Chapter one

Hinata held her textbooks tightly to her chest, it was her first day of school and she was terrified. She'd been to school before, but it wasn't like this. Her old school was a private school, and not to mention, it was only girls that attended. But here, there were boys instead of stuck up girls, teachers instead of mean old witches, as she called them, and here just looked like so much fun. She glanced around the yard of the school, she saw boys whirling around on skateboards, the younger children playing tag, and girls gossiping at a table. It excited her, yet scared her.

Ring. Ring. She jumped at the sound of the bell. 'Two bells mean..Time for morning classes!' She headed into the large High school, eager to explore. It had been twenty minutes and she had not found her homeroom class. She was beginning to get frustrated, and was on the verge of tears. 'Its my first day of school and im already going to be in trouble!' She thought as she sniffed back the tears. She turned a sharp corner and ran smack dab into someone, her books were scattered everywhere. She quickly tried to regain her books, (and dignity).

"Im so sorry, its just, its my first day, and I don't know where anything is" she tried to hold back tears. The cheery blonde giggled.

"It's fine, don't worry. I remember my first day here" The stranger cringed "Where're you headed?"

Hinata smiled. "Umm.." she looked at her schedule "English/homeroom with Jiraiya-sensei"

The blonde smiled. "That's right! Sensei did mention something about a new student. I have that class also, just follow me." Hinata nodded her head and soon they arrived to the room. The blonde reached for the handle before turning to Hinata. "Oh, I almost forgot, I'm Ino" she said with a smile. Hinata smiled and they both entered.

"Oi! Ino! Late again. Are you asking for another detention?" Said a man with white spiky hair. Ino took her seat.

"But Sensei, I was helping out the new student! You DID tell me to be nicer." She said with a smirk. 'Sensei' mumbled something before turning to Hinata.

"And you must be Ms. Hyuuga. Would you like to introduce yourself to the class?" Hinata looked from face to face and shook her head vigorously. The man chuckled, "You don't have a choice." He ushered her to the front of the class. All eyes were on her, she felt her face get hot.

"Um, I'm Hinata" She smiled then noticed that this wasn't an all girl class. "H-Hinata Hyuuga." She mentally hit herself, she never stuttered, well, not until she was infront of boys. "I transferred from an all g-girl's school, I'm not used to p-public school, so I apologize." Jiraiya nodded and pointed to an empty seat between a pink haired girl and Ino, her very first friend. The two of them smiled as she took her seat. She sat there awkwardly until the bell rang. As everyone was pavking up to leave, she turned to Ino.

"Umm..Could you help me find my math class?"

Ino smiled and led the way

Ino grabbed Hinata by the arm. "If we don't get there soon, all of the good seats are gonna be taken!"

They finally reached the cafeteria. Ino looked for her usual table, all of the seats were taken, except three. They walked over to the semi-full table.

"Hey guys!" Said Ino as she plopped her bag down under the table.

"Is this the new girl?" Asked a boy with black hair

Ino rolled her eyes. "Duh"

"I'm Kiba!" Said the black haried boy with a flirty smile. Hinata murmered and "Hi"

Kiba waited for the guys to follow suit, but they didn't, so he introduced everyone.

"Oh, I forgot one," he said after he pointed everyone out to her. "Naruto, he'll be here soon."

"N-Naruto?" Hinata asked. Kiba nodded his head and began to eat.

The pink haired girl, Sakura, smiled at her. "Y'know, you're FAR more friendlier than that" she said as she looked towards Ino. "I like you."

Hinata smiled.
