I feel completely depressed right now because my brother is about to date this girl that I used to be friends with but now that she wants to get in my brother's pants I'm not a happy camper. Oh well, maybe writing can get me away from it…. Sorry if it's a crappy chapter. If it is, you know why.

I got up the next morning and stretched. My back popped a couple of times which felt really good. I got out of bed and went into my bathroom to do my usual morning routine. I quickly took a shower, brushed my teeth and then went back into my room.

I looked in my closet for something nice I could wear. Hm….

I ended up wearing some jeggings and a cami underneath a slouchy sweater. Then I grabbed my sketchbook and went downstairs and into my kitchen.

I grabbed a pad of paper and a pen and quickly wrote my dad a note. When I was done I glanced out the window. The sun was just rising over the horizon. Beautiful swirls of orange and hot pink spread across the sky. I tore my eyes away from the window and went out my back door.

I snuck around the side of my house and walked down the sidewalk to the park that was near my house.

I went up to my favourite hill. It was a little out of the way, but I'd never seen anyway else around it so I could draw in peace.

I sat down on the blanket I'd grabbed before I left and opened my sketchbook. I looked up at the sunrise and thought about what I wanted to draw. (Naruto, of course.)

I looked down at my paper and smoothed it out, and then I started to lightly sketch the outline of his face.

There. Perfect. I looked around. The sun was significantly higher than before. I stood up and stretched.

Suddenly, I heard some crashing noises and some swearing.

Then someone crashed through the bushes surrounding my hill. I jumped up and faced the person. A familiar head of spiky blonde hair poked out of the bushes.

"Naruto?" I asked. He looked up.

"Hinata! I didn't know I'd find you here!" he said as he tried to stand up. I walked over to him and helped him up.

"How did you find this place?" I asked him curiously. I had thought I'd been the only one to know about this place.

"Well a few years ago when I first started to run I stumbled across this place. I remembered it and I've been visiting it whenever I come back here." He explained.

"I'm surprised we never ran into each other. I've been coming here for years to draw." I said.

"You draw?" he asked surprised. I saw his eyes flick to my blanket with my sketchbook lying on top of it. Luckily, I had closed it when I first heard the crashing.

"Yeah… I'm ok." I said, modestly.

"Can I look at some of them?" he asked, already moving towards the blanket.

I grabbed his wrist to stop him. "No! I mean, they're really bad. No one's supposed to see them yet." I said.

"Oh, ok. I understand." He said. Then he looked down at where I had grabbed his wrist.

I blushed and hurriedly dropped his hand. "Sorry." I said. I looked down at my feet so I didn't have to look at his face.

"So…" I tried to think of something to talk about, other than my drawings and what had just happened. "You said you run? How far?" I finally asked him.

"Yeah, I run about five miles every day. Do you run?" he asked me. He walked over to the blanket and pushed my sketchbook to the side, and then he flopped down. I could tell he was still really curious about it but I'm glad he didn't push the matter.

He patted the space beside him, so I sat down gingerly beside him. Not too close, but not too far away.

"I run, but only about three miles. Nowhere near as much as you." I said.

"You should run with me sometime. That would be fun. How about tomorrow morning at… eight?" he asked.

I thought about it. "Ok, we can meet at the main gates of this park." I said.

"Sounds good to me. I might bring Kiba along too, because I'll be staying with him." he said.

"Kiba's really fast. I don't know if I'll be able to keep up. I don't want to slow you guys down." I said worriedly.

"Don't worry about it. I was gonna take it easy tomorrow anyway." He joked.

We sat in silence after that. It was a comfortable silence though. Even though we'd just met it already felt like we'd been friends forever.

I could smell Naruto, and let me just say he smelled really good. I could smell his boy-sweat but I could also smell the deodorant he was wearing. It smelled really good. I inhaled deeply and committed his scent to memory.

Suddenly, Naruto stood up, then bent over and rubbed his calves. "Well, I'm going to go. I gotta get back hoe because I'm going over to Kiba's house at lunch and I still have to take a shower. But I'll see you tomorrow."

"Ok, Naruto. I'll be ready for you at the gates. Don't forget!" I said as he started to run away.

I sighed. He was so out of my league.

When I got home Neji was waiting for me. "You were at the park." It wasn't a question.

"Yes… why?" I asked him.

"Next time you go, will you please tell me so I can go with you? It's not safe." He said.

"But I've never had to take anyone with me before." I argued.

"Yes, well that was before someone was attacked there." He said.

"Attacked?" I asked worriedly.

"Yes, attacked. Someone was stabbed multiple times this morning, luckily they're still alive. Maybe… you should just stop going to the park altogether. It's too dangerous."

"B-but I-" I started to say.

Neji cut me off. "No buts. You aren't allowed to go there again. At least until this person has been found."

"Fine." I said angrily and stomped up to my room. Great, now I wouldn't be allowed to go see Naruto tomorrow. Everyone in my house woke up at eight anyway so it'd be impossible to sneak out.

I quickly sent a text to Kiba.

Tell Naruto I can't make ittomorrow. Sorry. :/

I sighed and flopped backwards onto my bed. Stupid Neji, forbidding me to go places. What a jerk. I sighed again.

I got a text back except it was an unknown number. I opened the text.

That sucks that you can't go. I was looking forward to it. Maybe we all of us can do something else tomorrow then? Kiba is killing me. He's boring already.

-Naruto

I smiled. Now I had his number. Awesome. And he wanted to do something tomorrow *insert fan girl squeal here*.

I texted him back and said:

Sounds great. How about we meet up at the mall to hang out?

I tried not to watch my phone like a hawk while I waited for him to text back.

That sounds good. Lunchtime sound ok?

I thought about it. Sounded fine. I sent him an affirmative and he sent back Great.

I didn't text him back after that because I didn't want to sound clingy. I rolled off my bed and started plotting what I was going to wear tomorrow.

Ok, I know that was a kind of crappy ending but I had to end it somewhere. This chapter was getting on my nerves. Plus I'm really tired and I have school in the morning I'll try and work on the next chapter soon.

Love ya's! Bye! Oh, and the review button thinks you're a wonderful and beautiful person if you click on it :D
