I bit my lip and smiled kindly as a boy I liked approached. "Uh, hey." He smiled a little back.

"Hey," I said, nodding towards him.

"I don't know if you've noticed, but I sort of like you. You want to give me a chance?" he asked nervously. I nodded.

"Sure!" I smiled wider.

"Okay, so I can pick you up tomorrow and we can catch a movie," he said. My eyes darkened a little.

"Uh, well you see, I work at the theater and I don't really like going. But do you think we could do something else?" I asked him. He looked away.

"Um, I don't know. I'll have to get back to you on that, okay? Uh, must go. Bye!" he said and dashed off. I sighed and leaned against the school wall outside of the building.

"Looks like I blew that one. I guess I'll just stay single forever," I said.

"I'm sorry, Hikari-san," one of my friends, Chikaru, said.

"Yeah, cheer up. He didn't know what the hell he was talking about!" my other friend said, Misaki. "And you'll find a real man one day. All these guys are pussies." We blinked at her, and then busted out laughing.

We all left on the bus as soon as possible.

*Kiba's point of view*

I watched the unusual girl from across the street at my school. It was hard not to stare. The way that guy turned her down after he asked her out made him seem like a big baka. "Kiba-kun? Are you getting on the bus?" came Hinata's soft voice. I turned towards her and nodded. I walked over by her and the sand siblings. We rode the same bus because our houses were on the route of it. Good old Bus 13.

*Hikari's point of view*

"So we're managers now, and we're hiring a whole new shift?" I asked. My boss, Shizune, nodded.

"So I go from Register 1 to manager? Cool!" Misaki yelled. Chikaru shifted in her seat.

"Will it be a hard job?" she whispered.

"No, remember when I was a sub-man? It was easy," I said to cheer her up. She looked at me and nodded. "And you'll get paid more!" I smiled at her.

"Hell yeah!" Misaki yelled. "I really need that." I nodded.

"So here are the people that we think might be good for the job. You pick out 12 of them and then tell us," Mezu, Shizune's assistant, said. We nodded as they left and started picking out 12.

"I say this guy," Misaki said, smirking and eyeing the picture. I looked over her shoulder and rolled my eyes. It was a young boy with his shirt off, licking the camera and smirking. "He's my type of guy." I sighed and sat back down onto my seat.

I picked up a picture of a little girl. She was 16, needing her first job. I smiled. She seemed pretty cute, really nice. I put her in the pile of hires. Hyuuga Hinata.
