Hey guys! im back. sorry for not updating sooner. Remeber, I changed Hinata to not living in an orphanage, that was an accident. as ive said in my other stories, i really appreciate the reviews, follows and favorites ^.^ and i would also appreciate you guys reviewing when you read if there's something you really liked or if there's something i need to fix, or you feel i should do better; you know, constructive criticism. Thanks for reading, on with the story. the next chapter will probably be a time skip. Sorru for uploading and deleting real quick i had to change some stuff.
Hinata didn't really blame most girls for not wanting to hang out with her. Most boys didn't want to be around her too much, or at least, none of the the boys that mattered (the cute ones). She realized this when Sakura Haruno (spelling?) stopped talking to her. Originally, Sakura was one of the girls that was nicest to her. Hinata may not have always been her first choice but whenever her and Sakura got paired up for activities or work they would always talk to each like they were normal. The both of them had an understanding, Sakura would often get teased because of her hair color and big forhead, and Hinata was often cast aside and not talked to very much by other kids. She thought it nice to have a girl friend, even if they weren't best friends. She was also grateful when Sakura befriended Ino.
Ino had an I-don't-care-what-anyone-thinks attitude, Hinata and Sakura admired it both. Ever Since hanging out with Ino, Sakura had grown a bit of a backbone, not very big but it was still there. Hinata liked that Ino didn't care if the other kids didn't like her, she hung out with Sakura and Hinata. Hinata did notice that after Sakura started to hang out with Ino she started to get a bit more popular. Sakura didn't come right out and be blunt about it, but sometimes Sakura would sort of blow her off a bit for other kids because Hinata wasn't very popular, and most kids didn't want to play with her. She liked her new found popularity and friends. Hinata was happy for her, really, she was, she just missed her friend.
Hell broke loose when Ino and Sakura broke up. When both found out about their crushes on Uchiha Sasuke it was a warzone. Both stopped talking to each, planning out attacks on each other and trying to see who could win the Uchiha's heart. Sakura started to care more about her choice of clothing and popularity more by then, and so did Ino. Ino still made room for Hinata when she wasn't busy planning Sakura's demise, but Sakura shut her out, and they ended up drifting apart. And then there was Naruto.
Hinata did admit she happened to be a bit jealous of Sakura... okay, a lot jealous of Sakura. During their childhood she had become more popular and gained friends throughout the years. She even gained the affection of a one boy she didn't even like while Hinata couldn't even get most kids to smile her way or give her the time of day. Hinata wanted to hate her really badly, the same way Ino seemed to, but she couldn't. She didn't feel she had it in her heart, especially since she was basically doing only what Hinata couldn't do for the most part. She couldn't hate her for that, the same way she could only be jealous of Ino for her popularity and good looks, and the way she seemed to be so comterable with everybody around her and outroverted.
She often tried to look on the bright side though, when she could find it. When she grew up she was going to be a fabulous ninja, one of the best in the nation. She would be fought for by all of the nation's, and be vied for by others. Everyone would want to be her friend and hang out with her. Her father wouldn't act so indifferent towards her. Maybe even Neji would learn to smile in her direction in the future. She was aiming for a bright future, it could happen.
