one - half of my heart.

A/N; Don't own Naruto Shippuden or any of the characters, just the plot. Although I wish I did … I don't.

E N J O Y ! !

Hinata walked out the front door. Piece of crap if you ask me. She thought. She was a bit late. But by the way Neji drove, they were there 8 minutes before the bell. Hinata wore a plain black t-shirt that hugged her body perfectly, and purple skinny jeans with her white chucks. Wasn't much but she got a few stares. Great, just what the new kid needs. To enter school in the middle of the semester and have everyone stare at her. Guys lusting. Girls being jealous. Hinata gave them all a man-eating smile. Neji frowned at the guy friendly attention.

"I don't like this, Hina." Neji muttered.

"Seems like it's going to be an interesting year. Us being Juniors. Hinabi being a freshman. You being the over-protective brother, as you are. Man, there are a lot of cute guys. Remind me why I spent my time in New Zealand when I could've got it in with-"

"HINA!" Neji sighed with relief that Hinata didn't finish that sentence. A blonde ran to Hinata and gave her a hug. She was just how Hinata remembered. Blonde. Pretty. Slim, and over excited. And loud. She hugged the blonde back. God, I did miss this chick. Hinata thought.

"Hey, Ino." She said smoothly. "I missed you."

Ino let go of Hinata and stared into her eyes. "Looks to me like the lavender in your eyes have gotten darker." Ino stepped back and looked Hinata up and down. "Everything's changed. You look more … sexy, and emo, but veeeeeery sexy." Hinata saw Neji frown from the corner of his eye.

"Hina-" Neji began but Hinata cut him off.

"Neji, I'm just trying to piss you off. All in all I really hate this attention. Back in New Zealand I was kind of mocked 'cos of my emo style, I liked it that way. Made me realize my true friends there. Here .." She huffed. "Here is different. Maybe, I'm going to have to start dressing like a slut." Hinata shrugged. As she said that a girl with bubblegum pink hair walked in. Short skirt. Low cut singlet. Stilettos. Everything Hinata avoided in a person.

"Actually, I take that back, Neji. Emo's good." Hinata sighed. Mental Note; Stay away from her.

"Hn." Neji replied and walked off. Leaving her and Ino to catch up.

"So … what's Neji's social status around here?" Hinata couldn't help but ask.

"Jock." Ino shrugged. "He's pretty hot. He's pretty much wanted by most of the chicks at school. He's mean and lean … but suuuper sexy." Ino laughed as they walked towards their chemistry class.

"Ew." Hinata replied. Sure he's good looking, but he's my brother.

"You're probably one of the few who would say that about Neji." Ino mused.

"That's because he's my brother, Ino."

"Whatever. So, tell me about New Zealand. Any hot guys?" Ino eagerly asked.

"Yeah. The place was full of them. I'm so glad father sent me there for a couple years when I was younger. Sure, I missed you, Hinabi and Neji, but it was such a great experience." She smiled at the thoughts.

"Anything else interesting happen?" Ino smile. May as well tell her. She is, of course, my best friend. Hinata can trust her with anything. Even the most craziest but pleasurable moment of her life.

"Actually. It was last year …" She dropped her voice to a whisper. "I, ah, lost my … virginity." I looked around nervously.

"OH MY FUCKING GAWD!" Ino exclaimed. Hinata looked around and covered Ino's mouth with her hand.

"Shut the fuck up!" She muttered to her best friend. Everyone was staring at the pair now.

"Oh shit. Sorry." Ino shrugged. "You lost your virginity." She whispered to Hinata and Hinata nodded. "To who?"

"This blonde guy named Chris. He wasn't exactly my boyfriend. We liked each other. Then one thing led to another, and I lost my virginity. Probably the best night on my life." Hinata laughed.

"Slut." Ino nudged Hinata. "Did you do it again?"

"That story's for another time, Ino." Hinata kept walking. Ino stopped dead in her tracks lost in thought. Then she snapped out of it.

"Slut!" Ino repeated and Hinata couldn't help but laugh as well.

Chemistry couldn't go any slower. Hinata was still getting those lustful and jealousy looks as she sat in the back of the class writing notes. She was pretty sure she was the only emo in the class. She didn't notice the angry guy sitting on the other side of class staring intensely at her. Trying to figure her out. She looked different. Kind but badass. A hot badass. Yamato-Sensei was teaching something that Hinata didn't bother to listen to. She already knew that she'd pass the class anyway, and then the bell rand for 2nd period, which was P.E.

Easiest subject out there. Watch me thrash you all. Hinata thought. Hinata changed into her Canterbury shorts she fell in love with while in New Zealand, she changed her top and put on a black singlet and brought out her breast in the politest way. (A/N: if there's a polite way.) And just like she assumed, they were running laps. Hinata stayed in the same composure the whole time. Listening to music from her iPod touch.

