ITemptChaos: "Im excited to see where this story goes. Please keep up the good work :)"
Aww! Thank you! I'm personally excited myself to!
Rosedove: "Good start, and i wish you luck and more inspiration in continuing this story. I will be reading for sure...but for the love of all things holy, please put the author notes at the end or beginning of the chapter because it is quite distracting."
Thanks love! I'm sorry about that *insert laughing emoji here* I couldn't help it, because I know a lot of readers do not read Author's Note, so I thought. I'll make them read it! But I guess it can be distracting. I'll keep that in mind!
A/N: Hey, everyone! I'm sorry for the late update time. I said Thursday, and it is a bit late ( time wise, it is 8:25am right now for me) , and I'm sorry about that :(. I had written a whole chapter for you guys, but then I deleted it yesterday, because I wasn't satisfied with it. So are you guys happy? WOO I stayed up late last night to type some of it up, and I used my study block in school to write some more. And I paused my homework grind for this. Smh. I love you guys, thats why. Anyways, enjoy this chapter. Apologies if it seems rushed.
"Ino! Hurry up! We have to go!" Sakura's voice echoed from the living room of their apartment. Ino quickly applied her highlighter on her cheekbones and nose bridge using her new fan brush, she had recently purchased.
"Ino! It's go time!" Sakura's voice repeated agian, ushering her to hurry. Gosh, who does she thinks she is? Rushing beauty like that! A woman has priorities to make herself look cute. Whether it was for someone else or for herself!
"Yeah, Ino! Let's go! Im starving!"
This time it was Naruto's voice that had ushered her. She clicked her tongue in annoyance and closed her highlighter and proceeded to clean up her vanity.
Ino jogged over to grab her purse and green jacket that had the words
"Save the Earth!" With a picture of the Earth, stitched on the back. She grabbed a water bottle on her night stand and began to water her plants.
"Ino! Quit stalling! People are hungry!" Once again. That annoying voice. If it would just shut up for once.
Ito's annoyance swirled into her chest and had exploded all in one second,
"Tch! Shut up! Forehead! Im coming out in a minute!"
Once she finished watering her plants, she disposed of the empty plastic into a recycle bin that was placed in next to her writing desk.
The restaurant was a bit busy. The soft jazz music played over the speakers, while people's voices chattered and laughed over it.
Ino took a moment to enjoy the sound of the different percussions that blended so beautifully together. It had reminded her of innocent times as a child. When she never knew about the cruelty of what the world holds. Memories of when her father and mother would take her to the park every week, and pick flowers with her.
Ino and Hinata stood in front of the boys, with their arms looped together, chattering softly.
Sakura had went up to the hostess asking her for a table of six. Ion noticed the hostess's eyes lingered over to the boys. Ion studied as the woman's face slowly reddens up against her light caramel skin.
The hostess nodded and looked at the group and said,
"Right this way." She began walking off to a table for the group to sit at. She gave out menus and went over information about food deals, and when our server would arrive.
The girls sat on one side, while the boys sat on the other. They all grabbed their menus and carefully glanced over each dish.
"Oh I heard the noodles here were good! I would like to try it!" Ino exclaimed. She glanced up from her menu to see if the pale artsy boy, in front of her would react in some way. And to her disappointment, he did not.
She sighed and went back to looking over her menu.
Not a few seconds later, Sai had spoke.
"Well, I don't know what to get, so I guess I will get the same as you, um, uh, um"
Did he forget her name? How rude, the first thing you should do when meeting people, is atlas remembering their names. Ino's face turned into a hard frowned, glared down at her menu.
"Beautiful." At that word, Ino was caught off guard.
Beautiful.
Beautiful. She repeated those words over in her head. Then she felt an overwhelming rush of anxiety and happiness run from the top off her head, and down to her legs.
Oh god, she can feel it herself. Her face was starting to get warmer. That was absolutely never a good sign.
Ino did her best to push away the nervousness she felt, down to the bottom of her heart, and looked at him.
"B-Beautiful? W-why thank you, Sai!" She stuttered. On this very day, was the first day that she ever stuttered due to nervousness. Much less, nervousness caused by a boy.
Hinata turned her head to face Ino who sat in the middle of them. Her face was a bit red and nervously played with her hands. Hinata couldn't help but let out a little chuckle. . Seeing the girl that rarely gets nervous about anything, get nervous now because of a boy, is quite surprising.
Hinata's mind began to wander, but was soon cut off when Sakura opened her mouth to ask the boys a question.
