So it's been awhile for me. I've been busy busy and I have yet to finish my other story. But I just wanted to start fresh with a new story and I'll be on break soon I will update all stories (lol storY) . So I'll meet you guys at the end. Enjoy!
Bee-Bee-Bee-Bee-Bee-Bee-Bee
A very tired and irritated Hinata Hyuga tried to shut off her alarm reaching out to her nightstand, only to remember that she had placed it on her dresser across the room to ensure that she got up. The beebing went on and she covered her head with her pillow in vain as the obnoxious noise still made its way to her poor ears.
Well I'm up alright. She thought quite bitterly. Her plan was maybe too successful.
However, it was clever, and necessary. Today was her first day of school as a junior, and she'd spent nearly all night dreading the next day. No more late nights of books and the occasional flower pressing. No more alone time at any time of the day. No more freedom. Instead, she was now back to the dungeons where she could happily be greeted by overbearing work, oral assignments, worrying about her appearances and the list goes on.
But what really made her want piss her pants is the worst of all: her peers. Gosh, were they vicious. Not even just to her, but in general(in her eyes). Why were they so nasty? They were all freaking rich!(You most likely were to be if you went her school) Their parents spoiled them rotten, and probably would skip college and take over a successful family business.
Besides Uzumaki Naruto of course. Such a big heart he had. He was beautiful too. Big azure eyes, tall, handsome, and enough love to give the entire world twice. He was something else. Out of this world, but mainly our of her reach. He was the most popular in school besides the Uchiha of course. She was the most invisible loser you could find. Naruto had no idea she even existed, but that's mainly because of the people he hung out with. They were the nasty ones.
And as much as Hinata wished she were wrong and being unfair to misunderstood rich kids, she wasn't. They were as complex as group of pre-schoolers. This is not the story of how she goes from the school's complete loser to adored popular princess befriending even the most adored of the adored. No. This is the story of how she can make it through high school all in one piece, or so she thinks anyway.
And concerning the taking over-family-business part, that is all except for her. She Called it the 'one-of-a-kind-Hinata-Hyuga-curse' where her father sees a lacking amount of potential in his first daughter, and gives the almighty position to his second daughter. Even places her own cousin in higher esteem than she. Meaning that even if Hinabi were to have a change in heart, or seem unfit for the position, Hinata still would not have dibs. But, hey, at least she has school, right?
But then again, Hinata found herself.
Hinata stopped worrying about her bland mess of life, and started getting ready. Unlike most private schools, Konoha School of Excellence For the Gifted (KSEFG) allowed kids to wear what they like with very few but certain restrictions that no one listened to. She walked to her closet and cursed herself for not taking Chiko up on her offer to go shopping last week. Damn, was she gonna get it today. She chose a black pair of old jeans, black Chuck Taylor's, a light purple northface hoodie. She combed her long waist length hair, and put it in a high bun. She put on her black framed glasses, not minding that she made no appointment to get her contacts. The glasses just helped aid in hiding her from her fellow class mates. She turned to the mirror neither appalled nor satisfied with what she saw, but just sighed and shrugged. It'll have to do.
.
She rushed down stairs to eat breakfast loving the intoxicating aroma getting stronger as she entered the kitchen. Her senses(mainly her nose) were overflowing with the presence of cinnabons. And out came Chiko, her maid/Nanny.
"Good Morning, Hina-chan. I made your favorite this morning." She smiled at her mother figure. She had cared for her as long as she could remember, she'd help Hinata with her self esteem issues, and even helped to improve her stutter. However, even with her help, and much appreciation, Hinata was still a considerably failed Hyuga.
Chiko was a sweet middle aged lady. She had long brown hair with a few streaks of silver, and big Brown piercing eyes to match. Her mouth was usually wide with a smile with tiny wrinkles around it. Her features were soft and very according to how well mannered she was. Hinata didn't even need to ask to know that she was very beautiful when she was younger. Despite her features and respectful nature, Chiko wasn't one to be to trifled with. She didn't take any of the bull this generation thought they could pull. She'd fix you right up, and she didn't care whether that meant getting physical or not.
