Gaara and I walked down the hall towards the basketball court. I avoided Gaara's icy stare. "The Uchiha?" Gaara said, this time more intently. Suddenly we were interrupted by two obnoxious voices down the hall.

"Ohmigosh! I KNOW they're so OVER!" it was none other than Sakura, accompanied by her blonde adversary, Ino.

"Over, did they even begin? Ugh, I think I know another couple that's sprouting though…" said Ino.

"You mean the two new fags of the school, Sasuke and Neji, right?" Sakura asked.

"Yup. I mean, now it makes sense why they always hang out! I bet they make out and stuff all the time." Ino replied.

Sakura let out a giggle, "Well I can't believe we caught Sasuke, but Neji seems so… Gay-ish, I guess I just never really thought about it. Oh well, I hope their happy." The last part was more sarcastic.

Suddenly my heart seemed to drop a bit. Neji and Sasuke… Why didn't I think of it? I thought. I was close to tears as Sakura and Ino walked past them, bumping into me. "Move it!" they both said. I just looked down, trying to hide my sorrow. While next to me Gaara was seething. He popped a vain and clenched his teeth, wanting to kill something.

"Bitch…" Was all he could say. His fists at his sides as he walked in the opposite direction. I absent-mindedly followed as Gaara was pounding through halls slamming doors. Once we were in front of the Science room he lightened up his expression. At the end of the hall Sasuke and Neji were talking, though it seemed that they didn't notice him and I. Gaara smiled warmly as Sasuke walked away, leaving Neji. Pink slightly shone on his pale cheeks as he turned around giving me a blank look. I immedietly noticed the hint and walked away leaving them alone…

After the free period was over all that was left to finish the day was History with Kurenai-sensei. I wandered through the hallway. I remembered that only Neji was in my history class. Perhaps he'll fill me in… Naruto thought. He walked into the classroom and took his seat. Once all the students were inside Kurenai-sensei said, "Good afternoon class!" the students replied with a tired reply. "Today as you know we will be starting our partner projects on a time period of Konoha history. I hope you picked your partners, now be off and start." She then handed each student a worksheet with guidelines and the students were off, each clinging to their own predicted partner. "Naruto." A voice said. I turned around to see Neji ask me, "Partners?" I noticed that everybody else seemed to have already chosen their partners, so I nodded yes.

He had a big smile as he looked down to his paper. "Alright so… We're just supposed to discuss ideas for now." He told me. "I'm fresh out." Naruto said sarcastically. Neji laughed. "So uhm… How's Sasuke?" Naruto asked him, trying to be nonchalant. He let out another laugh, "He's fine, why?" "I just wanted to know, since he's a bit troubled and all." I said, blushing. Neji smiled again. "Gaara's doing well I can see." I read him for any emotion to no avail, his cream eyes seemed to aid him in hiding emotion. "Why do you care how Sasuke's doing?" Neji questioned. I was totally shocked by the question, "W-well you know, I was just ask-king. I don't…" The Hyuuga's smile turned into more of an evil smirk, "I was just asking, but if you want to tell me anything, there's absolutely nothing I have a problem with." He seemed as if he knew some sinister thing and had an evil plan to back it up.

After the period I went back to my locker, meeting Gaara outside of the school "Finally!" I told him, "This has been one of the longest school days ever, huh?" "Oh, I guess I didn't really notice." Gaara said, then he walked away airily. It was then when I noticed, on his neck, a slight discoloration. In a certain spot near his shoulder there was the slightest portion of a red spot that his shirt didn't cover. The type of discoloration that most people in the nation know as none other than the hickey.
