"Hey." She grinned. Neji was silent.

"What?" He asked.

"I dunno. I just saw you and said hi!" Neji raised an eyebrow.

"You're pretty immature for a teacher.." He muttered.

"Detention?" She asked. Neji turned quickly. "Just kidding!" She placed her hand on his shoulder.

"Ms. Shiho…" Neji said quietly.

"Yeah?" She looked at him.

"I'm wondering… how did you end up teaching our class?" Neji asked. "I mean, if you're a junior yourself… how come you're teaching our class?"

"Well, I came from a different school. I just came to Konoha at the end of the school year. When this year, I learned that I would have to study Konoha history again, I decided to say no and teach. I already learned all that last year. I mean, I'd be a senior at the moment." She smiled. Neji raised an eyebrow.

"I don't get it." He muttered. Tenten slapped his back gently.

"That's alright. Do your homework!!" She grinned.

"Why do you keep reminding me that.." Neji muttered again.

"Cause I know you're not gonna do it." Tenten smiled at him. Neji just blinked.

"How'd you-"

"Just looking at you, Neji. You look like someone who'd not do their homework and then make up a horribly lame excuse the next day." Neji was silent. She grinned and then laughed. "I was right, huh?"

"How'd… you know…" He mumbled.

"Just guessed."

"Hn." Neji responded and turned from her.

"I want to be friends with you…" Tenten smiled.

"Why?" Neji asked. "You're my teacher. It would be weird." Neji responded and wanted to walk away. But somehow, where this conversation was going….

"I dunno. You seem like a nice guy. I think you're older than me too." She stuck her tongue out. "And besides, you're on my boyfriend's football team."

"Sasuke Uchiha, the senior? That's what you call Mr. Emo…" Neji muttered. Tenten pinched his cheek. "Ow, what the hell?!" Neji cursed and pulled away.

"That's mean."

"You call me Mr. Emo-kins!" Neji muttered loudly at her.

"I… didn't mean to offend you." Tenten said quietly.

"Ms. Shiho. It's okay. I mean-"

"You forgive me?" She looked at him.

"Er…. Hn.." Neji responded.

"Awesome! I'll never call you that ever again! So… you have football today, right?" She asked him. He nodded. She smiled. "I'm gonna come watch you play." Neji blushed slightly.

"Wh-Why the hell would you want to do that?"

"Maybe Sasuke will beat you." Neji smirked.

You think that just because he's captain of the team he's good at it….

"Yes. He's good at it." Neji shook his head.

"You haven't seen me play…" Neji responded. Tenten raised her eyebrow.

"Oh really? And you think you can beat him?" Neji smirked.

"Of course."

"Wanna bet?" Tenten held out her hand.

"I don't bet with teachers… sorry, Ms. Shiho." Neji turned.

"H-Hey!" She pulled his shoulder. "I'm making a bet whether you like it or not, okay?" Neji sighed. "If Sasuke beats you, then you have to clean up my classroom all week, okay?" Neji rolled his eyes. "Chicken?"

Well she just popped his last vessel.

"Never. Fine. Deal. You're on the cheerleading team,…" Neji said quietly. Tenten put her thumbs up.

"Yes I am! Captain of it!" She grinned.

"Then, if I win, I get to watch you do a cheer." Tenten's eye twitched.

"That… will be totally awkward, like, it would be so weird…"

"You're teacher. You're not suppose to use the word, 'like'…" Neji smirked and walked away.

"Oh please! Don't forget to do your homework!!" She shouted after him.

Right. I'm totally gonna win that bet. Neji thought and kept on walking.

"NEJI!!" He stopped and a bead of sweat traveled down his forehead.

Shit. Neji thought and slowly started to turn around.

"NEJI! I SAW YOU TALKING TO MS. SHIHO!!"

Naruto. Neji thought and swerved so that Naruto missed his punch.

"WHY ARE YOU TALKING TO HER?!" Naruto complained. Neji shrugged.

"She started." Neji replied. Kiba zoomed up next to Naruto.

"Nice, Neji! You started talking to her!!" Kiba grinned. "Too bad she has a boyfriend."

"I know that." Neji responded. "I don't care."

"OOH! YOU LOVE MS-" Naruto replied.

"Naruto. I'm gonna punch you so hard, that you won't be able to pronounce love ever again." Neji threatened him. Kiba laughed.

"Calm down, Neji. Naruto was just joking. We all know you don't love her."

"Thank you." Neji growled at Naruto. He sat in the corner.

"Neji hates me. Neji hates me." Naruto complained.

"Oh come on.." Kiba kicked Naruto gently. "Neji…" Neji rolled his eyes.

"Naruto. I will not punch you." He leaped up.

"Awesome! So, I heard you were making a bet with her? Is she dating you? Our teacher??" Naruto grinned.

"I'm going to rip your ears right out of your head!!" Neji shouted as Naruto sprinted. Kiba held Neji back. "I'm gonna rip your hearing devices!" he cursed.

"Calm down!" Kiba responded.

"Let go." Neji growled. Kiba immediately let go. He sprinted after Naruto.-10 minutes later-

"What the hell…" Kiba looked at Naruto who had a black eye.

"Neji did it." Naruto moaned.

"Neji?" Kiba asked. He laughed. "Where'd he go?"

"I dunno…." Naruto mumbled. "All I said was-"

"Don't!" Kiba shouted and kicked Naruto in the knee.

"Oh god. Down…" Naruto collapsed.

"… My bad.."

That… Stupid Naruto! Idiot…. Neji mumbled.-Football field-

"Hyuga." Neji turned around. Well well well, it was Tenten's boyfriend, Sasuke Uchiha.

"What."

"I heard you pummeled Uzumaki."

"What's it to you?" Neji asked and threw his bag onto the bleachers.

"Don't talk to me like that."

"Why not?" Neji asked.

"I'm captain. I could easily boot you down." Sasuke growled.

"Sure." Neji responded.

"Excuse me?!"

"You're excused." Neji responded.

"Look, just because my girlfriend likes you, doesn't mean I can't-"

"Sasuke?" Tenten walked around.

"Tenten!" He let go of Neji's collar immediately and ran to hug his girlfriend.

"Feh. Saved by a girl." Neji muttered.

"I look forward to your game vs. Sasuke!!" Tenten called at him.

"Ms. Shiho." Neji said quietly and stuck his tongue at her.

"Ah. A game?" Sasuke asked.

"Me vs. You." Neji growled.

"You serious?" Sasuke laughed. "You can't beat me."

"I've beat you more than once already."

"You-"

"Play fair!!" Tenten cheered from the bleacher. "I'm counting on you both!"

"You know she means me…" Sasuke growled at Neji. He shrugged.

"Whatever." Neji put on his helmet. "Bring it pretty boy."

"What's that?!" Sasuke shouted at Neji. Neji smirked.

"Oh nothing."

"Oh god…" Naruto held an icepack over his eye. "Sasuke vs. Neji?"

"In football?!" Kiba almost shouted.

"GO SASUKE-KUN!!" Ino and Sakura shouted in their cheerleading uniforms. And right in Tenten's bag, was wait, a cheerleading uniform? Why did she have that now… if she was going to win the bet? If Sasuke was gonna beat Neji in football? O.o

Sorry it took so long. I won a gold in tai chi, a silver in a hand form, and a bronze in the staff form. I was at a tournament in new jersey for kung fu. And… I did relatively well. :D

I'll update soon. xD
