A new year



Everything was dark. So dark. He sobbed; scared. 

Everywhere else was dark when suddenly, there was a bright light. He tried to find the source of the light. It led to an angel. He stumbled towards it before he stopped for a moment and realized it was not an angel. It was a...girl? 

He couldn't see her because her back was turned to him. But she had black-ish hair and pale, beautiful skin. Before he could investigate, there was a screeching ring.

RRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGG!!!!

Sasuke woke up spluttering and cursing. He sat up in bed abruptly and slapped the stupid alarm clock. He sighed then. What day was it?

It was Monday. Just great. And on top of that, he remembered, it was his first day of junior year of high school today. He threw the blanket off himself and stepped on the floor, tripped on something and managed not to fall, cursing all the while.

If he were to introduce himself, he'd go something like this: Uchiha Sasuke was 17 years old, a straight A student and star basketball player. He had raven hair and onyx eyes along with a tall, proud posture and pale skin. He was handsome, obviously, adored by everyone.

Or more specifically adored by girls while admired by boys.

His older brother, Uchiha Itachi, was the CEO for the Uchiha Corp.; which was owned by their father, Fugaku Uchiha. Sasuke was also expected to work for Uchiha Corp. after graduation.

Starting his day, he put on his school uniform; a white polo shirt and red tie with black pants, after a shower; and grabbed his jacket and bag pack before walking out of his room for breakfast.

"Hello little brother."

Sasuke looked at the table to find his older brother smiling playfully at him. Sasuke did not smile back or greet him in response. He looked around, seeing no one in the kitchen. Of course, his parents were gone for a business trip so he was alone with Itachi.

He poured himself some cereal.

"You know, it would make a nice change if you smile for once. This is a new school year after all." Itachi reminded him.

"Wow....I never noticed." Sasuke said, sarcasm dripping from his words.

Itachi, only Lord knew why, found this very funny and chuckled. Sasuke rolled his eyes and started to eat breakfast. Yes, he loved his brother, but he did not need this right now.

His mind wandered to his dream. He shut his eyes, trying to shut it out. He'd been having creepy dreams again.

"Something wrong?" Itachi asked, by the look on Sasuke's face.

"It's nothing. I'll just go now." Sasuke said, getting up and grabbing his car keys.

"Don't you want to finish your breakfast? You might be unable to eat after today's events." Itachi smirked as if he knew something Sasuke didn't and it annoyed Sasuke. He stopped abruptly and faced his brother.

"What do you mean?"

"What do I mean? Oh...nothing."

Itachi smirked and Sasuke knew it was no use asking. He wondered if something was up.

"Have a great day!" Itachi cheered, just to annoy him as reached the door.

"I doubt it." Sasuke muttered under his breath, walking out the door. The weather looked stormy, as if it would rain hard later. Black clouds were already coming in the sky.

Sasuke pulled his dark blue convertible Mercedes from the garage and on to the road, while tossing his jacket and bag pack on the passenger seat. He played the radio for a good song, deciding on Overdose by Exo-K.

He drove his car on the road which led to Konoha High School, the most prestigious institute for sciences and Academics in Japan. It was a huge school with more courses offered for students than any other institution. Sasuke was a junior student in homeroom 8 along with his idiot-so-called-best friend Naruto Uzumaki.

It took about 20 minutes for Sasuke to reach the school's parking lot. 

Uzumaki Naruto, Sasuke thought wearily. The orange car, so bright it hurt Sasuke's eyes, could only be Naruto's. Sasuke turned off the car and got out with his things.

He decided not to pull on his jacket after all, because it had the name Sasuke Uchiha on the back, and Sasuke didn't want to attract more attention than he would get. The jacket was from Basketball, after all, and was bound to turn heads. He slung his bag pack over his shoulder along with the jacket and with the other hand in his pocket, walked into the school building.

Something told him he would hate this day.

Sasuke walked to his locker while the girls gave him admiring looks behind his back. He tried not to pay much attention, like always. He didn't want to ruin his day more.

"TEME!" yelled a loud voice behind him. Sasuke's eye brow twitched, which only happened when he was annoyed, as he recognized the voice as Naruto's.

"Could you be any louder Dobe?" he asked when Naruto had slung his arm across Sasuke's shoulder.

"Sure....but why?" Naruto asked, looking confused. Sasuke sighed and shook his head.

