Chapter Eight

I'm not so sure what is going on but I'm super confused. I walk down the hall looking left and right at all the people smiling at me more specifically the male population of the school. I checked down at what I was wearing making sure I didn't look to odd. I bet they are just mocking me. Oh no did my skirt get caught in my underwear again! I rush into the bathroom, stand in front of the mirror, and double check the back of my skirt.

Nope I'm all good. I furrow my eyebrows in confusion. Then why are they all smiling at me. Deciding to contemplate it later I head off to my class again.

Walking down the hall a girl rams her shoulder into mine. The force knocks all the books out of my hands. I squat down and start picking up my stuff when another pair of hands starts picking up my textbooks. Once I get it all I shoot up and look into an unfamiliar face.

"Here you go Hinata." The unknown boy goes to hand me my textbooks before he pulls them back. I knew it! He's probably going to throw my books across the hallway. I groan mentally preparing myself to be late to class. "Actually never mind I'll just hold these for you as I walk you to your class."

Alright now I'm officially confused. What is going on I'm completely freaked out now. I bet this is just a huge ploy anyways. I reach out for my textbooks.

"Um that won't be necessary really I can carry them myself." The boy pulls my books away from me and begins heading in the direction of my class. Feeling at a lose I trail behind the boy and listen to him chatter away like we are old friends.

Okay so I'm officially and utterly confused and freaked out. All the girls are being extra cruel today while the boys are being extra nice. Don't get me wrong the girls are never nice to me but it's just so odd to have the guys be nice to me. I walk into my math class and hustle to my chair just wanting to sit down and not think of trivial matter that will hopefully blow over soon.

As soon as I'm sitting I go about my normal routine pulling my stuff out of my bag but a bit more on edge. This is my worse class when it comes to them bulling me or pranking me. So I'm pretty sure the whole joke is going to end here and something horrible is going to happen to me while I'm in this class.

I feel the back of my chair dip back from added pressure so I look over my shoulder and through my eyelashes to see Sasuke. I give him a small shy smile. After the mall incident I have seen him in a nicer light but still he is kind of scary. He just nods his head and sits down in his seat. I resituate myself once the bell rings and it's time for the teacher to teach.

Once the teacher is done I'm all ready to start work. I open my book and get started right away. No more than a minute or two into my work I pulled out of my concentration by someone calling me.

"Hinata." Sasuke calls. I melt a little inside by the way he says my name. I'm not completely sure if that is a good thing but I'll pretend it never happened. Still leaning over my book and doing my work I look at Sasuke from the corner of my eye. I giving him a nod to let him know I was paying attention.

"Has anyone bothered you at all today?" He scowls while asking me this. I just stare down at my book but stop working. I become completely still. The way Sasuke is looking I'm not completely sure if it would be a smart thing to tell him that I have been getting nothing but grief from the girls. I set my pencil down, sat up straight, and turned myself towards him.

"No it's been" I paused looking for the right word to use "quiet." He just looks at me and mumbles a good. We both sit in silence him staring at me with a bored expression and me probably a one of uncomfort.

"So why do you dress like this if you have clothes like what you were wearing at the mall?" Sasuke asks out of nowhere. I blink at him a couple times and muse over the thought. I like the way I dress even though I'm always told I look like I stole from my grandma's closet.

"I don't know." I stop to look around not looking at his face "I kind of like the way I dress. Do you not?" I don't know what prompted me to ask him if he even likes how I dress. He shifted so he was resting his elbow on the desk and had his chin in hand.

"Well I think you looked pretty damn hot at the mall but I prefer you this because you're so much cuter." He immediately responded and gave me a wink. My face flushes pink. I bite down on my lip and shift my eyes to my hands in my lap. I don't know what he is thinking and I don't know why he is doing this.

"Thank you." I let out in a whisper. A tiny smile graces my lips. A compliment is still a compliment no matter who it comes from and coming from Sasuke it gives me a little funny feeling. I don't move gaze from my lap but I can feel his eyes on the top of my head. The bell soon goes off and it snaps me out of my blankness. I see Sasuke get out of his seat and head for the door. I go about collecting my stuff. The class becomes completely empty before I myself get up and heading for the door. I saunter out the door only looking straight determined to get this day over. Too many odd things are happening and I would prefer to get home and bake some stuff.

Once I take a couple steps out the classroom door my left hand is swept up into a strong hold. My first instinct is to pull my hand away, but when I look up to see who it is they stop my yanking with their eyes.

