I stared at my plate filled with something that looked a lot like cat sick. "Mum," I started, my mouth gaping at her, "I can not eat this. It's… ugh." I shuddered as she gave me a 'look'. "Eat it!" she hissed angrily. I sighed and held up the plate. "Mum, it looks like vomit," I said matter-of-factly. She gave me a really bad 'look' but I ignored it. Instead, I walked over to the kitchen sink and washed the full plate. "You!" My mother gasped, pointing at me with her index finger. I frowned and turned to her. "I'm gonna do my homework." I said staring down at the floor as I went.
As I closed my door, I slunk onto the floor. The truth was, I finished my homework so I could have time off. I felt I deserved it. Just at that second, my cell phone rang. I answered it, "Yo," ever so casually. "Hinata? This is Ino." The caller, my friend Ino, said. "Yes, it's me." I replied. "I'm at the school, can you come now? It's urgent." She asked. My eyes widened automatically. "Uh… sure, I'll be there soon." So I changed into my school uniform, and got out of the house. The people I lived with weren't my parents. Well, they were, it was just, they adopted me.
I found my real parents though. It seems they're super stinking rich people. They're the head of a giant company and own a huge sum of money. I'm the heiress to that money and company. But I don't want to be. No. Why me, anyway? I scowled at the thought as I took one step towards school and away from my house. I really just wanted to be a normal high schooler, but no! I thought as I increased my speed. Everything had to go away from my plan. I stood abruptly and punched the air hard, for no particular reason. "I hate this!" I yelled out to the sky, knowing no one or nothing would answer. "Oh, you do, do you?" Someone replied smoothly.
I turned my head and scowled again. It was my sister school's 'Prince Charming Number Two'. My sister school had five 'Prince Charmings' all together and everyone loved them. I scoffed and held my head up high. "Hi Kiba. What are you doing here?" I replied, even smoother. The brown haired guy was at least a head taller than me, and was my 'real' parents' best friends' son. I shook my head to myself and muttered. "This cannot be happening. This cannot be happening!" He walked up to me, hands in the pockets of what looked like a very expensive jacket.
He inhaled and answered, "I dunno. What're you doing? Going to school? At this hour?" He added, about a metre a way from me. I muttered something darkly under my breath and stared at the ground. Finally, I looked up at his face, with a determined look on my face. "It's none of your damn business, okay? Now, just go away!" I cried out angrily. He shrugged and faced my school, which was only about 500 metres away from where the two of us were standing. "Okay. Okay. I'll just drive you there, okay?" He said, smiling slightly. "No thanks," I said as I set off for the 5 minute run.
Kiba scoffed and got into his car which had pulled up soon after I left. "Follow her." He mumbled pretty loudly. I gritted my teeth when I heard him. "That idiot!" I screamed to myself. I seriously hated him, Kiba. He wasn't as rich as my 'real' parents were, but he was still pretty rich. The five 'Prince Charmings' are as follows from most popular to least –though they all are really popular-: Uchiha Sasuke, Inuzuka Kiba, Uzumaki Naruto, Gaara and Nara Shikamaru. I really hate those five. Naruto and Shikamaru aren't that bad, but the other three are.
First off: Uchiha Sasuke. Number one because he is. He's really rich and is a total playboy. Has nice raven-black hair and wears mostly western clothes.
Second: Inuzuka Kiba. A stupid head that gets whatever he wants whenever he wants it –he's an only child-. I really want to punch some sense into him!
Number three: Uzumaki Naruto. I think he is okay though he's a bit stuck-up. Fairly rich, and has two older brothers. Has blonde hair and blue eyes. Quite handsome; rumours say he's going out with Haruno Sakura.
Fourth is Gaara. Another playboy but isn't a rich bragger. Good for him; he is Uchiha's disciple in every way but is only a bit different. Has red hair and his eyes are outlined in black. Kind of a weirdo. He loves new girls for some reason.
Last is Nara Shikamaru. Super smart and likes to keep to himself. Has brown hair which he usually keeps in an upright ponytail. A normal guy. Joined 'Prince Charming' three years ago, which was a year before I started high school.
All of them except Shikamaru don't wear school uniform. I really like my school. I attend an all girls' school, and 'Prince Charming' attend my sister school, an all boys' school. School here is great, except the appearance and reappearance of the 'Stupid Five'. I gave them that name; only I use it. "Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!" I screamed out unable to control my anger. I ran towards the school and saw my blonde haired friend. "Ino, I'm sorry I'm so late. I was kept up by one of the 'Stupid Five'." I collapsed onto the ground into a kneeling pose. Apparently she didn't hear so I tapped her on her right knee.
"Hey! Ino! Wake up!" I waved my hand up at her and her turned her attention onto me. "Ah! You made it!" She squealed happily. "Of course I did!" I muttered, panting hard. "Well, come on! Get in!" A bad thing about Ino was that she was a great pick-locker. "Eh? You picked the lock?" I asked in shock, still panting. She shook her head and said she had gotten the key from the key cupboard and was waving it in my face. I sighed and looked up at her. "That's just as bad," I retorted. "But there's something I have to do! It's very important, so… And I needed someone to go with me!" She pleaded.
