Ah! Right there! Maybe she'll consider joining... The third year female thought with a hopeful flush settling into her pale cheeks as she peered out from beneath her indigo fringe adorning her forehead. Her back straightened out of it's slight slouch and she allowed a small smile to creep up to meet her lips... Only to nearly melt into a puddle of mush when the female she'd been eyeing strode right past her booth.
Out of the hundreds of students that attended Konoha Academy, not one single person bothered to take the time to even glance in the direction of her booth. The petite female sitting behind the desk released a small sigh, and slowly lifted her head, her large opalescent shifting from one side of the busy hallway to the other longingly.
There were so many people... People who she had hoped would be interested in her club.
Hyuuga Hinata allowed her head to fall once more, this time in defeat. I should have known. She thought as she chewed at the insides of her cheeks. No one would be interested in my gardening club. I was foolish to believe that anyone would want to join...
"Yo! Hinata-chan!" A single voice stood out of the large mass of people inhabiting that particular hallway, causing the Hyuuga to break away from her deppressing inner musings and glance up and seek out who called her name.
There was a brief flash of pink behind a small crowd of boys lined up for the karate club. Hinata immediately recognized the owner of the flamboyant hair as her best friend Haruno Sakura, a smile stretching upon her lips as she raised a hand in greeting. "Sakura-chan!"
A wide grin spread across Sakura's face as she started towards the heiress in earnest, only to be pushed back by a wave of more males racing for the karate club line. Hinata couldn't help but cringe when she saw a guy shove past the pinkette, immediately recognizing the guy's mistake and Sakura's wrathful expression. The indigo haired female already allowed her hands to cover her ears, her eyes riveted towards the scene that was about to unfold before her.
Three...Two...One...
"WATCH WHERE YOU'RE GOING, YOU JACKASS! THIS IS A SCHOOL, NOT A CONCERT FOR ONE OF YOUR RETARDED GARAGE BANDS!" Sakura slammed her fist into the guy's back, a loud, audible crack reverberating throughout the halls as she sent him tumbling forward and causing a domino affect amongst the karate club hopefuls. After sending the male one more dirty glare, a pair of pretty jade green eyes lifted and clashed with wide lavender; the nasty scowl was immediately replaced with a pleasant smile. " Hey Hinata-chan~!"
Said female dropped her hands, her eyes dancing with amusement and the small smile returned not long after as the taller female strode up to her table. "Hello Sakura-chan. T-tough crowd, ne?"
Sakura snorted and rolled her eyes as she lowered herself onto the desk, pointedly ignoring any of the lingering stares and glares from the whole 'accident'. "Hardly. This isn't so different from a sale at Dior in Ginza. Only now, all the idiots are confined in a small hallway instead of an extravagant store."
"Aa." Hinata acknowledged with a slight wince. She'd been to the Ginza shopping district in Tokyo with Sakura once during a sale. Needless to say, what Sakura wanted, Sakura got, and not one would argue that.
"Well that's enough of those dumbasses. How are the sign-up's going?" The pinkette asked as her eyes dipped low to peek at the piece of paper that Hinata had taken to covering with the long sleeves of her lavender sweater.
The Hyuuga heiress' lips immediately clamped shut, avoiding her best friends inquiring gaze to the best of her ability.
"Come on, Hina-chan, it can't be that bad." Sakura prodded. "After all, you only need to have five people and a sensei to sponser in order for the club to be legit."
She felt herself slowly reddening as she bit at her lower lip nervously.
"I mean, come on, at least on person had to have signed up."
She began to fidget.
"...No one else signed up?" The pinkette took one look at Hinata's rapidly watering eyes before she leapt off of her perch on the table, snagging the paper, and glaring down at it. There was but one single name scrawled under the embolded "sign-up" label, and the owner of the name just happened to be sitting quietly behind the very desk advertising the gardening club. "What a bunch of morons! Can't they tell that this is an awesome club just by looking?"
"M-Maybe they are a-alergic to the p-pollen given off by flowers. I know t-that Hanabi-chan is..."
"Bullshit!" Sakura snarled, slapping the paper onto the table with a loud CLACK! "These fools don't know what they're missing!" She began digging into her purse with frightening vigour, only pulling her hand out when she had a firm grasp of her writing utensil. "I'll show them... This'll be the funnest club in the history of this school..." She grumbled to herself as she bent over the paper.
Hinata gasped, diving forward and catching her friend's right hand before she could put the ink on the paper. "I-Iie, Sakura-chan! W-what about the medical club that Tsunade-sensei has a-announced that she'd be sponsoring this year? Y-You've wanted to j-join that club since we were f-first years!"
Sakura paused before lifting her head, a wide grin on her face. "Yeah, I admit, I've wanted to join the MC for as long as I've heard of it... But you know what?" She gently pulled her hand away from the heiress and put it to the paper once more. "That is something that I can live without. After all, I am going to major in medicine when we go to university. I can practice it there. The MC was just a bonus. Besides," with a few strokes of her pen, she wrote her name in large lettering, almost encompassing two name slots, "what are friends for?"
Hinata felt her gut clench and she tried her hardest to keep her tears from falling, though she did allow her mouth to tremble. "S-S-Sakura-chan..." She reached out and was immediately pulled into a warm embrace by her one and only best friend.
"Heh. It's no big deal, Hina-chan." Sakura patted her back a couple of times before pulling away, her eyes shining with determination. "Now, what do you say that we go out there and get some of these poor schmucks to join our amazing club?"
Hinata couldn't help but shiver at the dark look in her friend's eyes. She couldn't help but have a feeling that this whole gardening club wouldn't end up as she imagined...
