Hey Guys! I'm SOOOO sorry! It's officially been exactly a year since my last update. And again I promised I'd update by Sasuke's birthday. Speaking of…
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SASUKE UCHIHA! 3 I love you~ (even though you're kind of a jerk)
Also, please review when you're done reading the chapter!
Lastly, this chapter is dedicated to MaximumX777 for sending me a PM about this story, asking if I was planning on updating. The conversation really helped get the brain juices flowing~
Without further ado, I give you…
Chapter 4: August 29, 2011The rest of Tenten's first week of school went by normally. Or at least normal for her new standards. Naruto was still hyperactive, Hinata was still quiet, Temari was still spunky, Katana was still childish, Itachi was still… Itachi, Sakura was still knowledgeable, Selena was still perfect, Neji was still gorgeous, and of course Sasuke was still ignoring her. It was now Saturday and there were supposedly some "Super special awesomely exciting plans" or at least according to Katana there was.
"Ten! Are you ready to go yet?" Selena asked, leaning in her doorway. Selena had on grey, frayed, denim shorts and a turquoise v-neck t-shirt. Her hair was styled into a long French braid at the back of her head. She had white flip-flops.
"Almost, Selena, just gotta find my phone!" she replied. "Damn phone, where did I put you?" she mumbled to herself.
"Well I'll be waiting in the car."
"Tenten! Why is your phone in the freezer?" her aunt yelled a few minutes later.
"Um… I have no idea!" Tenten replied, running downstairs to the kitchen. Tenten was wearing light blue skinnies with a dark green v-neck t-shirt that had a lime green stripe from her left shoulder to right hip. She also had on green converse while her hair was in a simple ponytail.
"Is this a habit of yours? Misplacing items in ridiculous places?" her aunt sighed.
"Hehe… yea…" Tenten scratched the back of her head and blushed. "It must've snuck in there when I was getting ice cream last night…."
"Well Selena said you were going to the mall today. She's been waiting the car."
"I know, bye Auntie, see you tonight," Tenten said goodbye. The mall isn't THAT much fun, she thought to herself
~!~
"Yes it is!" Kat exclaimed. "You get to shop and eat! And then shop some more!"
"But shopping gets boring after like… ten minutes! You go in, get what you need, and leave!" Tenten argued.
"So you're gonna leave after ten minutes?" Kat's eyes got large and shiny.
Tenten sighed, "No… I'm just saying that I get bored quickly."
"Well you won't today, cause I have exciting plans for the mall! We just have to wait for the others to arrive," Katana said glancing around.
Beside Katana stood Itachi who was wearing dark blue jeans with a dark red button up with the sleeves rolled up. His top few buttons were unbuttoned while his hair was as it usually was. His feet were adorned with red skater shoes.
Next to him was Sasuke, stoic as ever. He had on a dark blue v-neck t-shirt with his family crest on the back along with grey jeans and black skater shoes.
Selena was talking to Neji who sported a brown polo with jeans and white vans as well as Hinata who was wearing a lavender peasant skirt with a white tank top and light grey cardigan. On her feet were white flats while her hair was held back with a white butterfly headband.
Tenten watched as Kat ran off to greet Temari.
The blonde was wearing dark grey shorts with fishnets and combat boots. She had on a black tube top with more fishnet underneath. Her eyes were sporting heavy makeup and her hair was in four spikey ponytails.
Kat herself was sporting black jean shorts that head white lac peeking from the hem with a grey plaid, button-up that was half buttoned, showing a red tank top that was lacy on the top. There were also checkered suspenders and red, knee-high socks with gray and white, plaid, skater shoes.
"Hey, Tennie," Temari grinned.
"Hello, Temari."
"I think it's time I spiced up your outfits, since we're at the mall," she winked.
"Nooooo! Temari! You'll make her look weird, she isn't like you! Iwill help you out!" Kat proclaimed proudly.
"Guys, this really isn't necessary."
"But I want to. Besides, it's good practice!"
"For what?"
"My future profession as a designer or consultant of some sort," Kat gave a huge smile.
"Just it her do it, Cuz, you'll love it," Selena suggested.
"Sure, fine," Tenten gave it. Stupid peer pressure. Second makeover since her move.
"Yay! We'll do it after the special surprise I have planned."
"Hey guys!" The all turned to see the source of the shout. Of course it was Naruto, he was accompanied by Sakura.
Naruto was wearing orange basketball shorts with a plain, white v-neck t-shirt and orange basketball shoes.
Sakura had on white skinny jeans with a red-v-neck t-shirt. On her feet was a pair of white pumps. Her hair was up in a braided bun. She still managed to look pretty professional even in this outfit.
