WE WERE/ARE FRIENDS

Prologue: HOW WE MEET

The wind was caressing the cheek of seven year old Tiantian Mitarashi. Her long brown hair was tied up in its customary high ponytail. She was wearing a black summer dress, her shivering evident under the thin piece of cloth. The river in front of her glimmered in the moonlight and the trees rustled and swayed with the wind. The dark sky glittered, stars and a full moon glittering over the little girl. However, as much as Tiantian wanted to wander in the night, she concentrated on the sound of sobs coming from her best friend, Neji Hyuuga.

"Ne-kun, are you alright?" she asked innocently.

The other seven year old was crouching down and took a moment before uttering a reply." Not sure.''

"It's alright. Your papa was a good man and it was by some horrible twist of fate that he died in a car accident."

"But you have parents!" he blurted out, not realising the quick flash of pain on Tiantian's eyes.

'I'm sorry but you know, I'll always be your friend. That's why you're not alone" she countered, hoping to ease the boy's pain.

"Sure?"

"Pinky promise and cross my heart and hope for a lot of smiles!"The little girl held out her fifth finger to Neji. He took it with his own finger and in unison they said, "Promise!'

"So you want to race home with me?" Neji asked his mood drastically brightened. His house (ahemmansionahem) was a few metres away from the river while Tiantian's house was further away in the opposite direction of the Hyuuga's house.

"Gomen" I promised mama ad papa to go home directly today.' she whispered and started to poke her index fingers together in a nervous gesture.

Neji knew that she was uneasy but did not bother pursuing the topic. "oh, okay. Bye then!" he shouted as he ran to the direction of his home, leaving the brunette girl to stare at his back for what seems to be the last time.

I'm really, really sorry, Ne-kun." she whispered as she trudged all the way home. A week later, Neji learnt that Tiantian moved away as her parents died on the same accident that killed his own father.

That day, Neji did not cry. Or showed any other emotions.

Ring! Ring! Ring!

A young girl of age seventeen fell abruptly out of her bed and woke up with a splitting headache. She smashed the snooze button on her alarm clock and muttered a string of colourful words. Tenten glanced up from the floor to her black alarm and was surprised to see it was six forty-five in the morn.

"I'm late!" she shouted and quickly began ransacking her closet for her uniform and took a shower in less than five minutes. She thanked the heavens she had already prepared her bag earlier as she took a toast before zooming out of her apartment.

Tenten wore her chocolate brown hair in her customary twin buns and wore a buttoned down white shirt with her school's crest on her breast pocket and a turquoise colour skirt. Tenten was beyond pissed when she found out that all skirts were very short and therefore wore black shorts underneath. She also wore a black Adidas running shoes.

She had recently moved out of her grandfather's house shortly after he died and she inherited his money. Tenten proceeded to buy her apartment at her home town, Konoha and transferred from Water country secondary school to Konoha high.

*.:.:.:.*

Neji Hyuuga never liked morning. He woke up at four in the morning just to perfect his already perfect, lush, long and extremely silky hair. He would then take a workout tor an hour and this gained him his toned muscles yet completely save his skin from the wrath of the hot sun that bless Konoha all year round. His skin could even beat that of a newborn!

After that, he spent the rest of his time would his family but to him, it was a breakfast that consisted with the head family that consists of an annoying cousin, a weakling of a heir and the most emotionless man on the whole planet,

He hated his mornings because of his goddamn family.

When breakfast was done, he would change his clothes for his Konoha uniform. Goddamn school was worthless in his opinion.

He then smiled a Cheshire cat smile. An evil smile. School was full of his prey. Weak woman tossing their selves into the beds of men like him….. Maybe school was not too worthless after all.

It was fun watching their hearts break over a break up. Why were they so naïve to think that he would gladly be theirs, even as a friend? Hn…. The last time he promised to be someone's friend turned badly.

Everyone was just a lying scum. His heart was not too fragile to be broken again.
