Not a monster [Gaara of the sand love story] Modern au

Chapter thirteen: First day of classes

It was two weeks after the trio went back to school that Sarina was enrolled into the school. Sarina was a bit iffy about being in the school until she saw that Sasuke was the one who took her around the school. She happily walked beside Sasuke as he showed her to their homeroom class. She was introduced to their homeroom teacher Mr. Sarutobi before he introduced her to the males he was friends with.

She was fairly shy to be around so many people but tried her best to be polite and sincere to them. She tried to remember their names but her head hurt trying to remember them. Sasuke placed a hand on her shoulder as he smiled at her. "Don't worry you'll get used to it sooner or later Sarina, don't push yourself down too much."

She nodded her head as she looked to him. "Alright Sasuke."

When the announcements went on she didn't know what to do so Sasuke showed her how to say the pledge before the two of them left out just to get to her first class which was on the other side of the school. As they walked the deserted halls Sarina looked to Sasuke curiously. "Sasuke, other than homeroom do I have any classes with you or Gaara? I don't want to be alone in class." She said concerned

"Yeah actually, your first two classes you have with Gaara but the other's you have with both of us if not just with me." Sasuke explained

She nodded her head. "A-Alright. That's good."

"If you ever need help don't hesitate to ask Gaara or I." Sasuke said with a smile

"Alright, I won't. I know that I'll be very confused at first."

They then got to a classroom that was already empty. He went in with the brunette female only to introduce her to the Art teacher Ms. Yuhi. Sasuke then left for his own class as Gaara came in with a few other students as the teacher was explaining to Sarina what they were doing. Sarina then was told to sit beside Gaara so she did as she began to work on the assignment that they were all given.

As they worked people in the class talked with one another until the class ended-Gaara noticed how Sarina didn't talk at all due to being so focused with her drawing. He had to nudge her to get her attention so Sasuke could take her to her next class. Throughout the entire day she found herself talking less than she ever had mainly due to the fact that she felt very uncomfortable there.

It wasn't until lunch that she talked since she sat with Gaara and Sasuke as well as a few of their friends-female and male alike. She sat between the two males as they were explaining who she was. Naruto and Sakura remembered her being at gaara's place during the Christmas break and both of them spoke up.

"It's good to see you again Sarina, you haven't gotten to confused here have you?" Sakura asked with a smile

She shook her head. "No...not really. Gaara and Sasuke have been really nice and been helping me around as of late." Sarina said sincerely

Sakura's eyes widen. "Really?"

"Mhm, Sasuke is supposed to be my guide around school and Gaara helps him from time to time when I have the same classes as him." Sarina explained

Naruto then spoke up. "You seem to be really close to Sasuke and Gaara." Naruto commented

"Well Gaara's family took me off the streets and I knew Sasuke from before I lost my family and home so of course I'm going to be close to both of them." Sarina explained with a shrug

"Wait-you knew him beforehand?" Sakura asked confused

"Sakura don't badger Sarina-I was the one who asked to be her friend not the other way around. Anyways-we're just friends. I'm not going to ask her out or anything like that. I refuse to get into a relationship in school, it's stupid and causes drama plus stress that I don't need." Sasuke said with a sigh

Sarina looked to Sasuke skeptically. "Sure...just skate right over the problem, that usually works out."

Sasuke rose an eyebrow at her. "Got a problem with what I said Sarina?"

"Kinda, you obviously don't see how much not just one but two girls at this table looks at you like." Sarina said motioning to Ino and to Sakura.
