank you again Alex."
"It's no problem!"
She smiled, "Alright then. Be good." She said kissing the top of my head.
"Shouldn't you be saying that to Yasuo?" I asked.
"Nope." She grinned before her and her husband got in the car and drove away.
Smiling a bit, I walked back into the house where Sasuke was laid out on his back in the floor of the living room; Yasuo was in the air being held up by his arms on knees giggling as the raven made airplane noises. "Having fun?" I asked closing the door.
"Yes in fact I am." He answered sitting up and letting the baby roam around freely, "Did Itachi say when he was going to be home?"
I shook my head, "Nope. I think he said something about hanging out with Deidara."
"I swear why doesn't he just go ahead and ask him out already?" Sasuke asked walking through the living room and the dining room to reach the kitchen.
"I'm sure he's waiting for something... or he's just being him." I shrugged helping Yasuo stand and followed behind him as he chased after Sasuke who was opening a pack of cinnamon rolls and placing the on a sprayed pan.
"He's probably just being him." He said placing the pan in the oven. The raven then opened the fridge door, "Pudding cup?"
"Of course!" I grinned taking the four pack of pudding he handed me and grabbing spoon from the drawer beside the fridge. "Come on Yasuo." I called to the child who followed along behind me to the living room and sat on the couch.
Sasuke picked up the remote from the table before sitting down himself and turning the TV on, "So, do we wanna watch Spongebob, Jimmy Two Shoes or Hannah Montana?" he asked looking at the TV guide.
"Jimmy Two Shoes!" I shouted.
"Shoes!" Yasuo shouted after me in his cute baby voice.
"That's right!" I grinned pulling him into my lap and cuddling him. I held up the small spoonful of pudding I had and held it out to him, "Pudding?" I asked.
"'udding!" he giggled happily as I fed him the chocolate treat.
"Don't give him chocolate! He'll be bouncing off the walls."
"No he won't." the raven gave me a doubtful look, "Okey, well if he does then he'll be with his parents by then… at least hopefully…"
He shook his head and leaned back, "So songs do you want to do Friday?"
"Um… I want to do Unbreakable and… what's that song you were working on that I really liked?" I said snapping my fingers trying to think of the song.
"Don't Let Your Enemies Become Friends…?" Sasuke supplied for me.
"Yeah! That one! I want to try that one."
"What?" he asked shocked, "We've only practiced it once. We aren't-"
"Relax Sasuke. You wrote the song I'm sure you know how to play it and I've basically memorized all the lyrics in your notebook." I told him, I turned to Yasuo, "Isn't that right? Sasuke's just being silly."
Said person rolled his eyes and stood up, "I'm going to go check on my cinnamon rolls." He said walking to the kitchen.
"Hey! What's up with you and cinnamon rolls?" I yelled towards him.
"What's with you and pudding cups?" he yelled back.
I was quiet for a minute, 'Always gotta have a comeback...' "Touché… Touché… " I yelled nodding.
"'udding!"
Grinning, I fed the baby in my lap a small spoonful of the chocolaty goodness, "It's good isn't it? Yes it is." Yasuo giggled causing the pudding to begin dribbling from his mouth, "Sasuke bring me back a paper towel please?" I shouted at him.
"Gotcha!" he called.
After a few minutes he walked back into the living room, napkin in one hand and a pan of cinnamon rolls in the other. He handed me the napkin and sat the pan on the table before sitting down himself. I thanked him as I wiped the little boy's mouth, fussing over him back a mess. Sasuke gave a small smile, "You know you're going to back a great mom." He stated icing a cinnamon roll.
"Yeah, like I'll find someone who wants to be with me…" I muttered eating my pudding glumly.
"Alex-"
"So what were you and Naruto arguing over today?" 'Maybe I can distract him…' I thought not wanting to take the conversation where he was going to go with it, "You hardly ever argue."
"He was going on and on about my songs and asking question after question..!" he let out a sigh and fell back to the couch, cinnamon roll in hand, "I don't know what it is with this guy… he's just so…" he made some kinda gesture with his hands, "Ugh!"
I laughed at my best friend's frustration as he stuffed a cinnamon roll in his mouth, "I seriously think you have a crush on him."
He gave a blank stare and finished eating his snack, "You're joking?"
I shook my head, "It could be one of those 'I love you' 'I hate you' relationships."
Silence fell upon us as he rolled his eyes and began to watch TV. I sat Yasuo on the ground so he could freely roam around. Sasuke snapped his fingers, "Oh yeah, I've got to work tomorrow so Itachi'll be picking you up." I nodded and frown upon realizing that I had eaten all my pudding cups. Sneaking a glance at the raven, I saw that he was into the TV and I took the distraction to snatch a roll from the pan along with the icing and dashed off the couch to the living room.
"Alex Lee! Give me my cinnamon roll back!" the raven shouted.
I quickly iced the desert in hand and shoved half of it in my mouth, peeking around the corner I saw Sasuke glaring at me from the couch, "What are you talking about?" I asked mouth full.
"Bitch." He muttered.
"Bad Sasuke! No cursing in front of the baby-Ah!" I let out a yell as Sasuke launched himself off the couch. I ran to across the living room to where Yasuo was playing in front of the TV and picked him up, "Innocent bystander!"
"You would use a baby as a shield?" the raven asked in disbelief.
"If it keeps you from killing me, yes."
He shook his head, "And that's why you're my little sister." He said with a small smile.
I grinned at him, but the grin faded as I remembered, "Crap! We have Chemistry homework…"
"You do know It's not due till Friday, right?" Sasuke told me sitting on the floor where the little boy was previously.
"But if I don't do it now, it's not gonna get done." I told him sitting down beside him on the floor.
"And you're not going to do it are you?"
"Nope!" I grinned as he shook his head and we began watching TV and playing with Yasuo.
Welp... there it is for you. Was it horrible? Was it okey? I know there was bunches of grammer mistakes and i'm sorry for those... you would think with growing up learning this that I'd be able to use it... ^.^' Anyway, reviews are veryvery loved. and as always any ideas you want to see happym, songs you want to see pop up, tell me! I want you all to be apart of this story!
