Disclaimer: This goes through the entire fic: I OWN NOTHING!

"Seriously, Hinata, you're going to fit in just fine at this new school," the blue haired sophomore's mother babbled for the umpteenth time.

Hinata let out a sigh and pressed herself more against the car door. She looked out at the rain outside, and her lavender tinted eyes reflected her sorrow. She already missed her friends from her old school, especially Amai. As for making new friends, that wasn't one of Hinata's talents. Hinata hated this and loathed this, but it wasn't in her power.

"Mom," Hinata finally said, raising her head from the foggy window.

"And Neji's already been there for a full year," Hinata's mom continued, not even aware her daughter had spoken. "I'm sure he'll show you around..."

Flashback...

Hinata took a step back as Neji jeered at her again, this time for being shy. She shook her head, trying to clear his voice from her head. It was futile, but she still tried.

"I-I have to go!" Hinata stammered before turning to walk around. She instantly felt a pressure against her leg and she was tripping, straight into the mud puddle just ahead. She looked up from her now filthy clothing, shaking away wet bangs to see Neji smirking at her. She got up, embarrassed, and made her way back home.

End flashback...

Oh yeah. He would totally help her. It was several years ago, but it probably wouldn't change. He would be the nicest person in the entire school.

Riiight.

"Mom," Hinata repeated, this time a little bit louder. Her mom kept going on, as if she hadn't heard her.

"And you're such a pretty and nice girl. If you just walk with your head up and stop being so shy, I bet you can get a b-"

"Mom!" Hinata shouted in the only way she could. It was tranquil, but high-pitched enough so it can get attention. She really didn't need to hear the end of that sentence. She knew it was coming, but saving yourself from complete and total embarrassment is usually a good idea. Her mom instantly went silent and looked back at her.

"I'll be just fine, Mom," Hinata lied. "Just. Fine." She leaned against the window again.

The entire trip was silent until the school came into view. Hinata sighed again, and she got out of the car. Her mother insisted on walking her in, so Hinata's face was constantly a bright red. A few of the kids snickered at her. This is going to be a long year.

At the office, a medium aged blonde sat in the principal's chair, her blue eyes flashing. "Hello, I'm Tsunade," she announced. Hinata must have looked desperate, because the woman principal added, "I can take over from here. You may leave."

"Take care, Hinata, and don't forget to keep your head up!" her mom said cheerfully as she left. Hinata went as red as a tomato.

Tsunade shot Hinata a sympathetic glance. "Crazy mother?"

Hinata just merely nodded in her reply. What was the point of speaking if she was just going to stammer?

Tsunade, fortunately, didn't push her any farther about it. "Here's your schedule." She handed the shy girl her schedule, and Hinata looked over it quickly before saying a hurried, "T-thank you," and making her way out of the office.

"Hmmm, okay, room 101 first," she murmured to herself, and she looked up. Oh shit.

The school was freaking huge. How on earth was she going to find her way? Hinata gulped, and she hesitantly walked a few steps forward. She looked over one door, and her heart sank when she saw the numbers 506.

"Great," Hinata thought glumly. "Can't get much better than this."

After finally asking some random person for directions and a lot of internal screams of frustration, Hinata finally arrived. Her hair was in a slightly static mess for some strange odd reason even she did not know, and she was breathing hard. She must have gone around the school a billion times... not to mention the entire class was going to hate her. She took a deep breath and gently pushed open the door.

Dear god.

What Hinata saw in front of her was a very quiet class and a VERY crazy looking teacher. He had silver hair and a weird mask, and was reading some obscene book that Hinata had seen once before and had no intentions of seeing it again. Hinata gulped and took a few steps back when he heard the teacher's firm voice.

"You're late."

"Like YOU have any room to talk, Kakashi!" A girl barked, and Hinata turned to her in gratitude. To Hinata's surprise, she had locks the color of cotton candy, and fierce green eyes that seemed to attack her teacher.

The teacher named Kakashi ignored her, and took a closer look at Hinata. "Now that I think about it, I never seen you before. Are you new?"

"H-Hai!" Hinata stammered, and beneath Kakashi's mask she could make out a quirk of a smile.

"Well then! Why didn't you say so?" Kakashi asked cheerfully. "Come here, no need to be shy. What's your name?" he asked in a quiet voice.

"H-Hyuuga H-Hinata," Hinata replied quietly.

"Everyone, we have a new student, this is Hinata," Kakashi announced.

What Hinata expected were a few looks of interest that turned to boredom as they continued their work. She expected maybe a few hi's and that was it. Maybe even a welcome.

What she was not expecting was a small explosion that could have been substituted for a volcano and it wouldn't have made a difference.

"OMG! A new kid?! Get out!" Hinata was only aware of a flash of pink and brown as she was tackled by someone smaller. "I love new people!" The young woman had the blushing Hinata in a death grip and squeezed her, ignoring the chuckling students in the background.

"Tenten, don't kill her," Kakashi remarked. The girl named Tenten abruptly released Hinata, who was turning blue by every second, and the latter started gasping for breath.

"You can sit by me!" Tenten squealed. "The desk next to me is open!" Grabbing Hinata by the hand, she dragged the non-protesting girl to the desk. Hinata hesitantly sat in it.

"Okay, now that we're all good and met Hinata, can we go on with the lesson or are we going to watch Tenten be a monkey all day?" Kakashi asked, but Hinata could tell from his voice. "Okay, turn to page 96..."

Tenten shoved her book so it was in the middle of the two desks, and murmured, "We're learning grammar since Kakashi thinks we suck at it."

Hinata couldn't suppress a giggle. "Are you bad at it?"

"Yep. But Kakashi sucks at teaching. That's why we call him Kakashi instead of the Mr. crap. He can't tell the difference."

