Yo, whattap people~? I thought of a new story! ^u^ Uwahh.. t'is GaaraxHinata/GaaHina by the waaaay. lovelovelove that pairing. xD I got tired of all the fics that made Hinata seem emo or goth or whatever. Personally, I find Hinata like a humble, good girl type. Not the oh-i'm-so-badass-and-emo-and-punk-and-shit. No offense to anyone, that's just what I think. This is a highschool fic bythewayy. Please read on~!

Also, I realize I must have a disclaimer for these stories. But you know what? Screw it. If I owned freaking Naruto why would I publish stories here in ? It's retarded! I'm retarded! I'm too retarded to own Naruto anyway!

Hinata knew it was an unusual first day today. She knew it was going to be different. She didn't know how, but she just knew it would be different, she felt it in her bones.

For once, she was running late. She was never late to class, and she was determined not to change that. Which explained why she ran out of the Hyuuga mansion, quickly making her way to Konoha Academy.

When she arrived at her high school, she was out of breath. She was lucky she lived near the school. But even though she was fit, running all the way to the school took a lot out of her.

The Hyuuga girl quickly made her way up the stairs, being careful not to trip. Now she realizes she's in the complete opposite wing of her destination. Quietly groaning in annoyance, she ran to the West wing. On her way there, she collided with a walking student too, which ended up as her on the floor and the unknown individual on top of her.

"A-ah! I-I-I'm sorry! I was in a r-rush a-and-" she quickly said, embarrassed.

The boy, as she realized, grunted and got off of her.

Hinata frowned as he walked off; she hasn't seen him around before. So he must've been new.

The pearl-eyed girl shrugged it off and made her way to class.

"Ms. Hyuuga, nice of you to join us."

Hinata winced as she heard her teacher's sarcastic voice. She had just entered the classroom in time for roll call.

Hinata replied in a quiet voice, "S-sorry I'm late, Sensei. "

"Yes, well you're not tardy yet so just take your seat," Her teacher said dismissively. "You can take a seat beside Sabaku-san. He's a new student. Sabaku-san, please raise your hand."

The boy from earlier raised his hand, directly making eye contact with Hinata. Now that she had a good look at him, Hinata noticed he had blood red hair, and wore heavy black eyeliner around his cold turquoise eyes that bore into hers.

Hinata nodded and quietly made her way to the seat beside the redhead.

"I-I'm sorry for earlier. I-I'm Hinata Hyuuga,"

The redhaired boy nodded slightly, "Gaara Sabaku."

Hinata opened her mouth in reply, but her teacher started the lesson and that sort of ended their short conversation.

Her hand scribbled notes quickly on her notebook. Half of the class was asleep from the teacher's monotone lecture, and Hinata was starting to feel drowsy as well. But she wasn't one to fall asleep in class so she tried her best to continue her note taking and not fall asleep.

All of a sudden, Hinata felt a tap at her shoulder. She turned around to see a boy she knew all too well, but probably didn't know her at all.

"N-Naruto-kun…?" she murmured, blushing when she accidentally added the –kun to his name.

"Ahaha, Hinata-chan! I was wondering, why were you late to class?" Naruto chuckled and told Hinata softly so they wouldn't get caught.

"U-um, well I-"

"Hmph. Hyuuga-san, Uzumaki-san, do you want to share something with the class?"

Hinata's reply was interrupted when the teacher suddenly appeared before them, glaring down at them disapprovingly.

"Um, no! I was just asking if I could borrow a pen from Hinata-chan!" Naruto said quickly with a seemingly innocent grin.

"Uzumaki-san, why would you borrow a pen if you're already holding one?" their teacher replied, slowly losing patience. "Hmph. I thought so. I was expecting better from you Hyuuga-san. Unfortunately I can't tolerate this, detention for both of you!"

Hinata's jaw dropped in surprise; she never got detention! "B-but!"

The teacher sent her a look that said 'Say-anything-and-your-punishment-will-become-worse.'

It was horrible, absolutely horrible. Hinata thought about how it was unfair that half of the class was asleep and no teacher gave them detention. She thought about how she would dread explaining this to Neji, and especially her father. She thought about how Naruto actually spoke to her. And then she thought about the piercing turquoise eyes that stared at her when she arrived in the classroom, when she talked to Naruto, and when the teacher reprimanded her.

Today was definitely confusing, unusual and horrible.

The rest of the day passed quickly. Nothing horribly unusual happened. Except during the span of the whole day Hinata avoided her cousin, Neji.

