Please read the A/N at the end.
Enjoy!


Hinata rubbed both of her eyes. Blinking her eyes a few more times—to make sure her God-given-perfect-Hyuga-eyes weren't failing her—, her eyes adjusted back to its normal vision. Okay, her mind isn't playing tricks on her. Her eyes traveled along his face, noting in her mind the changes in his physical appearance since she'd last seen him. Hinata was soon interrupted by a low chuckle.

"It's wrong to stare Hinata."

Hinata's pale skin was soon tinted by a blush. "A-ah—S-sorry…" Hinata heard him chuckle once more. She sheepishly tucked her lose strand behind her ear. Wait, did she just hear herself stutter? The last time she stuttered was when she had her first intimate session with Sasuke. She shrugged the thought away, composing herself, she looked at him again. "Gaara, you look—"

"Cool? Handsome? Amazing? I know." He smirked when she giggled at him. "Aren't you gonna give me a hug?" He opened his arms to her.

"I was going to say that you look more mature from the last time I've seen you—actually scratch that—you're still the same. You're still too full of yourself." Hinata laughed as she stood up her seat and made her way to the side of Gaara's seat, positioning herself in between his open arms, wrapping her arms around his torso while Gaara enveloped his arms around her small figure. A snap was heard. Hinata knew what that meant so she broke away from Gaara's hug and returned to her seat.

Gaara sneaked some glances from the other side of the room—specifically to his classmates seated on the last row. He raised a curious brow at them before turning back to Hinata. "What was that about?"

Hinata sighed heavily."Just ignore them. They're most likely trying to create some rumor." She looked around, noticing that her classmates were just idly talking to one another. "Speaking of which, where is Danzo-sensei?"

"Weren't you listening Hina?" Hinata cringed at the sound of her old nickname—since he was the only one who called her that—it brought back some supposedly-forgotten memories. "He gave us a free period since there's a faculty meeting or something…"

Gaara stared at the indigo-haired beauty in front of him. He knew that she was troubled by something. Recalling what she previously told him—'they're most likely trying to create some rumor'—after their hug it might have been their classmates. Is she bullied around here? She even looked troubled a while ago—way before he initiated a conversation with her.

"Are you okay Hina?" He reached to touch her face, but before his palm could touch her cheek, Hinata pulled away with her head down. He pulled his hand back. "Is something—someone—bothering you?" His tone sounded serious.

Hinata's head jerked up. He might have misunderstood her, and it wasn't good to get Gaara angry—he's just like Sasuke—over-protective and short-tempered. She waved her hands around, "No, no! It's just… you know… uhmm…" her head shifting back down to stare at the floor. She didn't want to tell him what's going on with her life right now. It was improper to tell him that problem since he's… Brushing off some thoughts, she leaned back to the wall placing her arm on the back of her chair.

"What's wrong Hinata?" His tone changed to something more subtle but demanding.

Hinata sighed heavily. "I just… I had a fight with my…my boyfriend." She turned her head to the left, not wanting to see his reaction to her sudden statement.


"Ino used my phone to interrogate him… and then when I read his replies it was like he doesn't care at all, so I vented out all my worries while texting him…"

"So basically, you started the fight?" A brow rose.

"I—Yes—No—I don't know—He thinks I don't trust him. I do trust him but it's that manager I can't—"

"Dude, you can't blame Hinata! That bitch has been hating on Hinata ever since she and Sasuke became a thing! Actually it's not only that bitch, but like half of the girl's population was out to get Hinata!" Ino butted in. "Right there is a level for stalkers? There's closet stalker, stalker, creepy stalker and ultimate stalker—and she's like Sasuke's ultimate stalker! She was also one of the co-founders of the official 'WE LOVE UCHIHA SASUKE' fan club! Heck—she even became the team's manager just to get close to him. Honestly, sometimes I wonder what Hinata and the other women see in Sasuke… Anways, that's fine. I'd rather have Itachi—that piece of hot stuff, yum—all to myself! Minus the other fan girls, of course." Ino grinned.

Hinata lightly punched Ino's arm. Ino chuckled. "What? I'm just stating the fact here."

"Aren't you in a relationship, Yamanaka?"

