When I entered school all my friends were crowded around my locker. I rolled my eyes and crouched down awkwardly, twisting the lock and muttering the combination under my peppermint breath, "30…13…22"
"Hinata!" Temari instantly screamed, crouching down beside me, shooting suggestions at me like darts. "He could sit with us" Temari had started, "then you could-"
"I don't like Gaara" I breathed, cutting her off "I don't like anybody"
"then w-why?"
"because frankly I'm sick of hearing about boyfriends and G-Gaara is being a b-better friend than y-you guys"
"Hinata" Sakura smiled, "you never minded it before"
I hated listening to Sakura. Listening to the girl who was dating Naruto. I hated looking at her, looking at her lying eyes. "no" I grumbled, "I did mind before" I said standing up, slamming my locker shut with my foot. "Hinata wait!" Temari called after me. I continued running, tears in my pale pearl eyes, clutching my books close to my chest.
I found myself in my first period class, my head in my arms, trying to ignore the indifferent stares of nosy classmates and worried teachers.
I found it stupid to be crying over my friends having boyfriends, for having lives. I found it stupid to be crying over Naruto being with her.
Biting my glossy pink lips hard, I squeezed my tear-filled eyes shut tight. Cold hands cupped my bare shoulders, I looked up, pursing my lips. "Gaara?"
"don't cry over them" he muttered, "don't let them get to you"
And I decided not to. I took a deep breath, glancing up at Gaara with childlike eyes, "T-thank you" I breathed.
I entered the lunchroom, not knowing what to expect. Both Gaara and Temari had turned their heads when I entered. I made my way to Kankuro and Gaara, my eyes not leaving my blue converse. "H-hey" i stuttered, plopping down on the off-white bench. "t-this seat taken?"
"no"
"okay"
-- gaara's pov --
I starred into her pearl eyes, fully aware this wasnt the real Hinata. I wanted to get to know her, to laugh, and share things with her, but i couldnt find it in my demonpossesed-self to try. Maybe if i wanted it...enough.
