I never believed in fairytales until I entered Konoha High, it was there where I experience a series of events, and transformations.

METAMORPHSIS

Chapter 1 – Preparation

I winced again as the car went over another speed bump without even hesitating to slow down.

"Dad, you really should be considering about driving within the range of speed given on the road," I commented as we zoomed pass a 60km/h sign.

"Tenten, I am driving within a reasonable speed limit." He replied without taking his eyes off the road.

I rolled my eyes immediately when I saw the needle of the speed meter raced pass 85km/h and hurried toward the 90s.

"Then your definition of reasonable must be completely off from mine," I snickered, while pushing back a leg of a table that looked like it could fly through the wind shield anytime.

My dad chuckled back, and then neither of us spoke for the rest of the bumpy and hustled ride with the backseat of various furniture and house wares.

Through out my childhood, my parents and I had been extremely close together, but once I reached my teen years, everything made a 180 degree turn, not to mention that my mom now works in a completely different country – the Village Hidden in the Sand of the Wind Country. My dad and I had been living together ever since I was ten, so naturally we had a strong relationship. But living together not only strengthened our bonds, it also made me independent and good at various house chores.

It took us exactly two weeks to unpack the stuff we have brought from numerous stuffy car rides. We have just moved from an apartment to this fairly small townhouse, even though I'm quite content with what I have. My eyes would flare green uncontrollably whenever they see the magnificent houses surrounding ours. But, these are nothing when compared with the castle-like mansions I witnessed when dad had made a wrong-turn. I became even more self-conscious when I was told that the school I'll be attending will include the kids living in those houses.

The noise from the dryer finally woke me up from the haziness mood I was in. During summer, I usually slept till 11 in the morning, fine, noon and skipped lunch, and this practiced ritual hadn't really helped in shaping me into a morning person. I examined the bags under my eyes one last time, sighed; these were from the extreme lack of last night's sleep. Well, hitting the sack at 2 in the morning everyday was the result of insomnia when I laid on my bed around ten last night, and flipping back and forth didn't help either. So in total, I got around roughly 5 hours of sleep by waking up at 7:30. I wore a mid-sleeve and collared black and white striped shirt along with tight jeans, and of course, paired with the best shoes in the world – Converse! I gave my hair a puffy and messy look instead of my usual buns, but somehow this strange combination of clothe seems to match my tired self, making me look somewhat on the emo side. Being satisfied with myself, I exited the house.

After being transported to school by the blinding yellow school bus, I realized that fitting in is going to be a difficult task for me.
