Well, there you go

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or close to me by the cure or beep by the pussycat dolls

Hinata waved goodbye to her mother as she walked into her school, Friday. Hinata was excited yet shitting herself at the same time. She was completely beside herself with emotions, she had no idea what to say, do or…

"Hinata! Excited!? I hope there is a hottie in my class," Karin ran up to Hinata smiling, "I have maths."

"I have science, to tell you the truth I'm a bit nervous," Hinata smiled sheepishly.

Karin nodded, "Nervous? Don't be! It's our chance girl, knock 'em dead! Anyway I am taking my leave, the bell is about to go. Wish me luck."

Hinata did so as her cheerful friend rushed off and the small teenager slumped as she made her way to her locker. She was about to have a nervous breakdown, she was sure of it. The bell rang and Hinata sprinted to her locker, she needed to get to class on time…

This was it, Hinata was standing outside her classroom. She peered in and almost had a heart attack, boys were there, and she cursed herself for being late. Now she would attract much unwanted attention. Hinata was about to run for it when a ghostly white face came in front of her.

"Care to join us?"

Hinata smothered her scream and managed to squeak, "Sorry for being late."

The ghostly man smirked, "No problem, I haven't called the role yet. I'm your teacher, Orochimaru-sensei."

Hinata blinked, stunned, she had a man for a teacher? A gross looking man at that, this camping course was turning her whole world upside down, she had never ever been taught by a man before. On top of that the whole class had noticed her.

"Hello, excuse me, what is your name?"

"Hyuga Hinata," Hinata blushed heavily as she glanced nervously around the room.

"Hinata, take a seat," Orochimaru gestured to the back.

Hinata nodded and turned around, she almost died, boys…everywhere! Not one girl she recognised. There seemed to be a shortage of girls, maybe there was some sort of illness that only females could catch. That must explain it. Hinata nodded to herself as she made her way to the back. She decided the only possible thing she could do was to completely ignore every male in the whole classroom and focus on the teacher and fellow women. And that is what she did, while the other girls talked and chatted (in other words, flirted) with boys, Hinata was perfecting tunnel vision. She was in the zone until she noticed a noise coming from behind her. It was singing, more like a murmured tune, Hinata smiled softly as she listened and tried to resist the urge to turn around to see who was singing but it got the better of her. Hinata slowly turned her head, as if to stare out the window but instead she looked at a shock of blonde hair. It was as if electricity was coursing through her, there was a boy laying his head on the table, i-pod in ears, murmuring some sort of lyrics to an unnamed song.

"I've waited hours for this, I've made myself so sick I wished I'd stayed asleep today…I never thought this day would end I never thought tonight could ever be this close to me," the blonde lifted a hand and began to tap a tune on the plastic desk.

"Uzumaki!"

The boy looked up and Hinata jumped slightly when his striking blue eyes met hers; he smiled, not big like Hinata imagined he would, but small and kind. Hinata felt her heart twist, surge and expand; she weakly smiled back and flipped around. She shook her head and tried to clear her mind but it wasn't working. She looked up at her new teacher fearfully, he really creeped her out.

"Uzumaki, how does nitrogen from the atmosphere convert into nitrates?" Orochimaru smirked.

The blonde raised an eyebrow, sleepily sat up straight and yawned, "Nitro-what?"

Hinata smiled shyly as the rest of the class laughed at the boy. Orochimaru was smiling too but he didn't seem all too pleased.

"Take out your earphones and thankyou for entertaining our class this morning, would you care to sing anything else Naruto?" Orochimaru sneered.

Naruto took out his i-pod and pulled back his chair, "Actually I would."

Hinata's eyes widened as she watched the strange and confident boy stride to the front of the classroom. Orochimaru glared daggers and sat down, he decided to let the boy continue. Hinata watched, shocked, as the blonde climbed onto the teacher's desk and grinned at everyone. She had never ever seen someone do such a thing, never seen someone go against a teacher like that and yet she wasn't afraid. She actually found it quite likeable and the rest of the class obviously thought so as well. They all quitened down as Naruto had cleared his voice, he was ready he then started to dance…like the pussycat dolls…

"They always got a plan to be my one and only man!" Naruto yelled as he started to jirate his hips.

Hinata gasped and the whole class erupted in noise as Naruto continued to sing and point at people. Orochimaru got up and reached to grab Naruto but Naruto dodged and continued to sing and jirate his hips from side to side.

