I don't own Naruto or any of the characters. Kishimoto-san does. If he gave me the Naruto franchise, THEN I'D OWN NARUTO!

The Alphabet with NaruHina!
Q is for Questionable
Konoha no Hi High School.
Or just plain old Konoha High as most of the students knew it as. Hinata had yet to set foot on campus and she was already nervous. It was the first day. April had brought forth cherry blossoms and allergy season for the unfortunate. Hinata was dressed in the girls dress code; knee length pleated skirt with the traditional fuku white blouse and salmon colored scarf paired with knee high socks and loafers.
Her hands were shaking, clutching her book bag closer to her shoulder as she walked the steps into a new school year surrounded by new faces. "Hina-chan!" A voice belonging to a not so new person calls from down the hall.
"Suko-chan!" The pair greet each other and compare outfits. Mitsuko wore a pleated long sleeve fuku dress over a white blouse paired with tights and two inched platforms. "This school is huge! I mean..I know we had the tour beforehand and all, but golly!"
"You look lovely as always." Mitsuko throws in with a wide smile.
Hinata's face warms as she uttered her thanks and a compliment back. The bell rings and echoes in the halls. It was time for homeroom. The crowd of students bustles and file off into different classrooms with one another. "What room was it again?" Mitsuko asks as they walk the halls amongst the other students.
"1-7."
"A or B?" The pair stop in front of the classrooms right across from one another.
"It's A. Come one before the bell rings." Hinata was surprisingly the first to walk in.
"Alright student president, sheesh." Mitsuko grumbles. The room was nearly filled in. Some faces were recognizable from others due to growing up in the same town with one another, while other faces remained unknown. Whispers began to which Mitsuko gave a 'hmph' to. She dragged Hinata to seats in the middle of the room and made herself comfortable.
Hinata greeted the person to her left with a smile (Mitsuko was on her right) and dug into her bookbag for some reading material. The bell rung and right as her homeroom teacher, whose name was written on the board as Kurenai Yuhi, prepared to close the door, he walked in. Head as yellow as straw, he looked no different than he did all those years ago. It was Naruto.
Hinata poked Mitsuko in the thigh to gain her attention. "Hm?"
She counted the seconds for her best friend to notice before several pokes to the thigh let her know that Mitsuko was just as alarmed as her. The pair share a questionable look; what the hell was he doing in their homeroom class?!
Mitsuko let her head hit the desk in an attempt to muffle her rage. "This is going to be a long school year..."
Hinata stared for as long as she could. She watched as he apologized to Kurenai-sensei before finding a seat alongside the windows pouring in sunshine and the early morning breeze. His eyes snapped to her's and she couldn't will herself to look away. Did he recognize her? Did he know who she was? Was his heart pounding as hard as her own?
Hinata felt herself flush and hid behind the safety of her book. She felt lightheaded and regretful. She should've never came to Konoha High.
hellooo! a pretty light chapter, without the heartbreak and angst. its been years since characters have seen each other. what could go wrong? or right? still working in chapter Y and i am so exicted ahhhh. thanks for reading!
background facts;
i want to follow traditional japanese school schedules so thats why we are starting in spring versus summer. chapter Z will end with winter break. if i end up being inaccurate, just roll with it lol. i chose kurenai as their homeroom teacher because i always felt like her character arc/screentime was super quick. (just like homeroom!)
much love,,
