The final choice

Special thanks to madin456 for inspiring me to do this story!

It takes place in a high school. Don't own Naruto.

Enjoy. Probably 5-6 chapies.

Hinata's P.O.V:

I hope I wasn't late for my first hour in this new high school! I was incredibly glad my father let me go to a normal high school, instead of having private lessons at home. It was true I tended to be shy and introvert around other people, but I didn't mind their company. They minded sometimes my silence.

I entered the classroom hastily, not sure if I was or wasn't late. Oh, the teacher was already in the class… Not good.

"Hinata, right? Okay, have that seat near Kiba in the back of the class." the red-eyes woman told me. A murmur of surprise flashed through the class. Did I do something wrong? I took the seat that has been indicated to me near a boy with red fangs markings on his face. He was leaning on the wall near him, studying me from head to toes. I could feel my face getting hot. He was pretty, I had to admit it! I kinda liked him… I stood down and hid behind a book. He quit looking at me and turned his attention to the teacher.

"Okay, I'll assign you a few projects and they're due until Monday." she said and started pairing kids around the class after the catalogue. She got to my name.

"Hinata Hyuuga, you'll have the project named 'Love- a chemistry reaction' and your partner will be… umm… Eenie meenie manie mo, who's the winner of the show… Kiba!"

I turned to look at the guy next to me, who was looking bored at the teacher. He shifted his attention to me, and I could feel my face getting incredibly hot.

"After school at your place…" he said, winking at me.

Oh. My. Gawd. What did that mean? I completely didn't know what to think. How was my father going to react? I mean, he was very strict about boys… Even my eight years old sister Hanabi wasn't allowed to bring boys from her class home... Could I tell him he couldn't come?

"Uh… Ki-kiba-kun?"

"Yeah?"

I hesitated over the words. When I tried to tell them out loud – 'My father doesn't allow boys to come over' – I stopped and other words, completely opposite to the ones I meant – "Wait for me after school at the main gates…"

"Sure thing!"

Oh. My. Kami! The hottest guy in the class, world, universe and everywhere, the guy who everyone seemed to fear and respect, had to do a project with me, the shy girl who never stands out and is nice to everybody? Not likely.

But still I wasn't hallucinating. And the project was about love and attraction. I'm sure Fate laughs her butt off somewhere at my expense. Hard.

All day long I couldn't think of anything else. Kiba didn't speak to me during the classes, and in the breaks he'd stay only with his group of seriously good-looking guys- Shikamaru, known as the genius of the class (his head also reminded me of a pineapple), Neji had light eyes like mine, long hair and was said to be Tenten's boyfriend, there was an emo guy, Sasuke, with duck butt-like hairstyle and a fake dangerous and cool attitude, and the last was a creepy tall guy called Shino who wore a coat with a hood and sunglasses everywhere. Every time.

The girl in the class seemed nice, only a few stood out to me: Ino and Sakura who were the pretty ones to like Sasuke, Temari who was very smart though very snob, and Tenten, who'd hang out with guys mostly, but the only one who talked to me so far and I guess she's the nicest, though not very girly.

So overall I was doing what Father told me to– not stay in others' way.

The final ring marked the end of the class, and my heart jumped up a few kilometers. Everyone started leaving, so I went with the girls. Kiba was with his group of boys, plus Tenten who was tailing after Neji.

Half of me was praying he had forgotten he had to do the project with me, and the other half was hoping he remembered.

So I stood in front of the high school's main gates to see him parting away from the guys and coming straight towards me. Oh teh noes! and Yeah! in the same time!

"Lead the way…" he said, looking everywhere but at me.

I took the way to my mansion halfheartedly. I was praying to whatever deity would listen to me that my father was staying overnight at work, much like he usually did every Monday.

I heard a small 'wow' from Kiba when I reached my house. Yeah, big and rich. Father had money… I unlocked the door hastily and entered to find Hanabi, my little sister, playing with her dolls in the living.

"Is dad coming this evening home?" I asked, crossing my fingers.

"Nope. He said he ain't coming for two days and doesn't know for sure if he'll come on Wednesday either. "

"Okay. I have to do a project for school, so I'll be upstairs. You can call someone, but not the whole class. Only your best friend."

" 'Kay." Hanabi said and walked silently to the phone. I motioned Kiba in the direction of my bedroom, amazed by how calm I felt.

He entered, looked around at my lavender-colored stuff and plushies, then lounged on the bed, looking expectantly at me:

"So, where do we start?"

That's it, ppl.

Any thoughts?
