Title: Class A
Chapter One: Hello My name Is
Dear_,
You have just been accepted to Kohona High, where excellence is achieved every day. Here at KonohaHigh, You will learn the workings of an everyday Business woman, or Financial Business man. It is such a privilege, and honor to have you in our facilities, see you soon, and Welcome.
From your friends of Konoha High School.
"Tenten-chan, our reports are nowhere near complete, and there due today!"
"-How are we supposed to turn them in?" A smile spreads across my face. "Don't worry. I'll just simply tell the teacher, to extend the deadline, till the end of this week. Relax."
"Oh, Thank you Tenten-chan!" the two girls said in unison, and stalked off back down the hallway.
"Oh, Tenten-sama can you check these? These are the papers from last week!"
"Of course I can, I'll give them back to you by one, how does that sound?"
"Anytime is good, as long as you do it Tenten." said boy smiled friendly.
I'm always busy, here at school. Being number two has its' price. You are always asked for favors, because you're their favorite. I have been here since grade 9, and I already have been in all of our clubs at least twice. By the way, our school has 68 clubs. Ha! Oh Yeah, Introductions are everything! I'm Tenten, and student in Class A. There are 8 of us, and basically the only thing in class A that you do, is nothing. You get special privileges, as long as you remain the highest in the school. Sounds fair and easy right? NO! WRONG! I have been stinking number two for the past two years! I am determined to get number one, And REMAIN IN THAT PLACE UNTIL THE DAY I DIE!
"-Ah, someone forgot to take their pills again this morning." A husky voice said from behind me. I whipped my head around, and glared at the figure behind me. Hmpf. My eyebrow twitched.
"Shut your yap Hyuga." I turn my head back around and continue walking down the empty hallway.
I really need to stop talking my thoughts out loud, dear Kami, it's really not healthy.
" I'm just trying to be a kind person, besides. Wouldn't want you flunking a test number two."
He stated following behind me. I could hear the smirk plastered on his face. I gritted my teeth together then grinded them in anger. Mind you, I still have my arms full with papers. Great Chinese rice balls, OH HOW I HATE TO BE CALLED NUMBER TWO!-
"-Great Chinese Rice balls? What?"
"SHUT UP HYUGA!"
"Okay, okay, no need to take your anger out on me Godzilla, geez, chill out." he walked around me as I stood feet planted into the ground, still frozen from him calling me number two. He rolled his eyes, and kept his head up in the air, hands stuffed in khaki pockets. His long, dark, pitch black hair, shined in the lighting of our hallway. It was pulled back, and tucked behind his ears into a ponytail. His tips reached just 3/4ths of his back. His shirts were never wrinkled, for the white, long sleeved collared shirt, contrasted well with his navy blue t-shirt underneath. And a tie hung slightly loose around his shirt collar. It was a simple navy blue, and gold stripped tie; nothing special.
"Hyuga, Hyuga, wait up! We need your signature on something!"
I stared as two girls, ran passed me, and went straight up to the Hyuga himself. He turned around, only to be greeted by two freshmen, high school girls. Oh, how I would love to stuff a pair of socks down their throats, KAMI!
He simply gave them one of his popular broad smiles, and took the pen, still keeping one in his pocket. The girls coo-ed and gazed.
"Oh Neji, I'm so glad you're our school's president!"
"Yeah, you're so smart, and so funny!"
"You're the best Neji!"
Neji just smiled again showing off his pure white teeth, and handing the pen back to the girls. They giggled and blushed even more. My eye twitched.
No. 1
Neji Hyuga
Age: 18
The leading man behind his uncle, Hiashi, a great financial man.
The most conceited, boldest JERK in the world. He walks around and acts like he knows it all. BUT HE DOESN'T! MWAHAHAHAHA! BECAUSE I DO! He does everything so effortlessly, and makes it seem so easy, when really, all he is doing is drowning in stress. After school, he has no time for ordinary teenage things, such as movies, and going to the mall. He watches over his youngest cousin, and helps manage most of his Uncle's business. Likes the color red, hates chocolate, and Yorkshi too.
Ignoring the flirting goon, I walked around them, and approached my classroom door. Opening it, a voice stopped me midway.
"Hey twotwo, tell the others I'll be at the meeting in a sec." My eye twitched, and I grunted. Neji stocked off with the two giggling girls. WHAT A FLIRT WHY the hell did he come here if all he does is flirt, AND WHY AM I STILL NUMBER TWO!
