2: See You Tonight

It was the second day of the 'fake' couple act; it was a normal day at Konoha High but it wasn't normal for Hinata, she felt more uneasy and nervous around Naruto. Even though they were just acting she sometimes thought it was for real.

It was lunchtime and Hinata was looking for a spot to sit in the cafeteria, in the corner of her eye she could see a figure waving at her, gesturing her to come and sit. 'Should I go sit with Naruto?' she thought as she slowly made her way through the crowd. Before she answered her own question, she already had placed herself next to Naruto.

'Hey girlfriend,' Naruto's voice always sounds so happy.

'Hi Narunaru,' a voice popped out of no where, both Hinata and Naruto turned around seeing a pink haired girl wearing a pink dress and pink shoes. Next to her was a brunette who had her hair tied in little buns and actually smiled like she meant it.

'Hey, my name's Ten-ten,' said the brunette, she had a voice that wasn't as sassy as Sakura's, and in fact she was totally opposite to Sakura.

'Hi Ten-ten,' both Hinata and Naruto said at the same time.

'Wow, you guys are so in sync,' Ten-ten complimented, Hinata peered at Naruto to see what his reaction was like but Naruto just scratched his head and chuckled. Sakura glared at her.

'Ten-ten, go eat your lunch and leave us alone, okay?'

'Oooookay.'

'So Hinata,' Sakura looked at Hinata as if she was a piece of junk, 'since you and Naruto are, like, hanging out, like, don't you think you should spend some time with your friends a bit? And like give Naruto A BIT MORE SPACE?'

'What's your point Sakura,' Naruto growled.

'Oh nothing Narunaru, I just think that you would be a bit isolated from others because of that girl.'

Naruto stood up, held onto Hinata's hand and drag her out of that cafeteria without even looking at Sakura.

Hinata looked that the hand that Naruto was still holding, their fingers entwined each others and it looked like as if they were meant to be together, 'no, we're just pretending,' Hinata thought, 'being your pretend girlfriend is harder than I thought.'

Hinata went home threw her bag in the hallway and went to look for her cousin, well she didn't really have to look for Neji because she knew that he would be sitting in front of the TV as usual.

'Hey cousin, how did you face Sakura?'

'mmmmm.'

'And that means…?'

'I'm going to die.'

'Okay,' and Neji walked upstairs to his room.

Hinata was confused, 'isn't he going to ask what Sakura did to me?' Hinata thought there was something wrong with Neji lately, this morning he didn't say anything, he usually complains about how sick he is so he doesn't have to go to school. He doesn't seem to care about Hinata either, especially when she's pretending to be the hottest boy's girlfriend. Neji doesn't seem down or anything, he seems as if he's too happy to talk to Hinata.

Hinata was excused from dinner that night because she wasn't in the 'mood' to eat. The sound of Sakura's sassy voice made her feel like puking, her smiles were more like snickers; her eyes were like razor sharp knives. In other words, Hinata hates Sakura, every single thing about her. Hinata had never hated anyone like this before.

She couldn't do her homework, even if it was due tomorrow she just couldn't stop thinking about Naruto, what if he liked her for real? What if Neji and Naruto planned this in the first place? What if…what if… Hinata just can't concentrate on anything, faces of Naruto keep popping up in her head, even if she has been crazy about Naruto for a long time, she's never been this crazy.

Her last vision of Naruto disappeared when she turned off her lamp; she knew it was going to start again tomorrow…

* * *

Once she woke up she remembered the homework she didn't do that was meant to be due today. She got dressed and ran to her brother's room.

'What am I going to do? Neji? Neji!!!'

'Mmmmrph…whhhhaaaaat…I'm sleeping.'

'God Neji, there are something called pyjamas you can wear next time you go to bed,' said Hinata looking away.

'Whatever.'

Hinata's mother called Neji and Hinata down for breakfast, but Hinata couldn't eat, she still haven't finished her homework, it was an assignment that was about romance, they had to write about a story about…romance. 'Does writing about my life recently count as romance?' Hinata thought as she hurried off to school.

Naruto met Hinata at the entrance of Konoha high school, he was forcing a smile trying not to let Hinata worry.

'I hate her,' Naruto whispered into Hinata's ear. Hinata blushed slightly.

'Who?'

'Sakura, she shouldn't treat my girlfriend like that.'

Hinata blushed even more, she can feel her blood rushing up to her face, her face turning red like a tomato or make that strawberry.

'Are you okay?'

'Y-yeah, I'm fine.'

Sakura just happen to pop by this time. This time her hair was blue and pink, according to Hinata, she looks hideous.

'Hey guys, having your lovey-dovey conversations?' said Sakura while batting her eyelashes at Naruto. Luckily Naruto backed away before Sakura fell on top of him.

'Hi Sakura,' Hinata decided to stand up for herself a little, 'we were just talking about going to the movies.'

'When? Where? Which ones?' Sakura demanded. She grabbed Naruto's collar and pulled him closer. 'Tell me!'

'F-Fine!' Naruto staggered backwards, massaging his throat. 'The nearest ones! Seven thirty tonight!'

'But…' Hinata looked sideways at the blonde and he winked back.

'Thank you, Narunaru,' Sakura said sweetly, giving Hinata a smile that showed too many teeth. 'See you toniiight!'

She flounced off, waving her fingers daintily. 'Come on, Tenten! Let's go or you'll make me late for my daily manicure.'

'Oooh, Tenten, let's go or you'll make me late for my daily facemask,' mocked Naruto in a very bad imitation of Sakura's voice. 'See you tonight!' He snorted. 'Ha ha, I don't think so. Pfsh, let's stay home tonight,' Naruto whispered.

'Haha… yeah…' Hinata watched Sakura walk off to her locker fearfully. 'Anywhere without Sakura…' she added silently.

'Let's go,' Naruto said, lacing his fingers through hers. 'Girlfriend.'

She smiled and turned, walking beside him and didn't see Sakura's icy glare that followed her down the corridor.