"Yes love-boy, I am, weren't you listening a while ago. And I do like Naruto, but is it wrong to have a crush on someone? It's not like I'm cheating on him or anything." Ino rolled her eyes and took a slurp on her apple juice box.

Gaara stared at the blonde sitting in front of him. "As a matter of fact it's wrong. In your mind you are cheating on him."

Ino raised one of her perfectly shaped eyebrows at the red head opposite of her and beside Hinata. Resting her left elbow on top of the stone table, she rested her face on her palm and faced Hinata. "Hey Hinata, I think your friend's 'down there' is replaced by a twat. He talks—err comments—like a girl."

Hinata's face flustered as Ino's comment attracted unwanted stares from random students in the area. "I-Ino!"

Gaara crossed his arms and rested it on top of the stone table. "I can hear you, you know."

"I know and I don't care." Ino rolled her eyes and resumed sipping her drink, ignoring the glare she's receiving from the red-head. Hinata cleared her throat and stared at Ino. After 15 minutes of introducing the two to each other, they're already at each other's throat. Ino, feeling the stare of Hinata, stared back with a 'What did I do?' look. Hinata shook her head and Ino sighed. She crumpled her now empty juice box and stood up heading for the garbage can.

She observed the two who were talking to each other, their conversation inaudible to her ears. She noticed the look Gaara would give to Hinata, and in some instances, she would notice the same look from Hinata as well. Her eyes narrowed. She's definitely hiding something from me… She thought to herself. They don't look like childhood friends to me… Might as well ask Mr. Prez later…

She called out to the two—more likely to Hinata—who were at a good 15 feet away from her, "I'm heading to the rooftop. You coming Hinata?"

"I'll—we'll follow!" With Hinata's reply, Ino took her leave and headed to the Akatsuki's hang out place.


"I never thought you were the possessive type of person…" Gaara started as Ino made her way to the garbage can. He smirked at Hinata. "When we—"

She cut him off knowing where the conversation was leading to. "I'm not! It's just… his fangirls… can really go over board." She looked down at her hands as she fiddled with the ends of her blue and red plaited skirt.

"Is his fangirls hurting you?" Gaara looked at Hinata, his eyes filled with concern.

Hinata shook her head lightly, making her indigo locks follow every movement of her head. She raised her head and smiled at Gaara. "Sasuke made it clear to them that if they touch a single hair of mine, he'll hunt them down one by one." She chuckled lightly. "And there's Neji-nii, Ino and the others."

"So his fangirls are just trying to break you two up?"

She nodded. Her hands then shifted to play with the empty coffee cup.

"Well," He smirked. "I'm here—"

He was cut off. "I'm heading to the rooftop. You coming Hinata?" Gaara's eyes shifted to the blonde who's 15 feet away from them.

"I'll—we'll follow!" Hinata called back. Gaara watched as the blonde disappeared from his view.

"What's going on at the rooftop?"

"That's the Akatsuki's hang out place…" She glanced at the rose gold Cartier watch that is wrapped around her right wrist. 40 minutes have passed since their first period for the day ended. Not wanting to hear what he was going to say before Ino had cut him off, she started, "We have 20 minutes left till the next period starts… Let's go?" Gaara nodded. She stood up from the stone bench and smoothen the wrinkles of her skirt. She then waited for the red-head as he threw the empty coffee cups in the garbage bin.


Ino was fiddling with her phone as she made her way through the hallways of the Namikaze Building—donated by Namikaze Minato, Naruto's father, exclusively for the use of the juniors of the high school department.

"Yamanaka."

She turned her head to see the person she was planning to look for. She locked her phone and slid it in her skirt's pocket. "Just the person I was looking for." Ino grinned at Hyuga Neji, who stopped a few meters away from her.

Neji raised a brow at the blonde in front of him. He coughed. "Your skirt. The length of your skirt is against the rules."

Ino rolled her eyes. "Oh, pish posh Mr. Prez."

"If you don't fix your uniform, I'm writing you an offense." He stated. "It'll be your 5th minor offense. And five minor offenses are equivalent to one major offense which can lead to suspension. "

"Tch." She scrunched her face. I forgot how this guy is strict with the school rules. She hesitantly unfolded the folds of her skirt, once done, it now reached the tips of her middle finger when both of her arms were rested on her sides.

