Chapter Two
Naruto as Amazingly not as much of an idiot
Gaara as Jealous (of course)
Sasuke as Not really doing anything (get your head in the game Sasuke)
Sakura as Evil in the best way
Tenten as Talkative
and Ino as Also evil in the best way
When lunch finally came around, Naruto sat with the usual people; Sasuke, Sakura, Choji, Ino, and Shikamaru. As Naruto ate, he glanced around the lunchroom, waiting for someone, anyone to come up to him.
"So who is it?" He asked Ino in a hushed voice as she poked at her chicken.
"You'll know when you see her."
"How?"
"You'll know when you know, just be patient."
"Naruto!" Naruto was tackled by someone who wasn't sitting at his table and definitely was a girl.
Naruto turned, really? THIS was her? Tenten smiled at him politely as she said, "Come on." And dragged him off. Naruto gave Ino and Sakura and incredulous look like really? This is the best you could come up with? as Tenten pulled Naruto to her table.
Shikamaru frowned. "I didn't know Naruto and Tenten were so close."
Ino shrugged. "I heard they're dating." She said, casting a knowing look at Sakura who smirked in return.
"I saw them kiss the other day." The pink haired girl offered evilly.
Naruto was just having the greatest day. His ex was either moving on or making him jealous, so he was forced to resort to pettiness to get him back. Tenten. Don't be fooled by the cute but slightly badass exterior, this girl will talk your ear off.
"So, there's this party I was thinking we could go to, you know the one tonight?"
Naruto hesitated. "Yeah, I'm not sure if that's really Gaara's scene."
"Yeah, I'm not sure if it's Shoji's either, but we have to go to social events, you know spread the word about us."
Naruto scratched the back of his head. "Right. Sure I guess."
Tenten frowned. "You're slouching, don't do that."
"Got it." He sat straighter, then, smiling mischievously, he leaned over and kissed her.
"What are you doing?" Tenten asked, pulling away slightly.
"Well, we have to spread the word about us, right? What better way than to kiss in the lunchroom?"
Tenten grinned. "I like the way you think." She grabbed him by the front of the shirt and pulled him into the kiss. His hand came up into her hair, she wasn't a bad kisser, she just wasn't as good as Gaara. She pulled back, giggling softly. "Wow, you're a good kisser." She said, smiling.
Naruto put a hand to his chest, pretending to be offended. "And you thought I wouldn't be?"
Her eyes widened, as if she thought she'd actually hurt him. "No, that's not-"
Naruto brought his face closer to hers. "I know what you meant," He dropped a quick kiss on her forehead. "I was kidding."
She smiled sheepishly. "Oh."
Naruto pulled back and laughed. "You take everything way too seriously Tenten, try and loosen up a bit."
She clasped her hands together, her eyes shining. "Okay!"
Gaara narrowed his eyes. Tenten? Seriously? He sighed. From the moment he'd met Naruto, he knew he'd liked him. But he'd pretended he hadn't. He had always been very good at ignoring his feelings, so not persuing Naruto was easy at first. Unfortunately he hadn't known how persistent that boy could be. Naruto was constantly following him around, making him smile, and goofing off. After a few weeks Naruto finally asked him out. Gaara had said no the first time, but that didn't discourage Naruto, and soon asking Gaara out had been a daily thing. It got to the point where Gaara eventually said yes just to shut Naruto up. The date went great, and Gaara promised himself he'd never do it again; he wasn't looking for a relationship, he needed to focus on school. But then there was a second and a third date. And then the two boys were kissing and holding hands and before Gaara even knew what to call it, Naruto was calling Gaara his boyfriend. The most surprising thing was, Gaara liked that. He liked being called Naruto's boyfriend. He liked the way Naruto would pull him in close and whisper something funny in his ear, or the way he'd never forget to kiss Gaara goodbye and hello.
Then suddenly things changed; Naruto avoided him, he became almost paranoid. He would turn the other way whenever he saw Gaara in the hallway, he got all shy about kissing in public, and whenever Gaara brought up going out, Naruto would always say he was busy. It was like dating a ghost. And finally, Naruto broke up with him. So Gaara did what any person would do, he decided to try to make Naruto jealous.
It seemed to be working, well until Naruto showed up in the lunch room with Tenten. Gaara poked at his food. It's not as if he should be surprised or anything, Naruto was - well, Naruto. he bounced back like a rubber ball. Maybe Gaara was wrong, maybe they weren't anything special, maybe Gaara was just a fluke in Naruto's perfect player record. And that made anger rush through Gaara's veins like fire.
If Naruto really didn't care about Gaara, then he'd know soon enough. Jealousy was a game, and Gaara was going to do whatever it took to win.
Hey guys, so this time if you read this and liked it, leave a comment/review because I really don't know how to react when nobody tells me their opinion. It's hard to make changes if I don't even know if you want me to or not. If you didn't like it, great, move on, if you did, then TELL ME! Because believe it or not, I actually want to know what everyone thinks. Sigh. Also, comment your favorite character, because I also like to know that kind of stuff too. ONE MORE THING; if you leave a comment with a description of an OC, I might put him/her in. But be warned, I'm only doing three per chapter (at most), so don't be sad if your OC doesn't get in, it will happen eventually. Anyway, see ya!