Oh, baby, please don't leave me now. Kiss me 'till the sun goes down

Please don't leave me now. Kiss me 'till the sun goes down.

Hinata admitted that she did enjoy Kiwi (New Zealand) music. There's was just a vibe about it. It was so real, and unlike other music these days … it wasn't mainstream. She really loved the music. She was over lapping the kids that were the slowest and slowly catching up to the crowd that was going at 'normal' speed. Her and Neji were the ones ahead of the class, but Hinata was further ahead of Neji. She smirked. Finally something she could beat Neji at. She slowed down so that Neji and her were running at the same speed. As they entered their second to last lap around the school field , she spoke to Neji barely sounding like she was puffed. If she was tired and struggling, she was damn good a hiding it.

"Give you a race? One and a half laps to go. Loser does the winner's chores for a week." Hinata purposed.

Neji simply nodded and they set off. Hinata in front for the rest of that lap and then Neji came up and was at the same speed. The he was in front. Hinata pressed her lips together. She was beginning to sweat and she hated that. As they entered their last lap it was all about the sprinting. They were at the same speed the whole way. Then the last 10 meters, Hinata's breathing was becoming more uneven but she refused to let Neji win. She pushed herself to go faster and in the end they both couldn't tell who won. It was just too damn close that when she asked Asuma-Sensei who the winner was, he couldn't tell either.

"Fuck" Hinata muttered and lay down on the cool grass to catch her breath. They called it a tie.

Hinata walked to the changing room to change back into her normal clothes. Completely oblivious to the fact that everyone was staring at her in amazement and that she gained the title of 'Every Guy's Dream Girl' in just 2 periods. Neji wasn't pleased with all the stares Hinata's butt was getting.

Thank God it's interval now. Hinata sighed with relief as the bell rang. She walked out of the changing rooms and went to her locker. Locker … 124. Ah, found it. She took out her key, opened the locker and stuffed all her belongings in there and went to find Ino.

"New girl!" Someone called out in a way that would send shivers down a shy girl with a stutter's spine. Good thing Hinata wasn't a shy girl with a stutter anymore. Hinata whipped around to see who called her. Hinata figured the random was talking to her. She saw the bubblegum pink haired girl walk towards her. Her stilettos making noise in the corridor. I new she was going to approach me. I just knew it. Great. Strawberry gum. Yuck. Hinata tried to look polite and smiled. When really she just wanted to ignore her and walk away. The girl stood in front of Hinata just an inch taller but if she wasn't in her pretty stilettos strawberry bubblegum would be shorter than.

"Hi." Hinata greeted cheerfully with a hit of sarcasm.

"Shut it. Only one rule around here. I rule the school. If you do anything to disrespect me, I'll make sure that your stay in Konoha is a living hell." She smiled bitterly.

Oh wow, my instincts were right. "You really are a bitch." Hinata said as the girl began to walk away. She stopped dead in her tracks and turned around swiftly to glare at Hinata.

"Oh, I'm sorry?"

"Yeah. You should be sorry, girly. Your 'rules' are nothing but a piece of shit made up by a spoilt brat who gets what she wants." I shot at her.

"I am Sakura Haruno," She began to gloat. Oh, no. this is where she tells me about how rich her family is. Blah Blah Blah, massive empire. "My family-" I then cut her off.

"I don't give a fuck about your family, Sakura." I noticed that a small crowed was beginning to form around us and Ino was behind them. Watching me in amusement … and Neji. "I'm Hinata Hyuga." Sakura looked at Hinata in shock then at Neji. She gave her a this-isn't-over look and walked away.

Oh hell, made an enemy on my very first day. Quick glace at the girls the followed Sakura out. Correction; Enemies.

Ino introduced Hinata to her bunch of friends; Tenten, a pretty girl who doesn't talk much, but has loads to say. Temari, a chick who's straight forward and always speaks her mind. Kiba, a cute kid who carries a cute dog with him on his head. The she pointed out the category of groups.

Jocks: Neji Hyuga, the muscular meanie who is really a big softie when he wants to be. Shino Aburame, a quite 'nobody' with a sense of humour no one gets to see. Shikamaru Nara, a lazy, sleepy guy who always looks bored and out of his mind when really he's just planning his next jump. Sasori Akasuna, a read head softie who really just wants to be loved. Gaara, a read headed emotionless fighting machine … super badass. (A/N: And Gaara's last name is …?)

Skanks/Popular Chicks: Sakura Haruno, bubblegum headed bitch. Karin, red head who follows Sakura everywhere just to get to Sasuke Uchiha. Konan, purple headed pretty weirdo. Rin, plain Rin, hates Sakura, hangs round cos she has this weird crush on Kakashi-Sensei and Sakura is his favourite student.

