I scurried through the maze of empty hallways carrying my books. Another ringing sound was heard. 'Shit,' I thought to myself. I was late. I was never late. That day… I was late.
I could hear the morning announcements come up; 'Please stop and stand for morning announcements and the National Anthem,' the smooth voice of the principal's secretary almost made me stop. Every day I would stop and stand in my classroom and listen to each announcement, spacing out every so often.
I would not stop today.
I looked to my left to see a classroom full of students standing lazily. I recognized some of them as this year's seniors. I'd been going to this school all my life; from preschool 'til now, my sophomore year of high school.
I was almost there. I was so close to my new classroom I could almost taste the new high school air.
I reached for the doorknob and twisted my wrist to reveal my classroom.
Besides the National Anthem starting up, the room was silent. I calmly straightened myself up and walked to an empty desk as I smiled at some of my old friends.

Many of my friends were talking to me after announcements were over. I smiled sheepishly as they all asked me about my 'grand entrance'. I started laughing with them until I saw him out of the corner of my eye, entering the classroom.
Time seemed to slow half of its normal speed as I watched him walk over to the teacher and hand her a rectangular blue slip.
It was a late slip. I would recognize one anywhere. Many times I would see people walk in and hand them to the teacher. I never got the chance to even touch one due to my perfect attendance streak. I'm a nerd. I'll admit it. It wasn't really anything to hide. My friends were always supportive of me and my thoughts, so somehow I think I'll make it through high school.
On the slip, in the handwriting of our school secretary, was written a short first name, and a middle name with either two 'u's in it or a 'w'.
'Could he be a new student? Exchange student?' I asked myself, trying not to make it look like I was watching him.
"Class!" our female teacher said in her loud voice, "We've got a new student!"
The classroom fell silent, and all eyes were on the tall teenage boy.
"Hello," he said simply.
"Class, this is Neji Hyuuga!" exclaimed or teacher. She motioned for him to sit somewhere, and my eyes followed him perfectly.
'Hyuuga,' I thought, 'Hinata,' I said to myself again. I could remember her talking about her cousin one day, being an over-protective person. As I blushed and watched him walk past me, sitting in the seat behind me I thought, 'He doesn't seem like the type…'
Sensei's voice carried on throughout the classroom and I was listening attentively.

"Hey."
I had no idea where the voice came from. My head lifted from my pen and paper, to find someone's fingers tapping my shoulders.
I calmly turned around to come face to face with that boy. The one with the gorgeous brown hair.
"Do you have a pen?" he asked coolly. "Mine just ran out of ink."
I turned around, not saying a word, and pulled out a black pen and held it over my shoulder for him to take from my hands.
Xoxo
As I walked down the hallway, away from my locker I mentally kicked myself. Repeatedly.
'Why the hell didn't you say something? Yeah. Sure. I've got a pen! No! I can't do that! It's too fucking complicated for me!'
I'm sure my face was hilarious. Scrunching into different expressions as I continued to walk down the hallway, thinking to myself.
I couldn't get him to leave my mind. When he went into the hallway to choose his locker I was almost going to tell him to take the empty one next to mine. Something stopped me though. Something inside of me that said: "Tenten. That's a retarded idea."
I mentally kicked myself again.
Xoxo
'Alright Tenten. Second period. Maybe Hyuuga-Kun is in the same class as me…' I was thinking to myself again. As I walked through the classroom doors, I checked to see if he was there. Nope. Not yet. 'Maybe he got lost…' I thought again.
xoxo
The bell hadn't even rung yet, and I was ready to leave the classroom and head out for break. It turns out Hyuuga-Kun wasn't in this class. I sighed as the bell rung, hoping that one of my friends had befriended my newfound obsession and we could at least get to know each other during our 15-minute break.
Xoxo
"Tenten!"
My name was being called by one of my best friends. We met when we were in a grade one and two split class. I assumed she was in the same grade as me, but it turned out she was actually a year younger than me.
"Hey, Hinata-San!" I waved back, heading toward the table she was sitting at.
As someone got up from the table, it revealed to me that he was sitting right next to my best friend.

Haha. Been working on this FF for a while now. Just… adding bits and pieces whenever I felt like it. =D
I Love NejixTen!
This is Marta Uzumaki! See you later!
To the world you may be one person… But to one person you may be the world.
