'Riiiingg!'

The school bell rings indicating the last period of the day is starting. Shikamaru sighed as Ebisu sensei questioned him again. It looks like he is getting in the favorites' lists of many lecturers now, most of them are asking him how he gets perfect scores in all the subjects, he simply answers that he was paying attention to them in classes, then they immediately swell in pride hearing to his response. But, in the middle school he was just like an average student, he gets the same score as Chouji, and Kiba, while Naruto was always the dead last. After him, is his best bud Uchiha Sasuke the second and the third is Haruno Sakura.

He stood up and answered, "the largest roundworm is Ascaris lumbricoides, it causes diarrhea, massive water loss, weight reduction, bowel obstruction and even death..".

Ebisu smiled with satisfaction and said, "good! As expected from the Nara, now to the next question, which parasitic helminth causes River blindness disease?"

The whole class was enveloped in silence, the lecturer scanned through his sunglasses over the whole class to call for his next bait. Ah! Target affixed! He saw a blond scratching his head, the one he isn't really fond of, the lazy and the dead last in the class!

"Uzumaki Naruto! Answer!" Ebisu yelled.

The whole class turned to him while he stood up from his seat holding his chin, he gaped his mouth.

"uhhh…" he said, everyone in the class waited for the blonde to answer.

He felt Sasuke nudging to his thigh while he was struggling to get the answer, he shot a glare down at the Uchiha and yelled, "what is it teme?! I'm trying to figure out the answer right now!".

"idiot.." Sasuke muttered hiding the answer.

All of the girl in the class gasped and looked admiringly at the Uchiha while he grumbled looking away from the blonde thinking, 'you dumb ass.. I was just helping you! Stand there forever then Idiot!'.

He looked away as he cold sweated, as his sharp coal black eyes roamed around, it widened a fraction when he saw a pale lavender eyed Hyuuga sitting beside the window, watching him from afar. Narrowing his eyes, he looked at her keenly studying her eyes, the Uchiha immediately knew who she was actually watching. Even if he felt a little disturbed by the fact that she was looking at Naruto and not him, Sasuke denied the feeling. He wore an indifferent face sighing softly he leaned his back against his chair, just like the others waiting for the dumb ass to answer the lecturer's question.

"uhh.. sensei is it Ondoriko-optimus?" Naruto finally asked.

Ebisu's eyebrow's twitched as he said, "wrong answer! Stand on your chair..".

Naruto whined and said, "geezz A-B-C sensei for god's sake Im not a middle-schooler..".

Ebisu said, "yes you're age is not, but you're bird brain is.. now stop whining and stand on the chair..".

The class roared in laughter while the blond muttered some curses under his breath. The Uchiha beside him smirked mouthing to the blond, 'serves you right baka.'.

Out of curiosity Sasuke side glanced again to see the Hyuuga girl's saddened expression, he scowled thinking to himself, 'did she really think he would possibly answer the question correctly?' he smirked.

That Hyuuga girl is the most quite person in the whole class, and also the most meek, introverted, reserved type among the girls of his class that never speaks to him or any guys apart from Neji her elder brother, Kiba, Gaara, Naruto and Shikamaru. Not to forget, she is quite the looker, but is too innocent. She is the number four student in the class after the Haruno. And Sasuke is starting to suspect that the girl is hiding something.

Ebisu called, "Okay, who's next.. Hyuuga Hinata.. please answer the last question."

Sasuke stared at the girl while most of the class didn't bother to look at her, she stood up from her seat slowly and answered while down casting her eyes with her soft voice, "Oncochercha valvulus, sensei.."

Ebisu smiled and said, "Good! Now to the next question… ".

After revising the question booklet for the exams next week, the lecturer ended his class. Soon all of them would be sitting for the final examination, since this will be their last revision class none of them wanted to miss it, not even Naruto. Well for one thing, he loves to attend to school just to annoy his crush, Haruno Sakura, while she avoids him like a plague and attaches herself to Sasuke like a magnet. Naruto and Sasuke were childhood best buds along Gaara, Shikamaru and Suigetsu. But Suigetsu went abroad when they were 9 years old with his brother Juugo. The Nara, Uchiha, Uzumaki, Haruno, Sabaku, Hyuuga, Yamanaka, Aburame, Inuzuka, and Akimichi all of them were studying the same school from middle school, and now are going to graduate together at the prestigious Tachibana High.

