The weekend went by waaaay too fast. It was already Monday morning. Yeah. We made cake at Temari's house, and no I didn't feed Gaara. When I came home that day, Sasuke was here and I just ran to my room when I saw him. Though I felt horrible when he called me that night asking if he did something wrong. And nothing happened on Sunday except that I texted Gaara and Sakura all day. At the moment though, I'm putting on my shoes and getting ready to walk to school. Naruto ran off with Haku and Sai, Sakura ran off with Ino and Hinata, and Sasuke ran off with Neji and Shikamaru. So I think I'm gonna walk alone. My phone vibrated in my pocket. Okay, maybe not. I looked at the notification. It was Gaara. I opened the text message.

Hey, Jules. My dipshit siblings ditched me! Mind if we walk to school together? :)

I laughed. It's so weird seeing Gaara text me a smilely face. I don't think I've never seen him actually smile! He just smirks. I quickly typed my reply.

I don't mind. :) See you in a bit.

I pressed send and I watched a notification pop up saying that my message was sent. I slipped on my coat and walked out. I kept on walking down the sidewalk getting scared it might snow. It was too gloomy and...blah. I skipped down the sidewalk and saw a little red-head. He started to walk in my direction and I skipped even faster.

"Hey Juli-OHF", Gaara was cut off when I tackled/hugged him. You know, like how I usually do to Sasuke. I wrapped my arms around his neck and he wrapped his arms around my waist.

"Hug me tighter, I'm freezing.", I squeezed him tighter. He laughed and hugged me tighter. I looked at him and he looked at me.

"Are we late for school?", I raised an eyebrow.

"Pretty much.", he answered. We ended our embrace and began to walk to school.

"Yeah, Sasuke, Sakura, and Naruto all left me alone. So don't feel bad about Kankuro and Temari.", I laughed. Gaara nodded.

"They're still dipshits...", Gaara commented. I nodded.

"True that.", I agreed.

"Nervous 'bout our play?", he randomly asked, kicking a rock.

"Little bit. But I think your nervous about losing your lip virginity...", I trailed off, biting my lip and looking away from him. He stopped walking. So did I.

"My lip virginity?", he started laughing. I nodded.

"It's a thing!", I stated. He started laughing harder. "Well, whatever. We can fake a kiss then!", I threatened, turning away from him and continuing my journey to school. He stopped laughing immediately.

"Woah, woah, woah, I never said I didn't wanna lose my lip virginity!", he quickly stated. I turned to him and smiled.

"I knew I could get you with that one.", I laughed. He blushed.

"Wha-whatever! We're super late! Let's go!", he ran up to me, grabbed my hand and began running. I was following behind him. My hand in his. I swear if we were in our Romeo and Juliet costumes, we would look like we were in a movie. Him being the heroic prince saving the trapped princess, which would be me. We eventually made it to the building and began running up the stairs to our homeroom. We were almost there when we ran into my mother. Fuck.

"Gaara, Juliet, why are you guys late?", she questioned us. I looked at Gaara and practically pleaded for him to come up with a decent lie to tell her through my eyes.

"Oh, uh...", he began, looking at my mother. "Lady Tsunade, we were late because I dropped my wallet on the way to school and your daughter was kind enough to help me find it. It rolled under a car with all that wind blowing.", he lied for me. And for himself, I guess. I nodded and tried to make it believable.

"I'm sorry, mommy..", I looked down at the ground. Wow. Maybe I am a really good actor.

"Well, alright then. That's fine. I'll take you two to homeroom, even though it's about to end in a few minutes.", she turned and walked us down the hall. I looked at Gaara who was looking at me and we tried our hardest not to laugh. Instead we just exchanged a fist bump and continued to walk to our homeroom. My mother opened the door to Kakashi's classroom and all three of us walked in. "They were with me.", she told our sensei. He nodded and my mother walked out of the room.

"Bye mom!", I called after her.

"Shut up and sit down!", she called back. People in my class snickered. I shut the door and huffed.

"Rude.", I stated. Gaara and I then scurried to our seats and sat down. We looked at each other and in a matter of seconds I was in a full blown giggling fit and Gaara was trying his hardest not to laugh. Sakura raised an eyebrow.

"What's so funny?", she asked. That only made me throw my head onto the desk, and Gaara started to laugh too.

"What did you guys do?", Naruto asked, smiling at Gaara and me laughing. I stopped and tried to regain some air. I shook my finger as in saying "no".

"Noth-nothing!", I managed to choke out. Slowly Gaara and I stopped laughing.