Eventually, Hinata found herself at detention. She sulked quietly as she still found it unbelievable she was here. At the classroom, she noticed Naruto was here too. And so were Kiba and some brunette boy she hasn't met before.

Kakashi-sensei, the one supervising detention today, looked at all of them. "Alright. I really don't want to be here, and I'm sure you don't either. So I'm just gonna read my book here and you guys can talk, as long as you don't make too much noise, alright?"

Everyone nodded, except Hinata who pulled out her homework and decided to just finish it here.

Naruto leaned over and whispered, "Hey, uh, Hinata-chan? I'm sorry for getting you into trouble. I understand if you're mad at me."

Hinata sighed and smiled at the blonde, "It's alright, Naruto-san. I'm not mad."

Naruto grinned a smile that Hinata found utterly dazzling, leaving the Hyuuga blushing brightly.

"Hey you, girl. What're you in here for anyway?" asked the brunette boy Hinata didn't know from across the room, looking skeptical on why such an innocent young girl would be here.

"U-um. I was talking in class…" Hinata said, feeling a little bit as if she was in jail when asked that.

Kiba laughed and slung his arm around Hinata, "Haha! Yeah, its not like Hinata would do something so deeply terrible anyway. What about you… err..?"

"Kankuro Sabaku. I'm just in here 'cause one of the girls said I was 'sexually harassing' her. God, I was just flirting!" cried out the brunette.

"S-Sabaku? Um, if you don't mind me asking, Kankuro-san, would your brother be, Gaara-san? I'm Hinata by the way." Hinata asked curiously.

"Ehhh? Oh right! Gaara-san's last name is Sabaku, right?" Naruto exclaimed.

"Hey, keep it down out there." Kakashi warned from behind his book.

"Nice one, blondey." Kankuro said rolling his eyes. "Yeah, Gaara's my brother. You guys in the same class?"

Hinata nodded in reply while Naruto protested, "It's Naruto Uzumaki!"

"Huh, whatever." Kankuro said turning back around to face the board.

"Stupid make-up guy…" Naruto muttered grudgingly.

Eventually, detention ended. It was mostly Naruto and Kankuro arguing while Hinata and Kiba did their homework. They bid each other goodbye as they left the school.

Hinata walked along the sidewalk, her footsteps making faint 'tap' against the concrete. She sighed, thinking about how to explain everything to her father, and to Neji. Today was not a good day.

Pitter… Patter… Pitter… Patter…

The young girl blinked and looked up at the sky.

Pitter… Patter… Pitter… Patter…

Drops of rain fell from the sky, gently falling against her porcelain face.

Hinata frowned, realizing she had no umbrella or raincoat.

'Great… Just… great.' She thought to herself while frowning.

She found herself running again, wanting only to find herself under a roof or any other shelter. Soon enough, she was drenched in rainwater. Her uniform was dripping wet. It didn't help that her blouse turned slightly transparent when wet. Plus, her clothing stuck against her skin, her normally flowing indigo hair matted against her face.

She sighed and closed her eyes, ceasing her running. She was sad, and confused on why today was the way it is, and she felt very, very wet and uncomfortable.

Hinata opened her eyes and looked to her left when she noticed a black car pull up next to her. The door opened and she heard a low, growl-like voice.

"Get in."

Hinata blinked, "G-Gaara-san…?" she said noticing the familiar red hair and eyeliner.

He stared at her blankly. "You're all wet. I'll drive you home."

Hinata nodded and got in the car. She didn't know him too well, and she really owed him but right now all she wanted to do was get home.

"Again, I-I'm really sorry. T-Thank you for driving me home. I-if I can do anything in return, please just ask." She said gratefully.

The red haired boy's lips curved into a smirk for a second, and returned to it's usual blank state. "Alright."

Before he started to drive, he took a look at Hinata. She shivered lightly while the droplets rolled down from her arms to the seats of the car.

Gaara removed his maroon jacked and handed it to the shivering girl.

"A-ano! I'm okay, i-it's fi-"

Gaara leaned closer to her, placing the jacket on her shoulders and whispered to her ear, "Hinata… just take it. I'm not the one shivering and dripping wet…"

Hinata didn't say a word while her face turned bright red. The boy smirked and leaned back, lightly brushing his lips against the shell of her ear first.

"Hn. Now you just tell me where you live."

"Aah.. a-a-a-lright…"

AHEHEHEHE! Did you like? Wahh.. was it boring? I was afraid it was boring. I think it is. And it might be cliche. OH GOD NUUUU! It should get better in more chapters~~ I SWEARRR. WAHH.
