"N-Neji...."My blush darkened the more he talked.

"ah, come on neji, leave her alone."

"Why? She does. It's pretty easy to see." Neji sniffs with athority.

"shut up neji!! and leave her alone!! got it ?"

"S-Shikamaru...."

"hinata, you need to stand up to him. don't let him treat you like that."

I come in the hotsprings and sit down. "Hello...."

"oh hey itachi!''

"Hey"

i lean back to look at the clouds wishing neji would leave. but when i look back hes still there "what a drag."

I just look at the wall across from me, really praying hard that Neji would get a call from her father that would make him leave. Course she knew that wouldn't happen because her father was sleeping.
"So..."

"yeah?"

I shrug my shoulders and splash water into my face.

i take down my pony tail and dip my head underwater for a few seconds.

"Why don't you wear your hair down all the time Shikamaru?"
