Hello there. Sin Writer. I hope you are enjoying Summer. I am because so far there has only been two really hot days. Nice amounts of breeze is flowing in during the day time. Since the weather has been kind to me, I decided to be kind to readers by updating (which is something to cheer about if you were paying attention to my updating habits and enjoy the story.) Well enjoy the chapter.

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto. Masashi Kishimoto owns Naruto. . I wrote this for all of my chapters so far so I don't think I want to change it if I am wrong.

In a distance, Sasuke heard a shutter noise. Sasuke stopped to look around for the source. Slowly, the hill began to fade; along with it was a confused Hinata. Sasuke reached out to her but his fingers slipped through her as if she was a mirage.

His eyes snapped open. Above him, he saw was Hinata. Not the Hinata that was in his dream but the Hinata Sasuke dreaded to see. She was sporting a white blouse accompanied by a pastel blue vest, a pair of brown shorts, and knee high white socks. Sasuke paid not as much attention to her attire as much as he did to the object in her hand.

For many years, decades really, the device was one of the most widely use to blackmail or bring down one is high power. Its lens reflected Sasuke's face. Hinata smirked as she turned the object around and showed Sasuke the photo she just took. The Sasuke in the camera was still sound asleep. His hands were holding someone's foot. Closer speculation led him to realize that he was actually kissing the foot. Sasuke sat up and saw the foot that was captured on digital camera with him. The owner of the foot was no other than Naruto Uzumaki. Sasuke got up.

"Give me the camera." Sasuke growled. Hinata pondered about what he just said for about a minute. Her head was slightly tilting to her left. She turned around and started to walk away with the camera. Sasuke just sat, watching Hinata move out of his reach. It was when she was out of his sight that Sasuke realized that Hinata was running away. "Come back here!" Sasuke shouted as he got up onto his feet. Sasuke made no attempt in being careful for he stepped on one of Naruto's feet, Shikamaru's hand and some of Haku's hair. Groggily, the three of them woke up whilst cursing the one that caused them to wake up.

Sasuke pounded on the bathroom door that Hinata had decided to hide herself in. He shouted demands for the camera which were practically useless. Shikamaru groaned at the pain the noise was causing to his head.

"Naruto," Shikamaru grumbled, settling himself in his sleeping bag. "Tell Sasuke to shut up."

"Why can't you do it?" Naruto asked.

"Too lazy." Shikamaru replied.

" Typical." Naruto said. He sat up and looked at the time. "Holy Ramen! We're going to be late." Shikamaru sat up.

"What did you just say?" Naruto tossed his watch to Shikamaru. Shikamaru's eyes grew wide as he realized that they were going to be late. Haku got up and started to wake Gaara up. Naruto grabbed clothes he packed for today from his bag.

"Give me that camera!" Naruto heard Sasuke take his frustrations out on the bathroom door.

"Oi! We're running late!" Naruto shouted.

"That didn't bother you before!" Sasuke shouted back. "Why does it matter now?"

"Dude! We are SENIORS!" Sasuke heard Naruto yell out with much emphasis on 'seniors'. "Seniors with a capital 's'! We get to go on cool activities like prom!"

"I didn't know you are interested in prom." Sasuke heard Haku say.

"Well, you know what they say. The Prom King reels in the most mon-ay!" Sasuke heard Naruto reply. Sasuke stopped his actions and decided to, instead, listen in on the conversation. "Remember the last Prom King. He was one of ours and he got a lot of dates. Hinata was so pleased, he got promoted into the Akatsuki!"

"Wasn't that Tobi?" Haku's voice rang. Sasuke shivered at the sound of the orange mask-wearing member. He hadn't forgiven him for the whole chaperoning-the-zoo-trip. 'If a person unable to show his face to the world was able to become prom king, how hard could it be for me?' thought Sasuke. He thought about how delightful it would be to be in a higher authority as Gaara, better yet, the same authority as his brother in less than a year. Sasuke drooled at the idea of power in his hands. Then Sasuke realized a dastardly plot that would ruin his plans: the photo. Hinata could make sure that no such thing would happen with just a click of the button. Sasuke resumed his normal position of banging the door.

"Unhand that camera this instant." Sasuke shouted, his fists repeatedly making contact with the bathroom door. "Open this door or I'll break it down!"

