Naruto
My alarm clock went off.
I was too lazy to turn it off, so I let it stay like that for a few minutes until it started hurting my head.
I'm getting sick of this darn clock, I thought.
I grumpily rolled out of bed and fell onto the floor.
"Oowww," I said, rubbing the spot where it hurt.
"How could this day get any worse..." I mumbled.
I stood back up and staggered all the way to the bathroom.
I took a shower and came out, still grumpy.
"What's got you so down," asked pervy sage.
"None of your business," I grumbled.
The old man sighed and gave me my toast of bread.
"I want ramen," I complained, pushing the plate away.
He sighed heavier this time and said, "There's nothing more. Eat this or don't."
I chose not to and swung my backpack on.
"Bye," I said, and shut the door.
I checked my watch. Great, now I'm late, I thought.
I gave up and just walked the way to school, since I missed the school bus.
After around 20 minutes, I entered the school and went upstairs to my classroom.
I opened the door and dropped my backpack on the floor.
"Care to explain why you're over 15 minutes late?" asked Kakashi-sensei.
I just let out a small grunt and plopped onto my chair.
"It seems like someone's late," said Sasuke.
I glared daggers into his eyes, and he just smirked.
"Hinata, why don't you go help Naruto cover up what we went through so far," said Kakashi-sensei.
She flinched a bit, and then slowly nodded.
I swear Kakashi-sensei is smiling under that mask...That pervert..., thought Ino.
My ears perked up.
Hinata-chan took her notebook and switched places with Sasuke.
She sat beside me, and looked at me.
I instantly felt better for some reason.
"N-Naruto-kun, a-are you o-okay?" she asked.
I nodded and grinned, my heart beating faster.
She suddenly looked away. I don't know why.
Hinata
"U-Uhm...so, th-this is a-all that w-we went o-over," I stuttered, circling everything in his textbook we already went so far.
"Hey Hinata-chan. Why are you looking away?" he asked, trying to look at my face.
I looked down.
He tried again, and I looked to the side this time.
"Hinata-chan, look here," he grumbled, putting his hands on either side of my face and turning it towards his.
My eyes widened. I started to blush uncontrollably.
Ocean-blue eyes hit lavender for a second, until realization hit him.
"O-Oh...My bad," he said, letting go of my face.
He looked down and pulled his hoodie over his head. I just looked away.
The bell rang, and we all went from our seats.
Ino-chan caught up to me. "Hey, have you noticed," she asked?
"What?" I questioned.
She smirked a bit and said, "Naruto's been acting a bit different lately."
"No, h-he's fine," I lied.
So it looks like I'm not the only one, I thought.
"Catch up later," she said, walking over to Sai-kun."
I nodded, then looked down.
I haven't told anybody about the kiss yet.
It's not because I don't trust anyone. It's just that...I don't want everyone to worry about me.
Ino-chan is right though. Naruto-kun has been acting a bit differently.
And the weirdest thing was, it was the day after that kiss.
I shuddered even thinking about it.
I was suddenly met by crystal-blue eyes looking up at me.
"Heyyy, Hinata-chan! Are you okay?" he asked, tilting his head.
I looked a bit to the side. I couldn't bear to see his adorable face.
"Hey, not again," he said, meeting my eyes again.
I blushed. His ocean eyes seemed to drag me in.
I stood there for a second.
"Hello?"
I flinched. "O-Oh...s-sorry N-Naruto-kun," I stuttered, smiling at him.
He suddenly tensed and looked away.
"I-It's fine," he mumbled.
We awkwardly stood there there for some time, when Sakura-chan suddenly dragged me away.
"Th-thank you for saving me," I said, smiling at her.
She smiled back. "No problem."
She then glanced at Naruto-kun for a millisecond and back then said, "Come on."
I nodded, and we went to our next class.
Naruto
I tilted my head in confusion as to why Sakura-chan stared at me for a brief millisecond, but I brushed it off.
Now that I think about it, I haven't been having these feelings for Sakura-chan which I usually do ever since the kiss.
I looked down in confusion.
"Yo," said Sasuke.
"Hey..." I said, still lost in my thoughts.
"Dobe, you don't seem you. What's up?" he asked.
"Nothing?"
He looked at me in the eye, seriousness in his eyes.
I gave in, and took a deep breath.
"Uhmm, you know the weekend before we all went to the mall, right?" I asked.
He nodded, and I continued.
"...Someone...kidnapped me..."
His face jerked in my direction in shock and confusion.
"Continue..."
I nodded. "I was cuffed and brought over to this building across the alley."
He nodded in confirmation "And?"
"And I was thrown into this dark room 'ttebayo. Blindfolded."
He tilted his head in confusion. "Why blindfolded?"
I gulped in some air and said, "So I couldn't find out...who...k-kissed me..." I said, looking down.
Sasuke's eyes widened so much that I felt as if they could pop out any second.
"Why? How? Who the heck would do that?" he yelled, bombarding me with questions.
