Putting Makeup on a Pig
Chapter 2: Rat without a Courage
Summary
People call me a stalker, but that's not true. I'm just an insecure otaku with no friends, it's not my fault watching these three cheer me up. I mean if you had to deal with I did, you would understand, but then again no one would ever understand me...Right?
Hinata is the school's weirdo with a habit of stalking our team 7, Sasuke, Sakura, and of course Naruto. She has 2 secrets, one, she's an extreme otaku. And two, she can read people's thoughts. When Naruto figure's out her most embarrassing secret she has no choice but to help him with his crush. But will things turn around on her?
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Hinata's P.O.V.
Okay, remember how I said nothing could get me down, well I was so wrong. So so wrong!
The one and only Naruto Uzamaki had my arm in a tight grip keeping me from escaping. "calm down I just wanna talk..."
Let's start from the beginning to see how this started, shall we...
It started off like any other day, giving myself a rose petal bath. Then slathering myself in a lavender and vanilla lotion, to finish it off.
After that, I was brushing my hair putting it in two pigtails in the back, as it hung down to the middle of my back. A lot like principals Tsunade except longer. I was quite proud of my hair, I was in the middle of admiring my hair right when my sister Hanabi came in.
"Hinata! Can I borrow a ribbon?!" Hanabi walked around me, scavenging through my drawer. "Tie this one in my hair" she pulled out a bright blood red ribbon, "you mean please, right?" I fix her way of speech.
'Ugh...' "Please...Tie this ribbon in my hair" she begged clapping her hands together the ribbon flowing freely between them. "Okay just turn around" I start tying her hair in a fluffy ponytail with the ribbon.
"Turn, so I can see" I state as she does a 360 spin on one foot. "So how do I look?" She stated, I looked her up and down. Today she wore a button up white dress, with a red belt around her waist. Red and white thigh long stockings and black laced boots.
I nodded "cut cute, you look adorable!" I hugged my sister. "Yeah I know, but you clean up well yourself" she blushed furiously 'but it's not like you even need to.'
"You're too kind Hanabi" I squeezed her closer to me in a tight embrace. Today I wore a pink shoulder slip sweater, along with skinny blue jeans and just like my sister matching black laced boots.
"Hinata do you want me to walk you to school?" Neji Nii-san opened my door peeking in, I gave him a small frown "no I'm okay."
"Alright I'll head to school first," I heard the click of the door as Hanabi followed him out. 'Ugh, I am such an Idiot, of course, she doesn't want to go to school with me. Stupid, stupid, stupid.'
Okay, you probably think I'm cruel to Neji, but I'm not I just don't want him to get involved with all this bullying and stuff, same with Tenten and Lee-sama. They are my only freinds, but only when were out of school.
So when I said I didn't have any freinds, it wasn't really a lie. No matter how strong they were, and trust me they were strong, I know they can take care of themselves. I just didn't want them getting hurt even the slightest cause of me.
So I made the rule, no hanging out with me in school. Alright, see i'm not that cruel, I grabbed my light blue shoulder sling messenger bag. Slinging it over my shoulder, I hugged my father before leaving.
When I made it to the school gate, as always so they wouldn't recognize me I disguised myself. Today I wore a black beanie and glasses, no would ever recognize me. "You know that makes you look more suspicious than usual, right?"
I jumped almost like ten feet in the air "what the hell Shino! I'm trying to keep a low profile" I practically fumed at this guy. Today he dressed no different just a change of colors, a gray hoodie, and black jeans, don't forget the sunglasses and surgical mask he never took off.
I sighed taking my glasses off, okay I may have over exgeratted when I said no one would recognize me. As always Shino found me, "are you stalking them those three, again?"
"Uuh no, I'm watching them, jeesh get it right" I turned around back to my targets. No not targets, I was more like a guardian angel watching over her three young ones. Yes that's how I liked to think about, stalking...Pfffftttt... That just sounded absurd.
'Great weirdo, just the girl I was hoping for' Ugh... Kiba's thoughts just entered my head, and why was he looking for me. And i'm pretty sure he wouldn't have found me if it wasn't for Shino, I eyed Shino with distaste.
Still, it didn't seem to mind him as Kiba came over, "Shino who are you talking to?" He smirked knowing full well he was talking to me. I crossed my arms giving him my full attention, "calm down sweet cheeks, I didn't know it was you."
Sweet cheeks...Now that's a new one, what the heck did he want? "I was just talking to my freind" another lie spilled from his mouth with ease, and Shino was distracted watching something.
