Walking the streets
With you and your worn out jeans
I can't help thinking
This is how it ought to be
Laughing on a park bench
Thinking to myself
Hey, isn't this easy?
And you've got a smile
That could light up this whole town
I haven't seen it in awhile
Since she brought you down
You say you're fine
I know you better than that
Hey whatchu doing
With a girl like that
Hinata sighed when she woke up.
Today was Friday, the day of the dance, the day of her official death.
She groaned as she got from her bed and took a shower. She threw on a lavender baby doll dress and a pair of skinny jeans beneath it. Hinata snatched up a pair of lavender flip flops and tied her violet hair up into a ponytail. She sped down the stairs where she found her cousin Neji sitting down eating an apple, waiting for her.
Hinata grabbed a small stem of grapes and popped them into her mouth, one after another. She finished her grapes quickly, as her cousin finished his apple. He disappeared to god knows where on his own route to school, while she picked up her skateboard and messenger from beside the door.
On her slow way, Hinata felt her phone buzz in her pocket. She pulled out the custom made lavender black berry storm and found a text from Naruto on the screen. Hinata couldn't help but smile as she stopped moving.

Sorry, Hina! I've got to leave, Suki's driving this morning.
~X~
__________________________________________________________________________________________________
Hinata let out a groan.
"What would he be doing with Suki driving this morning?" she asked herself as she began speeding towards the school.
That ugly bitch better stay away from our Naruto Chan.
Since when is he Naruto Chan?
Since now you shy little thing!!
Onto another topic, how do we get Naruto to realize that we love him?
Hey, isn't Sakura's band 'Blind Kitten' playing tonight?
Yes… Why?
We could sing that one song by Taylor Swift we heard last night!!
Hm…Interesting… I'll think about it. But for now, you GO BACK IN YOUR BOX!
Damn you…
Just in time for her to reach the school, Hinata shoved Psycho Hina back into the cardboard box recesses of her mind. She sighed as she went up the stairs and entered the school. Hinata jogged to her locker, opened it, threw her skateboard inside, and jogged to her first class –Science- where she knew Sakura would already be. Sakura waved at Hinata and motioned for her to come to her seat beside her.
Hinata took her place and swallowed hard.
"Sakura Chan, would you mind if I… sang a song with Blind Kitten tonight?" she asked quietly.
Sakura arched her brow, curious. Usually, Hinata did not enjoy sharing her voice with the student body. But hey, maybe Hinata was getting over the final bits of her shyness. Sakura shrugged and grinned.
"I'm sure the girls wouldn't mind. Is there anything in particular you'd like to sing?" she asked.
Hinata's face turned a soft shade of pink as she struggled to get the name of the song out of her mouth.
"'You Belong with Me' by Taylor Swift.'" She replied.
Sakura grinned.
Yes, this is exactly what she was looking for.
"Perfect! I know the song well and I can get some sheet music for the girls tonight. Make sure you show up at about nine thirty, because that's the only time we could be able to fit your song in." Sakura said.
Hinata smiled and nodded.
This was going to be her chance!!
She wears high heels
I wear sneakers
She's cheer captain
I'm on the bleachers
Dreaming about the day
When you wake up and find
That what you're looking for
Has been here the whole time
If you could see
That I'm the one
Who understands you
Been here all along
So why can't you
See you belong with me
Standing by and
Waiting at your backdoor
All this time
How could you not know
Baby
You belong with me
You belong with me.
Hinata sat in her room that night, thinking over what she had done. She was going to sing for Naruto. And she was going to make sure he heard it, and got the message about how much he meant to her. Hinata nodded.
"This is what I want. And I'm going to follow through." She told herself repeatedly.
Hinata then commenced to getting ready for the night's dance. She took a quick shower and brushed out her hair. She then tied the violet locks up into a high ponytail which she curled the ends of. Hinata chose a simple white sleeveless dress. The dress had a white corset with pale cream colored string, and the skirt flowed a bit more freely.
Hinata chose a black choker with a small cerulean teardrop gem on it.
"Cerulean… The color of Naruto kun's eyes…" she murmured as she looked herself over in the full length mirror.
She sighed heavily as she began applying a small amount of blush to her slightly pale skin. Hinata put on a small bit of gloss to her lips and applied her mascara carefully. She then put on a small bit of eyeliner to her bottom lid, making her lavender eyes seem much more beautiful than they already were. Once finished with her make up, Hinata chose a pair of white lace up heel sandals. She didn't put them on, but instead walked downstairs quickly.
Hinata snatched up a couple of grapes from a fruit bowl and ate them all slowly, as the chewing calmed her frayed nerves.
What if Naruto didn't feel the same way?
What if he didn't love her and their friendship was forever ruined?
Hinata shook her head.
It was a risk she was willing to take.
She walked out of her home with her skateboard in hand.
You didn't think she was going to go the old fashioned way and take a car did you?
Silly, silly readers, heavens no! Hinata was taking her skateboard!!
The sound of the turning wheels hitting the pavement lulled Hinata, and the darkness of the night made her imagination soar with all kinds of ideas for all kinds of things. She couldn't help but grin. Night was her favorite time.
She reached the school and walked slowly into it. She put on and laced up her sandals and began walking towards the auditorium where the dance was going to be held. Hinata took in a deep breath and walked through the double doors.
People were dancing and swaying to the music. The sound of 'Rose' by Anna Tsuchiya, sung by Blind Kitten rang out through the room. Making her way through the crowd, Hinata could see that many did not recognize her. No one had ever seen her dressed up for any occasion, not even her own birthday.
Hinata made her way backstage through a door that connected to the band room. She stood in the wings as Sakura finished up the song and waved out towards the crowd.
"We're going to take a two minute break, then be out back again with a special number, then 'Spider Spins' by Olivia Lufkin, requested by Ino Yamanaka!" she said, as the crowd erupted in applause for her.
Sakura trotted offstage and reached Hinata with a wide grin. Sakura's pink hair in a high pony tail was messy, her red and black guitar hung across her shoulders, and her black mid thigh dress complimented her body. The sound of her black sandal heels 'click, clakced' as they neared her.
"Hey, Hinata! You ready?" Sakura asked as she took a sip of a water bottle beside where Hinata was standing.
She took in a deep breath and nodded.
"Yes. I…I know I'm ready for this." She replied, confidence shimmering in her lavender eyes.
Sakura smiled and nodded as she walked back onto the stage.
"Hey everybody! Remember that special number I was talking about? Well, it's not a strip tease! It's a special song for a special someone out there, sung by our very own Hinata Hyuga!!" she said into the microphone.
Cheers for Hinata sounded out as she walked onto the stage. Sakura moved away from the microphone and let Hinata take her place. She took in a deep breath.
"This song is for you, Naruto kun." She said softly.
Hinata took in a deep breath, swallowed hard knowing the good and bad consequences of what she was about to do, and began singing.
Why waste your time flaming when you could send me nice reviews and you could get a cookie?
Yeah, I don't see a point either.
Love or Hate, this bitch is gonna get an update!!
