Don't Get Too Close || NaruHina

Chapter One || I'm Insecure and I Care What People Think

All I could do was give a hopeless nod, not meeting his eyes.

So he was the one who bumped into me.

Why is it that I always feel nervous around him? He never seems to notice, nor does he even seem to care. He's always after a certain girl with pink hair. That girl, well, she's kind of my friend. She's very aware of his crush on her, and she chooses to ignore it, since she has the hots for his best friend Sasuke. Who also, sadly, seems to ignore her.

"Hinako-" Naruto started.

"Hinata." I corrected him, giving him a glare for not even knowing my name correctly.

He lifted his hands up in surrender. "Ha ha, sorry. I knew it was something like that... Hinata, I think we should try and find a way out. Don't you?"

I nodded, bringing my phone out to see that it was now past four o' clock. Frowning, I placed my phone back into my pocket.

"I-Is there even a way out? I m-mean, the only exit is the door, and that's locked." I stated matter-of-factly.

"You must not talk to many people, you stutter quite a lot." He said, eyeing me up and down. He leaned closer to my ear, lowering his voice. "Maybe I can change that."

A shiver glided up my back as I gulped, feeling the heat rise to my face.

What does he mean by that? What does he have in mind?

I shook my head, releasing the thoughts from my mind.

He smirked, a chuckle escaping his lips. "You're cute, Hinata."

My blush increased. "W-Wha-?"

The next thing that I knew is that he bursted out in laughter, his hands holding his stomach as he gave a fox like howl. "Ha ha, man... I love seeing the look on your face. You're just too fun to mess with." He said in between laughs, wiping a tear from his eye.

An unladylike noise escaped my mouth as I thought of ways to kill this dude.

"Alright, alright." He grinned, placing his arm around my shoulders. "How about we find a way out of this prison, yeah?"

I rolled my eyes, muttering a "Isn't that what we were supposed to do to begin with?"

"What was that?"

"N-Nothing!" I said a little too quickly, bringing a sheepish smile to my face.

Giving me an uncertain look, he pulled out his phone, and began to scroll through his contacts.

"What're you doing?" I asked, peaking over his shoulder to get a look at his phone.

He turned around, showing me his phone. "I have the janitor's number. I'm sure he'll be nice enough to let us out."

What kind of person has the janitor's number?

"Uh... O-Okay, yeah."

He smiled at me, and I couldn't help but smile back. He's got one of those contagious smiles that just fills your body with the warmth of the sun on a spring breeze.

Naruto put the phone up to his ear, waiting for the janitor to pick up. When he didn't, he called again, and then a third time, before he decided to just give up. "Ugh," he groaned aloud. "He didn't answer."

"I...can see that." I stated, giving him an amused look. "Why do you even have the janitor's number?" I finally decided to ask, tilting my head to the side slightly like a confused puppy.

He coughed, glancing anywhere but my eyes. "Well, you see..." He began scratching the back of his head in embarrassment. "I always get stuck inside the library, and would call him to unlock the door for me. He's quite fond of me actually."