"Shuddup teme, you're too loud!" I quietly growled at him. "Also, I don't know who did that to me."
Sasuke looked down, then back up. His mouth opened, closed, then opened again like a fish.
He finally asked, "Do you know who you kissed?"
"No," I answered. "But...it felt so...soft and..." I paused.
He looked at me. "Could she have been anyone in this school?"
I looked up at him. "Hmm...I never thought of that 'ttebayo."
"Probably because you're so dense..." He muttered.
"What?" I asked.
"Nothing," He said. "What else?"
"Well, it felt...kinda like..." I paused for a bit, unsure of how to explain it. "...hot and...good?"
He raised his eyebrow at my choice of words. This guy..., he thought.
"And, for some reason, I've been feeling strangely familiar stuff in the events that had happened from then on," I said.
He sighed. "Well, what do you wanna do now?"
"Maybe find who kissed me?" I answered.
He nodded, then said, "Well I'm not included in this. See ya."
I sighed. "Typical teme."
He turned back to glare at me, but I was long gone.
I felt my phone buzz, so I went into the bathroom to check what was up.
Do y'all wanna go to the beach this Saturday? If so, be here at 11:00 a.m.
- Ino
How did she use her phone in the middle of class?, I thought, baffled.
I then grinned at the thought of the waves crashing onto the beach.
Sure, why not?
Hinata
I glanced at Naruto-kun and Sasuke-kun talking.
For some reason, they had a serious look in their eyes.
To see Sasuke-kun serious wasn't unusual, but Naruto-kun... it was out of the blue. (See what I did there? :P)
I entered my next class, and sat next to Sakura-chan.
"Hey, Hinata. You don't seem yourself." said Sakura-chan.
"H-Huh? No, I'm completely fine!" I said, trying to smile, but then I looked down.
"Hinata, look at me," she said.
I looked into her emerald-green eyes and then looked down.
"Hinata, I know something's up. What is it?" she asked, smiling.
I looked up slightly. "Sakura-chan...you promise not to tell anyone besides Ino-chan?"
"I promise," she answered.
I took a deep breath and looked down again.
"U-Uhm...so I...was...captured..." I said slowly.
Sakura-chan jerked her head in my direction in shock. "What!?"
"Ssshhh! Not so loud!" I said quietly.
"Sorry," she apologized sheepishly.
"Uh...so...around t-two weeks ago...I-I was h-handcuffed and...taken to this building...the o-one across the a-alley..." I said, pausing in between words.
"Okay," Sakura-chan said.
"...And...uh...I was b-blindfolded..." I continued.
"Why would you be blindfolded?" she asked, concern present in her voice.
"...Uhm...s-so that...I-I...c-couldn't know...who I...k-k-kissed..." I mumbled, my voice barely a whisper at the end of the sentence.
Sakura-chan jerked back a bit, her eyes so wide they could pop out any second. Her hands clasped her mouth to keep her from screaming in surprise and shock.
"You were...forced to k-kiss a stranger!?" she quietly exclaimed.
I nodded slowly, hoping that my hair would cover my face from the embarrassment and tears glistening in my eyes.
"H-Hey, it's okay..." said Sakura-chan, placing her hand on my shoulder.
"Th-Thanks..." I said, smiling at her. How grateful I am to have a friend like her, I thought.
"So, have you thought about who he could have been?" she asked.
I nodded. "Yes, a bit," I replied.
"How did the kiss feel?" said Sakura-chan, suddenly leaning in, curiosity sparkling in her eyes.
"If you're fine, of course."
"U-Uhm...it...he felt...a bit...s-soft and w-warm..." I whispered, looking down to shield my beet-red glowing face.
"Did it feel good?" she asked, leaning in a bit more.
"S-Sakura-chan!" I said in surprise. I then did the tiniest nod ever humanly possible.
I felt a smirk radiating off her face. I sighed a bit at her antics.
I then flinched as the bell rang.
"Already? Man, the day got over fast," said Sakura-chan. I nodded in agreement.
I gathered all my belongings and set out with Sakura-chan and Ino-chan.
As Sakura-chan told Ino-chan about what I told her, I thought about who could have kissed me.
Could he have been a highschooler?, I thought.
I thought that would have been a likely possibility. I don't know why.
"Bye Sakura, Hinata!" said Ino-chan, waving at us.
"Bye!" said Sakura-chan to Ino-chan and me.
I waved back, mouthing a "Goodbye," since they were too far to hear me.
I then looked down and thought about who it could have been again as I entered the Hyuga compound.
"Lost in your thoughts again, One-chan?" asked Hanabi-chan.
I looked at her and nodded.
She sighed and went back to nibbling on her snack.
I went up to my room and sat down on my bed, thoughts still swirling around in my head.
I eventually tired myself out from overthinking, and felt myself go to sleep until my phone buzzed.
Hinata! Are you going to the beach this Saturday?
- Ino
I was confused at what she meant, but then saw the message in the group chat.
Sure, I typed.
I smiled at the thought of having fun, and then dozed off into a deep sleep.
