On with the story.
Chapter 1: New Routine.
Hinata's POV
I laid in my new bed staring at the ceiling of my new room, in my new home, in this new village. So yeah this is all new to me. I would think this would be a hard change for a 161/2 year old girl like me, but I feel something good is to come of this…I hope.
There was a knock on the door, and before I could answer, my mother peeked her head through my door and frowned at me.
"Hinata get up from your bed. You told me to wake you up early so you could explore the new village, and here I am making you get up! Come on move your lazy butt and get going!" She said clapping her hands together thus making noise.
I groaned. "Ok mother I will be down in a few minutes." I said giving her a lazy smile.
"Alright…you have 10 minutes and it's been 2 so get going!" She said smiling.
"OK OK! I'm moving!" I said laughing at her childish antics.
I got up from my bed and rubbed to rest of my sleep out of my eyes. I stretched my numb limbs and yawned. I walk into my closet and picked out some clothes. I decided to wear some knee length shorts and a black form fitting shirt while throwing a navy blue button down shirt over it just to leave it unbuttoned. I started looking for my black converse and couldn't find them. I shrugged and went into the bathroom to relieve my bladder and then brush my hair and wash my teeth.
I sighed. "This is going to be a long day." I mumbled to myself as I walked down to eat breakfast.
"So Hinata, are you going to try and make friends this year?" She asked me as she set a blueberry waffle in front of me.
I smiled in gratitude. "Um, well…" I trailed off a while in thought.
I don't know if should start to make friends. All my life I have been this quite, shy girl that would never speak to anyone if not necessary. I had no friends to count on. I guess it wouldn't hurt to try. Although… I do have to stop stuttering all the time. It's embarrassing.
I came out of my thoughts to see my mom looking at me with a worried expression stapled on her face.
I gave her a reassuring smile. "I will try my hardest to make some kind of friend." I suddenly grinned and my mom sighed.
"Oh come on mom! I haven't told you what my thoughts are and you are already irritated?" I shouted accusing her.
She giggled and then smiled warmly at me. "Alright… we shall make a deal Hinata, you may have a dog, but in return you have to make friends and free yourself from that shield you hide behind." She finished the sentence furrowing her brows.
I choked on my last piece of the waffle. Once I got it down I got up and hugged my mother happily. "Oh thank you! I promise I won't let you down!" I said as I got my purse and started walking to the door.
She stopped me. "Hinata wait." She said as she walked towards me with a shy smile.
"Yes? What is it mother?" I said turning towards her.
"I know I make a fuss about having a dog… but know that you are to get one… I would suggest getting a rather large… giant… dog. One that can help your ninja training. You know you have been going soft on those terms." She said seriously.
"Oh…. Uh…. Yeah ok! No problem!" I said hugging her excitedly.
"Be careful out there. Oh and don't forget your cellphone honey. I case you get lost." She said as she went to get it for me.
This is turning out to be a great day. I finally get to have a dog! A fairly large dog at that! I've always wanted one! I can't wait to get one. But I feel strange… hmm… I'm forgetting something…
I snapped out of it when my mother came with my cellphone in her hand. Once she gave it to me I snapped my fingers and ran back upstairs to my room.
When I came back my mom was going to ask what was wrong with me but I cut her off.
"Shoes." I said pointing to my feet.
"Oh" She giggled. "It is so unlike you to forget those." She said with sarcasm dripping from every word.
"Ha Ha… very funny mom." I said as she smiled at me.
"Well I should get going now. I love you bye." I said as I walked outside looking around to my new village.
Well this is a good start. No one has mocked me yet.
I looked around and found a young pink haired girl walk by me.
"Um, excuse me." I said to the young girl.
She stopped and smiled at me walking to stand in front of me.
"Yes?" She said casually. "Hmm… I have never seen you around here in Konoha before. You must be new here." She said looking at me intently.
"Um… well you are right I am new here. And so far it is all very nice here." I said smiling shyly.
"Well that's great! I'm Sakura Haruno." She said as she reached out to shake my hand.
I reached out and shook it politely. "I am Hinata Hyuuga. Nice to meet you." I said mentally smiling at myself for not stuttering.
I looked at the girl and she seemed to be wearing a short pink skirt and a casual pink shirt with the sleeves cut off. She was wearing some pink converse and her hair was short, up to her shoulders only. I spotted a headband on her head.
Hmm, that must be her villages headband since it represented the village hidden in the leaf. I remember when I used to wear the headband from my previous village.
I felt my cheeks light up when she saw me staring at the headband.
"You can get one. Oh wait… are you a ninja?" She asked hoping not to hurt my feelings in any way.
"Yes, I am." I laughed at her sigh of relief and she started laughing with me.
"Well are you going to transfer to Konoha High?" She asked hoping I would say yes.
"Well, I don't know… since I got here now in the beginning of summer vacations. I don't know how it is there." I said shyly.
She smiled. "Don't worry one bit Hinata! The school is great! You will certainly love it there!" She said.
"Well, then I guess I'm going to Konoha High this year." I said smiling.
Sakura squealed and then laughed. "That's great! We can…" She trailed off looking down.
I tried to get her attention. Once I did I smiled. "What's wrong Sakura?"
"N-Nothing I was just going to jump to conclusions is all." She said smiling shyly at me.
I laughed. "Don't worry… we can be best friends." I grinned at her slightly.
Her head shot up and she was hugging me next thing I knew. I returned her hugged and she smiled.
"Thank you." I said to her.
"No, thank you Hinata." She said smiling at me.
"So were you headed some where specific?" She asked curiously.
My eyes lit up at remembering what I was out to do. "Well I would say yes… but I don't know where to go around here… I was going to get lost…" I trailed off.
She smiled. "Well where are you headed? I can help you out." She said smiling.
"Well, I was looking for a good place to adopt a dog." I said neutrally.
"I know the perfect place!" She said as she dragged me by my arm. "You'll love it! There are so many dogs to choose from there!" She said with a shine in her eyes.
