Sorry about the late update peoples!!! Computer screwed up and all… Anyways, on the bright side…I give you Perfect Girl, Hinata…CHAPTER 3!
PLEASE NOTE! A LOT. I REPEAT. A LOT OF CHARACTERS ARE OOC.
Warning: This story contains Ino-bashing. So yes, if you like Ino please leave now; don't say you haven't been warned. I hold nothing against her. She was simply just chosen to be the antagonist of this story.
Chapter 3 – First Meeting
It was so silent you could have heard a pin drop.
Everyone's attention was focused on the girl who was now standing nervously on the spot, darting quick glances at the people who were in the school yard. At first, no one recognised the undeniably pretty girl. But there was only one girl in the whole school who had that unique shade of lavender eyes and dark blue hair.
It was Hinata Hyuuga…THE Hinata Hyuuga.
And right behind her were the three most gorgeous guys that anyone has ever seen.
Hinata stared at the ground and fiddled with the hem of her skirt, wishing that the ground would just swallow her up so that she could disappear forever. God, I hate Obaa-chan for doing this. She felt someone give her a gentle shove from behind. She looked back icily to see Naruto and Kiba shooing her on and Sasuke giving her a pointed look which was something along the lines of Remember what we told you last night.
How could she forget…they spent up till 2 in the morning lecturing her on what she should do and shouldn't do as soon as she walked into school. It wasn't until a very tired Hinata started cracking her knuckles with a very pissed of look on her face, that the three guys shut their mouths.
She turned back round, took a deep breath and looked up. It was a sight she probably would never forget…everyone was staring at her with their jaw dropped open…she also noted that a few guys were dribbling…oh god. She began to make her way to the front door that would lead her to the art classroom.
Last nights conversation started to ring through her mind. Don't make eye contact, just keep on walking, and act like everything is normal. She tried to ignore the stares that everyone was giving her. Look up don't look down. She lifted her head up a little more...just focus on the freaking door. And god, whatever you do…DON'T FALL.
Come on, nearly there…2 more metres. She began to quicken her pace and then…she stumbled. Oh god… She felt herself falling and she could hear snickers throughout the whole school. Suddenly she felt a strong hand steady her and then she found herself staring into passionless, dull jade green eyes.
Blushing slightly she pulled back and muttered a thanks. Looking up she saw that her saviour was a guy with short messy red hair and…was that eyeliner? There was no emotion on his face whatsoever. She had never seen him around before…was he new?
"Nice trip there, Hinata-chan"
Girly giggles filled the air and Hinata had to try and suppress the urge to roll her eyes. She'd recognise that annoying shrill voice anywhere…it belonged to none other than Yamanaka Ino who was most probably being surrounded by her mob of girls.
She was also a company heir like Hinata…in fact, the Yamanaka and Hyuuga's were rivals in business. This had Ino taking it into her account that she had to make everyday a living hell for Hinata.
Hinata sighed and gave one last withering glare at Ino before she disappeared into the building…completely forgetting about the three guys, who were now standing dumbly by the front gates, unsure of where to go.
As soon as Hinata was out of sight, the whole school erupted again into conversation, their main topic: Hinata.
Naruto glanced at the Sasuke and Kiba, both who looked slightly relieved that Hinata hadn't made too much of a fool of herself. "So…where's the prin-" He didn't get to finish his question because…
"AFTER THEM!!!"
The guys looked up with dread and saw a huge crowd of girls running towards them. Without even looking at each other they knew what they had to do…
"RRUUUNNNN!!!!"
Hinata sighed inwardly as she made her way out of her roll call class. As she walked down the corridors she could feel people staring and she could hear people whispering…most likely about her. Trying to avoid any gazes she slipped into the more deserted corridors which lead her to the art classroom.
Finally arriving at her destination she stopped at the door and entered the empty classroom, whilst breathing a sigh of relief…finally she could just go into her little corner and…
She stopped when she saw that someone else had already taken her usual spot. Her brow furrowed a little. Curious she started to walk nearer to her… 'intruder'. The mystery person looked up and Hinata felt her eyes widen a little. It was the guy from this morning. He was regarding her with an indifferent gaze, making Hinata feel slightly uncomfortable.
"Ano…thank you for this morning…"
All she got was a curt nod before he went back to whatever he was painting. Hinata felt a slight twinge of annoyance…he could at least have said something in reply. Sighing she went to sit next to him…at least it was close to the corner. The guy looked up and lifted an eyebrow but didn't say anything. Hinata proceeded to get out her paints but at the corner of her eye she was in fact looking at the guy who was sitting next to her.
She hadn't really got much of how he looked like from this morning and looking at him now she realised that he well…wasn't that bad-looking. His crimson red hair seemed to flame under the sunlight and the way his brow furrowed whilst he was concentrating was pretty cute…WAIT…WHERE DID THAT THOUGHT COME FROM??
Hinata shook her head to clear away any other thoughts and forced herself to start sketching out the painting she was going to do. Soon, she was totally absorbed in her own world, oblivious to the fact that the classroom was starting to fill up and also oblivious to the fact that a girl with her hair ties in two buns plopped herself into a seat next to Hinata.
