"Chapter One: The new Boy-er Girl"

"RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNGGGGG" The unusually loud school bell could be heard from Hinata's house.

"SHIMATTA! First day of school and I'm already late!" With her hair still wet, Hinata hurriedly pranced around, tossing on her clothes, one slice of toast in her mouth; she quickly grabbed her bag, slammed the door behind her and locked it.

"Not good! Not good! Not good!!" She chanted while running to school, forgetting all about her bike.

She ran all the way to Shohoku High School, a fair distance for a fourteen- year-old. Huffing and puffing, she dragged her bag into the gates of the school. The weather was pleasant around her, it was sunny, yet not hot or cold.

She was looking around for a teacher when -something- bumped into her and they both fell over.

"Hey! Watch it!" Hinata yelled at the guy.

He just said "Doaho" and walked away.

"Why you...!" Hinata started.

"Don't worry... he's really like that ever since he moved here."

"Oh... what a weird guy..."

"I'm Kogure Kiminobu, by the way."

"Watashi wa Kidou-

"Uh-oh... cheerleaders! They seem to be running after him again."

"After who?"

"Rukawa. He has his own cheering squad."

"Now that's WEIRD. Who in the world would want to like THAT guy?"

"I have no idea..."

"Um... anyways, would you might know where the year-one, class-ten room is?"

"Hm? Oh, it's right down the hall over there to your right."

"Ok, Thanks!"

"See you around, Kidou!"

"Uh... see you around Kogure-san!" She said before running towards her new classroom.

'Knock... Knock... Knock...' Hinata rapped on the door of the year-one, class-ten room.

"By the way, class... we have a new student-oh, please come in... *Mister* Kidou" The teacher said, straining his eyes on the piece of paper with HER surname scrawled on it.

She entered the room, her backpack over her shoulder, in casual clothes. She wore a loose black-and-blue shirt with baggy dark blue jeans. She looked more male than she was female.

"Wa~~~ mite-mite~~~ hora anohito!!" (Wow! Look! Look! That guy!)

" Ehh? Ahh! Hontou da~~ Iketeruyone?" (What? Oh yeah! He's so handsome!) the girls swooned over Hinata, thinking all along that she was a he.

"Ehem... anyway, back to the lesson..." the teacher continued. "Introductions can be don't later... Mister Kidou, please sit beside Mister Rukawa over there."

'Oh no... that guy again..." She thought to herself.

"Well? Go on..." The teacher told her off.

"B-But I-agh... nandemonai..." (Nevermind) She slumped and walked over towards Rukawa's right side, at the very back of the class. Two girls were seated in front of both of them.

"..." Rukawa stared at her.

"Nannano?" (WHAT?) She demanded.

"...Nandemonai..." (Nevermind) Rukawa replied.

Sitting in the middle of a boring lecture, Hinata's eyelids were slowly dropping... Rukawa, who was at her left side, must have felt the same, too... He was snoring away, drooling all over his desk. Hinata leaned on her desk, struggling to keep her eyes open... she eventually gave in to the sandman.

"Zzzz" Rukawa went.

"Zzzzzzzzz" Hinata joined in, but not as loud.

"Ah! Kidou-sama ga neteru~~~~" (Aww, look--he's sleeping!)

"Kawaii~ ne~~~" (He's so cute!) The girls in front of Hinata sighed dreamily as they watched her sleep.