"Sorry we're late; this idiot here took forever to heave the house. If he didn't live with me I would've been here earlier," she glared at the blonde boy.
"Sorry!"
"You live together?" Tenten asked.
"Yeah, our parents are super close so they decided to buy a house and live together, it's pretty crazy," Sakura informed.
"Oh… that's cool, I guess."
"Anyways, here's the list, Kat," Sakura handed Katana several pieces of paper.
"So what're these exciting plans?" Temari brought up the reason they were all there.
"We're going to have a scavenger hunt!" Kat exclaimed.
"We're splitting into teams of five and then finding as many items or doing as many things on the list as we can, taking pictures to document them," Sakura elaborated.
"This sounds like fun, what are the teams going to be?" Hinata asked.
"Me, Kat and Itachi, and Hinata and Naruto will be one team," Sakura stated.
"So the other team is me, Tenten, Selena, Sasuke, and Temari?" Neji clarified.
Katana nodded, "Here are the lists," she handed each person a list. "Let's meet at the food court in two hours."
"Alright. Well… let's go!" Naruto exclaimed, leading his group away.
"I guess we should start too…" Tenten suggested, glancing over the list.
"These are really weird items," Selena commented. "Rigatoni and Bowtie pasta, a blue octopus, green fedora, a blue, misshapen item, green pants, pink vest, purple bowtie, checkered boxers, spikey platypus, rainbow pigeon, what is this stuff?"
"You can't expect anything less when Kat's involved," Sasuke mentioned.
~!~
"Haha, you're pretty cool yourself."
"So , wanna trade numbers?" Tenten heard Temari ask an unfamiliar guy as she and the others on their team were coming out of a store where they had found a green fedora.
He had shaggy dark green hair and he dress quite similarly to Temari in terms of the punky stuff. Not quite Tenten's type. Not at all.
"Actually…" he drawled, sliding closer to Tenten. "Can I have YOUR number?" he winked. Temari raised a brow, seeing what Tenten was going to do, as she was a little frustrated that she had just been turned down in the blink of an eye.
Neji who was standing beside Tenten seemed to tense up a bit, "Hey-" he began to defend Tenten.
"No, I got this," Tenten interrupted. "Look... dude…" she got closer to him, but he raised a brow.
"Yeah?"
She stepped back, "Uh… Look… my friend is CLEARLY interested in you, and you have the nerve to hit on her friend, right in front of her? Besides… you're not even my type!" she finished awkwardly.
The guy just scoffed and walked away. Neji chuckled a bit from beside her while Temari came over and nudged her, "Hey… thanks for that."
"Oh my gosh, Ten! I can't believe you did that!" Selena exclaimed, well, c'mon, we still have TONS of items to find on this list!"
Tenten checked behind her before following Selena's lead. Sasuke was behind her and she caught him giving her a strange look before he quickly turned his head and walked past her to catch up with the group.
~!~
"Hey guys!" Sakura waved to them as Tenten's team met with Sakura's team.
"How did you guys do?"
"I'd say we did pretty well. Right, Neji?" Selena asked.
"Good enough to win," he smirked.
"Well we'll see about that," Naruto grinned.
"Why don't we head to someone's house to review the pictures and eat some food?" Itachi suggested.
"We could go to my house, I mean, me and Neji's house," Hinata offered.
"Sounds good, Tenten hasn't been there ever," Selena agreed. "You'll love it!" she told Tenten.
"Wait! What about shopping for Tenten?" Kat reminded them.
"Oh… right…. We can do that first… I guess…" Tenten sighed.
~!~
"Yes! We won!" Naruto cheered. "YOU'RE A LOSER, SASUKE! A LOSER!"
"Hn," Sasuke grunted.
Itachi was smirking at his younger brother, "Well, Brother, how does it feel to be a loser? Not that it's the first time…"
"C'mon guys, stop being mean to Sasuke, it's not his fault..." Sakura said.
Tenten looked around the Hyuga mansion once again. It was HUGE. There were butlers and maids in every room and everything looked so expensive. They were in Hinata's room which looked like the room everything princess would dream of having. There was a humongous plush bed and a gorgeous vanity. Her closet was twice the size of Tenten's entire room and there was an entire portion of her room that was essentially a living room which is where they were now. Sakura, Hinata, Naruto, Kat, and Itachi had won, while She, Selena, Neji, Temari, and Sasuke had lost. They had found two items more than her own team had.
"So… whaddya wanna do now?" Naruto asked everyone.
"Eat," Tenten said. "I'm STARVING!"
"You JUST ate a whole pint of ice cream…" Selena pointed out.
"So? Shopping makes me hungry and miserable… and when I'm miserable I eat… so my hunger is double of what normal hunger is."
