Author's note: Um…. Actually, this fic is based loosely on my actual life… soooooo yeah…. I guess I'm Tenten… cuz… um…. It… works better that way…. My life isn't quite full of drama, but the world around me is… Especially with... um… "Sakura"… I don't think I'll reveal who the characters are based on… "Sakura", "Hinata", sorry if you find this, I couldn't resist. Well… Here we go… I'll explain things along the way… Oh! And in this fic, Tenten's the youngest, not the oldest. And I'm just going to say her last name is 'Ranzaki' heheh…

Hi there, I'm Tenten. I'm twelve going on thirteen in December. My life is somewhat stressful with all my stupid ballet lessons and piano, but all I really want to do is practice fighting, handle my weapon collection and hang out with my friends, which strangely enough are mostly guys, one of which, is my old friend's ex-boyfriends. Well, it's complicated. I'll start from the beginning-and I won't narrate either. As a friend says, it's too troublesome.

Four seventh grade girls ran giddily into the outer field of Konoha Middle School. One with blossom coloured hair, one a golden blonde, a shy girl with deep blue hair and one with her long chestnut hair tied up in two tight buns. The pink haired girl was holding a box of chocolates.
The brown haired girl was getting impatient.
"COME ON, SAKURA!!! Tell us who gave you the chocolates!"
"Yeah, Sakura, tell us already!"
"S-Sakura! I-I can't run (pant) a-anymore…"
Sakura finally stopped and seeing as she was dieting: handed the chocolates to a sugar-loving Tenten, seeing as she was strangely the skinniest (it was strange as she NEVER dieted or played sports and she ate lots of junk food). Tenten squealed and hugged the box to her chest and jumped up and down.
Sakura turned to her best friends. "Ok, um… I'm not sure how to say this… but… I have a boyfriend."
Ino, Hinata and Tenten gaped at her.
"YOU ARE TWELVE!!!"
"S-Sakura-chan…"
"WHAT?! Since when?!"
Sakura blushed.
"Um… since fifth grade?"
Ino and Hinata looked at her blankly. Tenten was the first to react.
"Y-you… are… so…. MEAN! YOU KEPT THIS FROM US FOR TWO WHOLE YEARS?!"
Tenten was smiling through her fake anger. She was obviously happy for Sakura. Ino and Hinata decided to go along with the joke.
"Yeah, Sakura! What's wrong with you?"
"Jeez, Sakura!"
"Meanie! You are so- what's his name?"
Ino and Hinata laughed at Tenten's little joke.
Sakura laughed. "His name is Uzumaki Naruto. I met him at my old school in grade five, but we broke up about two weeks ago."
Ino was puzzled.
"Why did you break up?"
"Well… He kind of moved to Suna last year…"
"Oh…"
Sakura stared into the sky.
"We tried to stay together but it wasn't working, the distance tore us apart, but he now wants to get back together with me. He's been sending me gifts, emails- Yesterday, I found a puppy in a basket sitting on my doorstep and his collar was labelled 'NARUTOLOVESSAKURA'."
Hinata was shocked.
"Wow. Um… well… wow."
"He won't stop bugging me! I can't get him to stop! I really like him but… It's not going to work! I want him to move on! I want to move on! But, he won't let go! He says there's no reason! I gave him the reason! He's too far away! But he won't listen to me…"
The rest of the day was normal. Going to classes, dealing with their bitchy teacher Yuhi Kurenai. They're teacher never ever helped them. All she ever did was sit there, putting down her students when didn't agree with their opinion. After school, the four girls met up with their two other friends, Temari and Karin. Tenten frowned. She didn't like those two very much. They were… um… girly. Not girly-girly, wild-party-flirty-self conscious-girly. Temari and Karin were best friends but they fought a lot. Temari was tall and sporty and Karin was…. slightly overweight. Neither of them were very smart either. To them, it was looks before books.
Temari walked up to them.
"What's up guys? Ino? Hinata? Tenten? You've got a strange look on your faces, guys."
Sakura blushed. "Well…"
"Sakura's got a boyfriend!" Ino blurted out.
Hinata giggled like crazy.
Karin gasped in excitement.
"No way!"
"Wow! Go Sakura!"
Sakura blushed even harder.
Tenten left after that. She had to go to her stupid ballet lessons. It wasn't so bad at first. In fact, when she was a little kid, it was fun! But over the years, it became troublesome and boring but her mother didn't let her quit. Her mother put her in ballet, piano, lots of stuff like that and she kept pushing her and pushing her. Tenten was sick of it but she went anyway. At her ballet lesson, she fell behind the other girls and was constantly corrected by her teacher.
"Tenten, you have to turn out your legs more."
"Pull up, Tenten! Pull up!"
"Tenten! Point your feet!"
Tenten was sick and tired of hearing it. Pull up. Pfff. It's just another way of saying 'suck in your gut, stand straight and strain yourself!'.
Then there was piano. Tenten was ok with playing the piano, but playing the same songs-especially ones she hated- over and over and over. Hundreds and hundreds of times! It was horrible. Then there were scales. Playing the same 16 notes over and over. Different versions of the same 16 notes. For eight years.
It was always the same for the young girl. School, ballet, homework, sleep. School, ballet, homework, sleep. School with a horrible teacher, boring, tiring, ballet, long hours of homework and getting to bed past midnight.
And people ask her why she always looks so tired.

The next day, everyone was talking about Sakura's secret beau. All her friends had questions about the boy.
"When did you guys meet?"
"Where's Uzumaki now?"
"Are you really going to dump him?"
This went on for about a week.
On a bright day, Ino and Hinata were away sick. It was originally just Ino that was sick, but for kicks, she decided to cough all over the stair railings and the doorknobs and managed to infect Hinata, along with 20 percent of the school.
So Tenten was stuck with Sakura, Temari and Karin. The four walked over to the playground where there was a cone shaped structure made of many thick, long, red ropes supported by a long metal pole. It was nicknamed 'The Spider web'.
They sat down on the intertwining ropes.
Sakura sighed.
"I really need to break up with Naruto, but I don't know how! "
Something lit up in Karin's dim mind.
"Hey, if you had another boyfriend, wouldn't that give him a reason to break up with you?"
Tenten played the idea in her mind.
"You know, Sakura, it could work. If you had a boyfriend, then he might stop chasing you."
"Ok, but I'm going to need your help. Just sign into our regular chat room at 4 o clock today with these screen names. Karin, you're playing the most important role of all…"

The next day at school, Tenten talked to Sakura.
"So…. What happened? Are you mad?"
"Naah… Things worked out! Now we have to work on hooking up Ino and Shikamaru! We all know they like each other!"
"Hmm… I don't like Shikamaru very much; Ino spends too much time with him… but seriously? It's all over?"
"Yup! And now thanks to your help, I'm finally free!"
Sakura ran across the field laughing as the wind blew through her hair.
X
So yeah! That's how it all started, through the eyes of me- Tenten! It gets more dramatic later on… with Sakura's love life and all, best friends turning against each other… yep. This is my life! I don't know if it'll ever calm down!
X
Soooooooo yea… this actually happened to me…. It's weird…. But uh… next time, the relationship between shika and ino and the exclusion of temari! Things are gonna get serious!
