That Wednesday morning Hinata woke up in smiles. She got up in time for school and felt much happier then yesterday.
Hinata thought, "I figure yesterday would be horrible but instead I…"
Hinata smiled and thought, "…somehow Naruto managed to turn my day around with his oh-so-obvious charm".
Hinata walked into her bathroom and washed her face. Then, She put on her school uniform and grabbed her bag.
She thought, "Hopefully today will be as good as yesterday".
Hinata walked near the kitchen entrance and took a deep inhale of her father's breakfast cooking. The aroma made her tummy wanting more.
She walked into the kitchen and watched as her father shuffled around the room she said, "Dad that smells wonderful".
Hiashi turned around to Hinata, smiled, and said, "Well, you were in such a terrible mood yesterday I just thought you thought my cooking wasn't up to par".
Hinata felt sadden that her father thought that and said in a low, child-like voice, "I'm sorry father, your cooking is always great but I couldn't bring myself to eat your food and enjoy it like I usually do, It would be a disgrace to you and your cooking if I ate it in my depression."
Hiashi walked over to his daughter and contained her in a hug.
He lowered his head over Hinata's and said, "You're just like your mother, always looking out for other's best interests and trying your very hardest at everything…"
A tear ran down Hinata's cheeks as her father talked about her mother.
Hiashi continued, " She always had smile on her face and was determined to reach her goal and even thought she had bumps and bruises in the journey she always knew how to pick her self up and continue on…she was a real warrior".
Hinata smiled thinking about her mother and how strong-willed she was.
Hinata said, "yeah, mom was the best at everything she put her mind too".
Hiashi laughed and said, "yeah, and she was stubborn and troublesome, too".
Hinata wiped the tear from her cheek, laughed, and said, "I think Hanabi inherited that."
They both laughed and Hanabi walked into the kitchen yawning and stretching out her arms.
She looked at her father and her sister hugging and said, "Did I miss another family moment"?
Hinata separated from Hiashi and said, "Yup".
They all sat down at their breakfast table and Hinata ate her father's food and enjoyed it.
Soon Hinata was out the door and ready to start the day. Before even getting to the school lawn Ten Ten came running up to her.
She said, "Don't think you're getting off that easy".
Hinata gave a puzzled look and said, "About what"?
Ten Ten put her hand on her hip and whispered, "About our phone conversation yesterday".
Hinata said, "Ohhh, you mean Naruto kissing me".
Ten Ten hit Hinata in the arm and said, "How could you keep something that HUGE from me".
Hinata replied, "I thought you were going to be over dramatic about… like how you are being now."
Ten Ten took a deep breath and said, "You are the luckiest girl in the school".
Hinata said, "How does kissing a guy make you lucky"?
Ten Ten rolled her eyes and said, "Kissing a normal guy doesn't make you lucky but kissing Naruto Uzumaki does."
Ten Ten continued, "What was it like"?
Hinata blushed and said, "I'm not going to tell you".
Ten Ten smiled and said, "I bet his lips were soft".
Hinata put her hand on Ten Ten shoulder and said, "You're dating my cousin and talking about another guys lips… should I be worried"?
Ten Ten pushed Hinata's hand off her shoulder and said, "I like Neji a lot so don't be worried but I'm just visualizing".
Hinata said, "Can we change the subject"?
Ten Ten remembered and said, "Hinata, I almost forgot today is the BIG day."
In a confused look Hinata said, "What BIG day"?
Ten Ten flashed a mischievous smile and said, "Let's just say this is the day where your popularity is about to sky rocket".
Hinata asked, "Ten Ten what did you do"?
Ten Ten was about to speak but the bell rang and she ran way only yelling out, "You'll thank me later".
Hinata walked to class trying to figure out what Ten Ten was talking about. She sat in her assigned seat not even noticing Sakura was sitting next to her talking more about Naruto.
Hinata thought, "What is Ten Ten going to do to boost my popularity"?
