Approaching her room she heard loud voices coming from inside...One she could identify as Ino, as well and another loud female and a loud male. Hinata suddenly became nervous. Sure her dorm was co-ed, but she didn't think there would be boys in her room already. Sure she just had dinner with a guy...and older, intelligent, and nice guy...but on the whole she was very shy around men as she didn't have much interaction with them. Except for her strict father, and her perfect and cold cousin, who seemed to scare off every guy who came near her. though Hinata knew deep down her cousin Neji was a kind person, though a bit overprotective of her and Hanabi.

Gulping Hinata opened the door to the room she shared with Ino to see it full of people! Ino stood up and greeted Hinata, "Hey there! I was wondering when you would come back! These are some of my friends from high school! The girl with the big forehead and pink hair is Sakura," "What was that Ino-pig!" said pink haired girl screamed. "Quiet! I'm not done!" Ino yelled back. "The blond bum stuffing his face with ramen is Naruto," Ino said while pointing to a boy sitting on the ground surrounded by empty ramen cups. Looking up he grinned at Hinata, who thought she would faint from his gorgeous smile and his brilliantly blue eyes. "He and Sakura have been dating since our senior year in high school" Ino continued.

"Yeah, after years of asking her out she finally said yes to me!" Naruto said as he tackled Sakura in a hug. "Of course I did you idiot! You wouldn't stop till I said yes!" Sakura said while hitting Naruto on the head, with a slight blush on her face.

The two looked cute together, though Hinata was a bit jealous. Naruto was so handsome and lively. Sakura was beautiful too so she could see why Naruto would want to be with a girl like Sakura.

"The bum asleep is my boyfriend Shikamaru and his best friend Choji is the one munching on the chips," Ino continued.

"I'm not alseep, its just you guys aren't talking about anything interesting," the body on the bed said. Rolling over to turn his back to the group it looked like he reall y was going to go to sleep. Hinata looked at hte larger man eating chips on Ino's bed. He merely offered his chips to her before shoving more into his mouth.

"And the gorgeous guy with no social skills is Sasuke." Ino said pointing to the person sitting on Hinata's bed. Hinata turned to her bed and she had to admit the guy was gorgeous. Raven black spiky hair, pale skin, a muscular body, he had all the looks to be a model. Though he was scary! He just stared at Hinata, like he was trying to burn a hole in her head. It reminded Hinata of how her cousin Neji stared at everyone.

"I hope you don't mind him on your bed Hinata" Ino said. "We kinda ran out of room in here."

"It-its okay." Hinata said moving to sit on her bed. Sasuke continued to stare at her wondering if she would attack him or swoon like most other girls. It had taken years for Ino and Sakura to stop stalking him and he was thankful they had boyfriends to keep them in line. He figured she was sitting next to him on purpose, despite the fact he was sittting on her bed.

Setting herself as far away from Sasuke, Hinata turned to the others in the room. Ino certainly had alot of friends at this University. Hinata hoped they would be friendly with her as well, never actually having had friends of her own before. Well maybe not Sasuke who was still staring at her. She was begining to get even more nervous and scooted further away from him. At least she was used to Neji being cold and scary, but she defiantely wasn't used to Sasuke.

Ino noticed how Sasuke was staring at Hinata and sighed. "Hey Sasuke! Knock it off!" Turning to Hinata she said, "Sorry Hinata, as I said, he has no social skills."

Hinata giggled at that. "I-its okay Ino. My cousin is a bit like that so I'm used to it alittle."

Sasuke scowled at that comment. Okay so she didn't latch onto him or faint, and she had a nice quiet voice and her laugh was cute. Wait no he did not just think that about a person who insulted him. At least she was easy to ignore. And he decided he would just ignore her for the rest of the night. Maybe she will go away, completely forgetting that he was in her room.

"Well then, now that introductions are out of the way lets have some fun!" Ino shouted. "Afterall we just have orientation tomorrow and buying books and that boring stuff, no classes yet!" Turning her attention to Hinata Ino asked," That's okay right Hinata? You don't have to get up early do you?"

HInata blushed at being put on the spot. She did want to wake up early to meet Kurenai, but she didn't want to ruin the fun. "W-well I guess its okay." She said with her eyes downcast.

Noticing this Ino said, "We'll just chat for a bit and then we'll leave so you can goto bed when you're tired, how bout that?"

Hinata nodded. She was happy Ino seemed to be understanding. She could see how Ino would be a good psychologist.

"All right!" Sakura exclaimed. "So Hinata, tell us about yourself! Like what are you planning on studying? I'm in the advanced nursing course. Naruto and Shikamaru are undecided and Choji is in the culinary program." "Yeah and the jerk Sasuke is in the business program." Naruto said interrupting Sakura. "Don't call Sasuke a jerk, you jerk!" Sakura said while punching Naruto on the head. "Owwww...Sakura how could you hit your boyfriend like that?" Naruto said while rubbing the sore spot.

Hinata giggled again. They were certainly lively. "I-I'm in the nursing program too, but my entrance scores weren't high enough for me to be in the advance class. And I'm minoring in business since my father wants me to."

"Hmmm, so you'll be seeing Sasuke alot in class then, huh?" Naruto said.

"Oh, um I don't know. It will depend on the classes we choose I guess." Hinata softly said.

"Why are you here?" Sasuke suddenly said staring at the girl.

"Eh? Um I'm sorry?" Hinata said a bit worried.

The room went quiet at Sasuke's harsh words. "You're a Hyuga. So why aren't you going to Hyuga University?"

"Oh. Um I-I wanted to do nursing and Hyuga U. doesn't offer that. And um..."

"Don't be an ass!" Naruto yelled glaring at Sasuke. "She can go here if she wants to!"

"Shut up Narutard. All Hyugas goto Hyuga U. for free. So why the hell isn't she going there!?!" Sasuke glared back at Naruto.

"I-i made a deal with my f-father..." Hinata whispered her face heating up."H-he said I can go here and he'll pay i-if I minor i-in business a-at least. I-its a-always b-been my dream to b-be a n-nurse."

Sasuke scowled. He was supposed to be ignoring her. Why did he care what colege she went to. Standing up he muttered, "Whatever." And left the room.

Concerned eyes were on the Hyuga. "Hey Hinata are you okay? I'm so sorry about that! Sasuke just can be that way, especially with new people." Sakura said. 'If you want I'll beat him up for you!" Naruto said with a smile. "Yeah! No one can talk to my roommate like that!" Ino said.

Hinata smile and her eyes started to tear up. They were accepting her as a friend.

Seeing the girl cheer up Sakura decided to lighten the atmosphere. "So Hinata, you've got to tell me what yo do to your hair to get it to shine so!" "Ha!" Ino said with a grin, "Sakura is in love with her hair, despite the fact her shampoo turns it bright pink! That sooo can not be good you!" "I'll have you know that pink is the new IN color for the fall!" Sakura proudly said.

The boys groaned. So the girls were gonna talk about this all night.

"How troublesome" Shikamaru said as he turned over to go back to sleep.
