"What about Hua Shang? She's in your science class and is also the President of the Gardening club and winner of last year's Enviro Challenge. She's running for this year's school captain."
Silence followed shortly by the sound of rustling papers.
"Saiko Fuuka. She's not in any of your classes or in any clubs. Also has the alias of 'The Loner Who Sits on the Roof and Contemplates Life'. Nothing else really."
"Firstly, no. Secondly, personal experience says that she's also part of the Occult Club"
"There's an Occult Club?"
"It's not official."
The sound of a pencil on paper was present followed by more rustling.
"Hana Mori. Treasurer of the 'Oh My God it's Neji Hyuga Fanclub'. Very loud apparently."
More silence filled the empty classroom.
"Well that's the first club participant from the fanclub you've acce— "
"I would rather wear one of Gai's green spandex jumpsuits then be seen with anyone in that fanclub. And you know how I shred those jumpsuits everytime I see them. Tenten, even you should know that by now."
"Well you never know. You might have some sort of attraction to girls who have hidden shrines to you in their wardrobes."
A bunned haired girl looked up from her papers. Brown eyes met snow coloured ones. Ah, yes, the Hyuuga glare. The glare that could send people running. The glare that could keep people away within a 15 metre radius. The glare that had absolutely no effect on Tenten.
"Tenten, I don't."
Shrugging, Tenten placed the paper on top of the tall stack next to her. There were three stacks of papers. The "I would rather wear the green one-piece then date them", the "I don't dislike them as much but still no" and the "The Silence". Or so that was what Tenten had dubbed them as. The "I would rather wear the green one-piece then date them" were mostly participants of the "Oh My God it's Neji Hyuga Fanclub", which was quite understandable. It was also the tallest stack, the "I don't dislike them as much but still no" and "The Silence" followed in second and third respectively.
"Okay, let's take a break. So we're nearly halfway through the all of the girl population of Konoha High. Hopefully we can finish off by the end of next week and then we can start the narrowing down process."
"Tenten, we're literally halfway through the first term. We can wait."
The Hyuga male took a sip from his very own oriental styled tea cup before setting it back down and leaning back in his chair. He had a thing for bringing his own tea and tea cup to school.
"Nu huh. Once you get a girl, you're actually going to get to know her. And you're going to be nice to her. And you're not going to glare at her the way you're glaring at me now. Neji, can't you be more passive than passive-aggressive?"
"No."
Sighing, the bunned haired girl stood up and picked up one of the stack of papers before taking it to the back of the room. At the back of the room, she picked up yet another stack of papers and returned to her previous table. As she relocated the stacks of papers, she continued to talk.
"If you were so against getting a girlfriend or date, then why did you take the bet anyways? Couldn't you have worked out a compromise?"
Blinking, Neji looked at her for a brief moment before thinking back. She wasn't with the group at the time when they had betted on him. He was pretty sure someone was going to relay the bet to Tenten eventually, informing her of the situation. He was certain that it was going to be Lee. The bet was for Neji to find a girlfriend by the time the formal dance rolled over, which was at the end of the school year. They had also said that if he was to lose, he'd be dubbed as the "Forever Alone" But if Neji was to win the others would have to deal with his fangirls for him for a whole school month when they come back next year.
"My pride was at stake" Was all he said.
"Ah yes. Your manly, manly pride"
Tenten immediately felt a set of eyes burning holes into her back but she ignored it as she placed the last stack down. In actuality, Tenten knew of the bet for a while now. Lee had told her about it while they were walking to the bus stop together after martial art class. In all honesty "Forever Alone" really did describe Neji pretty well, to an extent, but she wasn't going to tell him anytime soon. Afterall, she would like to have her head intact a little longer, preferably until the end of the year.
"Tenten, where did you even get all of these files on the girls of our school?"
"I have my ways. Also I have spies everywhere. I have the basic information of every girl in this school! Like what clubs they're in, siblings and such. Except for the ones in our group, Sakura, Ino, Hinata and me."
Pride was definitely evident in Tenten's voice as she talked. Picking up the last stack of papers, she walked over to the back and placed them down, before picking up another stack and bringing them over.
"I have spies in the fanclubs as well. They keep me updated on things happening within the club. Like the war that's going to start between yours and the Uchiha's fanclub."
Gently putting down the files next to the other stacks of paper, Tenten plopped herself back into the chair she had previously been occupying and sighed.
"You do realise I am on good terms with the Uchiha."
"I know that but I'm pretty certain your fanclub isn't."
Neji merely smirked before leaning forward and cupping his hands around his tea cup. Tenten had started to flip through the new files she had taken from the back of the room. Looking up at the clock above the whiteboard, he sighed. There was an hour or so to go before they had to pack up and leave. He and Tenten had some sort of routine where they would meet up in that specific classroom everyday after school and stay until the cleaners or one of the teachers shooed them out.
After that, they would walk together to the bus stop where they would sit on the bench and talk a little longer until Tenten's bus came. This happened everyday, except Thursdays. On Thursdays, Tenten had martial arts with Lee so Neji would go home alone. It was only recently that Tenten had started to use the time they spent after school to find possible candidates for Neji's possible girlfriend, much to the latter's dismay.
"What was Sasuke's fanclub called again? 'All Hail the Chicken Butt' or was it "Have My Babies, Sasuke'?"
"Actually it's the 'Oh Dear Lord it's Sasuke Uchiha Fanclub'."
"Oh. To me, 'All Hail the Chicken Butt' sounds much better."
Grumbling, Tenten crossed her arms over her chest before childishly pouting. Inwardly, Neji chuckled. Her childish persona was quite actually amusing to him.
"Okay, Neji, you want to continue now?"
As Tenten held up a piece of paper with the information of some random girl, Neji internally groaned. At first he was against Tenten helping him (and he still is mind you) but somewhere in that organ that pumped blood around the body, he was grateful for Tenten's help. But of course, he wasn't going to tell her anytime soon. Remaining silent, Neji nodded and simply sipped his tea.
"Meiko Akiyama. She's part of the Cooking Club… and that's about it. Also she got the highest mark last year for Food Technology."
Silence. Tenten didn't look up as she placed the paper down separate from the rest. Picking up another, she started to read again.
"Karin. Leader of the 'Oh Dear Lord it's—'"
"No."
Notes: First Chapter finished. A quick heads up I am not using the American school system for this fan fiction. The characters are around 16 - 17 in this fan fiction meaning they would be in Year 11 according to my school system. This also means they would be another year of school for them (Year 12). If there's any confusion regarding, this, don't be afraid to ask.
