Hinata looked terrible. Dressed in an old dark blue layered skirt that stopped mid calf, with an off white button up long sleeve shirt that had lace done the front that was yellowing, scuffed clunky school shoes and long white socks that wouldn't stay up.
"Ten you want me to wear this?" she uttered in disgust, shuddering even worse when Tenten passed her thick framed glasses.
"yeah, I'm going for an ugly duckling story, so you'll be wearing stuff like this for a while" Tenten shrugged an apology and steered her friend to a seat.
"it take 5 shots per second, so I want you to act it out and speak while you're doing it, okay, Sasuke you and Sai are gonna walk past Hina talking, Sasuke knocks your books off the table by accident and stops to help, Hina your shy and just go from there" Hinata looked down at her books feigning interest, faintly hearing the quiet conversation of the two boys. She didn't look up when Sasuke came by and accidentally knocked her books off the table. Turning back he bent down to pick them up as she didn't
"sorry" he muttered smiling apologetically
"i..it's ok...okay" she stuttered in a whisper, Sai mutter a quick talk to you later and Sasuke waved not looking back. Standing back up with half her books she placed them on the table and reached out to take the books from Sasuke. Their fingers touched slightly and it felt like lighting had struck. She gasped and pulled her hand back blushing, cradling her hand to her chest as if his touch hurt. Hinata looked up at him slowly not being able to explain what happened and she wasn't even faking it.
"I'm Sasuke" he offered, she only nodded and blushed more.
"m...my na..name is hi...hi...Hinata" her stutter was unbelievable, she blushed even worse and felt the tips of her ears burning. Hinata covered her face embarrassed, grabbing her bag she fled the scene. Sasuke looking alarmed, almost followed her but decided against it after a few steps.
"Tenten stop the camera" he muttered sprinting from the building. Hinata felt faint. She hadn't felt like that in years. Breathing deeply she sat down, checking her watch. 3:45 fifteen minutes till she had to meet up with the Inuzuka boy. The crunch of leaves alerted her to someone's presence, Sasuke stood there as stoic as ever.
"you okay?" he asked.
"j...just embarrassed" Hinata muttered feeling miserable, head resting in her palm.
"Ah so the stutter wasn't fake, I'm guess neither was the blush" he said as he sat down next to her
"I th...thought I had gotten rid of it but I guess old habits die hard, sorry Uchiha I have to go, I have a date set up that I can't miss." Hinata tried a smile as she left him but it seemed false.
