Title: Chapter 2
Later in the afternoon, Neji and Hinata rode in his platinum convertible, and as they exited the parking lot of Konoha High School...there was a loud honk and some cheering from behind Hinata. She turned around and saw that the cars she had seen before parked in the morning, actually belonged to Neji's friends.
It turns out that the yellow Lamborghini belonged to Naruto, who rode with Lee and Ten-Ten. Behind the yellow vehicle was a red Ferrari with Sakura and Ino turning up the radio, "Get Busy," by Sean Paul. There was later a loud VROOM and Neji honked the horn in return as Itachi and his motorcycle passed them and cruised casually down the street. Hinata looked past the cute Naruto and the wild girls in the red car, and saw that there was a solitary Sasuke in his blue Corvette.
"Don't worry, Hinata...I have more friends, they just...have some busy times," Neji winked at his cousin and Hinata rested on her elbow on the arm of her seat.
"Who is it?" Hinata couldn't wait to hear more.
"Well, when you left for your 'trip', I kind of changed," Neji smiled as he drove his car to the right and the rest of his friends followed him.
"Dramatic one too," Hinata remarked.
"You're funny...as I was saying, I have this friend...Shikamaru, he's not here right now...he had some difficulty with the staff at school," Neji laughed at the memory, and Hinata listened, "haha, it's hilarious to even think about what he did...you see, my friends and I...we dared Shikamaru to screw up the faculty," the platinum convertible continued on its straight path.
"And so, it ended up that he locked up the nurse at her room, and messed up the computers at the office...screwing up with people's grades...and yep...I love that guy, he gave me an A+ in Geometry," Neji looked at Hinata, and there was a troubled look on her face.
"That's not that bad," Hinata shook off the information.
"No, you should check out Sakura...man, she is the wild on in the group..." Hinata couldn't tell whether it was the sun burning on him, but he was a little red in the cheeks.
"What did she do? Have an argument with the teachers?" she asked.
"No, it was a week before you came back...in Honors Chemistry...they had this lab project, and Sakura was behind all of the work and decided to stay after school to finish up some stuff on her experiment," what Neji said made Hinata's eyes full and dilated.
"You mean she..."
"Yep, our Sakura deliberately mixed some chemicals together and started this leak of gas, which could have been fatal if she didn't add more of that green stuff she told me about, and plus...she added a fire to top it all off," Neji turned and waved to his friends, as Hinata reflected on the attitude of Sakura with the teacher in her Chemistry class.
"Did she get expelled?"
"No, she got suspended, but she ditched it...no one ever found out, except for us, if anyone did...we would cover for her..." Hinata was remarkably surprised at how close and faithful Neji are to his friends...and wondered if she would ever have friends like that. By that time, Neji finally pulled up at their driveway and stopped the car.
"Aren't you coming in?" Hinata grabbed her book bag and opened the door.
"Nah, I'll be back to study," he pointed to his friends who were anxiously waiting for him around the corner...Ino honked the horn as if to tell Neji to go right away.
"Ok, then...bye," Hinata waved goodbye to his cousin as he drove away with his friends. The dark-haired girl headed to the door and opened it, inside her Aunt and Uncle greeted her with warm cookies that had just come out of the oven.
"Oh, where is Neji?" her aunt and uncle asked. (We will call her Mr. and Mrs. Hyuga, k?)
Hinata took a bite out of the cookie and answered, "Oh...he..." but before she could finish, her relatives nodded.
"I know, dear...Neji had changed...we've received various calls from the Principal of how he ditches classes," Mrs. Hyuga sighed as her husband patted her gently on the back, "but we know that you will never be like that, honey..." she continued and Hinata nodded, with some doubt going on in her head.
"I got to go study, k?" Hinata kissed her relatives on the cheek before going up the stairs. When she reached her room, she looked across the hall and there was a door opened. It was Neji's room. Hinata looked around if her aunt and uncle were around, and when they weren't...she quietly went in.
It wasn't very big, but a medium-sized room. There was a window by his untidy bed, with lots of books all over his bed. There was a desk that had a leftover cookie on it with some crumpled up papers and broken pencils. Hinata then headed over to his bedside table where there were many picture frames. She bent down and looked carefully at each one, the first one was Hinata and Neji when they were toddlers and the other one displayed Neji shooting hoops with his dad. She put the two frames down and then looked at the walls and then walked over to one of them. It was a large picture of Neji and his present friends...but what was different was that they weren't dressed like the way they wore clothes now...but in a modest way. Clean way.
From the left to right, Itachi wore a formal tuxedo while Rock Lee and Ten-Ten where holding each other in the picture beside him. Next to Ten-Ten was Ino whose hair was up and wore a black halter dress, with a guy who held a hand on her shoulder. She assumed that it was Shikamaru, since he was the only unfamiliar face in the portrait. Her dark eyes then moved to Naruto who was on the side next to Shikamaru. Below them were three chairs and Neji who was in his white tux sat on the left and beside him was Sakura wore a sophisticated red gown with her hair down with curls and Sasuke sat next to her in a simple black tux on the right. Hinata smiled at the group and her eyes then looked up and on the frame, there were the words that said, "New Years Eve Dance"
Later, Hinata looked over to her side and paid attention to the books that were laid on Neji's bed. One of them was a thin hardcover book, and on it said Konoha High School Yearbook. She sat down on the soft bed and turned the cover that were filled with numerous of students doing their daily activities. She then turned to the next page and it was labeled Freshmen. Hinata looked at each of the small portraits of the students and then stopped at the first one.
Haruno Sakura
Her hair was cropped short and she wore some cherry coated earrings to correlate with her pink blouse she wore. Also, the pale skin of hers were still the same, but what had changed was that her eyes in the portrait were friendly green, while during Chemistry, her eyes were of a darker shade. Then she headed to the next few pictures.
Hyuga Hinata
She blushed at her picture, she couldn't believe that she wore that pale lavender zip-up shirt with her hair down with a lily in her hair. The facial expression showed as if she was staring at you...Hinata then looked to the next picture of Neji.
Hyuga Neji
His hair was still the same, long and black...and he wore a gray sweater this time and he didn't at all smile. The girl then turned a few pages and then stopped.
Rock Lee (Is that his last name?)
He had a goofy smile and he still had that bowl haircut. This time he wore a green T-shirt with a black stripe in the middle, and then Hinata turned a few pages.
Ten-Ten (Sorry, I have no idea what her last name is)
Her hair was in the same hairstyle as today, but she wore a pink peasant top with a shimmering hairclip that held her hair. Her smile was gentle and sweet, like the one she displayed at lunch that afternoon.
Nara Shikamaru
His hair was in a ponytail and his facial expression showed that he wanted to get out of there. He wore a black and white shirt, that matched his hair color.
Uchiha Itachi
There was not at all a friendly vibe coming from his picture. His eyes bore into Hinata's and he just wore a simple black shirt.
Uchiha Sasuke
His hair was spiked up and he wore a blue vest and white shirt behind it. In this picture, unlike his brothers...he still had a hint of a grin, that was at the corner of his mouth.
Uzumaki Naruto
Hinata blushed at his innocent smile that showed pearly white teeth. He wore a black leather jacket and a white shirt.
After a few page turnings and a look at Neji's room, she decided to go back to her room. When she entered into her own bedroom, she laid herself on her bed and thought of what her aunt had told her.
"but we know that you will never be like that honey," Hinata dubiously thought that her guardians were somewhat wrong about her...