Closing the door behind me, I threw the papers in my hands onto a random small squared glass table, it being only one of 6 in the entire room. This room is a 36x50, and is completed with high ceilings, and two fans. Black marble floors, tan colored walls, and a small kitchen is inside the room. Granite counter tops, cooking utensils, and a stainless steel fridge completes it. In the middle of the room is a long glass table, used for meetings held in here, by us of course. Futon in the corner, and several flat screen TVs are placed throughout the room. We are on the top floor. Just outside is our school's garden, which is mainly ours. We have a sliding glass door that leads to it, and it's the only one in the whole school.
I sighed, and flopped on one of our beanie bags.
"Good morning Tenten-chan." came from across the room, a soft, yet hearable voice.
I turned my head to the voice, and smiled warmly.
No. 5
Hinata Hyuga
Age: 16
This is such a delicate girl. The daughter of Hiashi, who seems to pay her very little mind. No one really knows what she wants to become, since the company is going over to Neji. Her personality is sweet, over sensitive, calm, and kind. She loves sushi, and raw fish as well. Easy to talk to and gets along with all girls. She takes gymnastics, and is 5'4. Owns a dog named Yorkshi, and has a younger sister named Hinabi.
"Hey Hina-chan. How are things?"
"Fine. What about you?"
"Okay, until I came to school." I smiled
She giggles. "Couldn't agree more." Our attention turned to the two voices now entering filling the room.
"I've got a golden ticket! I've got a Golden ticket! I've got a-
"Naruto, would you be-quiet for just once?" yelled a frustrated blond. I smiled faintly and stared at two more of my friends.
No.6
Ino
Age:17
Ino, a Beach, natural Blond from California, USA. Her father is the architecture designer for several world famous hotel structures, and layouts. Her mom, an interior designer, who moved her and Ino closer to her dad about 6 years ago. Ino is Bi. She mainly likes girls, has never really gone out with one, just thinks they're cute; boys she rarely admires. She loves fashion, dolphins, and the beach. Is a Vegetarian, and likes the color of teal. She LOVES to mess with Hina-chan, because she finds her sooo very adorable.
Ino continued to txt on her blackberry, while Naruto grunted, and glared slightly to his side at Ino.
No.4
Naruto Uzimaki
Age: 18
The common nice guy. Sweet, Positive, up going, and Bright. Son of a late Author, his mother he never knew. Naruto loves to play soccer, is 6'3, and wants to be a movie director when he's older. With his brains, Science is a complete breeze; that's what he's good at. Science. Give Him Bio, physics, anything related to science, and he'll ace it. He likes Ice cream, running track, and different cultures. He lives in a Hotel Room, and gets pampered constantly, or so I think. He says it's to 'surround himself with a positive environment'.
Hinata smiles: "Good Morning to you both, Ino, and Naruto-san."
Naruto's face dropped slightly, and a blush formed at the bridge of his nose; he looked away.
"Good Morning Hinata-chan." he muttered under his breath.
"HINA-CHAN!"
Ino rushed over to strangle the poor girl, taking her eyes off the screen of her phone, and realizing other people were in the room. Ino squeezed Hina, and she begins to turn blue. Oh,Kami.
"Ino, I think she needs to breath now." Ino quickly let go and apologized.
"So where's the other Hyuga?" She asked sitting her stuff down in her chair at the large table.
I rolled my eyes, and sighed. " He said he'd be back in a few."
Ino mouthed the word oh, and went off to the Fridge, across the room. Naruto walked over to his seat at the table and sat in it, waiting for the others to begin the meeting. I sighed, guessing it was time for me to get up. Walking over to the outside garden, Hina-chan stopped me, and held out a small note card.
"We received some more fruit baskets. They're off to the side near the Kitchenette." Informed Hinata.
I smiled, nodding and grabbed the card telling Hina thanks. She smiled and walked over to the glass table; I opened the sliding door, and stepped outside. It was going to be a beautiful day; my uncle always told me it was good luck to see two clouds the same shape. I quickly walked around the green maze lot, looking for someone in particular. Smiling, I came to a halt, and a pair of eyes met mine.
"What." escaped his lips monotone. He was standing beside a fern grown here, outside, seeds imported. His right hand in his pocket, while the other one was holding the tip of the fern's leaf as if he were studying it.
No.3
Age: 18
Sasuke U.
