Normal POV
Tenten sighed as she glanced around. She was sitting on the steps of the school beside Selena who was talking to her other friends on her other side. Tenten rubbed her eyes as Selena turned towards her, remembering the previous night, or rather, that early morning.
Flashback
"God! Why did Kurenai-sensei assign a FUCKING ESSAY for tomorrow? ON THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL!" Tenten sat at her desk, rubbing her temples.
"Need help?" Selena poked her head in.
"Sure! Why don't you write my ten page essay about MY most rewarding experience in MY FUCKING LIFE?" she yelled sarcastically.
"Um... Tennie..." Selena started tentatively.
"WHAT?"
"She does this every year... and every year she never collects it..."
Tenten emitted a long chain of profanities as she shoved everything of her desk and face planted. She then shot up out of the chair, successfully knocking it over and she angrily stomped out of her room to the bathroom across the hall.
Selena glanced at the clock... 2 AM. she picked up Tenten's essay from the ground, she had gotten to 9 pages. Selena snickered and dropped it back on the floor, she skipped to her room to go to bed, amused at Tenten's antics. She knew that her mom, Tenten's aunt, was still asleep by the snoring coming from her room. She shook her head in disbelief at the heavy sleeper.
End Flashback
"Oh, c-mon Tennie, you gotta admit, it was kinda funny," Selena grinned as she waved bye to her other friends who were walking away.
Tenten glared, "Not if YOU were the one that spent TEN FUCKING HOURS on an essay that apparently isn't actually collected!"
"Sure!" Selena chirped.
"How do you not look like shit, anyways? You got less sleep than I did, since you wake up an hour earlier than I do. I got like five hours of sleep, so you got four..."
"I'm magical like that," Selena grinned again.
She looked marvelous as usual in her blue tunic that brought out her blue eyes, belted with a white belt with silver hearts cinching the waist. She had on a gray jean skirt to mid-thigh and the edges were frayed and there were white faded parts. She had on silver flats and her hair was wavy with her bangs in a pouf at the top of her head and a white headband.
Tenten sighed and looked at herself, she had on a yellow, not too bright tee that had white splatters and blue skinny jeans with yellow converse, and her hair was ...just …there…
"Good morning Selena-san, Tenten-chan" Hinata greeted them politely as she sat down in front of Selena.
"Hey," Neji greeted them, sitting beside Selena.
"Morning Hinata, morning Neji" Selena replied," and how many times must I tell you Hinata, just Selena is fine" Hinata blushed and nodded. Selena nudged a half-asleep Tenten.
"What? Huh? Oh... hey Hyuugas," Tenten said, still half-asleep.
Neji and Hinata looked curiously at the sleepy girl. Selena opened her mouth to explain but was interrupted by a loud blonde.
"HINATA-CHAN!" Naruto yelled, grabbing his girlfriend in a giant hug while Neji glared at Naruto. "Hi Selena-san, Tenten-chan, Neji-chan."
Neji's eyebrow twitched at the suffix Naruto had added.
Selena giggled at Neji's suffix and his reaction, "Morning Naruto."
Naruto looked at Tenten and blinked a few times, "What's wrong wi-"
"Kurenai essay, " Selena simply stated.
Neji smirked, "I remember that…"
Naruto grinned like a chesire car, "Even I knew not to do that!"
"Do what, Naru-kun? You NEVER do anything," Kat teased, joining the ever growing group, sitting down beside Tenten.
"The Kurenai essay?" Sakura guessed, also joining the group.
"Yup!" Selena nodded.
"Ah…" was all that Sakura and Kat said.
Tenten finally came to her senses, "Oh… hey guys…" she said sleepily.
"Morning Tennie!" Kat said.
"Morning!" Sakura said.
They all chatted happily though Tenten just sat there, she turned and saw Kat glancing at her crimson watch every couple seconds.