"I don't think so." Hinata told him. Sasuke walked away from the bathroom door, giving him a way to ram the door. He sprinted towards the door. Unexpectedly, the door opened just as Sasuke was going to make contact. His body fell the floor with a low thud. Hinata stood over him with smirk across her lips. "If you wanted to get the camera so badly, you should have just said the magic word."

"And what was the magic word?" Sasuke asked leaning on his elbows. Hinata carefully walked over his body and out of the bathroom.

"It was 'please.' Have you heard of it before because, apparently, it doesn't show up in you dictionary." Hinata said. She tossed the camera onto Sasuke's stomach, earning her an 'oomph' from Sasuke as a reply. "Just so you know, I deleted the picture because I'm nice like that. Possibly why I have good karma and you don't" Sasuke saw her walk away in the direction of his older brother's room. Sasuke sat up and turned on the camera to verify Hinata's claim. There were no pictures or videos of Sasuke kissing Naruto's foot. Sasuke smiled at Hinata's good deed. He then decided to get ready for school.

Sasuke was looking out of the window of Itachi's blue minivan. His eyes weren't on the scenery nor the other students heading to school. It was attracted to side mirror which reflected the image of Hinata in the passenger's seat. Her smile was ravishing, exposing her innocence. Sasuke couldn't help but smirk at her. Naruto sat next to him, chanting 'senior' over and over again. Sitting behind Naruto was Gaara, who was smartly listening to music with headphones in his ears. On Gaara's right was Haku brushing his hair. Behind Sasuke was Shikamaru, who Sasuke presumed was sleeping.

When the minivan slowed to a stop in the front of the school, Sasuke and the rest got out of the car as if they were young kids excited about going to school. Sasuke watched Hinata walked past them. Her head was hung low and the sparkling smile she once had was now a glum. Naruto was about to say something but didn't.

"It's not fair that she can't talk to us." Naruto growled.

"It's probably what is best for her." Shikamaru said. "Rule no. 3 states we can't expose her identity. We can't just talk to her all of the sudden. The best you could hope for to talk to her is to be in the same class."

"Why can't you just talk to her?" Sasuke asked. Shikamaru sighed.

"Her two best friends at this school are Kiba and Shino." Shikamaru started. "Those two know every person she has ever talked to in the past three years. Talking to her without a general past in school is a very risky move. They believe that she was hanging out with her cousin, her other friend TenTen or with Itachi when going out." Sasuke clenched his hand into a fist as he let Shikamaru's reasoning sink in. They started to walk towards the school to look at the roster to see what class they are in.

"Poor Hinata," Haku whispered. "She lives such a lonely life at school."

"Yeah," Naruto sighed. "At least Sasuke's lucky. Since his brother is Hinata's bodyguard, he automatically has access." Sasuke felt a chill go down his spine. He looked behind him to see two pairs of eyes with a plot within them.

"I don't want any part of it." Sasuke said. He started to look at the roster, searching for his name and class. He found it and turned to tell the others.

"I'm in class 3-B," Sasuke said.

"Drats," Naruto said. "I was hoping to be in the same class."

"We're in the same class as Shikamaru." Haku told Naruto.

"Really?" Naruto asked. "Great, now I know who to copy off for homework."

"I don't do my homework." Shikamaru said tiredly.

"Then how did you get good grades?" Naruto asked.

"I have a special deal; My test grade for the chapter would also count for my assignments grade." Shikamaru explained. "Have fun copying each other's work." Naruto and Haku simultaneously stuck their tongue out at the lazy smart ass.

"See you at lunch then." Sasuke told them. He started to head to his classroom.

Upon entering the room, Sasuke spotted Hinata sitting by herself in the seat in the front of the class and one desk away from the window. The rest of the class was talking to each other about their summer vacations. Sasuke decided to have a seat diagonal of Hinata's; a seat in which he could see her perfectly fine without anyone noticing. The class started to fill, more people coming in, students filling in the seats. Sasuke sighed as he was upset that two girls sat next to him. He could tell that they were friends because they conversing with each other by shouting over Sasuke's head. Sasuke groaned and got up.

"If you guys want to talk to each other, we could switch seats." Sasuke said.

