Hi, it's LizaUzumaki! (Please read for better understanding of the story!)

This story shows how our favorite Naruto characters go through their High School years, with Hinata being the new girl and falling in love with the person girls would die for, Namikaze Naruto.

Since this is an AU I didn't want to make poor Naru-kun an orphan when he has the chance of having a family, so Minato and Kushina are alive and Kyuubi doesn't exist, therefor his name is Namikaze.

This story will have LEMONS! Beware.

The Main couple is, of course, NaruHina and a few others that will be reveled throughout the fan fiction.
Please Note that there's Sakura bashing in this story and she will kind of be the girl people see as mean in school, BUT she will have a happy ending.

That's all for now, so the only thing that's left to say is: Enjoy ^^

AU – Honored Students of Konoha High School

Chapter 1 - Welcome to Konoha High School

"HYUUGA HINATA! GET DOWN HERE THIS INSTANT!" Said hip-long, dark-haired, sixteen year-old girl yelped and sat up on her bed, taken by surprise by her father's loud and seemingly impatient yell. It took Hinata a while to actually realize where she was, or more importantly, the current time and date.

Still drowsy, the girl glanced at the antique clock that hung on the room's white wall and what she saw made her eyes shoot open in shock. Acting on instinct, Hinata stood up and rushed towards the wooden closet. She threw the school uniform, which she had gone to school to buy a month ago, onto her messy bed and rushed towards the bathroom.
She got ready as fast as she could, finishing up in the bathroom and dashing out into her room again.

"Hinata! I'm warning you!" Hiashi, her father, called up the stairs from the ground-floor of the house. He sounded pretty mad, but he had all the right reasons to. It was 07:55 and she was supposed to have woken up with fifteen minutes precedence.

"Great. First day at a new school and I'll already be coming in late." Hinata mumbled to herself as she got into her special Konoha Sophomore outfit. She put her knee-long socks and her shoes on and ran out the room and down the stairs on the double, meeting a crossed-armed father.

"Hinata. Go now…"

"Hai, Otou-san." She replied with a nod and in less than a minute she was out of the house. Hiashi shook his head.

"That girl…" He said to himself and returned to his study.

'Oh no! School will start in one minute!' Hinata thought as she ran as fast as she could towards her goal. Finally, she saw the main gate and just as she passed through the metal bars, the bell rung. Thank god she lived near school. She took her schedule out of her black schoolbag. First hour was introduction in room 10A.

The halls of the main building were already deserted and, to deepen Hinata's stress, she had no idea where freaking room 10A was. She looked around and saw a map on one of the walls. It read that she had to go to the second floor and turn right twice. The last door in that corridor. She took a deep breath, evening her pants. Running from home to school wasn't exactly a walk on the beach. After two minutes of searching, she finally reached the classroom. She knocked politely on the door.

"Come in." A voice commanded. She opened the door and looked into a white classroom with modern chairs and desks that were aligned in four rows. The back row was the highest one and the other three would be lower depending on its number, as if the desks were stairs.

In front of the class was a rather large desk that obviously belonged to the teacher, who himself sat on its edge. His hair was silver and was stretched up in large spikes. It was all inclined to the side. As for his face, it was covered by a black mask that only allowed people to see from the bridge of his nose and up.

"Ah, Miss Hyuuga. What a good first impression we get of your punctuality." He said smiling sweetly and closing the little orange book that he held in his hands.

"You're the one to talk!" A male voice half shouted from the back row. Hinata looked over at the boy and his image made her blush lightly. He was the most gorgeous thing she had ever seen in her life. His blond hair was spiky and wild and his blue eyes were sky-blue. They were the things that caught most of Hinata's attention. She felt as if she could stare into them forever and be happy. What also surprised her were the markings on his cheeks. The boy had three whisker marks on each of them, marking his perfect, tanned skin. She popped out of her thoughts once he resumed talking. "I'm actually stunned that you came on time today, Kakashi-sensei." The teacher sighed.

"Tsunade-sama told me she'd have my head if I was late on the first day of school, Naruto." He replied. Naruto. That was his name. It fit him perfectly. His gaze suddenly turned to her and he smiled welcoming. She looked back at the teacher, who apparently was called Kakashi, to hide her blush. "You can sit next to Sabaku no Temari in the third row." He pointed towards a blond girl with four pig-tails. She seemed to be day-dreaming, but once her name was mentioned she looked up and smiled.

"Sure, come over… anou…" Temari said.