"I thought you might need me to hold your hand to the cafeteria so you don't get lost." He smirks at me and has a glint of mischievousness in his eyes. I pout a little and my face flushes once I realize what he is referring to. I have Ino to thank for this.

Our fingers aren't laced together but he has a good grip on my hand and so when he begins to walk in the direction of the cafeteria I stumble behind him trying to match his long strides.

We don't get far from the class before I notice a lot of girls giving me dirty looks, mouthing whore to me, or just glaring. I try to wring my hand out of Sasuke's grasp. I don't want to add fuel to the fire because I have a feeling I'm going to get burned and soon. Every time I tug my hand in attempt to pull my hand away Sasuke tightens his grip just a little. The situation itself gets worse when Sakura stroll towards us. The worst part is her facial expression when she sees Sasuke and my hands linked together.

Sakura stands directly in front of both me and Sasuke and has a pretty scowl on her rosy lips.

"What is going on here?" She tries to ask in a calm voice but ends up with a small shriek at the end. It's a common known fact that Sakura is after Sasuke but also want to keep Naruto all to herself, well according to Ino and Tenten that's how it is.

I look up at Sasuke and see he looks completely lax, like he doesn't care at all that she is mad. I'm terrified of making the queen bee angry. These girls are going to eat me alive there going to tear me down and destroy me. I need to get away from Sasuke. He may not know but right now he is causing me a whole lot of trouble.

"What does it look like I'm doing?" He sneers at Sakura "I'm walking Hinata to the cafeteria. What I do has nothing to do with you." He stares her down then looks down at me. I think he saw how scared I looked because after looking into his eyes he squeezed my hand once and dropped it. I hear Sakura's shrieks of disapproval as I scurry off quickly ducking my head low.

Arriving in the cafeteria I decided to skip lunch and go directly to the table that I normally sit at.

Plopping myself down I cross my arms and put my head down. I don't know if Sasuke knows that he is getting me in trouble with the female population. I frown. I hope he isn't doing it on purpose. I hear trays being set down in front of me. I assume it's just Tenten and Ino so I keep my head down and continue thinking.

My thoughts are cut short when I feel someone snatch up a handful of my hair and pulling my upward. My face is shoved towards someone else, once my eyes focus in I realizes it's one of the girls that normally take my money after school. The red heads eyes are full of anger and malice.

"Hey princess." She sneers at me "Who the fuck do you think you are clinging to Sasuke's arm like that? You have no right! You're fuckin' ugly and dress like a stupid old lady." The girl continues screaming into my face. My eyes begin to well up with tears but I hold them back.

"I bet she sucks his dick! Do your knees hurt?" Another girl jeers. "You need some knee pads huh hunny?" by this time tears are falling out of my eyes. I wish they would just go away and stop bothering me. The pain at the back of my head increases as the girl tightens her grip on my hair.

"Please stop. I'm not like that." I blubber trying to pull myself from their grasp. I look around from the corner of my eyes and see that no one is helping me just staring some whispering and pointing. The red head lets go of me and grabs the glasses off my face throwing them down.

"What the hell! Get away from her you stupid bitches!" I hear Ino's voice scream from my left. I can see that the girls look at one another before the red head pushes my face causing me to fall backwards off the bench. I hit the ground smacking my head and back on the floor. My shines hit the underside of the table. I groan and more tears leak out I throw my hands up to covering my messy face.

"Hinata, are you okay?" I hear Tenten ask while helping me sit up. I just shake my head no. Ino helps Tenten lift me to my feet and we all walk out of the cafeteria. They end up taking me into the nurse's office and sit me down on the hospital like bed. Both of them hug me from both sides as I cry my eyes out.

"Ugh I swear I'll kick that little flaming hot cheeto head girl's ass." Ino claims in anger. I don't want Ino fighting anyone or doing anything rash so I just shook my head because I knew I couldn't speak at the moment. I don't understand why these girls always do these things to me. Why karma or whatever controls the way things are lets things like this happen to me. I've never hurt anyone I try my best. I try to be nice to everyone but I still get bullied relentlessly. I can't stand up for myself because I'm scared it will get worse.

Both Tenten and Ino left me in the nurse's office after I insisted that they go to class when the bell rang. The nurse had come in and automatically started checking me for injuries. When I told her I had hit my head she checked my eyes and all this other stuff told me I may have a concussion but I should just lie down for now and after school should be taken to the doctors.

I end up staying until the last bell of the day goes off. I decided to just hide out until it was time to go. Slipping out the door I blended into the crowd bowing my head down trying to become unseen. I look up when I stumble a little and make eye contact with one of those girls. My eyes water instantly. I bite my lip hard trying to stop my sobs from falling out of my mouth. I quicken my speed to the front of the school.

