Chapter 1:
"So this is it…"
Tenten, a girl with two buns on top of her head said, stared up at the gigantic boarding school she was going to spend her next 3 years in. She had entered with her friends Temari and Hinata. The reason she had come was because her parents enrolled her in before they died. She still wondered how they were able to afford this boarding school. She entered the place and was greeted by a boy with very feminine features.
"Hello, I am Haku. Do you need any assistance?" He said this with a smile that made Tenten awe.
"Um… where do you go for checking in?" She asked hesitantly.
"Right this way." Haku said as he walked toward a desk with 4 teachers. She first went to Kakashi-sensei. He gave her a sheet of paper with her room number, and everything else about her room. Then to Gai-sensei, who passed her some Gym clothes and grinned so widely to show off his white gleaming teeth. Kurenai Sensei gave her, her schedule and Asuma Sensei gave her a map of the school.
She looked at her paper for her room, and then a chill went down her back. In this school, a building was shared by 1 girl, 2 boys, and a teacher. She had to live with 2 boys for 3 years…plus her teacher was that weird smiling guy… Oh, well might as well deal with it. Although, she was hoping to have a room with Temari and Hinata. What also came to her surprise was that all buildings were put into groups and the people in those groups would always be in the same class.
Tenten found her building and entered. It looked new, and came with 2 bathrooms, 1 kitchen, and 4 bedrooms. Tenten's stuff was in a room that had 'Tenten's room' on the door. She opened the door and entered. The room was a decent size and came with it's own bathroom. 'Probably the Girls only bathroom.' Tenten thought as she checked inside.
'Am I the only one here?' She thought as she sorted her stuff into her room. She put away all her clothes and put her pictures of her parents and friends on her desk.
"Did someone else come in?" A booming voice came from downstairs. Tenten came out to see who that person was. She was greeted by a boy a little taller than herself. He had a bowl cut, thick eyebrows, and wore a green suit with orange leg and arm warmers.
He looked at her, did the same smile as Gai Sensei and said, "Hello! Are you Tenten?"
"Yes, nice to meet you, um…" Tenten hesitated not sure what to say. 'He looks a lot like Gai-sensei…' She noted.
"My name is Lee, Tenten-san! Oh, and is Neji here yet?" He asked peeking behind Tenten.
"Not as far as I can tell." Tenten said looking behind at the door with 'Neji's Room' hanging on it. 'I wonder what kind of person he is…' Tenten was wondering when the door opened and a guy with long black hair like Haku's and violet eyes came in.
'Those eyes look familiar…' Tenten thought as she watched him. He looked at Tenten, paused a little as if he was surprised, then at Lee.
"Hello, Neji-san!" Lee greeted him. Tenten could tell that they knew each other pretty well form the way that Lee greeted him.
"Hello…" He replied, as he went off into his own room and shut the door. Tenten watched him leave and then asked Lee.
"Is he always like that?"
"No, not if you get to know him, and you'll have plenty of time to do that." Lee said reassuringly. "…But most of the time he'll be like that." Lee said laughing.
Tenten nodded and smiled.
A voice came from outside,
"Students, please come out to meet one another!"
"Oh, it must be Gai-sensei!" Lee said.
"Our Teacher?" Tenten asked.
"Yes, I can recognize Gai-sensei's voice any day!" Lee said smiling as if it was something to be proud of.
Tenten then followed Lee who burst outside to the plaza in the middle of the 6 houses facing each other. She found Temari and Hinata and they embraced.
"Who're your roommates?" Temari asked.
"Mine are Kiba and Shino-kun…" Hinata said.
"Mine are Neji and Lee. Wait, isn't Neji your cousin Hinata?" Tenten asked remembering how similar Neji and Hinata's eyes had looked.
"Yes, he is. I hope you get to see his good side…" Hinata looked at her a little worried, but Temari cut in with a,
"I'm stuck with my brothers again. God, they do this to me every year." Temari looked annoyed. Tenten and Hinata laughed.
'So, this is who I'll be with for the next 3 years.' Tenten thought as she looked around. Somebody bumped into her and she fell.
"Ouch." Tenten said as she rubbed her knee.
"Sorry." Neji who had bumped into her. He offered his hand. Tenten stared at him for a little before realizing he was offering her help. She looked a little embarrassed when she grabbed his hand. He pulled her up and when he was sure that he was okay, he walked off. Tenten didn't know why, but she felt a little awestruck. She watched him walk toward Gai-sensei and they exchanged some words before he walked passed her again. He glanced at her and Hinata before going to where Lee was.
"Tenten?" Temari asked.
Tenten snapped out of it quickly. "What?" She asked.
Temari sighed. "Don't get sidetracked by boys." Temari said. "This is the beginning of the year, some of them could turn out to be real jerks." Temari said. Tenten knew that Temari was right, she often said really smart stuff so she always paid attention to what Temari said.
'I don't think Neji would be a jerk though...' Tenten thought. 'But then again, I do prejudge people wrong sometimes...' Tenten thought.
'Does Tenten like Neji nii-san...?' Hinata thought. She knew Neji could be harsh sometimes and hoped he wouldn't be too tough on Tenten.
"All right student's we're going to the group 2 main building!" Gai-sensei shouted. Tenten thought he was using a speakerphone, but to her surprise, he was actually saying this with just his voice.
Tenten followed the rest of the students to the main building.
'I might actually have some fun here' She thought.
My first ongoing story!!!!! This is my first story so don't be harsh!
