(HINATA POV)

After a short walk, I arrive at the school. I walk to her locker and put the textbooxs, workbooks and homework that I need into my bag swapping them with what I don't. Soon after, I shut and lock the metallic door once again before walking to the library. My eyes fall to the floor when I hear everyone getting asked out by others for the culture festival. 'I wish i had a boyfreind." I sigh quietly while walking quietly down the halls. Suddenly, I hit something soft but still yet firm. confused, my eyes scroll up to meet Gaara's 'OH SHIT.' My mind screams while I ty to keep my cool. Oddly, He doesn't move away or even protest. He just stands there. I try and put on a weak smile bt no avail. I eventually have the courage to move my head upward and step back. "S-sorry Sabaku san..." I squeak while trying to fight the urge to stop blushing but no avail. He just grunts, nods at me and walks off. I look at him with a mixture of confusion and releif. 'Why am I not dead on the floor?' I ask confused.


(GAARA POV) *P.s in bold for Gaara's thoughts means Shukaku's talking*

'What the hell man?' I shout in my mind while walking to the schoolgrounds

'What she's cute.' he half whines half replies

'Well it was... weird' I reply.

'Oh you liked it see' Shukaku states smugly

'YEAH SO WHAT?!' I scream in my mind

'Just that you should give the good girl a chance.' Shukaku says before retreating. I sit at the base of a tree thinking about Shukaku's advice. Soon the bell rings and I run to class.


(Hinata POV)

I sit quietly in the middle of the class next to Ten-Ten and Shikamaru. I copy down notes, formulae and equations for sums I still pay attention so I can do well in the tests. My mind wanders to what happened before class. 'mmm... Gaara has abs...' I think thoughtfully. I soon snap out of the thoughts and a small blush rises to my face. Quickly, I look back at Gaara who is also copying from the board but actally listening to music too. In a hurry, I turn back to the board and Kakashi sensei, our teacher, and go back to taking notes and solving sums.


(Gaara POV)

'Maybe I should give the girl a chance. break the streak of being alone for the upcoming summer.' I say in my head thoughtfully while taking notes in my textbook. I feel somone tap my shoulder and so I look at them. It is Naruto who passes me a picture of a clown with a flamethrower. I snigger quietly before returning to my work. Soon after, I feel a pair of eyes on me. I look up subtly to see Hinata looing at me.

'See told you she is intrested.' Shukaku says with pride

'yeah yeah we'll see.' I say dissmissivley. Moments later, the bell rings and I walk out of class. Soon after, I realise that I don't have my bag. "Shit my bag." I curse quietly. Suddenly, I see a certan raven haired girl infront of me holding... my bag. "Thanks Hinata!" I say smiling at her. She blushes and nods before walking to her class
