Chapter 4

The first four classes of my day went by fast and I was determined to go see Isy. I just know that the fight she had with Neji really affected her.

The hallways were empty as I walked towards the band room. I guess I felt a little guilty because the paranoia running through my brain is almost painful. I never really skipped a class before. I was the good girl. Never a detention or a demerit in my whole life. Isy meant more to me than my perfect record.

"Isy?" I knocked lightly on the band room door. Isy let me in without hesitation.

"Don't you have gym with Anko right now?" she asked

"Yeah, but I was worried about you." Isy sat down at her desk.

"Why?"

"You and Neji ... ?"

"Hina..." I ignored her and continued.

"Neji can be thick headed sometimes but he didn't mean it"

"Hina!" Isy raised her voice a little. It wasn't a full-blown yell but her voice was loud enough.

"What?" I said back in the same tone.

"Neji apologized and we talked about it." I stared at her like she was crazy. They had just argued about it yesterday!

"Are you serious?" Isy nodded.

"Before you go to gym where you belong, tell me what happened yesterday."

"Yesterday?" she lost me again. What happened yesterday? My memory must be getting bad and I'm only seventeen.

"Yeah ... with the Uchiha." She looked down at her schedule for the day. "You two weren't like in the janitor's closet making out were you?" She glanced up at me curiously

"No! Isy! Ew! I just bumped into him and then he helped me with my stuff and then we came here." Honestly, she was worse than Tenten.

"Oh ... but just to let you know I approve." She what?

"Of what?' I asked.

"Of him. He has talent when it comes to music." And she can tell this after only one day of music class? You got to be kidding me!

"Well it doesn't matter cause I don't like him." I folded my arms under my chest and pouted.

"Okay, then get outta here." She smirked.

"Pass please." I reached out my hand waiting for the piece of paper. But the piece of paper never appeared into my hand.

"I don't think so."

"But Anko will kill me!" She will! Anko is the craziest person I have ever met. And I have met a lot of crazy in my seventeen years of life.

"I can't show favoritism... I'm sorry Hinata." It was good for her that I was forgiving. I mumbled a "whatever" and stomped out.

"Hyuuga! You're late!" Anko yelled at me the second I walked into the gymnasium.

"I'm sorry sensei." Oh no, what is she gonna do to me?

"It's okay maggot! Just get changed and meet me at the track outside." I obediently did what she told me to do. Punishment was coming I just knew it. "Okay Hyuuga since you see it okay to be late to my class, you will be joining Gai's gym class today." She pointed to where the boys stood in a large group. Gai-sensei was in front of all of them talking animatedly. I walked over and stood in-between Gaara and Shino.

"What are you doing here?" Shino asked.

"I was late ... this is my punishment." I sighed. I heard from Neji once that Gai-sensei runs his gym class harder than Anko does.

"Well good luck with that." Gaara smiled at me sympathetically. I'll need all the luck I can get.

"Now class today we are running 200 laps around the track! Doesn't that sound youthful?!" Gai yelled at his students.

"What?! Are you crazy?!" Naruto yelled back. He was in the front part of the group with Sasuke.

"No, but I am youthful! Now run with youth my students!" The boys and I all started running. Shino, Gaara and I stayed toward the back. After only two laps Gaara started to slow down.

"Go on without me!" he said dramatically. He jogged slowly over to a bench and sat down.

"He lasted longer than usual," I heard Shino mutter. Surprisingly I was focused on the running. I was going to go as far as possible; I will be the last person on the track. "After the fifth lap I'm done. How about you?" he said in between breathes.

"I'm going as long as I can." I won't give up. I looked ahead of me. Naruto and Sasuke were neck and neck. They competed with each other with such passion. It was almost inspiring.

After the fifth lap Shino dropped out like he said he would. I kept going. Gradually more and more boys dropped out to lounge on the bleachers to stare at the cheerleaders or blankly into space. The only ones left on the track were me, Kiba, Sasuke and Naruto. Kiba slowed down, and fell into step with me.

"Hey babe," he called at me between breaths. "You free anytime soon?" I ignored his stupidity and I picked up speed. Sasuke and Naruto weren't that far ahead of me.

"You're going down, bastard!" Sasuke smirked at his rival and best friend.