Hinata gave a smile."I-I can s-see that. Thank you, Chiko-chan."
"Come and sit child." Hinata did just that, and took a cinnabon off the table platter. "Now, Where are your other siblings?" She asked.
Hinata shrugged, and gave an iffy, "M-Maybe upstairs. Probably still getting ready." Unlike Hinata, the other Hyugas of this family sought to it that they looked as good as their family name.
"I could maybe understand Hana, but that metrosexual Neji. Now he should have been down here ages ago. He's a man, not a Barbie doll." Chiko shook her head a little, and Hinata giggled.
"Good Morning, Hinata-sama," He looked to Chiko."I heard that,y'know." The tall and well groomed Neji made his to the kitchen while Hanabi followed suit.
The youngest hyuga laughed. "It's not so far from the truth Neji-nii."
He looked up to glare. "Not another word of it. I only care about my appearance."
She rose a brow. "Ten fold the amount of a regular guy?"
"What are you implying?" He narrowed his eyes.
"Quiet, tall, dark, and handsome, but no girl? I think it's about time you came out the closet." Hanabi smirked.
Neji' s face was turned red with anger. "We went over this a thousand times!"
"A thousand and one today." She countered.
"Shut up, eight grader."
"Hey!"
Chiko finally stepped in,"Alright, alright, enough. Hana-chan, quit tormenting your poor niisan. He just cares about his appearance," Neji nodded, but she continued. "And Neji, be the bigger person. You're her niisan. Give it a rest. It's only okay to say those things when I say it."
Hanabi grumbled as she ate her eggs, and Neji just continued eating but Hinata saw his jaw muscles pulsate with each bite.
"Alright, now hurry up. You've got a first day of school to attend."
.
In the front car passenger seat, Hinata felt her insides churn like butter, and then regurgitate itself. She was physically holding her stomach to keep it from coming up out of her throat. You would think that after eleven years of facing the same struggles and expectations, she would be used to it. Wrong. She was anything but. If anything, it got worse every year because the kids got worse.
Hanabi was dropped off first at the nearby junior high for gifted kids. Now it was her and Neji' s stop. Neji didn't face her struggles. Neji was tall, dark, and handsome. Everyone loved Neji, and he didn't even try. There were two familiar faces waiting for him outside the limo in the large sea of faces. For Hinata? She looked around for anyone she even briefly talked to-nothing.
Before they got out of the car, Chiko looked at them. She didn't have to come with them to get dropped off. It was just something she did for Hinata early in the school year. For reassurance, but it was the same thing each year.
"Remeber, child, you are capable and-"
"B-Beautiful, I-I know." Chiko gave her a look.
"If you know, then prove to me you do. Be strong today, Hina-chan. You made it this far."
Hinata gave the woman a reassuring smile, and Neji looked at her-whenever your ready. She nodded, and got out of the limo.
Uchiha Sasuke pulled up in a Bentley to his school. Correction: to his school, with his mom, in his mom's car. Sasuke was lucky his mother even allowed him to ride in this car with him today, but his father had to borrow the family Audi car because his was in the shop this morning. Mikoto didn't play when it came to her car. She made sure he showered and put on clean clothes. Not that he didn't everyday, but today his mother definitely-let's just say reassured herself.
Sasuke shuddered at the memory, and his mother happily drove her son to school satisfied knowing He was a clean boy.
"Are you excited, honey?" His mother asked him.
"About what?" He asked back.
Her mouth twisted into a frown. "Stop that. I was asking an honest question."
He sighed. "No I am not. I don't know what kind of a douche bag would."
She gave a small smile. "Oh, C'mon. You'll get to see all your old friends again."
"Like who?" He asked.
"Naruto-"
"Like I didn't see him ever single day over break." She sighed at the validity of his statement.
"Well there's Kiba-"
"Dog breath, mom? Really?"
"What about that Sakura girl, hm? She seemed nice." They both exchanged looks, and his mom couldn't even keep a straight face, and burst into laughter. Sasuke shared a grin. Mikoto didn't dislike the girl, it's just that Sasuke disliked her so much that Mikoto found it pretty hilarious. Sasuke had many admirers, but she had to be the most annoying-in both of their opinions.