Suddenly, the school announcements came on a Tsunade's voice came booming out of the loudspeakers.
Tsunade said, "Attention students, we are now announcing class presidency candidates for the student body, for our freshmen class…"
Hinata ignored the announcement and continued to think, "What could Ten Ten possibly be planning"?
Tsunade continued, "Next, our sophomore class presidential candidates are…"
Hinata tapped her fingernails and thought, "How do you boost someone's popularity anyway"?
Tsunade voice continued and said, "Our Junior class presidency candidates are Sakura Haruno…"
Sakura yelled out, "Yes, candidate and winner of student body presidentcy for 3 years now but I feel sorry for the pathetic loser who's going to run against me".
Sakura laughed and Hinata rolled her eyes.
Tsunade said, "And running against her will be Hinata Hyuga, next our senior class candidates are…"
Hinata felt her heart drop and thought, "How did this happen"?
Suddenly an image of Ten Ten's mischievous smile appeared in Hinata's head and Hinata thought, Ten Ten"!!
Caught up in her head Hinata didn't notice that the whole class was staring at her.
She heard whispers of classmates saying, "Does that Hyuga girl know what she's in for" and "Sakura's going to win this hands down".
Then Hinata felt that oh-so-familiar pain of a pair of green eyes piercing her skin looking through to her heart and crushing it.
Sakura tapped Hinata on the shoulder and said, "Good luck".
Then in a low, evil tone she said, "Because you're going to need it after I get through with you Hyuga".
Sakura nodded her head in reassurance that what she said was true and Hinata witnessed it in her eyes and her wicked smile.
Kakashi started clapping distracting Hinata's attention from Sakura.
Kakashi said, "Two of my students running for class president this is a first".
Hinata felt like passing out right there in the classroom but managed to keep her composer for the rest of class period.
Walking out into the hallway after class Hinata couldn't wait to rush out of there.
She heard a couple of girls say, "Who's this "Hinata Hyuga" that's running against Sakura hopefully Sakura can show her some mercy".
Hinata heard another group of girls say, "Isn't Hinata that tall girl with brown hair and black eyes"..."Doesn't she have bad breath"?
Hinata realized walking down the hallway that nobody knew who she was. She entered her cooking class and slumped over on the desk.
Hinata felt a tap on her shoulder and lifted her head to see who it was.
Naruto's big grin was being flashed in her face and he said, "I heard you're running for class president against Sakura that's a big move from such a small person".
Hinata put her head back on the desk.
Naruto continued, "I feel kind of guilty".
Hinata lifted her head back up and propped it with her hand and said, "Why do you feel guilty".
Naruto smirked and said, "Because you two are fighting over me".
Hinata chuckled and said, "No one's fighting over you Uzumaki".
Naruto leaned over his desk and said, "Either way I still love a good girl fight".
Hinata rolled her eyes and waited for the teacher to enter.
After class was started Hinata didn't know if she should even stay in the election.
Hinata thought, "Sakura's obviously going to win".
The bell soon rang and Hinata started packing her stuff. While shoving her notebook in her book bag Sakura came strolling up to their desks.
She leaned over Naruto's side and said, "So, Naruto you're going to vote for me, right"?
Sakura rubbed her hands up and down Naruto's arm and cocked her head to the side awaiting an answer.
Naruto glanced over at Hinata who was looking back at him but still packing away her stuff.
He turned his head back to Sakura and said, "Hmmmm, I don't know right now I'm weighting my options".
Naruto turned back to Hinata and smiled which made Hinata smile but didn't let Sakura know it. Sakura gave Naruto an almost dumbfounded look and walked away but before passing Hinata, Sakura managed to kick Hinata's backpack over spilling out all the papers she managed to put in there. Sakura flashed Hinata a smile, stepped over the pile of papers, and kept moving.
Hinata bent over and picked up the spilled papers and whispered to herself, "Oh great, I'm going to be the last person in line for lunch".