"Hinata. Hyuuga Hinata." Hinata said with a soft, delightful voice. She walked towards the nice girl and only then did she notice that she would be sitting directly in front of that Naruto guy. The Hyuuga girl kept her cool and took her seat. She had Temari on her left and the seat on the right was free.

"Hey there, Hinata. Welcome to Konoha High Sch-"

"Temari, leave the introduction for later." Kakashi-sensei interrupted the blond girl and she instantly obeyed, straightening her back, but once he turned his back to explain on the blackboard at which time they had lunch break, she slumped down on her desk and made a bored face to which Hinata giggled. After the explanation the bell rang.

"Hum… so now we have math with Kakashi-sensei. Oh god." Temari grumbled, but then turned towards Hinata. "Whatever. Well, you already know my name and I already know yours. So why did you move to this High School?"

"Oh, it's just because of my cousin. My father likes him and sees him as a good influence on me, so he thought it would be best if my sister and I spent more time with him." Hinata replied.
"It's Neji, right?" She nodded. "Yeah, I know him. He's part of the group."

"Group?"

"Yeah, we sort of have a group of friends here; I'll introduce them to you once we have time, okay?" Temari suggested and Hinata agreed. "Oh and I noticed how you looked at Naruto there." She blushed.

"T-Temari, I-" Hinata was instantly shushed.

"I'll tell you something. Naruto is a very nice person. He's social and likes to have fun, but he's also the hot-shot of this high. You know… best in physical education, the guy a lot of girls are after and such. The whores will get on your nerves if you get too close to him. And "too close" for them is a simple handshake."

"Whores?" Hinata asked, cocking her head to the side in confusion.

"Yeah, Sakura's gang." She pointed towards a group of girls, which was obviously led by the pink-haired girl who was babbling on and on, getting wide eyes from the rest. "Sakura's after Naruto, y'know? They've never been together, though. Naruto is very sweet. He freely admitted that he has been holding his first kiss for that "special girl". Of course Sakura got her hopes up and is doing everything to be that girl." Temari finished explaining. She seemed to notice Hinata's blush, because she gave a light chuckle.

"Hey girls!" A pretty brunette, who had her hair in two perfectly formed buns, greeted, coming from behind Temari with a blond, blue-eyed girl.

"Oh, right. Hinata these are the remaining girls of the group. Ino and Tenten." Temari introduced pointing at the girls as she announced their names.

"Hello, Hinata!" Ino said cheerfully with a very warm smile.

"Shika! Come here!" Temari called to the corner of the room where all the boys were standing and a brown-eyed boy who held his black hair in a high pony tail turned over to smile at Temari. "I want you to meet him now, too!"

"Not now, kids!" Kakashi-sensei announced and, right after he finished speaking, the bell rang. "It's time to start our math class."Everyone groaned except Hinata. Was math with Kakashi-sensei really that bad? She was about to find out.

Hinata had never been so glad to end a class in her life. She usually liked math, but Kakashi-sensei made it specially hard and specially boring. Concentration was something hard to keep during his class, mostly because he would give the class tasks while he read the same orange book as before. Temari had told her that it was written porn and Hinata had instantly dropped the subject.

The girls were walking towards the art room where they would be having class with a teacher called Kurenai, when suddenly the boy named Shikamaru hugged Temari from behind and rested his chin on her shoulder.

"They have been together since we were in grade school, so do not mind the fluffiness." Ino whispered into Hinata's ear. She giggled. Suddenly a boy and a girl walked past them, chattering. The boy had red hair and weird purple eyes with circles around the pupil and the girl had blue hair and a piercing on her lower-lip. Hinata noticed that their clothing was different. Well… the color at least.

"Those are Nagato and Konan and I had the same thoughts as you once I joined this school." Tenten said noticing Hinata's confused look. "Every girl and every boy have the same attire, no matter the age group. Of course the guys don't wear skirts and have ties." She chuckled. "But otherwise, the only difference between the outfits of the freshmen, the sophomores, the juniors and the seniors is the color. Light blue is for freshmen, dark blue for us, the sophomores, gray for the juniors and black for the seniors. Those two you saw are juniors." Hinata nodded in understanding.

The girls wore a skirt that almost reaches the knees and has the age group's respective color. Everyone's socks are white and so is the button- up shirt, but those had the school's symbol, which is: 'KH' in a very beautiful, old calligraphy and had the same color as the skirt. The boys wore the same with pants and the ties had the color of their respective age groups.

"I get it now. Arigato, Tenten." Hinata thanked her.

