Heaven
Chapter 1
Hinata Hyuga was the most popular girl in school, the captain of the cheerleading squad, student body president and all around role model. She was the perfect girl and everyone loved her. She was strolling down the busy corridor of Konoho high, smiling and waving to people as she passed.
An ear piercing screech could be heard coming down the hall and stopped in front of her in a pink blur. Sakura, her best friend, skidded to a stop and hugged her while still bouncing. "Have you heard?"
"What?" Hinata tried to pull her arm from the death grip Sakura had on her, but gave up on the unsuccessful tugs, "Tell me."
"They've just revealed what the senior class trip is going to be!!"
"Really?" Every year the senior class went on a big trip and the location was only revealed two week prior to departure. "So are you going to tell me or are you going to stand there all day?"
"Okay, okay, hang on I was just getting to the point until someone… interrupted me!!" Sakura gave a small glare at Hinata but knowing it was just a joke.
"Well they've decided to take us to……"
"Take us where…?"
"On a Caribbean cruise!"
"Oh my god!! Really!!"
Hinata and Sakura grabbed onto each other and bounced around, squealing with delight at the top of their lungs. The decibel level of the two screams nearly levelled the hall making near by students hold and cover their ears. Luckily for them they soon stopped after getting glares to quieten down with the vocals.
"Oooo, I really can't believe this! Can you?"
"No I'm still trying to get over the shock, do you know what this means right?" Sakura gave an evil grin at Hinata.
"Oh no, you're not thinking what I think your thinking!" Hinata started backing off knowing very well what Sakura was thinking.
"Yea that's right, SHOPPING TIME!"
-------
The day couldn't have dragged on any slower for Hinata. By the time chemistry came, her last class of the day, she thought she was going to scream in frustration. At lunch the girls decided to get together after school and head to the mall to pick out some new bathing suits and whatever else they might need on the trip. And let's just say the thought of shopping felt more appealing to balanced equation. But she knew when the girls dragged her out shopping; she would be purchasing the most revealing outfits she would have ever bought.
The bell rang.
In a calm mannered way Hinata left her chemistry class knowing that her torture was about to begin. She knew wearing nice clothes, having nice hair, makeup etc... Was part of being popular, but some days she felt like putting aside all the glamour and start being herself. She walked out of the sober brick buildings. "Well then shall we go Ladies?"
Ino nodded enthusiastically "Hell yea, come on we got to go and get them bikinis before other girls get them!" she started pulling Hinata towards the direction of the mall, Hinata sigh but then she held her head high and walked to the mall with a smile on her face, 'Heck what's a few hours of shopping going to do?"
-----
Hinata fell on a chair exhausted with her feet red and sore, 'That is the last time I'm going shopping with them again!' She slowly got up and they filed out of the air-conditioned mall and cringed at going back out to the heat and humidity outside. Unfortunately for them, they glanced at their ride and sigh, the bus was overcrowded and the air conditioner look like it wasn't working. 'At least I'll be able to get home!"
"Hey Hinata!"
Hinata looked over to where the voice had come from. Naruto Uzumaki, her oldest friend ran over. They'd known each other for as long as she could remember. Tall and handsome is the way you could describe him. Well to Hinata she thought he was handsome and had a long time crush on him. In his hurry to get to them he trip over the feet of a couple seated on a bench. Stumbling he caught himself before he fell face first and continued over, tossing an apology over his shoulder.
Tenten elbowed Hinata, "Hey look who's coming, its your lover boy."
"Shhh, shut up Tenten! He might hear you!" Hinata blushed as Naruto skidded to a halt in front of them.
"Hey girls!" Naruto ran his hand through his blonde mop of hair and straightened his shoulders. He smiled warmly at the girls "Hey did you hear about the cruise? I can't wait, neither can the guys! Its going to be wicked!"
The girls rolled their eyes but laughed at Naruto's funny expression
Hinata was about to reply back, but Sakura butted in asking "Is Sasuke defiantly coming and is he going to be wearing his swim shorts??"
Naruto rubbed the back of his head knowing perfectly well he was going to be bombarded by questions from the girls knowing if their so called crush is going to be there. "Yes all the boys are going to be there and yes they are all going to be wearing their swim shorts!"
The girls faced lit up like Christmas lights and started blushing knowing they would see their crushes without a shirt on.
Hinata laughed at them knowing what they were thinking. She looked over at Naruto and caught her breath as the sun was hitting onto his face at a right angle making him even more handsome. "So are you all packed and ready?"
"Dam right I am, its going to be the best field trip of the year!"
