Love and Lies
Chapter 1: What's the difference?
A teenage girl walked out of the airport, a black suitcase in one hand. She had black hair and bright dazzling big crimson eyes. She had thick black hair with red streaks in them and they ended up till her mid back; at that moment, they were tied up in a high pony tail. Her face was pale and tired. Uttering a sigh, she looked around at the crowded parking lot, trying to spot a taxi but was of course, unsuccessful.
The girl pulled at her heavy suit case and started walking on the sidewalk. Suddenly spotting a taxi, the girl raised her hand and waved, hopefully and to her surprise the taxi stopped.
The girl smiled to herself, cheerfully and got into the taxi. After telling the directions to the driver, she sat back and took out some money… she strictly needed a job.
Putting aside the thought, she sighed as the taxi stopped. After paying, she got off the taxi, dragging the suit case behind her.
The stars shown in the night's sky looked beautiful, like small fire flies in the dark… the girl now stood in front of a tall building of flats. She walked towards the platform and started climbing the stairs towards her apartment. She stopped at the certain door and took out her keys, for a second he just stood there, finding the right one. She at last opened the door and entered.
She turned on the lights and a very familiar sight greeted her.
Her apartment consisted of two rooms, one for her and one… extra. There was a TV lounge and a small tidy kitchen and one tiny washroom.
She was now standing in the TV lounge which consisted of two beam bags, a big leather couch, a TV, a lamp, a furry carpet on the floor and a number of other things…
She sighed as she kicked off her black sneakers and threw her suite case on a beam bag. She jumped on the couch and stared at the ceiling…
Home sweet home…
A blue haired girl and a black haired girl were lying on the soft cold grass, staring at the sky; each of them was absorbed into their own thoughts.
The park was silent as it was 10 o'clock in the night and everyone had already left except the two girls who loved to hangout in the night, staring at the stars…
One girl had sky blue hair that ended till her shoulders and they were tied up in two pony tails. She had small hazel eyes and had a fair skin. She was wearing a light blue short skirt and a black sleeveless tank top.
The other girl had crystal white eyes and black short hair. She looked shy and gentle. She was wearing a baggy high neck T shirt and some pants.
"Hinata?" the blue haired girl said suddenly
"Yes," the black haired girl said now known as Hinata.
"Are you excited about tomorrow?" she asked, eagerly.
Hinata blinked and smiled.
"Yes, a little, school is going to start and stuff. We will be busy again right?" she said, turning looking at her friend.
The blue haired girl nodded.
Hinata sat up.
"Something wrong, Jen?" she asked, worriedly. Usually her friend would start yelling with excitement.
Jen sat up too.
"No, not really… it's the stars. They look strange… as they know something bad will happen," she said, pushing a few strands of hair behind her ear.
Hinata stared at her and then at the stars. Jen always had funny feelings and that's why she didn't have any friends. The truth was Hinata and Jen were best friends because Hinata was the only person that understood and then there was Blaire, she was also comforting.
"Its going to be fine, Jen," Hinata said, giving her friend a hug who hugged her back.
After a minute or so, they both got up and started for home.
"I wish there would be some good new students this year," Hinata said, eagerly
"Yeah, someone who will hit Sasuke's butt and stop his arrogant attitude," Jen said, excitedly almost as eagerly as Hinata although she meant it in a different way.
Hinata smiled.
"I wish tomorrow will come quickly, this summer was totally boring," Jen said, calming down after a bit.
"Do you think Blaire came back from her family vacation?" asked Hinata
Jen shrugged and kicked a stone that was lying in her path.
"We will see tomorrow," Jen said as she stopped in front of an ordinary two story house.
"Bye Hinata! I will see you tomorrow!" Jen shouted as she jumped over the fence and disappeared into the bushes.
Hinata smiled at her back and started walking towards her house which was only a couple of streets away.
Hinata turned the corner and bumped into someone and instantly fell on the ground. She felt pain gushed through her body but soon stopped. She looked up to see who she had bumped into and was surprised to see a blond boy at the time like this.
With the help of the little light thrown by the stars, Hinata finally recognized who it was and then scowled.
"Sorry, I didn't expect anybody to be out in a time like this…" he said and trailed off as he offered his hand to her.
Hinata scowled, it was obvious that he didn't recognize her.
Ignoring the hand, Hinata got up. The boy looked surprised but because of the little light of stars, he at last recognized her.
"Oh it's you," he said, his voice full of hatred.
Hinata shook her head, hopelessly.
"Yeah who do you expected?" she asked sarcastically.
The boy smirked and closed his eyes.
Hinata walked passed him.
"See you at school, Naruto," she said, emotionlessly.
Naruto stared at her back.
"See you there too," he whispered.
