Hinata Hyuuga was in so much trouble. She was late. Not that being late was a big a problem, just that today was her graduation and it had started over an hour ago and she was still ten blocks away from the reception hall! Her cousin had taken time from his amazingly busy schedule to attend and her sister had come back all the way from Italy just to be there. She was finally graduating law school, after years of hard work, blood, sweat and tears; she had finally accomplished her life's goal. To pay for law school, after having gotten disowned by her father, she had started working part time as a secretary in a law firm. Who would have thought that her, a small, shy little girl, would want to become a ruthless lawyer? Life was definitely surprising.
Anyways, back to the situation at hand: she had about 5 minutes left to race down 4 blocks of people filled sidewalks.
Being ever so fearless, Hinata dived into the sea of people, not really looking at where she was going. She was a making a beeline towards the reception hall. All of a sudden, her head connected with a very hard surface, which sent her flying and finally, landing not so gracefully on her bum. It really hurt!
She mumbled some apologies, not looking at her interlocutor, but at her watch. She was most definitely not going to get there on time! Gah! Could this day get any worse?
"Miss, I think you should watch where your going." The voice sounded smug.
That was it! It was the last straw and it broke the camel's back.
"HOW DEAR YOU? I'M IN A HURRY AND I'M LATE FOR MY OWN FREAKING GRADUATION YOU…" She got a good look at the man who she had bumped into and stopped. Time seemed to stand still. It just couldn't be possible. It couldn't be him. He was supposed to be in Paris.
"Hinata…"
She snapped out of her daze when she heard his voice. She couldn't go through with this on today of all days. She turned her back and ran away.
"Where could she be?" Hanabi Hyuuga was getting very worried. She had been sitting in the front row of the audience, waiting for her sister to arrive. The graduating class had started lining up and Hinata was nowhere to be seen. "Do you think something happened to her?" Hanabi looked up at her cousin, who happened to be sitting next to her.
"Most likely, she woke up late. You know how she is when she's nervous." But truth be told, Neji Hyuuga was also a bit worried about his kind little cousin. "I'm sure she'll get here soon."
"I'M SO SORRY! YOU SEE, MY ALARM DIDN'T GO OFF AND…" This was the second time in this very short day that Hinata Hyuuga, almost law school graduate, had made a fool out of herself. You see, she had just slammed the doors to the reception hall open and started excusing herself profusely when she realized that she had stumbled upon the wrong room. Inside, a hundred pairs of eyes turned to look at her. A banner on a wall read: Breast-feeding 101, the Do's and Don'ts of feeding your newborn child. Hinata guessed that bursting into the wrong reception hall of definitely a Don't as she quickly closed the door and sped off towards the right room.
