I walked through the school hall the next week; all of the students were gathered around a corner, laughing, some were even holding up posters to their friends what's so funny, I though.

That's when I saw it; Pictures of Karin wearing a balloon pajamas with very dorky glasses were hanging all over the school wall.

I quickly ran towards Kiba, 'what's going on' I whispered to him.

'You didn't hear?' I shook my head, no. 'You are a genius Hinata, someone wrote in the school magazine that there will be a party at Karin's house two days ago, turns out it really was supposed to be next week Saturday, and as you can guess everyone who is anyone went to her house very excited about the get together, and voila'

'Oh no... I can't believe I got the information wrong' I said studying the hem of my clothing. 'Now look at what I've done'. I felt so horrible, it was only my first article and I got already started spreading rumours, maybe the gossip section isn't for me.

'Are you kidding me?' Kiba chucked, 'you made everyone's day'

I looked around and saw that indeed he was right, everyone found the fact that someone just got humiliated real funny, everyone except for Neji. He wasn't smiling at all, in fact he looked angry and he was walking towards me, wait why is he walking towards me we really never talked and in school no one knew we were related.

Does he know it's me? Oh no, will he be disappointed in me like dad? Should I hide? Too late he was already at my side with a scowl on his face.

'Oh hi Neji' Kiba said coolly, sometimes I wised I could be as smooth as him. Why was I so scared anyway, the only ones that knew I was the one in charge of the gossip section apart from the people I was working with was Kiba and I know Kiba wouldn't tell anyone.

'Did you read this morning's paper?' Neji asked ignoring Kiba. He hates the fact that I still hang out with Kiba, I think it's because he thinks Kiba is a bad influence on me.

'N-no why' I stuttered, I really hoped he couldn't see through me.

'I just wanted to tell you to me careful, this journalist are the most mean, backstabbing people ever, and until we find them you have to be really careful'. I sighed; Neji is the school president, it's expected of him to be worried about me. But hearing the way he talked about the journalist really got to me, I thought I could be different.

'Okay thanks'.

The teachers finally got rid of the posters and sent us to class, today went like a breeze before you knew it, and it was launch. I have never been so happy to be sitting on the launch table with my friends.

But my friends weren't their self today, nobody was, we were all looking at the scene on the popular side of the table.

'Hey, dorky' That was Karin's new name since this morning, I couldn't help but feel bad, even though Karin wasn't a nice person, no one deserved to be treated like that.

'Where did you buy your glasses the ninety nine cent store?' I cringed.

'Hey go sit at the dork table!' The whole table of people were making different comments; I couldn't sit and watch this happening.

So I got up from my table and at that moment Karin looked at me, that's when I saw that she had tears in her eyes. So I did the only thing I could do.

I ran out of the cafeteria.

I didn't care if Kiba was calling be back, or if I looked weird, I just wanted to get away.

I didn't even have the courage to apologise, no I couldn't, I cared too much about my article to put my identity at risk.

I found myself outside the school yard.

Then I saw Sasuke lying on the grass, his hands were at the back of his head, supporting his shoulders, he looked so peaceful with his eyes closed. I should let him rest, I tiptoed away.

'You're not thinking of running again are you?' Sasuke said not even opening his eyes. How did he know I was here?

'I w-wasn't running, I was just giving you space'. I poked my fingers together.

'Come', he patted the ground beside him.

I walked and sat beside him; instead of feeling shy if felt courage. 'How come you're not in the cafeteria'?

'I had my launch here', he went into a sitting position. 'So I'm guessing you didn't find it funny about what happened this morning'

I looked at the grasses, anything but him. I was so overwhelmed with guilt and I was sure it could show on my face. 'Why do you talk to me?' I changed the subject.

'Because I know what's its like to feel invisible'. He got up, before I could ask him any questions, the bell went off, and by the time I looked back, Sasuke was already making his way back into the school.

.

.

Because I know how it is to feel invisible. Those words kept repeating itself again in my head; Sasuke became an interesting topic to me.

I couldn't pay attention in my classes today, but no one seemed to notice.

I thought of Karin, she went home during lunch period, I'm pretty sure she couldn't stand the bulling any longer. I have to make things right.

And then a light bulb went off in my head, a perfect plan to get things back to normal.

.

.

'You're kidding me right? You honestly want me to do this?' SweeetP asked with a raised brow.

'Y-yeah', I wasn't sure if it was going to work, but I had to try.

'Okay, your funeral' she walked to the printing table.

I checked the school magazine the next week, and in the advertising section it read: New this season in Tokyo! And above was a picture of the glasses Karin wore.