Unexpectedly, Naruto's hand came reaching out to help Hinata pick up her papers. Hinata lifted her head up to meet Naruto's eyes.
She smiled at him and said, "Thanks."
He smiled back and said, "Your welcome Hinata".
Hinata blushed and said, "That's the first time you used my first name".
Naruto blushed and turned away from her and said, "Well, I needed to try it once to see how it sounded".
Hinata blushed harder and said, "Well, how did it sound"?
Naruto kept his blushed face turned away and said, "It sounded…Beautiful".
Naruto cleared his throat and said, "We better get these papers up and get to lunch."
Hinata looked back down and the papers and continued to pick them up only taking a few more glances back up at Naruto.
Naruto and Hinata walked to lunch and got there food even thought there were the last people in line.
Hinata finally got her cold food and sat down and her table. The group welcomed her with congratulations and padded her on the back. Hinata smiled gracefully but soon looked deadly at Ten Ten.
Ten Ten asked, "Hinata is something wrong"?
Hinata stabbed her food and said, "Yes, you signed me up for class president with out my permission".
The group turned there attention to Ten Ten who argued, "I told you I had a plan to boost your popularity".
Hinata argued back, "how's it going to work if Sakura's obviously going to win"?
Ten Ten rolled her eyes and said, "It's not about winning Hinata it's about your "alternative prize".
Hinata thought, "Alternative prize?" oh right, Ten Ten knows about Naruto and she's trying to help".
Everyone was silent and Temari yelled out, "What the hell is this "Alternative Prize"?
Hinata and Ten Ten looked back at each other and said in unison, "nothing"!!
Ten Ten went back to Hinata's conversation and said, "Hinata, all we have to do is get your name out, meet a couple of students, and then you'll be high on the pop charts".
Hinata said, "We"?
Ten Ten smiled and said, "of course, you're going to need a campaign manager and also your staff and crew".
Ten Ten looked around the table and smiled.
Temari shouted, "hell no, I'm not getting involved in this".
Shikamaru whined, "It seems like such a drag."
Ten Ten leaned over to Neji's arm and wrapped her arms around it.
Then she whimpered, "Please Honeybear, it would make me happy".
Neji blushed and said, "Okay, I'll help".
Temari busted out laughing and said, "Honeybear!?"
Ten Ten yelled, "Shut up Temari it's a cute name."
Ten Ten kissed Neji on the cheek and looked over at Chouji and Shino.
Chouji stuck up his thumb and said, "I'm in to help Hinata".
Shino nodded his head.
Ten Ten looked back at Temari and Shikamaru and said, "Plllleeeeaaaassseee you guys you can put in a little effort".
Temari and Shikamaru gave in and said, "Fine".
Ten Ten squealed and Hinata said, "Thank you so much".
The rest of the lunch period Ten Ten came up with a list of stuff each person could do and that they planned on getting together at Ten Ten's house on Friday to make flyers. Lunch ended and Ten Ten continued to talk all the way to gym class.
She said, "Hinata, You're going to need a candidate speech to say to the class so we should probably think about that too".
Hinata felt nervous she thought, "I can't talk in front of the whole junior class".
Hinata turned to Ten Ten and said, "It doesn't have to be a good speech, I mean it's not like we care about winning this thing".
Ten Ten closed her gym locker and said, "Yeah, but it wouldn't hurt if we put in some effort to win and I really want to piss Sakura off".
Ten Ten walked into the gym and Hinata thought, "I wonder why Ten Ten doesn't like Sakura so much."
Hinata asked Ten Ten during morning crunches, "Ten Ten, why don't you like Sakura anyway"?
Ten Ten seemed a little upset by Hinata's question and said, "I mean I hate her for the obvious reasons, she's vicious and mean to others".
Hinata didn't think that was the real reason and said, "That's it, there's no more to it".
