Digest: Diary, he asked to borrow a pencil. I tried really hard not to faint. I really did.
Dedicate: To the idiot who broke my video camera (Zan, I hate you), Gabo 1602 (now you definitely can't complain xD ), and everyone who reviewed, favourited, and alerted my story! You guys are awesome!
Disclaim: I only own the plot.

Unwell
But I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell
I know, right now you can't tell
But stay awhile and maybe then you'll see
A different side of me
I'm not crazy, I'm just a little impaired
I know, right now you don't care
But soon enough, you're gonna think of me
And how I used to be

Dear Diary,
I love this school, and it's only been a week!
Sakura and Ino are in a lot of my classes, so it was really nice to start the year with friends! But there's this one really cute boy who is in all my classes, his name's Sasuke. Sakura says that every girl at Leaf Academy has liked him at least once, or at least think he's really, really hot.
And he is, I admit, but I don't like him like that. I've tried to speak to him a couple times, but he didn't encourage conversation. He's always late for class, and when he is in class, he's constantly texting his best friend.
Naruto Uzumaki.

Dear Diary,
Today Karin asked what the markings on my forearm were. I told her the story- Our freshmen year, Chouji wanted a tattoo, so Shino and I went along. Chouji got two swirls of his cheeks, and Shino claims he got a tattoo as well, but I'm not sure where he got it or what it was of.
They both convinced me to get a tattoo. I got the Hyuuga clan symbol, the flame, an inch above my wrist. It's just the outline, but I love it. It's nice and patriotic.
Naruto has whisker tattoos; three on each cheek. The middle ones are little bit longer than the others but it's only noticeable if you look closely.
Sasuke has a tattoo on his neck. It's kind of weird, and difficult not to stare at. Today he actually caught me staring. He told me not to be so obvious or people will get the wrong message. I don't understand. For all he knows, I, like half of the girls in this school, could like him. But he said it weirdly. Like he was implying something.
I think he knows I like Naruto.

… I can't think of any more.

Dear Diary,
Today there were sport tryouts. The sports were soccer and cross-country. Neji is the captain of the boy's soccer team, and Tenten's the captain for the girl's. Naruto tried out for soccer, but I was too scared to stay and watch. I was thinking that maybe I'd try out for soccer so I could be closer to him.
Tenten later asked if I was trying out for a sport.
I said no.
Karin says she doesn't play sports. Every time she does, the ball hits her face and breaks her glasses. So instead she's in the Tech Club. She said I should join a club, colleges like it when people are in clubs.
I think I'll join the art club.
Lots of Love,
-Hinata
Days Until Ino's Birthday: 10
03. Clothes
Pro: You can never have enough
Con: It might not fit her
04. Shoes
Pro: We have the same shoe size
Con: She might not like them
05. A Movie
Pro: Ino loves movies
Con: She might already have it

Dear Diary,
I asked Sakura about clubs here. She said if I wanted to join the art club I would need to speak to Sai-sensei, the club's supervisor.
Sai-sensei... as in... the Student Councillor. I suddenly thought that maybe being club-less wouldn't be such a bad idea.
Sakura offered to introduce me. I couldn't refuse.
After class she brought be to the art room. Sai-sensei was the only one there. He seemed really nice and smiled a lot, even though some of his smiles seemed kind of fake. He looked at a painting I've been working on since school started. He said it was really good, and that he'd be happy to have such a talented artist in the club.
I blushed.
-Hinata
Days Until Ino's Birthday: 8
06. A Diary
Pro: Diaries help you think
Con: I don't think she'll ever use it
07. A Book
Pro: She loves anything romantic
Con: She doesn't like to read
08. A Stuffed Animal
Pro: Everyone loves stuffed animals
Con: It's kind of childish

Diary,
I accidently bumped into Naruto in the hallway.
What if he thinks I did it on purpose because I'm an awful, horrible person? Or what if he thinks I'm a klutz and trip over my own feet and he doesn't like clumsy people? And by the time I actually managed to stutter out an apology, he was already halfway down the hall!
I'm so embarrassed!
Sincerely,
-Hinata
Days Until Ino's Birthday: 4
09. Chocolate
Pro: It's yummy
Con: Ino's always on a diet
10. Flowers
Pro: Her family owns a flower shop, so she'll definitely appreciate them
Con: I want to give something that will last longer
I don't know what I'm going to do! I have to buy her present this weekend!
I think I'll ask the others what they're getting her.