With her watch she had on black skinnies with some worn spots, a white button-up rolled to her elbows with a crimson vest as well as crimson ankle socks and white skater shoes with black stripes. She had red bangles on both arms and the same colored paperclip choker as the day before with a grey tie, loosely tied around her neck and red hoops. Her hair was in 2 low braids and her eyes were lined with a small amount of black liner and mascara on the top lid.
Tenten glanced around and saw Temari approaching. She was wearing black combat boots with ripped grey skinnies, a studded belt and a silver, racerback tank under a black fishnet shirt. Her hair was in 2 angular pigtails today and she was wearing smokey liner and mascara with her skull necklace.
"Sup girlies?" she greeted, sitting beside Kat. "Y'know Kat, if you wore that outfit with stilettos instead of your skater shoes and showed more cleavage or midriff, you'd be smoking!"
"Hi… sure, Tem…" Kat mumbled, too preoccupied with staring at her watch.
"And Tennie?" She gave her a once-over. "We should go shopping sometime," she winked.
Tenten looked at Temari, "Hey, and sure… but why is she staring at her watch?" she glanced at Kat again.
"She does this everyday she's waiting fo-"
Temari was interrupted by Kat suddenly standing up and jumping/skipping down the steps.
Everyone stopped their conversations but noticing it was jut Kat, they resumed their previous conversations.
Tenten looked confused as hell. That is until she saw where Kat was running too. Itachi. Nuff said.
"Don't you just love her?" Temari said, half grinning and half smirking at Kat's antics.
"Sure…" Tenten said, she personally thought Kat was too… everything? She was a mix of hyper, happy, annoying, and other little dabbles of stuff. Quite frankly, Tenten didn't have the patience to put up with her, especially with her lack of sleep from the night before.
"Sure she can be a bit much… sometimes annoying or obnoxious, but she's too cute! She's kinda like a little kid!" Temari added.
Something suddenly dawned on Tenten, "Do you… are you… do you… do you have FEELINGS for her?" she asked.
"What? Oh, no! She's like a little sister!" Temari said laughing at Tenten's question and playfully punching her. Tenten blushed.
"So… um… why was she staring at her watch?" Tenten asked.
"It's simple. Everyday, Itachi and Sasuke get here at the same time. EVERY SINGLE DAY!"
"So she was waiting for that minute?"
"Not minute, second. It's that precise."
"So if they are even a second late…"
"She freaks out," Temari finished as the Uchihas reached the group with Sasuke giving Kat a piggyback ride.
Sasuke was wearing a plain, dark grey t-shirt with dark blue skinny jeans, black skater shoes, and black armbands on his wrists.
"Thanks Sasu-kun!" Kat said, hopping down and sitting on Itachi's lap who had sat beside Neji.
Itachi was wearing a tight, crimson tee under a black collared button up worn un-buttoned and the sleeves rolled to the elbow with black jeans and crimson skater shoes. His hair was tied in his customary low ponytail.
"Hn," Sasuke said sitting beside Naruto.
"Morning everyone," Itachi greeted.
"Heya," Temari replied.
"Uchihas," Neji nodded.
"MORNING!" guess who! (Naruto)
"Hello," Hinata and Sakura said in unison.
"Hey," Selena greeted.
"Hi Itachi, Sasuke," Tenten replied.
Itachi smiled and Sasuke glared.
Everyone looked confusedly between Sasuke and Tenten. Sasuke ignored everyone and just listened to his music. Tenten shrugged and proceeded to rest in her own lap.
Everyone eventually went back to talking. Naruto poked Sasuke, trying to get his attention, Temari and Kat talked about some new videogame, and Itachi, Neji, Sakura, Hinata, and Selena were talking about some sort of party/get together.
Tenten had just about fallen asleep when the bell rang, nearly scaring the shit out of the poor little brunette. She looked up to see that only Naruto, Hinata, and Sakura were still there.
Naruto was wearing a sky blue basketball jersey over a white t-shirt with white basketball shorts and orange basketball shoes.
Hinata had on a flowy, pale blue skirt to her knees with a white tank top and a white cardigan. She had white flats and a large, pale blue bow in her hair.