"Okay, how about Jugo?"
"Graduated."
"Suigetsu, he was quite the jokester."
"Hn."
"Ah! There you go! Tolerance, Sasuke-chan." She gave him a slight shove of pride.
They pulled up to the school, and she stopped to look at Sasuke. "Look at my boy, getting all grown up. You're a junior this year. You're gonna do great things this year."
"Because I didn't last year." Sasuke necked himself.
Mikoto laughed. "Make me proud Sasuke."
He gave a slight smirk. "I always do." He got out of the car, and was met by a vibrant orange friend.
"Hey Sasuke. Oh is that you're mom?" He waved without him confirming it.
"Hi Naruto! Oh, I love you Sasuke!" Sasuke cursed, and everyone's attention was drawn. Everyone in the courtyard looked at him waiting for what he would do.
Awkwardly, he responded. "...Love you too." She smiled and drove off. The girls in the courtyard 'awwed' while the guys snickered.
Naruto gave a deep laugh. "Yo, you're such a mama's boy." He teased.
Sasuke glared. "At least my mom loves me."
Naruto returned his icy stare with a firey gaze. "My mom loves me too!"
"Whatever," Sasuke said apathetically while dismissing the topic. "So what's you're first class?"
Naruto returned to normal. "AP chem with Asuma Sensei. Ugh, I had him last year. Why in the hell do I have him again?"
"AP?" Sasuke asked bewildered, though he didn't show it.
"Yea, while my grades last year terrible like always, my state test scores were good enough to get me in honors, but my dad got me in AP."
"Hm, sounds like a lazy genius I know."
"Speaking of..." a lethargic voice came from behind him. Said boy sported an outfit that matched him perfectly. He wore a sports jacket with rolled up sleeves. He had on a light blue dress shirt that barely passed his sports jacket fitting him slimly. His pants slim Jim nudies, and he wore black Chuck Taylor's. Lazy and effortless.
The two watched each other before smirking.
"What's up, Uchiha?" He gave Sasuke a dap.
He chuckled. "Nothing much. Just getting annoyed by this dork most of the summer, but how about you?"
"That's not cool!" The blonde exclaimed. The two ignored him.
"Nothing really. Just running from Ino like usual."
Sasuke rose a brow. "Now why's that?"
"She found out I was dating that college freshman..."
"Oh..."
"You always did have thing for blondes." Naruto interjected.
"Shuddup idiot." Sasuke quieted.
"Hey, you-" He cut him off.
"Lets just get to class. Whatch you got, Shikamaru?"
"AP Chem Asuma, and what about the others?"
"Hn. Who needs 'em? They're late, they're late."
"Wow, thanks." Kiba crossed his arms with a playful grin speaking for the rest of them -Chouji, and Shino.
"Hey, guys!" Naruto waved to them like they were across the courtyard and not right in front of him.
Shino, the extra quiet one of the group nodded at them. He wore gray cargo pants, and a fitted black dress shirt. He got rid of his Antarctica coat and hoodie, and you could clearly see his face, and hair which was spiked up a little in the front. Although, he still kept on his black sun glasses.
"Hi Naruto." He smiled at Sasuke, and stood by Shikamaru. Sasuke had a double take. He looked completely different. Chouji shed off a lot of weight since the beginning of last year. His face slim with a masculine look that complimented him perfectly. He even cut his hair! It looked like it was when he was younger. Spiky and short. He wore a red hoodie, and black nudies with Timberland boots
The boys all briefly greeted each other. Sasuke and the others finally started walking, and the(corny as it sounds) Handsome Five(soon to be six with Chouji' s transformation)-as the kids around school liked to call them, was reunited.
She was basically holding onto Neji as they approached the schoolyard. She looked at her feet, hoping she would go unnoticed by anyone who saw her.
Neji' s friends, Tenten and Lee walked up to them.
"Hello Neji! It's been ages!" Lee greeted him with a hug which he tensed up to, and also causing Hinata to lose her grip on him.
"Lee." He greeted in return.
