Secrets

Chapter 3

[Sasuke]

I kicked the rocks along the street, taking faster steps to get to the front gate before more people showed up.

Rather than just going in the building I was stopped by a loud blond. "Hey! You!" He ran up to me, smiling down at me. "Are you new?" I snarled at the word but nodded, it was my first year here but its been 2 months since I showed up, I'm surprised he even decided to approach me. "Wanna be friends? Sorry if its sudden but nobody really shows up this early to school so it would be nice to know the one person who does."

My annoyed look subsided. I couldn't help but let a small smile sneak and take over the frown that was on my face. I don't know what came over me but I agreed, he just seemed to make me melt. Makes sense, it's the Naruto Uzumaki after all. He was one of the more attractive guys in our school, I had only come 2 months ago and I already knew that. Also how could I ignore my sexuality when he looked like that, not to mention how much of a troublemaker he was. Not to mention that everybody in his friend group was popular or good looking.

It was pointless to ignore it because you just couldn't. You can't ignore that everybody is huddling around them, everyone asking to sit at their lunch table, or to even get a picture with one of the girls. They weren't even celebrities and they were treated like royalty.

Sometimes I did get jealous, but now I can understand what all the girls said about him. Soft yet spiky blonde hair, ocean blue eyes, his toothy girn and his overwhelming personality. All of this would make a girl swoon within seconds, trust me, when I tried flirting with a girl they dropped to the floor with how flattered they were. If I can do it any guy can.

"Whats your name?"

His demanding voice forced me out of my thoughts before I could even answer a swarm of girls came running in our direction, knocking me off my feet and dragging Naruto down with me.

What I assumed was his friend, was also being dragged by these fan girls. "Naruto! Man you have to help me! These girls are crazy!" He screamed. The volume was enough to make me wince.

'Was that Shikamaru? No way. He was one of the chillest and most laid back people in the whole school, everybkdy thought he was cool. Even I seemed to think so.' That made my eyes widened widened shock. You never would've heard him raise his voice above the usual monotone and if he did I doubt it would be in public.

So Naruto knew him? Wow, just as I thought the blonde couldn't get more impressive. He knew the schools most admired and followed student. Only being in his sophomore year he managed to attract more attention than most highschoolers would during all 4 years of hell.. I mean highschool.

That was insane, and the guy was standing right in front of the two who were surrounded with what he assumed were Narutos and Shikamarus fangirls. Most of them were Shikamarus no doubt.

Naruto turned to me and apologise before he grabbed Shikamarus hand and ran, faster than J could ever.

He was so fast I just stood there in school, not noticing the pink haired and blonde haired girl that stood beside me, waiting for me to notice them. To nobody's surprise they got bored of me watching Naruto and grabbed my attention by latching onto my arms.

"Sasuke~" Their voiced rang out, even more high pitched.. And were they harmonising? I couldn't stop a smile before looking down at the table girls, somehow glaring at each other and leading me towards a class room. How did.. How did they even know my schedule?

They might be stalkers... But whatever it was I didn't mind. They were leading me to class without anybody disturbing me like usual, I didn't mind, even if their.. Breasts, were pressed against me, making my cheeks flush I manged to keep myself composed before they sat me down.

I simply watched the two girls brawl over who sat next to me today, it was a routine if both girls managed to arrive at the same time. They would just fight while I watched, not sure with what I should do.

A red haired boy comes up and looks at me. "This seat taken?" His voice was low and soothing, not enough to even make the girls bat an eyes, I shook my head and he sat down.

His blue eyes scanned the two girls, huffing at the scene unfolding in front of him. I understood the feeling all too well and smiled at him, at least I could make one friend, right?

"Gaara."

He looked straight ahead, watching the door slide open, keeping his eyes on our teacher that slipped in quietly.

Sakura and Ino stopped fighting, seeing that Gaara had taken the seat already they huffed, threatening him before they headed off to find another empty seat they could sit in.

"My name is Gaara. You?"

Sasuke panicked, he could barely get a whimper out, how was he going to tell him his name? Paper.. Writing, right he has a pen he can use it.

'Sasuke's

•  •  •
He smiled at the sympathetic look on Gaaras face. He knew the red haired boy understood the moment he started writing and it made him happy. Somebody knew and that's all the validation he needed in his pathetic life.

"Nice to meet you Sasuke, hope we can be friends."
Gaara smiled softly at the nod and wide smile he received from the other. Sasuke was and angle in his eyes and he wanted to protect this new friend he made so soon.

He had others but nobody like Sasuke. He could tell, by the way he smiled and by the way his eyes and skin were so dull, so pale and worn out that something was wrong. He always had an eye for stuff like that and now..

He was going to protect the poor boy.