Son of the head over all Kohona banks; mother is dead. Always been involved in stock numbers, never really the whole banking thing; it's his father's dream. Mother died when he was six, older brother left the two when Sasuke was 8. Dad is always never home, however family butler has been there for him more times than dad. He is quiet, kept to himself, and cold. Likes Astronomy, working on his car, and...OPERA! Yep, shocking I know. Has a hard time opening up to people because he's unsure if they'll stay or leave him as usual.
"Our meeting is about to start." he studied me for a few more seconds, looked back down at the leaf he was still holding.
"I'll be there in a minute."
I nodded my head and began to turn the corner, just as I remembered something.
"Oh Sasuke-!" his head turned to look at me
I smiled huge. " Good morning!"
"Hn." he looked back down; I smirked. That was his way of saying hey.
Walking down another row in this maize of green, I reached the end, where a wall stopped me. I walked up to the wall, almost had my chest pressed against it; I looked up tilting my head all the way back. I was staring at the soles of somebody's feet. They were crossed, and that person was sitting on top of the school building. It was another part of the school, still connected, however was just raised slightly higher due to its structure; I smiled as the sun shined a morning orange on the said person mentioned who was watching the clouds.
"Hey Tenten."
I smiled, head still tilted back. "Morning Shikamaru."
He was at least 10 feet above me, but his head tilted, so he was looking down at me. He always spoke soft in the mornings.
"We have another meeting, so you have to come down!"
He sighed dramatically, and I giggled. Taking steps back I moved and he jumped down and landed easily, stuffed his hands in his pocket; sleeves rolled up, watch showing too. I followed behind him as he led the way back inside.
No.8
Shikamaru N.
Age: 18
Most laziest, always tired, does not give a crap about anything, teenager you will ever meet in your life. Father is an engineer, mother stays at home. In truth, could be number one of Class A if he really ever tried, also, he isn't that lazy only at school. School is just not his thing because it is so boring. Likes animals, so is a veggie eater too, likes board game, and...COOKING! Even writes poetry sometimes, has a guitar too.
Inside it was loud, slightly. Ino catching Hina up on the latest gossip across the table, while Naruto just laughed as Sasuke kept quiet and rolled his eyes bored, still trying to figure out why he was sitting next to him. Shikamaru was already sitting down at his seat, next to the end alongside of Ino. Neji was just walking in the room, closing the door behind him. I walked around to my side, which was across from Shika, and beside Hina to my left. Hn the glorious bastard doesn't deserve the seat of number one. Oh how'd I like to snatch that seat from under his nose and watch him-
"Okay, Everyone here?" Neji asked as he took his seat at the head of the table and looked around.
"No, Sakura is still in class." Chirped Hinata-chan.
"Well someone will just have to inform her about this meeting, Okay. Now...why are we here?"
He glanced at me waiting for an answer. OH COME ON DUDE REALLY? DO I REALLY HAVE TO DO EVERYTHING? IM NOT EVEN NUMBER ONE YET! Yet.
" Well yes, considering the fact that you asked for this meeting," Hyuga stated highly amused that oh shitter cones of gooey goodness I did it again. His hand was in a fist and propped on his cheek, just watching me. I slapped my forehead physically and grunted. I blushed highly in embarrassment.
" You know you don't have to comment every time I accidently speak my thoughts out loud."
"I know, but it's more fun being a nescience to you. And plus it's very entertaining."
I glared at him still under my cloudy blush: "I can see that."
-"My pudding is getting hot, can we pick up the pace here please."
I only raised an eyebrow at that comment made by Naruto. He's one different boy.
"Okay, Ski trip. Ino, Remember you asked about it, and I said I'd see if I could get it approved?" She nodded her head.
"Okay, well I did, so were going tomorrow and leaving at noon. A limo will be picking us up at our homes."
"WWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" Naruto stood out of his seat and cheered randomly, running to the counter to eat his pudding.
"But that only gives me 26 hours, and 32 minutes to pick out my clothes HOW LONG ARE WE STAYING!"
"Um, about 3 days because we have to come back for testing." I said.
Shikamaru leaned back in his seat, and relaxed with a grin. He put his hands behind his head "Sweat."
"NO ITS NOT SWEAT! I NEED AT LEAST 48 HOURS TO-
"Ino please, is it really that necessary to scream?" Murmured Shika.
"YES!" she yelled in his ear.
"So are we all sharing a room or what?"
I looked over at the Hyuga and blinked. What? He was looking at me asking the question to me.
