Like I said, there are oc in this fic. Yeah, if you don't like one or two of them, maybe I might cut them out.

I probably won't update this one much, but I'm still going to continue it. It's probably just going to be something I work on in my free time. And if I have a lot on my mind and have to get it out. It's more of I'm doing this for me.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Chapter 2- The First Day

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Hinata checked her backpack for everything that was on her list: notebooks, pencils, pens, erasers, colored pencils, ruler, calculator, and her folders. When she was sure that everything was safe within the bag, she pulled the zipper close and pulled it over her shoulder unto her back.

Hanabi walked by the door to Hinata's room. "You're fussing too much," she said. "It should be just fine."

Hinata sighed, trying to calm herself down. "I guess… I just hope that this year will…"

She made a smile and tried to focus on school again. "I'm going to be late if I wait any longer."

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Hinata looked around. The auditorium was packed with freshmen trying to find a seat. She was looking for a patch of blonde hair, and possibly a pink one next to it. When she was unsuccessful in her search, she took the nearest chair and sat down, hugging her backpack. Then, someone sat next to her. She could tell from the sound of the voice that it was a girl, but she was too shy to turn her head.

"Hurry up, Hema," she said. "I saved you a seat."

"Thanks a lot, Hane," Hema answered. "Just wait until Hissori-kun finds out we followed him to Konoha! I bet he's going to get so freaked." She giggled. "I hope he doesn't get too mad at us."

When Hinata realized she was eavesdropping on them, she stopped herself. Then, she turned her attention back to finding where Naruto was. But, pretty soon, she gave up again.

When all had settled down into their seats, Tsunade stepped up to the microphone on the stage. Immediately, the auditorium silenced. Tsunade crossed her arms and spoke to the freshmen. "I'm not going to waste any time. This is your first year in high school. There will not be any fooling around. Any one who has ever gone to our school will tell you how high our standards are. Any one who disobeys the rules will have to face the proper consequence. For the first semester of freshman year, a few of the teachers might go easy on you as you make the transition into high school, but there will never be an excuse good enough for me to disregard any improper behavior…"

She just kept going on, as any principal would do on the first day of school after a summer without yelling at the student. Tsunade was more firm with her voice, though, as most other principals are.

"… but if you work hard and stay focused, then you should be fine." She put on a smile. "Any questions? Good, you were all listening carefully. Now, Kakashi, Anko, Kurenai, and Gai will call out your names. Who ever calls your name will be your homeroom teacher. There are about fourteen people in each class… Go ahead, Kakashi."

Kakashi held his arm up to let everyone know where he was. He was standing near the door where they all came in through. "Class 9-1: Kiba Inuzuka… Neji Hyuga… Tenten… Hane Mezurashii…"

The girl sitting next to Hinata stood up to follow Kakashi. Hinata finally got a look at the new person. Her eyes were a rich color of brown, and her short hair was a color to match. Her hair was held in place by a black headband. She bit her thumb as she walked. Instead of wearing the usual uniform shirt with short sleeves, she was wearing the one with longer sleeves. Another difference in her uniform was that she wore the red knit vest that no one really wore anymore.

Kakashi finished reading the names from his list. Anko was taking her place at the door. Hinata bit her lip. She hadn't paid attention to whether or not Naruto had been called already.

Anko unfolded the piece of paper in her hands and read "Class 9-2: Hinata Hyuga…"

After hearing her name, Hinata grabbed her bag and stood up She couldn't get a good look at Hema, but she saw that she had brown hair, lighter than Hane's, and two small braids on either side of her head.

By the time Hinata got to where Anko was standing, she had already finished reading her list. Hinata bit her lip harder. She hadn't heard Naruto's name come up, but then again, she didn't listen to any of the other names that were called out after her own.

They followed Anko to into the hallway. Hinata looked around at the other people in her class. There was Ino, Shino, and Shikamaru. But she couldn't find him…

"Hey, Hinata!" Naruto yelled from behind. "So, we're in the same home room class this year, aren't we?"

Hinata almost jumped at the sound of his voice. She turned around. "N…Naruto-kun."

Anko suddenly appeared behind them. "No talking in the halls! Does everyone know where their locker is?"

Naruto looked at Hinata. She felt her cheeks burn as she turned the other direction. The form of her mouth had not changed since she had pronounced the final "n" sound in "Naruto-Kun".

She didn't say anything. After a while, she wasn't sure if Naruto was still at her side. But when she turned back around, he was still there, walking happily next to her. He was pulling on his tie. It looked like it was tied too tightly.

"Do you need help with that?" she asked shyly.

"You can tie it?" he asked. "Sakura tied it for me, but she was unwilling. I think she was trying to choke me."

She smiled. "I'll tie it later. Anko says not to talk in the hall way."

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