I took a deep breath and stood up, dusting myself of the dirt that got onto me. "So, what do you need to do, Yamanaka-san?" A voice asked. She looked at me, or so I thought, but then I noticed she was looking past my head and behind me. "Na- Na - Na --!" "Na?" I said confused, so I turned around. "Na - Na - Nara-san!" I breathed out staring at him. "What do you want, Shikamaru of 'Pr—Stupid Five'?" I asked him superiorly. " 'Stupid Five', huh?" he said to himself. He looked at me and said. "I'm here for Yamanaka-san," "Ino?" I asked, turning back to her.
"I," she started, looking down at her feet. "I have been going with Shikamaru -kun." "Wow, that's a surprise," I said nonchalantly. Ino stared at me then fell onto the ground. "You knew? You knew, then?" she asked, tears falling down her face. "Yeah, well…" I stopped and decided to say the truth. "No, I didn't. It just, didn't faze me that you'd be with Shikamaru -san." I answered. "It didn't.. faze.. you?" she said, eyes wide. I shook my head in answer to that statement and walked up to Shikamaru. "What?" he asked, eyeing me with interest. "Take good care of Ino, okay?" I said, smiling.
He looked at me then smiled. "Sure." Then I slapped him on his left cheek. "What was that for?" He asked angrily. "That's for Ino, if you ever do something she doesn't want you to do." I knew there really was no point in saying that, knowing what type of person Shikamaru was, but all boys do things… right?
As I was walking home on the footpath, I heard a car honk at me. "Hey!" I yelled at them. "I'm not even on the road so what's your problem?" The car started, came straight for me and I screamed my head off. It parked right in front of me, blocking my way and half of the road. "Oi! Be considerate of pedestrians and other drivers, you scum--!"
Before I could finish my sentence, Kiba stepped out of the car. " 'Stupid Five' ?" he said as soon as I had my full attention on him. " 'Stupid Five' ?" He repeated absentmindedly. "Un! You and your 'Prince Charming' friends are 'Stupid Five'!" He glared at me and I glared at him back.
"If you wouldn't mind, please get out of my way." I ordered him. He slammed the car door, got out of its way and told the driver to move the car. After his chauffeur did that, I walked briskly home. Kiba followed me all the way. As I stood in front of the front door of my house, I could feel his eyes on my back.
"What do you want?" I asked, turning around to face him. "I freaking, hate you! And your stinkin' friends!" His eye twitched as I said these things. "Bye!" I cried as I stepped in and slammed the door closed behind me. When I turned, my parents and younger sister were looking at me.
"What?" I exclaimed, tired. "I'm going to sleep!" they stared after me as I ran into my room. "I think there's something wrong." I heard my father say. "Mm… It's an episode out of 'Stuck in the Middle!" My imouto, Hanabi, said. " 'Stuck in the Middle'?" I said to myself.
I watched the whole series one and two and was eagerly awaiting series three. Hanabi had been watching it with me since day and episode one. I nodded my head slowly as I remembered what 'Stuck in the Middle' was about. It was about a girl like me, only she had a younger brother as well, and was living life like me.
She wasn't orphaned though and went to a co Ed school. I loved to watch it ever since episode one. The last episode in series two left such a cliff-hanger. The main character, Midori, was in France and was chasing after her lover, Kenta. It finished as she caught him.
I screamed in frustration. "Stupid cliff-hangers!" and lay down onto my bed. Midori, really looked like me. She had nice long blue hair that grew up to her waist. She had a nice body and was a nice person. I really like her, too, because she gives others a piece of her mind whenever the times right.
I guess... she's my model. I smiled and hugged my toy cat which I call 'Neko-chan'. I looked up at the ceiling, my mind blank. "Neko-chan, help me to become more like Midori-sama! Help me in my studies and give me the courage to do things my way!" I climbed under the blanket without changing into my pyjamas and soon fell asleep.
When I awoke it was 10:37 pm. I yawned and stretched my body. I shivered when I realised that half of the blanket was on the ground. I groaned and frowned, then hastened to get the entire blanket onto the bed.
In 'Stuck in the Middle', Midori-sama couldn't choose between four guys. They were all stinking rich and were friends until she came into the picture. After they all started to fall for her, they became rivals, fighting over one girl. I swallowed the saliva in my mouth and silently promised myself that would never happen to me.
Never. Never. Never, ever ever.
Ring! Ring! Ring! Ring! Ring! I opened my eyes slowly and stared at the clock. It was 4:18 am. Four AM?! I thought. I counted the hours I had slept in my head. I probably went to sleep at 9 pm. I sighed and picked up the phone that was right next to my face.
"Moshi moshi." I answered tiredly. On the other end I could hear a sobbing Ino. "Ino, ka? What's wrong?" I asked concerned for friend. "Shi-Shi-Shikama-Shikamaru-kun!" she managed to squeeze out between sobs. "Eh?! What about Nara-san?" I asked. "He… he dumped…." She continued before she sneezed loudly.
