Disclaimer: Yeah. No.
I haz more music for you gaiz! :D The (old) title of this story, 'Butterfly Lovers'. It's an old 'tragic love story'- kind of like a Chinese Romeo and Juliet. Seriously, go listen to it. (It has absolutely nothing to do with this chapter, though. But its awesome, so. Yeah.)
Yes, its short. I think the AN at the end is longer. Oh well.
Tenten looked at the clock, uncrossing her legs.
And then at the note.
Back to the clock.
Now the note again.
Clock. Note. Clock. Note.
Two minutes was enough for 'fashionably late' and 'totally not pathetically eager', she decided, and got up. Stumbling towards the door, she grabbed a jacket and headed out.
The walk to Hidden Leaf Café was short, but it seemed to take forever- mostly because Tenten's thoughts were full of a certain pale-eyed man. A few nights ago at the festival, he'd left her with a bit of a regretful smile. She'd been too shocked to say anything. Since then, most of her waking time was occupied with speculations.
And then she'd gotten the note.
How he knew where she lived, she had no idea. She supposed she was flattered, that someone would go through the trouble of finding out where she lived, but why didn't he come in and ask her himself?
At first, she'd been shocked. She'd read the note over and over, searching for hidden meanings, clues, anything.
Tenten-
Hidden Leaf Café, two o'clock.
-Neji
Unfortunately, he had decided to go all cryptic on her. She snorted. As if he wasn't mysterious enough.
Tenten didn't even know why she was bothering to go. If the blue-haired girl was his fiancé, that meant he was already claimed. Which meant there was no point getting her heart broken. She'd already fallen for the 'love at first sight' cliché- that was enough for her lifetime.
And yet, something about him drew her to him, as horrifyingly cliché as it sounded. She'd subconsciously made up her mind to go before she had even processed the words. It was pathetic.
Tenten found she didn't care.
As she crossed the last street, she started to walk faster. Soon she was running, almost crashing into several people, but she didn't care. All that mattered, in those few seconds, was the Hidden Leaf Café sign hanging right in front of her.
Nearing the door, she slowed, panic overtaking her. Her heart stumbled into her throat as she pressed a few fingers against the frosted glass doors. For a moment, she even considered turning back around.
Taking a deep breath, she grasped the handle and pushed the door open.
So I thought I should probably explain the story of the title and why I changed it. Those of you who know the story, go ahead and leave a review. Those who don't, read and the leave a review.
(Haha. I'm so funny.)
The story: So in ancient China, girls weren't allowed to go to school. Well, there was this one girl who was like, 'too BAD', and she dressed up as a boy and went to school. And then she met this other guy, and they became BFFs and stuff. But she fell in love with him, and when they were about to graduate, well, she couldn't exactly tell him the truth, so she told him that she had a little sister at home that (s)he wanted him to marry. When they got to her house, her dad was all like, 'Psh, no. You need to marry a rich dude so I can get richer!' and she was like, 'WUT'. So she changed back into a girl and told the other guy the truth and he was like, 'thank GOSHES you're a girl. I'm not gay after all!' but then she was like 'we can't FREAKING BE TOGETHER' and he was like, 'WUT' and he was sad, so he died. And then as she was travelling to her suitor's house, she was like, 'Dad, can I go visit his grave?' and he agreed, so she went. And then some magical stuff happened and the grave opened and she jumped in. A little while later, two butterflies flew out and yeah.
... So that was my completely not serious version and I completely butchered the feeling and emotion and tragicalness and whatnot. But it is a really sad story, and a really beautiful song, so you should go check it out. Lots of people have actually cried playing it. ITS THAT GOOD.
The reason: I have been OBSESSED with BL(T XD) recently, and I noticed a few parallels between this story and that, so I changed it. Yay.
EDIT: I'm so sorry for the (YET AGAIN) change of the story title. My friend wanted me to change it to Enchanted ('I mean, the first chapter is EXACTLY like the song! :O') and I kinda owed her so... yeah.
... OTL
