Oh, and sorry this chap is on the short side!
Math went uneventful for Tenten. She had sat next to Midori and all they did in class was meet the teacher, Izumo Sensei, and receive their books. Tenten's next class was not much better. She had Language Arts with Lee and she was not pleased to see the boy Kai was in the class along with them, but thankfully he was hitting on another girl. And to top it off their teacher was weird. 'Who wears sunglasses inside? Ebisu Sensei was definitely out there. But who am I to talk, I am living with two weirdoes.'
When Language Arts was over Tenten said goodbye to Lee until they would see each other again at lunch and she headed off to the library for study hall. When she got there she looked around to find a place to sit. The room had several large tables and some small tables for four. Sitting at one of the small tables Tenten saw the boy Lee was bugging in homeroom, and he was sitting by himself again reading a book. Then Tenten saw Kai, and he was walking towards her with a smile on his face. 'Crap! I don't want to talk to him! He creeps me out.' thought Tenten in a panic. Then her feet started to carry her in the direction of the boy from homeroom despite what her mind was telling her. Before she could stop herself she was standing at the boy's table and he was looking up at her with a slightly confused yet somewhat amused look on his face.
Tenten turned around and saw Kai still walking towards her. She then turned back to the boy from homeroom and said,
"Um, could I sit here I really don't want to sit with him." said Tenten pointing over her shoulder. The boy looked past her and saw Kai as he stopped dead in his tracks with a puzzled expression.
"Do whatever you like." said the boy looking back down at the book he was reading.
Tenten quickly sat down across form the boy and looking for something to do she took out a book she found at Gai's to read if she found she had nothing to do. 'Never thought I would even touch this thing but I'm glad I packed it last minute today! Well at least that Kai kid isn't bugging me and it's not like this guy is going to talk.' thought Tenten.
She opened her book and started to read, but she was interrupted three pages into her book.
"Neji." said the boy not even looking up from his book.
"Excuse me, did you say something" said Tenen looking up at him. 'Wow, he talks.'
"My name, it's Neji, Neji Hyuga." said the boy as he looked up at Tenten as if trying to see how she would react.
"Um, hi, my name is Tenten. It's nice to officially meet you Neji." said Tenten with a light smile.
"Hnn" said the boy looking back down at his book. 'Well looks like he is done talking. Oh well, at least I know his name now.' thought Tenten looking back down at her book trying to find the spot on the page where she had left off.
"You and your friend, you're both new here correct?" asked Neji not looking up from his book. This caused Tenten to slightly jump because she was not expecting Neji to talk to her again.
"Ah, yea, this is our first day here. It's a very nice school." replied Tenten.
"Yes it is. Your friend, he is quite, loud. Does he always behave in such a manor?" Neji said still looking at his book.
"Lee, yea he has always been like that. I have come to accept it and just live with it, but lately it has been worse, I think Gai is rubbing of on him." said Tenten trailing off into her own thoughts.
"Gai, as in Gai Sensei the High school Gym teacher?" asked Neji glancing up from his book with a slightly interested expression.
"Opps, and yea, do you know him?" replied Tenten 'How does Neji know Gai?'
"Yes I do, he is one of the Senseis in charge of the martial arts club, and now that I think about it, your friend Lee and Gai Sensei look quite similar and are both very loud." said Neji looking back down at his book.
"Yes, I live with the both of them and it gets hard to put up with at times, but it can't be helped." replied Tenten looking back down at her book once again trying to find where she left of reading. 'Okay I am getting tired of reading the same line!'
"Hnn" was all Neji said in return as he continued to read his book, as Tenten read hers.
The rest of study hall Tenten read her book and she slightly jumped when the bell rang. Both Neji and Tenten put their books back in their bags and stood up but when Tenten turned to the door she saw Kai standing there looking at her. Tenten froze in her tracks. 'What is with this kid? Does he ever give up?'
"You do know it is now time for lunch?" asked Neji looking back at her over his shoulder.
"Ah, yea I know, but I think I am going to stay here for a while." Tenten said not taking her eyes off of Kai as he stood by the door waiting for her. Neji then nonchalantly glanced in the direction Tenten was looking and spotted Kai standing by the door looking at Tenten.
