I lazily opened my eyes. It was Saturday. Thank God, too. School can become too much at some points. I sat up it my bed and looked at the time. 8:21. That's too early, but I can't fall back asleep, so might as well get up. I threw my legs over the edge of the bed and sighed. I heaved myself off my bed and stumbled out of the room. I walked into my bathroom, and looked at myself in the mirror. I looked like a fucking corpse. I brushed my teeth and let down my hair. I strolled out of the bathroom and walked down the stairs. I smelled pancakes. I walked into the kitchen and saw my mother. She looked up from the pan.
"Morning.", she smiled at me. I mumbled and waved as a response. Naruto came tumbling down the stairs not too long after. "Naruto, put on a shirt, it's freezing!", my mother nagged.
"Tsunade, your not my mother.", he responded, sitting next to me at the breakfast bar. She started laughing.
"Okay, then you can get out of my house.", she told him, smirking. WOAH. WHAT.
"Woah, woah, wait mom, don't cha think that's going too far?!", I squealed. Now it was Naruto's turn to start laughing.
"She's just joking, calm down.", Naruto replied to my outburst. Oh.
"Oh.", I muttered. My phone made a little jingle and I hopped up to get it. I walked over to the coffee table in the living room and strolled back into the kitchen and took my seat next to Naruto again. I looked at the notification. It was a text from Temari. I tapped on the screen and the messaged opened up.
I honestly don't know why I woke up at this ungodly hour. It's way too fucking early. Anyways, wanna come over? I'm bored as hell and nothing's on T.V.
Oh Temari. I shook my head smiling. She was my best girlfriend. Well, aside from Sakura. I replied.
Be there in a bit.
"I'm going to Temari's in a bit.", I openly stated. My mother nodded and began putting pancakes on mine and Naruto's plates.
"Tell the Sand Siblings I said hi!", Naruto said.
"Alright, but why do you call them the 'Sand Siblings'?", I asked.
"'Cuz they're from Suna.", Naruto explained.
"And Suna is a relatively sandy area.", my mother added. I snorted. Wow.
I managed to scarfed down my pancakes in about 5 minutes and I ran upstairs into my bedroom. I closed my door and began to change. I got out a blue sweater that I loved and got some grey skinny jeans out and changed. I did my make up, pulled on a pair of thick socks and walked down the stairs. I got my bag, slipped on my shoes and my coat, yelled a goodbye out the door and walked out. I hopped down the steps that led me down to the side walk and began walking to Gaara, Temari, and Kankuro's house. They didn't really live that far away. All of us lived about a 7 minute walk from each other. What's cool though is that at their house, there's no adults. That's because on her government papers, Temari put down she was about a couple years older than she actually is. So now she's 16 but she's 18 on her papers making her old enough to care for her two brothers. If I was never put up for adoption, I could've lived off myself. But I would probably cut almost everyday then. Good news though, I've been self-harm free since I've got here! I found the house I was looking for and hopped up the steps. I rung the door bells and in about 0.8 seconds, Temari was at the door. Goddamn. She was almost as fast as Luchia. Temari threw the door open, threw me inside and threw it shut so quickly I didn't even blink. The door shut with the loudest slam ever.
"Are you alright?", I asked her, my eyebrow arching up. "And aren't your brothers sleeping?", I added, my eyes grew wide as I looked up the stairs.
"They've been asleep long enough.", she waved her hand around. About two seconds later, I heard doors opening and slamming shut upstairs.
"TEMARI!", I heard Kankuro shout.
"Kankuro, shut the fuck up, it's too early to be yelling like that. And I swear to god when I find that girl I'm gonna tear her limb from limb..", I heard my psycho red-head trail off. Haha, I felt bad for them. I looked at Temari for a second and saw her with a sickening sweet smile plastered on her face. I looked back at the staircase and began to take off my coat. In a couple of seconds one of them came charging down the stairs.
