Naive

Chapter one - Mismatched

[Hinata's POV]

Suddenly, two piercing blue eyes turn to look at me. They examine me, from top to bottom and side-to-side, then a bright smile appears on his sun-kissed face. I feel so small when he gives me this kind and sweet smile. I'm not so sure how to accept it, so I try my best to return it, although I'm aure I only look ridiculous. My smiles always look awkward and forced.

I can feel myself tense up.

"Oh! Hey there! Are you my dorm mate?" He questioned in a friendly tone. I awkwardly clear my throat to speak- when stops me. "I'm Naruto Uzumaki! Nice to meet you! Obviously you are my roommate, that's why you're in here!" He almost yells out loud. His voice resonates like a wave, and my goodness, I'm almost certain that the people outside can hear him.

I slightly squint, forcing another smile. He's a loud one, isn't he?

"H-hello...my n-name is Hinata H-Hyuga" I greet in a whisper. He raises a single gold eyebrow in confusion, then smiles again. "Sorry, am I too loud? My friends tell me I'm too loud all the time, I didn't mean to scare you..." He awkwardly places a hand behind his head and apologetically.

"N-no...I'm just to q-" he loudly interrupted me again before I get the chance ro finish, and I can feel a headache coming along. "I'm heading to my friend's dorm," he hands me a small sticky note with a phone number, "here, feel free to call me if you need anything!" giving a final bright smile, he exits the dorm room.

Silence.

I throw myself on the bottom bunk bed and sigh loudly, fantastic - I wonder if his friends tell him he talks too much too, because someone has to. I can't stop imagining his crystalline eyes, and his talkative smile. There wasn't even a moment to pause and thing in that conversation. I giggled thinking of how clueless he acts, and I've only just met him. This can't turn out well.

After a long two hours of organizing my desk and unpacking all my things, I hear the door open.

"Oh, y-your back" I awkwardly say as I turn to face the sunny boy. I can feel my hands begin to sweat with nerves at socializing with anyone. I'm honestly so pathetic. Why is it so difficult to hold a normal conversation with me?

He chuckles a before answering, "yeah, wanna go out for a drink or something?" He asks awkwardly. My eyes widen a bit in shock. Nobody ever invites me out, and if they do, I usually decline because I'm too afraid of spending time alone with people.

Is he asking me out?

"N-no! Not like an alcoholic drink or anything, like a coffee or something?" He stated. I lightly giggle at his remark, did he think I thought he was gonna get me drunk or something? How silly. I can't imagine Naruto getting drunk at all.

"Yeah s-sure" I answered happily. He made me feel warm inside, and I had to start getting over my fears somehow, so why not now? Plus, he'll probably end up doing most of the talking anyways.

Maybe a boy can like-like me after all...

We quietly sipped our chocolate mochas from Starbucks. The line was considerably short today, so we didn't wait too long. The entire time I could feel my heart beating quickly inside my chest. Our fingers had lightly grazed when he handed me my drink, and I can still feel the blush on my cheeks now. He would sometimes look towards me, then quickly look away, almost like he's nervous about something, which only made me more nervous.