"Anyway's the truth is, I could use your help with something" Kiba practically rattled on and on about Neji and not being satisfied with his position on the team. But I practically ignored him, as I turned to see Naruto Uzamaki walking right toward me!
Oh, my god! Was I like a male magnet today, whatever it was, it can't end like this. So I totally bailed, I just entered the classroom and surprisingly Kakashi sensei was early. He seemed to be drinking coffe while reading his favorite book 'Make Out Paradise.'
"Aah Hinata...Your early" He sat down his book as I took my seat "I could say the same Kakashi" I took my two notebooks out, one was for homework and the others were to observe Sakura and her lovers.
"Well you know what they say, the early bird gets the worm" he gave slight smile, well those words were a lot coming from him. I gave a slight snort as the rest of the class filed into the room.
"Well I guess it's time for class isn't it" Kakashi-sensei stood up setting his book in his drawer. After a boring class, I was just about to leave when Kakashi-sensei totally ruined my day. "Oh one more, out of all my classes I want you to choose one subject and do an experiment to prove if it's true or false. It can be any kind of experiment."
"So your saying we can even use something like... Ramen" Naruto raised an eyebrow as he thought this over, "yes Naruto, even ramen as along as it proves something."
"Oh yeah it'll prove something it would prove that it's delicious" he whispered to Sakura loud enough for Sasuke to hear, causing them both to moan. He's going to need help with that subject, "oh and one more thing," everybody looked up as he passed them a paper with each subject on it.
If you didn't know Kakashi was our science teacher, "your going to be doing this in teams of two," he grabbed a box off the desk shaking it. "Well leave this up to luck shall be class, we'll start in alphabetical order, Choji."
Okay, there is a list of people I don't want as my partner. One Ino, duh cause Ino is the number one person that doesn't like me. Two Kiba, honestly cause I hate that guy with a burning passion. Three Shino, cause he's just a freak.
And last but not least Naruto, Two reasons, one cause all of a sudden he wants to talk to me which can't be a good thing. And Two, cause as much as I loved the guy it's because...He's an idiot.
Now there was also a list of people I do want on my team. One Sasuke, cause he was just dang sexy I mean who wouldn't want him as a partner, he was even smart.
Two would be Sakura, she isn't like others who discriminate against me, and plus side she was the smartest girl in school.
Three Choji, People call him fat but I really like the guy, he's a pretty guy. And last but not least Shikamaru, he's a double edged blade, one he'll be all like what a drag.
' This sounds like such a drag...'
There it was! As annoying as that was, he was still incredibly smart, I don't even know why he's still in high school. After grabbing our piece of paper, with our numbers, I was stuck with the one person I didn't want be with right now.
Great, now i'm stuck with Naruto, "That will be all, the assignment is on next monday, 6 days from now." Why god, Why do you hate me?!
"Hey Sasuke, looks like i'm your partner" Sakura clings to Sasuke's arm "looks like it."
'Chaa, you go girl!'
"Hey Hinata!" I practically jumped I was about to bail when Naruto grabbed my arm, "calm down I just wanna talk..."
I think that about sums it up to where I am in this little tale of mine. But oh crap, this was never supposed to happen, I was supposed to be the guardian angel. You know the one that protects them but they never get to see, now I feel like a fairy godmother, why do you hate me, god?!
After I seemed to calm down Naruto finally let my arm go, I could feel the tingles up my back and the lost of warmth where his hand used to be. "Any who, so you're my partner right?"
I nodded shyly hanging my head so he couldn't see my face. He took a chair seating in it backwards, "so when should we meet up?"
This surprised me, oh wait he probably meant for the asignment, nevermind. "How about after school tommorow? I mean only if it's fine with you!"
"Sounds cool, at your house or mine?" Okay, there was no way I was going to a boys house, espicially when he lived alone, hasn't Naruto watched any anime, when the girl go's over to the boy's house and then everything becomes a misunderstanding.
"How about mine" He nodded before jumping after Sasuke and Sakura. "You guy's didn't even wait" He wrapped his arm around Sasuke's neck, "ugh Naruto!"
'Man only if I was a guy, then I could do that all I want.'
Good for you Sakura, I mean you got what you want. While I'm standing left behind, it's like someone's trying to pull me out of my hibernation. While me the bear just wants to rest in his safe place.
Oh well cause all I wanna do is go home and forget this ever happened, and I did until the next morning.
