"Hey, Karin what's the answer to the last question?" Sakura asks.

"It's either C or D. I think it's D," Karin answers.

"It's D," a new voice answers.

"Thanks Hinata," Sakura says.

"No problem," she smiles.

"When are we gonna start the project?" a blonde practically yells.

"In a few minutes, Naruto," Karin answers.

"I'll go get the stuff we need from downstairs," Sakura says.

"I'll help you," Hinata quietly adds.

They come back a few moments later. Their hands are piled with supplies.

Sakura places the supplies by a poster on the ground she the tells the others the project plan.

"Okay, so we'll place the graph here," Sakura points to a corner, "and some photos here," she moves her hand down. "and we'll place the—Hinata? Is something wrong?" She looks at Hinata with a worried expression.

Hinata doesn't seem to hear the question instead her eyes are darting back and forth between Sakura's room.

"Hinata?" Naruto asks.

No response.

Her eyes continue to dart around Sakura's room as if she's looking for something.

Hinata's ringing phone snaps her back go reality.

"Hello?" she answers. "Okay."

She turns back to her friends.

"Everything alright, Hinata?" Sakura asks.

"Y-Yeah I'm fine," she answers, "I-I have to go now I'm sorry."

"That's alright, but are you sure everything is fine," Sakura questions.

"Y-Yes," Hinata reassures making her way to the bedroom door.

Right before Hinata leaves her eyes zero in on something next to Sakura's desk. She opens the and leaves after saying, "goodbye," to her friends.

Sakura turns her head to where Hinata was staring and when she sees nothing she frowns.

Her friends leave about an hour later.

Here is my lie.
My dad doesn't abuse me.

@lostsouls
Hmm...

@lostsouls
Well...

@lostsouls
I guess that one will
make things sorta
interesting.

@lostsouls
Did your beating last night
leave any marks?

@CherrieBlossoms
How did you know
about the beating.

@lostsouls
Same way I know
everything else.

@lostsouls
And don't bother asking
how I know these things.
'Cause you aren't going to
get an answer.

@CherrieBlossoms
There were no marks.