I take a deep breath as soon as I take a step out the door. A couple tears leak out of my eyes running down my cheeks. I scan the yard. I lock eyes with Sasuke who is standing at the gate. When he sees me I watch his eyes narrow and brows pull together. I try to crack a smile at him but it turns out awkward and forced. I direct my eyes to the floor taking longer strides hoping he won't say anything to me. Rubbing my palm against my eyes trying to wipe away all evidence of me crying someone calls out my name.

When the voice registers in my mind my eyes began to well up in tears again. I just want to run into his arms and cry now and that's just what I do. I start walking faster and gradually working my way into a full blown sprint towards Sasori. Before I could even make it to him someone grabs a hold of my hand sending me crashing into another pair of arms I wasn't expecting, Sasuke's. I push back clinging tightly to his shirt with one hand rubbing at my face with the other. I hear heavy foot steps before the stop beside me.

"What happened?" Through my broken lens I can see that they both glare at each other after speaking at the same time.

"What did you do?" They both yell at each other.

"I didn't do anything you go to school with her!" Sasori yells at Sasuke.

"She started crying when she saw you though!" Sasuke screamed back. They inched closer to one another smashing me in between them. No matter how upset I am I'm getting sick of being in this position. I tried my hardest to push them back. I think when they felt my weak attempt to stop them they realized I was still there. Sasuke was the first to react to me.

"Hinata what happened?" He rested his hand on top of my head bending down to look me in the eyes. "How did your glasses break?" I violently shook my head keeping my mouth shut and stepping back from him into Sasori. When I did this I saw Sasuke grimace some and lock his jaw. Sasori spun me around to face him. He smoothed his hand across my cheek touching the bottom of my broken lens.

"Did something happen at school today?" Sasori asked softly. I bite down on my bottom gnawing on it debating in my head whether or not to say something about it. I nodded my head a little. I didn't want to talk in fear of my voice breaking. It was probably hoarse from crying and blubbering in the nurse's office. "What happened today Hinata?"

"I fell." Just like I thought my voice came out all hoarse and raspy. It was gross. Sasori narrowed his eyes at me. I knew he didn't believe me but I was hoping he wouldn't call me out on it especially in front of Sasuke. If he does Sasuke may think it was his fault but it wasn't those girls just want some to pick on is all and a reason to pick on me.

"Bullshit." Sasuke called out. "If you want to lie fine but we all know that's a load of bull. Come on I'll take you home." Sasuke tugs on my hand in the direction of the parking lot. I paled at the thought of riding on the back of his motorcycle. It was common knowledge at this school that Sasuke was the only one with a motorcycle. He currently only had one helmet with him I bet.

I tugged back on his hand silently telling him to stop. He turned around and looked at me raising one eyebrow in question.

"I don't want to ride on the motorcycle." I shook my head franticly praying he would understand that I was just too scared to get on it. Sasuke dropped my hand and his face pulled into an expression of thoughtfulness.

"I'll take you home Hinata." Sasori offered. I looked over my shoulder and gave him a tiny smile. When I looked back at Sasuke I saw that he was glaring at Sasori over my head. He didn't seem all too happy. I don't know why he is upset but I need to get home soon. I look up at Sasuke trying to catch his attention to let him know I was leaving now. Our eyes connected and I tried to hold his gaze for a few seconds before I looked down at his shoes. He was wearing combat boots today. I saw those boots step closer to me. Sasuke grabbed my chin tilting my face up only to snatch my glasses off my face and pocket them from what I could see. I squinted as I watched his blob stalk away.

"What the hell man! Give Hinata her glasses back!" Sasori demanded in his heavy accent it sounded proper but very anger. When he didn't get a response Sasori grabbed my hand and guided me to his jeep since I could barely walk without possibly hurting myself.

As Sasori and I sat in the car in silence I stop to think about today. I really didn't want to come back to school the following day. If the girls saw what happened after school they will surely hurt me worse than today. I rested my hand on the middle console of the jeep curling my fingers in frustration. What was I going to do? If I fight back I'll get double hurt. Maybe if I ignore them they might leave me alone. Not that it ever worked before. I sighed heavily. I continued contemplating the situation.

I felt a warm hand placed on top of mine before it flipped my hand over hand laced our fingers together. I knew it was Sasori who else could it possible anyways. I looked up at him and I assumed he turned to face me so I gave him a weak smile then looked down at where our hands were. I leaned my head on window and gave Sasori's hand a little squeeze after he gripped tighter.

What was I going to do about all of this?
