Disclaimer: I do not own naruto
"New school…yay…" sighed Naruto. It was going to be another hateful, boring year at a new school. Except this school was a boarding school unlike the other public schools he had been to. His parents cared, sure, but sometimes the blonde was just too much for them. They thought sending him to some fancy school would help him straighten things out. Ch. In a million years.
Upon arriving at the school he was rushed towards his dorm and there he met his roommates. It was four to an apartment like thing and they all had two rooms in them. Meaning that Naruto would have to share with someone. They counselor person introduced him to his roommates.
One of the boys had red hair and pale green eyes with black outlining them. He wore a loose black shirt and black cargo pants. The counselor introduced him as Sabaku no Gaara. The boy just glared at him and walked off.
Another boy had long brown hair. His eyes were totally white and had no pupils; it was kind of unnerving to look at him. He wore a white shirt and black shorts (Kori: because I say so). This boy was named Hyuuga Neji. Neji nodded his head in courtesy and left in the direction that Gaara went.
The last boy had black hair and black eyes (Kori: gee what a coincidence). He had a navy blue shirt and white shorts on.
"This, Naruto, is who you'll be sharing your room with. His name is Uchiha Sasuke," said the Counselor person who I now officially name Iruka (Kori: because he was the first person I thought of besides Kakashi and you wouldn't want Kakashi as a counselor would you? No? I didn't think so). Naruto nodded and the other boy glared at him and left. Well this was hell. All of his roommates seemed to dislike him already. Eh oh well, not like I care everyone else seems to hate me.
Naruto's parents helped him bring his stuff up to his room and then left their son with a couple of goodbyes. Naruto watched them vanish into the distance and then sighed. Then smirked and trudged back up to his dorm/apartment.
When Naruto stepped into the living room the first thing he saw was a wall. Duh. And then he looked on the couch to see Gaara sitting there listening to his CD player.
"Uh….-" started Naruto.
"Sh! You don't want to disturb him. C'mon I'll help you unpack," offered Sasuke. Naruto nodded dumbly and followed the raven haired boy to their room. Naruto and Sasuke soon got all of Naruto's stuff set up and Sasuke was now giving the blonde a 'tour' of their 'home.'
"Let's see where to start. Well out here is the living room type thing. Biggest room in this apartment. There's Gaara the scariest person on campus and it's his first year here. His only friend so far is Neji; he's been here for one and a half. Hey Gaara," said Sasuke. Gaara just nodded and continued to listen to his music. They wandered into the kitchen and found Neji sitting at the table doing his homework.
"This is the kitchen. If you want anything edible you'll probably find it here. Oh and note never eat anything that is gray and pukish looking. That's Gaara's and Gaara is the only one who eats it," explained Sasuke.
"Well Neji seems to be eating er… drinking it," Naruto pointed out.
"Well…anyone who's Gaara's friend can stand that stuff," said Sasuke.
"Gee you're so nice to Gaara. No wonder he hates you," mumbled Neji. "Oh mind you don't eat anything that has Gaara's name on it either… not that it's much."
"Be quiet Neji, baka," mumbled Sasuke.
"At least I'm not the one Gaara is glaring at right now," said Neji.
"What?" asked Sasuke in confusion. In the background he heard an 'ahem.'
"Neji, your CD. Sasuke you can drink some of the gray puke," said Gaara. He glared and Sasuke gulped and shook his head, while taking a step backwards. Neji sighed and grabbed Gaara's arm to prevent the boy from attacking Sasuke and shook his head no. Gaara glared at Neji, then Sasuke, and left.
"Well that was…interesting…" said Naruto; staring at Gaara's retreating figure.
Sasuke sighed in relief and said, "Only when you're not the one getting glared at."
"Are all the people here this crazy?" asked Naruto.
"No only him," replied Neji. "Unless you count that dude…what's his name?"
"Kiba? Shikamaru? Shino? ….hmmm…Rock Lee?" suggested Sasuke.
Neji nodded, "That's the kid."
"Oh god he's so annoying. Fuzzy brows is what you should call him. He's weirder than Gaara and this other kid named Shino," explained Sasuke to Naruto sat there lost. "Rock Lee is crazy. He wears all green and is all emotional. He looks almost exactly like the science teacher, Gai."
"Oh the dude in all green with some orange? With those really thick brows?" asked Naruto.
"Yeah that's him. Did you hear the doorbell ring?" asked Neji.
"Yep," answered Naruto. Neji got up to go get the door and Naruto and Sasuke continued their conversation. "So I should stay away from this Lee kid?"
"Yeah. Stay away from Gai too. He gives out speeches about how we're wasting our childhood," stated Sasuke.
"So…do you have a reason for being at this school?" asked Naruto.
"My parents sent me here so that I could be like my big brother. Except he's insane. There's another person that's insane. He's okay sometimes though. His name's Uchiha Itachi, but you won't be seeing much of him since he's two years ahead of us," explained Sasuke.
"What about Neji?" asked Naruto.
"What about me?" questioned Neji as he walked back into the kitchen.
"Who was at the door?" asked Sasuke.
"Shino, Kiba, Chouji, and some other dudes who wanted to have a party here tomorrow so that they could welcome Naruto to the school. So what about me?" asked Neji.
"Just wondering why you are here. You seem like a 'not trouble maker,'" said Naruto.
"Ah. I'm here because my uncle doesn't want me in his house anymore since my father died. He said that I was too hateful of him. Which I'm not but I hate almost everyone else in the family," explained Neji.
"Oh… What about Gaara then?" inquired the blonde.
"Him? He's here because he's homicidal. He has a sister and a brother; his brother's here. He was a former insomniac and he liked to kill things. His father sent him here because of that. All that because his mother died and his father couldn't control him," sighed Neji.
"Jeez Neji do you stalk me or something?" asked Gaara; who had walked into the room unnoticed while Neji was talking.
"Ch. It wouldn't be that hard to since you share the same room as me," stated Neji.
"So you do?"
"No. I hear you sleep talk a lot…and I read your journal" mumbled Neji.
"What? I didn't hear that last part," said Naruto.
"Neji? Why have you been reading my journal?" asked Gaara; his right eye twitching slightly.
"Neji's a dead man," stated Sasuke. (Gee that was inspiring.)
"I was bored?" Neji said hesitantly; sweat dropping.
"When was this?" asked Gaara; whose right hand was clenching into a fist. He was twitching visibly and everyone was afraid. Very afraid.
"Um…last week?" Gaara hissed and jumped at Neji. He wrapped his hands around Neji's neck and pounded his friend's head against the floor. "How dare you read my journal! You purposely looked into it! And read my written thoughts!"
Sasuke and Naruto stood off to the side; afraid that Gaara would hurt them too. The red head continued to suffocate his 'dear' friend. As a last resort Neji raised his hand weakly and touched the younger's backside. Almost immediately the green eyed boy jumped off of him. He glared while blushing and then held out a hand. Neji immediately sucked in air; then looked at his friend who was holding out his hand.
The brunette sighed. They had been through this enough times already. It always started with Gaara trying to strangle him. Then the white-eyed boy would end up doing what he just did, and then the red head would stop and offer his hand. Gaara would then apologize and so would Neji and they'd go on with their daily lives. No one knew why, or how, they were friends, or why Gaara never killed Neji. It was just another mystery of the boy.
Neji took the offered hand and the two apologized. Naruto stood there looking confused, again. Sasuke just shrugged and said, "They do this every once in awhile. It becomes part of this life after awhile."
Naruto just nodded. Later they ended up finding out that Naruto liked Ramen so they had that for lunch and dinner.
