-Writer's Lonely Corner-
Finally continuing with Forget Me Not!!!
So as I said, this chapter is about the past. It will start from Hinata, Gaara, Sakura, Sasuke and Kiba's college freshman year and the sophomore year of Neji, Tenten, Temari and Kankuro.
-Beginning of CH6-
-Gaara POV-
"So, Sabaku-san," Juraiya calls, "would you like to work alone?"
I don't like working with others. They ask too much questions and they'd always interfere with my work.
"Sensei, Hinata's still available," Naruto called out. He was a good friend of Gaara, well, better than others.
"Hinata-san, would it be fine with you to work with Sabaku-san?"
The girl just nodded. What is up with her?
The bell rang after the stupid teacher gave out our assignment sheets.
"Hello, Sabaku-san," she came and talked to me, "I want to know when we can work on the project."
"I can do everything," I replied. I don't need help or assistance.
"But this is a group project; I need to do my part."
"Whatever," I left her.
"But-" she never finished her sentence.
--
Lunch, I sat with Kankuro and Temari as usual.
"Gaara, how was class?" Temari sipped her juice, "aren't you guys having group assignments again?"
"Ha haa, yea, I heard you're not single this time," Kankuro chuckled, "a girl too!"
"Ooh, who is it?" Temari set down her juice and leaned forward.
"Her," I nodded toward Hinata, my face burning from the heat which seems to have been leaking from the collar of my shirt.
Hinata's back faced them. She was under a tree, reading.
"Wow," Kankuro sat straight up, "nice girl right there!"
I don't know what I look like right now because Kankuro backed off.
"Calm down, Gaara," his palms up in surrender, "Hey, where's Tem?"
I ate my sandwich while Kankuro looked around.
"Looks like she's backā¦" he said, for some reason with an odd smirk.
"Hey Gaara guess what!" Temari came sitting back down, "I kidnapped someone for you!"
"Hello Sabaku-san," it was Hinata. Damn I want to kill Tem!
I just nodded.
"I brought her here for the project," Temari ate her cup noodle.
"How did you get her away from her evil brother?" Kankuro seemed very interested and afraid for her life.
"I've known them for a long time. Remember we used to play together as kids?"
Hinata by this time has already sat down.
"Ohh! And Gaara used to get jealous when I held Hinata's hand to get over the rocks!" Kankuro bursted out laughing and received glares from Gaara.
"Yea, and Neji would get mad at you for touching her too," Temari smirked.
"Why did you bring her here?" I could see Hinata flinched a little from the side of my eye.
"Because, she can't go out every day and work with you," Temari just stared at me like I'm ridiculous. Know what? She is the ridiculous one.
"It's a group project so you'll have to work together too," Kankuro offered Hinata my lunch, which I snatched back.
For the rest of the time, Hinata and I worked under the supervision of the two idiots.
They were arguing over the winter ball which won't be around for another month.
I haven't really talked to Hinata since my mother left us in 3rd grade. Actually, I did not talk to her again. It was always she who tries to break the iron wall.
The bell rang.
"I'll work on this, I have free period right now," Hinata looked up at me.
"That's good, Gaara has a free period right now too," Kankuro patted my back.
"No I don't," I don't.
"It's ok, it's just English, have Hinata help you," Temari rubbed my head and left.
"Be nice to him, Hinata-chan, he's kinda dumb," Kankuro ran to catch up with Temari.
They waved at us and Hinata waved back.
It was another hour I spent with her. Some kids passed by on their way to bathroom or to play hooky.
--
Many afternoons she came. Hinata came to my house to get me my homework, lessons, and check up on me. I hated school and ditched many days. Of 5 days in a week, 2 days I would show up. Only if you're lucky, you'll see me 3 times a week.
"Gaara, get the door, Hina-chan's here," Temari's cooking.
"Yea," I walked there, "Hey," she's outside the door.
Days like these continued.
Hinata comes everyday.
It was one night I walked her home, that I wondered about school.
Hinata, who is weaker than me, goes there and bears everything. How is it that I, a man, cannot?
"Hinata, I'll go to school tomorrow," she hugged me by surprise.
"I look forward to seeing you there," she gave the sweetest smile.
It was starting around here that I felt the presence of Sasuke.
Rumor has it that Itachi ran away with Sakura. Some say Sakura has Itachi's kid and dropped out of school.
We are at our Junior year and the Uchiha seems to have set his eyes on Hinata.
"Gaara," she calls me that since a while after the first time she slept over in our Freshman year, "uhm..."
"Hinata," some guy called from behind. Completely ignoring my presence.
"Hi Sasuke-san," Hinata greeted him.
"I was wondering, if you would like to come...to the festival next weekend with me," he held up a flyer. The moon festival is next weekend.
"Uhm," I saw her looking up at me for any sign. I looked away, "I'll tell you later."
"Yea sure," he glared at me, "bye."
"Why didn't you go?" I asked, curious.
"Because..." she gulped, "I wanted to ask you to go..."
I must've blushed because I felt the heat again.
"I...I won't be here," Temari and Kankuro has already reserved a hot spring hotel in the mountains.
"Oh..." she looked disapointed, my chest felt a twitch.
"You...can come with us if you want..." I held her hand, "I didn't know how to ask you before."
"I, I'll ask my father," she smiled.
-End of CH6-
-Writer's Lonely Corner-
So I am stopping here for now. Why not continue? Because I am hungry and I want to go eat.
If you are confused, I am somewhat too. Nah, not really. Just PM me and I'll do my best to explain the events.
Thanx for continuing the story though I'm barely posting them XP My excuse is still school and that I only use the computer when I am at my brother's.
-Kat
PS. I am starting another story. But I need characters. It's about a magical cat (girl) and a cat lover (boy). There will also be a crush for the boy. I hope for characters from animes I know: Inuyasha, Avatar, Naruto, Fairy Tail, Bitter Virgin... I think I might go for Fairy Tail. Either Gray and Lluvia or Leo and his late owner. Yea, Lluvia and Gray since Lluvia reminded me of that story I had for years.
It is decided then! But suggestions are still welcomed^^