"Hey Neji-kun. Lee's right, it's been forever-how ya been?" Hinata rose a brow a '-kun' on the end of his name. It was so foreign to her.
Neji sighed. "I'd love to catch up you guys, but I have to walk Hinata-sama to her locker and class and what not." Neji explained. Hinata looked at her toes again feeling bad that because of her, Neji couldn't even talk to his friends now. She sighed. She had to grow up some day.
"Oh, hi Hinata-chan, didn't see you there." Lee grinned with a sparkle she was sure he had forced. Hinata smiled back in return.
"Hm? Hey Hinata-chan, how was your summer?" Tenten and Lee were nice, but not her friends. They were polite.
"G-G-Good. And y-yours?" She tried.
"Great."
"Fantastic!"
"So I'll see you some other tim-"
"O-Oh Neji-niisan, I'll be f-f-fine. You catch up w-with your friends."
"Hinata-sama?" He looked confused. She smiled reassuringly.
"I'm o-okay. Promise." And she walked away before he could say another word.
.
She walked inside the school, and quickly found her locker. She looked both ways making sure no one was on their way to start her torment early. She quickly put her bags away and got our her folder for AP Chemistry. So far so good, She thought optimistically. She closed her locker, and looked down only to see this was her AP Spanish folder. She opened her locker again forgetting to look both ways. As she was about to close her locker, it was closed for her. Slammed actually. The well manicured hand stayed on her locker.
"Miss me?" The sweet voice said.
Hinata didn't need to turn. The girl who tormented her since she could walk was right behind her and probably accompanied by friends as well.
She closed her eyes."Karin." She exhaled.
She put a hand around her shoulder. "Hey girl! We have much catching up to do."
.
She was pushed into a nearby bathroom. She looked at the others, and they weren't here. She breathed in relief at the absence of Tayuya and Kin.
"Oh don't look so happy." Tayuya looked at her disgusted.
Kin came out of the corner. "How rude, so relieved you thought we were gone. You deserve a little punishment." Hinata wasn't fooled that only meant something bad.
Tayuya grabbed her by the collar of her hoodie. "She's not wearing anything new." She looked her over and laughed. "Oh my gosh, are you wearing clothes from last year?" She could barely hold her she was so weak. And Hinata took her chance to escape. She almost made it to the exit.
Almost.
She was so close too. But those smart sons of bitches locked the Damn door.
Karin walked up to her, hands on her hips. She was about to say something, but punched her instead. She took her books and put them in the toilet. Hinata angrily watched her. She got up to go get her wet books, and slowly reached in the toilet for her books.
"Okay people, Hinata Hyuga reaching her hand in the toilet," Hinata dreadfully turned around. Karin had her iPhone 5s out which had amazing picture, record her doing the shamefully embarssing thing ever. "On her knees and all. That's not clean you know? Aren't you a Hyuga? A true disgrace you are like they all say."
The others laughed, and Hinata' s face burned with mortification, but mostly hot, firey, burning fury. She held her books and paper. However, face was cooled off with water sprayed straight at her face and body from the toilet.
The girls continued to laugh. "Oh my gosh, I didn't think it was gonna work, but it did. I'm a genius."
Just then there was a banging at the door. "Open up! I hear someone in there." It was Sakura. Karin closed the stall on her daring her to make a sound, and opened it for Sakura, and apparently Ino too.
"What are you wannabes doing here laughing to yourselves?" wannabes? I thought they were . It was then that Hinata was the lowest of the low in this social food chain.
"None of your business Haruno." Tayuya spat.
"Ugh, are they apart of that other fan club?" Ino asked sounding superior.
"Looks like it. You guys do whatever, I honestly don't care. I'm accepting of all people."
Through the crack Hinata saw her emphasize a wink. Ino laughed, and the moved along leaving an annoyed group of bullies to take out all their anger on one pot defenseless victim.
They opened the door looking mad ad hell. They take out all out on me. Gosh, how fair.
