Hinata sat at the bench waiting for the school bus to arrive. She couldn't stand it, Naruto was flirting with Sakura again, even though she always turns him down and swoons over Sasuke but today she was actually flirting back! Maybe she just finally got over Sasuke always rejecting her, which Hinata was glad she got over her obsession for him but she didn't think that Sakura would make a move on her obsession Naruto!
What about those times when he would purposely go out of his way for her? Ok she wasn't out of his way but on his way, or help her when she didn't need it or when no one else was around. When he would give her inspiration or a pep talk, she thought that it meant something, that he might feel the same way about her that she feels about him but apparently what she felt for Naruto, he felt for Sakura.
'Sakura knew that I liked Naruto but why is she doing this? I confessed how I was going to tell him on Friday; couldn't she wait till at least Saturday to make a move on him? It's Thursday she didn't even give me a chance, now that he knows he can have perfect Sakura there's no way he'd go and settle for me, she is so ...so ...mean!' angrily thought Hinata in emotional pain.
Hinata turned away, unable to stand looking at Sakura seeming all over 'her' man. "Hehehe, oh Naruto your so funny!" Shrieked Sakura in her shrill voice. Hinata silently groaned and put her ear buds in her ears, turned on her Ipod and set it to shuffle.
Dear, I fear we're facing a problem
You love me no longer, I know
And maybe there is nothing
That I can do to make you do
Mama tells me I shouldn't bother
That I ought to stick to another man
A man that surely deserves me
But I think you do!
'Seriously, Where is that bus!?' Silently asked Hinata as she glanced in their direction. 'Oh god! He was touching her hand! And she was letting him!' She thought she was improving so much on her self confidence, she really was going to tell him how she felt, she even fixed her stuttering, for the most part, to look more appealing to him but apparently all that work was in vain.
So I cry, I pray and I beg
'I even gave him hints!' She mentally groaned as she held back tears remembering the cute little note conversations, walking him to his classes, she even let him copy! Her, little miss goody goody who never does anything wrong! And she did all that for him and how does he treat her? Like a friend and go for the pink haired genius! She wanted Naruto to treat her like that, Sakura never did anything to deserve his attention, and she never goes out of her way for him it was always Hinata. She just wanted him to at least reject her to her face instead of just ignoring her.
Love me love me
Say that you love me
Fool me fool me
Go on and fool me
Love me love me
Pretend that you love me
Leave me leave me
Just say that you need me
Love me love me
Say that you love me
Leave me leave me
Just say that you need me
I can't care 'bout anything but you...
Sure lately she had been having doubts about continuing her crush on him, wondering if her efforts would be worth it if he rejected her, now Hinata realized that she should have listened to her instincts. It would make this, this insult so much less heart wrenching. She knew that her infatuation for him was probably unhealthy, but it gave her motivation to complete even the smallest tasks she had been having problems with. He helped encourage her to get out of her depression and improve on so many aspects of her life; the more she thought about it the more she realized that she depended way too much on a nonexistent relationship. 'Great so I lose my friend Sakura, my crush Naruto and I guess my muse also.'
Lately I have desperately pondered,
Spent my nights awake and I wonder
What I could have done in another way
To make you stay
Reason will not lead to solution
I will end up lost in confusion
I don't care if you really care
As long as you don't go
'I don't think I need him to continue making progress in school and all, he helped me get started and I guess that's what counts. He helped me get started and now I'm strong enough to go on my own.' She thought as she glanced again 'Oh god, he's kissing her!!' She groaned as she turned away again.
So I cry, I pray, and I beg
She prayed that the bus was right around the corner, that Shino would already be on that bus starring out that window and they would wait ten minutes in comfortable silence until they reach Kiba's street. He'll try to sneak on Akamaru and get into an argument with the bus driver, make Akamaru go home and sit behind Hinata and Shino and trash talk the bus driver for not allowing his beloved pooch ride to school with them. "Hmmm Naruto." Cooed Sakura as Naruto nibbled on her neck. 'This isn't cool guys I'm right here next to you!' Mentally shouted Hinata as she cringed and turned up the volume.
Love me, love me
Say that you love me
Fool me, fool me
Go on and fool me
Love me, love me
Pretend that you love me
Leave me, leave me
Just say that you need me
So I cry, and I pray for you to
Love me, love me
Say that you love me
Leave me, leave me
Just say that you need me
I can't care 'bout anything but you...
"Oh Naruto!" Cried Sakura in pleasure as Hinata suddenly stood up in anger. "Oi Hinata what's wrong?" Asked Naruto in false interest. "Both of you are my friends and friends don't put their friends in awkward situations LIKE THIS!" Shouted Hinata in calm fury. "I cant believe you two would do this right next to me!" She growled in disappointment as she narrowed her eyes. Sakura and Naruto both averted their eyes, unable to face the velvet haired heiress.
Anything but you...
"You both know how I felt, I would have understood if you had just told me you only liked each other and wouldn't feel the same way about me. But what you just did is, is ...horrible." Choked out Hinata, her eyes brimming with tears. Sakura was the first to talk "Hinata I'm so sor-" "-You knew I liked him and-and you knew I was going to talk to him tomorrow. Rejection I can deal with, I grew up with it but what you did is betrayal. I don't even want to talk to you right now." Interrupted Hinata, causing the pink haired girl to silence on the verge of tears. "And you Naruto ...probably aren't worth it." She said trying to convince mostly herself. The small group at the bus stop stood in silence from the outburst.
Love me, love me (Say that you love me)
Fool me, fool me (Go on and fool me)
Love me, love me (I know that you need me)
"Hey Hinata." Said a quiet voice behind her. "No school today, water main broke." Informed Shino in a mild tone. Hinata nodded and looked back at the two in pain then back at Shino "D-do you wanna walk me home?" She asked pleadingly. Shino stood for a second taking in the setting of Hinata standing while Naruto leaning on Sakura who was laying down on the bench. "Sure" He said as he nodded. Hinata flashed him a small smile as she walked up beside him and linked their arms like they sometimes did and began walking.
They walked until they were out of sight of the bus stop until Shino spoke "It hurts now but tomorrow it will hurt less." He said looking straight ahead, Hinata smiled at her friends words. Shino always knew when something was wrong, his intelligence and his attention to small detail would always help him figure out whatever was wrong with Hinata even without being told.
She looked up and him and kissed him on his cheek shocking him somewhat "You know Shino," she started tightening her grip slightly "I'm glad it was you who told me school was out today." Shino grunted slightly "Why?" He asked somewhat confused. She giggled slightly causing his confusion to grow. "Because your way more worth it than Naruto." She said leaning her head against his shoulder. "Hmm?" He asked while popping up an eye brow. "I guess it just took Naruto denying me to realize how good to me you are, thank you Shino." She said as she smiled, Shino gave a silent chuckle "No problem 'Nata." He replied with a small smile.
I can't care 'bout anything but you..