Sakura was wearing a red tunic-dress to her knees over a white collared button-up, worn as it should be. Her pink hair was in large, smooth curls with a big red headband. She had pink eye shadow and black mascara with pink wedge heels and pink bangles.
Tenten trailed after them to homeroom but immediately after entering the classroom, Kakashi was there, surprisingly, and told her to go to the office.
~!~
"You wanted to see me?" Tenten said upon reaching the office.
"Yes. We needed to change your schedule because of some conflicts," the secretary informed.
"Okay, sure… whatever," Tenten said wearily.
"We had changed most of your classes though the teachers you have are the same except for the newly added ones."
"Ok… thanks… I guess…"
"You're welcome!"
Tenten left the office to head back to class, but she realized she could drop some stuff off in her locker. But she of course got lost.
"Stupid school…" Tenten mumbled.
"Why is this school stupid?" she heard a familiar voice ask.
"It's so fricking big, I cant find anything!" she realized she was talking to someone, looked up, and saw THE MOST GORGEOUS BUY IN THE ENTIRE WORLD. AKA, Hyuuga Neji. Déjà vu much? "Oh… hey Neji…"
Today he was wearing blue jeans and a white polo with white vans.
He smirked, "Need help?"
"I'm lost."
"I can see that."
"I… can't find my locker…"
"What number?"
"Ten…"
He smirked, "Tenten's locker is number ten?"
"Yeah… and my homeroom is room ten…"
He laughed, "Well, don't hate me, but you're standing right next to locker 9999… your locker is on the other side of the school."
Tenten's jaw dropped, "For cereal?"
"Yeah," Neji smirked.
"Forget it… so where's my classroom?"
"Down the hall, turn right, third classroom on the left," he directed.
Tenten didn't remember her locker and homeroom being so far apart. Msybe being around n attractive guy impairs judgement… "Kay, thanks, see you later."
"See ya."
~!~
"Tenten-chan! Where have you been?" Naruto exclaimed the moment he saw her entering the classroom. It seemed it was a free period…
"I went to the office because they changed my schedule…"
"Ooh! Can I see it? Naruto practically exploded out of his seat and grabbed the paper. "HOLY SHIT!" he exclaimed after giving the paper a once over.
Tenten raised her brow.
Hinata looked at the paper and her eyes grew wide.
Sakura glanced at the paper, "Wow…"
"Will someone PLEASE tell me what's going on?" Tenten declared frustrated.
"You have EVERY SINGLE CLASS, besides homeroom, lunch, and fifth, WITH TEME!" Naruto exclaimed.
"Well that's not really every single class, now is it?" Tenten said a bit irritated.
"What he means is that you have a lot of classes with him, and nobody in our group has ever had this many classes with another person in our group," Sakura elaborated.
Tenten nodded, "Well… ok… but is there any other reason you guys flipped out?
"Well, I was just getting to that. Sasuke doesn't seem to like you…" Sakura mentioned.
"Why?" Tenten asked, not really caring, she could care less about the antisocial boy.
"You don't know either? I was hoping you would… cause I also don't know why…" Naruto said.
*awkward silence*
"Well… Whatever!" Tenten said, she decided to take a little nap on her desk.
1st period
After homeroom FINALLY ended, Sakura walked Tenten to their next class, History with Asuma. Tenten learned that besides Sakura and Sasuke, Temari was also in that class. After talking to Sakura on the way, she learned that Sakura was a straight A student , president of the newspaper and photography club, and she also took taijutsu classes.
"Hey Saki! Ten!" Temari exclaimed as they entered the class.
"Hello Temy!" Sakura greeted, sitting one seat away from her.
"Hey Temari," Tenten replied as she sat in the seat between the two girls.
A minute later, Sasuke came in and sat on Sakura's other side and she began talking to him, Tenten became curious as she watched the two.
"Are they dating?" she whispered to Temari, motioning towards Sasuke and Sakura.
