Notes: Hey guys! Animekid , Gaara shall seem soooo OOC in this chapter. If you dont like it, sorry. I just typed whatever came to my mind. Now, I have a question for all of you: Should Konoha Boarding School become a love story? Tell me your answer on the poll on my profile. I'd appreciate the feedback.

Recap:

"First time I heard someone insult Uchiha," Gaara told me, finally not glaring.

"That's cause I'm not scared of the idiot, nor am I in love with him," I replied. His smirk widened. "So, which gang do you represent?"

"Suna," With that he began walking down the hall. He stopped and turned looked over his shoulder. "Are you coming with me or are you going to stand there and look like an idiot?" I smiled and ran over to him.

Start:

++End Of School++4:00PM++

During lunch, Gaara and I got to know a little bit about each other, talking about our likes, dislikes, hobbies and all that, well I did anyway. We compared our schedules to see that we had all of our academic classes together and decided that, if we were allowed to, we would sit together. So, instead of suffering from all of the annoying stares from boys and glares from girls for four periods straight, no one dared to look at me at all due to the boy standing beside me.

Gaara and I are currently heading back to his dorm so we could hang out and do some homework together. Gaara would also be teaching me some of his sand jutsus but only when he thinks I'm ready.

"You never really told me much about yourself Gaara," I said as we reached his room. He shrugged and opened the door.

Inside were two people, a boy and a girl. The girl had blonde hair tied in to four pigtails and these dark, teal eyes. The boy had this weird, black hat thingy that made it look like he had cat ears, this weird purple make-up on his face and black eyes. They were arguing about something.

"Ignore them," Gaara told me, walking to his room with me shadowing him. "They're my siblings." I gave him a questioning look as he closed the door. He shrugged. "Don't mind them. They're always like that." I nodded and sat on his bed.

"You know," I said as I laid back. "You only seem to show the fact that you're actually human around me, and only me." I looked over at him. "Why?"

"I'll tell you someday," He told me, passing me my Algebra II book. "But not right now." I nodded, understanding how he feels.

"Ok," I said opening my book to our homework. "Don't feel pressured to tell me. I understand; everyone has their own secrets." He threw me a relaxed grin in thanks.

With that all said and done, we got to work on out giant load of academic and ninja work.

++Gaara's Room++5:00PM++

I stretched out my arms and legs. I had just finished all of my work, while my new friend, Gaara, still had to finish his history work. Sitting back on his bed, I pulled my laptop out from my bag and signed in to AIM.

WindsOfSand: I'm Temari

Puppet_Master: Kankuro

SandsOfBlood: I'm sitting next to you Kari. -_-

I looked at the red head beside me with a weirded out look. He merely rolled his eyes at me and smirked. I gave a small giggle.

darkbuthopeful: well this explains why you're still working on history

SandsOfBlood: Shaaddup, you didn't help me! xP

darkbuthopeful: xD

Puppet_Master: O_O Wha-

WindsOfSand: WHO ARE YOU AND WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO MY EVIL LITTLE BROTHER?

darkbuthopeful: O.o whoa, rage much?

SandsOfBlood: They're weird, but they're family

WindsOfSand: O.O

Puppet_Master: did Gaara just admit that we're his family?

darkbuthopeful: is there something wrong with that?

Gaara sighed beside me. I looked over at him with a questioning look. He glanced at me through the corner of his eye.

"This is the first time since my uncle died that I admitted that I have family to them," He told me. "And have acknowledged the fact that they're my family." I nodded.

darkbuthopeful: no need to be so amazed by that.

Puppet_Master: wait, how do you kno Gaara?

darkbuthopeful: I sit next to him in all our academic classes

WindsOfSand: oh…..

Puppet_Master: how are you still alive then? o.o

I rolled my eyes. They've pin their brother as a murderer? That's nice.

darkbuthopeful: you kno, there are many things about Gaara you don't kno

SandsOfBlood: ….I'm still here you kno…

Puppet_Master: right, sorry Gaara.

SandsOfBlood: whatever.

SandsOfBlood has signed off

darkbuthopeful: word of advice, treat your brother like an actual person

darkbuthopeful: maybe then, you'll see the REAL Gaara and not the cold hearted person you see everyday.

darkbuthopeful has signed out.

I sighed as I signed off AIM and glanced at the redheaded boy next to me. He had a very sad and depressed look in his eyes. He was just staring at the wall.

"Gaara?" I called out, softly to him. No response, he was lost in his own thoughts. I shook my head and got up, putting my laptop back into my bag. "I'm gonna head out now. See ya tomorrow." I exited his room and dorm in silence.

++Dorm++7:00PM++

I entered the place I would be calling home for the next few months to see my dorm mates, along with their friends, on the couch. I sighed. I dropped my stuff on the floor as I walked over and shoved Kisame off his seat and on to the floor, taking his spot. Everyone looked at me. I twitched at the attention.

"What?"

They all, minus Kisame, just laughed. I raised an eyebrow at this. These guys are so weird… I rolled my eyes but smiled. This year is going to be very interesting. My thoughts went back to Gaara and his siblings. And hopefully, I can help that family be a family again.
