Hey guys! So this is my first chapter of my first fic ever. Yeahhh I know, it's another High school fic, but it'll get interesting later on, trust me. I've wanted to upload it here for a while, but just haven't had the time till now. I'm just warning you, the first chapter is suckish. It's in present tense in only this chapter. The rest of the chapters are in past tense (there isn't a reason why)
Anyways, enough with my talking. I hope you enjoy!

"Hhuun?"A tired pair of lavender eyes slowly flickers open. Is it morning already?
BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEE-
With a smack of her hand against the cold surface of the clock, it quickly quiets down. The Hyuga heiress gradually gets out of bed, and trudges her way to her cleanly polished washroom. She lazily brushes her teeth, cleaning every inch of her mouth.
After freshening up, she goes to her closet. Everything in there is neatly arranged, making it easier to find her school uniform. She slips into her sailor top and zipped up her navy skirt that is not too long or too short.
Hmm..should I wear this clip or this bow? I don't want to look too special on my first day of school, but then again I don't want to look plain. With a sigh, she takes off the hair accessories and decides to just leave her raven coloured hair down and flowing.
Grabbing her bag, the 16 year old left her room and heads towards her kitchen. The dining table is isolated leaving only herself to eat her morning meal.
A maid comes walking in carrying a tray. "Lady Hinata, here is your breakfast." The maid carefully takes the bowl of soup off the tray and places it in front of her mistress. "Have a good meal Lady Hinata."The girl known as 'Hinata' nods her head in a 'thank you' kind of gesture. After bowing to her master, the maid leaves, leaving Hinata alone once again.
Father and Hanabi must be off at a meeting. She quietly ponders. The Hyuga family owns a business. Not just any business though, it is the second most high ranking company in the Country of being the Nara Corps. Being a cosmetics company, The Hyuga family own lots of stores that are scattered all across the country. Her father, unsurprisingly, is the boss of the place, and her younger sister just seems to be the next in line for the company, so she joins her father in most of their meetings.
After finishing up her meal, the same maid comes in telling her the car is ready. "Lady Hinata, the car will not be there to pick you up today. Your stuff will be delivered to your dorm by tonight, so you may stay there from now on." The maid says in a kind way, ending with a smile. "I shall see you next time milady." Hinata nods once again, this time with a smile. Her chauffeur quickly shuts the door for the young Hyuga, and drives off to her new school, Konoha Gakuen.
She watched the cherry blossom trees as she passes by and sighed. The self conscious girl, sets her eyes down to her fingers and starts twiddling her fingers out of habit. Oh no! Oh no! What should I do once I get there? How should I approach people? Hi, my name is Hinata, I like reading and writing. My hobby is gardening. No, no this won't do. The driver looks back to see his mistress shaking her head in fret. "Lady Hinata, there's no need to worry, everything will just be fine. Breath in and out if it helps."Her driver sighs, thinking She probably doesn't hear me right now.
And he was right. Much too into her thoughts, she doesn't even hear a word her driver was saying. What if no one likes me? What if they think I'm a weirdo? AHHH! She sighed once more, giving the air a very depressing feeling. Why am I even doing this? I was fine being homeschooled. Damn father.
It had been well over a month since the first day of school, yet the Hyuga waited till now to attend. Well, technically not 'waited', it's more like being forced to attend.
The girl's facial expression changes from a worried look to a frown at the unwelcomed memory. It started off with Hiashi calmingly telling her to go. "It's been about a month since I've enrolled you into the school. When are you ready to finally go and attend?"
Her reply was a stuttered "I'm not".She didn't even get to finish her sentence when her father had abruptly yelled and almost slapped his daughter.
"THIS IS WHY I'M SENDING YOU TO SCHOOL! If you want to be the heir to my company, you must act like one, that includes being able to talk straight. Your stuttering is not welcome here, nor in my business! That's why Hanabi is going to take your place. Do you want her to take over the company that's supposed to be yours?! HUHH?"His oldest daughter quickly shook her head from side to side. She wanted to run the company that her deceased mother loved working in.
Now gaining back his composure, he once again said "Go to school then. I know you hate talking, but this will help you to succeed my business."
It wasn't that she hated talking; it was only because she was too shy to say anything to people. However she did not bother stating this to her father. It would start another problem to arise, so she just continued to listen to her father.
"I'm giving you this chance to do so. Overcome your stuttering and improve your social skills. Think of it as a mission. If you do not complete this mission by the end of your graduation, I will hand my business to Hanabi. Understood?" Hiashi raised his left eyebrow up. His eyes gave her a glare meaning to agree without any troubles.
She gave him a nod, and got up to leave. "Wait Hinata, one more thing. Your second mission is to-"
Her memory is cut short from her chauffeur nudging her shoulder. "Mistress, we've arrived at Konoha Gakuen." It takes Hinata a minute to process what he said. Her face pales into a lighter colour than it already was. School…. School…WHEN DID I GET HERE?! Oh no. Should I just run? Get out of this car and start running to who knows where? Sounds like a good idea. Okay let's try it.
Hinata gets out of the car, and is about to flee until her eyes get caught on something. A black Ferrari dives past her. And if you looked at it closely, you could see Hiashi giving a threatening glare at her, almost saying "You ditch, you die."Hinata gulps and nods her head to her driver. With that done, she turns and leaves towards the dreaded place.
Omg, It's horrible isn't it. In all honesty, I find this chapter not to my liking, mostly the part where Hinata talks to her father. I'll probably re-write it later on once I get the time. I've already written a few more chapters of this but I won't be uploading them yet, sorry!