"Huh?" Nooooooooooooooooo," she answered, drawing it out. "They're actually cousins!"
"Oh… well that makes sense… I guess…"
"Yea… so are you enjoying it here?"
"It's nice… nice people… though the school is WAAAAY to big for its own good…" Tenten thought about her run ins with Neji.
Temari smirked, "We all felt that way our first time. Imagine being a freshman."
"Ick…" Tenten made a face.
Asuma sensei walked into the classroom though nobody's conversation ceased, he tried clearing his throat, but that failed too, that is until he yelled, "WORLD WAR TWO!" THAT, got the attention of his students.
2nd period
"Teme! Sakura-chan! Temari-chan! Tenten-chan!" Naruto waved to them as they walked into their Home Ec. Class. And by Home Ec. It's pretty much cooking with an occasional other random lesson.
Sakura waved to the rest of the group as Katana jumped off Itachi's lap to embrace Temari.
"Where do we sit?" Tenten asked, looking around the classroom, if you could even call it that. The room was HUGE. It was the size of the cafeteria. The room was split into multiple sections, each section had a kitchen and a dining table with 4 chairs. A huge living/family room with a bunch of couches was in the middle of the room.
"Anywhere!" Naruto exclaimed, laying down on one of the couches with his head in Hinata's lap, she was playing with his hair.
The room had 5 of the sections for the students and a teacher's section at the front.
"Oh… okay…" Tenten said, plopping down beside Temari who was sitting beside Katana who was on Itachi's lap. Sakura was sitting with Sasuke on another couch.
A young lady walked in, "Morning everyone! I'm Shizune and I will be your teacher! Today we're just making breakfast. I will be breaking you into pairs now."
"Is this our entire class?" Tenten whispered to Temari.
"Yeah, it's a small class and it's required but you can sign up in groups. Everyone who's taken it says it's kickass!"
"Sorry we're late! Math went long!" Selena apologized, quickly walking into the classroom with Neji beside her. She came and sat next to Tenten. Neji sat in a singles seat.
"It's alright, so let's see… we have an uneven number of boys and girls, but that's okay. Let's see… Naruto, you can work with Hinata permanently."
"Yay! Thanks Shizune-chan!" Naruto cheered, sitting up.
"Kat and Itachi, obviously permanent," Shizune waved them off to a section.
Kat smiled and lead Itachi to their section. Tenten turned to Temari in confusion, "Obviously?"
Temari laughed and Sakura answered the question, "They're the schools most famous couple. Everyone knows, teachers and students. They're a shoo in for Prom Queen and King, they're practically married!"
Tenten's mouth rounded in an 'O', "I see…"
"Let's see…" Shizune glanced over them. "The rest of you will continually switch around until further notice. For the rest of this week, Neji and Selena, Sakura and Sasuke, and Tenten and Temari. Now start making some breakfast!" Shizune clapped.
~!~
"So…" Temari started. They were now pouring pancake batter into some pans.
"Hm?" Tenten replied, raising a brow but not turning away from the pancakes in front of her.
"Liking school anymore than you did the last time I asked you?"
"Like I said before, damn school is way too big for its own damn good. But other than that, it's nice… I like this class already. Not that I'm any good at cooking…"
"See anyone you fancy?" Temari smirked.
There was a little pause before Tenten quickly said, "Nope. What about you?"
"Nah… I'm flying solo," Temari grinned "I get enough romance from Itachi and Kat…" Awkward silence. That sounded weirder than I meant it to…".
~!~
At the end of the period, Tenten and Temari had either burned or undercooked their pancakes. Katana's pancakes looked like scrambled eggs while Itachi's were pretty nice looking. Neji and Selena made nice hash browns and eggs of all sorts. Hinata made eggs and perfect pancakes and Naruto just scarfed them down. Sasuke and Sakura had made some fancy omelet with mushrooms, peppers, onions, cheese, ham, and LOTS of tomatoes. When Kat had seen the tomato overload, she had literally screamed and pestered Sasuke about his tomato obsession. Tenten personally enjoyed tomatoes, not so much peppers and onions though. It seemed Sasuke thought alike, he was picking out the peppers and onions from his bit of omelet.
