This is my first fanfiction story. I don't know how it will turn out, but we'll see. It's SasuHina, so if you don't like it, don't bother reading it. Personally I love that couple. I would really like it if you could leave me a review and let me know what you think. Thanks.

I don't own the anime "Naruto", the characters, or fanfiction. I own a computer and imagination, and below is the result of that.


My Best Friend's Girl

Awkward. There are many words I could have used to describe the scene in front of me, but 'awkward' was the first word that came to my mind. It was all a little confusing to me- and admitting that it's confusing is what really confuses me.

Most things come easy to me. I'm a smart guy, or, I thought I was a smart guy. School comes easy to me, sports and work too. I'm not so good when it comes to being social. Or, I guess that depends on the situation. I'm a true genius when it comes to words, I can twist them all around my finger by choosing the right words and saying it the right way. Teachers, coaches, my boss, and other adults if needed. My social life at school is rather different though. I have a few friends, and sure, I guess I like being around them, but I don't mind being alone. I don't mind sitting alone and listen to music or reading a good book. What I do mind however, is communicating with people I have no interest in talking to. I easily get annoyed when people- mostly girls, sit down next to me and disturb me with stupid questions like "What are you up to?" or "Do you mind if I sit here?". If I'm staring into pages of text, I'm obviously reading. No, I wouldn't mind if you sit down, but I would mind sitting here with you, therefore I'll find another place to sit if you take the place next to me, thank you.

I'm not oblivious, like some of my few friends. I can tell when girls are trying to flirt, or ask me out. I just don't get why, it's not like they even know me. My locker gets filled up with letters from girls. 'Fan letters', 'love letters', or 'confession letters'. I don't really know what to call them, but I know for a fact that they are all filled with the same bullshit, and that I don't want to waste my time reading through them.

To be honest, I have no interest in girls. This being said, I have no interest in guys either, although some people seem to have that opinion. I don't blame them, I guess. I'm 17 years old and I've never kissed a girl. I've had girls throw themselves at me since I was a small boy, but I've never actually wanted physical contact with a girl. My mom is the closest I've ever been to the female species, and she passed away when I was young, I can't even remember her that well anymore. It's almost sad. However, I'm very interested in books. I've read a few books with a major focus on romance. 'Love' isn't for me. I will never be romantic, and I'll never fall in love with a girl- hell, I'll never be able to think of girls as anything else than annoying and disgusting.

That's what I thought. Until I met her.


My alarm went off at 07:00. The noise it makes when it goes off is horrible. It makes my ears bleed so I always jump straight out of bed in order to turn it off as fast as possible. It was standing on my desk, across the room from my bed. It's more common to have it standing on the night table, but that doesn't work out too well for me. If it goes off close to me, I'll just smash it with my fist and continue sleeping. However, if I actually have to stand up and rush over to turn it off, then I'm already up and awake and the horrid machine with the fucking sound that rapes my ears doesn't have to be smashed- and it will wake me up for school the next day too.

After I had turned it off, I picked up some clothes from my chair and took it with me into the bathroom. I stepped into the shower and stood there under the hot water for a while. It was school today. It was the first day back after the summer holiday. My second school semester at Konoha High School was starting, although there were a few differences from last year's semester. First year is pretty much the same for all students, but the second year divides the students much more. We get to choose what subjects to focus on, instead of the package with subjects we all have to learn from 1st to 11th grade. Starting my 12th year in school now, I've chosen the international focus, in other words, a LOT of English. My friends from school, mainly Naruto, Kiba and Shikamaru, are also taking this course, but I'm not sure who else I will be getting as 'class mates'. I turned the water off and used one of the nearby towels to wipe the water of my body, before changing into my clothes. Plain jeans, a gray t-shirt and a navy hoodie. I ate some cereal downstairs in the kitchen, watched TV for about 2.45 minutes, brushed my teeth and went outside and started up my car. My phone told me that it was only 07:47 and I still had good time before school started at 08:30. I had talked to Naruto the day before and we had decided to meet up before school to 'catch up'. In other words, he would go on and on about his holiday and I would listen, or not listen, depending on what he had to talk about.

There were a few cars at the school's parking lot when I arrived, but my usual spot was available. Naruto was lying in the grass with normal grin all over his face.