Despite being the class clown, the trouble maker and the dead last, Naruto enrolled in the top class of the grade because he is quite exceptional in Physics- Kakashi sensei's class, and he always scores above distinction for Arithmetic- Jiraiya sensei's class, Geography- Anko sensei's class, and scores the top in Biology- Iruka sensei's class. He always does poorly Parasitology much to Ebisu sensei's dismay, never fails to get below 10 in the whole class.

However he couldn't beat Shikamaru or Sasuke's marks in total. He takes a hobby of bugging Sasuke, Shikamaru and Haruno Sakura the class representative, they would always fight and quarrel even from middle school itself. The only female who seems to like him in the whole class is the Hyuuga. While most of the girls in the whole school run after Sasuke, she doesn't even turns his way. Not to say that it hurt his pride, but, it does disturbs him a little.


-at the library-

'oh Kami.. I hope it is here..' she thought.

Hinata was searching for her diary since that morning. She had forgotten her diary in the library; she tried to find it here while the recess time, but it wasn't found. She couldn't focus on anything until she finds the diary. The Hyuuga had a little bad habit, she treasures her little diary but often forgets where she places it. Nobody knows what exactly that she writes in it, but she loves to carry it everywhere she goes. It was the only gift she had from her mother. She tossed and turned many heavy books, she looked under the table, above the shelves, it was nowhere to be found! Oh gosh.. she wrote so many personal things inside it, if anyone finds it, she gone for good! The Hyuuga searched more over the shelves never giving up hope. She turned the scattered books on the shelves, biting her lower lips.

"eh hem!" someone coughed behind her.

She turned to see the person at her back, "oh! G-Gaara-kun! I'm s-sorry.. was I b-blocking?".

Gaara shook his head and said quietly, "no.. here. I came here to look for you, is this yours?".

Gaara handed the violet book to the Hyuuga, she widened her eyes and smiled when she saw the book. She looked at the Sabaku and said, "oh g-goodness.. y-yes its mine, w-where d-did you f-find it?".

Gaara looked away and said, "uhh.. someone just gave it to me.. he said it might be yours and asked me to give it to you.."

The girl nodded contemplating what her friend said, she smiled warmly and thanked, "I'm thankful to the person who gave it you, and thank you for giving it to me Gaara-kun.. it is very kind of you..".

Gaara blinked at her for a moment, did he just heard it right or is that she didn't stutter? He shrugged and said, "no problem.. Hinata-san.. you're not getting home?".

The Hyuuga shook her head and said, "u-um a-ano.. I wanted t-to st-study, I informed m-my b-brother a-ab-about it Gaara-kun..".

Gaara smirked and said, "okay.. good luck for next week's exam Hinata-san.. See you.."

"ah! G-Gaara-kun.." the girl gasped and blushed at what the red haired guy did.

He ruffled her hair before going, making the Hyuuga blush and pout childishly while he walked out of the library with a smirk, he loves teasing the girl. It made him feel nice to see her actually let loose for a while. Apart from that, he actually likes her among all of the females in the whole school, but too bad for him the girl already likes someone else. She's too cute and adorable for her age, pure and innocent, always wise, calm, gentle and the way she blushes is always a sight to watch. Gaara walked to the gates and entered in the car, now, it seems like he might as well get an unexpected rival.

"You gave her the book?" he asked.

Gaara nodded as he fastened the seat belt, the turquoise eyed boy asked the one beside him teasingly, "didn't you wanna know what did she say?".

"Who said what?" Naruto asked from the back seat.

"tch.. Naruto sit quietly for a while, I have to speak to my mom! Tch.. troublesome.." Shikamaru muttered.

Sasuke pulled the gear and side glanced over at the Sabaku and smirked, "hn.. what do I care?".

"you mean you don't? I just don't get it.. why would the Uchiha Sasuke would be so kind enough to return a lost diary to the owner who is a girl since he hates girls, does that mean he doesn't care?" Gaara pried with a cocky tone.

Sasuke scowled and said, "tch.. I just did okay.. stop bugging me about it..".

Gaara smirked and asked the guys at the back, "okay Naruto, where are we going for lunch?".

"Ichiraku of coarse!" Naruto yelled.

"I should've known better.." Gaara grumbled.

While Sasuke smirked and said, "yeah.. you should have, since it is his treat..".

"AW MAN!" Shikamaru grumbled.


