Chance Meetings
#2: Detention
She was so scared.
It was her first day at this school and…she already got detention!
Father would surely kill her.
Or maybe he'd just kick her out of the house.
Whatever favors him at the moment.
Hinata shifted uncomfortable in her seat, the only one in the small, stuffy detention room. The light streamed in from the huge, traditional Japanese high school windows and Hinata couldn't help but squirm again.
The silver haired man who was in charge of detention decided she was too ugly and he would rather just stand watch outside the door. She walked into the room and immediately, he stood up, took his book and a folding chair and sat right outside the door.
She just stood in the middle of the room for five minutes before she collapsed into a seat.
Hinata sat in the first seat of the first row, right next to the window. She began thinking of that blond boy in her World History class…he made her sit right next to him and talk to him the whole class time because she was new.
Hinata blushed and covered her face in embarrassment.
He was cute.
She barely bit back a girly squeal. Hyuuga girls do not squeal.
Hinata could imagine clearly Hanabi mock waving her finger at her.
"You know…in this school, we consider people who cry then laugh then start blushing like an idiot to be weird."
Hinata jumped right out of her seat on onto the floor.
Smooth move Hinata.
"Huh? Um, err, I'm sorry, I was just--," Hinata stuttered, waving her arms in front of her as if to put up a defense. The boy rose an eyebrow.
Hinata coughed. And sat down, deciding that pretending he wasn't there would be the best way to get through these last two hours of detention.
Besides, if he was in detention he couldn't be the type of person she wanted to hang around with. With the gangs and the shootings and the brothels…
What was she thinking!
Hinata fixed her gaze on the sunset, absolutely sure not to give the boy any evidence that she knew he was there.
"You're going to ignore me now?" the boy asked, a sneer in his voice. Hinata bit back a mean retort.
"I didn't think we were allowed to talk during detention," Hinata replied softly, not looking back at him.
"Who are you acting so goody for? Hatake? He's outside," the boy spoke again. Hinata sighed, tired from the whole day.
"Why are you so intent in talking to me?" Hinata asked, finally turning her attention to him. She had to blink a couple times.
The boy was handsome, and obviously a delinquent, but he looked so…
Tired?
He had dark hair, dark eyes, dark everything!
Including the bags under his eyes…
The boy snapped at her. "What the hell is wrong with you? Staring at me like I'm a freak…"
Hinata looked startled and waved her arms again and shook her head.
"No! I was just noticing that you looked tired! I mean, err--," Hinata stuttered again. What was wrong with this guy? He seemed to bring out the worst in her.
"So you didn't read the news? About the massacre." The boy deadpanned. Hinata rose her eyebrows.
"Huh?"
The boy chuckled bitterly, looking away from her.
"Gomen."
The boy stopped suddenly.
"What are you apologizing for?" he asked softly. His voice was coarse and rough. Hinata gulped and inhaled deeply.
"I'm apologizing because someone out there that hurt you didn't say sorry. So I'm saying it for them," Hinata said softly.
Kami, how cheesy was that?
The boy blinked. He nodded slowly.
"My name is Uchiha Sasuke." A hand was thrusted out and Hinata slowly shook it.
"Hyuuga Hinata."
The hand did not let go and instead pulled her to the window. Hinata's eyes widened when Sasuke hopped on the window sill and pushed the window open.
"W-what are you doing?" Hinata tried to take her hand away from him but he simply smirked and held on firmly.
"We're escaping," he replied. Hinata squealed a bit and tried to wrench her fingers from him.
"No! Hatake-sensei is outside and h-he won't let us!" Hinata said. Sasuke rolled his eyes.
"He's outside because he wants us to escape. Leave. Whatever," Sasuke mumbled. Hinata's jaw dropped.
"Huh? What? B-But--," Hinata said. "We're in the forth floor! We can't jump!"
Sasuke smirked.
"Trust me."
They jumped.
Meeting #2: End
A/N: Short and sweet.
Note: I have a feeling a lot of people mistook the last chapter as a continuing story. Let me clarify; this is a collection of one-shots. All of them AU.
So, sadly, I'm not going to be continuing "Tea Shop".
It wouldn't be named "Chance Meetings" if they didn't only have one "chance" and one "meeting" right?
Thank you for reading!
