Thanks everyone for still stickin with me. Reviews are loved and appreciated
The mall was huge. Neji and Naruto went off together saying something about food while Ten-Ten dragged me into the first store of the day. It just so happened to be Pac Sun. We were told this morning that we were required to buy two bathing suits since we would al be getting surf lessons when we weren't in class. I was planning on getting at least one anyways. I mean come on, we are on the ocean. DUH! So I turned the tables and grabbed Ten-Ten's hand and dragged her towards the bathing suits first before we looked at anything else.
The first suit I found that I really liked was a black string bikini with rainbow peace signs all over it. Ten-Ten found one that was brown with light pink lily's on it. She also found a yellow tankini with blue waves blowing across the bottom of the top and the back of the bottoms. I found another string bikini that became my all-time favorite. It is silver with emerald green polka dots all over it.
Once we were both decided on the two we wanted, we went to try them on. Ten-Ten took the first dressing room that was open and I started walking down to the next. I was just about to reach the door when I suddenly ran into someone.
"Sorry. I didn't see you there." I turned to the person I ran into. It was a girl with sandy blond hair up in for pony tails.
"Hey, no prob. I didn't see you either. Nice suits. You look new, did you just move here?" The girl asked.
"Yea, I'm Sakura. A group of us just moved to East Sun-"
"Oh your part of the orphan group that our school has takin in! That's so cool. I'm Temari. I' m so excited to meet you. My brothers are so sick of me by now with how much I have talked about you guys getting here and me making a new friend or two. Yay, friend number one." Temari was practically jumping on the tips of her toes.
"Yea, that's us. Um, so you said brothers. They go to school with us too?" I wasn't sure what else top ask. She had me in a state of shock with how excite she was.
"Yea, Kankuro and Gaara, they are actually here right now. Hold on one second, I want to find them so that you can meet them."
Temari turned and ran off into the store somewhere. I wasn't too sure what to do. Should I wait or go ahead and try on my suits. I'm sure Ten-Ten is done by now.
"Hey Sak, whatcha doin just standin there? Have you tried the suits on yet?" Ten-Ten asked with both suits still in hand.
"Oh uh I'm waiting for someone. I just met some girl that goes to our school. I was just about to try these on when I bumped into her and then we started talking. She told me to wait here. She wants her brothers to meet me." I told Ten-Ten while still looking out into the crowd.
"Oh." That's all Ten-Ten could say.
We stood there, awkwardly I might add, for about 2 more minutes before Temari finally showed back up. She had two guys following behind her. One was tall with shaggy brown hair. He is wearing a light purple tank and a pair of tan khakis, the other one?
My god, can you say hot?
I agree. My god he was hot. He had blood red shaggy hair, dark rimmed eyes, and a tattoo of the kanji love on his forehead. He is wearing a black and red tank and a pair of red swim trunks. Oh I could just feel myself start to blush.
"Sakura, this is Kankuro and Gaara. Guys this is Sakura." Kankuro is the brunette while Gaara is the red head. Mm I will NOT forget his name. "She is my new fiend. Oh! I know, let's have a party in one of the dorms, like a welcome party. Oh, who is this Sakura?"
"Oh this is Ten-Ten. We go way back. Ten-Ten this is Temari."
"Hi." Ten-Ten gave a small wave.
"Hi, oh, Yay another fiend. See guys I told you I would make new friends. See these guys are my only friends at the school because everyone else just bores me." Temari said.
I started to tune out Temari as she started to tell us about the different people in the school and how each one bore her. I however, had my eye on Gaara. There was just something about him. He seems quiet, cool, and someone who likes to keep to himself. He just stood there with his hands in his pockets listening to Temari go on and on. He must have felt me starring because he suddenly turned his head and locked eyes with me. I could feel my face flush from embarrassment of being caught.
"So, you in Sakura?" Temari asked.
"Wha- What?" Could I sound any more like an idiot?
"I asked if you were into coming to a party tonight. Ten-Ten said we can have it in your dorm." Temari was beaming by now.
"Oh, yea, sure."
Temari then turned to her brothers, "You guys in?
They both just nodded. I was actually kind of excited to see more of Gaara. We talked just a little bit longer before they said they had to go. I finally tried on my suits and was satisfied. Ten-Ten and I then took off to shop around for some more clothes. We ended up each buying 5 new pairs of shorts, shirts, tanks, shoes, and underwear. We also stopped in a tattoo and piercing shop so that I could finally get the things done that I wanted. I got my belly button, ears, and cartilage pierced and I got a hunter green and brown butterfly on my left shoulder and a pair of rainbow stars on both hips. I am so happy I finally got to get these done. By the time everyone was done shopping it was already five o'clock. Temari had told us before she left that she was gonna tell everyone to be at our dorm by 8, so we had just enough time to get home, put our things away, change, and move furniture before everyone gets there.
The party was great, tons of people showed up from all the different halls. We met a shy girl named Hinata. She is actually one of the roommates Naruto was telling us about. She has short black hair with a bluish purple tint to it. She is very short, and like I said really shy. She would stand there and poke her index fingers together the whole time someone was talking to her. The weirdest thing about her though, was that she has the exact same eyes as Neji. We are gonna have to ask about that later. I ran into Naruto's other roommate too, and I mean literally, I ran straight into him and almost knocked his drink down the front of his shirt, but I didn't. He has brown hair that is up in a pony tail that kind of makes him look like a pineapple head. He kept saying everything and everyone was troublesome. Ha, he was actually funny.
Temari is actually dating the lazy guy, Shikamaru, I finally found out was his name. They have been dating for a year now. Interesting is the only word that comes to mind. My eyes finally land on Gaara. I'm startled to see that his eyes are already on me. I can feel my face heating up as he starts to walk towards me. Before I know it he is in front of me. I can smell his scent. Kind of woodsy with a little bit of musk. He smells delicious.
"Sakura right?" He asks. His voice is deep and a little raspy. My face heats up more at the thought of how much his voice turns me on.
"Um, yea. And your Gaara right?" I asked.
"Yea, nice room. I like the color choice." He smirks.
"Tha- Wait, you were in my room?"
"I don't really like parties. It was quiet in your room."
"Oh." That's the only intelligible thing to come out of my mouth.
Suddenly an arm was slung around my shoulders. I turned my head to see Temari.
"Well Sak, we are all headin out now. Nice party. Can't wait to see you guys tomorrow for your first day experiencing ESH." Temari let go of me and head back towards Shikamaru. It took about 15 minutes until everyone was out the door. Gaara was the last to leave.
"See you tomorrow, Sakura." He said. He gave me a smirk and slight wink as he walked out. That night, all I could think about was that smirk on Gaara's sexy face. And that is the image that I finally fell asleep to.