So it was only natural that she got freaked out when someone suddenly went…
"OH MY GOD…YOU HAVE TALENT GIRL!"
Startled, Hinata drew a jagged line across her page. She sighed and glared at the girl; however the other female didn't recoil, in fact she offered her a sheepish smile and stuck out her hand. "Gomen, Gomen, my name's Tenten. Yours?" Hinata looked down and started to rub out the mark, refusing to look up at Tenten.
"Well?"
Maybe if I just ignored her then she'll live me alone…yeah, that sounds good.
However, her happiness was short-lived when, Kurenai (her art teacher) came to check up on her sketch. "Nice job Hinata, its coming along nicely". Kurenai paused a bit when she looked at the guy sitting next to Hinata, "Gaara…perhaps you should tone it down a bit with the blood". Hinata's eyebrow rose up slightly…so his name was Gaara…she sneaked a glance at his painting and she suppressed a shiver. Ok, the guy definitely had some issues.
Kurenai was about to walk away when she turned around with a small smile on her face. "By the way Hinata…I like your new look" Immediately the whole classes attention focused onto her and Hinata felt like shrinking into her seat and disappearing underneath the desk…oh kami-sama…
Meanwhile with Sasuke…
KILL ME…
Sasuke had been chased around the whole school by crazed girls for nearly half an hour already. Thank god his class didn't start until later that afternoon…
"KYYYAAAAAA!!! SASUKE-KUNNN!!!!"
Oh dear god.
Spying an empty corridor he slipped inside, hoping that the shadows will hide him from crazed fan girls. He held his breath when the group walked near him, puzzling on where their…object of affection…had disappeared off to. He started to breathe again when the group moved on, convinced that he was hiding in the library.
Craning his neck, he was about to walk out again when he saw that the corridor lead to an opening. Maybe he should hide out there for a while until classes…
He walked along the corridor and then found himself in a small grass opening, with sakura trees dotted here and there, laying the ground with its petals. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that no-one was there and was about to plop himself onto the grass when he spotted a figure sitting underneath one of the sakura trees.
Freezing he tried to quietly back his way out. But it was too late. A pair of bright emerald green eyes was already fixed on him. Oh god. He waited for the usual uproar but instead the girl just went back to whatever she was reading. Eh? Curious he edged closer again and he saw that the female had unusual bright pink hair which blended well with the sakura tree she was sitting against. Smirking, he came closer still and sat down beside her.
She didn't even look at him, though he could faintly see a trace of annoyance and he could have sworn that he saw her eyebrow twitch. He tried to suppress the urge to smirk again; instead he got out a book of his own and began reading as well. There was silence between the two for about ten or so minutes before it was broken by…
"Ano…why are you sitting here?"
Looking up he regarded her with a blank look, which seemed to piss her off, if the veins that were starting to appear on her head was any indication. Hhhmmm…she seems a lot like Hinata. "What? It's a free country" The veins grew larger and the emerald eyes seemed to be sparking with anger.
She was about to retort when a high shrill voice pierced the atmosphere.
"WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING TO SASUKE-KUN, FORE-HEAD GIRL?"
Sasuke sighed and began to pack his books. Great…He glanced at 'fore-head girl' and well…let's just say that it wasn't a pretty sight.
"Shut up Ino-pig, I wasn't doing anything to Sasuke-kun …anyways; he wouldn't want anything to do with you"
Ino's face went slightly red with anger and she looked like she was going to blow…
"WELL AT LEAST I WASN'T THE ONE WHO WAS ALWAYS FOLLOWING OTHER PEOPLE BECAUSE I WAS WEAK, SAKURA-CHAN"
…no wait, she did blow.
Sasuke sighed and began to walk away from the verbal fight. He caught a glimpse of the pink-haired girl, Sakura was it? She was quivering with anger…oh yeah, Ino had definitely struck a chord.
"I'D RATHER HAVE A BIG FOREHEAD AND HAVE A BRAIN UNLIKE YOU INO-PIG, WHO DOESN'T EVEN HAVE A BRAIN"
Sasuke had to resist the urge to smirk; instead he made his way towards the corridor. He could distantly hear Ino calling out his name and at the same time throwing insults at Sakura. Sasuke turned his head to catch one last glimpse of the pink-haired girl. Who seemed to have calmed down and had resumed reading her book, totally ignoring Ino. A slight smile flickered across Sasuke's face.
She was definitely something different alright.
Ok, so this chapter definitely was not all that great…I'M SORRY PEOPLES! But I had to use this chapter to set things up and stuff…I promise you, there will definitely be a lot more 'exciting' things happening in the next chapter! As well as naruhina fluff. (hopefully). As you can see so far, another pairing I have decided to include was sasusaku and also there will be slight gaahina later (one sided…this IS a naruhina story).
NEXT UPDATE WILL BE VERY VERY SOON!
One more note, I have a new one-shot called 1000 Cranes, it's a nejiten fic so yupz, if you're a fan of this pairing please check it out!!
Thanks everyone! – everlasting.rainbow
