A/N: Hello :D so, this is my first fan fic I've ever written so please bear with me! And yes, its very cliché. I don't expect this to be the greatest thing in the world sooo yeah, reviews would be appreciated :D And, I haven't watched Naruto in the longest (literately) so im sorry if the characters seem OOC,because they probably will.

Disclaimer: I do NOT own Naruto or any of the characters.

Ah, time. Over time many things can change and it can change people, and of course this affected this blue-haired Hyuuga. Her short hair had now grown long, long enough to reach the middle of her back, she had physically changed and grown more confident. More importantly she didn't have a crush on Naruto anymore, she now had a new crush. Who? Well who else than the all famous Sasuke Uchiha. Although one thing didn't change (her shyness set aside) her best friend was still Gaara.

Hinata sat in her seat as she gazed over at Sasuke from a far. She felt as if she had now set her standards too high. When she had a crush on Naruto, he seemed more approachable and wasn't as cold as Sasuke,but Sasuke,he's impossible to approach when he's always sourrounded by a swarm of girls with every step he takes.

Not only that, but he's never even once glanced over at Hinata's direction. She truly believes that he had no knowledge of her existence. Everytime she had to nerves to try and walk towards Sasuke she would get bombarded by a swarm of girls, it was like a stampede, she could never get close to him. This was about to change, Hinata now had a new mind set, she would have to fight for his attention. This wouldn't be her usual thoughts but she was tired, tired of always being in the sidelines.

Now it was her turn. It could be he might not even care for her, but it never hurts to try. She felt confident about this. . .of course she would need some help. Who else but her best friend Gaara.

I'll definitely not give up!

The bell rang, this meant it was lunch time. Hinata caught up to Gaara to tell him all about her new plan.

"Gaara,wait up"

"Sorry,I didn't want to get trampled by Sasuke's fangirls"

"Oh,right…ah,I wanted to tell you something"

"What is it?" Gaara and Hinata set their lunches at the usual spot where they ate lunch, it was a field covered with cherry blossom trees, no one ate there because it was a farther walk than where other people ate their lunch.

"Well. . . I've decided Im-"

"Finally going to make a move on Sasuke?"

"I-uh,how did you know?"

"Hinata. . .you've been telling me the same plan for years,and haven't stuck to it"

"I-its because I was discouraged. . .b-but not anymore! Th-this time for sure"

Gaara sighed, he was all too familiar with this speech.

"And Gaara?"

"Hm?"

"Would you care to help me?" Hinata took a bite out of her food as she waited for Gaara's answer.

"No."

"Wh-why not? I need your help,you'll give me courage"

Gaara stared at his untouched lunch until finally he gave in.

"Fine. . .but Hinata. . you won't cry if he doesn't return those feelings, will you?"

"Of course not Gaara! Thank you so much. . . oh, we better leave or we'll be late for class."

Hinata and Gaara stood up and started walking to class, she had the brightest smile on her face, she would finally be able to do it, she would finally be able to get close to Sasuke and its all thanks to Gaara.

"Gaara, I don't know why you bring a lunch everyday if you never eat it. . . "

"Its for decoration."

Okayy,well that's about it for now, its short because I just want to get some feedback for now. So,I hope it was okay and for those who read it, thank you :D See you again soon! Hopefully. . .
