Claimer: My OCs, a pie in the cafeteria and… that's about it. I don't own anything else, I swear!

Summary: AU Hinata's been home schooled all her life and is now a newbie at high school. Will she be able to handle homework, friends and family at the same time? And what does pie have to do with anything? Your choice of pairings, though author wants to include KakaHina. Eh he he...

Author notes: I know I said somewhere I don't like pairings like ItaOC or anything, but my friend wouldn't stop bugging me! She made me pair up her OC (thanking God her OC isn't a Mary Sue… –I think) with Itachi. Even in school projects! I hope you guys don't mind. And I shoved my two OCs in as teachers. Just a reminder, review responses are in my profile.

Day 1: Period 4

Walking along carrying her sports bag and a pile of junk called 'school books' to the science labs, Hinata decided to ask her two friends a question. It wasn't normal for her to nose around into other's business, but she just had to ask. It had been bugging her since the previous lesson in PE, especially since the teacher actually responded to it. Hinata couldn't leave the question bottled in any longer.

"Ino-chan, Sakura-chan, who was that monkey on the skateboard?" she asked them quietly, in slight fear that they might just laugh at her for asking such a stupid question. It wasn't everyday one would get asked about talking animals, you know that as well as I do.

The two friends looked at each other. 'Hinata would probably get a shock from knowing this, well what kind of school other than the one they were in would have that thing as-' were the lines they were thinking of as they pondered on how to put an answer into words.

"Well, his name is Moonkeh Bob," Ino stated, choosing to start with the easy things first. "And well, our school… Bob is pretty much our school mascot. A monkey is our school mascot. Soo lame."

"A monkey is our school mascot…" Hinata repeated and then started to giggle. "And he can talk? Heh…" they reached their destination and went inside, took out their books, ready for the next lesson to begin.

Sitting there in one of the science labs waiting for the teacher to turn up… and the class wasn't what you call relaxed. After the experience of PE with Maito-sensei, they were hoping to get stuck into work so they could forget the spandex teacher's… clothes, no matter how boring the work. It would be nothing compared to… that thing. It just showed them all 'stuff' they didn't need or want to see in the first place. Anyway, the class waited some patiently and some not so patiently for the teacher, or teachers to arrive.

They had Science with another class, which had students a year older than them. The upperclassmen/upperclasswomen got to choose between either Science or SOSE. And most of them had chosen SOSE, except for four very special students: Rock Lee; an energetic boy with the same sad fashion sense as Maito-sensei, Hyuuga Neji; another child prodigy related to Hinata, Ten-Ten; a girl who was exceptionally well at aiming and Kosa Ayumi; a girl who obviously was waiting for one of the teachers to appear, probably because she had a crush on at least one of them.

But ten minutes of the supposed period passed and still no sign of a teacher. Restless was not a word you could describe the class' feeling at that moment. It would be something more like… agitated. Very agitated. Some of the students including Hinata, opened up their textbooks and were reading a page and answering the questions on the sheet provided. A smart choice, but unnecessary. Three figures appeared out of a hole from the ceiling in front of the room. They were wearing black coats over their school uniform, and they all wore dark sunglasses.

One of them, the furthest on the right took off her sunglasses, revealing blue eyes and white sandy hair in braids. "Hello, and we're your science teachers. Ioshi Kasumi's the name," she jerked a thumb to the middle person with onyx eyes and pure obsidian hair tied at the base of his neck next to her. "That's Uchiha Itachi (she stuck out her tongue while she said it) and this is-"

"I'm Kaizu Takeru," the person on the left finished, and pulled off the cloak and sunglasses. A long cascade of silver hair fell down, and emerald eyes were only just covered in locks of a silver fringe. Some of the guys in the class started checking that person out but were quickly put down. "By the way, I'm a guy." The wandering eyes stopped looking at him and all gazes turned to the Uchiha.

But before he got to say anything, a cheery face with messy purple hair in a high ponytail popped out from the hole in the ceiling. "See? I told you this was the only entrance that would make you look flashy!" she teased.

Takeru nodded at the teacher. "Ano… Arigato, Mitarashi-san." The aforementioned smiled and then left, ignoring the large gap that was now in the ceiling. But then a vent thing was placed into the hole, so it looked like three certain teachers had never jumped into the room through that entrance at all, no trace whatsoever. Taking no notice of what happened before, Itachi chose to continue class.

"Hmph. Turn to page 50 of your text book." Itachi said gruffly, and put on his glasses, small and oval which looked very sexy on him. Ayumi sitting in the back, squealed and love hearts shone in her orbs. But that halted after his next sentence. "Today, we're making-" the last word was said simultaneously by the three teachers.

"Bombs." Silence, and more silence.

Naruto's hand shot up in the air. "Anou sa, anou sa, what kind of bombs?" the teacher's eyes narrowed, a very serious expression, and the class wondered what kind of bombs were going to be made. Atomic bombs? Suicide bombs? Gas bombs? Nuclear bombs? Smoke bombs? Minds were etching in worry as they anticipated an answer from one of the three teachers.

Itachi watched the class as they panicked. He smirked. No matter how many times he'd seen it, it never ceased to humour him. Ever. And it was now even more hilarious now, since his 'dear' little brother was in it too. He was going to fun torturing- (ahem) teaching this new group of pupils this year.

Sasuke glared at his older brother. He didn't like the way Itachi smirked and looked at the rest of the class, even if they didn't realize. Itachi was now looking at Hinata. That just made the younger Uchiha's blood boil. And, seeing his little brother's reaction, Itachi really wanted to laugh out loud. Apparently, Sasuke had taken a liking to that new girl. And glancing around the classroom, some of the other boys did too. And the poor lass didn't even notice.

Itachi checked the class list. "No.20 Hyuuga Hinata," he muttered under his breath. Cool, and not so cool. The older Uchiha decided to flirt with her, just for fun (A/N: X3). Not now though. Later, when the class was busy. But right now he had to answer the question Naruto had asked. But Takeru-kun beat him to it. Damn.

"Whatever bomb we're allowed to make. Which are either water bombs, or smoke bombs. The non-dangerous kind, by the way."

Ayumi's hand waved around in the air. "Can I make love bombs? So when I throw the bomb at a cute guy," she took a quick peek at Itachi and continued. "he'll fall in love with me! Please?"

Surprisingly though, Kasumi allowed that and the class was split into three even groups of eight. Hinata sighed, and moved into her group which also had Ayumi, Ino, Sakura, Ten Ten, Lee, Naruto, Kiba and Neji-nii-san. But she was optimistic about something. At least Sasuke wasn't in the group so she wouldn't get put down by the girls who 'wanted' to be friends with him, right?

Meanwhile… Sasuke grumbled. He had been grouped with mainly his own fanclub, (which he swore he heard the two male teachers sniggering about) Shino, Chouji and Shikamaru. Great. A lazy bum and fat boy. About Shino though, he couldn't think of an insult so just left the name as is.

Each teacher went to their own separate groups, and Sasuke was grateful. Itachi was not his group leader. He had been put with Takeru-san instead. But then… would that mean… Would that mean Itachi was with Hinata?

to be continued…

Author notes: Someone tell me I won't have to pair Hinata up with Sasuke. I'm gonna barf if I did shove him with anyone (even though once upon a time I wrote a SasuSaku)! So, any ideas? I think I might have to deal with another OC… (grumble) Anyway, review please! 29 reviews or no updates! Er… yeah.
