Kiba POV
I remember the first time I met her,
Maybe too well.
But all the more special.
We were ninja academy newbies.
She sat in the back.
No one sat next to her.
She never put her head up,
Until I came in, late,
And sat right next to her.
She smiled very lightly,
But still a smile.
"Hi, I'm Kiba. Inuzuka Kiba, actually. What's your name?"
"H-Hinata."
"Oh, I see. You're a Hyuuga. Well, Hinata, wanna be friends?"
She smiled an actual smile.
I knew that was a yes.
After class was over,
We talked for a long time.
I didn't mind her stuttering,
The first couple days.
I thought it was kinda cute.
After that,
She stopped the stuttering around me.
We shared and traded lunches all the time.
We hung out,
And I made her laugh sometimes.
But one day, she fell for the class clown,
Uzamaki Naruto.
She was crazy about him.
She told me herself.
I was crushed.
I guess, being good buddies was good enough...
For now.
But I'll be waiting for that day,
When she changes her mind.
