CHAPTER 4: Yes or no? Neji's reaction

"Yes, or no?" Sasuke looked at me.

"…" I blinked. "Can you repeat the question?"

"Yes or no.." Sasuke.

"The other question…" I bit my lip.

"Will you be my girlfriend?" Sasuke asked me. "Okay. I know it's a little sudden, and that it really seemed that we hated each other at first. I mean, it's only the second day at school… but…"

"Yes." I answered.

"Yes?" Sasuke was taken back by how quickly I answered.

"Yes, I'll be your girlfriend." I smiled. I knew, that I have taken a liking to Sasuke Uchiha. But there was something pulling on my heart…

INNER TENTEN: Yay! We have a boyfriend!

Tenten: I thought he'd never ask…

INNER TENTEN: Wait. What about Neji?!

Tenten: What? What about Neji…

INNER TENTEN: What about his feelings?

Tenten: You're not implying that he has a crush on me are you?

INNER TENTEN: You haven't noticed?

Tenten: …. I love him as a brother… just as a brother…

Sasuke hugged her.

"…" I hugged him back.

"That's great…" Sasuke smiled.

Neji's POV.

Where the hell is she? Neji thought. They got out of school at 3:00. It was already 3:20.

"Hey Neji!" The girl with the long pretty purple hair walked in front of him and smiled.

"Hi." He responded.

"Do you wanna walk home with me?" She smiled. Neji avoided eye contact.

"Nope." Neji responded. (So harsh… .)

"What? Why not?"

"Do I even know you?" Neji opened an eye and looked at her.

"I'm like, in ALL of your classes. I'm Hitomi Mito. Remember?"

"… Yeah…" Neji responded.

"Why don't you want to walk home with me?" Hitomi questioned him.

"I'm waiting for someone." Neji replied.

"For me?" Hitomi blushed.

"No." Neji said. "Someone else…"

"Oh.. Tenten, right? You guys are really good friends aren't you?" Hitomi smiled.

"Yeah." Neji simply answered. "She should be coming soon." Hitomi nodded.

"O-Oh. Okay. Uhm, I'll see you tomorrow… okay?"

"Hn." Neji responded. Hitomi smiled and nodded and walked off.

So… I see Neji likes Tenten. She's not even that pretty… I am though. Maybe.. I still have a chance… I do have a chance. Neji's going to be mine. Hitomi smirked to herself. Neji sighed and leaned against the wall. He heard Tenten's laugh. He looked and his eyes widened. Tenten, his Tenten.. Was holding Sasuke's hand.

TENTEN'S POV.

What's going on… Neji thought. "What took you so long, Tenten."

"I was… I mean…." I took my hand from Sasuke. "Sorry. Sasuke-kun. I promised to walk home with Neji." He nodded and walked off.

Sasuke-kun? Neji thought. I turned around to see Neji walking off already.

"W-Wait!" I called after him. I ran and caught up to him. "Why didn't you wait for me?" He kept walking. "Neji!" I called to him. He turned his head and looked him. I shuddered at the sight of his cold eyes. "N-Neji?" He shook his head and kept walking. "What's wrong with you?"

"What's up with you and that Uchiha. I saw you holding hands." Neji looked at me.

"He… He asked me out." I said, almost whispering it.

"What?" Neji questioned.

"Sasuke asked me to be his girlfriend…" I said slowly. I looked at Neji. He had a painful look in his eyes. Neji's heart just shattered.

"And?"

"I said yes to his offer…" Tenten told Neji. Neji's heart was not only shattered, but it was stomped on until it was nothing but mere dust…. "Neji. Are you okay?"

"No. I'm not okay." Neji answered. "I hate the Uchiha."

"Wh-Why?" I asked him.

"I just do." Neji responded. "Why don't you walk home with him?"

"B-Because.. I promised you, Neji." I stuttered. What's going on? Why is Neji acting so cold to me? Is it because he… does like me?

"I know what you're thinking, Tenten." Neji stopped walking. I walked in front of him.

"N-Neji." I stuttered his name. I heard his knuckle crack and before I knew it, Neji pinned me to a tree. "Wh-What are you doing?" He had a blank expression on his face. What happened to you… Neji…?
