Chapter Eight
Saturday, a day for club activities and other extra curricular activities.
I walk my way out of the dorms and into the dance club office deep inside the college building. Wearing my favorite sweat pants and black halter back sando toped with a grey hoodie, I stride on the open ground and enjoy the cold morning breeze kissing my cheeks.
I could see everyone walking the same path as me, also making their way to their respective club activities. Everyone seems enjoying the nearing winter holiday feeling surrounding the whole campus. Some guys are starting to put up winter related displays around the windows and lamp post, and some are putting up different colored lights on the trees.
As I enjoy my small sight seeing on the lively decors around the school, someone catch my attention not far from where I am now. He walk a few steps in front of me, with the other two floor mates who's in the same club like us. I brisk my walk so that I can catch up to them. Clossing my distance, they all turn towards me as they hear my footsteps.
"Hi Guys!" I greet the three of them, waving my hand as I stop my small run in front of them. The two girls jump to give me small hugs.
"Good morning, Hinata! Ready for the first day off club activity?" Ino said, shaking her hands excitedly in front of me. "Hold it right there, Ino. Don't sound like this club is all about candys and rainbow." Temari joked. We all chuckled on her remark, but I stop as I land my eyes on the person behind them.
"Good morning, Naruto." I shyly greeted him. Caught by surprise, he stiffen a little when I flash him my warmest smile. The other girls noticed Naruto's awkward silence and slap both his arms, making him flinch and snap out.
"Ouch! What?!" He instantly squeal, making the abusive girls laugh. "What's the matter, boy? You are joking and loud before Hinata came. Now you are quiet like dead." Ino said, poking his chest, teasing him.
Naruto's eyes lay back on mine, making me gasp a bit air. His expression are a mix of confused and hurt, but it disappear as he buries them with a handsome smile. "I'm sorry, Hinata. I'm just not well since, you know.. last night." He said, pointing out the event between the three of us. I nod, even I don't understand why his words make me feel like I've done something wrong.
We all walk towards our club room with Ino and Temari's non stop chatting. I caught Naruto steal some glances on my side, but remove it before I could confront him. It looks like He's avoiding a conversation with me. I sigh, feeling guilty for something I don't know, but still keeping my cool since I don't wat to ruin my day.
We put our bags in a spare chair placed across the dance room. A lot of member are already stretching, warming up for a whole day of dancing. Ino and Temari remove their hoodies and immediately took a place in fron of the wall-sized mirror then starts to warm up their body as well. Traces of years of hard work draws all over their body, making some guys turn their heads towards our gorgeous friends.
Fired up, Naruto also remove his sweat shirt and throw it above his bag, showcasing his well toned physique only covered with white sando. This is the first time I saw him not wearing something to cover his biceps, and I can say it's not worth hiding. His muscles are worth flaunting, proven by the other female members look at him with such malicious eyes.
I sit down on the floor as I watch Naruto's back while he also start to warming up. It surprisingly make me want to look only him, never imagined that the playful, joker Naruto I know possess such a gorgeous sculpted body.
After five minutes had passed, a white haired guy entered the practice room and every senior club member rise from what they're doing. They told all new members to line up in front of the said guy. We all do as what we're told, making all the old member line up into our back. Naruto stand on my right, lite sweats drop from his neck down his neck, His sweet sent makes me flush.
"Good morning everyone. I am the Dance club's advisor. I am Kakashi Hatake, and I hope we all go well again this year!" Mr. Kakashi started, then we all clap to fire up the morning.
"So, I expect every newbie knows the thing we'll be doing in the first day of practice? Am I right?" Mr. Kakashi continued. All the new members, including me and Naruto flashed a confused look to each other. I could tell that all of us didn't know what our advisor is talking about.
We heard some giggles and chatting from the old members lined on our backs, sending me signals that something we don't wanna know will be happening to us later.
"I see, this old members didn't tell you anything, eh?" Mr. Kakashi teased, making all of us more tensed. I look up to Naruto and he turn his eyes to me as well. Nervousness and confusion drawn all over our face.
What is the senior members and Mr. Kakashi planned to do to us? Oh, my.
