High school for the broken and stupid
Chapter 7
The rant
Previously
I'm a monster, what if I had killed him? Why is Deidara still friends with me now that she knows I'm a disgusting freak? Why?
Deidara broke his thoughts " Gaara, what the hell was that? I want to know everything, the sand, your brother, your dad, everything" Gaara sighed. He should have known that he wasn't going to get off that easy.
Currently
As they sat with their arms together against the thick branched tree. They had picked this secluded spot especially as not to be overheard.
"Gaara, I'm not getting any younger, un"
"I know, sorry" Gaara sighed "Okay I suppose I should try and explain this in the simplest way possible… I was born with this… sand, it protects me, against my own will. And it cost my own mothers' life. My father has always believed it was my fault she died… and maybe it is but –sigh- I don't know. I don't know whether to be glad or not when the sand blocks the things father throws at me, that anyone throws at me. I live on a pretty bad street, and violent people seem constantly drawn to me. I have always been able to protect myself, I couldn't always control the sand though. When I was a kid, all the kids in school ganged up on me (some more than twice my age) and I didn't mean to do it but my emotions went wild and I I… I hurt them, all of them. I was so scared of myself of what I could do –I still am- and everyone else was too. Especially Kankuro and Temari, some people were so smug about it, I'd proved that I was the freak everyone had thought I was from the moment I was born"
Gaara felt a weight lift off his heart as he, for the first time ever spoke his side of the story. And Deidara was listening. The weight was soon replaced with an equally heavy one, saying it aloud made it so much more… depressing.
As Gaara mused to himself, Deidara thought over everything the red head had just said, she was sure there was more, but she wouldn't force it out of him.
Deidara wrapped her arms around Gaara in a comforting hug. He stiffened in her embrace for a moment before relaxing into it, fighting with the paranoia in the back of his head telling him not to trust her.
"Gaara" Deidara said with a voice that commanded him to listen, and he would, he would hang on every word she said, as she had for him " Don't you ever feel alone, okay? And there is no way it's your fault that your mother died you and your dad –Gaara winced- are both idiots for thinking so" Deidara smiled at Gaara, who smiled back and jumped up from their hug,
"Oh and by the way Sakura was right, you are short" Deidara smirked and Gaara got up from the ground and rubbed the dirt off his jeans.
"I thought that was Ino" Gaara smirked as he sauntered to keep up with Deidara who had started walking away.
"Yea, yea same difference" Deidra shrugged as Gaara caught up with her. Then he stopped abruptly, causing Deidara to pause too. He frowned
"I am not short" Deidara bit a lip for a fraction of a moment –to be polite- before bursting out into what can only be described as maniacal laughter. Gaara smiled slightly too but it was more out of how ridiculous his best friend –yes best friend- looked. Briefly looking around, he saw that they had indeed picked a secluded place. There was no one there to stare at the odd pair. Then a thought crossed his mind and he grabbed Deidaras' arm –not painfully- reading the Hello Kitty –" Hello Kitty, Seriously?" "I thought it was cute, un"- watch on her slim wrist.
"Yep, just as I thought, we're 35 minutes late for class. Again"
"Really, un?"
"Well, I guess there's no point in going back now with only ten minutes left of class. Coffe?"
"Definetly, yea"
And together our heroes made their way to the coffee machine by the lockers only to be stopped by a hall monitor who was promptly taken care of by Deidara.