Satisfied with how Ino fixed her uniform, "Good. Now, what do you want?"

Forgetting Neji's earlier 'every-time-I-see-Ino-should-be-a-scolding-session', she started her question, "Do you know Sabaku Gaara?"

"Yeah, why?"

"Who is he to you?"

"Childhood friend."

"To Hinata?"

"Childhood friend and ex."

"Oh…"

"You just wasted my time to ask about Gaara?" Neji scoffed. "I'm leaving."

So she was telling the truth… He is just her childhood friend… She thought to herself, ignoring the comment Neji gave. Then she realized he said something after childhood friend. Wait! "Hold on!" She grabbed his left arm to prevent him from leaving. "What did you say again?"

Neji glared at the blonde from the corner of his eye. He pulled his arm back. "I said, I'm leaving."

"No! The one before that." Ino made her way in front of Nej, facing him again.

"You just wasted—"

"No! The other one!" She roared, earning stares from the by-standers.

"Pipe it down Yamanaka. You're disturbing the other students." Neji scolded. Neji cleared his throat, "I said, he is her childhood friend and ex."

Clearly hearing what Neji said, Ino's jaw literally fell wide open.


"Where's Ino?" the indigo-haired beauty scanned the rooftop, looking for her blonde best friend.

"She's not here yet." Suddenly, someone appeared behind Hinata, wrapping both arms around her shoulders, resting a chin on top of her head. "I've missed you Hinata-chan!"

Hinata giggled at her upperclassman's antics. "I've missed you too Yahiko-senpai." Gaara's eyes narrowed at the person hugging Hinata. Hinata turned around, giving back a friendly hug to her orange-haired upperclassman. "When did you get back?" Yahiko released her from his hug.

"Just this morning. I was suppose to be back by yesterday, but my flight got delayed by a rain storm. You know how it is in Amegakure." Yahiko felt the stare—glare—of a certain red-head. "Now who might you be?" He raised a brow.

"Oh! I'm sorry." Hinata cleared her throat and positioned herself between Gaara and Yahiko. "Yahiko-senpai, meet Gaara. Gaara, meet Yahiko-senpai." She turned to Yahiko. "Gaara's my childhood friend. He just transferred from Subaku Academy." She turned to Gaara. "Yahiko-senpai's the leader of the Akatsuki."

"Nice to meet you kid." Yahiko offered a hand to Gaara.

Gaara ignored the hand offered to him, "Likewise." He turned back to face Hinata.

Yahiko's eyebrows twitched. Brat! If you weren't Hinata's friend, I would've pummeled you down by now. Yahiko retreated his hand.

Hinata noticed her upperclassman's irritation towards the red-head. "I'll introduce you to the rest." She grabbed Gaara's right arm with her left hand, while with her other hand, she grabbed Yahiko's left arm. "Let's go, Yahiko-senpai."


Ino shoved Neji into an empty classroom located near the staircase of the second floor of the building.

"Wait! Wait! So does that mean Gaara was Hinata's boyfriend?! Her first boyfriend to be exact?!"

"Yes, Yamanaka. Can you stop shouting? One Naruto is enough for both my ears to listen to, I don't need another one." Neji irritatedly glared at Ino.

"Oh. My. Gosh."

"I'm leaving." He headed for the door.

"Wait! Last question!" Ino blocked the door with her foot. "Why did they break up? I mean seeing that they are in good terms, why?"

"Look Yamanaka, I have no time nor have the right to talk to you about Hinata's love life. If you want to know about them, ask Hinata, not me." With that he forcefully opened the door, which pretty much left Ino unbalanced—with her foot forced back to her.

What the hell's his problem? I was just asking!

The first bell rang. Indicating that the next period's about to start in 10 minutes. Ino made her way out of the room and out of the senior's building. She couldn't believe it. She was taking the path leading to the Sarutobi Building—exclusively for the use of sophomores of the high school department. Her best friend just kept her deepest darkest secret from her! Well, it's not really Hinata's deepest darkest secret but still!


