Chapter 1 - chapter 1

A/N: ok, so here’s the sequel to my story Konoha High! Before you read this, I would suggest reading Konoha High, so that you understand some of what’s going on in the story. I want to thank everyone who reviewed my story Konoha High, because without you guys I wouldn’t be writing a sequel! ^-^

Disclaimer: I don’t own Naruto!

Sakura sat on her bed with her knees pulled up to her chest, her chin resting on top of them. She looked around at her friends, who were discussing the upcoming homecoming. It was only two weeks away, and the girls couldn’t wait.

“Well, Hinata already has her date, but what about the rest of us?” Ino asked, looking at Sakura and TenTen.

“Well, I don’t know, I’ve gotten some notes shoved in my locker from different boys asking me to go with them, but I really don’t want to go with someone who can’t even ask me to my face.” Sakura said as she reached her hand up to tuck a strand of hair behind her ear.

“Aka, you wanna go with Sasuke.” Ino said.

“Well…” Sakura started. “I’m not sure, I mean, I have no clue what he thinks of me anymore. After reading his ‘thoughts’ I don’t know if he likes me at all or not.”

“You mean ever since you read his diary, and found the unfinished thought about you, you can’t help but think he thinks the worst about you?” Ino asked.

“Sasuke does not have a diary!” Sakura screeched at Ino.

“Ino, stop trying to make Sakura mad. Sakura, cool it, ok?” TenTen directed her two friends.

“Sakura, maybe you should just ask him about it. I mean, this has been bugging you for weeks!” Hinata said.

“I don’t know, I just don’t want him to get mad at me. I mean, am I just supposed to go up to him and say, ‘Sasuke, I read your innermost thoughts about me that you had typed up on your computer, but it wasn’t complete when I read it. Would you mind telling me what you were going to say?’ I just don’t think that would go over too well.” Sakura said with a sigh.

“Yea, I think you’re right.” TenTen said.

“Well, I don’t know what to tell you, Sakura. All I know is let’s agree that we’ll stick together at the dance, friend’s or no friends?” Ino asked.

“Agreed.” Sakura, TenTen and Hinata said at the same time.

“I’m sure Naruto won’t mind us hanging out with you guys.” Hinata said.

“Well, maybe you shouldn’t worry about that yet, Hinata. That Kiba kid has seemed like he’s trying his best to get you to change your mind about your date.” Sakura pointed out. It was true. Within the past two weeks, Kiba had sent Hinata flowers, left her notes in her locker, tried to join them at lunch, and a number of other things. All of it was to try and get Hinata to change her mind.

“I don’t get it, I’ve tried telling him that I just want to go with Naruto, but he won’t listen to me.” Hinata said, tracing patterns with her fingers in the carpet.

“Maybe you should try to show him?” Ino suggested.

“And how do you suggest she does that?” TenTen asked her friend.

“Well, hanging out with Naruto when you know that Kiba will be around, and maybe flirting with him in front of Kiba?” Ino suggested.

Hinata blushed as she said, “I don’t know, that would really hard for me.”

“Yea, we know, Hinata.” Ino said. “But you already know that Naruto likes you. I mean, the guy is totally crazy about you! So why not try and show some affection back? I mean, he’s never going to be your boyfriend if you don’t show him you like him, too!”

“Ino’s kind of right, Hinata.” Sakura said. “Even though I hate to admit it. Maybe you should try flirting with him just a little bit more?”

“I guess I’ll try.” Hinata said in defeat.

Ino now turned her attentions top TenTen. “Ok, so what’s the deal with you and Neji?”

“Nothing, we’re just friends!” TenTen exclaimed. Ino had every right to want to know, however. TenTen and Neji had been hanging out together a lot lately. They would go and shoot hoops together after school, and hang out at each others houses. Basically at Neji’s house so TenTen’s mother wouldn’t bug them.

“Well, what do you guys do at Neji’s house, anyways?” Ino pressed further.

“We play video games a lot.” TenTen replied. “And when we do go to my house we go for hikes in the woods. He, unlike some people, likes to go into the woods.” TenTen shot looks at Sakura and Ino during the last sentence.

“Hey, don’t look at me!” Hinata said holding her hands up in a surrendering position. “I go in the woods with you!”

“Oh, I know, Hinata. I guess that was aimed more for Ino and Sakura.” TenTen said.

“Come on, TenTen, there’s wild animals out there!” Ino exclaimed.

“You mean squirrels and deer? Yea, they’re a real threat to you, Ino.” TenTen said sarcastically.

“It’s kind of dirty, and well, I get all sweaty when I go in the woods.” Sakura said, crinkling up her nose.

TenTen just sighed in response to this. “It’s ok, I love you guys anyways. It’s just, Neji understand why I go there and stuff.”

“So have you taken him to your spot?” Hinata asked.

“You mean the old fort? No, not yet.” TenTen replied. The only ones who had ever been there were Hinata, Ino and Sakura. Basically Hinata.

“Good, ‘cause that would mean things are getting serious between you two.” Ino said.

“I told you, Ino, we’re just friends!” TenTen exclaimed as she launched a pillow at Ino’s head. Ino let out a shriek as she dodged the pillow. She crawled over to where it landed and threw it back at TenTen. TenTen ducked, and it hit Hinata in the head. Hinata picked it up to throw it back at Ino, who had crossed the room and was about to duck under Sakura’s covers. The pillow missed and hit Sakura.

Sakura’s eyes gleamed as she picked up another pillow off of her bed and exclaimed, “Pillow Fight!”