Dearest Diary,
Ino's seventeenth birthday is tomorrow. Tenten and Karin are already seventeen, I turn seventeen in December and Sakura turns seventeen in March. I bought Ino a stuffed teddy bear. I hope she likes it.
Karin and I made the cake while Tenten and Sakura distracted Ino. It's a strawberry cake with a Cool whip 'frosting' (Ino's on another diet, so everything's low fat). We put actual strawberries around the top and wrote "Ino" in the centre with blueberries. It looked very pretty.
Sincerely,
-Hinata

Dear Diary,
Today was Ino's party. During our free period, Sakura and I went into Tenten and Karin's dorm and decorated the whole place (it would have been in our dorm, but Sakura has her stuff all over the floor, so it was too messy). There were so many balloons you couldn't see the ceiling!
After school all of us went to our respective sports/clubs (art was really fun. There aren't very many people in the club, so we all talked while Sai-sensei blasted Three Days Grace. They're Shino's favourite band, so I was singing along to all the songs. Sai-sensei said I have a really good voice and should join the choir. I could never join the choir. I'm too scared to sing in front of people).
Tech and art ended before the sports, so Karin and I made the finishing touches to the room. When Sakura, Tenten, and Ino walked in, we all screamed 'SURPRISE!' Ino squealed and started jumping around as if she won the lottery.
We all ate, watched movies, and went to sleep at two in the morning.
I'm lucky I had no homework.
Love,
-Hinata

Dear Diary,
Today was the Back to School dance.
I don't own any nice clothes, so I borrowed some from Ino. Karin, Tenten, Sakura, and I got ready at Ino's dorm, since she doesn't have a roommate, which is good since all of her clothes take up both closets.
Everyone looked so pretty.
And I felt so underdressed.
For an aspiring artist, what I wore was incredibly uninspiring.
But Tenten said I looked pretty, so I didn't complain.
The dance was held in the gym. It smelled like sweat, the music was fast, the lights were dimmed, and the drinks were spiked. Ino told me that Shikamaru told her that Naruto was the one who spiked it.
I didn't dance at all, but Tenten danced with Neji and a boy with a bowl-cut, Karin with a boy with silver hair and a tall boy with orange hair, Ino danced with Shikamaru (who also danced with a girl with dirty blonde hair in four pigtails, which made Ino and her get into a huge fight. One of Ino's nails scratched the girl and drew blood. Ino and Shikamaru disappeared after and I haven't seen them since).
Sakura danced with Naruto.
I left after their third dance in a row.
I went up onto the roof because I wanted to be alone for a while, but someone else was up there. Sasuke. He was smoking. Our conversation went something like this:
Me: Why are you smoking (I was stuttering)
Him: *shrugs* Why aren't you dancing with the idiot?
Me: *starts hyperventilating* (I never thought he would actually confront me with it!)
Him: *raises an eyebrow*
Me: I'm too scared. (I was stammering so much it was incomprehensible to my own ears)
Him: *puts out the cigarette and stands up* You shouldn't be.
He walked away after. I don't understand him; he's so confusing! I know I shouldn't be afraid to talk to Naruto, but it's just… I really like him, and I guess I'm afraid if I talk to him I'll say something stupid and he won't like me. Plus I think he likes Sakura, which makes sense because Sakura's smart, funny, and beautiful.
We're having a sleepover in Karin's dorm later, and I don't know how I'm going to act around Sakura. I mean, I can't be angry with her for dancing with Naruto- it's not like I own him or she even knows I like him.
I guess I'll just try to act normal.
Love,
-Hinata

Disclose: My document uploader is messed up. So if there are any rulers that appear in the wrong place, or things are not centred when they should me, I'm really sorry. I uploaded this chapter a few weeks ago, and it was so screwed up I had to take it down, so I'm also sorry if there was any confusion there.

Coming Soon...
07. InoShikaTema. "Are you breaking up with me?" He took one look at the knife in her hands. "No."

Please review! They motivate me to write!