The bell just rang, indicating that the second period for the day just ended. Ino made her way out of her history class and headed to the third floor of the building for her AP Literature class. Third period's about to start in a few minutes, but Ino just can't wait for the third period of the A-day, to get done and over with. She needs to interrogate her best friend as soon as lunch break starts. She proceeded to sit in her usual seat—third to the last row, near the window—, she stared at the empty seat next to her, eyes narrowed. Between the two, Hinata's usually the first to arrive in their class, and today, their roles have been switched just when the mysterious red-head—shows his face—transferred in.

The blonde rested her elbows on the table then rested her chin on top of her palms. Things are getting very complicated ever since the two got into a lover's quarrel. In her mind, she listed down the events that happened during the entire week.

Sunday: Yahiko-senpai flies to Amegakure for his cousin's wedding; Monday: I initiate the 'interrogation' of Sasuke, then they have their lover's quarrel; Tuesday: Sai's sketch pad of the clique went missing—got stolen; Wednesday: shots of Sasuke in the men's bathroom—the shots containing: when he was headed to the 2nd floor's men's restroom, when he was zipping down his pants, when he was just standingwhich meant that he was peeing, when he noticed that he was already being peeped at, when he turned very red while trying to zip his pants up, and a blurry shot when he was trying to reach for the camera (it's a good thing none of it contained a shot of his 'down there')—were uploaded in the WE LOVE UCHIHA SASUKE website; Thursday: Finally had an intimate session with Naruto after a few days of abstinence, then Naruto got bullied by Dei-nii; Friday: love-boy's transferred in our school.

The second bell rang, indicating that the current class period should commence.

"Ino, are you okay?"

Ino faced her body towards Hinata. "There is something you're not telling me Hinata."

"What?"

"Don't pretend like you don't know what I'm talking about…" Her eyes squinted at her indigo-haired friend.

"I really don't know what you're talking about Ino."

Ino sighed. "Gaara." She said in a low volume, so that it can only be audible to Hinata.

"What about him?"

The blonde sighed. Ino pulled Hinata towards her. "That he's your ex-boyfriend." She whispered into Hinata's ear.

Hinata hastily pulled back. "How did you—"

"Neji." Ino fixed her posture, flipping her hair back with the back of her hand. "Why didn't you tell me?"

"You didn't ask, so I thought…" Hinata sighed. "It is true that he is my childhood friend, and it'll be weird for me to say 'This is Gaara he is my ex.'" Hinata pursed her lips.

"You do have a point. Okay, fine. I'm sorry. I overreacted." Ino chuckled.

Hinata chuckled back. "I'm also sorry for not telling you about him."

"Okay, so shoot out Hinata." Ino giddily scooted near Hinata. But before Hinata could tell her story, their literature teacher came in the room.

"Sorry for being late class, got held up by a brooding student from my previous class." Jiraiya cleared his throat and started roll-call.

"During lunch." Ino whispered to Hinata. Hinata lightly chuckled and nodded.


New Hottie's making a move on THE Princess!

Attention ladies, a new hottie's in town! He's hot, handsome, hot, cool, hot, and did I mention that he's H-O-T! Fresh new hottie goes by the name Sabaku Gaara (refer to the picture at the center)—17 years of age born on the nineteenth day of the first month of the year. He's the youngest of three siblings (for more information about Gaara, check the Student's Information Tab). Transferring from the prestigious all-boys Sabaku Academy (obviously), purpose still unknown (but I'll get back to you on that), it surely looks like he got the best transfer greeting from non-other than the Hyuga Princess! Sighted a while ago by Students A,B&C (refer to the pictures above), Gaara received a big warm hug from Hinata! And according to Students D&E, he's been flirting with her non-stop for the whole period—even attempting to touch her face (refer to the pictures below)—he even made her giggle! Not once, not twice! But many times! As we all know, no one makes the Princess giggle publicly, except for her close friends and her still-boyfriend—Sasuke! I'm guessing that he'll probably end up in Neji's, the Akatsuki's, and obviously Sasuke's black book… since, this is one of Hinata's suitors we're talking about. Actually scratch that, he most definitely is in their black book. Anyways, welcome to Konoha Academy and best of luck Gaara! Lots of love! Teehee~!

