Hey, everyone! So school just let out for spring break. So I'll have a lot of time to update. Yay. So this chapter is going to be short. There will be another one up by, hopefully, later tonight. Hope you like it. Enjoy. Let me know what you think.

Hinata's POV

This morning I wake up with my bedroom overflowing with light. I am blinded. I groan. My guess? Hanabi must have turned on my light when she woke up, hoping it would slowly wake me up. She probably is in the shower as of now.

Sure enough, I hear the shower being turned on. I sigh once more. Today is the first day of school. I hear Hanabi singing in the shower. She's probably excited…more excited than me at least. It's not as if I've never been new before. I even have friends who have already been attending Konoha High, which means I won't be lonely on the first day, since forever. I just, though, can't shake the feeling that something bad is going to happen. I don't know exactly what will happen and who it will happen to, but something will happen.

"Hinata-oneechan?" I hear an almost inaudible voice say my name. It distracts me from my thoughts and snaps me right back to reality. I look up to find my younger sister sitting on the foot of my bed. Her hair is slightly damp and a little wavy, which I assume is from the shower. She has her dark blue towel wrapped around her body.

"Yes?" I respond.

"I have been sitting here- me, Hanabi, your oh-so-beloved younger sister, has come in a time of need. I beseech you." Hanabi says, adopting a sort of "woe is me" tone in her voice.

I giggle. "You beseech me?" I ask. Oh my God. Hanabi can be so dramatic at times, but I know she's only joking around. I love her to death.

"Yes," she says, trying, and rather failing, at holding a straight, emotionless expression on her face. "I beseech you in this great time of desperate need."

"Okay, I'm listening. What do you want?" I ask, smiling slightly at her.

"Um…Can I borrow your belt?" She asks, giving me puppy dog eyes.

"That's all? I thought you were having friendship problems or trouble with a boy or something and you wanted a piece of my helpful advice." I say jokingly.

"What? No! Mogei and I are stronger than ever. And boys…boys are…boys are….err. Can I please borrow your belt?" Hanabi asks.

"Yes, Hanabi. You can borrow my belt, but…which one?" I ask, while getting out of my bed and walking to my closet.

"The red one. The bright, red one." She answers, eyes twinkling.

"Okay," I answer when I spot the one she wants. "Here you go- say. Since when has this been in here? I ask suspiciously.

"Well, to be honest my darling oneechan…" Hanabi stats to say.

"What? Out with it, girl." I say.

"You bought it two months ago. I kinda sorta borrowed it when you were at Tenten's house. I forgot to give it back. I remembered to though…three days ago. Heh.." Hanabi smiles innocently.

I stare at her.

"I love you?..." Hanabi says with puppy dog eyes again.

I frown at her. "How many times have I told to not come into my room and borrow- no- steal my stuff when I'm not around? Ask first. I mean really-"

"Sorry, if we start this now, we'll be late to school,"Hanabi interrupts me ,"You said you would walk with me to the bus stop, right?"

I sigh. She takes the belt from me and runs to her room.

I decide to get ready. After a long shower, I take time to dry my hair. I'm in no hurry to go to a place where I won't fit in. Sure I have Kiba, Tenten, Shino, and Neji. But, what if they realize how much of loser I really am?

I remember how in 6th grade, I was told that I always seemed gloomy and uninteresting. Ah. I remember now- Karin said that to me. She also said I'm weird too. She and I were alone, waiting for Sakura to be dropped off at school. I remember how it made me feel. I would always wonder if that was the reason why Sakura started drifting away from me? Am I really gloomy and uninteresting? Am I too weird? Did she get bored with me?

"No. If you were, Kiba wouldn't be your best friend. He wouldn't have even talked to you. Same with the rest of them." I think to myself. But what If I'm wrong? What if I really am and they just managed to look past that?

I finish drying my hair and don't bother to straighten it. I brush it out and put it in a high ponytail once again, the same way I put it yesterday. I leave my bangs as they are. I put on some light pink lip gloss and blot it a little bit so it's not as shiny.