~!~
3rd period
On the way to third, Kat continued to bug Sasuke about his liking of tomatoes. Temari saw that Tenten was getting annoyed with Kat and started talking to her about something else. Tenten and Sasuke both gave Temari a look of gratitude and she waved it off. Tenten opened her mouth to say something to Sasuke, but he immediately turned away and began walking faster.
~!~
4th Period
Third period had passed by uneventfully, or at least as uneventful as having Jiraiya as a science teacher can be. Tenten at this moment was freaking out.
"NOOOOOOOOO, Temari! Don't you dare leave with that damn, freaking, ice berg!"
"Tenten, chill! He doesn't bite!"
"Yeah, but he glares to intense that it's like lighting bolts are coming out of his eyes. And I SWEAR his eyes turn red…" she explains, turning to the subject of her fear who was currently being occupied by Katana.
"Psh. C'mon, Tenten. You're such a wimp!"
"I'm not a wi-"
"Then just go to class, bye Ten. I have my own class to go to. C'mon, Kat," Temari dragged a pouting Kat away from Sasuke.
"Hey Sasuke…soooo… Calculus is it?" Tenten suggested nonchalantly.
He just turned around and began walking. Tenten sighed and trailed after him… like a dejected puppy.
~!~
Lunch
"MUUUUAAAAARRRRGGGGHHHHH!" Tenten extended her upper body across the cafeteria, staying there while making her strange, zombie like noises.
"Sup, Tennie?" Naruto asked, sitting down across from her. She got up so he could put his tray down on the now unoccupied space.
"I hate my liiiiife!"
"Whyyyyyyyy?" Naruto inquired.
"The spawn of the Satan of the chicken world."
"Hahaha! That's a good one!" Naruto laughed. He took out a pen and wrote it down on his arm for later use.
"So anyways..." Naruto started just as he finished writing the new "nickname" down on his arm. "What did Teme do this time?" he grinned inquisitively.
"Nothing! Absolutely nothing! NOTHING!"
"What's wrong with doing nothing...?" Naruto was VERY confused.
"By nothing, I mean NOTHING. Not even hi. Not one single word or syllable. Not a single sound or anything."
"Not even, hn?"
"Not even that." Tenten sighed.
"Oh... that's a problem..." Naruto began stroking his imaginary beard.
"What's a problem?" Sakura came and sat beside Naruto.
"Sasuke is pretty much pretending I don't exist," Tenten explained.
"Why?" the pink haired girl asked.
"Nobody knows! That's the thing. I didn't do ANYTHING to him!"
"Well... let's think of a plan..." Naruto said mysteriously.
"Plan for what?" Temari sat down next to Tenten.
"To figure out what's going on with Sasuke that's making him act like Tenten is invisible and doesn't exist," Sakura explained.
"Ah..." Temari didn't really know what to say.
Itachi came and sat down on Naruto's other side, smirking at the latest update of his younger brother's behavior.
"Hey! Do you have any ideas?" Sakura asked the older boy. "He IS your younger brother."
"In case you forgot, Itachi doesn't care what goes on in Sasuke's mind," Neji informed them, sitting down beside Hinata who had sat on Tenten's other side. Selena sat down beside Sakura.
"Guys, it really doesn't matter to me," Tenten said.
"Then why were you making zombie noises?" Naruto asked.
"Cause I felt like it!" Tenten snapped at him.
"Okaaaaay..." Naruto felt that his life might possibly be in danger so he, for once in his life, shut his big mouth.
"Well, whether you care about it or not. We are going to get to the root of the problem!" Sakura exclaimed, going into her reporter mode. "If only I could write about this investigation in the school newspaper... but Sasuke would probably murder me or something..." she mumbled to herself.
Selena was the only one that heard Sakura and she laughed, "We'll all help. After all, I've always secretly wondered what goes on in that little emo child's mind," Selena suggested.