Hinata was already soaked. Everything she held was aleady ruined. Her self esteem already crushed. What more did the want? And just then over the intercome- "One minute warning! This is your one minute warning to get to class before the bell rings. All Juniors and seniors are rewarded detention if you are late. No excuses. This is your one minute warning! One minute Warning. Today's a Day one, and have Marvelous Monday."
Kin cursed, and looked at the poor Hyuga. "I guess we gotta go now, but it was fun Hina-chan!"
They left Hinata there soaked without a towel which they purposely threw out. Her vision blurred with tears. Tears of anger. She sniffed and got up. She wouldn't let them have the satisfaction of being late. She took her books glanced at herself in the mirror. She quickly took off her hoodie l, wiped her face with the back of it, and fixed up her Hollister shirt under it. She put her hair in a neat sock bun, and headed out the door. Angry.
She was tired of those things happening to her. She was tired of being tired. She realized she couldn't get through this year. Not like this. She knew that whatever seed was planted in her was sprouting, but she didn't know what to make of it, and how to mother, but all she knew that It was then that she made a new school resolution. She would change. She would fulfill her once empty promises to Chiko and Neji. She would become great. Better. Outstanding.
However, the first obstacle was how?
Sasuke and the rest of the class were waiting outside the classroom. It seemed basically the whole entire 'gang' as Naruto called it was there. Including Karin and Suigetsu. The bell rang and Kakshi still wasn't here. It was So like him to be late.
Sasuke shifted his weight from one side to the other, as they waited. What he thought was Kakashi, turned out to be some weird girl he's sure he's seen before, but didn't know went to this school-sprinted to their group. He thinks he's seen Shino and Kiba talk to her before. Not caring enough to ask about her lateness He continues to impatiently wait.
"Oh, familiar faces, familiar faces. Hello Sakura, Naruto, Sasuke, Shikamaru, Chouji, Shino," He came down to her. "And Hinata. Now how was everyone's summer break?" There were some grumbles.
"Mine was great!" Naruto cheered.
"So nobody's gonna answer me? The nerve of you." Kakashi disregarded Naruto.
"Why is everyone being mean to me today?" He pouted.
"No one take your seats yet. I have to take attendance. Eh," He looked around under a mask Sasuke could swear was forbidden to wear in school. "You know what, I know all of you. But first was anyone, late getting here, besides me of course?" He looked at his clipboard, and then at the class. Sasuke looked around and remembered, whatever her name was running towards his class.
She stepped up. "I-I was late,s-sir." Everyone stared at her whispered. Like 'when the hell did she get here?' or 'she goes to this school'.
"Ah, well isn't this unlike you. I'll just take this one off for you." He said writing on his clipboard.
"R-Really?" She stuttered, and Sasuke flinched at the unsettling habit.
"No." He chuckled as her face fell. "Just kidding. Yeesh, so sensitive." Everyone began to their seats.
"Um, sorry get up everyone." And they did. "Turns out that I actually have to choose your seats for you." And the class went in an uproar.
"Hey, hey calm down! It's a new rule for this class. In particular. I don't know if you've noticed, but this specific group of students or 'team' as you are officially called, gets very loud, and crazy, and creates the most drama. So the school told me, and all your other teachers to fix that problem, and what not-and Naruto wipe that smirk off your face. It's nothing to be proud of. Goodness." Naruto puckered his lips.
The tables held two students comfortably. Sasuke probably would've sat with Naruto, and his other friends would sit around him, but now... Then, Sakura asked the one question floating in everyone's head."So, what are the seating arrangements?"
"Chouji, Shino. Ino, Kiba. Naruto-" He looked up. "Well, go."
Ino grimaced at Kiba. "What?" He asked.
She glared."You!"
"Oh please, you're not so hot, either." He sat down feet on the table.
"And you're not hot at all."
"Shut the hell up."
"You-"
"Naruto, Shikamaru."
He continued calling names. "Suigetsu..." Kakashi flipped the page, and Sasuke found himself praying for him to call his name.
"Takami." Dammit! That was it. There was no one left in the class that he cared about.
"Sasuke..." He checked the paper. "Sakura."
Three girls stood up, and everyone's faces fell.
.
"Fuck, no." Sasuke simply stated. He crossed his arms.
