Life Just Got More Complicated
Chapter 4: The School Welcome
The next day came and I was pretty much excited and nervous for school. I got ready for school fast enough to take a look at myself in the mirror for a pretty long time. Hn…. The uniform's a little, no a lot, showy. The blouse is tight, and I don't like the view it gives to others. Other than that, the skirt is really short. I wonder how girls get comfortable wearing this to school. By the way, the uniform's color is white, except for the ribbon and skirt, which is violet. Well, at least I'm only required to wear this during Mondays. Mom, help me. I hope I don't mess this one up.
I went down and ate breakfast. I didn't eat that much, since my stomachs full of butterflies already. Walking on my way to school, I passed by the place where I met that curious guy. Memories flooded in. The bump….., the book…. and of course ….the argument. But what's really surprising was when he came to me and tried to clean me up. I can't deny that I felt like a kid who had a first crush. I giggled slightly to myself. I wonder if he goes to school.
The school came into view, fingers crossed, I walked past the students who were giving me strange looks. I just did my best to look like I didn't care. It took like forever for me to reach the principal's office. When I came in, I saw her there. Her office looks a lot neater than the last time I saw her. "Oh, Miss Hyuuga, please sit. Before I start, my name is Tsunade. Look, I'll have to explain some things to you. First, you will be paired up with someone I trust to show you around school. Don't worry, I'm sure you'll get along well. Second, he's a he. Got what I mean?" "Huh?" "You know, he's male." "Yeah, I get that. But why does he have to be a male? Can't you just get a girl instead?" "Sorry, but the girls in this school can't be trusted. If I pair you up with them, you'll be lucky if you went end up in a club and be a stripper. Oh, and I received a phone call from your father. He says that you do not reveal to anyone, well of course except me, your real social position. Being a Hyuuga and all can cause a little complications. Especially if it spread throughout the school campus." "So who is this guy?" "Well, his name is ….." Then, out of a sudden someone barged in the office and everything just got complicated.
"Sorry I'm late. I forgot to set the … alarm." He looked around the room until finally, his eyes were fixed with mine. "You!" we shouted at the same time while pointing at each other. "Oh, great, you've met. Then, this won't be difficult as I expected." Tsunade said. "What the hell is going on?" the boy said. "Oh, Sasuke, calm down. Actually, both of you needs to calm down." We both stared at each other before sitting down. "Hinata, this is Uchiha Sasuke. Sasuke, this is… Ayama, Hinata. That's right!" I have a feeling this isn't gonna be good. Ha…
Sasuke's p.o.v.
*yawns* Great, it's Monday. Wait, it's Monday? Why the hell didn't the alarm set off? Shit! I forgot to set it last night. Damn it! I rushed in the bathroom and took a shower. Rushing, I got dressed and went down, took my bag and locked the door behind me. Walking out of my yard. I saw the place when IT happened. That girl, …..she has really beautiful eyes. And what's more fun is she doesn't even know who I really am. So that means she doesn't care about who I am and how I looked. She is really interesting. Cute….
I ran as fast as I can to the principal's office. In case, you're wondering, Tsunade called me yesterday and told me to go directly to her office in the morning. Something's up; I can feel it. When I came in I tried to explain why I was late, until my eye fell on the lady sitting across Tsunade. It's the girl from yesterday. I studied her feature. Wow, she looks even more gorgeous on her uniform. The way her curves were showing… and her legs….., she looked like a goddess! She looked quite shocked to see me too. After a few yellings at each other, Tsunade told us to calm down and sit. She explained to me how I'm supposed to be her guide and all. What?! After a long explanation from Tsunade and a lot of complaints from me and Hinata, we finally agreed to the idea. Besides, I kinda like it. Being around her. But, maybe she changes her attitude and becomes like all the other girls. Ha… We got our schedules from Tsunade and she purposely made our scheduled exactly the same.
