Chapter 1: New School

Beep... beep... beep. Hinata awoke to the sound of her alarm. She slowly rose and got ready for her first day of school. The whole summer she spent it in constant fear but hopefully with he start of high school she wont have to live in fear as much.

Hinata grabbed her school stuff and began walking to Temari's house. Temari was Hinata's best friend, they've been friends since middle school, a lot of things happened from then and now but the most memorable was when Hinata first met Temari.

She was staring out the window when suddenly a boy came and began picking on Hinata and hitting. After a few minutes of this Temari came around the corner and saw this. She was fuming, she beat up the boy until he cried for his mother. Since then Temari has always been at Hinata's side protecting her.

Temari had changed a little for she was a bit more calmer. Temari was one year older than Hinata and was supposed to be a grade higher as well but since she had several absences, bad grades, and a tendency to beat up most of the boys she was held back. Thankfully though, after meeting Hinata she worked hard to keep her grades up and no beat up the boys at least in public, all so she could graduate with Hinata.

Hinata walked up to the door and knocked on it.

Konkuro answered with a grin from ear to ear on his face. "Hey Sis, Hina is here if you don't answer the door I might just take her to school in my new car by myself." He called.

Temari grabbed her stuff and came to the door.

"Or I can take your precious car and sell for the fair price of nothing after i get done beating it!" Temari said.

"On second thought you guys should walk it's a lot more healthier." Konkuro answered.

Temari smiled and began walking out the door with Hinata.

School was too far away it was just a few more blocks so Hinata didn't mind the walking.

When they got there they looked at the class schedule board. It read:

"Yay! We're in the same classes together!" Temari yelled hugging Hinata.

"I'm so happy!" Hinata said hugging Temari back.

"Finally all my hard work paid off and it's all-"

"Will Temari Sabaku come to my office, now!" Principle Tsunade exclaimed over the intercom.

"Damn, I haven't even started my classes and I'm already in trouble. Well I'll see you in class hopefully, bye Hinata!" Temari waved a walked off to Tsunade's office.

Hinata looked at her watch and noticed that school wouldn't start for 10 minutes so she decided to walk to her first class.

When she arrived at her homeroom the door was shut but the lights were on and she could vaguely see two students in there, she opened the door slowly and was shocked when she saw Sasuke and Naruto... kissing!

Hinata turned beat red when Sasuke saw her and he pulled away.

"I'm so sorry! I-I didn't mean to walk in! I was just going t-to class early and I-I saw you two in here and didn't think to knock but i should have I'm sorry!" Hinata said, apologizing frantically and then ran out of the classroom as she did that she ran into someone and dropped all of her stuff.

Hinata was on the ground and began scrambling to pick it up. "I'm s-so sorry I should have l-looked where I was going. Pl-please forgive me." Hinata said.

She looked up and it was a boy with long blonde hair and beautiful light blue eyes. His eyes were so captivating, Hinata felt as if she were in a trance just by looking into them.

"No, I'm sorry I bumped into you. I apologize." He helped her pick up the rest of her stuff and her as well. It wasn't until she was standing that she noticed another boy with wavy red hair next to him.

The boy with the red hair whispered something in the blonde's ear that made him upset and fume off.

Hinata went to her assigned locker and put some of her extra stuff in it, when the bell rang.

She quickly walked to class and it was almost full there were only three empty seats in the back. Hinata took the seat nearest to the window sill and waited patiently for the teacher to arrive.

After the second bell he walked in.

"Alright class, my name is Sensei Asuma and you will address me as so. I am your English and literature teacher as well as your homeroom. Now I know this must be very exciting that it is the first day of school and I know you just can't wait to start learning but I always start the day very tediously taking attendance. I hope you all remember the rules of this, I say your name and you say here or present or whatever noise you usually make that indicates you're alive and in this room at this moment." Asuma spent 10 minutes taking attendance because he had trouble pronouncing some names and he had lost his pencil and spent 5 minutes trying to look for it.

When he got to the end of the attendance sheet there were two boys still missing, a boy named Deidara and another boy named Sasori.

After about another minute waiting for them he marked them absent.

"Anyway, I took the liberty of typing a syllabus just in case you ever get confused by the rules in here, when you read it I want you to sign it in pen. Also-"

"We're here." Someone said coming in the class.

Hinata looked and saw that it was the two boys from earlier.

"Ah, you must be Deidara and Sasori." Asuma said looking from the blonde to the red head. "I'm so glad you could make it. I understand that it is the first day of school but next time you won't have that excuse so please come to class on time. Now take a seat, there are two extra seats near Hinata. Miss Hyuuga please raise your hand."

Hinata rose her hand and then set it down when they came over to her.

For some reason Deidara couldn't keep his eyes of Hinata. He didn't understand it but something about her made him feel different. She was obviously different from the rest of the girls, she was more mature but there was something else about her...

Finally the bell rang, Hinata's next two classes her Gym and History. They went by much quicker and smoother and then it was time for lunch.

Temari had her first lunch detention for messing with Shikamaru in Gym and he got detention for telling the teacher he was being a drag.

Hinata sat at an empty table with her lunch.

Deidara and Sasori saw this and walked over there.

"Hey." Deidara said.

"I-is this your table? I could move somewhere else if you want?" Hinata said getting up.

Deidara stood up as well and shook his head. "No-no it's alright we came over here to sit with you."

"Oh okay." Hinata said.

"Well, actually I wasn't planning on coming over here but Deidara insisted. Truth be told I think he likes you." Sasori said with a grin.

Hinata blushed.

"What the hell Sasori! Don't you ever know when to stop playing around! You jerk!" Deidara said.

Hinata couldn't help but giggle at their friendly feud.

"What's so funny?" Deidara asked.

"Oh it's nothing. It's j-just that I can tell you two have been friends for a-a long time."

"Yeah, I guess you can say that." Sasori replied.

Deidara was about to say something more but the rest of the Akatsuki group came towards the table. The Akatsuki was a group made up of mainly friends, they interacted with each other outside of school as business partners working on missions to further their careers. No one can really say what they do on these missions but everyone can guess.

They took a seat at the table and most of them looked at Hinata.

Deidara, seeing how uncomfortable this was making Hinata, introduced everyone.

Hinata was introduced to all of them including the head of the Akatsuki, Pein. He greeted her warmly first and then everyone took a liking to her, with the exception of Kisame and Itachi.

The rest of Hinata's classes went by even faster and by the time the first day was over she just couldn't wait for tomorrow. She was still shy but she felt like this year would be the best year of her life... hopefully.
