AN: To all those who have read "Healing the wounds" I now have a restricted computer time on weekdays, so I won't be updating too fast. I have half-term holidays next week so both stories will be updated then. Oh yeah, and I am working on a third story which is co-written with my friend Neko Eclipse.
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto, and I never will. :(
Ages… well everyone except the teachers are based to be around 15-18.
Hinata sighed. She didn't want to get up today. She just wanted some peace and quiet in this new town, which she was supposed to call 'home'.
Technically, Tokyo wasn't new to her, as she had lived there before she went to America, but she would only be able to stay there in the holidays. She was starting high school today, but the high school was also a boarding school.
Her father had very high expectations of her, just because she was the heir to his stupid company. The stress of being on top everyone else nearly drove her mad.
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!
Oh shit. It was already six. That meant Hinata had to get up and face the new day. Which involved a three hour car trip, loads of new people, and SCHOOL.
Hinata slowly rose from her futon, and rubbed her sleepy eyes.
"HINATA!" Great! Her annoying sister was up, and would come to her room to wake her up. That was the only good thing about going to boarding school. She wouldn't have to put up with Hanabi anymore.
Hanabi barged into her room. "HINATA!!! HAVE YOU PACKED? ARE YOU UP? HURRY UP!!!"
Hinata threw a pillow at her, and pulled the covers over her head in a desperate attempt to block out the annoying screeching.
Hanabi pulled the covers off, and Hinata groaned at the sudden heat loss. "I'm up! I'm up!"
Hinata then rolled off the bed with a thump, and proceeded to drag herself to the bathroom to have a nice, long shower.
After half an hour, Hinata went into her walk-in closet to find some suitable school clothes, which her father had already ordered.
You see, at Hinata's new school, you had the normal skirt/trousers, the shirt, blazer and tie, except that you could choose the colours for the uniforms.
Hinata had several sets of uniforms to choose from which included, three navy blue skirts and blazers, two black skirts and blazers, two azure skirts, five white shirts, two light blue shirts, and seven patterned ties. The only hitch was that the school logo had to be on the blazer, and otherwise it was fine.
On top of that, the choice of shoes was your own, as long as they were black, and you could have tights or socks in any colour and style.
(AN: My friend put me up to it to give them uniforms, I don't even have to wear uniform, so to compromise, they're all going to wear different coloured uniforms)
Hinata chose to wear a light blue shirt, with a blue blazer, a blue skirt, a black tie, and spent five minutes arguing with herself whether to wear tights or socks, and finally chose a pair of knee-high blue socks. As shoes she chose her black converses.
She sighed. Soon all these clothes would be in a couple of trunks that would be loaded into a car, and she would be off to a new home, and wouldn't see her room till Christmas.
"Oh well. There's nothing I can do about it."
After a quick breakfast of strawberry-filled rice balls (WTF???), Hinata went back into her room to pack some important things, like her laptop, her scrapbook, her jewellery, her i-pod, her makeup, and her most prized possession, an extremely delicate doll, which she had inherited from her mother. All of that went into a specially made sea blue suitcase, with wave designs on it, which she took everywhere with her.
"Hinata?" Said girl abruptly spun around to face her older cousin Neji Hyuga.
"We'll have to go soon, are you packed?"
Hinata nodded, knowing that the servants had probably packed all her things already, as she hadn't enough time to do it herself, she had to let them do it.
She hurried down with Neji, who had already been going to the school for a year, as he had opted to stay in Japan, instead of coming with them to America.
Three hours later the two Hyugas were saying goodbye to Hanabi, who had accompanied them to the school.
The school was HUGE. Even bigger than the Hyuga mansion, which amazed Hinata. From the entrance both she could see lots of block-like buildings which Neji explained were dorms.
There were a lot of students milling around the entrance, saying goodbye to their parents, chauffeurs, and greeting other students, or just hanging around.
While Neji was leading her to the office to get her dorm number, she was almost knocked over by a red-haired boy, who was being chased by a girl who looked similar to him, except that her hair was auburn, screaming "NEE-SAN YOU BASTARD!".
A lot of girls were sending love-filled glances towards the red-head when he dashed past, but when they noticed Neji, their gazes automatically switched to him.
"NEJIII-KUN!" A girl with waist-length brown hair, and the shortest skirt Hinata had ever seen (looked more like a belt), said to Neji in a seductive tone. "Why don't you dump that slut, and come with me."
Neji answered in an icy tone. "I suggest you don't insult my cousin again, or there will be hell to pay Arisu."
Arisu took on what looked like a totally faked expression of surprise. "Oh so THAT's your cousin, I never knew, of course I'm sorry about the insult, Neji-kuuun." She was flattering her eyelashes at Neji and treating Hinata as if she were an object.
Neji ignored Arisu, and pushed her out of his way, while dragging Hinata along with him towards the office.
At the office they anxiously looked at the charts for the names 'Hyuga'.
Neji was in a room with Kuchika Tenten, Rock Lee and Sabaku no Temari, while Hinata was in a room with Yamanaka Ino, Uchiha Sasuke and Uchiha Itachi.
Temari was Neji's superior, and Itachi was hers.
Hinata had heard of superiors. They were the people who kept a room in check, and had the power to order around their roommates.
Neji suddenly spotted Deidara's name with lots of GIRL'S, which sent him into a fit of sniggering. Among them was Arisu, a girl called Lina, and Sasori's mysterious (and in Sasori's opinion annoying), sister Maiyu.
Half an hour later Hinata was going off to her room, which she would share with 3 other people for the next semester, to unpack and get to know her new roommates. Neji had vaguely given her directions to her dorm, and had told her that Itachi would explain the school to her.
Neji had told her that there were two bedrooms and one en suite bathroom in each room, and each person was assigned to a room, so there would be no fights.
When Hinata arrived at the designated door. She opened it only to bump into what felt like… a male's chest. She glanced up with a sense of foreboding, only to look up into the most beautiful onyx eyes she had ever seen.
"Hello."
To be continued…
AN: sorry for the cliffy, I have to go now. Please review.