"That was brilliant.", Gaara half smiled. I nodded. Sakura then randomly lit up.

"Oh, Juliet! I have to tell you something!", she piped up.

"Okay.", I nodded. The bell rang and Sakura and I went to our lockers. I took off my coat and threw it in my locker. "So what's up?", I asked her, putting my lock back in place on my locker.

"Hinata kinda likes Sasuke and Sasuke wouldn't mind dating her. So she's gonna try to ask him out!", she gossiped. The smile on my face dropped completely. But why? Shouldn't I be happy for them? I guess. "I wouldn't have ever thought they could become an item!", she continued. She looked away from her locker and saw my expression. Her eyebrow shot up.

"You okay?", asked my pink haired friend. I nodded and faked a smile.

"Yeah, just shocked.", I faked a laugh. She nodded.

"But you didn't hear it from me though.", she winked. "Anyways, I gotta get to Band. See you in Science!", she called over her shoulder and ran off with Naruto, Kiba, Lee, and Sai. Shikamaru was lazily strolling behind them and Choji followed. I turned to walk to Art with Sasuke, but Hinata was there talking to him. I don't think I've seen anyone blush so hard. While they were talking, Temari came up behind me outta no where.

"Jealous?", she teased. Looks like she heard about it.

"Get to class!", I pushed her in the opposite direction. Gaara then walked up to me and had weird look on his face.

"I turn around and see you pushing my sister?", he half asked, half stated.

"Now I know why you call her a dipshit.", I laughed. He smirked.

"Want me to walk you to Art?", he offered.

"Wouldn't you be late to Band?", I asked, raising an eyebrow. He nodded.

"Yeah, whatever, who cares. The drums can wait.", he shrugged.

"Oooooo, a bad boy and you play the drums.", I wiggled my eyebrows and winked. Gaara shook his head.

"You're so embarrassing.", he claimed.

"Pfft, you know you love me.", I giggled. "Let's go.", I dragged him to the staircase. I also had a quick glance at Sasuke and he looked at Gaara then me and then focused back to Hinata. Gaara and I took our time going up the stairs and I began skipping once we reached the third floor. I thought Gaara was gonna question me like Sasuke, but he didn't he just half smiled and shook his head. When I ran up back to him, he even let me dance a little with him. I started to laugh and stopped dancing.

"Well, you seem happy.", he said. Well, duh. I'm with you.

"Cause I'm with my psychotic little red-head.", I looked at him.

"It's nice to see you smile...", he trailed off. I felt my cheeks heat up. Oh, no. I think I'm blushing. I looked away from him. "I mean, you always fake a smile, and it's nice to see you have a genuine smile once in a while.", he added. I stopped still. How does he know that I'm usually hiding my depression. "I can tell because I'm just like you.", he explained to me. I looked up at him.

"Gaara you're truly amazing...", I managed to say. That's when the door to the staircase opened and Sasuke walked out.

"Hey, Juliet.", he said the first words he's ever said to me in about 3 days. I nodded my head as a greeting. "Hey, Gaara...what are you doing here?", he asked my little psycho.

"I was walking her to class, cause you were a little busy with Hinata.", he explained. I nodded.

"Well, our class is right here.", I motioned to a nearby classroom.

"I'll see you guys in Math then.", Gaara started to walk away to go Band.

"Wait!", I called after him and ran up to him. He turned around.

"Ye-OHF", I tackled/hugged him again. He started to laugh.

"That's the second time today, and it's only morning.", he laughed. I pulled away from him.

"See you later.", I turned around and started walking towards Sasuke. The late bell rang. "Oh, you badass drummer, your late!", I called over my shoulder to Gaara.

"Haha, so are you.", I heard him shoot back.

"Point taken.", I giggled. Soon enough, Sasuke and I made it into our classroom. We took our usual seats it the back.

"You and Gaara seem to be getting along.", he randomly stated. I nodded and smiled.

"Yeah. He really understands me.", I explained. Sasuke nodded.

"Hinata asked me out.", Sasuke told me. Damnit. She already did it. I pretended to be shocked. I turned to Sasuke.

"Really?", I asked, pulling off a confused and shocked face. Goddamn Juliet, you deserve to win an Oscar! He nodded. "How you gonna tell her no?", I asked, scribbling on my desk. I know he wasn't gonna say yes cause Sakura and Ino used to ask him out all the time when they were 12 and he never said yes.

"I think I might say yes."

Well that's just fucking great.
