Okay, so...yeah. Here you guys go!

Never Say Never

Sakura burst out laughing. "TenTen, you're so horrible!" She exclaimed after reading my paper. "Well, I thought it caught his true essance..." I pouted, "Oh! We're going to be late! Come on, Sakura!" I yelled as we made our way out of our dorm and into the rain. Yes, it was raining again. Why, Kami, why must I suffer? Well, atleast I get to turn in my paper today! That's a good thing 'cuz it's got some funny stuff in it. And I'm sure you want to know who panda is. It's me! Well, anyway, that should tell Kakashi-sensei to back off! Squish! "EEK!" I screached.

"TenTen, they're just worms! Come on!" Sakura exclaimed. I pouted but ran. Squish! "Kami! They're every where!" I yelled. Sakura gave me a look. Sigh. We contenued to run until we reached Sakura's class room. "Ja Ne, Saki-chan!" I yelled. "Later, Ten-chan!" Sakura said entering her class room.

So, I walked to room 127 again and sat in my seat, again. Ritual much? Anyway, I sat at my seat and took off my backpack. I took out my things and my paper. I was rereading it for errors when I saw some one sit next to me. No one ever sits next to me. I looked at them from under my hood and hat. Oh, Kami! It's Hyuuga. So, I did one of the things I did best. I ignored him. I'm just joking. I stuck a kunai knife in his desk. Like a warning. He just looked at me and then my paper. Well, I couldn't have him read it just yet, could I? So, I flipped it over. That is, until I got a great I idea. I wrote a new part to it involving him trying to cheat, how every one thought he was smart, and how Uchiha really has the brains. Yes, I know, I'm great. So Kakashi-sensei walked in, "Yo, class, sorry. I had to help an old lady cross the street and then she got kidnapped and I had to save her." Kakashi-sensei explained. "LIER!" Naruto exclaimed, like he always does. "Well, anyway, I'm going to be reading some of your papers. TenTen. Yours please." Kakashi-sensei asked. I just grinned and handed him my paper. He quickly read over it and chuckled, "That's intresting. Okay, TenTen entitled it Hyuuga Neji: A Popular " and he read the whole paper. I think Neji was glaring at me from the begaining of the title being read. I love myself! "Deciving, teasing, emo, cheating, and depressed?" He asked just loud enough for me to hear. I grinned, "Hey, it's all true. I just wrote it down, and you really did tease panda. I saw you do it." I explained, "And I saw you try to cheat. You really should be more discreat. As for emo, your blog name says it all, and depressed, what kind of a favorite color is gray? You need a new one." My grin only grew when he began to glare at me. I shrugged it off and watched Kakashi-sensei.

He was reading, again. Does he ever teach? All he really does is make up excuses for being late, read, and mess with my head. I sighed and reached for my bag. I looked inside for my drawing notebook and pulled it out to contenue my drawing of a bird flying out of its cage. I added a broken lock and such, then I shaded. Neji looked it over and grunted. Like I care! So when I finished I put it away and waited for the bell to ring. All the other times I didn't want it to ring, it would, and now it feels like forever. What did I do to deserve this? He's breathing down my neck, no joke! I watched the clock tick away, trying to take my mind off the "prince" next to me. No such luck... I really am begaining to hate this year. Only three days in to it to, what a shame. Oh well, it's not like I can do anything about it anyway. As I said before, I don't think you can chose what you hate, yet, why does hateing him seem so wrong? Ehhhh, my head hurts. The bell rang and I jumped up from my seat and raced to the door. Fangirls were soon to strike. I ran to my dorm and shut the door beathing hard. "What happened to you?" Sakura asked from her bed. "I...I...fangirls...Neji next to me...hor-horrible!" I managed between pants. "TenTen, take a deep breath... and explain." Sakura instrucked. I did as I was told and managed to get my breath back, "Neji sat next to me in Science and got mad after Kakashi-sensei read my paper. Saki, Neji has loads of fangirls! They chased me for some reason! I could have died!" I fell onto my bed. "Wow... -ummm- wanna go out to eat?" She asked. I nodded.

Every Friday everyone in tenth grade or higher gets to go out to lunch. That's one of the reasons I like Friday. That and it's the last day till the weekend. I walked out of the door and ran back in quickly. Sakura gave me a questoning looked and I sighed, "Mob." I explained. "Oh. Then you'll need a diffrent look!" She said, grinning evily. I forced a grin on my face, though I doubt she could see it from under my hood. "That wont be nessisary." I said hastily backing away from her evil claws. Okay, she didn't have claws, but you know what I mean. Sakura pounced and I was on the ground before I could blink. She pulled my hoodie over my head and pulled my hair out of its buns. I frowned. What did she think she was doing? Sakura hopped off me and skipped to her safe and locked it up. That was my favorite. How am I gonna get that back? Brake into it in the dead of night? Hey...that could work! Well, I could plot that later. I truely doubt she would give it back willingly.

We raced to my car before the pack could truely idenify me. Yes, I said it. My car. Okay, mabey it wasn't that great. It was a run down white honda accord, but still, it was nice to feel needed. Sakura had a license, but I was the only one with a car. I've had it for awhile too. Bought it myself. I guess, I had enough for a much nicer car, but, I dunno, this one just felt so ...right. Like you see something expensive and something much cheaper and you have more than enough money for either, yet you can't see yourself in the pricey one. Though, you can clearly see yourself in the other. I've never liked pricey things anyway (even if I am rich). Why flaunt it? There really is no point. All you'll get are some fake friends, fake love, and a fake life. People would only like you for your money- or so I thought.

