The Elsinatr: This is my 2nd fanfic, folks.

(Summary: Same old Konoha Academy thing. I like writing stuff like that)

Chapter 1: New Friends

Hinata shuffled her feet nervously in the waiting room. Tsunade's voice comes out of the office.

"You may come in, Hinata."

"H-Hai, Tsunade-sama."

Tsunade was working on some paperwork. "Well, here's a map of the school. If you need any help, just ask Kakashi-san over here. He's our English teacher in this school."

Hinata felt relieved. She wouldn't be trying to find her way through the school alone!

"W-where is my dorm, Tsunade-sama?"

"You'll be in the clan dorm, sharing an apartment with your fellow Hyuugas."

"Thank you, Tsunade-sama."

"Yeah, whatever squirt." She mumbled, draining her bottle of sake.

****

Hinata made her way to her new class. Kakashi had given her his handy color-coded map, since the one Tsunade gave her was very difficult. It looked like she spilled sake all over it.

'Thank you, Kakashi-sensei' she thought silently.

She knocked softly on the door. A man with long white hair answered it.

"Well, hello there cutie!"goggled her homeroom teacher, Jiraiya.

"H-hello." Jiraiya-sensei ushered her into her new classroom. People were ogling her and making her nervous. Four boys wearing weird armbands stared intently at the newcomer. A couple of creepy kids in another corner with weird hoodies were motioning her to join them. Hinata settled on choosing a seat next to the most normal (and friendly) girl, albeit her pink hair.

"C-can I sit w-with you?"

"Anytime." The girl made room.

"My name is Haruno Sakura. My friend with the long ponytail is Ino. "

"M-my name is Hinata." The Hyuuga replied shyly.

Sakura looked at her. 'Even though she wears those dorky glasses, she still looks cute. I bet I know whats going on in all of the boys' heads right now'

"C-can you explain thing I-I should know about th-this school, Sakura-ch-chan?" asked Hinata timidly.

"Oh." Sakur snapped out of her reverie. "Well there are 4 ranks in the school. They are: Paper, Bronze, Silver and Gold. Since you're new, you're a bronze like me and Ino. Those two groups of people there in the corner," she indicated with her head, "are in the gold rank. We never talk to them unless they talk to us. And if they do, we address them as "sama" and then bow on occasion. Don't look at them dir-" Sakura looked at her companion.

"HINATA!!"

Sakura had caught her staring at one of the boys in the corner. He had blonde hair, blue eyes and had a look of courage on his face. Hinata liked looking at him. The blonde teen realized that Hinata was staring. He motioned to his comrades.

"Yes, S-sakura?"

"STOP STARING AT NARUTO-SAMA!!" she muttered angrily in her ear. "Do you want to become a reject?"

"G-gomen." Sakura sighed. The bell rang.

"Time for science, Hinata-chan."