"Hey!" He grinned even wider and bumped my arm when I lied down next to him in the grass. We were usually hanging out here in our breaks and before or after school, depending on the situation. It was nice with the thick grass and the bright skies above us. It was nice just lying there, gazing up.

"So, what was all this about? I could have spent 30 minutes longer in bed if you hadn't insisted on meeting up. Better we worth it." I smirked.

"Sasuke.. You're not going to believe this."

"Tsk. Well, give it a try."

"I met a girl this summer. And uh.. Well.. Yeah. There's this girl I like." He blushed a little, before he scratched his head and waited for my reply. I wanted to faceplam.

"I don't see why that would be relevant. I've been working all summer, and I've taken orders from hundreds of girls- every day, but it absolutely doesn't matter, so why bother calling me up and asking me to meet you before school in order to tell me something as irrelevant as the fact that you've met a girl during your holiday."

"I can tell that you're trying to burst my bubble, but it's not gonna work! You see, I met her during that basketball camp I went to. Well, you know, you always have a book around you, and I thought 'Hey, why not do like Sasuke and buy a book in case I get bored and want to look at pictures!' So I went by a bookstore, and yeah, you remember that bookstore on the other side of the city where you made me wait for like half an hour last year? Well, I-"

"Naruto, different from you, I actually read the books. Anyway, get to the point. What about the bookstore?"

"I'm getting to it! Anyway, she was working there this summer. Just like you work as a waiter, she worked there. I thought she was really cute and yeah, you know.. We ended up talking and although I just picked a random book, I kinda went by the store a few times to visit her. I totally would have told you sooner, but you know, you've been busy working and I kinda didn't want to tell you before it was official and stuff.." He looked over at me to study my expression.

"Sasuke. I have a girlfriend." He smiled. It wasn't a goofy grin, and he didn't give me any thumbs up or a tongue sticking out. He just smiled, and looked really happy. I was suddenly a little.. Disgusted.

"What do you want me to say? Congratulations?" It sounded a little bitter.

"That would be nice, but I don't expect that from you. Just wanted to let you know, considering that you're my best friend."

"Hn."

"So, are you excited about meeting her?" Wait.. What?

"Pardon? You only just told me, and now you want me to prepare to meet her?"

"Yeah, Sasuke, about that.. You wont actually get the time to prepare.. Heh." He scratched the back of his head again.

"You see- She's kinda-" He was cut off.

"Hello." Said a small voice behind us, causing me to get up on my feet in a jump and Naruto to casually stand up and turn to the girl interrupting us.

"Hey sweety." He gave her a quick kiss on her cheek and took her hand, then turned to me and smiled.

"As I was saying Sasuke; this is my girlfriend, Hinata Hyuga. She's in our class this semester." I couldn't help but stare. I wasn't really sure what to say.

Obviously, I should have said something offensive or well, something that suits my character. But I had nothing to say. This girl, no, Naruto's girlfriend was nothing like any girl I would have guessed Naruto would start a relationship with. She was rather short, her skin was probably as pale as my own, big light purple eyes hidden behind her dark hair which went down over her shoulders. She was wearing light skinny jeans and a navy loose t-shirt. I couldn't put my finger on what exactly it was about her, but she was nothing like any other girl I had ever seen. The way she was standing there, so petite compared to Naruto and me, so.. Fragile. Normally I would have been disgusted to no end after hearing a girl being referred to as 'sweety', but with her face.. And the way her quiet voice had greeted us.. She was maybe kind of probably a bit.. Cute. She was OK.

"It's nice to meet you, Sasuke." She said politely. She didn't reach out to shake my hand, or flash a huge smile like any other girl would do when being introduced to me. She just had a faint smile lingering on her lips, while she stood there looking right at me with Naruto's arms wrapped around her.

"I uh.. Yes. Hi- Hinata." I thought about smiling, but I didn't. It wasn't my thing. I couldn't get my eyes away from her flawless face.

"I'm sure you'll get along! Hina, now you have one more friend in the class. Come, let me introduce you to some other people too! Sasuke, are you coming?" He beamed, and the look on his face told me that he was feeling really happy about this.

"I'll catch up with you later. I forgot something in my car." I lied, but the blonde nodded and the two of them started heading towards the school.

I was standing behind. Frozen in my stance. Watching them walk hand in hand.
That was the first moment during my seventeen years that I actually noticed a girl. Hinata Hyuga; the girl currently dating my best friend.