Hinata looks like she was totally defeated. So I tried to talk to her when we got out. "Hey, it's not like I don't like you. I mean, I don't like you as LIKE LOVE. I don't mean that. I like you, but… Just forget I said that. It's just that, you might have a terrible school year with me." "What?" she said, finally looking up at me, blushing slightly. "I have lots of girls drooling at me all the time. And I don't want them to do anything to you. Not that I care, but, I mean… *sigh* Why is this so hard to explain?" "I get it. Anyway, let's just get to class."
Hinata's p.o.v.
Walking on our way to our room, we have been getting stares from all the other students. Oh, so Sasuke's like popular, right? Oh, dear, there goes my luck of having a great school year. When we got inside, Sasuke insisted to sit beside me. He was so close to me. I can even hear his breathing. It actually sounds like a lullaby… maybe I wouldn't mind spending my year with him. My thoughts were washed away when our English teacher went in. He was smiling at me. "Oh, is this our new student?" Suddenly, all eyes were on me. Before I even got a chance to speak, Sasuke interrupted. "Yeah….." "Oh, well, if you don't mind, would you introduce yourself to the class?"
I stood up nervously and said, "Hi, I'm Ayama Hinata." "It's a pleasure to meet you, Hiinata. I am your English teacher, Iruka.""Thank you." Someone laughed in front of me. "That's a pretty weird name for a girl." said a pink-haired girl. "I agree. And she's got the nerve to sit beside Sasuke? She doesn't even look like a girl. Haha!" said a blond-haired girl. All I could do was bow down and think of Neji. God, I wished he was here. Then, I heard another voice. It was Sasuke. "Speak for yourself. You don't even know the person so don't judge her. Sit down, Hinata." Classes went on and I could feel Sasuke's eyes staring at me. Then, he'll look away. The girls in front of us kept giving me death glares. I was so uncomfortable, I didn't even know where to look.
After what seemed like forever, the class ended and everyone went out. Sasuke and I were the last ones. We were both quiet on the way to our lockers. After getting our books, we were on our way to our next class, History. On the way, I heard Sasuke's stomach grumble. We stopped dead in our tracks. He was blushing. "Are you okay?" "I'm fine." "You didn't eat breakfast, did you?" "So what? What do you care?" I took an apple from my bag and gave it to him. "Her, eat this." "I don't want it. Um...!" I placed the apple in his mouth. "Don't. I know you're hungry. Eat it already. It's not good for you not to skip breakfast. Besides, you're suppose to me my guide. That means, I can take care of you too." I smiled at him. He was staring at me. I fidgeted in my clothing. Then, as if on cue, he began to come back to reality. I waited for him to finish eating the apple. He was like a lion. He sure is hungry. After he ate, he noticed me looking at him. "What?" he said. I approached him then I lifted my hand to the side of his mouth. "You've got some bits on your face." He stared at me again. After realizing how awkward it was, I said, "Let's go to class. We don't wanna be late."
After the next class, we went off to lunch. The cafeteria sure is busy. Lots of people. GREAT! Sasuke seemed to notice how I felt. So, he told me to follow him. He led me to the back of the school where a cherry blossom tree stood. It was beautiful. Ssuke told me he used to stay here every lunch time. We ate quietly. Then, the rest of the day was spent mainly on classes.
After school, I left first before Sasuke 'coz he was being ambushed by some girls. Especially, that Sakura and Ino girls. Sasuke eventually got out looking terrible. Then, he ran after me and asked if it was okay for him to walk me home. "Sure." I said. While walking, Sasuke asked me, "Sorry about your book. You know, yesterday." "Oh, don't worry, it wasn't your fault." "So what is that book anyway?" "Just a bedtime story. My Mother used to read it to me when I was young…" "Where's your Mother now?" "She died. Four years ago." Sasuke stopped walking. I just continued walking. He ran after me and pulled my hand. I had tears in my eyes already. I just don't want to talk about my Mother. I don't know why. He then, pulled me to an embrace. "Sasuke…" "I'm sorry, Hinata. I had no idea." "It's alright." We continued walking to my hoe and said our goodbyes. Before walking off, I kissed Sasuke in his cheek. "Thank you, Sasuke." I didn't know what came over me. But I actually did that. I guess he makes me feel accepted. Sasuke…. ^_^
