Shadowgirl: Here's a new story for you guys. This is just something I thought up really quick. Tell me if I should continue or not (I probably am unless you guys say it's absolutely horrible). The gang is in high school. Such an original plot isn't it? Oh well, enjoy the story!

Pairings: Sasusaku, Naruhina, Shikaino, Nejiten

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto, but I wish I did!

High School Romance

"Hinata, wake up. It's the first day of school."

Hinata Hyuga opened her eyes to see her cousin Neji Hyuga standing over her.

"Good morning Neji"

"Morning," Neji replied, "We're leaving in a half an hour. School starts at 7:20"

"Okay, I'll be ready."

Neji nodded and left her room to let her get ready.

Hinata got up, took a quick shower, and walked to her closet and pulled out a white tank top and jeans. As she got dressed, she began to think on the past years of her school experience. It wasn't exactly the best. She was basically known as either a nobody or the girl that is shy and quiet. Most students didn't even know that she and Neji were cousins. Neji was one of the most popular guys at school and all the girls coveted after him of one of his group of friends. His group of friends consisted of himself, Sasuke Uchiha, Shikamaru Nara, and Naruto Uzumaki. None of them were really nice to her or her friends, Sakura Haruno, Ino Yamanaka, and Tenten Tahitsu (1).

Once Hinata was finished getting ready, she went downstairs to find her father and sister eating breakfast.

"Good morning Father, Good morning Hanabi."

"Good morning Hinata. Neji is waiting outside."

Hinata grabbed a muffin and her light blue ¾ sleeved jacket, said good bye to her family, and went out the door. Neji was waiting outside, just like her father said, and they started walking to school.

Neither of them said much. This was natural. Neji and Hinata didn't have much in common. Despite this fact and the fact that they have completely different social circles, they still had a close bond. So close that they would at times call each other brother and sister.

They arrived at school when a loud voice called, "HINATA!!!! OVER HERE!!!!!!"

Hinata smiled. A voice that loud could only belong to Ino Yamanaka. She spotted Ino along with her two other friends Sakura and Tenten, and then turned to her cousin. "I'll see you after school." And she headed towards her friend's voice.

Ino was almost jumping up and down, "Where were you?! We want to check schedules before school starts and it's almost 7:20!" Ino was wearing a purple spaghetti strap shirt with denim caprices and purple sandals. Her blond hair was pulled back in its usual ponytail. She was known as the school loudmouth, but Ino never cared what others thought of her.

Tenten laughed, "Calm down Ino! She's here!" Tenten was wearing a forest green short sleeved shirt with black baggy pants and a black choker. Her brown hair was in her two trademark buns. Tenten was originally a street girl who had no problems beating up kids for their lunch money. Thankfully, Ino, Hinata, and Sakura helped her get her life back together and now are best friends with her. Everyone else at the school is either afraid of her, or absolutely despise her.

Sakura smirked, "Yea Ino-pig, we don't want you becoming like Naruto." Sakura was wearing a pink tank top with a knee-length jean skirt and pink flip-flops. Her long pink hair was down. Sakura and Ino constantly teased each other, but they were closer than sisters. Sakura was the nerd who loved school and was in all Honors classes.

Ino made a face. "Eugh! I hate him! He's so obnoxious!"

Hinata pulled out her schedule. "Hey guys, here's my schedule, what's yours?"

Ino, Tenten, and Sakura each pulled out their schedules and looked at their classes.

"Hey look! We all have Home Economics together 6th period!" said Sakura happily.

Tenten's eyes brighten. "Awesome! We have a lot more classes with each other than last year." Last year the four girls barely had any classes together.

Hinata looked at her watch, "Uh-oh, we better get to class now, it's almost 7:20."

The four girls said good bye, and walked to their respective class.

Meanwhile, while the girls were comparing schedules…

Neji met up with Sasuke and Shikamaru and were waiting for Naruto.

'Honestly, I think Naruto is taking after Kakashi-sensei too much.' thought Neji. 'He's probably going to want to see our schedules as well. He can't go two steps without…'

"HEY GUYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

'About time.'

Naruto ran over to them and immediately asked them, "Hey guys! What are your schedules this year?"

The boys reluctantly dug out their schedules with sentences consisting of "Hn" "Whatever" and "How troublesome".

"Hn, looks like we all have Home Economics 6th period." stated Sasuke.

Neji turned to Naruto and Shikamaru, "You guys actually chose Study Hall as one of your classes?"

Naruto looked a little sheepish, "Well I couldn't get a free period because my grades were too low, so I took Study Hall instead."

Shikamaru just shrugged, "Less work to do."

Naruto glanced at his watch. "Hey guys, class is about to start. We should go."

Naruto and Neji headed to Physics while Shikamaru headed to Honors Calculus and Sasuke to Photo.

End of Prologue

(1) Since Tenten doesn't have a last name, I made one up for her.

Shadowgirl: How was it? I spent forever making those schedules trying to make them unique and everything. I have this better planned out than Anime at Hogwarts, so I actually know what I'm going to do next. This story should be about 15 or 16 chapters. Please review and give me your opinions!