I dropped the phone and quickly picked it up. "Don't worry, I'll be over soon." So I quickly changed out of my school uniform and into a sweater and jeans. As soon as I got over to her house, she calmed down. "That bastard," I muttered under my breath. Then I recounted what had happened last night.
Could it have been because… "Ne, Ino-chan." I started, moving towards her. "She looked at me with her poofy red eyes and nodded her head. "Well, did he say anything about me? Or the future?" I asked. She looked at me then thought. She started to shake her head then nodded vigorously. "What did he say?" I asked.
" 'I… really want to become a lawyer. Tell your friend that, okay?' " Ino repeated to me. "Lawyer," I muttered to myself. "What the heck is that?!" Ino shrugged her shoulders and blew her nose. I sat down on her bedroom floor and searched my head and memories.
Did anything he do have to do with arguing? Iie… he rarely argued. Wait, no, he NEVER argued. Wait, no! He should've argued at least once. "I'm going over to his house." I said standing up. "I'll be back soon, ne?" I looked down at the sitting figure of Ino. "Un, I'll wait or do something." She replied and smiled.
"Un. Ja," I replied. "Hinata, matte!" Ino called out to me as I ran down her stairs towards the giant front doors. Ino Yamanaka was a rich girl. The majority of the girls attending my school were. I was a 'poor' person, but I was really rich so I couldn't exactly be poor.
"What?" I asked jogging on the spot. "Take my chauffeur! It'll be faster and he knows where Shika-kun's house is." "Really? Yoshi, I'll take your car." I replied skipping towards her waiting chauffeur. "Nara-sama's house then?" he asked politely. "Un. Please."
"Good job," Kiba whispered to Ino. "You say this'll help Hinata, but I don't think so." Ino whispered back. Kiba laughed and put his hands into his pockets. "Yeah right. This'll help her a lot. Really," he replied. Ino sighed and silently prayed for Hinata. Be safe, she thought. Be careful of 'Stupid Five'.
Ino's chauffeur pulled up in front of a large house. "I thought he was 'poor', or at least normal. Those girls lie! I shouldn't trust Sakura-san." I muttered angrily to myself. "Arigato for the ride," I said nodding my head to the chauffeur. He nodded back and drove off as soon as I closed the car door.
Standing at the window to the right of the front doors was a red head. I shrieked in my mind and backed away slowly. "G-G-Gaara!" I exclaimed. He moved away from the window and the front doors were opened by two butler-like men. "Gaara-kun." I muttered. "Get inside," he ordered me as soon as he was close enough for me to hear him.
"Nande? Why do I have to go in?" I retorted fiercely. He grabbed my wrist and replied. "Don't question me!" "Fine!" I replied as I yanked my hand out of his grip. "I'll go in with my own strength, thanks!" I said almost losing it. His eye twitched and he strode in first, without further ado.
"Stupid bastard," I muttered under my breath. He smirked and walked into a different room. He came back with His mates: Sasuke and Naruto. Sasuke was examining me while Naruto's head was in a book. "What is it?" I finally asked after a moment's silence, I couldn't bear the silence.
"We want you to stay away from Shikamaru," Gaara answered and whistled. I turned my head to the other room and Shikamaru walked into view. I gasped when I saw him. He was in a bloody mess. He was literally in a bloody mess. "What happened?" I asked him, breathing hard.
I think Naruto noticed my uneasiness, because he suddenly said, "Ne, mina. Let's stop this," from behind his book. My eyes widened at his sentence. "Oh, come on! Why? We've only just started," Gaara complained. "And she's a pretty girl, ne, Sasuke-kun?" Sasuke stared at me a bit more than walked back the way he came.
Shikamaru walked up to me while the other two followed to their 'leader'. "Shikamaru! Are you okay?" I asked, really concerned about him. He scoffed and smiled at me. "Of course, You think these cuts and bruises would hurt me?" I opened my mouth to speak but shut it.
"I… I'm such a baka, huh?" I said, the bottom of my eyes getting wet since water was welling up in them.
"Oi! Oi!" Shikamaru said, hugging me.
"Don't cry," he scoffed.
"I don't look that shity, do I?" he then added, grinning.
I moved out of his arms and smiled, rubbing my eyes with my clenched fist.
"Ne, BAKAS!" I yelled out to Sasuke, Naruto and Gaara.
They came back rather slowly. My clenched fists beside me were hurting since I was getting really angry.
"Come closer! I dare ya!" I dared them.
Sasuke stopped the other two and stood up. He walked towards me and said, "What the heck do you want, bitch?"
I scoffed and looked away from him. Then suddenly I slapped his left cheek. "You really piss me off, ya know? Don't bash up your friends too! Guys who do that are just shitheads!" Sasuke stared at me, dumbstruck. Naruto's mouth was hanging, I could see, since his book fell out of his grip.
Gaara and Shikamaru were in disbelief. "You…" I looked down at Sasuke. "Don't be so full of yourself, SA-SU-KE!" I walked over to Shikamaru and pulled him out of there. "Were going to Ino-chan's house." I said, calming myself down. "Ino's, eh?" Shikamaru muttered.
I turned to him, a smile of triumph on my face. "Un!"