"Ooh! What'd you and Kat buy?" Sakura asked, intrigued.
"A ton of shirts and some pants…"
"Is that it?" Hinata asked.
"No… she made me buy…. Some skirts and a few dresses," Tenten grimaced with disgust.
"It can't be that bad, I'm sure you look amazing in them, hun," Temari assured.
"But they aren't comfortable to wear. I prefer just jeans and a t-shirt, not skirts and jewelry and all that stuff."
"Anyways," Naruto said, changing the subject. "Pizza anyone?"
~!~
"It smells so amazing!" Tenten exclaimed as they walked into the restaurant and began pushing a few tables together.
"What are we going to order?" Itachi asked.
Itachi was at the head of the table with Kat on his left. Next to Kat was Temari, Tenten, then Selena. Sakura was at the other head of the table with Sasuke on her left. Beside him was Naruto and then Neji, who was next to Itachi.
"How about… a Hawaiian, a Meat Lover's, a Half Cheese, Half Pepperoni, and a Vegetarian?" Sakura suggested.
"Sounds, delish!" Selena agreed.
"Anyways, who else thinks that we should all have a sleepover tonight?" Temari asked.
"Ooh! I LOVE sleepovers!" Kat exclaimed.
"We could do it at me and Sakura's place!" Naruto said.
Neji turned to Tenten, "You're in for a surprise, cause our sleepovers are not just any normal sleepovers," he warned with a slight smirk.
Tenten smiled a bit and sighed. Great… more crazy.
~!~
After dinner, everyone went home to get whatever they needed for the sleepover before they would all meet back at Sakura and Naruto's house.
"Hey, Tennie, have you called your parents since the school year started?" Selena asked while driving.
"Yeah, I called them after the second day."
"How are they?"
"They're doing good… why are you asking me this?"
"Just trying to make conversation…"
"Kay… well, thanks for being so nice to me since I've been here. I was secretly expecting you to completely ignore me, not welcome me and introduce me to friends and stuff," Tenten confessed.
"Aw, of course, Tennie. I've always secretly wanted a little sister or something! And, here we are!" Selena said, parking in the driveway. From the outside, the house looked like any ordinary multistory house. But upon entering, it was quite cluttered, but still clean and without being messy. There were pops of bright color among the modern design with little bits and pieces of more antique furniture. It was quite a mishmash of different styles, yet it still worked out in a weird way.
"Hey! Everyone's already here! We're all in the game room," Sakura welcomed them, taking their bags up to her room before leading them to the game room.
"Hey… where's the bathroom?" Tenten asked. "I'm gonna change into my pjs first."
"It's right across the hall."
"Great, I'll meet you guys downstairs," Tenten said, taking her overnight bag with her into the bathroom. When she got in, she locked the door and looked at herself in the mirror. I'm not THAT beautiful… what does everyone see in me?
August 29, 2011 9:41 PM
Hey, Journal!
It's me again, Tenten (of course).
This is going to have to be short and sweet because I'm supposedly just changing into my pajamas. I'm at Sakura and Naruto's house for a sleepover. Neji warned me that these things are just any ordinary sleepovers, so I'm excited, yet nervous.
Earlier today we went to the mall for a scavenger hunt and later a second makeover thing (Kat took me shopping). Anyways, the scavenger hunt was great, though the items were really weird! During the hunt, Temari was hitting it off with this guy (who was most definitely not my type), and when I got there, he starting hitting on ME! So I did my best to tell him off… but it ddn't go exactly as I had hoped… At least I didn't trip afterwards…. I just wasn't as stern as I had hoped. Oh well.
Oh! And after that ordeal, Sasuke was giving me a funny look. He looked kinda surprised? Kinda… I'm not sure how to describe it exactly… But either way, he still hasn't said a word to me…
Well, I should be going. I'll write again later tonight maybe… or rather… early tomorrow morning… most likely.
Anyways, can't wait to see what the rest of my night will be like….
So… Welcome to my World!
Signed,
Tenten
Yay! An update! I hoped you guys enjoyed it. It was a little hard seeing where I wanted to go with the rest of the story, and it's different than I planned in terms of format. Originally I was going to write a chapter for EACH DAY. But that didn't work out…. As you can see.
Please please please, review! If you do, I might actually update in less than a year…. And maybe even less than a month. If you're lucky, a few weeks! =O So you should review!
Please give me any comments or suggestions you have for the story! Also, just PM me if you ever want to. PMing is fun~
Again, I'm sorry that this update was so delayed. I was hit with major writers block, and during the school year, I was quite busy (as it was my junior year). So…. Please forgive me!
Anyhoo,
Thanks for reading,
I love you all!
Sincerely,
Kupcake~