"Oh Sasuke," one of them said. "That would be rude. "

"It's okay," Sasuke told the two. He gathered all his supplies and his bag. "The class isn't that full. There is still some empty seats." He got up from his seat.

"Well if you insist." The girl said. She got up and sat in his seat. Sasuke heard the two giggle as he sat down on the other seat diagonal of Hinata's: the second row desk near the window. No one was sitting in front of him, which Sasuke was grateful for, a seat with a good view. It was short lived when someone sat in the seat in front of him. Sasuke recognized him immediately due to the red hair. The student waved at Hinata. Sasuke's jaw mentally dropped.

"Look at those two." Sasuke heard the girl he traded seats with sneer. "Those two misfits are friends with each other. "

"What a pitiful pair," her friend said. "They are probably enjoy causing trouble for their parents' companies." In front of Sasuke, the red headed student growled. The Hyuuga Heiress reached out and was massaging Gaara's hand to calm him down. Sasuke resisted the urge to snap at the two girls in fear of possibly exposing his relationship between him and the two. The late bell rang and there was no sign of the teacher.

"Don't tell me we gotten Kakashi as our teacher." A student in the class groaned.

"Sweet! Free period every day!" another student said. The class got out of their seats and started to huddle into their individual groups. Sasuke rested his head on the desk. He stared at the clouds outside of the window. Unbeknownst to Sasuke, sloth has consumed him. Sasuke kinda understood why Shikamaru didn't like doing stuff. His eyes drooped till he was in slumberland.

Sasuke felt something probing his forehead. He also heard another shutter noise. He opened his eyes slowly. He saw Kakashi with his signature dark blue scarf covering half of his face and a marker in his hand in front of his face. Sasuke jumped in his seat at the sight.

"Give me a heart attack why don't you!" Sasuke exclaimed.

"Well it's a good thing your awake now." Kakashi said. "Class is almost over."

"When did you get here?" Sasuke asked. "Why were you late?"

"Just recently," Kakashi said. "It is half day today."

"We all know that!" Sasuke snapped. "Still doesn't-"

"You didn't let me finish," Kakashi said, cutting off Sasuke. "It's half day so I decided to come at the second half of school. Along the way, I was witnessing the miracle of life." Sasuke's jaw dropped, obviously shocked at his teacher's words. The final bell rang, dismissing the class. As students were exiting, they snickered as they looked at Sasuke. Sasuke raised a brow. He walked to the front where his brother was supposed to pick him and his friends up. Shikamaru came, frustrated, followed closely by Naruto and Haku who were snickering.

"What's wrong with you?" Sasuke asked the usually calm and relaxed brunette.

"We gotten Jiraiya as our teacher." Shikamaru said.

"Meaning only projects, no testing." Naruto said. "I'm also his favorite student."

"We decided to be partners in every project that we could choose our partners." Haku stated. They looked at Sasuke and bursted out laughing.

"Dude," Shikamaru gasped. "What happened to your face?"

"What are you talking about?" Sasuke asked. Hinata and Gaara arrived at the waiting area.

"Shouldn't have fallen asleep," Hinata said, "You know that Kakashi doesn't like students sleeping in his class."

"Could someone please let me know what is so funny?" Sasuke shouted, exasperated. Haku took out a pocket mirror from his back pack. Sasuke took the mirror and looked at himself. Written on his forehead with a marker was the word 'idiot' all in capitalized letters. The minivan came around.

"Seriously, one of you should go learn how to drive." Itachi said, when he opened the door. He took at one look at Sasuke and bursted out laughing.

"If you're going to use make-up at least put it on without writing that you are an idiot." Sasuke growled as he climbed in. Everyone took their seat and buckled their seats. "So how was the first day of school?" Itachi asked enthusiastically.

Every one answered in perfect unison, "It was okay." When they reached home, Gaara, Shikamaru, Haku and Naruto got their stuff from the sleepover.

"See you tomorrow." Naruto told him.

"See ya." Sasuke said. Once he closed the door, Sasuke rushed to the bathroom to wash off the marker. He spent hours trying to get his face clean. While in the bathroom, he was able to hear Itachi still laughing at him.

Remember the pretty button that some writers tell you to press to review. Well, I won't because you should already be tempted from the goodness of your heart. Hope you enjoyed the chapter. See you probably next month, next year...whenever I shall update (hopefully soon).