Ten Ten and Hinata finished doing their crunches and went to do laps outside on the track.
Ten Ten sighed and said, "Do you really want to know"?
Hinata nodded her head and Ten Ten continued.
She said, "Okay, Sakura and I have been in the same class since Kindergarten. She was quiet back then and I was always energetic running around and hanging out with the other kids. One day, she "accidently" stuck some gum in my hair and then that same day she poured paint all over my new dress. Kids started to laugh at me and somehow Sakura seemed to get more confident every time she hurt other people's feeling. Ever since that day, every year Sakura kept making me feel worse and worse building herself up until she became that big fore headed, power hungry, mean girl you see today. I guess that's the only way Sakura can be popular, by putting other people down."
Hinata said, " I would know first hand about her cruelty".
Ten Ten laughed and said, "You know, back in middle school I tried to become a cheerleader because I thought I could make friends that way but since Sakura was already head cheerleader on the team she just ignored my routine and said, "Maybe I should try the cheerleading appreciation club".
Hinata asked, "The Cheerleading Appreciation Club"?
Ten Ten sighed and said, "Yeah, it's this club for cheerleading tryout rejects that praise the Cheerleadering team and sit in the side lines to every game and talk about cheerleading".
Hinata thought, "There's so much of about Ten Ten's past I don't know".
Ten Ten looked over a Hinata's sad face and said, "Don't feel sorry for me. I feel happy how my life turned out because I have a group of friends to share all my new experiences with me".
Ten Ten smiled brightly at Hinata and she smiled back.
Ten Ten sighed and said, "Now, back to the campaigning strategy".
On the other side of the field cheerleaders were shouting, "Vote Sakura for president"!
Ten Ten rolled her eyes and said, "Don't worry Hinata we'll let people know who the better choice is".
After gym class was over Hinata met up with Shino. They walked to their last class of the day and started on the class work.
In the middle of studying the teacher announced, " As you all may know Hinata Hyuga is running for class president".
Hinata looked up from her textbook.
The teacher continued, " When I was in school I was class president too, Hinata why don't you make a speech to class maybe get us motivated to elect you".
Hinata thought, " Oh no".
Hinata looked at the teacher and said, "I don't have anything prepared and um, I..."
The smiled and said, "Come on Hinata just tell us why you want to run we all want to hear what you have to say."
The class watched as Hinata stood.
Shino whispered to Hinata, "You can do it".
Hinata smiled at Shino and walked over to the front of the class.
She turned to her classmates and said, "Um, the reason I'm running for class president is..."
Hinata paused and thought, " Why am running for class president? For popularity? For Naruto's attention?"
Hinata looked over at all her classmate's faces and said, " I'm running for class president because I want to make a change. I'm not popular, but when does popularity make a better candidate for class president?" All of you probably don't even know who I am or what I'm about, you all are probably judging me right now just because I'm "The New Girl" but I want to help this school making it a place were the underachievers and unknown get a say because they make up most of the school". "We are part of Konoha High School and I want to make an impression saying that we aren't all cheerleaders or football players but we are the chess team or art majors. In conclusion I would just like to say that a vote for me is a vote for you, for the school's future, and for standing up to those who oppose us. Thank You".
Hinata stood there and watch as Shino started clapping then the claps grew until everyone was clapping for Hinata and shouting out for her. Hinata smiled at her classmates and sat back down at her seat.
The teacher walked back to the front of the class and said, " That was beautiful Hinata".
Hinata went back to doing her work. When school was over Hinata couldn't wait to get home and rest. She walked in the door and saw her reading the newspaper.
He asked, "How was your day"?
Hinata smiled and said, "I'm running for class president".
Hiashi put down the paper and said, "That's great!"
Hiashi said, " I told you this year was going to be great".
Hinata walked into her room and put her stuff down. She thought about the speech she made and her classmates clapping for her.
She thought, " I think I can do this".
For the first time Hinata realized she was in this to win it.