"Hehe, don't forget about your sun cream, you do remember the last time you forgot?" Hinata giggled from the funny picture she had of Naruto sunburned last year.
"Hehe yea thanks Hinata, you're a life saver otherwise I would probably look like a tomato again like last year!" he laughed embarrassingly trying to rub off the blush on his face.
"Come on Hinata, we got to go more shopping!"
"What we've just been shopping! I'm defiantly not going back to that hell hole!"
"Hinata come on, didn't you hear all the boys are going and if we don't get some nicer clothes then they are going to run off with sum blonde twit!!"
"Hey I'm blonde!" Ino stuck her tongue at Sakura.
"Hehe I didn't mean you, no offence to any blondes!" Sakura started muttering apologies to Ino, knowing very well Ino can get a right strop.
"Haha, I'm only messing with you Sakura, I knew you didn't mean it literally." Sakura let out a sigh letting her shoulders relax.
"So are we going shopping then or what?" Tenten had already dragged Temari back to the mall.
"Okay okay, come on Hinata!" Sakura dragged Hinata away from Naruto as she was about to tell him not to forget anything.
"Oh, okay I'll see you later Hinata"
"Bye Naruto," Hinata waved at him over her shoulder and let the girls steer her into Topshop. "Do we really have to go shopping!"
The girls all screamed at once "YES!!"
----
The girls agreed and the rest of the day was spent talking about clothes and boys and dreaming about what the trip was going to be like.
Two hours later the girls walked through the emptying mall toward the exit, loaded with bags and bags of new 'cruise' clothes, lotions and makeup.
"Finally, time to get home and rest my feet!" Hinata felt exhausted and just wanted to go and sleep and dream of Naruto in bed with her doing……
'eek, what was I thinking then!"
Giggling and laughing they walked out into the darkening parking lot, ready to get on the next bus.
"Hey! Need a lift?" Naruto pulled up alongside the curb in his new Ford.
The girls all gave each other a glance "Umm, sorry we can't Naruto we're all going in different directions... but Hinata wouldn't mind a lift coz she's heading the same way as you anyway, isn't that right Hinata?" all the girls gave Hinata an amuse stare and pushed her lightly towards the car.
"Yea sure why not Naruto, I really can't be bothered to wait for the bus." Hinata gave the girls a death glare knowing they had did this on purpose.
She got into the car and then droved off to Hinata's home. She could just make out some of her friends giggling in the distance. 'Oooo they are so dead…but at least I'm in the car alone with Naruto!"
"Thanks Naruto, it's really great for you to give me a ride." She gave him a smile.
He merely shrugged. "What are friends are for right?" Naruto guided the car easily onto the onramp and into the stream of traffic. "So have a good day shopping?" He jerked his thumb at the pile of bags in the back seat.
"Yeah. It's wasn't bad but it was kind of fun buying all these nice clothes!"
Naruto just shook his head "I don't get it why women love shopping so much!"
"I know. For women, shopping is almost therapeutic, while for men it's more like a torture session."
"You got that right." He pulled up to a great mansion gate waving at the guard at the front, they let them in with a wave and a smile. "Well, here we go."
"Thanks again Naruto. Talk to you later ok?" Hinata struggled to get the bags together while at the same time tried to fish her keys out of her pocket.
"Hold on." He quickly got out of the car and pulled some of the bags out of the back. "Here let me help you."
"Thanks." He is such a gentleman. She unlocked the door and walked in closely followed by Naruto.
"Hello sweetie" Hiashi Hyuga walked into the kitchen from his office. "Did you have a nice time shopping?"
"Hi daddy, yea the girls dragged me along again!" she gave her a dad a peck on the cheek.
"Naruto, ahh I see Hinata been dragging you along to be her personal bag carrier again." Hiashi laughed and gave Naruto a wink.
"No sir just gave her a ride back and you know me I am a gentleman that like to help a damsel in distress!" Hinata rolled her eyes and gave Naruto a small nudge. Hiashi laughed at the two of them 'they sure make a great couple'
Hinata took her portion and placed it in her bedroom while Naruto took his portion and placed it next it to the others.
"Well I'll better be going now,"
"Yea it's getting late. I'll walk you to the door." The phone started ringing as they got to the door. "I'll see you in English tomorrow okay."
"Yeah, oh do you remember what work we were supposed to do for tomorrow?"
"Yeah--" She was cut off by her father's voice
"Hinata, Sakura is on the phone."
"Okay, I'll see you tomorrow Naruto, Bye." She waved till he was out of site and picked the phone, but was immediately bombard with questions from her best friend.
'Sigh, this was going to be a long night.'