Serious Badasses: Hidan, super sexy body, breaks hearts, breaks school property, breaks bones. Itachi Uchiha, emo sexy muscular guy, Sasuke's brother. Deidara, blonde guy with the nice smile. Pain, scary, very scary, with his nose piercing.

Popular Badasses; Sasuke Uchiha, the silent black haired emo that doesn't smile. Naruto Uzumaki, the over joyous blonde that so full of spirit :D

Shit Stirrers; Choji Akimichi, the over-weight guy always holding food and looks like he's wearing underwear on his head. Rock Lee, complete wannabe, stirring shit for fun, being a teacher's pet because Gai's the only real role model in his life. Kankuro; major flirt, always trying to get it in. They're all a future fail.

Loner; Sai … cute smile, cute everything.

"Cute everything?" Hinata smirked. "I'm sensing someone's got a little crush on a certain 'loner'"

"Well, everyone's in love with Sasuke and I just don't feel that vibe. I guess I have a soft spot for loners." Ino teased. Yes, Hinata was a little bit of a loner when they first meet, and Hinata would still call her self a bit of a loner. She's anti-social but easy to make friends with. Funny and sarcastic but the funny side is the side you don't often see. The sarcastic side on the other hand … :D

"Hn." He was pretty cute, but Hinata was looking for anything. Really, she just wanted to pass Junior year and go on to be a Senior. Sure, there'd be little school girl crushes and hook ups in the changing rooms, but Hinata wasn't the serious type of person. She fooled around. She wasn't in it for the long hold. Commitment issues? She didn't know, but she is fine just the way she is. Or am I? Hinata finished eating her apple and made her way to English. The only class that made her stand up and introduce herself. Again, she had that same emo boy from Chemistry glare daggers into her.

What's so special about her? Yeah, she's hot but that's it. Noting special. Sasuke thought. He was sitting at the back watching Kakashi-Sensei look her up and down like the pervert he is. Something about her made him want to … get closer to her. Then Kakashi-Sensei made her sit in the only seat that was available … beside Sasuke Uchiha. Hinata rolled her eyes at the jealous looks the girls gave her.

What's so special about Uchiha anyways? Sure, he good looking and has that bad boy look, The look Hinata looks for in a guy. But something about him makes me want to stay away from him. Or get closer to him. As it was mentioned, Hinata isn't big on commitment so if she was to be with someone where would be on falling in love. Or strings attached. It'd be all free.

As she took her seat, she didn't say a word to him. She just did her work. Then they had to partner up and explain to each other something about Romeo and Juliet. Hinata didn't care much for Romeo and Juliet. She wasn't someone who believed in love. It was all a bunch of mumbo jumbo to her.

"Well, I think…" Sasuke began.

"It's a piece of shit?" Hinata guessed. "Yeah, me too." She smiled.

Sasuke was take back a little bit. "What makes you think that?"

"Love. Who does all the crap they do for love? I wouldn't, and this play is supposed to relate to most teens these days, when really people would be too much of a coward to do the shit Romeo and Juliet did. People are too big on their image, and who's to say that their maturity level was the same as ours. Juliet was 14 and Romeo, 17. The would've 'thought' they know love, when really, like most teen, it was them going through their rebellion stages." Hinata spoke with passion. Kind of like the rebellion I'm going through … sort of.

"You speak wise words, Hinata." A voice that wasn't Sasuke's came in front of her. She looked up to see Kakashi-Sensei with a proud look in his eyes. "Not everyone likes the play but very few can explain why they don't like it. You're good. I have a feeling you'll do well in this class." Kakashi-Sensei smiled and then walked away.

"Hn. If you feel that way about the play … how do you feel about … love?" Sasuke asked and Hinata focused her attention on him.

"Non-existent in my book. If I was to describe it in one word it would be … fail." Hinata smiled at Sasuke. "Wasn't expecting me to say that, huh? Well, what do you think about it?"

"Waste of time." Was all he replied with.

A/N: Hey, thanks for reading eh. Hope you really enjoyed it :D I enjoyed writing it. So, review please. And I'll be up with the next chapter real soon. Its my first fan fiction and I've been wanting to write one for a while and then my mate J.Z introduced me to Naruto and I instantly fell in love with it. (: On the names of the chapters don't really go with what the actual chapter is about, they are just names of songs.. This chapter is Half Of My Heart - John Meyer ft. Taylor Swift. Oh, and the song that Hinata listened to while in Gym class is Sun Goes Down - Nesian Mystik . Yeah, I'm from New Zealand, and if you look up the song on Youtube, I know that you wont regret it. They really are great. I grew up listening to them and they just split a few months ago but you know how music is … lives on. Thanks again for reading this chapter. I'm really just coasting along. I cant spoil it because I don't even know what's going to happen next. I don't even know how Hinata and Sasuke are supposed to get together. :D but hopefully it'll all work out. :D Ciao. xox
