After a very long journey, she was finally there. Not that she WANTED to be there, but anything was better than the car, she got sick easily. Besides, she wasn't very close to her family anyway, so she felt uncomfortable during the 6 hours of the journey, sitting next to her cousin, who apparently hated her.

She go out of the car and got her bags out. It was terribly hot, what was she even thinking about when she decided to keep her hair long? She followed the rest to the entrance of her new school.

Konoha high school. It was carved on a big piece of wood at the entrance. It was bigger than she had imagined. Of course, she was used to her public school, her family didn't want to spend a lot on her education, everyone seemed to dislike her. The money they didn't spend on her they spent on her cousin. It was his third year at Konoha High, and he was one year older so they wouldn't be together anyway.

"Ne-Neji…"

"What do you want now?"

"Y-you left this behind, I just wanted to – "she handed him his bracelet. He snatched it from her, without even thanking her, but she was used to that.

She was only there because she got good grades, and she could stay a year at Konoha High without paying, as long as her grades were all excellent.

They went across the gardens and inside a building with lots of stairs. She left them at the entrance and followed the rest into the director's office.

"Mister Hyuga! How nice to see you" The director was a beautiful woman, long blond hair tied up in a bun and a…good body. She thought she was even prettier smiling.

"Back at you, Miss Tsunade" The head of the family sat down and made a hand move for the children to come inside.

"I see Neji isn't the only Hyuga we will have this year! Let's see…You must be Hinata?"

"Yes, pleased to meet you" they shook hands.

Hinata sat and blushed as Tsunade went through her grades from school.

"Wow, you really are an A student! I'm sure you won't have any problems with the school's assignments"

"O-of course, I will d-do the best I can" She smiled. That is what she said, but what she thought was it's not the grades I'm worrying about… She had seen some students when they entered. It was Sunday, but some of the students were wearing uniforms. It was very elegant: a black blouse with red tie and red short skirt for the girls. The boys wore a white shirt with a blue tie, and their trousers were dark blue. The only thing the uniforms really had in common were the school's emblem, a shield with a leaf on it. Hinata had noticed that all the students were elegant too, and she felt she didn't belong to that school; those weren't the kind of people she used to be with. All the girls were beautiful, and they knew it. They walked with their heads high, while the boys either stared at them or talked amongst them.

Everybody seemed to know each other, when they were on the way to Tsunade's office, they all seemed to either stare at her and whisper about her, or say hi to her cousin. He seemed to be very popular, most of the boys greeted him, and lots of girls stared at him with desire. Sure, he isn't ugly at all, she thought. He had long brown hair, almost as long as hers. But her blue hair didn't shine so much like his, and his was SO silky…when they were both kids and friends, she liked to play with it, it felt good.

He was also quite tall, a meter 80? Gosh, ten centimetres more than her... But that was kind of normal for a 16 year old girl, she thought. The only thing in common, were the characteristic Hyuga eyes, they both had their eyes a pale tone of blue, it almost seemed grey-ish turning to white, but if you looked close enough you could notice a hint of blue.

Neji turned his head, and caught her watching

"Hey, stop daydreaming!"

"O-oh! Sure, sorry…" She looked away, and then looked at him again, only for one second. Is he blushing? No…it can't be and she turned around toward the director.

"Ok, so I guess I just need to tell you the basic rules. Listen up: The campus has various buildings, as you've already seen. One of them had the dorms, and it's divided into two. West wing will be for the girls and East wing for boys. Teachers will have their dorms separated too, but in a special area in each wing. Of course, you can't be in the wing that's not yours, if not you will have a punishment. I trust you won't make any problems here; good grades can't do everything for you. Anyway, the rooms are for two people, so you will have a roomie. Leaving that subject, you mustn't be late to classes, and if you feel sick you must inform the nurse or a teacher. No drugs, no smoking and no drinking. And about the uniforms, you must wear them during classes and during the week. On Friday you finish class early, so you can change into normal clothes. Saturday you are allowed to go out to town until midnight and Sunday the school organises optional activities. Of course, you don't have to wear uniform during the weekend unless you want to…And I think that would be it, the rest you will learn with time."

Tsunade shook hands with everyone.

"Hinata, your room is number 302, here, the keys. Oh! And, here's your uniform"

"Thanks"

Hinata began to think this place wasn't going to be that bad after all.

Neji took his bags and turned towards her.

"Well, I think it's not necessary to say that I don't want to have nothing to do with you, you're a junior and I'm a senior, and I'm not interested in having you around"

"Oh, sure, ok…" she wanted to say something else, but she saw that two boys were running to Neji, so she grabbed her things and started walking to the dorm building.

"Yo, Neji! Man what took you so long? Did you have problems with the old lady before the year has started?"

"Yeah and…I thought I saw you came in with a girl? She looked cute from a distance..."

Hinata was far, but she could still hear it. She turned around slightly to see the two boys.

One had brown hair tied up in a sort of messy pony tail. The other one caught her attention. He was as tall as Neji, blonde, blue eyes…and he said she was cute…wow!

She felt her cheeks were burning, so she went back to walking. From the distance, she heard her cousin speaking.

"No, Shikamaru, I didn't have any problems, but I will do something this year too, you'll see hehe…and, Naruto… please don't repeat that again, and pay no attention to the new girl, she's a year younger than us anyway!...Well, where's Uchiha?"

Naruto answered "Oh, don't ya know? He got held back!"

"No! for real? Whoah! -"

"Yup, repeating junior year, so much fun"

Hinata wasn't interested in the conversation anymore.

Naruto…that's his name….oh it's a beautiful name… She began daydreaming, and suddenly she collided with someone and fell to the floor.

"Oh, I'm sorry! Are you ok – whoah! Nice!"

"huh?" she didn't understand. It took her a few seconds to realize she was on the floor, and her underwear was exposed, as she was wearing a short skirt and her legs were totally open. She turned red, as everyone around started laughing at her. Then she saw a hand reaching out for her. She took it, and stood up.

"Th-thanks…" she said, and then she looked up. She made a great effort to not open her mouth wide open. A boy had helped her. And oh, was he gorgeous! His hair was weird, spiky and grey, but he had big brown eyes, and an oh so sexy mouth, she watched as his lips moved to say "Are you all right?"

"eeeeh? ohh…emmm yes! Of course, thanks…ehehe…." Oh my God, I sound completely stupid!

The boy picked up one of her bags

"Hinata Hyuga? Are you somehow related to…no, it can't be" he mumbled to himself. You can't be related to Neji, with that body you must be one of the new teachers… he thought.

"E-excuse me?…"

"Right! Ok, so I'm sorry… here, your bag." He gave her the bag, and their hands touched for one second.

"See you later, Hinata" he winked at her and walked away.

"Bye"

She looked at him once more. He wasn't wearing the uniform; instead, he wore tight jeans and a simple white shirt. Wow…this school is full of attractive boys, and no one will look at me because compared to the other girls I am mediocre…but wouldn't it be nice, just for once?.. She told herself to stop daydreaming; she took all her things and entered the dorm building.
