Prologue
She decided to go up to the rooftop of the school before class. Hinata thought that the refreshing cool breeze would help her calm down and brush away that nervous feeling in her stomach.
The small gust of wind blew the short, indigo locks of her hair back and forth, side to side. The Hyuuga girl stood there, rooted at the same spot on the rooftop. The feeling, somewhat, did calm her down, yet, she still felt that churn in her stomach that would send the message "Something bad will happen". She tried to persuade herself that it was because of the exams that she would be this nervous, however, her mind told her that it was something else, something even worse than the exams.
"Hinata, what are you thinking? Nothing is going to happen. You studied hard for this exam. You know you got it down, but why are you this nervous?" She asked herself.
Suddenly, the sound of the door opening distracted her. When she turned, Hinata saw a flash of pink sped by.
Sakura?
Indeed it was Haruno Sakura, yet, she was in tears. The pink-haired girl stood at the edge of the rooftop. Sakura's actions signaled Hinata to automatically run towards where the pink beauty was positioned.
"Sakura! What are you doing? It's dangerous to stand there!" Hinata shouted.
Slowly, Sakura turned to face Hinata. Hinata was able to see her emerald eyes puffy and a little red. Wet, salty tears streamed down her face.
Her mouth opened, and words started to be spoken.
"Hinata, don't come any closer. I don't want you to stop me," she warned.
Hinata didn't care. She took two steps closer to the pink-haired teenager.
"Sakura, we can talk! Don't make a mistake like this, or you'll regret it!" Hinata tried her best to convince the girl.
The Haruno girl shook her head side to side and took one step back.
"Hinata! I'm sorry! I'm sorry that I've bullied you along with Ino and Karin! I know that it was wrong! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" Sakura shouted.
"If you were truly sorry, you wouldn't try a stunt like this!" Hinata retorted.
Silence clung into the air. A few minutes later, Sakura Haruno had the courage to speak up, once again.
"I'm sorry, Hinata. Please forgive me for what I've done," she quietly said and turned around quickly and jumped off.
"Sakura!"
Hinata dashed herself forward, attempting to grab the other girl's hand.
One hand grabbed the other. Relief filled Hinata's mind for awhile. Sakura's body was dangling from the rooftop while Hinata was flat on her stomach and her hand was holding Sakura's, tightly.
Akiyama's students that were coming through the gate gathered in a large circle and were looking up at the rooftop.
"Someone's trying to commit suicide!"
"Somebody stop her!"
"Wait, isn't that Haruno Sakura?"
"And that's Hinata trying to save her!"
These words were heard from the crowd of students.
"Come on Hinata. Gather all your strength! Someone's life is on the line here and you're given the chance to save her! Don't screw it up! Come on!" Hinata encouraged herself.
Most people think that life is just to live and to sail through without problems. That nothing dramatic would really ever happen to them. Hinata was one of these people. But, her thoughts have changed starting about a year ago. It was when reality hit her.
