"Ow!" Weighed down by two huge suitcases and dragging a huge duffel bag behind her, Tenten stumbled as she stubbed her toe on the edge of the door frame. She managed to wrangle them down the steps.
The morning was fresh and dewy, with puffy white clouds skating above in the beautiful blue sky, but it might as well be raining as Tenten crammed her stuff in the trunk of the Volvo c70. Good-bye beach, bye shopping, bye sleeping till noon, bye hanging out with Sakura and Ino. And mostly, bye Neji. She had texted him that she was being kidnapped. Rescue me! She had typed, without much hope.
"Tenten! Did you remember your hiking boots?" her mother's voice called out from the house. The woman had no right to be so hyper at 7 in the morning. "The terrain gets pretty rocky up there!" Her mother sounded like she was relishing the thought. "I did, Mom!" Tenten sang out through gritted teeth. "Well, we are leaving in just a few minutes. Dad is just checking the air-conditioning one more time."
Suddenly Tenten heard a car engine behind her. She whirled around to see Neji stepping out of his silver Lamborghini murcielago. "Hey, babe," Neji cooed. He was still wearing his clothes from the party, and his hair was all matted on one side, sticking up on the other. She could see sleep sand in the corner of one eye as he bent to kiss her forehead. "You look horrible," she noted. "Have you been home yet?" He scrubbed the side of his face with his hand. "No, I crashed on Lee's couch. Hashi is going to kill me when I get home. I can't believe I'm up this early. But I couldn't let you leave without saying goodbye" He leaned down to kiss her just as the front door slammed. Tenten clutched to Neji.
"Don't let them take me!" she whispered. "I'm going to die up there!" He kissed her forehead again. "I'll call you every night." The garage door opened and Neji looked up. "I'd better go."
Tenten watched forlornly as he backed down the driveway and floored the accelerator. As he sped away, an arm appeared out of the driver's window and flapped a few times. She lifted her own hand in response and kept it up until the car had disappeared around the corner.
'Okay!" Mom came out of the house. She seemed to have recovered her good humor now that they were almost on their way back to the Sound. "Got all your stuff in the car?" she asked Tenten. "Yep." Dad bustled up and slapped his hands together. "Everyone go to the bathroom?"
Oh. My. God. Was this entire summer going to be like this? She looked up at the sky, hoping to fight the overwhelming feeling that her world was shrinking to a nonexistent. She climbed into the backseat and buckled her seatbelt, planting her sneakered feet on a box of dishes. "Let's just go already, okay?"
Her parents exchanged a classic our-teenage-daughter-is-such-a-pain-in-the-you-know-what glance. Good, Tenten thought. We're all on the same page. I think you guys are a pain in the ass too. She closed her eyes and leaned her head against the leather seat back. She could hear a double bam-bam as her parents got in and shut their doors. Maybe she could sleep the whole way.
Peaceful silence filled the car as her dad wound through the streets on Konaha till they finally left. Tenten drifted away, her head lolling on her shoulder. "Tenten." Her father's voice jerked her awake. "Huh?" A trickle of drool had reached her chin. She wiped at it furiously. Her mom twisted around to face the backseat. "Daddy and I want to talk to you about this summer." Tenten groaned. Her dad went on. "We're going to need you to help us and do some work on the vineyard grounds. You're starting at zero responsibility scale. This vineyard is very important to me and your mother, so we expect you to take this seriously.
"Umm?" Tenten tuned them out when her purse started buzzing. She slid her BlackBerry Curve out of her bag. Chat request from Ino. She held it down by her side and pressed Start Conversation.
Ino-How are you?
Tenten-Awful, of course-what did you expect?
Ino-Sakura and I miss you already! We are going to Ichiraku ramen 4 brunch.
Tenten's stomach grumbled at the thought. Ichiraku ramen had the best ramen in town.
Tenten-Thanks for that. I'm probably heading off to eat gruel all summer
Ino-Going to the beach later-It'll be weird without you
Tenten-I know. All I want is to hang out with you guys, sleep in, and see Neji. But I'm going to be slave labor for the next two months
Ino-Poor girl! Maybe Sakura and I can come rescue you!
Tenten-That would be great. I don't think you could get past the prison guards though
Ino-Sakura and I will be thinking of you! XOXO!!
Tenten pressed End Conversation, heaved a gusty sigh, and stared out the window at miles and miles of pine trees; rocky, sandy soil; and distant bluish hills. They passed a vegetable stand with a sign in the front that read Tomatoes $1/LB.
Of course, Tenten had seen pictures of the Sound but she has never been there before. She had never even seen a vineyard before either and she was going to be living at one for two months. She leaned a little closer to the window. The land was completely covered in trees and some vineyards every few miles. Low stone walls lined the two-lane road. Hand-lettered signs reading Wine Tasting Today and South Sound Winery flashed by. Occasionally, they passed a palatial gate with the name of the vineyard spelled out in iron letters at the top. Past these gates were long, groomed gravel driveways lined with towering trees.
Tenten settled back into her seat, comfortably wiggling her shoulders into the cushy leather as she pictured a massive stone villa, surrounded by acres of manicured lawn. She'd be in a clingy black dress, pouring wine for a clutch of sophisticated vineyard visitors. "This is our newest blend, a merlot-burgundy," she imagined herself saying. "It has very strong legs." Everyone nodded, impressed with her knowledge, and slipped delicately from their long-stemmed glasses. Maybe this won't so bad after all, she thought as she dozed off. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
