A/N not much to say. please review. and stuff. :)

Chapter 1 was just kind of a flashback. real story begins here.

kind of short, but i thought I'd post it anyway

Disclaimer: I, sadly, do not own Naruto. If I did somehow get my hands on it though, well, that's a different story.

Chapter 2: And so it begins

I keep walking and as I get near Hinata's house, I see her waving at me from the front lawn. I wave back and attempt to speed walk through the street in order to get to her location quicker. When I get there, I take notice of her clothing. Hasn't changed. she still dresses somewhat semi casual. she would be what is categorized as 'nicely dressed'. You know, like blouses, skirts that actually cover, that kind of thing.

"Good morning!" I say, a little out of breath from speed walking. damn I'm so out of shape. That's probably what happens when you sit there day dreaming instead of actually doing something productive during summer vacation. Oh well. too late now. I'll just have to attempt to fix my fitness problem another time. Hinata gives me the same greeting of 'good mooning' and without further ado, we start walking towards the building we are going to have to spend most of our day in. School. Hokage Collegiate.

In perspective, the building gets bigger and bigger as each step is taken, and with every step, I become more excited to see Sasuke, but nervous at the same time. We are finally on school property and I can hear all the loud chatter of the students who were most likely just as excited as I was, but probably not for the same specific reason. At least, let's hope not. that would mean competition. And I do not need that. Considering he hasn't even recognized me at school yet, or he probably doesn't want to. damn, my life sucks.

I see Naruto with the other people I don't recognize. one has spiky brown hair and coal black irises. His eyes were slightly narrow making him look a tad menacing, but the grin on his handsome face seems to say otherwise. he also has some sort of strange red, upside-down triangles on each cheek. I think it's a tattoo, but you can never be too guy standing next to him also had brown hair, but it appeared to be long enough to put up in the high, spiky ponytail he is currently sporting. He had dark brown eyes and they seem to be half closed, making him look sleepy or lazy. The last guy was someone I recognized from being friends with Hinata. It was her cousin, Neji, whom I have met a few times during the summer because he was staying over at Hinata's house. He had long brown hair (it's almost as long as mine, it's creepy, but he's pretty hot, so that makes up for it) that was tied at the end. he has the same pupil-less eyes as Hinata. That kinda proves that it really does run in the family. They were all quite tall, but I wasn't complaining. I like guys that are taller than me. I'm boy-crazy okay? so what?

The first boy introduced himself first. He said his name is Kiba and that it was nice to meet me. I introduced myself in return. He was so cute, but Sasuke is still the only one for me. The boy next to Kiba was apparently named Shikamaru. Kiba introduced him because he thought it was "too troublesome". I think I may be right about him being lazy. Thanks to my amazing observation skills. yeah right. Neji just told me that it was nice to meet me again, I said the same. I might have a lot of fun if the school is filled with such hot guys this year, but one can only hope. Apparently, these three, Kiba, Shikamaru and Neji, transferred here from the same school because their school, oddly, only goes from junior high to first year high school. weird right? I know. I also heard there were going to be a couple of exchange students so I'm kind of excited about that too. Mostly, though,I can't wait to see Sasuke. With my luck and our age gap, I most likely won't have any classes with him, so i have to rely on my free period and lunch to 'see' him. In other words, that's when I get to stalk him.

The day went by with me doing first day of school stuff. In all actuality, it wasn't really the official first day of school. It was what they dubbed "Orientation Day", but as it turns out, that was just a fancy title for 'go around the school, find where your classes are, then go home when it's time for you to'. The day went by quicker than I expected. I found out that I had free period with Hinata, which was the last period, meaning we can go home early! score! My schedule goes, Art, English, Science, Lunch, Cooking, then my free period. I actually really like this schedule because I have my favourite subject first, Art. Am I lucky or what? now I have more things to look forward to in school. That really does make my good day even better than it already is. "Orientation Day" was finally over. It only took half the day anyway. I am slightly a bit disappointed though, because I didn't see Sasuke even once today. Aparently, I spoke too soon because as Hinata and I were waking home from school, I see Sasuke and his friends walking on the other side of the road. They seem to be talking about something, or rather someone, but it's not like it's any of my business. I kept thinking in said manner until I look at them once more and was met by the sight of one of Sasuke's friends pointing at me as I was walking, and if that wasn't bad enough while the finger was following me like a magnet so are his and his friends' eyes. Yeah, because it is so not obvious that you are talking about me. Once again, that was what is known as sarcasm. You might as well get used to it, considering the fact that I use it everyday of my fantastic life.

What they could possibly be talking about me for? i have no clue either, but now it's made me curious. So many things have been going on today and it's not necessarily a bad thing, it's just making me a little overwhelmed. I mean, reuniting with your best friends, meeting new people, and seeing your crush stare at you (don't know if it's in a good way or not, but regardless, it's still staring) has taken its toll on my unfit body. This is when I start to regret eating bacon all the time, but that's another story.

Hinata and I continue to walk home silently, but inside my head, a million different things are going on. It was a tornado of thoughts and I wasn't sure I was going to make it home sane, if I make it home at all. After all, what's a girl to think when the boy she has a huge crush on appears to have been talking about her with his friends? Especially when said boy is THE Sasuke Uchiha? Well…she dwells on the thought of something happening until she eventually melts into a puddle of insanity, that's what. I am now unsure whether I'm excited about the first day of school, or scared to death. Watch out Hokage Collegiate, you're in for some drama.