"Temari, you little- oh uh, hey Juliet...", Kankuro greeted me. He looked messed up. His hair was messed up, he was shirtless and he was squinting.
"Why isn't she crying in agony yet, Kankuro?", Gaara said, walking down the staircase and stopped where his older brother did. Gaara looked messed up too. Messed up hair, shirtless as well and was also having his eyes adjust to the new light. He looked at Temari, then me. I began to kick my shoes off. "Hi Jules.", he waved, wide eyed. Yes, he calls me Jules and it's fucking adorable. I waved back, then turned to Temari.
"You bitch, you did this on purpose.", I laughed. She shrugged.
"Maybe.", she admitted. "I just needed you to be a witness if they killed me.", she added. I turned back to the boys.
"Awww, you poor boys!", I started, pouting. I walked up to them and wrapped an arm around each of them.
"You know you're way too kind to them, Juliet.", Temari stated, arms crossed. I laughed.
"Haha, I know. Now you guys go back upstairs and either go back to sleep or put some shirts on. You shouldn't be half naked like this in the middle of December!", I pushed them up the stairs. Wow, I sound like my mom.
"No point in going back to bed, I'm already up.", Kankuro stated. Gaara nodded in agreement.
"Well, whatever, just go put some shirts on!", I commanded. The two of them jogged up the stairs and disappeared into their 2nd floor. I turned back to Temari.
"So whatcha wanna do?", I asked smiling. She shrugged.
"We can go bake something.", she suggested. I nodded.
"Yay! I'd like that. And we're gonna give your brothers some as an apology for waking them up so early on a Saturday.", I turned around and skipped to her kitchen.
"Yeah, then you can feed Gaara some cake.", she slipped in her comment. Wait, WHAT?! I spun around.
"Huh?", I shot up an eyebrow. Temari laughed.
"It's obvious you like him.", she stated.
"Temari, are you sure you're alright? Did someone drug you?"
"Whether you realize it or not, you do."
"Oh, is she finally realizing her love for our little brother?", I heard Kankuro say. I looked at the staircase and and saw him come down.
"Guess so.", Temari responded. I shook my head.
"How many people think this?", I asked them.
"Oh just us two.", Kankuro said.
"They rest think you like Sasuke.", Temari added. My jaw dropped.
"Am I being pranked?", I asked, blinking dumbfounded. I started to look around the room. "Where are the cameras?"
Kankuro and Temari started to laugh. Kankuro walked off into the living room, and Temari walked into the kitchen as soon as they heard Gaara's footsteps come down the stairs. Those bastards. Gaara walked down the stairs and saw me standing there looking like I was about to throw up. He raised a non-existent eyebrow. He walked up to me and put his hand to my head.
"You alright? You like pale.", he asked me, concern in his eyes and voice.
"¿Estoy enamorado de ti?", I nervously said in Spanish. (Translation: Am I in love with you?"). Gaara lightly laughed.
"I don't speak Spanish like you.", he messed with my hair like Kiba usually does.
"Yeah, I'm fine.", I smiled.
"Hey, guys! Stop flirting! Juliet get your ass in here!", Temari called from the kitchen.
"Why does everyone assume that we're always flirting?!", Gaara threw his hands in the air and walked into the living room. I followed after him and made my way to the kitchen. Temari had a smug know it all look washed over her face. I rolled my eyes and took out the cake mix.
"So I heard you guys have a kiss scene to do...", Temari trailed off. I gave her a look that told her to kindly shut the fuck up. She didn't get message. "Maybe you guys could go upstairs to his room and do some...practice."
"Temari, mind your own business!", I heard Gaara call out from the living room.
"Oh, did I mention he's in love with you?"
"TEMARI!"
Kankuro walked into the kitchen, to throw something out.
"He's totally in love with you.", he whispered as he threw a cereal bar wrapper into the trash can.
"I heard that Kankuro!"
