The Final Song
Kazu: Hi… I'm back. This is my new fanfic. My other fanfics will be updated when I have time. Hehe… hope you like this. It's based on a true story of my friend.
DISCLAIMER: don't own..
"Tenten-chan!!"
The bun-haired brunette didn't look back. She just acted like she heard nothing
"Oi, Tenten!" the pink-haired girl said again
After a moment or two, Tenten looked back, and forced a smile. You could still see tears in her eyes
"Hey, you okay?" Sakura asked, concerned for her dear friend.
Tenten only nodded. She tried to be perky but the sadness was still planted on her face. A raven/brown haired boy with pearl white eyes passed by. He was carrying his guitar on his shoulder.
"Hi Neji" Sakura greeted while Tenten just bowed her head low. Neji just glanced at Tenten once
"Hi" Neji greeted without looking at them
"The nerve of that--" Sakura stopped seeing her friends expression. Tenten's head was still bowed, her chocolate eyes covered by her bangs. "Hey, did something bad happen between you and Neji? I mean, you were rumored to be--"
Sakura was cut off by Tenten's immediate response "Uh, Sakura, can we talk about this later? My group still has this… meeting to attend to, sorry" Tenten rushed back to her classroom and left Sakura corridor
'What the hell happened between them? Time for detective Haruno Sakura –insert Inner Self's evil laugh-'
(Flashback earlier)
"Fellow students, the program will start now" the student council president announced "Let's start the presentation with an opening song to be sang by our school's homegrown band, twenty-eight!"
"As i walked along the sky
of my dream you came alive
and it feels you're made to change
my whole life
and i know you will be there
There for me to make me stare
And it will be always and
Forever in my dreams…"
Tenten glanced at Neji and blushed. She thought no one saw her staring at him, she thought wrong. Neji's friends saw her staring at him time to time. So did Tenten's friends. Neji, on the other hand, simply pretended he saw nothing and continued listening
At the end of the performance, naturally, all the students clapped for the band's successful performance. While the others enjoyed the performance, Neji just stared blankly at the band, while Tenten just bowed her head low, blushing. (Naks mga natamaan!)
(End of flashback)
As the bell for dismissal rang, the students immediately rushed out of their classrooms. Tenten waited for everyone to leave the classroom. Somehow fate had some plans of its own. Together with Tenten, Neji was also there, scribbling in his notebook. Tenten was curious what he was writing. Part of her was insisting to go over, but part of her keeps on replaying what had happened.
After a few moments, she finally had the courage to at least talk to him. She nervously approached his table, which were two seats away from hers. Tenten took a deep breath "N-" Tenten was cut when Neji packed the notebook inside his bag and stood.
"C'mon, I'll walk you to 'till the gate" Neji said before going out the classroom
Tenten blushed and nodded. The trip was quiet. She didn't dare to speak. Though she felt very uncomfortable of the awkward silence, she decided to say nothing. What could she say, anyway?
"Tenten," Neji's voice broke the silence "you do know the rumors going around that we're together or I have a crush on you, right?"
Tenten was quite startled with the question. She bowed her head low and nodded "Y-Yes"
"Do you believe in them?"
At once Tenten shook her head "Hell, why would I believe in that? Remember, I'm known as a tomboy. Why would I fantasize about you having a crush on me?" she answered. She didn't blushed nor stuttered, she just answered him normally
Neji smirked. Her reply was amusing to him and he thinks his facial expression is cute
"Here we are" Neji stopped. They were already at the gate
"Bye..."she proceeded her way outside the campus
"Oh, and Tenten..."
She turned around with an annoyed look "What?"
"Meeting tomorrow for our music group… lunch break. Got it?" He smiled. It wasn't a smirk… it was a genuine smile.
Her face turned light pink and turned around quickly before he noticed