"I'm in!" Naruto exclaimed, putting his hand in the middle of the table, anything to exploit his arch nemesis.
Both Sakura and Selena looked at it and soon put their hands in too. Temari put her hand in mumbling something about blackmailing Sasuke. Neji put his hand in and people guessed it was his competitive streak with Sasuke. Hinata quickly put hers in after Neji. Only Tenten and Itachi had not put their hand in. Itachi soon realized his girlfriend would drag him in when she found out anyways, so he sighed, putting his hand in. They all looked at Tenten.
"What? Do you expect me to just walk up to him and be all, 'Hey, jerk-face, why do you hate me?'"
"Well... no... but you can still put your hand in... team effort. We're doing this FOR you anyways," Sakura said.
Tenten mumbled something along the lines of them doing it for their own personal reasons but put her hand in anyways.
"SPTFOWSHT (pronounced Spit-Fow-Shit) on three," Naruto exclaimed, "One..."
"Spitfowshit?" Temari asked.
"S-P-T-F-O-W-S-H-T. It stands for: Secret Plan To Figure Out Why Sasuke Hates Tenten."
"How original," Neji said sarcastically.
Naruto rolled his eyes, "Like you could think of a better name. Anyways, on three, One... Two... three..."
"SPTFOWSHIT!" they all exclaimed, some more enthusiastic than others.
5th Period
Sakura had left lunch early so it was just Tenten. She was hoping she was heading in the right direction to get to her 5th period class. But since Sakura had ditched her, the only other people she knew in that class were Kat and Sasuke, but they didn't have the same lunch as her and all the hallways seemed to look the same.
"Tennie-chan!" Tenten saw Katana weaving through the sea of students towards her. "How'd you get all the way over here? English is NOWHERE near here!"
"Then why are you here?"
"Sakura sent me! Sasuke and I saw her on the way to class. She and Sasuke went ahead and I was to find you! Mission, SUCCESS!" she struck a pose.
"Oh… ok… cool… so… where IS our classroom?" Tenten asked.
"A few hallways down…"
"Well that's vague…" Tenten mumbled to herself.
"So how has your day been?" Kat chirped.
"Hell."
"And why would that be?"
"Who do you think?" Tenten replied, her voice dripping with sarcasm.
"Me?" Kat's lips began quivering and her eyes became shiny.
"No! Nonononononono! Of course not!"
"Oh… ok! Then who?"
"Your boyfriend's brother."
"Right… Sasuke… he doesn't like you…"
"Do you know why?" Tenten quickly responded.
"Well… I think he mentioned it at lunch…"
"What did he say?"
"I don't know… I was too busy texting Tachi-kun," Kat said happily.
Tenten face palmed and sighed. He probably said it knowing she wasn't listening.
6th Period
Tenten followed Kat and Sasuke to the lounge for free period. Selena was already there, but Neji and Itachi were nowhere to be seen.
While everyone was settling into the couches, Itachi and Neji came and set large grocery bags onto the table. Everyone stared in confused.
"What…?" Selena started.
"Stuff," Neji stated.
"Well obviously…" Tenten grumbled.
"Neji and I went out and got some root beer and cups," Itachi elaborated.
"Oh, fun! Awesome!" Selena exclaimed.
"Thanks, Tachi-kun!" Kat said, looking up at him and holding his hand. He leaned down and kissed her.
"ROOT BEER POOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG!" Naruto burst into the lounge, a big grin on his face.
"Don't you have class?" Neji asked.
"Well Sasuke," Tenten forgot Sasuke was even there until now. "Texted me that we you guys were gonna play. So…. Yeah…."
"How did you know?" Selena asked Sasuke.
"Kat told me," everyone looked at said girl.
"Tachi told me!"
"I told her I was going to be late and she asked why."
"Why didn't you just say you were buying stuff?" Selena asked.
"She made the face…" Itachi said quietly.
"Whipped," Sasuke coughed, a large smirk on his face.