"So I'm assuming you guys are in college, right? I saw your textbooks and all."
Naruto blinked at her and gave a huge grin,
"We do! Believe it!"
"What school do you go to, and what for?" Ino added in, refusing to take her eyes off of the oblivious man in front of her.
"Naruto and I go to X university. Same as you, Ino" Sasuke stated in a dull yet smooth tone.
"Oh, why didn't you say so earlier?" Ino gushed. Hinata glanced at Naruto and back to Ino and couldn't help but feel a tinge of jealousy. She wished Naruto went to her school instead on X university.
Hinata started taking small sips of her iced tea and played around with the straw as Naruto continued to talk.
"Sai goes to an art school at A. It seems fantastic."
Hinata glanced over at Ino watching of for her reaction.
"Oh Sai! That is an amazing school! I heard its hard to get in! That's wonderful!" Ino continued to gush.
"Thank you, beautiful." Sai smiled politely at Ino. From what Hinata can see, she was getting flustered again. The way her face got red, the way she played with her thumbs and heavy breathing that only she and Sakura could see. Hinata leaned forward and began taking huge sips in her tea, while listening to the jumbled chatter of the table around them.
"Me and this dumb ass Sasuke, have full scholarship rides to X university for basketball!" Naruto boasted. Hinata, choked a bit on probably air. She reached over to grab a napkin cloth and coughed into that. Full scholarship. Wow!
"A-amazing Naruto! Y-you have a full scholarship to X university, thats really great!" Hinata complimented nervously.
Oh gosh, she could feel her cheeks begin to warm up as soon as she opened her mouth. Did Naruto think she was stupid? Probably, oh why did she even speak.
Naruto stared at her with some sort of intensity in his eyes and gave her a smile.
"Not as great as you, Hinata!"
She was caught off guard by his words. What does he mean not as good as her. She doesn't believe she's that great at all.
"No, no I wouldn't say that! I'm not that great, I promise you!" She brushed away his compliment, as if it was nothing, but to her it meant a lot to her.
"Are you kidding me?" Hinata stopped sipping her tea and looked up to see a fuming Naruto. Her face got a little pale. Does he hate her?
"Hinata, you seem like an amazing person! Not only are you the heiress of Hyuga Corporation, but you are in the best business school in the world. If that doesn't scream amazing, then I don't know what does. And, I don't wanna hear about how you got in because of your last name or anything. It takes real talent to pull through these things."
By the end of Naruto's sentence, her cheeks were probably redder than a tomato. She couldn't help but feel a rush of happiness that traveled down and up her body.
"Yeah, Hinata's awesome alright. She helped me file my taxes for my business, and took care of all the paperwork." Ino boasted. Hinata couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, but of course, out of happiness.
"Guys I-" She was abruptly cut off, when Sakura started talking.
"Of course Hinata is amazing. She did get into the college solely on talent alone." Sakura gushed.
Hinata couldn't help but smile at her friends' encouraging words. She looked at her friends, and looked at Naruto, who was staring right at her.
"You have a beautiful smile! That smile will surely land you business deals in the future!" Naruto said.
"See, I told you! You are amazing! Do not doubt yourself!" He grinned boldly. Ino and Sakura nodded in agreement while smiling.
And, on time, the food they have been waiting for, finally came out.
All their faces, except for Sasuke's turned into a excited look as they watched the waiter announce a dish that they have ordered, and handing it to the person.
The waiter finished giving everyone their food and Sakura had told everyone not to eat their food, just yet.
Confused, everyone looked at Sakura as she pulled her iPhone 8+ and snapped a photo of the food.
Just when everyone was about to eat, she yelled loudly to the table,
"Not yet!" Once again, in confusion everyone stared at Sakura with a type of begging in their eyes that had asked her to let them eat.
She tapped a button on her phone and lifted the camera up in the air.
Everyone leaned forward and scootched a bit to be in the photo. She snapped multiple photos asking everyone to pull off a certain facial expression.
After a few photos, she put her phone down and squealed in excitement to finally eat her food.
"Alright, everyone! Let's eat!" Naruto announced.
A/N: Wow! I'm sorry if it seems rushed. Did you guys know, the previous chapter I had prepared for you guys was dragged on quite a lot. And this scene would have happened in chapter 4, instead of this chapter. But, I decided I shouldn't do that. Because, that would be hell to make you wait an extra week just to get some Naruhina action.
