I was utterly confused of Naruto! He acted so …weird. As I entered our house, I saw Hanabi sprawled on the living room couch watching her favorite TV show.
"Where's father?" I asked.
"Work"
"Where's Neji?"
"Kitchen" Neji and I are the ones who take turns cooling our meals 'coz when you let Hanabi cook, expect a disaster the size of Mt. Everest. She hates cooking with passion.
"Hey, aren't you supposed to be doing your assignments?" I asked just to annoy my little sister. Because, I myself doesn't have any plan to do my own assignments, if I have any. She just sent me a 'Can't-You-See-I'm-Watching-My-Favorite-Show' glare.
"Oh…my…my…my little sister you should study hard so that you will be the greatest chef to impress Konohamaru." I said in a concerned big sister tone this only caused Hanabi to shriek in response and sent me her very own death glare. I just laughed at her and proceeded to my room before she can breathe fire on me. She gets pissed easily.
I tossed my bag to my study table then changed to my pj's and an oversized t-shirt. I plopped down in my bed, staring at the sky blue ceiling of my room. I can't help thinking about Naruto. He's acting weird. The walk to my house was filled with awkward silence and Naruto wasn't talking to or even looking at me. And the thing that makes me more confused is that when we're at my house he said 'I'm sorry' then ran off. What's wrong with him? Maybe it's just my fever. I touched my forehead but felt nothing, my fever was gone. Nah… I just need to rest. Yeah, rest.
I was about to close my eyes when someone knocked on my door. It was Neji.
"Dinners ready, you should go downstairs."

I am such an idiot. That was the only thought that kept repeating on my mind. The walks to Hinata's house was filled with awkward silence because I don't know what to say to her, that's why I said 'I'm sorry', then ran off. I cannot face her after what I saw in her locker. It makes me feel an idiot, dumb, blind, fool, stupid, and a moron who only cares for himself.
--Flashback--
I opened Hinata's locker with the spare key Shizune gave me. I immediately got Hinata's clothes but when I was about to close her locker, a picture caught my attention. It wasn't just an ordinary picture. It was a picture of me, Hinata, Tenten and Temari, my friends.
I stared at it for a while remembering the times when we ate together at the cafeteria, when we hang out at each others houses, when we get ourselves into trouble, when I don't care if I was popular or not. I slammed the locker and went to the infirmary
--Flashback--
I really miss them; I miss the time we spend together. And it was because of me that those times were gone. It was also my fault why Hinata was in the infirmary. She stood up for me while I just stand there and watch.
I keep thinking hard until I realized that I was already at my house. I quickly proceed to my room and plopped down on my bed.
The image of Hinata lying on the bed, sleeping peacefully keeps flashing in my head. She's so calm, so innocent…so beautiful. Wha…where did that came from? Ugh… I sighed in frustration ruffling my already messy hair. When did Hinata became appealing to me? No…she was already beautiful from the very first time I saw her, but for me she's always the shy little Hinata. Now she is very different… or am I just an idiot not to notice her?
"Ugh…what the hell is happening to me?"

My stupid alarm clock kept on ringing. I crack open an eye then shut the stupid thing up. I'm not a morning person that's it. I grudgingly got out of my bed and took a shower. Minutes later, I emerged from the bathroom and put my uniforms on. I went downstairs to eat breakfast then I went to school.
When I arrived, the school was not yet crowded with over flowing students. I went to my locker to get the books that I needed. The picture of me and my friends that I posted in my locker caught my attention. Memories flashed on my mind. I unconsciously pulled the picture out of my locker and tucked it in my bag pocket. I walk hurriedly to my class even though there are only few students inside the school.
I'm usually the first one who arrives in our class. I consider this an advantage because first you can sleep if you want, second you can chat with your friends, and third if you forgot to do your assignment you will have time to copy your friend's work. But as I open the classroom door, I noticed that someone was already there. It was Uchiha Sasuke.
He was sitting on the window reading a book. Oh God he might murder me since it's just the two of us. I was about to slam the door then run but I noticed that he didn't even pay notice to my presence. I gulped then take a step inside the room. He is still ignoring me. I went to my seat and decided to do my assignment which I didn't do last night due to my laziness. I try hard to ignore his presence in the room since he's also ignoring me. I had finished my assignment before students came in the room.

I really hate Itachi! My goddamn brother waked me up three hours before school and that's by banging on my door, nonstop. Itachi will be dead now if those stupid maids don't intervene. I decided to go to school much earlier than usual 'coz just the mere sight of my brother makes my blood boil.
I was the first one who arrived in class. I opened the window and sat on it. I continued to read while I waited for my idiotic classmates and stupid teachers. What I didn't expect was the sudden intrusion of Hyuuga. I pretended not to notice her and I kept ignoring her while she enters the room. She settled herself on her chair (which was beside mine). I completely ignored her until the idiots (meaning my classmates) entered the room.
The class goes on uneventful. It was so boring. I glance on my wristwatch, five more minutes and I'm out of this hell hole. I started to pack my things 'coz I really want to go home and fulfill my mission of killing my dearest brother. Then the bell rang. I was about to exit the room when I saw Hyuuga talking to a Blonde guy or is that Naruto (courtesy of Hinata's diary) in the doorway. The Hyuuga put her pen in her bag pocket, and then a picture fell from her bag as they excited the room. And the worst part is that the stupid wind swept the picture and it landed directly in front of me. Damn. Why do every time the Hyuuga (unconsciously) lose her things, I'm always the one who ends up picking it. I put it in my breast pocket and look around if someone noticed me.
I was walking towards the door when the pink haired girl hugged me from the back
"Hey, Sasuke are you already going home? Why don't you hang out with me? It will be fun."
"No. Let go of me."
"But Sasuke, I promise it wi--"
"I said no so let go of me." I said with much force this time. She obediently let go and I exited the room without turning back. I went to my locker first, then to the Science Laboratory. I know where the Hyuuga is. I followed her yesterday because I was about to return her diary but I found her with some company. So I changed my mind.
I went into the Laboratory; I didn't spot Uzumaki so I just went inside. Hyuuga was at the lavatory so her back was facing me. I soundlessly made my way to her then she turned around holding a basin full of soapy water. Since I was already on her back, the basin bumped into me causing its content to pour all over my shirt and pants. She gaped for a moment staring at my wet clothes and started apologizing.
"I'm so sorry." She tries to wipe my shirt but I grab her arm and drag her to my car.