"No we'll be split up, two beds in 4 rooms."
Neji smirked, and leaned in closer to me, voice lowered so only me and he could hear. His breath was a fresh mint breeze, and it kept lingering in the air around my nose, his breath was warm, however it still sent Goosebumps down my back. I don't know why.
"So you'll be rooming with me, right?"
I froze, and stiffened. My face made a face on its own. All without me, it made a sour face. WHAT! I blushed a deep red dude, and I mean it surpasses Hina-chan. What is he saying? We share a room? Together? I thought we were enemies!
"...I...I...don't know..." I stuttered with fear. I looked down at the table avoiding his gaze. He only smirked and recoiled back to his position earlier. Did he just?-and we were?- and I just did a what now? IS HE TOYING WITH ME?! Kami, for a second there, I felt this strange feeling like I almost wanted to say yes, but something was nagging at my heart, in my chest and keeping me from doing so.
"Well was that it?" Shikamaru asked, scratching his head.
"Yes, you can all go back to class." I said.
Ino, Hina, Sasuke, and Shika, all left out the room; Naruto running to catch up with them while holding a pudding cup. I had to stay back and finish this paper work. Walking over to another table and grabbing the papers, I turned around to meet a rather large chest. It was well built, and so mus-I looked up to see that it was Neji.
"I can't make it today after school, I got called in again. Can you do my paperwork for me?"
His voice was very soft, and was not pressured in anyway. He slid a hand through his pulled back hair, putting the loose strands back into place. He always does this, can't make it. It's not like I'm getting tired of this, but I feel like he's using my generosity to his advantage. Why does he even want me to do it for him all the time anyway? He is my rival in my life, but...for some reason...I cannot say no to him. I looked down, not meeting his eyes; ashamed at how weak I was.
"Yes." I whispered. He smiled faintly, a glint of light in his eyes that ten did not catch.
You see, that is what I love about her. She takes it all under the chin, and says nothing about it. Even though I am her enemy, she still shows the same fairness just like all the others. I hate touse her for such petty purposes, but she understands.-He thought.
Tilting his head to the side, he messed up the top of my head into a messy birds' nest.
"Thank You Tenten." Then he stalked off through the door.
I looked back up to see a head peek back into the room. " It means a lot to me; Thank You." I just waved him off and he disappeared. I sighed once he was, I have a long day ahead of me.
A Pink headed girl rushed into the room, holding a Statistics (Math) book in one hand, and papers in the other.
"IM HERE!" She yelled. She had no idea how late she was.
No.7
Sakura H.
Age:17
She loves piglets. Don't ask why because I never knew either so what gives you the right to know when I don't. Hmpf. Daughter of a forgetful Astronomer, they live together mother always out of the picture. She was a druggie her father told her once. Has a bubbly, up-beat spirit, and always argues with Ino. Is sweet, kind, and not very mature yet, not that she's immature either, she's just still a child. Since she's competitive, she loves to gamble because she's really good in math, and with numbers. Likes the color yellow, and always paints her nails pastel colors to match her mood.
"The meeting just ended Sakura."
She paused, and then dropped her stuff on the floor, seeing no reason to rush anymore.
"What was it about?"
"Ski trip tomorrow, Limo picks you up at your house before noon." I summarized for her, walking back to the long table.
She smiled, and began her bubbly conversations again just as she did every morning. She was always so happy to be around friends.
I stayed till 5 o clock, or so I last thought before I put my head down on the stack of papers left by Neji. Just a little nap, that was it, and besides I skipped lunch to help out with some things in the front office. Just a while, then I'll wake up and finish the work.
Neji forgot something in his locker that he needed at the conference held only hours ago. The limo was outside and waiting on him as he walked in. His locker was just a foot away from Class A's room. There was a breeze, and he heard several papers shift; wondering what made that sound; he raised a brow and stalked off towards the classroom. As Neji stood at the door, he realized the screen door to the garden was open, causing the gust of wind, and for the papers? He looked around the room, and his eyes landed on a form. They grew huge, and he walked over to the sleeping figure, then stood beside them for a while. Neji's face softened as he stared down at Tenten. She was beautiful in his eyes, no matter how much she resented him. Knowing the deepness of sleep she was in, he knew she wouldn't mind if he rubbed his fingers through her hair; for once, it was down. It smelled like raspberries, and it was smooth, soft, and silky. Neji could not help but feel a pang of guilt as he looked down at the stack of papers she was working on; his stack of papers. It was his fault that she was still here. Sometimes, she just did not know when to say no when asked a task. She was too eyes were hazed, and lost in thought he forgot his reason for being in this building. A smirk came to his face as he knew his fun was over; it was time to be the nice guy.
