Hinata's POV
*BEEP BEEP*
I heard my alarm clock go off, so I got up and checked the time. It was 10:15 am, so I turned it off and started getting ready.
If you were wondering why I was getting ready, I'm going to have an extra-long shift at Starbucks today. Usually I take the 11 am-4 pm shift with my co-worker Fumiko, a 25-year-old college senior, but today I'm also taking the 4-9 pm shift because my friend Rashad, a college transfer student from America, asked me to cover his shift because he had an "emergency". I agreed with him, because I owed him one. He covered my shift yesterday because, for some unknown reason, my father thought it was a good idea to reschedule our clan meeting a day early without any prior notice.
After I finished getting ready, I checked the time. It was 10:45 now, so I started walking to the store since it was only a couple blocks away and it'd be a waste to take the bus.
As I got in from the employee's entrance, I was greeted by a hug from Fumiko. "Hi Hinata!! How are you doing!!?" Boy, she can be a handful sometimes. But she was there to help me around with making drinks until I became "better than her", in her opinion. She also helped me with moving, she's a huge One Direction and BTS fan, and she loves cats.
"H-hi, Fumiko. I'm fine. How are y-you doing?" I didn't have as much of a stutter as with a certain blonde-haired kid, but it was still there occasionally.
"I'm great, Hinata. I'm just excited that we're gonna get another 1D album!!!" She was squealing in delight at the sound of that. She started squealing once again when "Drag Me Down" started playing on the radio while I put my uniform on and tied up my hair in a bun, then we got ready to take over for the guys on the last shift.
After a couple hours of serving, when there wasn't any customers, Fumiko took the opportunity to talk. "So, how's your first week of school going?" She knows about me being homeschooled up until now
"Well, it's been going alright. There was a g-guy that has been really n-nice to me, and most of the people haven't been mean," I replied, blushing a bit when talking about Naruto-kun.
"Say, you got a crush on anyone yet?"
I started blushing again, because I was thinking about Naruto-kun again. I decided to answer her honestly. "Y-yeah, I d-do. He's b-been r-really nice t-to me, and h-he's r-really good-looking."
"You got proof, sis?" I pulled up an embarrassing picture of me and Naruto talking to each other that was only taken because Sasuke had been spying on us. (A/N: The picture is down below. And btw it's fan art, not mine)

"Oh damn Hinata, you're right, he is pretty good-looking. I can see why you started crushing on him." She raised an eyebrow. "What's his name?"
"H-his n-name is N-naruto-kun." I only managed to stutter and my cheeks started heating up again when I was talking about him again. "Naruto huh?" She raised an eyebrow at that.
Then a customer came in, stopping our conversation. And I forgot about him for a while.
A little while later
Naruto's POV
I checked the time on my watch after playing some 2k. It was 2:30, so I started getting ready to get to my shift at Starbucks. Oh, I forgot to tell you yesterday that I got hired there, y'know?. It started out kinda strange, because I thought I saw Hinata in there, and that made my cheeks go red and I felt my heart skipping beats. But the guys there, a American transfer student named Rashad, who was an African-American college transfer student with a shaved head and stood about 5'10", and a small brunette named Fumiko, were really nice to me. They taught me how to man the cash register and how to make the drinks and stuff. They were also pretty cool people, y'know? Rashad was a sneakerhead who came here from Portland and he loved the Trail Blazers as well as Travis Scott. Fumiko was a huge fan of the boy bands One Direction and BTS, and she also has a huge, almost unhealthy obsession with cats. Heh, imagine if she meets Kiba. She also has a little sister named Tamaki, who actually is our age and goes to our school. Unfortunately, Rashad won't be able to be here today because of something he has to do for school, and Fumiko's shift will end as my shift will start. They didn't tell me who I would be with, so I guess it's a mystery.
After I finished getting ready, I put on some clothes and left to walk to Starbucks since it was only a couple of blocks away, y'know? I checked my watch. It was 3:55, so I opened the employee's entrance. When I walked in, I saw two girls talking to each other with their backs turned to me, one brunette and one with lavender blue hair, both in buns. I instantly recognized Fumiko, and the lavender hair looked kinda familiar, but I couldn't put my finger on where I saw it. Fumiko turned around, so I smiled and waved at her. But when the lavender-haired girl turned around, I froze. I felt my heart skipping beats and face going red once again.
