Slight INOxSHIKA this chapter!

The four friends walked into the Math classroom and sat in their seats which wasn't next to each other.

"Ok, so when the teacher gives us a break I'm going to make my move o.k.?"Ino whispered as they walked in."You guys can figure out another time to do it later"she added. "Maybe when you're alone with them"

Tenten and Sakura nodded, but Hinata wasn't sure she could do it.

But when Sakura, Ino and Tenten all gave her reassuring smiles she relaxed a bit and had alittle more confidence in herself.

That is until SHE showed up.

"Well well well, if it isn't little miss crybaby"the bi- I mean girl called Rika said to Hinata.

Hinata in turn said nothing, but instead continued to look down at her lap.

Rika growled when she hadn't gotten an answer"Bitch I know you heard me!"She yelled at Hinata.

When she didn't get a answer again she started to grab Hinata's long indigo hair but a hand stopped her.

"Leave her alone Rika before I kick your ass!"yelled Sakura who had saw what had happened and rushed over. Tenten and Ino were behind her glaring at Rika.

Rika glared back at them before she sat down, knowing she was out numbered.

Sakura turned to Hinata with worried eyes."Hinata are you o.k.?"She asked sounding just as worried as she looked.

Hinata looked up at them and nodded slowly.

"Ok, if you say so"Tenten said before returning to her seat across the room. Sakura and Ino also returned to their seats.

"Good morning class" muttered Kakashi.(A/N:yes it's in the morning, they saw the poster because they had just gotten to school)

While the teacher was talking Hinata was in deep thought.

'what if he says no, I'll be so embarrassed. I probably wouldn't be able to show my face to him again!' Hinata thought.

'Don't say those type of things, all it does is mess up your self esteem' HC said.(A/N:HC means Hinata's conscience)

'who are you?'Hinata thought.

'I'm your conscience'HC said.

'My conscience?' Hinata thought.

'Yes, your conscience' HC said.

'Oh, what are you doing here?' Hinata thought.

'Hello! I'm your conscience! I'm supposed to be here for stuff like this!! stupid.' HC said.

'Hey! I thought you were supposed to make me feel better!' Hinata thought.

'Your not making it easy for me, anyway do you really like Naruto?' HC said.

'Y-yes i do' Hinata thought.

'Then what are you waiting for, if he doesn't like you, make him like you, that doesn't work move on I guess' HC said.

'Wooooow your big help' Hinata thought sarcastically.

'Yeah I know, now pay attention before the teacher notices you weren't' Hc said.

When Hinata snapped out of her thoughts she heard the teacher ask Naruto to answer a question on the board and his response was-

"UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUH! don't know...is it ramen" Naruto guessed. The class laughed (except Hinata and Rika)at Naruto stupidity.

"No it's not...ramen "Kakashi replied as the class snickered.

"Sasuke, can you tell me the answer to the equation?" said Kakashi, deciding to ask someone else.

"It's 64 "Sasuke replied in a bored voice.

"Correct, moving on" said.

When Sasuke answered the question Hinata could have sworn she saw Sakura smile at him with. She 'd have to ask her about that later.

With Ino: During Break

Ino sat next to Shikamaru trying to figure a out a way to wake him up.

"Shikamaru...wake up"

"....."

"WAKE UUUUUP."

SNORE

Ino's eyebrow twitched. That was it!"WAKE UP YOU IDIOT!!"She half yelled in his ear.

Startled Shikamaru jumped up."What was that for you troublesome woman!!"Shikamaru whisper yelled. Ino raised her eyebrows. He was actually yelling.....well kinda.

"Geez, I just wanted to ask you something"Ino said innocently.

Shikamaru sighed. "What is it?"he asked.

"Have you heard about the dance?"Ino asked, trying to be casual about it.

"Yeah?"Shikamaru replied, unsure of where this was going.

"Do you have a date yet?" Ino asked, secretly crossing her fingers.

"No not yet" Shikamaru yawned.

'YES!!' Ino thought and she gulped.'This is it' She thought."Um...well I was w-wondering if I c-could g-go with y-"Ino said but was cut off by Temari suddenly popping up out of nowhere yelling-

"HEY SHIKAMARU!!"Temari yelled as she slapped his back. It seemed as if she was purposely interrupting something.

'Why that little-' Ino started to think. But her thoughts were cut off as she heard Temari say something.

"Shikamaru, why are you talking to this loser?"Temari said while playing with his ponytail.

Ino growled."Better to be a loser than a half-brained idiot. I mean come on, your 19 in the 11th grade, pathetic" Ino shot back.

"Why you little-"Temari started but was cut off by Kakashi.

"Shouldn't you be in your seat?"he said.

Ino smirked at Temari. "Yeah shouldn't you be in your seat?"

Temari sent Ino a glare that clearly stated 'this isn't over!' before she started walking back to her seat.

Ino glared back with a glare that said 'bring it on, bitch!'.

"Anyway, Before I was rudely interrupted"Ino began again, sending another glare Temari's way. "I want to know if I could go with y-"started Ino before she was once again cut off, but this time by the bell signaling them to go to their next class.

"Sorry Ino. I gotta go, I'll talk to later"Shikamaru said before standing from his seat and leaving with Naruto, Sasuke and Neji.

Ino sighed.'So close... dammit!' she thought before she too stood from her seat and walked over to her friends.

"Hey Ino-pig, what's wrong?"Sakura said.

"I was so close to asking him"Ino sulked.

"Really? What happened?"Tenten asked.

"First Temari interrupted, then the bell"Ino whined as she continued to sulk.

"Come on. You'll get him next time, right now we gotta go"Sakura said.

That's the second chapter. Please review! Next chapter will be NARUxHINA based.
