The day was running smoothly well normal as every other day that went by in Hinata's life. She was always shy around other people, which sometimes came in handy considering in the mornings she only had to say hi to two people her bestfriends Temari and TenTen.
They understood her more than her family. They knew all her secrets. She opened up to them and they didn't hurt her or laugh when she did. They complimented her poems, her songs, and her stories she wrote. They understood the true meanings of the words she wrote down on the pages throughout the dozens ofnotebooks she had. They did and Hinata knew that nobody else could ever get her like they did.
Also what other friends wouldn't laugh when Hinata let out the big secret.
Who she was crushing on!
Naruto Uzumaki.
-Really Hinata? him? why?" Temari asked. Hinata loved it that they always asked her why instead of just thinking it was horrible they always wanted to get to know her oppinion. "I dont know Temari he's just the way i would have liked to been if I could start over." Hinata answered. "Do you love him?" Ten Ten asked getting closer to her, it was almost intimadating the expression on her face. If they hadn't been friends Hinata would have run away right then and there. It was just the school morning, nobody could notice them or hear them talk. Right? Wrong!
"HINATA!"
"ahh?!" Hinata jumped as her backflash gets interrupted by her best friend TenTen who was probably trying to get her attention for the last minutes of the school morning. "It'll be okay i'm sure she won't try anything sneaky."
"That's right she wont I'll break in half for you Hinata. Stupid pink haired little flat chested twig! I'm gonna attack he-" Temari went off but got interrupted by Hinata now.
"No Temari that's not right! I'm sure Sakura is a nice girl and she wont use the knowledge she knows now against me-"
"Not just against you Hinata its against us." TenTen said.
It was horrible just one day Hinata told her friends and Sakura had to just happenly over hear her. Sakura just happened to find out. Sakura who was Naruto's friend. She had just come up to them all and given poor Hinata the letter. Hinata regreted it now, she regreted stopping Temari from playing football that morning, she regreted telling them out in the open. why couldn't she just invite them? why couldn't she just keep her secret? why couldn't she go back to yesterday?
The letter was still unfolded in Hinata's shaking hand. Temari held Hinata's shoulders trying to shake the life back into her friend. "Hinata?..Hinata?! Oh God she's DEAD!" TenTen screamed. "TenTen i'm not dead!" Hinata said trying to calm her friend "I'm just thinking." "about what?"
Hinata looked around for a second her eyes looked at the far away corner were Sakura was with the popular kids, along with Naruto. It pained her that her and him were in such different worlds. Like it wasn't supposed to be, she stopped that thought again, like every other time it started coming to her head. She uncrumpled the paper and reread the note.
HaHa Hinata Hyuuga!
I know your secret which is a pretty interesting secret.
seriously Naruto!!!
my friend or as he likes it BEST friend!
i wonder what i should do with this information.
well whatever it's your lucky day,
you'll be on hold right now because i have a bunch of other people i need to destroy their lives.
anyways i shouldn't really write to nerds,
bad carma but i'm sure you dont even belong with nerds
you don't belong anywhere.
so bye Hinata!
i hope you have sweet dreams, if you can now!
No matter Hinata had fury inside her so much of it that she didn't know where it came from and her friends saw this, And they liked this part of Hinata, it meant she wouldnt let sakura do anything stupid with her secret.

The social studies class was about to end. Hinata had to run, Naruto's class was right next to hers right now and sakura was in there with him. Had Sakura told him already? No matter Hinata would run fast to her locker in the third floor and back down to lunch. One problem Naruto and Sakura's next class was across from her locker. Hinata would be lonely at lunch today, Temari and TenTen would have that same class with Naruto and Sakura they would keep an eye on that pink haired which. Maybe a lonely lunch was good today, after all Hinata wanted to sort out her feelings.
The bell rang and Hinata wasn't prepared she threw her stuff in her backpack and closed it. TenTen and Temari had this class with her and they were moving her threw the crowd to get to the door. they all ran past the crowd and through the hallway, up six flights of stairs and finally to the third floor.
They were panting by the time they got up there. Hinata rushed to her locker and TenTen and Temari went in the classroom. Naruto was in there already he must have been faster than them. Hinata kept repeating her locker combination, it was times like this she was glad she had decided to share lockers with TenTen. Hinata went in the classroom and passed right by Naruto, she grabbed for TenTen but missed.
"TenTen the locker! TenTen!" she tried calling she didn't want to drag attention. "hey TenTen!" Hinata called again. The classroom was loud compared to Hinatas voice. "Hey! TenTen."
"TenTen. TenTen." Sakura mocked.
TenTen came by "what is it Hinata, what are you doing here?" Hinata breathed. "the locker it's jammed again!" And with that TenTen ran out to open Hinata and hers locker. Hinata finally relaxed and started walking more slower out towards the door, just two feet away someone grabbed her arm very strongly. Hinata was scared to look to see who it was, she couldnt break free. Hinata turned slowly. " Hi there!" the blonde kid smirked but then stopped and smiled at the small fragile thing he had captured. Hinata felt her face burn.
"what's your name and why are you here? i dont have any classes with you do i? you wanna talk?"
"her name is Hinata and no she doesn't wanna talk to you!" Temari butted in. Hinata couldnt be more thankful to her friend.
Naruto let go on his grip.
Hinatas feet hesistated. "Hey the lockers opened." TenTen came in and dragged Hinata out of there.

Hinata was quiet at lunch, she had a table all to herself and she needed that all that room just for her thoughts.
She nibbled some of her sandwich and placed it back down on the paper bag. The sandwich her mom had made her this morning that had looked so good she had wanted two now look like it wouldn't stay down there in her stomache. What did Sakura do?
She drank some of her juice pouch through the straw.
Her mind was so messed up that she hadn't really eaten half of her sandwich and her yogurt was still in the paper bag. Hinata felt horrified, Naruto, he was still Naruto right? Sakura can't change him? Sakura? The name could make babies cry out for their mommies and daddies. She gives cherry blossom a whole new meaning that girl why would she wanna destroy my life anyway? I didnt do anything to her. She's trouble i can smell it.
Hinata sipped some more juice to keep her mouth cool, it was burning hot, she stuffed her mouth again with the sandwich. she tasted nothing from it not one of the flavors. She took out the yogurt from her bag. She opened it and took a spoonful, it reminded her of trouble. She read the front, Cherry Flavor, "figures."
"Trouble smells just like cherries."
Shep dropped the yogurt back in the bag and focused again on the sandwich.
"Tommorrow I'll come late so that I wont see Sakura outside before school!"
She looked around in the lunch room. Everyone had atleast two people to sit with and no one was alone. Hinata was always alone in this lunch and she hated it. She never admitted that outside of herself and nobody knew. "Maybe everybody should have been ignorant about my crush on Naruto too." she thought outloud.
The last three bites of the sandwich were hard for Hinata to swallow, her skin was warm she felt dizzy and lunch would be over soon.
Finally.