"Sasuke please take your seat." Kakashi asked ushering him.
"Listen to the teacher, Sasuke-kun." Sakura tried to say like it wasn't the happiest day of her life. What luck?
"No, this isn't my seat. I'll stand the entire year, and/or force someone out of a seat. I don't care, but I'm not sitting next to her."
Kakashi sighed and continued. "We'll take complaints, and fix everything at the end. Hinata, Karin..."
Hinata was taken aback. How could Sasuke just flat out say no? It was a little disrespectful, but she applauded him. She couldn't do that even if her life depended on it.
Kakashi continued. "Hinata, Karin." Her stomach caught in her throat. She stopped midway and looked to Karin. She was glaring at her. Oh the irony! What the hell did she do that made her hate her so much?
"Is there a problem, girls?" Everyone stared at them, and Hinata' s face burned under the stares.
"Yes, I don't want to sit next to her." Karin said.
Kakashi sighed. "Like I said, we fix everything at the end, okay?"
She sighed and sat down next to Hinata who was sweating with dread.
"Oh well, at least I might have fun making your life miserable." She smiled. Hinata tried to sink in her seat, and roughly, Karin pulled her right up at the hem of her shirt. Hinata smartly chose to make zero noise. She just looked right in front of her at a spiky black head.
.
"Okay, now that we're done with that. Questions? Complaints?" Half the class burst out of their seat, and began yelling.
"Alright settle down. Settle down. See this what everyone talks about!" He rubbed his forehead. "Goodness, why'd I have to become social worker? Anyways, Ino, you first." Kakashi ushered her to speak.
"I am not sitting next to dog breath!"
"Yes you are, next?"
"But that's not fair!" She complained like a brat.
"According to the principal, it's not supposed to be, unless I say otherwise. Ah, Chouji." Ino glared at her desk, and crossed her arms. Hinata sighed at her childish behavior.
"May I switch with Naruto?" He asked respectful tone as always.
He looked at his board, and looked thoughtful for a moment. "I guess, but now that's up only up to Naruto."
Chouji looked to Naruto, who -from what Hinata could tell-didn't look so happy potentially being forced to sit next to her friend.
He slowly picked up his books. "Fine, but now that I'm here." He set his books down excitedly. "I'll switch with Sasuke!" Naturo giddily suggested.
"Now there's an idea." Sasuke said with a satisfied smirk still standing.
"No freaking way!" Sakura interjected.
"Sakura," Kakashi gave her a warning look.
Hinata actually liked that idea, though. She'd be right behind her crush. They would work together, besides the other unnecessary nuisances.
"And no can do, Naruto," Way to flat out that dream.
"What? Why?" He asked crestfallen. Sakura Sat back in her chair more than relieved.
"Because you two would make too much noise together. You're always making Sakura get loud, and its disruptive."
"Aww, but Kakashi-sensei..." Naruto looked disappointed.
"No buts Naruto." Kakashi's tone left no room for argument. He pouted, and sat down.
"So who can I switch seats with?" Sasuke interrogated.
"Hmmm..." Kakashi looked at the board, and put his pointer finger on his mouth. "How about...Hinata and Sakura switch?" It was quiet.
"Who's Hinata?" She heard someone say. (Who she knew was, but hoped wasn't Naruto.)
"What do you four say?" Kakshi looked at them. "Sasuke?"
He shrugged. "As long as I'm away from that demonic bi-"
"Sakura?"
"No. I like my seat."
"Sakura, you have to compromise. You see you'll still be able to see your 'Sasuke-kun', no? Okay? Complaints? Questions? Too late. Now move. This shouldn't be taking longer than five minutes. It's already been ten. Chop, chop. Let's move people. You're juniors now, so yes You do have classwork and homework to do."
Hinata quickly scurried out of her seat, but Karin caught her hand, and glared at her to make sure she didn't pull anything funny with 'her Sasuke-kun'. Hinata ripped out of her grip, and let Sakura pass who suspiciously studied her, and then laughed. She didn't think she was a threat. And Hinata found that was 100% right.
"Alright. Get a good look at the person next to you because These are your seats for the rest of the year unless I find something else more fit for you."