"Tenten. Tenten, it's time to get up." he said, gently nudging her in the shoulder.
Tenten lifted her head slowly and drowsily; she looked around, batting her eyelashes. "Huh?" She asked lazily, forgetting where she was.
Neji only smirked more at her reaction. "You over slept sleeping beauty, scenes over." He stuffed both hands in his pockets, and stepped aside from the back side of Tenten. She spaced out for a good 50 seconds, and then realized she was still in school.
"Oh my gosh I Totally forgot!" She yelled, getting the papers all together and resorting them in order. "I've got to finish Your papers, I'm not done yet!" She laid them down on the table and began writing again.
"I'm so sorry Neji I-I totally forgot, and I-
"It's okay."
Tenten turned to Neji. "Huh?" maybe she didn't hear him right.
He chuckled gently, shoulders moving in the process. He seemed so mellow and..calm. He was
not up tight, and cocky right now, he was actually...normal. His voice was relaxed too.
"I said it's okay. You don't have to finish."
I blinked totally confused. "But, you-
"It's 7:30 Tenten, you fell asleep. I'm only here because I forgot something in my locker and found you in here. It's alright, you can forget about it."
Was I being punked? Because I swear to Kami that's what it is, I'm being punked. There was no way in Alaska this was Neji. But I looked into those eyes of his, and they were pale, just like Neji's. Okay. So maybe I'm not being punked, BUT STILL WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?
"Neji, are you sure? I can't -
"Tenten, your making this much harder than it should be. It'll be done by tomorrow, alright. Promise. Besides, it's my work, and it's my fault your still here. Would you just except the fact that for once I'm being nice to you?" He said growing a little frustrated and shocked only stared on and on at the Hyuga.
"I-I'm...Sorry, I-I just didn't realize it. I'll go home now." I looked back down not meeting his gaze as I gathered my things, and stood up. Only making three steps ahead of Neji, I was stopped; he reached out to grab my wrist, and pulled me back. His fingers were warm, and his grip was firm, but not tight.
"Do you need a ride? It's too late to be walking by yourself." Silence took over the space, as I remained quiet, we both were.
I hesitated about to say no, still deciding if this was some kind of trick. "Sure." Neji only stared at Ten for a few seconds before smirking and dropping her wrist.
"Okay, the limo is out front." he informed her as he walked out the room, she followed him.
Holding her notebooks close to her chest, confusion made its mark on the poor girl. She did not get why he was being so nice to her? Maybe it was because he finally felt the guilt for always asking her to stay after and do his paperwork, or maybe hell froze over and the little demons did not tell her.
Neji stepped off the curb, and waited for the door of the limo to open, Tenten however was still on the curb. Being reluctant as door opened, and Neji got inside first. Not a huge surprise there. She stepped forward off the curb to get in, when Neji smirked and shook his head.
"No. This ride is not for you. I asked you if you needed a ride and you said yes. I never told you I would give you one."
Tenten dropped her mouth in pure madness. THAT JERK! WHY THE HELL DID HE DO THAT! The door closed in her face, and then the limo took off, leaving a very pissed and upset Tenten on the side of the road. She would have a few words for him tomorrow, oh buddy she made sure of that.
Neji sighed in the backseat looking out his window. He really did not like being the bad guy here, honestly he didn't. But He had to cover of his true feelings about the girl someway. He wanted her to know that he liked her but not from dropping obvious hints all time, he still had to play the cards and be a jerk to her.Kami, Neji thought. And her face was covered with shock and hurt. He slid his hand down his face and sighed again.Kami.
E nd
Like it? Cool, Review than.
Chapter two Preview:Underneath The Surface, Are you Alive?
Tenten got really pissed once the machine spat out her two dollars again. All she wanted was 2 bags of chips, and thats it. She yelled in frustration and kicked the machine. Neji came up beside her.
He pushed her aside, and stuck in a one dollar bill in the machine. Seconds later, 2 twix bars came out of the machine. Tenten's mouth dropped to the floor. HE ONLY PAID FOR ONE! WHAT KIND OF LUCK?
"That's what happens when you're the best. Everything and everyone loves you. And they can't resist you." He walked away happily eating one of his twix bars.
Tenten screamed.