"Anyway! Are you excited? This is our third year here! Can you believe it?" Naruto continued on.

"No, I can't." Sasuke said. Indeed he couldn't. He couldn't believe it was only the junior year of hell, as he liked to call High School. Had it really only been 3 years in this hell? It had felt like forever...

"I'm hoping this is the year Sakura-Chan decides to go out with me!" Naruto said, excitedly, breaking Sasuke out of his thoughts. "She definitely looked at me when we met yesterday....I think we have a thing going on...."

Sasuke would laugh if he actually cared to listen. He just quickened his pace to his locker. The locker next to him was unoccupied. Despite all the girls begging for the locker, Principle Tsunade had refused to allot anyone that particular locker because of the fights that had broken out over it among girls.

Naruto's locker was 10 lockers down (Sasuke was thankful). He left to drop his books there and Sasuke opened his own locker. He put some of the books in there and decided to wait for Naruto to get back, otherwise he would have to listen to him rant 20 hours about how Sasuke hadn't waited for him.

"Ohayo Sasuke-Kun" came a voice.

Sasuke looked to his right. Sakura Haruno, one his only female friend since childhood, was standing there, blushing slightly. Her pink hair was slightly longer and her bangs were parted with a hair band. She wore the school uniform consisting of a white polo over a black skirt and socks.

"Ohayo." He said, shutting his eyes again, pretending he was alone.

"Junior year, huh? Can you belie.......?" she said, trying to start a conversation.

The rest of Sakura's sentence was drowned out by Naruto arriving and yelling "OHAYO SAKURA-CHAN!" earning him a punch from her when students stared at the three.

Sometimes, Sasuke wondered why he even hung out with these guys. He started walking towards homeroom. Naruto and Sakura were driving him crazy already with their stupid bickering.

He opened the door and saw a number of familiar students in the room, from his fresh man year here. Among the familiar faces were Ino the pretty blonde, Shikamaru the lazy genius, Choji the fatso (although he never dared to call him that), Shino the unnervingly quiet kid, Kiba the dog boy and Gaara with the deadly glare. They were all his friends though.

He walked up to a vacant desk and sat down. A lot of girls surrounded him and tried to sit next to him, making Naruto frown. "Seat's taken." Sasuke said, placing his bag on the other seat.

The girls protested and some produced tears. Sakura sighed and sensing it was no use, went to sit next to Ino, and started bickering almost at once.

"Is that pervert still our homeroom sensei?" Sasuke asked Naruto, who sat in front of him with a sleeping Shikamaru.

"Yeah." Naruto replied, looking at Sakura. Sasuke sighed and tried to ignore the multiple girls staring at him. The bell rang, indicating the start of school.

Kakashi, as usual was late. Sasuke looked at his watch and noted that he was a good 15 minutes late. "Good morning everyone." He said.

"Good Morning sensei." Everyone chanted.

"You're late." Naruto said, accusingly.

"I got late while helping an old lady cross the road." Kakashi said in a monotone. Everyone scoffed. As if they would believe him.

"Welcome to your third year in Konoha High and blah blah.....so there's this new...girl in our homeroom, please welcome her and whatever." Kakashi said and as if on cue someone entered the class room.

The first thing Sasuke noticed about the girl was her lavender eyes. She had long mid-night blue hair, flowing to her waist; opal lavender eyes and a pale skin. She had a beautiful smile. She had a body with curves, although Sasuke tried not to notice that.

Everyone was silent before the boys broke into a fit of whistling and smiling goofily. Everyone was looking at her but her eyes found Sasuke's.

Sasuke felt like he had seen her somewhere. Of course, he had encountered Hyugas before, so the eyes were familiar.

But her eyes were a little different than the usual Hyuga eyes, different from Hiashi Hyuga's eyes for instance, who was a business partner of his father. Her eyes were soft. Soothing. 

Wait. What the hell was he thinking? Sasuke broke the eye contact and looked at their sensei.

"Can you introduce yourself?" Kakashi asked.

Hinata nodded.

"I am Hinata Hyuga..."

Author's Note: Yes, i do not own Naruto. If i did, SasuHina would have so much more moments and development. 

So the story is Modern AU, you probably guessed as much, and Sasuke and the rest are in their junior year at school. i planned it to be the sophomore year but whatever. Please excuse any mistakes there were because i still do not have an editor. I'll update soon.