.
Kakashi passed around worksheets to the start of each row. Hinata gave one to Sasuke and her self, and passed out back to Karin without looking. She immediately got started.
"While this is classwork, it still is the first day of school," Kakashi started. Oh please don't say it. Please don't say it. "I'm allowing you to turn around to the desk behind you to work."
"What if you don't want to?" Sasuke asked.
Kakashi sighed. "Sasuke just turn around. Or at least just make new friends." Kakashi stated glancing over at Hinata. Her face burned as she was caught off guard as she was listening to them talk.
Sasuke sighed at his two options. Potentially Bored to death or definitely annoyed to death? Both would be rather painful. But at least one he might come out alive
He wasn't one for new people, but today he would make the exception. It's not like he could just not talk to her. Well, he could. In fact, he could do whatever the hell he wanted, but over the course of the year they would do work together, and breaking the ice now was better than later.
He scanned the page. It was basically just review of all different sciences like biology and Earth Science. He chose a random question.
"What'd you get for number six?" He asked, although it came out like a demand. Her eyes, all in half a second, looked to him, widened like a deer in front of head lights, went and back to her paper. Her face (from what he could see) grew a faint blush.
"U-Uh, m-mitotic cell d-division." She stuttered out without looking at him. He sighed. She couldn't be that anti-social. No one was more anti-social Shino. No way.
Then again, Naruto didn't know her. And Naruto knew everyone.
He looked behind him, saw a cherry headed girl glaring holes into her back. Another suspiciously looking up at her every few seconds. He turned back around. May have just found the problem to my solution.
"Explain this concept to me." That I already know so damn well.
She looked semi shocked. She looked at her hands, and pushed up her glasses. Like a true nerd. Being smart doesn't always include being geeky. Look at most of the class. And judging from her last name, Sasuke thought she should know first hand. Somehow, however, she didn't.
"U-Um, it's very s-s-simple actually-" Her stutter was annoying, but Sasuke actually chuckled after her struggling to get across the word simple was very amusing. Such a 'simple' word, and she could barely say it. She sounded like a snake while doing it too. Unfortunately, that put him step backwards, and the girl continued looking at her paper.
Sasuke cleared his throat. "Ahem, continue."
She let out what Sasuke thought was a sigh. Intresting, he thought. So she does have a certain annoyance of other people.
"T-The concept is easy. S-So the question b-basically is all about the l-l-last s-sentence. It s-states 't-the human b-body can produce and r-replace skin cells u-using t-the v-vitamin K. W-What is this process c-called?' W-Well tell me w-what you know about m-m-mitosis already." She says pushing up her glasses again. About eighteen stutters in those last five or so sentences, and Sasuke had barely heard a word.
Sasuke looked back."Hn. Not much. Karin what do you know about mitosis?"
Her eyes lit up. "It's the multiplying of cells without fertilization. A form of asexual reproduction." Sakura glared at her. Sasuke nodded.
"So what about meiosis? Why is that not the answer, uh..." He tried to remember her name.
"Hinata H-Hyuga." He took note of how she said her name. "A-And-"
Sakura quickly cut in."Meiosis involves the formation of reproductive cells or gametes-"
"I said," Sasuke snapped his fingers trying to remember. "Hikar-...Hyuga. Well, Hyuga?
"U-Um Sakura-san w-was basically right. T-The a-answer c-can't be meiosis b-because t-then..." She trailed off. Sasuke didn't even know where she was going with this.
"T-T-Then what?" Karin imitated. Earning a slight smirk of harmless humor out of Sakura.
Her cheeks grew red. "T-Then h-humans would basically have to have...i-i-i-intercourse e-every time they g-got a c-cut. T-That is o-only if t-the types were s-s-switched."
"What kind of drugs have you been doing?" Karin whispered to herself.
"Shuddup Karin, you're not funny." Sakura gave a major roll of the eyes, and looked at her paper. Sasuke looked at who looked confused. He knew Hinata only assumed that Sakura really didn't like her, or just truly thought she wasn't funny. Both were pretty much true.
