How To Catch Someone's Eye
Ch. 5 "Into The Battle Field."
I don't own Naruto, but I wish I did.
"Go!"
Hinata felt the push just between her shoulder blades.
It was forceful and it almost made her stumble and fall on who knows what.
Naruto was sleeping on the staircase, something that was more expected on Shikamaru.
"U-Um," Hinata blushed as she turned from Naruto to the girls behind her that were hiding just behind a row of lockers.
"Ino, can't you see he's asleep?" Tenten hissed.
"Shh!" Ino covered Tenten's mouth with her hand. "Hey, Hinata! Just keep talking to him. He'll think it as a dream, and when you talk to him again, he'll realize that it's you."
"Now, that's just cheesy." Sakura tried to peek at the shy dark haired girl looming over a blonde boy with his face covered by the latest edition of Shonen Jump.
"B-bu-but h-how do I—?" Hinata looked panicked.
"Start with introducing yourself." Ino nodded. "Go on."
"O-okay." Hinata whispered to herself. "Here goes."
Ino grabbed the edge of the locker. Oh, come on!
"H-Hello, Naruto-kun. M-my name is H-Hinata Hyuuga." Hinata blushed and sharply turned to Ino. "Th-this is really d-dum—st-stupid!"
"Keep on going, honey!" Ino gave her two thumbs up. "You're doing great!"
"U-uh, w-well," Hinata turned her attention back to Naruto.
His chest went up and down rhythmically. Obviously asleep.
"I-I know this is really foolish, b-but," Hinata breathed, shutting her eyes. "I-I-I— I can't do this! I'm sorry!"
Hinata covered her beet red face and ran past the three girls who were observing.
"Oh, dear here we go." Tenten pushed herself off of the floor and ran after the girl.
Ino and Sakura did the same.
By the staircase, when he couldn't hear any more commotion, Naruto sat up, the booklet of Shonen Jump fell on his lap.
He was actually awake the whole time.
Under the Shonen Jump edition, Naruto had his eyes open.
He was thinking when he was interrupted by four certain girls.
He had faked that he was asleep.
Naruto had plenty of practice from when he went with Jiraiya to this two year trip convention to Europe.
Jiraiya often forced him to go places, so Naruto would be sleeping so Jiraiya would leave him alone.
He sighed when he stood up and headed towards class.
Hinata, huh? He rubbed the back of his head, messing his hair even more. I wonder what she was going to say. I wonder how she looks like.
Attempt Number One: Hinata Hyuuga: FAIL.
Truthfully: A SUCCESS.
Hinata manages to get Naruto to think of her: MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.
Haha~! Ahhh~!
Yeah, well, I thought adding what happened to me when I was in middle school would be good for Hinata's role…
Soooo, yeeaaaahhhhh…
But of course! I wasn't in Hinata's shoes! It was actually the guy… In truth, I was Naruto in this scene.
And yes, I had Shonen Jump on my face. But it was the latest issue of Naruto in tankōbon.
;P
I felt like she should fail, because after all, this is the first they have done this. So don't hate~!
Oh, and I should've mentioned this earlier, but the boys don't know who they are.
Thanks for reading~!
Leave me some sugar~!