Tenten and Naruto were the only ones that laughed. Selena and Neji merely smiled, while Katana had a big grin. They looked to Itachi for a response.
Itachi smiled, "Is being whipped a bad thing?" Sasuke frowned in response.
"Ah…. NO!" Naruto replied. "I'd do anything for myyyyy Hina-channnnn!" Sasuke glared at Naruto for supporting his nemesis. Or…. One of his many nemesis...es…..
"Are we gonna play or not?" Temari asked.
"When did YOU get here?" Naruto asked, bewildered.
"When Sasuke called Itachi whipped," she grinned.
"Oh…"
"Are we all gonna stare at me, or can we play now?"
"Let's play! But since we have so many people… we'll have a tournament!" Katana explained.
"Man! This is gonna be a full on PARRRRRTAY!" Naruto was getting excited.
"So what are the teams gonna be?" Selena asked.
"Do I wanna be on Sasuke's team… or Tachi's team…" Katana was saying to herself.
Tenten looked at Temari in confusion.
"She actually knew Sasuke first. Believe it or not, they were friends. They met in grade school. She was the very first person who broke Sasuke's shell. Then came Sakura. But anyways, she started going to his house more and more, and eventually met Itachi. They started going out when she was in 7th grade," Temari explained.
"That doesn't answer why she can't decide which team to be on, wouldn't she just choose Itachi?"
"Well remember how Sasuke was giving her a piggyback ride this morning?"
"Uh… yeah…"
"Well if she wasn't with Itachi… she'd be with Sasuke… you could say she chooses Sasuke out of guilt sometimes, but she genuinely is close friends with both of them."
"I guess I get it now…"
"I think I'll be on Sasuke's team this time!" Kat finally announced. Sasuke smirked.
"Okay then, how about… Kat and Sasuke, Neji and Selena, Itachi and Naruto, and me and Ten?" Temari suggested.
"Sounds good, let's boogie!" Naruto exclaimed.
There was a flurry of cups being put out and the sound of pop cans opening and liquid being poured into cups.
"Round one. Kat and Sasuke vs Naruto and me, and Neji and Selena vs Temari and Tenten," Itachi pulled out two ping-pong balls.
"Alright! Let's kick some Neji butt!" Temari grinned at Tenten.
"I'm not gonna go easy, just cause you're my cuz, Selena," Tenten smirked.
"Same goes to you," Selena replied as Neji got his game face on… which wasn't much of a change.
"Hey, Itachi! Let's kick your little brother's two butts! The one where it should be, and the one on his head!" Naruto started laughing. "Oh! And you're going down, Spawn of the Satan of the Chicken World!" Naruto yelled, reading off his arm.
Sasuke quirked a brow.
"C'mon, Sasu-kun! Let's do this shin-dig! How DO you play…?" Kat suddenly asked.
Itachi smirked, "Kat, you DO know how to play, quit messing with my poor, weak, little brother. And I'm not going easy on you just cause you're my girlfriend."
"Meh, well neither. Am. I," Kat was getting serious.
"It is on like Donkey Kong," Naruto grimaced.
Let the games begin!
7th Period
"That was SOOOOOO AWESOME! Though I can't believe Me and Itachi lost!" Naruto exclaimed.
"It's Itachi and I, Naruto," Sakura corrected, walking over to the group loitering in front of the locker rooms.
"We totally kicked butt! Ne, Sasuke?" Kat asked, walking beside him while holding Itachi's hand.
Sasuke and Kat ended up winning, much to Sasuke's delight at beating Naruto, Neji, AND his older brother.
They all talked for a few more minutes before someone spoke up about the upcoming class. "Should we actually be going into the locker rooms to change?" Tenten asked.
"Yeah, I guess, see ya later guys!" Selena waved.
~!~
"C'mon lazybums! Run FASTER!" the teacher yelled at the group of students running laps around the gym.
"WE'RE. RUNNING. AS. FAST. AS. WE. CAN!" many students yelled, breathing heavily.