Sasuke locked his phone. Just who the fuck is this guy to hug Hinata?! Getting close to his girlfriend like that! And what the hell is his girlfriend doing? Giving out hugs like that! Is it 'free hugs' day?! As far as he knows, she only gave hugs to the people she's close with—even though he hates it whenever she gives her hugs to their friends—those petite arms are his and his only! Hell to sharing her arms to a stranger!

"Woah! The newbie's got some balls!" Naruto exclaimed looking at the screen of Suigetsu's phone.

Suigetsu shifted away from Naruto, "The hell man! Don't talk when your mouth's full! You're getting your crap all over me!" Suigetsu growled, he 'dusted off' crumbs of God-knows-what from his uniform.

"Can't you two morons keep it down? I'm trying to sleep here." The lazy bum of the group spoke out, while his school blazer covered part his face, shielding his eyes from the suns rays. Suigetsu and Naruto retorted to Shikamaru's comment.

Sasuke shook his head, ignoring the ruckus the two airheads is causing. He doesn't have time for their usual lunch-time-conniption. Hell, he's got a 'fanboy'—he thinks every guy who he isn't friends with, but 'hangs' with Hinata without his approval, is a fanboy—waiting to be castrated! But… how can I find this fanboy?


Sasuke glared. The fanboy that he's been looking for since lunch break, is in the same AP Accouting class he's enrolled in.

He watched the red-head as he proceeded to the empty seat that is a row in front of him, a two seats away from his right. As soon as the red-head sat down, girls started whispering about the red-head. He heard 'cool', 'hot', 'handsome', and 'charming' in between their lines. Tch. Handsome my ass. He looks like he's deprived from sleep. He relaxed his body comfortably on his seat, both hands in his uniform's pocket, legs stretched out under the table. His attention shifted towards the view outside the , it wasn't like he was interested in listening to what they're gossiping about, he's just trying to 'get' some information of his girlfriend's fanboy.

He heard roll-call. "Uchiha."

"Hn." His usual answer came out. A few more names were called out, but being himself, he just resumed his attention to the view outside.

Suddenly, he felt a glare. Coolly, he scanned his onyx eyes around the room, then his gaze went back to the window. As calculated, it's from the red-head. Being Uchiha Sasuke, he's never been glared at by most of the people, let alone by strangers—they're usually the ones staring at awe or jealousy because of his 'perfect genes.' And yes, the only people who dare glare at him, belong within his circle... but no one, outside his circle, in their right mind dared to. He's the one usually giving out the infamous Sasuke glare, and this red-head just had to break the system.

He coolly straightened his poise. Then, he gave his deadliest glare to the red-head. A few seconds, which seemed like hours, after their glares met, the red-head shifted his gaze back to their Accounting teacher. Sasuke almost laughed at his victory in their 'mini-glaring contest'. The red-head was caught off-guard by his infamous glare and Sasuke swore he saw him flinch a little.

He smirked. Me: 1; Fanboy: 0.


A/N:

1. Thank you for all the reviews/faves/alerts for the second chapter. I really appreciate it. And a longer chapter's been given to you. Sasuke's point of view's suppose to be part of chapter four but since you guys made me happy, it became a 100 percent bump. (chapters 1&2's approximately 1, 400 words each. but this chapter's 3, 976 words without the author's note). And remember that I told you that I've finished writing this story? Should I make chapters 4&5 longer, since originally chapter 4 is 1, 758 words and chapter 5 is 2, 402 words?

2. This is the high school department's time table:

7:00-7:50 first period
8:00-8:50 break
10:00-10:50 second period
11:00-11:50 third period
12:00-12:50 lunch period
1:00-1:50 fourth period
2:00-2:50 fifth period

Each year level has 10 subjects each. 1 homeroom, 4 mandatory subjects, and 5 electives. Also, I'm following the Japanese K-12 education. So unlike the usual 6th-8th grade middle school and 9th-12th grade high school, it's 7th-9th grade middle school and 10th-11th grade high school.

3. If you guys have any confusion in my explanation, please don't hesitate to ask. Also if there's any grammatical errors, please tell me so I can fix it. Thanks for reading again and don't forget to review :D