-the last day of the finals exam-

'Again… Oh god! Why am I such a dummy!' Hinata thought as she searched her bag.

This time her diary was gone with and an important document inside it. Her ENTRANCE SLIP! The exam was in the next two hours, this one was scheduled on the evening, so she spent her day in the library revising everything regarding chemistry. Now that her book and entrance slip is gone, how is she supposed to write the paper? She felt like fainting from horror, if she does, she wouldn't remember a thing! Oh no, no, no no.. fainting wont do. She must get back that slip, and fast! She scrambled through her bag and the books on her table, it wasn't there, it wasn't on the table, not under the chair, never on top of shelf, not near the counter, not in her bag! It is GONE! She squatted down to her feet in fear, she lost it! Why.. why would this happen to her now?

'oh great lord.. save me.. someone please.. oh no! oh no! oh no! oh no! oh no! oh no! oh no! oh no!' she chanted in her thoughts as she covered her face under her palms.

'PAT'

Did something just hit on her head? She looked up and saw someone with a familiar face holding up a very familiar violet colored book in his hands. She widened her white eyes at him, and she blinked. He looked down at her with disgust, clearly written on that pretty face of his, there was a tint of pink blush on his cheek which was so out of place. Yuck.. it didn't suit him, nope.. not at all.

He glared down at her with much hatred and said, "hey Hyuuga.. you lost your crappy book again..".

'Again? How did he know that.. probably, was he the one? .. no, no, that's impossible, way too impossible..' she thought as she stared at him.

He glared at her again, "you shameless Hyuuga get up!" he hit her head with the book again.

She snapped rising to her feet a good 4 inches shorter than his height, she growled at him, "St-stop hi-hitting me!".

She gasped and covered her mouth with her hand while the boy stared at her as if she grew a horn on her head.

Then she mumbled rubbing her head a small blush crossed her cheeks, "s-sorry.. I ..I d-didn't mean t-to yell.. I w-was a-afraid that I m-might f-forget..".

He stared at with his onyx orbs, 'yelled? that wasn't even close to speaking.. you barely whispered..', his face returned to the evergreen scowl it always held and he gave her the entrance slip from her diary.

"here." He offered, she brightened at the mere view of the little slip and smiled at him warmly for the first time in his life.

She bowed and said, "t-thank y-you.. Uchiha-san..".

Sasuke just scoffed and said, "tch.. whatever.. I'm keeping your diary, cuz you don't learn your lesson..".

Hinata widened her eyes, and stuttered, "b-but I.. p-please.. c-can y-you r-return i-it to m-me?".

A smirk slowly formed on his lips, as he said, "nope. Not only you made me return the book twice, but, now, you made me get the trouble to bring it back to you.. I, Uchiha Sasuke never talk to girls.. girls talk to me.".

'you cold hearted, spoiled jerk..' she thought, while she stared at him.

What? Did he just sensed anger? Oh ho.. this is getting too interesting, wicked.. He smirked slyly and said before turning away, "and by the way.." he trailed.

The Uchiha leaned to her ears slightly and whispered while she scooted away from him, "I just saw your yellow panties.. it was so gross that my eyes can't take it.. so don't ever squat down like that wearing a skirt, horny Hyuuga..".

She quickly hid her hips, crossing her hand onto the skirt, squirming and tugging her skirt down. Sasuke took in the sight of her fully flushed red face, and the cute pout that formed on her beautiful face due to his teasing. She blinked and glared at him, he was taken aback by her, can she the Hyuuga Hinata glare like that? He looked over his shoulder; he smirked and winked at her before walking out to the exam hall. Hinata quickly grabbed her books and bags this time not forgetting her entrance slip she walked swiftly minding to walk a good distance away from that perverted Uchiha.

Sasuke smirked as he reached to Shikamaru and Naruto, they saw the way he was smirking amusingly looking at the Hyuuga who was storming her way, getting as far as possible from the Uchiha. Sasuke stifled his chuckle when she bumped onto Kakashi and bowed quickly apologizing for her mistake. With a fully formed smile he turned to look at his notes then he caught 5 pairs of eyes staring at him widely. He scowled and cocked an eyebrow at Shikamaru, Naruto, Gaara, Sakura and Ino.

"what?" he asked and walked away with a scowl on his face scanning the pages of his notes for one last time.

