A/N: This is like a High School fic. So no fighting, no battles. None of that jazz. Not sure about pairings yet, so hold tight for that. There might not even be any couples. Dunno. Okay, read, enjoy, and press that wonderful review button. Please :)
Hinata Hyuga had a secret.
She was obsessed with Naruto Uzumaki. Just kidding. Just kidding. That wasn't her "big secret."
Everybody in Konoha High School knew that, except for maybe Naruto Uzumaki himself.
She ran a column in the school newspaper called "Advice for Ya'll." In the advice column, Hinata Hyuuga answered questions acting totally unlike her. She was confident and scarily honest.
If anybody found out about the advice column, the wonderful 'sweet girl' image of hers would be forever ruined.
It was 10 o'clock and everybody was asleep. Because Konoha High School was such a prestigious school, in order to get in, you had to be either:
A) really smart, like Hinata Hyuga
B) really jock-y, like Naruto Uzumaki
C) really loaded with money, like Neji Hyuga (who was her cousin, but they kept their distance)
D) really attractive, like Sakura Haruno
E) full of connections, like Sasuke Uchiha (his brother, Itachi, was a teacher there and his father founded the school)
Students traveled from far, far away so they lived in dorms at Konoha. Luckily, the dorms were super big, and only two people shared one dorm.
Hinata shared her dorm with Tenten, who was her best friend. Tenten was asleep, so Hinata was crouched on her bed (each dorm had two queen sized beds; the beds were good distances apart) with a flashlight supplying light.
She was reading her email messages. This was where she answered her questions. She then sent those answers to Tsunade, who was the current principal of the school. Even Tsunade didn't know who "Keiko" was (a.k.a. Hinata).
That was Hinata's alias.
Tsunade assumed "Keiko" was Sakura Haruno, just because of Keiko's overwhelming personality. Much like Sakura Haruno's.
Hinata sighed happily. She only had three messages.
One said:
Dear Keiko,
I want to know who you are! Please tell us!
Love,
Confused
Hinata typed a quick reply.
Dear Confused,
The day you find out who I am is the day Sexy One will lose his sexiness.
Love,
Keiko
She couldn't use real names, of course, so she settled with nicknames.
Everybody at Konoha knew that Sexy One was Itachi Uchiha. Tsunade only kept up with "Keiko" because Keiko amused her. And plus, an advice column was what the school needed.
She clicked on another message.
It said:
Hey Keiko!
I just want to say that you're pretty awesome. I'm pretty sure you know who Brother of Sexy One is, right? Yeah, well, I have this super huge crush on him! What should I do about it? The whole school is in love with him! I want to be different than all of his other fan girls.
Love,
Cherry Blossom
Hinata laughed. It was so obvious that Cherry Blossom was Sakura. First of all, Sakura's name basically meant "Cherry Blossom."
Second, if Sasuke Uchiha had to come up with the name of his biggest stalker, it would definitely be Sakura. Or maybe Ino. One of the two, anyway.
Sakura could have been a bit more subtle about it, Hinata thought. Fangirls are all the same.
Hey Cherry Blossom!
Thanks so much! (But I know I'm pretty awesome – no telling me twice. ) Okay, back to your problem. Yes, I know who Brother of Sexy One is. I wouldn't mind being stuck in a room with him… Just kidding! I'm into other guys, not him, no need to worry about Keiko stealin' your man. Just act like yourself! If he doesn't like you for who you are, then he doesn't deserve you. Ask him to do something he likes. I think he likes Green Day, right? Buy him one of Green Day's CD. He'll melt in your hands like chocolate.
Problem Solved,
Keiko
She opened up the last message.
Keiko,
I'm clumsy, and I fall down a lot. What should I do?
Your friend,
Stumbly
Stumbly,
Just watch where you're going! It's okay to fall. I've tripped down staircases before! Don't worry unless you break a few bones… which hopefully won't happen. Best of luck to you!
Watch where you go,
Keiko
Hinata sighed. She was finally done with her messages.
If people found out, I don't know what I can do. Atleast I can rest in peace, knowing that nobody knows… except for me.
She sighed and flopped down on her bed, putting her laptop away. In just a few minutes, sleep overtook her…
. . . .
"Come on, Sleepy! Wake up!" Tenten threw her pillow at Hinata.
"Wha-?" Hinata said groggily. It had just seemed like a few minutes ago that she'd closed her eyelids…
"Time to wake up!" Tenten jumped on Hinata, who was awake at this point. Hinata sighed.
"Okay, we should get going." She gathered her things together and then did her morning routine, which was only about fifteen minutes long.
When they got to the main hallway, nearly everyone was holding a copy of the "Konoha Press." The weekly newspaper featured many things like articles on various subjects, a sports column by the one and only Naruto Uzumaki, Keiko's advice column, etc.
Keiko's advice column was a big hit. Hinata didn't know why. She wasn't that amazing at giving advice. Perhaps it was just the whole mystery thing. Trying to find out how Keiko was.
Sasuke Uchiha was holding a copy of the "Konoha Press." He was the only one with a disgruntled expression on his face.
"Sakura… that girl really annoys me." He said to nobody in particular, but millions of fan girls were swarming him.
"What did you say, Sasuke honey?" Ino asked curiously.
"Nothing." Sasuke hated his fan girls.
Sakura walked up to Sasuke. "So Sasuke…" She muttered. "Do you like Green Day?"
"Yeah, what's it to you?"
"N-n-nothing," Sakura Haruno was never at a loss for words. Only when Sasuke said a snide comment to her was she every at a loss for words.
A bell chimed, signaling that the students should get to class.
"GET OUT OF MY WAY!" Sasuke loudly said when his fan girls latched themselves on his arm.
Hinata was always amused at the spectacle that occurred before her eyes each morning.
Many students were still swarming around, excited about the newspaper. Hinata heard whispers.
"Keiko's amazing!"
"She would be my best friend, if only I knew who she was…"
"Why does she want her identity to be a secret?"
"We should try to find out who she is!"
Hinata gasped. The students looked at her. "C-c- carry on," she stumbled on her words. "Sorry, I choked on my um, apple." They looked at her weirdly but continued.
And of course, the occasional:
"Naruto's column sucks. There are no words to describe its suckiness. Atleast he's good looking."
Hinata laughed inside. She had to admit, Naruto's column wasn't much liked.
He was an okay student, but he had a major case of ADHD. She found it surprising that he managed to write an article each week.
Sports were his motivation. Too bad he wasn't amazing at them, like Sasuke Uchiha was.
But he tried. Hard. Hinata had to give him credit for that.
She headed off to class, blushing like a tomato when she thought of Naruto. She bumped into somebody tall, who was wrapped in a sports jacket.
"Oh, s-s-sorry." She looked up. It was none other than Naruto. Hinata blushed even harder. "Um, I'm really sorry Naruto! Um, um, um" she looked around wildy. "Have a nice day!" She sped walked out of there.
Naruto hadn't noticed anything amiss until he heard a small girl say sorry. Oh, hey, that's Hinata. Why's she apologizing? Oh she must have ran into me.
"It's okay, Hinata," he loudly said so the petite girl could hear him. "I'm sorry too." Hinata blushed as she opened the door into her class.
He hadn't noticed because he was thinking intensely about something – people never would have guessed that Naruto Uzumaki would have a brain. And that he was actually able to think.
Whatta shocker.
But that's Konoha High School, for you.
Full of secrets.