So, I was sitting in my driver's seat when Sakura pouted. That wasn't a good sign. The only time Sakura did her pefect puppy dog pout was when she wanted to drive. "No." I answered with out even letting her ask. "Demo... how will I learn?" She asked, pout still on her face. "You already know how, Sakura." I said, frustrated. "I don't want to be out of practice!" She exclaimed, "Please?" She begged.

"No."

"Please?"

"No."

"Pw...pwease...?" She had tears in her eyes.

Why, Kami, why did I beg her to sign up for that drama class?

"Stupid actress..." I mumbled, though I think she heard me. Her face lightened up as I made my way to the back seat. I never liked shotgun. I tossed her the keys I'd failed to use, with accurate aim. When I buckled my seat belt, she sped off. Normally, I would scream and tell Sakura to slow down, but I knew she wouldn't and I was lost in my own thoughts. Well, it was more of sulking, but who really cares? I sulk all the time. What's Hyuuga's problem? Why was I thinking of Hyuuga? Why, no matter how hard I tried, could I not loathe or abhor Hyuuga? Yet again, why was I unable to expel him from my thoughts and mind? These are all questions I asked myself that I could not answer. What bothered me most, though, was how I was unable to execrate him. I could do it to any other popular, or even their followers. I was stumped. I heaved a sigh and turned to the window behind me. I had a horrible feeling I was being watched. Well, all I can say is: Always listen to your gut. Yeah, I was being watched, by a group of boys in what looked to be a silver Volvo. So I flung my head around and whispered, "This is 1010 to Cherry Blossom. The populars are in the silver Volvo behind us!" I used code names.

"EDWARD CULLEN!" Sakura yelled with me (I know, we are such geeks, but can you blame us?), "Now why do I have to have a code name and you don't?" Sakura asked.

"I do. 10 10. Like the number." I explained. Sakura made an 'o' shape with her mouth. I went to look at the silver Volvo again. I was glade that I learned to read lips when I was younger. I know what you're thinking, but I was overly paranoid as a child. I turned to Sakura and ordered her to fix the rear view mirror so that I could see them. I turned my head once more and back so that they would talk about me. I wanted to know what they were talking about before. Neji was driving, Sasuke was shotgun, and Naruto and Kiba were in the back. Kiba was talking. He either said, "Dudes, that girl's HOTT!" or "Dog, give me my peacock!" But I think it was the first one. That was flattering! Naruto nodded in agrement, his head bobbing up and down quickly. Sasuke opened his mouth to speak and then closed it. Then, he spoke, "Neji, you just missed our turn." Neji's eye brows furrowed and he said, "I think I've seen her some where before..." I couldn't read/listen to the rest. My face was contorted in horror. I wanted to scream sooo badly but my voice wasn't working.

I forced myself to listen to the rest. "Where?" Naruto asked. "I...don't know..." Neji replyed. I sunk into my seat, relived. At least he didn't remember me... but why does part of me feel so sad? NOOOO! I do NOT, I repeat NOT, feel sad! See, I'm happy! Yeah! Happy! Not sad... but... happy? I think? Oh! I don't have time to think about that! I've gotta keep my eye on the prize, or the enemy. Gawd, I'm crazy. Oh, well, at least I'm happy!

Yeah... so I told Sakura that they're stalking me and she went bezerk... Note to self: Never stress out Sakura. Anyway, we pulled up to our favorite pizza parlor and walked inside as the populars pulled up. I sweat droped. Couldn't they be more discreat? Guess not... Sakura went to the register to order while I saved us a seat. Well... a booth, but it's like a seat! I've always prefered boothes. More privacy and you get a window! Well, most of the time. It sucks when you don't. Sakura sat down and we began to eat. We didn't talk, something about choking, I think. Every so often, I would glance up to be met with the pale violet eyes of Hyuuga Neji. How annoying that got. Once we finished, Sakura paid (I gave her my money) and we left.

The rest of the night was uneventful. If you don't count the newspaper that came out! The headline story was about the paper I wrote!

A Stand Agaist Neji

An annonimous girl who would like to be known as Panda composed an essay that rivaled the Hyuuga in wits. Telling about his innermost secrets and his true colors. Where these lies, misinterpertations, or the truth? We asked Neji-kun ourselves. "Of course, they're all lies. I'm not depressed, emo, a cheater, teasing, or diseaving. i am simply Hyuuga Neji, the man wanted by all of the girls, the man all the men want to be, and the best of the best." Should we trust Neji-kun or should we trust the intruding Panda? That's up to-

"I can't take it any more!" I exclaimed, "I thought that newspapers were suppose to tell news and not express opinons!" I looked to Sakura for support.

"You're right." She said, hiding behind her fluffy purple pillow.

"I'm going to die!" I yelled, "Every one is on his side!" I spilled my guts and looked over to Sakura who just sat there, "This is where you say, 'No, TenTen! You're not alone! I'm on your side!'" I said, mocking her tone of voice.

"No, TenTen! You're not alone! I'm on your side!" Sakura said, mocking my mocking tone of her voice.

"Tomarrow's gonna suck!" I sighed and and fell asleep.
