Chapter 3

Hinata started to make her way out of the classroom. Her head was still a little foggy on what just happened.

Did I really just have a conversation with Naruto?! Did I really do that?!

Poor Hinata was nearly getting eaten by her thoughts. She wasn't exactly paying attention to her surroundings, that she nearly jumped by the sound of her friend's voice.

"What the hell was that?!"

Hinata turned around to see a, very shocked, Sakura.

"You were talking to Naruto like he was your friend or something! Why?!"

"W-what? No I wasn't" Hinata said playing with her skirt.

"Hell yea you were! Don't lie to me!"

Hinata could feel her face heat up. She didn't like the way Sakura's voice was sounding, very high and angry, it was making her very nervous. It was true, she had spoken to Naruto, but it wasn't even close to the way she would talk to Ino or Sakura. She didn't see what the big deal was; she didn't understand why she was getting scolded by her best friend.

"Listen Hinata." Sakura said. Her voice was as serious as her face. "Stay away from that guy. He's an idiot who just wants to take advantage of girls."

She pointed toward her shy friend," You're just his next target."

Hinata remained silent and nodded in agreement. Although something inside her told her not to, she did it anyways. She didn't want to see Sakura on her downside anymore and they both left the class.

That's not true. He's not like that.

Hinata was sitting in her second period dozing off on what Sakura had said.

"You're his next target."

Although she had made it clear to Sakura that she wouldn't be having anything to do with Naruto anymore, she was still determine to be his, 'messenger.' So basically, she had lied to her friend. Hinata felt guilty for lying to Sakura, she truly did, but deep inside she didn't believe Naruto was trouble.

He's not like that. She kept repeating to herself. He's not.

She kept remembering the way he had looked at her, it wasn't lustful. He hadn't acted inappropriate with her either. Sure, the only reason why he gained interest in her was because he had the 'hots' for her friend but, if it was true about his sex addiction, than why didn't he try to court her? Hinata started to feel a little insecure.

Maybe he thinks I'm ugly.

After all, he had mentioned she was really weird.

Hinata was a living zombie throughout her classes. She was there, but not actually there. She was too busy swarming through her thoughts and feelings. It wasn't until Lunch that she finally could release them.

"Sakura, I know you told me stay away from Naruto but I need to tell you what he said."

Sakura looked up at her. Crumbs of whatever she was eating laid on the corners of her mouth.

"What?" She said with her mouth full.

"Umm...well..." Hinata said fidgeted with her fingers. "He likes you."

Sakura gave a loud, Pshhh! She was a living shotgun, spitting bits and pieces of food out of her mouth. Hinata tried her best to secretly wipe her face, trying not to hurt her friend's feelings. Ino did the complete opposite.

"Eww! What the fuck Sakura! Cover your damn mouth!"

"Shut up you pig!" the pinkette yelled back.

As always, the two girls started to fight each other, verbally assaulting one another with no limits. Hinata had no choice but to intervene.

"c'mon you guys. This is serious."

With no such luck, Hinata spoke again, this time a bit louder.

"Sakura please, you didn't give me an answer."

"I did." She said finally ending her fit with Ino. "I said, 'pshh!'"

"Yea but that's not very specific."

Sakura smirked. "That's a pretty damn lie he told you."

"What do you mean?" Hinata said confused. "And why are you changing the subject?"

"I'm not" she said. "The fact that he told you he likes me is a lie, a big one."

"That's not true!" Hinata said quickly defending Naruto. "You don't know that."

Sakura sighed and shook her head. "You still don't get it do you? Naruto doesn't 'like' girls, he fucks them. That's all there is to it. He doesn't know what it is to like someone; he just knows what it is to like a pussy."

Hinata blushed.

"He's trying to get you to think he's a 'good guy' so he can get laid by the both of us."

Hinata did remember him saying Sakura had a nice rack, meaning body. But she also remembered him saying he wanted to be her ideal man. She was very indecisive on what to believe.

"I like it." Ino interrupted. "It's obvious he doesn't like Sakura but what if he starts to like Hinata. Like, for who she is."

"That's not possible." Sakura laughed.

"No, I'm serious! I mean, let's think fantasy for a second. Imagine! The school's Bad Boy meets the school's Good Girl. At first he's in denial and continues his bad habits, but then has a change in heart and falls head over heels for Hinata! It would be the perfect love story!" Ino said clapping her hands together.

"Not possible." Sakura said carelessly.

Hinata was imagining Ino's love story and it gave her butterflies. Wouldn't she kill for Naruto to like her the way she described it! It sounded so wonderful!

Ino came over to Hinata and hugged her tightly. "Don't worry Hinata! I approve!"

- Hinata was nervous as hell! Her pulse was racing and her hands were sweaty. She could feel the heat rising in the room. It was her sixth period chemistry class and the bell had just rung for class to start. It's obvious what was making her nervous, a fellow classmate named Naruto. He wasn't in class yet, but the thought of them being in the same room again after what she had gone through with him and her friends, was unbearable. Hinata now knew Naruto had never noticed ever, so chances of him noticing her in this class were low. She only prayed that he wouldn't.

"What! That's fucking awesome!"

Hinata could hear Naruto's voice. He was already in the classroom. All she had to do was stay hidden, not that that's any challenge, but she had to keep it in mind.

"Hey Himata! You're in this class?!"

Hinata jerked up. Oh no! He had said her name wrong, which hurt Hinata, but noticed her quickly. She could feel her body shaking. She felt something grab her shoulder and she knew exactly who it was.

Somebody kill me now!

Her body turned to the side with great mental effort. She hoped her blushes weren't as red as how hot she felt.

"I swear, You're like a ghost or something. I had no idea you were in this class."

Hinata, just like last time, shrugged her shoulders stupidly.

"Alright everyone! We're doing a simple lab today. Instructions are on each lab table. I'm letting you chose your partner today. " Said the teacher.

Naruto swiftly grabbed Hinata's wrist.

"Let's be partners!" He said and headed to their designated lab station.

On the way there, everything seemed to be in slow motion. Hinata felt like the whole walk to the lab table was nearly a mile. She had to admit, Naruto's hand, felt extremely big on Hinata's small wrist. It gave her a great sensation through her body just by thinking of it.

"So, what she'd say?" Naruto said anxiously.

Hinata came back to reality once he let go of her wrist.

"W-What?"

"Sakura, What'd she say!"

"O-Oh." She said remembering she was his 'messenger'. She started to prepare the lab to make her less nervous.

"She doesn't like you." She said softly.

"That's not a problem. They always start off like that." He said arrogantly.

"N-no I mean, she really doesn't like you."

"Like hate?"

Hinata shyly nodded looking at her shoes.

"That's ok. Then I'll just rape her ass."

Hinata was startled by his comment. She looked at him and moved back a little. She had fear in her eyes, but to Naruto, it looked like fearful puppy eyes. Her soft, warm blushes weren't helping her look any tougher either.

She's so cute! He thought.

The adorable sight in front of him made him burst out in laughter.

"I'm kidding!" he said "You should see your face right now! It's hilarious!"

Hinata's cheeks got warmer and, unfortunately, redder.

"W-Whats wrong w-with my face?" she stuttered. At the end of her sentence she consciously pouted. It looked so cute to Naruto, not arousing, but so damn cute.

What the hell I'm thinking?!

"Stop that." He said.

Hinata was looking very flustered.

"W-what?" She said with the most innocent puppy eyes.

It drove Naruto crazy!

"That."

Hinata still didn't understand and her face remained the same. Naruto was on the verge of going insane! He grabbed her chin with his two fingers. Hinata's face turned beat red.

"Stop pouting you little girl."