"She's 100% right," Sakura lit up. "Not you. Meiosis makes the gametes that only have half the chromosomes needed which are the sperm and egg, and once combined have the 46 chromosomes needed."
Hinata looked at him confused, but her face strangely held a hint of satisfaction. "Y-you s-said..."
"Yep, but now I'm all intriguing," he stated in a 'matter of a fact' tone . "You just fell for my trap, and you want to talk to me now. Ice breaking," With a placid face, he uncharacteristically patted the top of her non-volumistic hair. "See you later, Hyuga." The bell rang, and Sasuke dismissed himself.
-Lunch
Well, it was true what they said. He was a strange, yet interesting one. Planning out that whole thing to lessen the awkwardness which lead to small talk, and small talk want exactly big on Hinata. And Hinata wasn't big on it either. Anymore for that matter. Mainly because she had no friends to practice it on.
And remembering the real problem at hand, In this sea of Monsters, Hinata found not one table free and completely isolated to go way . She clutched her Brown bag. This year she wasn't lucky enough to have Neji in her lunch period. Her muscles tightened, as her options began to escape her. Each table becoming more and more crowded with cliques. She inhaled a breath of dread. Before passed out, She exited the room. She ran upstairs to the roof, a nice sanctual place she found last very late last year(like two days left of school late). She jumped the gate to the stair case. She opened the door with a push, and was met with baby blue sky, push clouds, and sing Sun. She breathed out relief, and sat back on her head. Hunger forgotten, she began to relax, and her tension loosened.
She took her bento out of her brown bag all so one could see its savory goodness. She took her first bite of heaven. "Mmm..." She moaned aloud. How she loved Chiko' s cooking. Now this is what I'm talking about.
Why couldn't school in general be like this? She shrugged, and then took out her finger to do some homework. Algebra 2 and Tric. Too Easy. She hummed peacefully as she easily glided through each question.

Yeesh, they really are starting us off easy this year. This is-
"Oh wow, it was a great idea following you our here, Sasuke. The views amazing!" Hinata' s ears peeked at her beloved' s voice. But with his voice came others. Before she could hear anything more, she abandoned her lunch, and ran around the corner of the room leading to the roof.
"Naruto' s right for once. This sure is beautiful." Ino stated. Shikamaru, and the rest of the others in that group agreed.
Hinata panicked.
"You guys are such stalkers. I specifically said not to follow me."
"Couldn't have been that chest m clear if we all followed you." Shino said as he pushed up his glasses.
Oh my goodness. Shino and Kiba will see me humiliated.
"well I'm going to look around." Sakura stated. Her steps got closer, and Hinata held her breath. She took her books in one arm, and went into stealth mode. She quickly went around back, and the edge was very tiny-She had to walk horizontally, and slowly. She made her way. She would dive into the pool below her before she let any of them see her. She didn't know why, but she just couldn't let them see her. Pathetic and she knew it, but what other choice She? Sure she was in a quest for change, but today would not be first step . She looked down again, and her head began to spin. That's a long way down. Maybe on second thought she could just make a run for it?
She made it to the other side only to bump into a hard, expensive smelling chest. Petrified, she looked up into deep onyx eyes.
"U-Uchiha-san..."
"Hyuga." He looked back at his friends who were oblivious to it. She took her chance, and went for a swim.
.
Thankfully, it was too chilly for swimming and the fake cover was in the pool, and Hinata received only a little moisture. Best luck I had all day.
She went straight to the locker room. Thankfully she had gym next, and would just be early. Surely they couldn't be doing anything too brutal. Maybe mile run or weight room, but of course nothing seemed to go the Hyuga' s way now did they?
"Dodgeball..." She just barely muttered under her breath. The Hyuga slightly wished it had been a full blown Pacific she had landed in rather than a soft pool cover.
A little bit of a boring start, but it's mainly the exposition. I'm not sure if this is the sure length of the chapters throughout the story, but out mainly depends on my mood. So, Hinata an unlucky girl or nahhh? And how is Sasuke going to continue to make things less awkward in order to successful lab partner relationship? Find out next time! And rating may change btw.
