Hi, my name's Tenten, but in school, I'm more popular with the name, Hyuuga Neji's best friend. I was never really popular, until the stories spread that I am, in fact, the best friend of Neji. Sometimes it ticked me off. Why? Because people kept asking me questions about my 'best friend'.

Some people don't even know my name and instead they call me, "Neji's best friend." How idiotic was that?!

However, there was a big problem I have to cope with.

My best friend just had to be… the person I like. Typical cliché, right? No! Because all of the people in this school think that, I'm a tomboy. They are so wrong! I'm just boyish, and if I'm really that, I wouldn't even fall for this best friend of mine.

Neji was pretty amusing really.

Anyway, on to our story. This all started when I made a deal with the evil duo, Haruno Sakura and Yamanaka Ino.

I was just collecting stuff from my locker when Sakura and Ino neared me. "Hey, Tenten!" Sakura greeted me with that usual smile on her face. Before I can even greet back, Ino shoved something in front of my face.

"We'll make a deal with you, Tenten. Or else," Ino threatened. I, on the other hand, wasn't really affected by this intimidation. Until…

I gasped as I realized what the thing Ino wanted to show to me. Those were photos. Oh, they weren't just photos! They were actually me, blushing behind Neji's back. Oh the trepidation! How can I let somebody witness this embarrassing experience with an evidence in hand?

"What do you want?" I growled at them.

"Oh no biggie, you just have to change your wardrobe for just one, whole day."

The vein on my forehead twitched violently. I wanted to punch so badly that… Argh! The people who never thought of murder seriously haven't met these two.

"Chill, Tenten. I'm sure you're best friend would love that new look, ne?"

"Like hell I will!" I answered and turned my back against the two. "I can easily tell everyone that those can be edited scraps that what a computer genius, like Sakura, can do." I paused and a smirk crossed my face. "In short, you failed to blackmail me." Hah! Victory!

Alas…

"Oy, don't you want to see Neji-kun's reaction about it?"

I stood as I felt my whole body freeze. Everything seemed to be stuck in one position and I could only think of the possibilities that may ensue. It was either, Neji'll like it, or Neji'll lose all the respect I earned.

So, by this time, my case was 50-50. But hey… I'm a risk taker.

I turned back to them with a grin, "now that's a different story."

I just hope everything would turn out fine.

"Sorry, Tenten-san." Sakura bowed slightly as I stood on this ugly, pink bedroom. Her tone seemed like I just blew it and I knew I'll regret it. The next thing I knew was, Ino hauled me and she tied me up on a chair. I was too confused to react and all I can do was blink simultaneously.

Then…

"What the hell! Are you two insane? Get me outta here." I demanded, but they seem to ignore me deliberately.

"This is for your own good, Tenten."

o0o0o0o

I heaved a loud sigh and afterwards, swallowed hard as I took hold of the handle from the doors. I gathered up my courage and pushed the door open! Once I made my entrance, everybody stared at me as if I was naked or something. The whole crowd split into two while I walked along.

I felt all eyes stick to me. But I didn't actually care what they think, for now, I was looking for my best friend.

Finally, I saw him. He was the only person who wasn't looking at me, and instead staring at his cellular phone. I smiled and neared him, eventually.

"Hi, Neji." I spoke with a lesser deep voice, which I got used to because of the whole four hours of torment with Sakura and Ino. "Sorry. I'm kinda busy right now. I'm looking for Heaven." He replied, not even facing me.

I grinned. Neji always called me Heaven in private.

I decided to play.

"Who's Heaven?"

Neji scowled as he pressed buttons on his cell. Afterwards, he responded to me. "I meant, Tenten. Sorry, but could this wait?" He started to walk away. Aw, he didn't even pay attention to me! Of all the miserable luck. God damn it, I made it through the evil duo's wrath!

Maybe I should change anyway. Drat it! Drat it all! This incredibly short skirt, this unbelievably small shirt, these effing high heels, these huge ring earrings, this shiny diamond necklace, and the worst, the hair with no hair ties!

Abruptly, Hinata approached me. "Um, m-may I know who you a-are?"

What the hell?

"You don't know me?"

She bowed slightly. "I-I'm sorry. But I really d-don't know. A-Are you an exchange student?"

I grinned insolently as an idea crept into my mind. "Hey, why don't you ask the other students my name? Why ask me personally?"

Hinata appeared to be confused. "I-I tried but no one k-knows your identity. W-why? S-Should we h-have known it?"

Oh yeah, time to play.

"I'm Heaven."

"H-Heaven?" Hinata repeated, a shocked expression on her face. Then, she smiled at me mysteriously. "Y-You're N-Neji-san's friend, correct?"

"Yes."

"S-so there's a possibility y-you know Tenten-chan, correct?" She asked.

Okay, so everybody haven't noticed that I'm actually Tenten. Pathetic human beings. But hey, might as well have fun while I'm at this. "Yes, I know her."

Hinata sighed and suddenly, she exclaimed, "s-so, have you also n-noticed Tenten-chan's affection towards N-Neji-san?"

I widened my eyes. But I quickly regained my composure. "Nope. I don't think she thinks of Neji as more than a friend!" That should take care of the rumors.

"Um, H-Heaven it is, you say?" Hinata started, in reply, I nodded. She continued her statement. "You k-know one time, I-I asked Neji-san about whom he liked and…"

Hinata whispered to me cautiously.

"He said he likes someone with the name, Heaven."

A/n: Yes! Yes! I did it! I finally got it done.

I think it's kind of confusing. But please, bear with me.
