Title: All I want for Christmas is…
Summary: All I want for Christmas are two of my teeth and Neji Hyuuga. HighSchoolFic: Tenten tries taking the advice of Sakura, Ino, Temari, Hinata, and even Kiba and Naruto to try to get Neji to ask her to the 'Merry Christmas Ball'.

"Frankly, they won't shut up about you."
"Oh… Sorry?" I tried to smile.

Another 35 minutes passed ending the horribly awkward lunch and I was on my way to my locker, noticing I still had an apple turnover in my hand.
Xoxo
I sighed on my bed.
"Geez! Kiba and Naruto are such asses! What jerks! Not telling me what they told Neji…Kun."
My face reddened as I thought about the suffix on his name.
"Why can't I say his name? It's embarrassing the way I can't do it!" I threw my pillow at the wall and laid face down my bed, almost suffocating myself.
Xoxo
Walking down the street extremely tired I eventually ran into Hinata. We walk to and from school almost every day excluding when we have school meetings to take part in.
We said our quick 'hellos' and I told her about my day after school. The rest of our walk was in silence.
"Is it weird for Hinata if I tell her I like Neji… A lot?" I sighed causing Hinata to start asking questions.
"You like him, don't you?" Hinata looked up at me and smiled.
I blushed and opened my mouth to protest.
"Don't worry, Tenten!" she flashed that gorgeous smile of hers, "It's not weird and no matter what happens," she paused. "He's a guy, and us girls have to stick together."
I felt like I was about to cry. Something about Hinata always made me want to hug her and never let her go.
"Hinata," I paused and looked at the ground, "Thanks."

"Where is that gorgeous hunk of man?" I questioned myself.
"Who?" a voice came up behind me.
I groaned at the voice. "N-No one, Ino. Just thinking out loud!" I motioned her to leave until I noticed Sakura come up behind her.
"Ne, Ino-Chan, I think Tenten's looking for something. Or should I say someone?" the pink-haired girl chipped into our 'conversation'.
"I think so too!" Ino giggled wildly.
I groaned again wanted them to leave. I never was fond of the two. Not that they couldn't hold their own in a swimming competition, they just cared more about winning and looking good in their swimsuits rather then team spirit.
"I-it's nothing!" I turned to leave, cursing at my stuttering that oh-so-obviously gave me away.
I sat down in my desk in my next class and the two girls just had to sit in the ones beside me. I hated the fact that this class was split between the two grades.
I sighed again, hoping they wouldn't pry.
"So who is he?" Ino said smugly, placing her hands under her chin.
"What makes you think it's a guy?" I said in rebuttal.
"The fact you said 'gorgeous hunk of man,'" Ino replied, almost confused.
"Shit," I thought. "I-I didn't say that! I said," I paused. "I said nauseous drunk woman! Referring to Tsunade-Sama, of course!" I smiled at my own quick thinking.
The rest of class it seemed Ino and Sakura wanted a battle with me just to decide on if that was what I really had said.
I rubbed my temples leaving the classroom and spotted Neji leaving the classroom next to ours. I smiled as I overheard Ino and Sakura talking behind me.
"Wasn't that the new guy?" Sakura said.
"Yeah! I haven't seen a full frontal yet, but he looks yummy!" Ino replied.
I twitched at the use of 'yummy'.
"Hmm… Do you think he'd go out with me?"
"Psh! Please! No guy would want to go out with someone with a forehead as big as yours!" I could hear them laughing as I continued to walk casually in front of them.
"Isn't his name… Niji? Or something to that effect," Sakura said wondering.
"It's Neji," I corrected her angrily in my thoughts.
"It's Neji!" Ino corrected her. "He's Hinata's cousin! That means he's super rich and must have high standards. All Hyuuga's do, excluding Hinata of course!" Ino and Sakura laughed at Hinata's choice of Naruto, and continued talking about irrelevant things.
I stopped in front of my locker and hit my head against the metal. "Ino's right. Neji wouldn't want a girl like me. He seems so refined and used to good things. I mean he was home schooled."
"Hey."
I looked up to find the guy the gorgeous hunk of man right beside me. My eyes widened and I could tell my face was about to burn up.
"Tenten-San, right?" he said coolly.
I nodded my head unable to speak.
"Hinata said she won't be able to walk home with you today."
My heart sank at the fact that he didn't ask me to 'do it' right there in the hallway with him, but rose again because he talked to me.
"Oh! Okay! Thanks, N-Neji!" I said awkwardly smiling.
He looked at me and I quickly added a "San" suffix to the end of his name.
He nodded his head and left.
I placed my hands on the sides of my locker and repeatedly bashed my head into it.

I woke up in the nurse's office. Apparently I had hit my head more times then I thought.
I walked over to the small bathroom and saw a large unattractive band-aid in the middle of my forehead.
I checked out with Kabuto, and left down the hallway. School was over and I could hear the rain hitting the school from all sides.
After grabbing my bag and thankfully bringing my umbrella to school, I strolled to the doors of the school to see Him. The gorgeous hunk of man.
Xoxo
Yes. That's going to be his new name. "Gorgeous Hunk of Man". :]
This chapter is a tad longer for you.
I had originally thought this chapter was going to be something different, but that'll be Chapter 5. :]
So be happy, half of it is written! Haha
This is Marta Uzumaki! See Ya!