"hey.. did you see what I just saw?" Naruto whispered to Shika.

Shika nodded and said, "yeah I did.. and for the first time.. it wasn't troublesome..".

Naruto cocked an eyebrow at Shika and pouted his lips he thought to himself, 'just what happened to Sasuke un?'.

"Did he just smiled?" Ino asked her pink haired friend.

Sakura nodded her head and said breathily, "yeah.. he did.. but did you see who was he smiling at?".

Not hearing to Sakura's question Ino squeaked "Sasuke-kun was so gorgeous!" while Sakura cold sweated.

Naruto tip toed to where Sasuke was sitting and poked the boy on his shoulder, Sasuke shot a glare at the Uzumaki and sighed reading back his notes.

"what is it dope?" he asked.

Naruto smelled Sasuke and frowned in conclusion, "who are you? Are you really Sasuke?".

Sasuke cocked an eyebrow and hit the blond his head while Gaara and the others laughed.

"the hell! Guys! He is Uchiha Sasuke, no worries!" Naruto yelled at his friends and earning yet another whack from the Uchiha.

"cut that out, exams are going on right here.." Sasuke said shutting the blond up.

Gaara knew what Sasuke was doing with the Hyuuga girl at the library; he wasn't surprised to see the cold Uchiha to speak to her, but was perplexed to see it happen so fast. He and the Uchiha had shared the same proximity of liking the same things, no matter what it was. Now that the Sabaku knows that the rival he thought might appear is now already heading to woo the Hyuuga heiress, he wont delay any longer. But, he wants to wait and see what happens between Sasuke and Hinata. Her reaction towards his advances on her clearly shows that she hates him, but who knows, that might change, but the feelings she hold for the Uzumaki never did. He hopes for any possibility for that to happen.

After the exam ended, Hinata was relieved that she never forgotten any single compound or any covalent bond or single bond, any chemicals their properties, equations, metal and non metals, she perfectly memorized and revised them by the time. She was able to do well in this final exam, since she worked hard. She was fully satisfied, with the exam paper, the question and her answers, what she wasn't happy about was the placement. First, she didn't get to sit at the sides so no window seat, she couldn't see Naruto from where she was sitting and finally, that pervert was placed right next to her. But, that didn't bother her at all, he was minding his own business to her relief, that is why she was able to finish the paper early, but she couldn't deny the fact that she felt this strong eyes watching her, she dismissed the thought that it might be one of the invigilators. She raised her hand signaling that she was done, she flipped her answer booklet over and grabbed her pens and slip. She walked out of the room while Kakashi took her paper.

Outside the hall, still bearing what Sasuke said in the library in her mind, she didn't dare to squat down but she bent down to get her back and quickly walked away.

"what an unbearable sight.." she heard someone's grumble from her back.

"ah don't look at me! Looking at your face is giving me a worst eyesore than it did when I saw your panties again! Good grief!" Sasuke teased pretending to be having an eye disorder.

She turned away flipping her head around, some strands of her indigo blue hair brushed Sasuke gently he smirked when he heard her say softly, "u.. G-Gomen..".

"hn.. that's more like it.." he said staring at her back.

"c-could g-give m-me my diary b-back?" she stuttered.

Sasuke simply walked passed her saying 1 word, "No.".

Never ever in her life the heiress was angered by anyone, as much as this person did to her, today of all days. He made her happy, angry, embarrassed, irritated all in just few minutes from talking to him, good she never talked to him before, now, she wont have anything to regret in her whole life except for this day. It was a faithful day that she will never forget in her whole life, and Uchiha Sasuke, she wouldn't bother to remember him.

While the Hyuuga was promising to herself not to see Sasuke in her entire life, the Uchiha was reading the precious diary of the Hyuuga heiress and find out about her secrets, desires, and oh! She wrote in this all about Naruto! Geez, he didn't know what does she sees in the dim-witted air head, but to his surprise he bothered to read them all, he understood it, more and more not about the blond, but how this girl views a person. By the midnight, he finished reading her book, upon finishing it, he concluded that, Hyuuga Hinata may seem innocent, but she is actually sharp and intellectual. The more he got to know her, the more he is actually feeling something weird.

'Well, whatever Hyuuga, I'm gonna make your life a living hell, with this single book' he smirked at his own thought, he hid the book safely and went to sleep, tomorrow he has a very big day ahead of him as an apprentice to his brother Itachi.
