Chapter 3 Teachers and roses
"Hinata", Kurenai shouted in shock a look of surprise all over face as tears gather in her eyes. A small smile graced Hinata's lips.
"Kurenai-chan it's good to see you again", the girl in question said as she looked away from the teacher. A look passed through Hinata's eyes before she looked back at the teacher. Kurenai had just a little past shoulder length black hair and red eyes. Hinata sighed as she realized Kurenai was going to want an explanation as to why she was here.
"Then again I want an explanation as to why she here as well", Hinata thought as she studied her teacher and friend. Out of nowhere there was a cough from the blond haired blue eyed boy who was talking to Hinata not that long ago.
"So you guys know each other", Naruto ask after faking a cough. Hinata took her eyes away from Kurenai to look at Naruto. She needed away to change the conversation (And atmosphere) and Naruto just provided her with one.
"Anyway Kurenai-chan…san I would love to stay and chat but you have a class to teach and I have a teacher to learn from, so me and Naruto will go to our seats", Hinata said walking away from Kurenai. Kurenai nodded her head.
"Hinata", Kurenai called before Hinata was too far away, "I expect you to have the homework I give you done and your book in class next time you come." Everyone in the room paled as they turned to see Hinata reactions. Hinata had on a calm face expression like she always had on and cocked her head back a little.
"We'll see", she said then went over to her seat. Everyone paled even more (if it was possible) and turned to face Kurenai. Kurenai had a smile on her face as she let out a small laugh before she started teaching again. Halfway through the class Naruto looked over to her.
"So you know Kurenai huh", he ask. Hinata looked at him through her peripheral vision making her look threatening.
"I thought I told you I won't answer questions like that and beside from the little reunion I thought you be able to tell", Hinata answered as she started writing again. Naruto shrugged his shoulders but still didn't give up.
"What are you writing", Naruto asks. Hinata sent him a small smile.
"Notes", she lied smoothly. Naruto nodded his head, albeit it was slowly like he didn't really believe her. He left her alone after that letting her get back to whatever she writing. And she did just that. When she finished she folded it up into a small square and put it in her jean pocket. When the bell ranged Kurenai called Hinata to stay back like Hinata new she was. Hinata stayed in her seat until everyone was out. When they did leave Hinata left her seat and when over to where Kurenai was sitting at.
"I don't want to keep you waiting so I was wondering if we could meet up at the coffee shop near the school you know which one I'm talking about right", Kurenai ask. Hinata nodded her head.
"The one that sells that kind of tea you like right", Hinata asks although she already knows the answer. Kurenai nodded her head and smiled.
"It's good to see you again Hinata", Kurenai said. Hinata looked away from her not sure how to act.
"Um it nice to see you again too Kurenai-chan", Hinata said looking at the clock, "hey do you think you could write me a pass I think I'm going to be later than usual to the next class", Hinata said changing the topic. Kurenai eyes widen and nodded her head.
"Uh yeah sure", she said and wrote the pass out. She handed it to Hinata and watched as Hinata left the room. Hinata stepped outside Kurenai room closing the door behind her and sighed. She looked at all the other students watching her and sighed again. She saw as a minute ticked passed on the clock and let a small smile grace her lips.
"You guys are going to be late", she spoke calmly as she planted herself up against the door as a stamped of students rushed towards their next class. When they all disappeared Hinata made her way to her classroom. The bell had ranged three minutes ago and she was still looking for it. She let out a sigh when she finally got there.
"Man I hate going to new schools", she whispered to herself and entered the room.

Naruto entered his classroom and sat down in his chair. He was early for class meaning he got there before his friends. Not really caring at the moment he put his head down on his desks and tried to control his breathing. It finally dawned on him that he actually talked with Hinata all the way to Kurenai's math class and how she helped him out from getting detention.
"I heard about how Miss Ice princess got you out of detention and how some people saw you guys talking during your walk to class. She actually spoke to you huh", Sasuke said as he sat down in his seat.
"More importantly I heard that the new teacher Kurenai knew Hinata from somewhere and the Ice queen herself actually smiled and laughed. She also took a smartass response from Hinata without punishing her", Sakura said as she went to sit next to Sasuke. Naruto nodded his head telling them that the rumors were actually true.
"And you don't have a crush on her", Sakura ask him. Naruto looked up at her and smirked.
"That's my dear Watson is irrelevant to what you just said therefore I shall not answer it", Naruto replied in a British accent. Sakura glared at him.
"Watson! If anything I should be Sherlock", she told him. Naruto nodded his head slowly.
"Uh huh whatever you say", Naruto said.
"PAY ATTENTION", the teacher, Iruka, shouted at the class. When everybody was quiet he started talking about the Sengoku Jidai or the warring sate era. Naruto groaned and put his head back on his desks as he looked around the room. He saw that half the class was already asleep and others were either texting their friends passing notes or actually paying attention. He let out another groan as he closed his eyes.

Hinata entered the room and gave her teacher the pass Kurenai gave her just in case she was more than a few minutes late for class. Which she was. The teacher took the note and nodded his head and told her to sit down. Hinata went over to the back of the class and sat down.
"Hey Hinata", Ino said once the girl sat down. Hinata swore mentally and turned to face the blond haired girl. She gave her a nodded and smirked.
"Motor mouth", she said. Ino glared at her.
"Okay class take out your drawing materials and if you don't have any then there are some in the cabinet at the very back", the teacher spoke, "Now what I want you to draw for this week of school is your happiest memory. Now you don't have to get it done today or even have anything drawn or painted on paper because you have all week to do it now get started", he said then lazed back in his chair staring off into space. Hinata sighed as she stared at white canvas. She went to get some materials from the cabinet then went back to her seat.