"Tenten, the fashion-freak." Temari commented, still being held by Shikamaru from behind.

"Temari, the Juliet wannabe." Tenten shot back. "Oh really? But they have nothing in common… awkward, right Ino?" Ino nodded and smirked at the couple. Both were shooting knifes with their eyes.

"S-so…" Hinata started breaking the tension. "Who else is in the group?"

"Well, we also have Kiba, your cousin Neji, Gaara and Matsuri." Ino said.

"And we're right here!" A cheerful voice exclaimed, making the word 'here' eco through the hallway. The boy who had yelled it was met by Ino's fist.

"Baka no Kiba, don't do that!" She yelled in anger. She started protesting about Kiba's manners and whatnot, when Hinata heard a familiar voice.

"Hinata." The girl turned around to face her cousin.

"Neji!" Hinata greeted him with a warming hug, which he returned. Once they broke apart she spoke again "How have you been? I haven't seen you in a year."
"I'm fine, as always." He replied with a soft smile.

"Soooo, are you going to introduce us to that hot chick, Neji?" Kiba asked after a quick pause of warm smiles and memories. Hinata turned blood red and glared at the perverted boy. Ino of course hit him again.

"This is Hyuuga Hinata, Neji's cousin." Tenten said pointing at the pale-eyed beauty. "Hinata, this is Kiba, Gaara, Temari's brother, and his girlfriend Matsuri." She pointed at a red-haired boy and a brunette. They were holding hands.

"Hi." Gaara said.

"Pleased to meet you, Hinata!" Matsuri greeted eagerly. Hinata smiled warmly at all of them. She was glad she had already made friends, but to be honest… there was one more person she would like to know better. That person was Naruto. Hinata blushed crimson just at the thought of him. He's so handsome and everyone says he's really nice, too. "I really want to meet him…"
They soon got to the art room, which was still closed. It seemed like Kurenai-sensei was late. The group was in the middle of a conversation about how boring Kakashi-sensei could be and Hinata joined in… until something, or rather, someone caught her attention.

From the corner of her eye, she saw Naruto, standing there next to a guy who she had heard the blond call Sasuke. The onyx eyed boy was as tall as Naruto, maybe a bit shorter and had pale skin that was almost the opposite of Naruto's tanned one. Hinata did not turn around, she did not talk. She just stood still

"So, are you going to Friday's practice, Sasuke?" Naruto asked excitedly. He and his best friends were the bests in sports and Naruto was the quarterback for Konoha High School's main football team. He played since he was eight years old so with practice he pulled it off quite well.

"Well, duh! Would I ever let a loser such as you overtake me when it comes to football?"The raven-haired replied.

"Whatever-" Naruto stopped once he noticed Hinata, the new girl, standing a few feet away from him with a light blush and her head hanging down. He asked himself why she was in that position and quickly made a decision. "I'll go make Hinata feel welcome then." He said walking over towards the group and leaving the confused Sasuke and Sai behind. They shared a glance, but shrugged it off.

"Hey, guys." He greeted standing between Hinata and Temari.

"Hey!" Everyone replied. Naruto smirked. As soon as that was over, everyone resumed talking, but this time the Hyuuga girl remained quiet.

"So Hinata, do you like the school so far?" The blond asked trying to get into a conversation with her. The first impression he had gotten of her was that she was hot, cute, but shy at the same time. Now he wanted to know if she was as beautiful on the inside as she was on the outside.

"O-oh. Yes, I like it very much, Naruto. It's rather different from my old one." She answered.

"Ooh, I never told you my name and you already know it. You must really like me." He commented, following his remark with a chuckle.
"I-I could say the same for you, though." Hinata added sweetly.

"But you introduced yourself to the class." He gave her a smirk.

"I heard your name once and you heard my name once as well." She had this one. Naruto laughed lightly.

"Touché!" He laughed some more. "Now that we are able to have a nice talk, I'll introduce myself properly. My name is Namikaze Naruto." He stretched his hand forward. Hinata gently took it.

"And I am Hyuuga Hinata." She said with a soft giggle. 'She's cute.' Naruto thought.

"Sorry, I'm late kids." A female voice announced from the back of the corridor and they all turned around to see Kurenai-sensei approaching. "I had a problem with a few freshmen. Kids never learn." She said the last part to herself and unlocked the door.

Sakura stood with a girl on each side of her. She had listened to Naruto and Hinata's entire conversation and she was not pleased. The girl had touched him.
"Keep an eye on her." She told the black-haired girl on her right, pointing towards Hinata.

"Hai."