"WELL YOU HAVE 2 MORE LAPS! GO! GO! GO!"
After the two laps, the students all collapsed in the middle of the gym.
"What are you doing? Stand up! We're going to stretch now!" and that started the most difficult stretching that Tenten had ever done.
Let's just say that seventh period wasn't super fun.
After School
"Oh my holy god! I'm SO glad that's over!" Sakura yelled with relief as everyone walked towards the parking lot.
"Meh, Tachi-kun, I'm tired!" Kat complained. "Carry me?" but before Itachi could pick her up, Sasuke was suddenly kneeling in front of her. She got on him and he gave her a piggy back ride.
"I'm tired too, y'know…" Tenten suggested. She wasn't expecting anyone to offer her a piggy back, but waddya know? Neji offered her one. And naturally, she accepted it.
All was good and dandy, though she missed the look of sadness on Selena's face.
"I think we should all go out for ice cream or something," Temari stated.
"That would be nice…" Hinata agreed, wiping her brow.
"Ice cream it is!"Selena exclaimed.
~!~
They managed to find a ride for everyone to get to the park where they were now sitting and eating ice cream while doing their homework on the soft, lush, green grass.
"I don't wanna do this anymoreeeeeee," Naruto complained.
"Naruto-kun, you're almost done, you just have one more page of math problems, you can do it," Hinata tried.
"Will you help me?" he grinned.
"Sure," she replied with a smile.
"Hey, can I borrow someone's calculator?" Tenten asked.
"Sure," Neji said, handing her his. Their hands brushed and Tenten quickly withdrew, blushing.
Selena saw their mini exchange and frowned a bit.
Eventually everyone finished and people slowly left. Selena, Tenten, Neji, Katana, and the Uchihas were the last ones there and there was some awkward silence in the air, but the sunset was beautiful and they just watched.
"Hey, Tenten, it's getting late," Selena stated.
"Yeah, we should go. Bye guys," Tenten waved.
As the two girls walked away, Kat turned towards Neji, "You like her."
Neji raised a brow, "Selena?"
"No, Tennie-chan."
Silence.
"So you do?" Itachi asked.
"Maybe."

Hey, journal/diary, It's me, Tenten.
So I'm guessing you wanna hear about my second day of school, huh? Well let's just say it was… strange, tiring, and irritating. I shall start from the beginning of my day.
First of all, I got barely any sleep cause I was up writing a stupid essay that is never collected… my so called friends could have told me that sooner, like BEFORE I started writing it!
I also got a schedule change and now I have almost all my classes with a jerk that for some unknown reason, hates my guts. I also had another run-in with Neji, it was pretty much a déjà vu!
Nothing interesting happened, aside from the normal ignorance from Cube, until third period, Home Ec. That was fun… I made pancakes! They weren't the best, but I've made worse. I'm not exactly the best cook…
I'm getting tired so I'm not gonna get too detailed. Sorry!
The next important part of my day was at lunch, when that idiot, Naruto, decided to start a plan called shitflowerpot or something like that. It's basically everyone is gonna "attack" Sasuke, so to speak, to find out why he hates me. They really don't have to do it… they're all doing it selfishly, for their own personal gain… sigh…
Then, fast forwarding to 6th period. For free period we played root beer pong. I was paired with Temari and then Katana and Sasuke won the entire thing. Temari and Naruto ditched class to play.
Then came PE, and that was HELL ON EARTH! We had to run 20 laps around the gym and 30 minutes of hot yoga! I usually like gym, but today was just… not… okay.
After school we all went for ice cream at the park and we did homework. It was nice… speaking of, I just realized I still have Neji's calculator… I'll explain tomorrow, Auntie is yelling at me to go to bed… so I guess I'll be going!
But in conclusion, wait. Forgot to mention, Selena was oddly quiet on the ride home from the park… weird huh?
Anyways, I learned a lot about my new friends today and stuff like that. Anyways, Welcome to my World!
Signed,
Tenten