"Excuse me ladies? Did I just hear that?" Kakashi was looming over them, what little expression Hinata could see slightly annoyed. She gulped.

"Um... T-Tenten j-just told me how g-good of a teacher you are, that's all!" Hinata stammered, but she hoped she sounded vaguely convincing.

"Yeah!" Tenten added cheerfully. She lowered her eyelids, peering up at her teacher through her eyelashes, looking like a girl who had a crush on her teacher. "You're the best, Kakashi," she purred in a sickeningly sweet voice. "You rock, after all, this is my favorite class."

Kakashi instantly sweatdropped at Tenten's antics. He shook his head slowly. "Whatever," he only said, and moved down the isle. Tenten sighed with relief before talking again to Hinata. "Can I see your schedule?"

Hinata handed it to her, and promptly put her hand over Tenten's mouth to somewhat muffle her squeal. She went beet red as everybody looked in their direction anyway. Tenten impatiently pried off Hinata's hand and whispered excitedly, "You have 2nd, 5th, 6th, and 8th blocks with me! That's awesome!"

Hinata couldn't hold back a smile. She had made her first friend.

Hinata had caught up in all her classes easily, since most of the material she had already learned. Her Math class was okay; her teacher was named Kurenai, (Everybody in the school called their teachers by their first names) but Biology was going to be hell. Her teacher was Ebisu and he made absolutely no sense. Hinata always hated science, especially biology, and he wasn't going to make it any easier. Not to mention Tenten wasn't in her class. She sighed. Oh well, it was lunch time now.

Luckily her Science class was two doors down from the cafeteria, so it wasn't that hard to find. She opened the doors and immediately sweatdropped at the very long line, and thanked her lucky stars that she brought her own lunch today. Now where to sit...

"Hinata! Over here!" Tenten's voice rang out, and Hinata immediately whirled to see the girl with twin buns standing up and waving frantically like she was waving down traffic. She had a blonde woman and a chocolate haired man sitting next to her. Hinata sighed as she recognized Neji. She knew she would have to face him sooner or later, but she preferred later.

Much later.

Well, she didn't want to hurt Tenten's feelings. She would have to do it. Taking a deep breath in resignation, she picked her way through the kids and sat at the table.

To her colossal surprise, her cousin dipped his head towards her. Hinata's eyes widened even further when he spoke. It had no malice in it, just politeness.

"Hinata," he said simply.

"Get out, you guys already know each other?!" Tenten exclaimed, surprised.

"I should, she's my cousin," Neji remarked dryly.

"Well, I didn't know that," Tenten snapped. "Sorry." She stressed the first syllable.

Neji raised an eyebrow at her, and Tenten's look softened. "I hate it when you do that," she grumbled.

"I know." He quickly pecked her on the cheek.

Now that Hinata wasn't expecting. Hinata managed to look as if that exchange didn't happen, and looked over to the side at the blonde woman. She was looking at her nails, and her hair was pulled back in four pigtails.

"Oh, how rude of me," Tenten added, pulling herself from Neji. "Hinata, this is Temari. She's a junior." The blonde finally looked up, and her sharp chocolate eyes took Hinata by surprise.

"Pleasure to meet you," Temari finally said, her voice warm. Hinata murmured, "Likewise" and Temari smiled widely. "You two," she pointed at Tenten and Hinata, "should sleep over during the weekend. It's too boring around where I live."

"I'll have to ask, but I'll try," Tenten replied. "Hinata, can you make it.

Imagining Mom's response...

"What? Hinata, that's fabulous! You made some friends, I'm so proud of you! Of course you can, my little girl made friends so fast! We'll have to tell your father, you're getting so much better at this! Of course, we'll have to plan this out in advance! You have your toothbrush unpacked, don't you, and you'll need some new pajamas so you don't have to wear those ratty ones you always wear... and I'll have to meet her parents as well. But this is awesome Hinata, I told you you would be just fine...

"She'll be fine with it," Hinata remarked bluntly.

"Awesomeness!" Temari shrieked.

"What is it now, Temari?" A cruel sounding voice sounded from above them. "You finally get a sleepover? I get one every weekend, not to mention a party every Friday. You should really catch up with the trends." Hinata began to shake, there was someone just like this at her old school. The girl standing above Temari was a haughty beauty with long blonde hair and sharp aquamarine eyes, and her clothing was so tight it was unbelievable she could breathe in it.

"Take a hike, Ino," Tenten snapped.

"Make me," The girl named Ino snapped, and she put her hands on her hips. "Miss I-date-a-womanizer," she added sweetly.

Neji's face went livid.

"Shut up, you bitch!" Tenten snapped.

"Ass."

"Slut."

"Whore."

"Shithead."

"Fucker."

"Mother fucker."

"Would you both just shut up?" Temari finally roared, and she jerked her head up. "Seriously, Ino, just take Tenten's advice or jump in a lake or something!"

"I will, I just have some advice for Hinata here," Ino said sweetly. "She would be so much better off with us, other than you low down freak."

Hinata blushed and shrank back, scared of what Ino might do. Neji obviously sensed this, because he turned to Ino.

"Get the hell away from my cousin before I have to do it for you... by the hair," Neji growled. Hinata's eyes widened and her mouth dropped open slightly.

"Think about my offer, Hinata." Ino ignored Neji and flounced back to her table. She laughed hard at something the same pink haired girl from this morning said.

"Um..." Hinata began.

"Just forget that ever happened." They all said together.

Hinata dragged her backpack through the door and threw it on the ground. She kicked off her shoes and instantly went to the computer.

"How was your day, honey?" her mother called.

"Interesting."

OK, there you go! Hope it was okay!!!