"Why do you keep calling me motor mouth", the blond asks after a while. Hinata looked away from her canvas to look at Ino, who was looking at her in genuine confusion. Hinata sighed.
"Because", Hinata started, "You are missing that filter that everyone else has." She finished and went back to her work. She wasn't in the mood to talk. But Ino was more confused. And she wasn't afraid to tell ask what she was confused about.
"What are you talking about?" Hinata shook her head and went to looked back at her canvas.
"I prove my point." Ino glared at her again. The blond haired girl couldn't shake the feeling that Hinata had just insulted her in some way and was now laughing at her.
The bell ranged and everyone got up. They picked up their canvas and put them where the teacher told them to. Some of the kids had nothing on their canvas and others had just a few things. Hinata got up last and put the materials she borrowed from the cabinet up first. She then waited until everyone was gone from the canvas sections until she went over there and with hers. She placed hers at the bottom of the pile then left the class. A confused look crossed her face as she saw what room number her next class was. She thought a minute on where that was when the room popped back in her mind. Yeah she knew where that was, she had to pass it up on her way to this class. More than once that is.
Hinata walked slowly to her last period class knowing that because she was a new student they wouldn't punish her she sighed. Too bad she could only play the new student for about a week without being punish for being late and even that is stretching it some. Hinata eyes widen as she saw that she was actually on time for her last period of school. It seems like it was closer then she thought. She was about to enter the gym room when someone called her name. Hinata turned to see leaning on the wall by the gym door was Naruto. He had changed already. He was now wearing baggy dark green shorts and a large red shirt with the words "Konoha High" in green letters at the top then underneath that was his name.
"Hey we meet again", Naruto said as he got off the wall and walked over to her a grin on his face, "It must be fate." Hinata stared at him but said nothing. Naruto rubbed the back of his head sheepishly.
"Well I see you made it here on time", he stated.
"Surprise me too", she said quietly as she looked away from him and stared into the gym room. Everyone was looking at them, probably trying to see if the rumors were true. Which rumors on the other hand she could care less about. Oh how she might regret that. Naruto looked at her in surprise although he quickly got rid of it. He really wasn't expecting her to talk back to him. Especially since Neji had told them so many times that she didn't really talk to people that much.
"Doesn't explain why she was talking to me after lunch."
"I see so", he said trying to act uninterested, "What did you and Kurenai-sensei talked about?" Hinata looked from the gym room back to him. She was quiet as she studied him. Her eyes narrowed a little and turned away from him sharply. She was going to have a deep reflection on this when she went back to the Hyuuga household. Naruto shifted to his other foot as he took Hinata's silence as a no.
"You don't have to tell me if…" Hinata turned back to him glared.
"You're being noisy", she said her glare lessening as she made her way into the gym room, "We didn't talk about anything I'm meeting her after school." Naruto nodded his head and went inside as well. Hinata made her way up to the teacher and told him that she was the new student.
"YOSH! MY YOUGHTFUL STUDENTS WE HAVE A NEW STUDENTS", he screamed to the class, and then in quieter tone (It was still loud), "Hinata tell the class a few thing about yourself." That actually got the students attention. They all perked up wanting to know more about the mysterious new student. Hinata went from looking at the class to staring at her gym Maito Gai her gym teacher.
"Come on Hinata, embrace the youth and tell people something about yourself", Gai told her while pumping his fist into the air. Now Hinata continued to stare at him as she took small steps away from him.
"Hinata you're not being very youthful", he told her. She finally blinked and sighed.
"Gomen nasai", she said while looked away from everybody. Gai quickly went into is famous (To him) pose and flashed a wide smile that shone for a quick moment. He then straightens up and patted Hinata on the shoulders. Something she didn't appreciate.
"That is fine little bud soon the flowers of your youth will shine brightly turning you into a beautiful rose", he shouted. Hinata frowned at him as her left eye twitched.
"Roses have thorns", Hinata deadpanned. Gai flashed another of his smiles and opened his mouth.
"That they do my youthful bud but everyone has flaws", he said still smiling. Hinata nodded her head.
"I see", she stated calmly. All but one student in the class sweat dropped.
"What was there to see", they all thought. Hinata cleared her throat.
"So are there any seating charts I need to be made aware of", she said trying and succeeding at changing the subject.
"There are no arranging seats in this class for it limit your power of youth", he shouted, "You can it anywhere you want on the bleachers." Hinata nodded her heads and went to sit far away from everyone else on the bleachers. Especially a blond haired male, who for some reason – unknown to her – won't leave her alone.
Me: There we go everybody another chapter. Now the reason for Hinata attitude. well this wasn't the first time her mother had sent her off to live with someone and Hinata would usually know something about them before she leaves. this time her mother sent her to go live with her father. someone she knows nothing about. Why Neji doesn't like... well his reason will come up eventually. Why Hinata only talk to more than the others at the school. that's because he remind her of someone.
Imaginary Friend: You forgot to enplane how kurenai knows Hinata and about her being in the gang.
Me: Well how Kurenai met Hinata will come up soon and her being in the gang was actually one of the real rumors that was going one. one of the reason why Neji don't trust her.
Imaginary Friend: What about the filter comment to Ino.
Me: That was just Hinata basically telling Ino she the same as a kid who can't tell when not to ask a question about things. that Ino couldn't see the effect that comment or question might have on someone.
Imaginary Friend: Well that's all folks. stick around for the next chapter.