I walk to my room, with a lavender-colored towel tied around me. I shut the door, take off the towel and put on some lavender-colored underwear. I stare at myself in my mirror and immediately blush. "Wow," I say aloud. I giggle. I go to my closet to look at what outfits it has to offer.

I end up settling on a plain white v-neck tshirt with a black camisole underneath. I slip into some dark blue skinny jeans and put on my black converse high tops. I walk downstairs and wait for Hanabi. I hear her running down the stairs. I know it's her because none of the older members of our family would run down the stairs, especially with such excitement. She poses in front of me.

"So. How do I look?" She asks.

I take in her outfit. She's wearing a black tank top, dark blue denim miniskirt, and black leggings that reach her ankles. The red belt she borrowed from me is looped around her waist. It matches the red ballet flats she has on. She is also wearing mascara, which she really doesn't need. I know because her eyelashes look a shade darker than usual.

"Hot." I say, with a smile on my face, giggling.

She smiles back. "I prefer smokin', but thank you."

I shake my head. She cracks me up sometimes.

I grab my house key, my backpack, and walk outside and down the sidewalk with Hanabi.

I even wait with her, as I am still in no hurry to get to school.

"You don't have to wait with me," Hanabi says.

I shrug.

"I want to," I say.

"Thanks," she says, smiling.

She sighs.

"What is it?" I ask.

"What if...what if I don't make any friends?" she asks.

"Well, you have Konohamaru, Moegi, and Udon, no?" I ask.

"Yeah, but we don't have any classes together," Hanabi says, sounding disappointed.

"Really?" I ask.

She nods.

Hm...

"Well, I'm sure you'll be able to make some new friends. Who wouldn't want to hang out with you?" I ask, trying to be encouraging.

"Obviously, no one besides Konohamaru, Moegi, and Udon," Hanabi says, looking away, "I had no friends when we had lived those few years in Suna. I had the soccer girls, I guess, but still...not the same. We only talked at practice or games."

"Hanabi, it's your first day. Don't set yourself up for failure already," I say.

Just then a boy with black hair runs up to the stop.

"Oh no, am I late?" he asks.

I shake my head, smiling at him.

"No...well, at least I hope not. Otherwise, I would be late too," Hanabi says.

The boy laughs.

Hanabi smiles.

"I'm Inari, by the way," the boy says, holding out a hand to us.

"I'm Hanabi," Hanabi says, shaking his hand.

"Hinata," I say, shaking his hand after her.

"I'm guessing you two are sisters?" he asks, smiling.

We both nod.

"Are both of you waiting for the bus?" he asks.

"Technically, yes, but I'm the one getting on," Hanabi explains, "Hinata is just waiting with me."

"Oh! Okay," Inari says looking at me, "So...I'm guessing you're in high school then?"

I nod and say, "I'm a sophomore."

"What grade are you in?" Hanabi asks.

"8th," Inari says.

"Really? So am I," Hanabi says, sounding happy.

Inari looks excited.

"Really!? Okay, hold on," he says, taking off his backpack and setting it on the ground.

He unzips it and looks through it until he pulls out a paper.

Hanabi looks confused.

"Want to compare schedules?" he asks.

"Sure!" Hanabi says, pulling hers from her back pocket and unfolding it.

They exchange their schedules.

"We have all of our classes together!" Inari exclaims.

"Yeah!" Hanabi exclaims back.

Just then, a school bus pulls up.

"Why haven't I seen you before?" Inari asks, as he and Hanabi give each other their schedules back.

"I'm new this year," she explains.

"Oh! Okay, well want to sit together on the bus?" Inari asks.

"Sure," Hanabi says, smiling.

She looks at me and gives me a hug.

"Thanks for waiting," she says, smiling.

I hug her back and say, "No problem. Have fun, you two."

"Thanks," they say at the same time.

They look at each other and smile.

"Well, Konoha Junior high awaits," Inari says, "Ready?"

Hanabi takes a deep breath.

"Ready," she says.

They both get on the bus and take a seat.

Hanabi, who is sitting in a window seat, rolls down the window and waves at me.

"See you later," she says, smiling.

I wave back and the bus drives off.

I then put in my ear phones and make my way to Konoha High.

Hope you liked it. I apologize for any mistakes that I missed.

Until later,
