A/N: First chapter of Emotionally Retarded, my dear sister believes it is skippy. I agree, but that's how High School fics are if you suck at writing. I do believe I have better stories out there, but this is a spur of the moment thing. I wanted to see how well I could write a story with Gaara as the main character. There really is no plot; I make this shit up as I go -_-… Gomen gomen!
It was late, he knew that, but still, something had kept him staring out his window into the dark sky. The sun was about to rise. He knew this because it was so black outside, and the darkest part of the night, was before the sun rose. Just like, before he moved to Konoha he was alone and inside the darkness. Then Uzumaki Naruto had reached out to him and became his friend some three years ago.
Now he, Gaara, was in his first year in Konoha High. A nice school with terrible students, he didn't mean grades, well some of them weren't doing to well, but, he meant they could all do with a personality change. Now, he wasn't one to complain, but the number of bitches there was very high.
"Gaara, time to get up!" The red head heard his sister call.
He pounded lightly on his floor. A sign to Temari her brother would be down stairs soon.
"Hurry up, Naruto's here!" This early? That was odd, Naruto usually waited at his house for Gaara to pick him up. The red haired boy stood up from his spot, he hadn't realized the sun was already towards the center of the sky, he looked to his clock and saw that is was 6:35. He walked into his bathroom shedding his nightclothes and dumping them on the floor. He stood in front of the mirror in his boxers. He found it hard not to laugh at himself. He was short, scrawny, and certainly not, in his opinion, "sexy". He wondered why Temari asked him to deal the "Dirty Details" as she put it, of his school life.
All he did was go to class, eat lunch, read during lunch, and go home… With the occasional fight, but hey, no one was perfect, right? He didn't bother to brush his hair, it looked fine. It was not as spiky as Naruto's, but it was red, attention grabbing, and easy to handle. All he had to do was ruffle it a bit, and viola.
After finding it under some clothes, he applied his eyeliner and pulled on his school top, leaving the first two buttons undone he tied his tie. He slid on his pants and walked out of his room.
"Ohaiyo!" Naruto greeted.
"Hn." Gaara sat next to his best friend and grabbed an apple.
"You two are gonna be late if you don't hurry, Gaara, your shoes are by the door, if you can't find your bag it's probably under the coffee table." Temari said before giving her little brother a kiss on the cheek, which he quickly wiped off with his hand and glared at her.
"I told you not to do that!" He complained.
"Aw, c'mon Gaara!" Temari pouted.
"Where's Kankuro?" He asked, changing the subject.
"Sleeping in. You better wake him up before you leave, he'll be ready." I hope, she added mentally to herself. Her brother slept like a rock, but moved like a fucking racecar.
"If not, I'm leaving him." Gaara stated walking up the stairs with naruto following behind.
Kankuro's room was like another world! There was stuff everywhere, and… was that a dirty magazine? There lay Kankuro, snoring loudly with his mouth hanging open to let drool drip from the corner. "Wake up, dumb oaf!" Gaara said kicking his dear older brother, who in response said, "I love you Mr. Teddy" and curled into a ball sucking his thumb. Gaara looked to his friend, who grinned as his eyes asked, "can I?" Gaara nodded smirking while Naruto left the room and walked into the kitchen, later coming back with a punch bowl filled with ice-cold water. Gaara couldn't help himself, as Naruto ran into the room, he stuck his foot out and "accidentally" tripped his blonde friend. The water spilled over his brother, who yelped and jumped out of bed.
"What the hell did you do that for?" His brother screamed.
"It's time to go." Was Gaara smug reply. Looking at his brother, he found to his surprise, Kankuro was wearing his school uniform, and you could see through the spots where the water had hit him, which was all over. He couldn't help but make comparisons.
Kankuro; Toned chest, tall, strong, pecks, and all that.
Gaara; Pale as a vampire, short, strong-ish (he could certainly knock that stubborn jackass Hyuuga down.) with no pecks, just a flat chest and stomach.
Oh, how life gave him shit. Inwardly sighing, he walked out of his brother's room and descended the stairs. He walked to the front door and pulled his shoes on, walking into the living room, he saw his bag lying under the table. Getting on all fours he crawled and reached for his bag, until he heard Naruto's voice, "Wow Gaara, what a perfect ass!" The blonde laughed. Snatching his bag, he snapped up. "Better than yours." The boy growled. "Hey!" Naruto whined. "Let's go, dobe." Gaara said the last part in a very good impression of Sasuke. Naruto froze and blushed. "Ooh, below the belt!" The boy shouted. Gaara smirked.
His brother was waiting by the door for them. "'Bye Temari." Kankuro called.
"'Bye Temari-san!"
"Later."
"Bye guys, have fun!" Temari called after them.
"'Shika coming over tonight?" Naruto asked. Temari and Shikamaru had a 'thing'. Meaning, Temari forced him to date her, but they all knew he wanted too. "She just made the first move," he had said.
"Yeah." Gaara nodded, "We should SO have a party!" Naruto exclaimed.
"Great!" Gaara agreed.
"Really?" "Yeah, when you find someone who's willing to have High Schoolers destroy there house, give me a call." "Ugh, c'mon Gaara! It'll be fun; we can have it at your guys' house!" Naruto argued. "How about yours?" Kankuro suggested. "Iruka would kill me, are you crazy?" They were nearing the school now, "Well, I'll be seeing you freshman later, 'can't be seen talking with the un-cool kids." He said ruffling Gaara's hair, his little brother swatted the offending hand away, but smirked at his brother. "Whatever, you're just jealous you can't do what we do!" Naruto said sticking his tongue out. "What, embarrassing yourselves and making a scene?" Kankuro joked. "Pfft, yeah right! I never make a scene!" Naruto shouted loudly causing some people to stare. "Keep thinking that genius." Kankuro said giving Naruto a quick thumbs up before walking over to his own group.
"I'll find someone who'll let us have the party at their house." Naruto said. "Yes, someone who will let-" "I know! Hinata! She's always so nice!" Gaara just stared at Naruto open mouthed. "Shy Hinata?" He asked. "Yeah, she won't say 'no'! I know it!" 'You mean she can't say 'no'. Gaara thought, the poor girl was... Fragile… If he were to put it. She would become a stuttering mess around Naruto.
"What if she faints?" Gaara asked. "Oh…" The brightness around Naruto suddenly disappeared, then reappeared. "Neji! He's Sasuke's best friend!" "Who?" "Neji Hyuga, duh." Naruto said slowly. "I know you meant Hyuga, I meant why?" Gaara said annoyed. They stopped in front of Naruto's locker. "Well, why not? Sasuke can't say no to me!" In middle school it had gone around Naruto had a crush on Sasuke… Let us just say that all problems were solved in the gym showers after school. Gaara shuddered at what he walked in on. Now Naruto and Sasuke were dating, they got pushed around sometimes, mainly Naruto, because Sasuke was to 'cool'. "I-I guess." Gaara said blushing. He didn't like the fact Hyuga would be there. One rich prick was enough, but now Neji had to be the one they ask.
"I'm sure Neji finds you sexy." Naruto offered smiling in an understanding way that scared Gaara. He shushed Naruto and quickly covered the blonde's mouth and looked around. Naruto laughed and patted his poor emotionally retarded friend's shoulder. The bell rang and Gaara made a fast retreat to his own locker quickly putting the number in and grabbing his books out. First class was Math with Kakashi.
A/N: so, tell me what you think, should I continue, or just stop because I fail like a bitch? ^.^ CHAPTERS WILL GET LONGER!