"UZUMAKI!"

Naruto laughed and leaped to the front row of tables, the boys catcalled and the girls mainly stayed quiet, Hinata could only widen her big lavender eyes further.

"Naruto, down now if you don't want to visit the principal!" Orochimaru screamed.

Naruto smirked and jumped to the floor, "Chill, you're the one who wanted to be entertained. Good enough for you? What do you think?"

The class cheered and Naruto nodded his head, Orochimaru merely pointed a finger to Naruto's desk and kept his hand in the air until the rowdy boy sat down. Hinata quickly glanced over her shoulder at him and she was met again with those striking blue eyes.

The poor, sheltered thing whipped around to face the front and she shook her head and tried to pay attention for the rest of the lesson but once the bell went for the end of class she couldn't recall anything that Orochimaru had said. All she could remember was the tabletop dancing performed by Naruto. Hinata wondered slightly if it would be like that all the time if she hung around boys. She decided that she preferred a more calm existence and she quickly got up from her desk and sprinted for the door. Something had happened to her in science, right when she held eye contact with that boy, it was as if she had been pushed into the deep end of a pool and she didn't have a ladder to get out. Karin could help her; she could throw her a life jacket. But maybe she didn't want to be saved. Hinata held a hand to her cheek and leaned against the wall outside the science lab, maybe the blonde boy could actually be her saviour…her lifesaver…

"Hey."

Hinata screamed and dropped her books.

"Sorry, sorry, my bad!"

Hinata just stood there, dumb, she couldn't believe her eyes. The boy, the boy was holding her books out to her.

"Hello, sorry, here," the sunny boy handed the books over and held out his hand, "I'm Naruto, well you probably already know my name. Orochimaru has a good set of lungs, doesn't he?"

Hinata didn't take Naruto's hand; she couldn't bring herself to do so. She didn't answer him either; she just stared at the floor and tried to fight down her growing blush. Naruto awkwardly lowered the hand and coughed, he then looked up at her and hesitated for a moment.

"I-

"I-

The two both started, then stopped.

"Sorry, you first," Naruto said.

Hinata shook her head and shyly glanced up at him.

"You're a shy thing, aren't you? That is one thing I'm not, but don't worry, I talk a lot so you won't have to say much. Actually there is something I want you to say."

Hinata looked up slowly.

"What's your name?" Naruto asked cheerfully.

"Hinata," Hinata was barely audible.

"Hinata? Nice, we have sport now, I'm doing soccer, what sport are you doing?"

Hinata walked next to the chattering boy, she had never felt so self-conscious in her life. Come to think of it, this Friday has been full of first things, from having a male teacher to…now.

"Cricket," Hinata managed to breath, oh come on spastic, say something! He probably thinks I have some sort of brain damage. Right now I have talked to a boy my age, if you could call three words a conversation and he is right next to me. It's my chance!

"So you know where we are going, exactly?" Naruto broke the silence.

Hinata realised they were walking in the opposite direction to the school ovals, "I…uh, yes, the ovals are the other way."

Naruto felt pleased, the girl finally spoke a sentence, "Nice school."

Hinata nodded and they continued to walk, she played possible conversation starters in her head and she finally summoned up the confidence to say something.

"You sing?"

"What?"

Hinata mentally beat herself up for sounding so idiotic, "I mean…do you sing in a choir or-

"Choir? Pfft," Naruto laughed.

Hinata looked the other way and felt her face go on fire, she really was an idiot, of course he didn't do choir.

"No, I don't do choir but I like music. You must be asking because of my performance in science. I just have too much energy, that's the main reason for what I do," Naruto laughed slightly and mumbled something about choir.

Hinata felt relieved yet disappointed when they came upon the ovals, she had hardly said anything to Naruto and all he had done was laugh at her. Hinata sighed, then she realised how late they both were.

"Ah, I have to go, we're really late," Hinata mumbled, she looked as if she was about to run when she stopped and turned to face Naruto, "I…I liked your singing by the way…and dancing."

"Really? I reckon all I needed was a pair of hooker heels and I'd be a regular sex symbol," Naruto grinned at Hinata.

Hinata had nothing to say to this and she quickly ran off leaving an amused Naruto. He watched the small teenager race off and smiled again, she was a mystery he decided, a real mystery.

Ok?

I hope it wasn't boring, but I felt serious so I wrote a serious chapter…
