Bad Influence

Nothing Was Ever What You Thought

Madara eyed Hinata oddly, he wasn't sure why she had practically made him her live in man servant for the next two and a half weeks. He could tell there was something up, but it wasn't very obvious. She wasn't going to tell him yet, but he was going to find out what it was and he was going to make sure it was going to be her that explained it to him. He couldn't help the smile that crossed his lips as he watched her skip around her room with a grin on her face as she sang. She was getting ready for their last day of the college semester, brilliance in it's own right. He was getting sick of being in the same place every day with people he had never met.

"I had a dream so big and loud, I jumped so high I touched the clouds. I stretched my hands out to the sky. We danced with monsters through the night. I'm never gonna look back I'm never gonna give it up no! Please don't wake me now." She sang cheerfully skipping as she gathered her things. "This is gonna be the best day of my life." She sang happily and he chuckled. He walked in and sang with her. "I howled at the moon with my friends and then the sun came crashing in." he sang and she beamed at him as she skipped out her door. She was really excited and it made him excited to know she was excited. He followed her out, her bag in his arms.

She slid into the driver's seat of her impala and he placed her things in the back and he saw that mada bear was wrapped up all nice and cozy in the back. A smirk crossed his lips as he reached and brushed his fingers over the bear's ears. She carried the bear with her everywhere? That was interesting. He placed her things down and walked around to the front of her impala. "Are you gonna get in or stand out there all day?" she asked with a smile.

"I would much rather stay here." He sighed and she laughed lightly. "I know, but you registered for classes, albeit very late... but none the less the teachers wanted to send us all off with a friendly farewell. The majority of us have already completed the required classes and have to transfer to bigger, better schools for our other classes." She said and he nodded, he understood fully. He blinked and as an after thought, wondered if she was one of those who had to transfer as well... he shook his head and got in the car with her.

She smiled and continued to hum as she started her car. She pulled out of her driveway and headed down the road towards town, she turned off on another road that was so very familiar to her. She stopped at the four way intersection, as the light was red, and she smiled. "So, what are your plans, now that you have officially graduated from high school?" a familiar voice asked and she blinked. "What?" she asked, turning to face Madara, who's image flickered to show Neji sitting in the passenger seat beside her before flickering back to Madara.

"Your plans... you just graduated from high school Hinata... you have to have college plans of some sort." Neji's voice echoed from Madara's mouth, only for Madara's image to flicker to Neji's and stay. she blinked and rubbed her eyes. "I do have plans... I'm already in college..." she said with a furrow of the brows and Neji's image smiled slightly. "Good... I'm glad you have plans. Culinary arts I presume?" he asked and she frowned.

"Yes... Neji... you already know this..." she said and her words were slightly warbled to her own ears as the images around her flickered out of view only to reappear differently. The sun was low in the sky, symbolizing late afternoon, Neji was dressed in an expensive looking suit now, instead of the outfit Madara had been wearing. Her head was beginning to hurt as her own outfit flickered and she realized she was wearing her cap and gown from graduation.

The expensive purple material was smooth under her fingertips. The light turned green and she shifted her little blue bug out of neutral, she pulled forwards and a screeching of tires caught her ears. A chill flew down her spine and her eyes went wide as she turned her head to see a much larger vehicle speeding towards them, the vehicle appeared to smash on the brakes; but to no avail as a scream ripped from her throat and the truck smashed into the little blue bug.
