They made me
Kawaii Kabu
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto, this fanfiction is purely down to a serious Hinata obssesion, procrastination and my own... speeding up(?) love life.
I didn't want to go on the date with Sasuke... but I caved in to the peer pressure of all my friends. How am I supposed to win the heart of Naruto with his 'ultimate rival' hanging all over me?
The day he approached me was... different. No, actually, it was a very normal day-for me that was anyway. I got up, proceeded with my daily routine and went to school. It wasn't until lunch that things really went weird.
Sakura had just confessed to him again. Him being Sasuke Uchiha-the boy who almost every girl in school was 'in love' with. I could totally see why, he had that mysterious image going for him- but he wasn't my type. He was scary looking for one, I'd rather have someone who's vocabulary outside of the classroom consisted of more than 'hn' and 'aa'.
"Sakura... listen, I'm only going to say this once ok. I will never date you, I will never kiss you, I will never find you remotely attractive and I will also never get drunk and sleep with you. It will never happen... ever." Ouch! Poor Sakura, yet another reason I don't like Sasuke. He's really mean. Shooting down someone like that in front of the whole year.
"Will you at least tell me why?" She demanded with tears in her eyes.
"I already like someone." The room froze, fan girls all across the room's ears all perked up. No doubt they were all hoping he'd say their name. Hoping that is, because Sasuke Uchiha had never 'liked' anyone.
"Who?" Sakura asked the question that was on everyone s mind. The girls in the class burst into questions. It was then he pointed to his left. I thought nothing of it; there were lots of girls on this side of the room. I think I was the only calm girl in the room to be honest.
"Her. Hinata Hyuuga."
I didn't remember anything else happening that day. The stares I got in those two minutes would stay with me for the rest of my life. I don't do well with attention; I'd rather not be in the spotlight. It was then that I decided to hate Sasuke Uchiha. How dare he put me out there in front of everyone like that? I could sense the glares of betrayal and anger from the girls in the room as well as the looks of disapproval from the boys. It was no secret that they all thought I was 'weird', even Naruto was giving Sasuke a questionable look. Every male-except Sasuke it appeared- would choose Sakura over me... Even the boy I have been silently following and supporting since year one of primary school. Why couldn't Sasuke just go out with Sakura?
"I-I-I h-hate you!" I meant to say, but it came out in a harsh squeak then I fainted.
The next day I woke up. I was in my own room, in my own pajamas. I sighed with relief, it must have been a dream- no, a nightmare. And so I continued on with my life as though nothing happened.
I was getting books out of my locker, when I had opened it, no one was beside me. When I closed it Sasuke was leaning on the locker next to me. I squeaked. He smirked.
"Since you fainted yesterday-"
"Y-yesterday was r-r-real?"
"Yeah, I know. Seemed like a dream for you right? Go out with me."
"N-no."
"Excuse me, it sounded like you just said no."
"I d-did."
"What?"
"D-did I stutt-tter?"
"Yeah... it's really really annoying though, so stop." Who does he think he is, ordering me around like that?
"I said no." And then I walked away, it was when he walked in behind me for double biology that I noticed I had every single class with him today. "Somebody kill me." I whispered to my desk.
"Half the school year would gladly oblige you know Hinata, you really oughtn t to say things like that- someone might take you seriously and I'll never see your cute blushing face again." Ino pouted. Ino! Voice of reason, she'd know what to do. "Oh, and everyone knows what happened by your locker earlier. Some fan girls must've been watching or something." She handed her homework into the teacher as they passed by and so did I. "They're pissed at you for rejected 'our Sasuke'." The teacher passed by Naruto, who had yet again not done the homework.
"B-but... I don't want to g-go out with him..."
"Well why not?"
"H-he's mean... a-and scary... a-and he's not my t-type."
"So Naruto's your type?" she stated slyly.
"Yes..." No! She trapped me into confessing again. I-I mean...n-no!"
"Hinata, come off it. Just accept Uchiha's feelings."
"N-no."
"I bet Naruto'll pay more attention to you if you're with Sasuke. I hear they tell each other /everything/." she teased.
"E-everything?"
"Mhmm. And Naruto'll find out how awesome you are through Sasuke." She sang.
"B-but, isn't that m-mean? Using Sasuke l-like that."
"It'd be better than what he did to Forehead over there." she nodded at her sullen looking pink haired friend. "Embarrassing her in front of the whole year like that. She's totally crushed. Hasn't said a word since."
"O-oh... should I go and talk to her?"
"You can't do that. I have something better in mind." It was then the teacher interrupted her.
"Yamanaka. Whatever you and Hinata are discussing I'm sure has something to do with Ecosystems so why don't you share it with the class?" Ino smiled. Normally I don't mind when she does that, but this was more like an evil grin. Oh no. She was going to do something bad for me.
"I'm just trying to get Hinata to understand that she simply cannot pass up the chance to go out on at least one date with Sasuke Uchiha, which she will be doing this Friday." She then turned to the back of the class where Naruto and Sasuke sat. "Pick her up and 9." She sat down. Evil Ino. Having successfully embarrassed me, the teacher continued teaching and I tried to copy down all the notes on the board. Head down, don't look at anyone. Especially not Sasuke. It was the most awkward biology period in my short seventeen years of life. I could feel him smirking, that evil Uchiha smirk. He doesn't even smile nicely!
"Ino- what did you just do?" I hissed at my blonde friend.
"Don't worry its payback. I'll fill you in at break. Let me copy your notes, and don't look at Naruto Kay?" Why shouldn't I look at Naruto? Was he sad that I was being forced on a date with Sasuke? So I turned to see if anything was wrong. It wasn't. But then I saw for myself the smirk that I imagined on Sasuke. It seemed to say 'I knew you couldn't resist.' to me. And Naruto? He looked happy. Why did he have to be happy? I didn't want to go out with Sasuke, only him.
"Hinata, I know that going on a date with Sasuke must be very exciting for you. But it is not Friday, and it is not 9pm either. Do your ogling at a time when I am not teaching- these lessons aren't for my own benefit but yours." The teacher ousted me again. Ooh why did they have to be so evil? The class snickered and Sasuke's grin only grew as I turned around blushing.
So it's been a while since I was on the Naruto scene. I'm not going to lie I'm amazed I even posted this fiction, normally I'd write them up to the penultimate chapter, bugger up the ending and then delete the whole thing. But I have recently read a most awesome fanfiction that makes me want to start again, and actually give a meaning to the hours of time I use writing fanfiction to avoid doing homework, coursework and a 4000 word essay that is due tomorrow.
Helpful feedback is really what I want. I've already written up to chapter 6 but I'd like to know how I could improve, like is Hinata's stuttering too 'a-a-a-a-anoying' like it is in some fiction I've seen on the site. Not slamming them, but seriously, help me improve. And please GOD tell me if my characters are OOC, I haven't watched Naruto in ages, and in the manga I'm not getting much of a glimpse of the characters I really planned on using all the way throughout. This is an English Sixth Form-based piece of fiction. I'm tired about trying to write for the masses of Americans that are on this site by using a culture I haven't experienced. Another reason that I'm not using the Japanese that often dusts most anime-fiction, I do understand basic Japanese, but once again- haven't experienced it, won't write it. You could say this is loosely based off of my own life, or at least the start of it is.
The faster you review, the faster I'll update.
