The sky sure is blue... I thought, looking at the window. My class is taking a test and, as usual, I finished before most everyone. I generally pass the time by twirling my blue hair and staring at a certain blond boy two rows to my right. He, on the other hand, generally grimaces at his test like it insulted him. Oh god, I love those looks. Along with him scratching his right ear with his pencil. Come on, the test isn't that hard! I silently cheered. That's all I ever do, actually. Silently cheer.

"Ok, time is up," the grey-haired teacher said, erasing the questions on the blackboard. "Please pass your tests to the person in front of you." That's my teacher, Kakashi Hatake. I've been in his class for a few months now, and there's one thing I've never figured out: How can he keep his hair gravity-defiant? Gel? Well, his hair isn't glossy.... The mystery continues unsolved.

"Ms. Hinata...!" Kakashi-sensei called me out of my deep daydreaming.

"What?!" Something in my mind triggered me to stand up and my legs somehow interlocked with the legs of my chair, sending me to a painful kiss to the floor. The class just laughed at yet another graceful move by Hinata the Magnificent.

My teacher just rolled his eyes. "If you don't pay attention, you're practically asking me to give you detention, again."

"Sorry." Not again, my kicked myself. Naruto is cute, but you're here to learn! Now, with renewed resolve, I tried to listen carefully to Kakashi-sensei.

Kakashi looked at the clock. "Well, it's almost time to go. However, you need homework." The entire class huffed; Naruto almost had a heart attack, again. Well, it wasn't a heart attack, really. But he complained his left arm was tingly. He isn't unhealthy or anything. I've seen his abs at the pool. Focus, Hinata! Bad girl! "This weekend is a five-day holiday, so I'm reluctant to give you work. You see my predicament here?" Naruto's eyes filled with hope. "Aw, hell. No homework."

"Yahoo!" my exuberant friend, Kiba, cried, jumping out of his seat. I looked at the other students. Only Shikamaru, for some odd reason, just didn't give a damn.

~xXx~

So, after wrestling my way through a jubilant crowd heading downstream through the pearly gates of freedom (the front exit, kiddies), I came out to the school yard. Okay, breathe in, breathe out. Now's the time you'll finally ask Naruto out. I straightened out my school uniform, which by the way I absolutely love. It's a baby blue-and-white sailor uniform for girls. I know it's kind of kinky, but I think it's cute. Besides, I need to look my best. I suddenly caught sight of my prey. Aw, there he is.

Okay, this is it. I started making a beeline toward him when I suddenly had a vice grip around my throat, pulling me backwards. I only realized that Sakura, one of my inner circle of friends, had pulled me toward our said group. "Good thing you're here," she cheerily said while I was recovering from asphyxiation. "You need to come with us to the mall. Tenten will be on her first date with Neji and we need to pick a cute outfit."

"It's not a big deal!" Tenten objected, but in vain. I don't know why I started hanging out with her. Maybe it's because she does better at gym class than me? Maybe.... Anywho, Tenten just pouted. "Besides, I don't think Hinata cares what her cousin does, do you?"
I hate it when they do this! When two of my friends have two opposing sides, they always drag me into it. But when I argue with one of them, they don't give that much of a damn. Curse you, sheer irony! Curse you all to heck! "N-no, I don't," I stuttered (oh, by the way, I stutter when I'm nervous).

"See? Leave me alone!" Tenten tried to get Sakura off her back. "It's just me and him."

"It's never that simple, honey," Sakura's henchgirl, Ino, said. "You need the right makeup, dress, shoes, jewelry....You need to knock him dead with your looks."

I actually pictured Neji dropping dead at the sight of Tenten in a really nice dress. I smiled inside. Heh heh heh. Actually I don't hate my cousin, but he used to treat me with contempt until Naruto saw him hit me. Well, let's just say Neji treats me fine now:)

"Well, if you can catch me I'll go." And with that she dashed off towards freedom.

"Oh, well," I resolved. Then I remembered what I was wanted to do. I looked around but to no avail. Naruto was long gone. "Damn it!" Maybe next time. Wait, I've been saying that for years, when will it happen?! Everytime my Naruto-senses start tingling, I get sidetracked. Why does God hate me so? "Well, I need to get home. Catch you later."

Well, that's how most days are for me. I know it sucked, but hey you roll with what life gives you. Oh, make a mental note to choke Sakura back. People don't know me for my evil side. Okay, I don't have one, but if I did, I'd choke everyone, including myself. No, Hinata! Not the psycho bitch routine again. It took you two years of therapy to get over that.

"Hinata! Are you writing in your diary in the bathroom again? I have to pee!" Oh, that's my younger sister, Hanabi. Why write in the bathroom you ask? I don't know. I just think better on the toilet for some reason. Anyhow, cheer for me!
