A/N: Hello readers. I have now figured out how to do an Author's Note. Go me! Thank you so much all of you who has reviewed, put as favorite or on alert!! You can't imagine how happy you made me. Although I can't understand you considering how crappy the first version of this chapter was (according to me). I just put it up because I had promised a friend of mine to start on my story by the end of last week.
Special Thanks (and cookies) to: Suki Secret, mmm.waffles, FreeBird45, Princess of Storms and SomeRandomThing
Morning. The sun is shining in through my window and I can hear birdsong. I yawn and turn in my bed wrapping the covers closer around me. Summer break is the nicest thing in the whole world. This feels so good, I can stay here for the rest of the day…
Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep!
I jump. Damn it. Why have I set the alarm today? I hesitatingly stretch out my arm to turn it off when it hits me: First Day of High School. Instead of just pushing the button I throw my alarm clock out the window (for some lucky reason it is open) and leap into my bathroom and then downstairs into the kitchen with my uniform on and my brown hair up in two buns.
I find my sister sitting at the table reading Konoha Daily. She glances at her watch.
"New record Tenten, 2.24. Here." She throws me a banana without even looking at me.
"You have exactly 2 minutes and 26 seconds to get to school."
"What? I thought I had set it 10 minutes before?" I gasp. Usually I set the alarm 10 minutes before i start school. I don't use much time in the morning, and if I walk fast it only takes me six minutes to get to School. Besides, I don't care that much of what the teachers think.
"Well, since its your first day I thought we should celebrate it with a challenge, so I re-set your alarm to five minutes before... And I do hope that you are aware of that Konoha High School is twenty minutes away by bike, and that you have a flat tire." She takes a sip of her coffee.
"Can…" I started.
"No you may not use my bike. Good luck."
I don't bother wasting anymore time. I just run. She will feel my wrath later. After all, they say revenge is a dish best served cold.
Nami sniggers as her little sister runs out the door. Perhaps it was a bit mean of her. But now Tenten won't be late as always. And she is pretty tired of the calls from the principal. Even Tenten can't be late for school if she runs from the house an hour before it starts.
It is nice weather today, I notice as I try to take a bite of my banana while running. That is good. After all, it is better running for your life when the sky is blue and a cool wind is blowing. At least it is nice until you run into somebody. Hard. Considering I am going at full speed it is a miracle he doesn't fall over with the same elegance as I do: head 5 inches buried in the ground, ass in the air and my banana probably halfway to Sunagakure. With a 'plop' my head comes out.
"Ouch." I rub my back with my hand looking around for the the hindrance that was going to get a piece of my mind. Oh yes, he would wish he had never been born. Nobody gets away with taking Tenten to the ground, nobody…
"What in the world do you think you're doing? Are you blind or something?" a cold voice sounds from somewhere above me.
Voice location. Target confirmed. There! Oh shit.
Looking down on me is a hot guy. And I mean hot as in so HOT that if you touch them you get third degrees burn damages. Which would be pretty unlikely for this guy since he has pale skin which looks as cold as snow. His long hair reaches past his shoulders, the same coulor as melted chocolate and his eyes are pearly white with a hint of purple in them. The sleeves of his white shirt are rolled up revealing quite muscular forearms. Like chocolate and snow goes fusion equals total boyfriend material.
Why god, why did you have to choose today of all days to make my ass a public view? I can feel myself starting to drowl. Not good. Now would be a good time to give him a sharp retort revealing that I not only have striking looks but intelligence as well. Obey me mouth. Please! Must. Say. Something.
"Ehh… Cupcake." Great.
Why did that have to plop out of my mouth now? I am going to kill Nami. When I was smaller she used to bake chocolate cupcakes which tasted like heaven. I would do anything for one. So one day she decided that it would be nice to mess with my mind a bit. She told me that unless I only said 'cupcake' and nothing else for a whole week she would never bake anything ever again. It took me a whole month before I could do it, and then it took me two months to be able to talk normally again. It still haunts me when I'm in tight situations.
Choco stares at me. Yes, he has a nickname, so what? I mean I think I have that right since I just head-butted him.
"Does that mean ' I'm so sorry sir it was all my fault. Please forgive me' in your language, panda?"(1) he asks raising one eyebrow contemptuous.
Oh no, he did not call me panda. Now he was going down.
"Ehh… Yes." What?! Was that my voice? That was not what I was going to say. Has the brain-mouth connection broken down or what is happening to me?
"Good." He turns around and walks on as if nothing has happened. Jerk. Where did I look when I thought he was handsome? Not at those lean and muscular arms, or how the wind catches his smooth hair, or… Stop. Snap out of it Tenten. I must be dissy from the fall or something. Yes that must be it. He didn't even ask if I was ok, or give me a hand up. I'm glad I'm not gonna see him again.
A/N:
Also I am very unsure of the title. It may change if I can't take it. Suggestions of title is welcome.
