Chapter 4

A blonde haired male walked calmed and cool through the now empty hallways of his dear high school. Beside him was one of his oldest friends, one who stood by his side when times were ruff, he never gave up.

Late as they were, they didn't bother to hurry, after all they already knew their teacher and they knew how lazy that man was, so they decided to take their time and just wait for second period.

"I had a dream with Hinata." The blonde male confessed suddenly. The brown haired male rose his eyebrow and stared at the blonde.

"Another one?" The brown haired male said before sigh. "I know you still feel bad about what happened that night and I know you think it's your fault that she left but in reality you were just saying the truth and she can't blame you for that."

"I know… but I" The blonde sigh as he ran his fingers through his hair. "I just keep thinking that I did it all wrong, maybe she meant to me more than I gave her credit for."

The brown male came to abrupt stop and held his friend's wrist making him stops as well. "Naruto, there was no way in hell you knew about your feelings. Things started as a friendship and you were both 12!" The brown haired male shouted. "You need to move on."

The blonde male, named Naruto nodded silently. "You're right, Kiba" He said giving his best friend, Kiba, a small smile. "I think it's time to move on."

Suddenly their phones vibrated in unison. They both looked at each other confuse and read the text sent by their friend Choji, who the happened to share first class with and Sasuke.

"You guys just missed Sasuke calling out on a very hot new girl" It read.

"Hot new girl" Kiba whispered to himself before grinning. "This chick will be the girl that makes you forget Hinata" Kiba declared bumping his elbow against Naruto's shoulder.

"I don't think it works like that Kiba" Naruto chuckled placing his hands on his pockets.

"But she's hot!" He said earning a rosen eyebrow from his best friend. "She must be if Sasuke called her out!"

Naruto open his mouth to answer his best friend when someone tapped their shoulder. "Late again Naruto… Kiba?" A female voice said from behind.

They both turned around and grinned at Shizune who glared down at them. "You know it Shi-chan" Naruto said chuckling. "Car broke down again" He shrugged.

"I see" She shook her head. "You have to go see the principal"

"Oh come on Shi-chan!" Kiba whined.

"I already texted her" Naruto said flipping his phone open and showing the said text to Shizune. Shizune read carefully before sighing.

"Fine, you are excuse from first period" Shizune said shaking her head. "But I need your help so come along" She said grabbing them by the wrist and dragging them down the empty halls.

Not so far away from the troublemakers Hinata sat silently and as far away as she could from Sasuke Uchiha. Not only had he yelled her name out of the blue in front of everyone but he had been staring at her ever since she finally sat down.

She knew he might have a lot of questions, he probably knew what happened with Naruto back before she left.

Sure she wanted to be brave and confront this question. Sakura had already asked her about her disappearing but with Sasuke it felt a lot more personal, maybe because he was close to Naruto or maybe because they knew each other back then.

She just had to find a way to explain her emotional whirlwind, and her rash decision to leave without a goodbye. She had to options, either she would lie and tell them it had been her father's fault or tell the truth and lay her old feelings in the table.

She peaked through her bangs to find Sasuke still staring at her, while the chubby guy beside him poked him continuously.

And then the bell rang and she got up and hurried out of the classroom, losing herself in the sea of people. She finally started to feel safe after a couple of minutes and begged the heavens to give her a change to gather up her thoughts before she had to face one of her friends once again.

Not so far from the pleading Hinata, was Naruto and Kiba making their way through the crowd. "This is so unfair" Kiba whined. "You're the principal's grandson; we should be chilling in her office. Instead we spent half an hour walking a small pig waiting got it to poop!"

"Come on Kiba, you know that neither my grandmother nor her assistant will give me or you better treatment" Naruto laughed.

"We should!" Kiba said with a huff.

"HEY GUYS!" They heard someone screamed from across the hallway. It was then they saw their friend Choji wobbling his way towards them with his lazy best friend Shikamaru strolling behind. "Did you guy received my text?" He asked once he reached the two friends.

"We did" Kiba said as opened his gray locker with a punch. "What was that all about?"

"I have no idea dude! The poor girl was speaking when suddenly Sasuke called her out" Choji said as he took out one of his favorite BBQ chips. "She looked very spooked"

"I would be spooked too if someone randomly shouts your name" Shikamaru casually commented.

"I agree with Shikamaru" Kiba nodded.

"How did Sasuke know her anyways?" Naruto asked.

"I asked him but he was too busy staring her down" Choji asked munching his precious chips.

"Wait, didn't Sasuke said last hang out that he liked Sakura?" Shikamaru wondered out loud. The four boys looked at each other confuse and with no clue of the Uchiha's actions.

"There she is!" Choji suddenly shouted pointing fanatically behind Kiba and Naruto. They both turned around and looked for the mystery girl. "She's hot, right?" Choji asked.

"I don't see any hot girl…" Kiba said.

"No way…"Naruto suddenly said once his blue eyes spotted a petite girl with white eyes. His heart started racing as his feet began to move on its own.

"Naruto… where the hell are you going?" Choji asked confuse by his action but he didn't answer, instead he kept on walked until her was close enough to smell her perfume from the back of her head as she buried her head inside her locker, unaware of his presence.

He opened his mouth to call her name but his mouth was dried and as much as he tried, he couldn't find his voice.

"Hinata?" Kiba asked from behind him, also noticing the small girl.

Hinata's back tensed and she slowly turned around just to find her pale eyes staring into the sea blue and as if nothing had happened, as if she hadn't left Naruto felt himself move closer and trapped her in a bear hug.

As soon as they made contact, Hinata's legs became jello and everything she had once felt was back.

Like nothing had happened.
