Hinata and Naruto had finished their dinner and now Hinata was dropping Naruto off at his house.
"I had a great time tonight." Hinata blushed.
"Me too. And again I am sorry about not seeing your paintings."
"It's okay Naruto."
"No it's not. I'm going to find a way to make up to you. Believe It!"
Hinata giggled. She knew from past experience that when Naruto wanted something, there was no stopping him. Just one of the reasons why she loved him.
"Alright Naruto. Well I better get home before my dad gets upset. Good night."
"Night." Naruto watched as Hinata drove away. He meant what he said he was going to make it up to her no matter what. And he had just the idea how to do it.
As Hinata drove home she couldn't help but smile. It was a pretty good first day. She was actually looking forward to tomorrow.
The Next Day…
Hinata walked into Konoha High with a smile on her face. She was still in a great mood from hanging out with Naruto the day before. Today she was wearing a pair of light pink short shorts, a skinny white belt, a deep v lavender shirt, and white wedges.
Hinata walked over to the court yard where the group usually hung out in the morning. She instantly saw Naruto. He was sitting on a picnic table with his head down in his arms. Shikamaru was sitting next to him in the same position. Neither of them were morning people. On the other side of the table Sasuke sat on the edge his head in his hand. He had a look of boredom as he listened to Sakura talking. She was wearing a white halter top, a long red beaded necklace, dark washed short shorts, and red sandals. As Hinata got closer she could hear that Sakura was telling Sasuke about her big party this weekend.
Every year Sakura holds a big bash at her house to start off the school year. And with this year being their last, Hinata knew that it was going to be big.
As Hinata walked by she thinks she sees Sakura giving her an evil glare. But she just brushes it off as her imagination and goes and sits with Kiba and Shino.
"Good Morning guys."
"You sound like you are in a good mood." Shino points out.
"That could be because Hinata and Naruto had a date last night." Kiba then starts making kissing sounds at Hinata.
Hinata's face turns the color of a tomato. "Stop it Kiba. It wasn't a date."
"Please, it was just the two of you and you went out to dinner. Sounds like a date to me."
"So? We hang out just the two of us all the time."
"Whatever." Kiba waved her off. "So are you going to Sakura's party this weekend?"
"I don't know. I have never gone to one of her parties. Plus I don't think I'm invited."
"Everyone is invited to her parties." Shino mentions.
"Yeah, and its our last year, so you have to go."
"I guess I can go, but on two conditions. One, you guys have to go with me."
"What's the second condition?" Kiba asked.
"You have to help me pick out what to wear."
"WHAT!" Kiba shouts, making everyone look at him.
Hinata giggled. "Think of this as pay back for teasing me about Naruto.
"No way in hell am I sitting around and helping you pick out clothes." Kiba huffed.
"You already helped her once. Might as well do it again." Shino pointed out.
"Come on Kiba….please." Hinata knew not to give him any puppy dog eyes cause she knew he hated it. Instead she gave her best flirty smile. Which she knew would convince him, since he was the one that told her about it.
Kiba let out a sigh. "Fine. I'll do it."
"Oh thank you." Hinata grabbed Kiba in a huge hug.
Ever since Naruto was woken up by Kiba's outburst, he had been keeping an eye on Hinata. Today she looked really cute in the pink and purple. When he saw Hinata give Kiba a hug his heart dropped. Why were they hugging all the time?
Soon the bell rang and it was time for classes to start. Naruto watched as Hinata and Kiba walked into school together with Shino close behind. Naruto would have to wait until lunch to talk to Hinata.
The day went by pretty fast and soon it was the end of the day. The bell rang and everyone got up to leave.
"Do you need a ride home Naruto?" Hinata asked.
"Nah, I have soccer practice today."
"Oh okay. Well have fun. Text me if you can." Hinata waved as she walked away.
"You got it." Naruto waited till all the students were out of the classroom until it was only him and Mrs. Kurenai. "Hey Mrs. Kurenai, could I talk to you about something?"
"Sure thing Naruto, what is it?"
"The school hosts art showcases for the students right?"
Kurenai stopped grading papers and looked up at Naruto. "Yes that's correct. Usually we host showcases about twice a year."
"Is it possible to have a showcase but only for one student?"
"You mean like a gallery? I suppose so, if the student has enough pieces and if they are good enough to be on display. Do you want to have your own showcase?"
"Oh no way, not me. I was hoping you can help me set up a showcase of Hinata's paintings."
"Really? If you don't mind me asking, why do you want to do this?"
"Hinata has been my best friend since we were kids and I just now looked at her paintings. So to make it up to her I want to show everyone what an amazing artist she is."
"That is very kind of you Naruto. Why don't you let me talk to Principle Tsunade and we can see what we can do."
"Awesome. Well I'm going to be late for soccer practice so I gotta go." But when Naruto was at the door he stopped and look back. "And can you do me a favor and not tell Hinata. I want it to be a secret."
"Sure thing Naruto."
"Thanks Mrs. K, you're the best."
