Me: Hey, so my sister seems to think that I need authors notes at the beginning of my chapters so me and 13 will be covering that from here on out. I'd like to send a thank you to all of my reviewers, Death Sender, Maximoffs forever, and Jinjagirl25. As well as a thank you to all the silent readers.
About the chapter, I will be introducing Gaara in this chapter and using his point of view from time to time. Oh and this is set before Gaara's Uncle tries to kill him. I'm not sure if the timing is right but it seemed to fit the story.

13 : Enjoy.


Gaara's POV

Just breathe.

I had to tell myself this three times before I could finally walk into the school.

Each day was similar. I would walk into school and kids would avoid me like I was sick with something they could catch. I'd try to ignore it and get to class quietly. No need to make them more mad by letting them know it upset me.

As he entered the classroom the students all got quiet and began to whisper. He noticed a new kid sitting at the desk he was heading towards. The kid was wearing the normal set of brown clothes children wear to keep their skin protected and a hat that covered the top half of the kids face.

Weird, we almost never get new kids. He thought.

The desks were set up so that there were three kids at each desk. Usually Gaara sat alone though. No one wanted to sit next to him and the teacher didn't scold anyone if they moved their chair to another table, making it four at one desk and two at his.

But today there was the new kid at his desk. He expected him to walk away as soon as he sat down and was surprised when he didn't.

Everyone else stared at them.

"Hey, new kid!" Someone whisper yelled.

"Hn?"

"You can come sit with us." Said a girl with greenish hair and brown eyes.

"I'm fine." He answered.

Huh, I guess he doesn't know me yet. Gaara thought to himself. I wonder how long he's staying in town.

The teacher walked in pulling Gaara from his thoughts and stopping the rest of the kids from harassing the new kid.

"So," the teacher started,"it seems we have a new student with us today. Would you like to come introduce yourself?"

"No." He answered.

Gaara looked over at the kid as well as everyone else in the classroom. The teacher looked stunned for a moment before clearing his throat.

Great, thought the teacher, a trouble maker.

"Oh? Well why don't you just come up here and tell us a few things about yourself anyway, alright?" He said in a nice voice.

"Alright." He answered emotionlessly.

He stood up and went to the front.

"I'm Sasuke. Call me Sasuke."

He started to walk back to his seat.

"Wait, lets ask Sasuke some questions, anyone?"

"Whats your last name?" Asked a boy with spiky brown hair.

"I'm not sure."

The green haired girl from earlier raised her hand.

"Yes, Miu?" The teacher said quickly moving on.

"Where are you from?" She asked shyly.

"I don't know." Sasuke answered.

"What do you like to do for fun?" asked another kid.

Sasuke stayed silent for a moment.

"Not much." He finally answered.

"How long are you staying in town?" A kid voiced Gaaras thoughts from earlyer.

"As long as I do." Sasuke answered blankly.

"Why don't you know anything about yourself?" Asked the first kid snickering.

Sasuke glared at the boy, though the boy couldn't see it.

After that there was an uncomfortable silence.

"Okay, well class starts soon, so why don't you go sit back down." The teacher said.

Sasuke nodded his head and sat back down next to Gaara.

He's kind of strange. Gaara thought to himself.


Sasuke POV

Hmph, why did I even need to go up there? Sasuke fumed. He hated standing in front of a group of people, especially if said people were asking him stupid questions.

He began to listen to the teacher, Manabu-sensei he reminded himself, as he started to drone on about chakra flow.

I already know this. He thought in irritation.

Then he remembered what Chun had said before school and he smirked, already tuning the teacher's voice out. He began to drift off when a bell suddenly rang.

"Recess, everyone. Remember, we only have thirty minutes so lets use it wisely and eat our lunches." He said trying to stop any fights before they started.

Sasuke sat in the shade of the building as everyone piled out into the school yard. The kid with red hair and black around his eyes was coming over now. He paused before sitting down and opening up his lunch bag.

He ate silently and so did Sasuke.

When Sasuke finished he got up and threw away his trash. Then he went inside straight to the library. He walked around a moment before picking a book about chakra control and headed back to the classroom. He sat down and read for the rest of recess.