Hinata quickened her pace. After walking for five minutes, she reached her house. She jumped over the fence, moved noiselessly in the garden, then took hold of a bush and climbed it into her room.
Her parents didn't know that she was out at this hour especially when she had to go to school tomorrow.
Lying on her bed, Hinata rubbed her head as she remembered her meeting with Naruto, one of the most popular guys in school. She sighed and opened the draw of her side table and took out a frame. Switching on the lamp, she stared at the picture… a picture of her and Naruto in grade 3…
She and Naruto had been best friends for as long as she could remember and they were very close. Hinata even admitted to herself that she liked Naruto a little… or maybe a lot. But the thing was, her crush was over after grade 7… when they were graduated from the middle school to high school…
Naruto found new friends, he spend more time with them than her and when he did, he only talked about the stuff he did with his new friends… while Hinata on the other hand, didn't got any good friends, she was too shy and timid. Hinata felt angry at Naruto for leaving her and breaking their bond of friendship. It was the first time Hinata had ever argued with Naruto and Naruto was surprised too. He just stood their and listened, without saying a single word…
After that Hinata never talked to Naruto and it looked like Naruto didn't even care…
Bad company leads to bad influence.
Hinata rubbed her head trying to forget the thought. She looked at the picture…
They were on a tree, Hinata was sitting, blushing and Naruto was standing on the thick branch, laughing. They were 9 years old then. 'Good times' she thought
Putting back the picture into the drawer, Hinata kicked off her shoes and stretched. She shut the lamp and turned to get some sleep.
She remembered how she had met Jen… she was new and was in grade 8… nobody talked to her because she was new. There was a rule made by the popular guys in the school that no one was allowed to talk to new people… and Hinata having a grudge on Naruto did… and she was glad that she did. Jen Toucan was the most amazing girl in the whole world, she had a sixth sense… not she was abnormal or psychic. She was… amazing.
Hinata yawned and snuggled into her pillow before dozing off.
"MOM, I NEED TO GET SOME SLEEP FOR GOD'S SAKES!!! TOMORROW IS SCHOOL AND I ALREADY FEEL SICK!"
A fifteen year old girl shouted from the stairs as her mother as usual told her to unpack before going to bed.
She had soft red curly hair which ended up till her shoulders. Her eyes were bright green and had a fair skin but it was tanned because of the Hawaiian sun. She was wearing red shorts and a green top and she looked annoyed…
Her mother came from the kitchen, holding a fry pan in one hand and a cooking spoon in another…
"Now, Blaire… you don't need to shout. Why don't you eat something and then you can unpack tomorrow? I know we are all tired because of the journey back home but honey, have some patience," her mother said, gently, shaking her read hair.
Blaire sighed, helplessly.
"I am not hungry," she argued.
"Now, Blaire, not another word… come downstairs and eat," her mother said, sternly and disappeared into the kitchen again.
Scowling, Blaire went downstairs.
Naruto walked slowly towards his destination. He felt angry and lost, was it his fault that Hinata was being so rude? After all they were best friends until grade 7 and then she started ignoring Naruto without any reason… when Naruto tried to talk to her, she just looked bored and turned away.
Uttering a sigh, Naruto stopped in front of the huge mansion.
He just wanted a better life…and Hinata just went away.
He rang the bell and waited for the gate to open. After a minute or so, when it finally opened, he waked inside and into the huge oak doors.
He walked into the long corridor and opened the last door into the huge TV lounge where three boys were sitting.
Two of them greeted him with a nod but the other just ignored his presence.
"Hi guys, sorry I am late," Naruto said, cheerfully and sat down on one of the many couches.
His friends didn't reply. There were three boys, two of them lying upside down in front of the TV and playing play station.
And the other just sitting on the couch, looking bored.
The black haired boy, who had white crystal eyes and was wearing a high necked T shirt, cursed under his breath and threw the controller on the floor, annoyed.
"Your turn, Sasuke," he said
The boy sitting on the couch had raven black hair and charcoal black eyes. He was wearing a blue shirt… his name was Sasuke Uchiha, the most popular guy in school or in Earth as his family was quite famous.
"I don't waste my time playing stupid games, Neji," he said
Neji shrugged.
"Er, isn't school tomorrow?" Naruto asked, suddenly.
All three boys looked at him and nodded, quietly.
"CRAP!!! I FORGOT!!! I need to go! I am sorry, I will see you tomorrow," Naruto yelled, getting up and running out of the door.
Everyone rolled their eyes.
Same old Naruto.
"Shikamaru, will you PLEASE stop grinning? We know that you are good at stupid things like play station! So shut up!" Neji shouted angrily at the boy sitting next to him who also had black hair.
Shikamaru made a face.
"You are just jealous," he said, scowling.
Sasuke sighed...
People say life is a bed of roses, yes it is but the thing is, roses have thorns too.
