Chapter 6 – New Friends

About half an hour later, Tenten and Sakura had finished the tour of the school. The last thing that Tenten had to do before classes started was to show Sakura the way to her locker.

When they arrived at Sakura's locker, they saw another girl who was looking for her books in the locker next to Sakura's. The girl had short blue hair and very strange eyes. Tenten knew her and immediately introduced her to Sakura.

"Sakura, this is Hinata, a friend of mine. Hinata this is Sakura, she will be starting school today."

"Niiice to meet you Sakura."

"Nice to meet you too Hinata."

"Hinata is Neji's cousin."

"Neji?"

"Yes Neji, he's one of the members of Eclipse. He plays the bass. He was with the others this morning in the theater rehearsing, you can immediately tell that Hinata and Neji are related they've got the same eyes."

The truth was Sakura didn't pay much attention to the other members of the band because she was too occupied staring at Sasuke to notice the others.

"Oh, I see."

"Yes, in fact we are the only two girls allowed in their group because Hinata is Neji's cousin and also because we don't worship them like the rest of the girls in the school do. That's why every day we get death glares from every girl in the school. They're jealous because we're their friends. We're also allowed to watch their rehearsals and eat lunch with them because Tsunade-sama knows that we are their friends and not crazy fan girls."

"If you are their friend and can watch their rehearsals than why did you push me out of the theater so fast this morning?"

"I know that you're thinking. You're thinking that I think you would have acted like a fan girl but I know you would have not done that. You were in their same position and I'm sure you know how it feels to be always at the center of attention, that's why I'm sure you would have not done that.

Afterwards I also found out you barley knew who they were so that's not the problem. What I did was for your own good. If Naruto, the drummer of the band, would have recognized you, he would have bombarded you with questions. He's a great fan of yours and he even has a crush on you. Seeing your reaction of when I talked to you about being a fan of yours earlier, I figured that you aren't ready yet to answer his questions."

"Thank you Tenten, I owe you one."

"Don't worry about it Sakura, we're friends now, you can always count on me and Hinata from now on. We are also very lucky that Naruto is quiet dumb. Most probably he didn't recognize you, but I'm sure Sasuke did, then told him who you were afterwards."

"Tenten don't talk about Naruto-kun like that. He's not dumb he's just a little bit oblivious to the things that happen around him."

"A little bit oblivious? Hinata you've had a crush on him since you were 12. All the school knows about it, he's the only one who doesn't, trust me that guy is really dumb."

"So Neji's dumb too, since you've also had a crush on him since you were 12, and he doesn't know about it either, right?"

"It's a sunny day today, isn't it?"

Tenten had changed the subject of the conversation all of a sudden. Clearly, her crush on Neji was something she didn't want to talk about. Then Tenten spoke again.

"Sakura we have to do something, Naruto is our friend and someday today you're gonna have to meet him, you can't avoid him forever."

"Maybe we should tell Naruto-kun and the others not to ask Sakura about her musical career."

"That's a great idea Hinata. I'll go and talk to them now, before classes start. Sakura, you go with Hinata. She's got also the same time table as ours, don't worry, just stick to her and you'll be fine."

Sakura and Hinata saw Tenten head towards the theater full speed. On their way to class, Hinata and Sakura talked a lot. Hinata was very shy but she seemed very at ease talking with Sakura.

They talked about Hinata's crush on Naruto. She was very sincere and said that she was jealous of Sakura, now that she was there, Naruto's attention will be always on her because he had a crush on her.

Sakura told her not to worry about it because Naruto's crush wouldn't last long, his feelings towards her were not real, he was just a fan boy who had a crush on a singer.

Sakura told her that everyone once in their life had a crush on a celebrity. Hers was Johnny Depp. She used to have her room full of his posters but she soon grew out of it. Now, she just admires him and his work, but Sakura knew that Hinata's crush towards Naruto was different.

Hinata knew Naruto before he was famous. Sakura thought that Hinata's feelings towards Naruto were more than a crush but Sakura didn't say anything because each time time that Sakura mentioned Naruto, Hinata's face became redder and Sakura was afraid that if she mentioned him again, Hinata would faint.

So she decided to change the subject of their conversation and they started to talk about school. Hinata told her everything about their first class.

"Our first class is Math. Kakashi-sensei is our math teacher. We don't have to be in time for his lesson since he's always late. When he arrives, he always comes up with a very lame excuse, which no one believes. Everyone in the school knows that he is always late because he would be reading that dirty book of his. He's also Eclipse's manager."

When she heard the word Eclipse, Sakura started thinking again about what had happened that morning and about her encounter with Sasuke. Sakura blushed slightly, fortunately for her Hinata didn't notice. Sakura was curious to know more about Sasuke, but she decided not to question Hinata about him because that would seem strange.

Then she started thinking that maybe this year wouldn't be that bad after all. That morning she had already got the attention of the most popular guy in Japan, and she had already made two new friends. Maybe the fact that she was famous helped her get Sasuke's attention. Tenten told her that he had recognized her after all.

She didn't know what, but something attracted her to him. At the end, she decided that it was just admiration. He was doing what she wanted to do, singing, but guilt prevented her to do it.

Still, that morning she felt strange. After her brother's death, every time she saw an instrument or heard a song she would feel guilty but when she heard Sasuke sing that morning she could feel only happiness and that scared her and made her feel even more guilty.

She wanted to get to know him but at the same time she didn't. She decided to wait for Sasuke to make the first step, because that morning she wasn't the only one staring, he was also staring back at her which to her meant that he was also interested in her.

That morning she had also made two new friends, Hinata and Tenten. Usually she would be careful on who she befriended because the majority wanted to be her friends because of her popularity, but she knew that Hinata and Tenten didn't like her because she was famous. They liked her because she was being herself.

Hinata and Sakura arrived in front of the classes's door. Some students were already in the class talking while others were still going in. Some were whispering and Sakura was sure that they were talking about her. Instead of going in, Hinata and Sakura decided to wait for Tenten to come back and waited for her outside the door.

A/N: What do you think? I hope you liked it! If you can please review, as I said before, I would really appreciate it.