"GO SASUKE!" the cheerleaders cheered for him. They shook their pompoms and kicked up their feet in the air.

"SASUKE! I LOVE YOU!" a certain pink-haired cheerleader screamed. Somehow Sakura's outburst affected Naruto because he tripped falling onto his face. I leaped over his fallen form and continued running. I was even with Sasuke now.

"Hyuuga, I didn't know you had it in you."

"It's a shame that you underestimated me." I passed by him easily and continued to run even when he stopped. When that lap was finished I threw myself down on the grass next to Shino. My heart felt like it was going to explode from my chest. The last thing I heard was Gai saying, "I never expected anything less from a relative of Neji." Then everything went dark.

Every part of my body hurt, especially my head. I opened my eyes slowly. The room was too bright.

"It's good you're up." Shizune the school nurse said to me. Despite the pain I pulled myself up into a sitting position.

"How did I get here?" I asked. My head was pounding. It felt like ten different people were hitting my head with hammers.

"Your cute boyfriend carried you here. He is still waiting outside. Such devotion. I love love." She smiled. Her smile was as bright as the room I was in. Ouch. But who was she talking about? Gaara? Shino? No they wouldn't have stayed. Naruto? Nah! That would have been my dream come true in grade school but not now. "I'll send him in, okay?"

"Okay" I mumbled, still holding my head. I closed my eyes. Surprisingly the pain wasn't as bad with my eyes closed. When I opened my eyes again dark onyx eyes stared back at me.

"You feeling better?" he asked.

I wish I could have said 'no because you walked in' but I only nodded. Well slightly, my head was still in massive pain.

"Why did you carry me here?" Why wasn't it Gaara? Or Shino? Anyone but you.

"Because I felt it was my responsibility." Sasuke looked down at his hands. Was he nervous or something? A laugh slipped through my lips unintentionally. "What's so funny?" I could tell he was a little irritated.

"It wasn't your responsibility. I didn't ask for your help!" I muttered angrily.

"What, do you want me to just ignore you?!" he sounded as angry as I felt.

"Yeah, you ignoring me would be great!"

"Then you'll get your wish Hyuuga!" He stood from the chair he was previously sitting on and walked out the door without another word.

And I did get my wish. Sasuke ignored me, and you know what? I ignored him too. Even in all the classes we had together where he also happened to sit next to me. He was nothing … blank space or at least that was what I kept repeating to myself in my head.

Isy noticed that something was up and when she asked I just replied with a simple nothing. She didn't question me any further but I knew she was still curious. At that exact moment she also decided that I shouldn't go to dance until Saturday. Was she trying to kill me? Dance was like air! I couldn't live without it!

Thankfully enough Wednesday and Thursday went by fast. Today is Friday. All I have to do is get through today and then I could dance.

Before homeroom I stopped at my locker to pickup some of my things. I turned the combination lock carefully to the specific numbers. I pulled up the latch only to have it slammed shut by a perfectly French tipped manicured hand. I followed the hand to its owner. Bright green eyes glared back at me.

"Hello, Sakura." I really didn't want to talk to her.

"I thought I told you to stay away from my Sasuke!" she screeched. To be honest that's actually all she does. Screech, like a banshee. Tenten or Temari couldn't save me from her this time. I was alone. "Did you hear me?!" she screeched again.

"Unfortunately." It turned away from her and began my journey to homeroom. Yes! Score one for me! I have never really talked back to her like that. It made me feel different … almost stronger.

Sakura pulled out a pink cell phone and started to speed text. She glared fiercely at Hinata's back

The words "she will pay" flashed on the screen. One of her fingers hit send.

"I am so proud of you!" Temari tackled me into a bear hug when I told her about my incident with sakura. The day went by fast just like before and it was already music theory. "First you hit on Sasuke then you fight with him and now you're all RAWR! At Sakura. You are growing up so fast!"

"It's been almost a whole school week and you and Tenten still haven't let it go!" I seriously wish everyone would forget about it, but they won't.

"You know I have a question."

"And that would be?"

"Why are you so mad at the Uchiha anyway?" That was actually a valid question.

"I … I don't know. He underestimated me and I guess I got fed up with him being around me all the time … I don't know." It actually really did confuse me. Why did I snap at him like that?

I spent the rest of music theory thinking about why I was actually mad at him. I didn't really have a good reason.
