OH MY GOSH! HI GUYS! It's literally been months. Sorry about that. When I had stopped writing it was the middle of senior year for me and things were really hectic. And now I'm in college, so it hasn't been any better but I missed writing. I'm going to trying to stick to my promise of two chapters every upload. I won't upload every day, but I'll try at least twice a week. Anyways get ready for longer chapters! :D So glad to be back!
Naruto! You're back. So how was your date?"
"Dad, it wasn't a date and whatever it was I screwed up." He started to get angry with himself when he thought about what he said to Hinata. … I love you. What the hell was I thinking?
"Son, is everything okay?"
"I don't know. I'll let you know Monday."
Naruto walked upstairs to his room and closed the door. He had never felt so nervous or worried about anything before, especially a girl. But to him, in the little time he had spent with Hinata, she became more than just a girl to him.
He picked up his phone, "Maybe I should call her and explain. Yeah, I'll do that." As he was dialing her number, he suddenly thought that he would seem abrasive and kind of creepy if he bothered her like that. "No, I'll just give her some space."
*KNOCK KNOCK*
"Hun?"
""No mom, I don't want to talk about it."
"You're dad told me you were upset when you came in. Did she hurt you?"
*sigh* "I said something that I was feeling and I think I scared her off."
"To be honest with you, I've never seen you so concerned about a girl before." Kushina stopped and looked out the window. Maybe this girl is different to him. He has been spending a lot of time with her.
"Son, whatever happened is a thing of the past. Don't dwell. It will be better."
She kissed him on the forehead and walked out the room.
Naruto sighed deeply. "I hope so."

He…he loves me? No maybe I don't hear him correctly.
Hinata made her way into her house, with a head full of confusion and disbelief.
I really like him, even though I shouldn't. Am I ready to let someone love me?
"Hey sis."
Hinata jumped as Hanabi startled her.
"Oh, hello Hanabi. Did you have fun with father at the park?"
"Yep. I tired him out though. Anyways how was your tour with your boyfriend?"
"Nar…Naru… he's not my boyfriend. I don't know how to explain how my evening went but it wasn't terrible." Hinata had mixed emotions about her night. "If you'll excuse me, I'm going to get dinner started."

Kushina kicked down Naruto's door. "NARUTO! IT'S 6:50! GET YOUR BUTT UP FOR SCHOOL." The bed was already made and his book bag was gone. "Huh?"
"Dear, he left about 30 minutes ago."
"Oh… well. It's about time he finally got up on time for once."

The weekend, which seemed like a decade to Naruto, finally passed. It was Monday. Today he was going to talk to Hinata.
"Oy, Naruto. Are you okay?" Sasuke could tell there was something wrong with him.
"Me? Yeah of course; aren't I always? Haha." He flashed a fake smile and rubbed the back of his head.
"You idiot, do you think I'm an idiot like you?
Naruto glared at him.
"We've been best friends since we were toddlers. I know you. What happened?"
Naruto looked at Sasuke, "I made a mistake. One I hope I can fix."
At that moment he heard a quiet "excuse me" at the door. Hinata was making her way into class trying to get pass the group of kids huddle around a single desk.
He looked at Hinata with both excitement and fear.
"Let me ask you something. Does your mistake have anything to do with her?"
"Yeah." He slumped down in his seat.
*RING RING*
"Alright, class. I'm going to be handing back your tests from last week. As usual Sasuke had the highest score with a 100."
Sasuke slightly smirked.
Mr. Hatake walked past Naruto's desk and laid his test face down.
Great another crappy grade. Hopefully it isn't too low. He flipped it over.
92. Good job Naruto. Keep it up. You didn't cheat did you? :)
Naruto had a giant look of surprise on his face.
"Don't tell me you got another 'see me after class'".
"Nope. I got a 92." It was because of her I felt confident enough to take this test and I actually got an A.
"Good job idiot. Maybe now you have a chance to not be a super idiot. Just a regular one."
Naruto smiled. He grabbed a piece of paper and wrote something down on it. He balled it up and chucked it at Hinata.
What the? Oh it's writing on this paper. She opened the note.
Hinata, I got a 92! Can you believe that? Thank you for helping me. Also can we talk at lunch? I really want to talk to you. Please.
- Naruto
She was hesitant, but she turned around and smiled at him and shook her head yes.
So thanks for reading. I know it's a little rusty but I'm saving all the good stuff for the next couple of chapters. This is just my way of easing back into writing. Anyways I appreciate feedback as always!
