Inside a tiny bed lay a weak but beautiful young girl known as Hinata Hyuga. Next to her in a plastic red chair, was a quiet, perhaps not as attractive coonsidering all the scratches, band-aids, and the large mope of bandage covering her wide forehead, was a 17-year-old girl called Sakura. \par \par Sakura quietly leaned over Hinata just in time to see her eyes slowly making progress to awaken. "She's awake" said her inner self. \par \par "Hi...nata?" \cf0\f1\fs20\par \cf1\f0\fs24\par Hinata's eyes were opening very slowly, when she noticed Sakura-\par \par "Sa-sa-sakura-san?! Oh my...huh? Who-what-"\par \par Sakura smiled. "It's okay Hinata, you're in mine and Ino's dorm. You kinda passed out sick at the picnic last night, so I thought because of the long line-up to the nurse's office...well you get the idea."\par \par Sakura put her hand on Hinata's forehead. "Hmmmm...tolerable. You should keep resting though."\par \par Hinata made a sickly feeling expression.\par \par "Ummm...Sakura-san? I don't quite understand...where's TenTen...a long line-up? Oh my..I-"\par \par "It's okay Hinata. Well...yesterday, a couple of party crashers wearing dark cloaks ruined the picnic. Principal Tsunade hasn't figured out who they were for sure...but she said they were most likely the Akatsuki, only this time not wanting to reveal their identity...still we can't be sure"\par \par "Ummmm...is that why..?" \par \par Hinata pointed to Sakura's forehead. \par \par "Yeah...and unfortunately, it's also why a lot of people had to go to the nurse's office. Not all of us are amazing ninja. Consider you and I lucky!"\par \par Hinata gave a worried look to Sakura. "Oh god, I'm so sorry for all the trouble, all I've done was cause trouble..."\par \par "Look...Hinata, it's okay. I...understand how you feel...but believe me, you're a lot stronger than you used to be...aren't you Hinata...?"\par \par Hinata gave a confused look, but before anything more could happen, Ms. Chou came in. \par \par "Hello, Sakura. Hello Hinata. You girls doing okay?"\par \par Sakura and Hinata both nodded. \par \par "Well, that's good to hear. Sakura, could I speak with you for a moment?"\par \par "Of course , Miss.Chou " Sakura replied getting out of her chair. \par \par Sakura and Miss.Chou went into the hallway to talk leaving Hinata alone. \par \par Hinata stared outside the window. Sakura's and Ino's room was different from her's and Tenten's. It was elaborately decorated with flowers...yes mostly flowers. However, it wasn't necessairly he flowers she noticed first...it was a photo. Inside a small gold frame next to Sakura's desk was a little picture of Sakura,Naruto, and Kakashi. Sakura arm was around Naruto's waist, and Naruto's was around her shoulder. Kakashi had one hand on Naruto's shoulder...\par \par Seeing Sakura with Naruto...yes she knew he was on her team...still, she just couldn't help feeling a twinge of jealousy.\par \par Sakura then came in. "Okay, thank you Miss.Chou. I'll be sure to give it to her."\par \par Sakura was about to sit down again, until- "Sakura, you should be getting to class soon. The nurse has some more beds, Hinata can rest on one of those." \par \par Sakura got up. "Well...alright. I guess we should. Hinata, you can walk right?"\par \par Miss.Chou left the room. Sakura began to gather her things together.\par \par "Huh? Hinata, you okay?"\par \par "Ummmmm" Hinata blushed. Like crazy. \par \par Sakura at first was confused, then she understood. "Oh...that time of month,huh? I have some in my closet..."\par \par "It's okay Sa-sakura-san. I h-have some in my purse...Ummm...could you.."\par \par Sakura passed over Hinata's purse which had been laying on Ino's desk for quite some time. \par \par "Hinata sat at the edge of bed and began to dig through her purse... out she removed a a small white doll, with a poitny spiked head, which almost looked like hair for the doll.Then Hinata continued to search.\par \par "Oh...what that?"\par \par "Oh...umm...it's um, this doll I um,... I made it a few years ago...but I removed most of the details. I now use to keep stuff in my purse from f-falling out."\par \par Sakura continued to stare at the doll. Her expression melted as saw it. \par \par "H-hey"She said quickly"...It kinda looks like -Naruto!" \par \par Hinata gave Sakura a surprised expression for a second, then said ," Oh no, this is-"\par \par "SAKURA! HURRY UP!! I DON'T WANT TO BE LATE FOR CLASS AGAIN BECAUSE OF YOU AND YOUR LATE ASS!!!!"\par \par Ino's voice boomed through the door. \par \par "Oh gawd!! I totally forgot about class!!! Seeya Hinata!!"\par \par Sakura grabbed her bag and ran out the room.\par \par \par As she ran, her head began to fill with strange thoughts."How could I forget?...Hinata's in love with Naruto...but Naruto's loves ME, right?...Huh? What...w-what's going on, why am I thinking this?"\par \par Sakura and Ino hurried over to health class, just in time to hear the pairings for the well known 'flour bag' assignment that they were about to have. " ...-manaka Ino and Sai, Hyuga Hinata and Uzumaki Naruto, Haruno Sakura, and Uchiha Sasuke, Inuzuka Kiba and ..."\par \par Sakura twitched as soon as she heard that Hinata was with Naruto. Out of nowhere,Ino gave her a big pat on the back.\par \par "Hey Sakura, you got Sasuke-kun! Lucky gurrl."\par \par Sakura twitched again. "Oh...I did? Oh...looks like I did. That's ummm...great." \par \par "Alright, I want your flower bags kept in perfect condition for next health class, and your report is due on Monday."\par \par Half the class began to rush out of class with flower bags in their hands searching for their partners. \par \par "Sakura, I'm going to look for Sai. Meet me at Akako's later,'kay?"\par \par "Yeah, okay."\par \par Sakura stood frozen in front of her locker. She hadn't bothered to look for Sasuke, not that she remebered he was her partner. She was too confused with her stretchted-out thoughts...\par \par "Hinata got paired with...Naruto. She deserves this...doesn't she? She's been in love with him for such a long time...why do I have such a lump in my throat?...It just isn't making any sense...-"\par \par "Sakura"\par \par Sakura turned around to see a familiar dark haired boy, in a dark leather coat. \par \par "Sasuke-kun"\par \par Sasuke was holding a white sac in one of his arms.\par \par "Sakura, I'm busy tonight, take this will you?" He said in his rebellious voice holding out the flower bag.\par \par "Alright."\par \par Sasuke walked away. "This guy...I have a crush on him, huh? I'm supposed to... but I don't feel anything. Not sadness, not happiness, just nothing..."\par \par Sakura grabbed her purse,and slammed the locker door shut. Before she knew what she doing...\par \par \par ...she stuck out her tongue and made a disgusted face at Sasuke's back. What a fucking jerk. \par \par \par \par \par \par \par \par \par \par \cf0\f1\fs20\par