"Come on, lets go, if you get too the lunch room to late you will have to stand in line for quite sometime to get your lunch." said Neji walking towards the door giving Kai an intense glare without Tenten noticing.
"Um, okay." said Tenten following Neji. 'Why is he being nice?' thought Tenten.
As Tenten and Neji got closer to the door she saw Kai turn around and leave much to her relief as she let out a breath she didn't realize she was holding. 'Its not like he scares me, he is just so creepy I don't want anything to do with him! Well at least he left.' Tenten told herself as she followed Neji to the lunch room.
When they got there Tenten was amazed to how many kids there were in there. She knew the lunch room was big, but this was just a mess! 'It looks like a jungle in there!' thought Tenten as she just stood in the doorway. Suddenly Tenten felt someone pull her into a hug from behind, and she knew who it was right away.
"Lee, let go! I can't breath!" she managed to get out.
"Oh Tenten! How has your day been so far? Come on Midori wants you to meet her friends!" said Lee letting Tenten out of his hug and grabbing her arm and pulling her through the mess of people leaving Neji behind until they stopped at a large table filled with people.
"Midori-chan! Tenten is finally here!" shouted Lee over to Midori who was talking to a girl with pink hair.
"Tenten, gee what took so long! Anyways, I would like to introduce you to everyone." said Midori.
"Hey everyone! This is Tenten, she is new here like Lee, so why don't you introduce yourselves!" shouted Midori over the table to everyone.
"Hi Tenten! Remember me?" shouted Naruto.
"Of course I do Naruto. I met you this morning, I don't think I could forget you that fast." said Tenetn giggling.
"Okay I was just checking." said Naruto with his dopy grin on his face.
"Hello! My name is Sakura Haruno. Nice to meet you Tenten." said a girl with short pink hair and green eyes.
"Hey, I'm Ino Yamanaka. Welcome to Konoha!" replied a girl with long blond hair pulled back into a high ponytail, who had baby blue eyes.
"H-Hello, my name is Hinata Hyuga. I h-hope you will like it here." said a girl with short blue hair that was so dark it looked black, who had the same pupil-less eyes as Neji. 'Neji and Hinata must be related. Maybe they're brother and sister, they have the same last name.' Tenten thought as she almost missed the next person's introduction.
"Hey the name is Kiba Inuzuka! Nice to meet ya Tenten." said a wild looking boy with messy brown spiky hair, with twin fang like teeth poking out of his mouth. He also had red fang tattoos 'maybe they're just painted?' on both of his cheeks.
"Nice to meet –chomp- you Tenten. –chomp- My name is Choji Akimichi. –chomp-" said a boy as he was munching on a bag of chips. This boy was, well to put it nicely, bigger than the others but he wasn't really fat either. He had thick light brown hair and had swirls on his cheeks.
"Shikamaru Nara, nice to meet you." said a boy quite lazily. He was slouched back in his char and had dark brown hair pulled back into a high ponytail and was somehow spiked up in the air witch kind of reminded Tenten of a pineapple.
"Hnn, hi my name is Sasuke Uchiha. Welcome to Konoha I guess." said a boy who had black spiky hair and black judgmental eyes to match.
"Shino Aburame." said a boy with a very low voice. He had spiky brown hair and he hid his eyes under small round sunglasses. 'Okay what's with the sunglasses at this place?'
"Um, nice to meet you all." said Tenten with a smile.
Then everyone went up and got in line for lunch and Tenten was surprised to see there were two places to get you lunch. 'Well it makes sense. This is a big school after all.'
When they got back to the table Tenten saw Neji sitting there eating his lunch.
"Its you!" shouted Lee pointing his finger at Neji. Neji didn't even bother to look up at him. Ignoring Lee Tenten just sat down next to Hinata who she had been talking to in the lunch line. By the time everyone had sat down Lee had finally lowered his finger and sat down on the other side of Tenten and next to Midori.
"Lee, Tenten, this is Neji Hyuga. Him and Hinata are cousins." said Midori gesturing to Neji.
Neji just glanced over at Midori and gave her a slight glare.
"It is Nice to properly meet you my youthful friend!" shouted Lee.
Neji's glare then shifted to Lee and intensified.
"Dang Hyuga, calm down already!" joked Naruto.
"Hn" said Neji as he went back to eating his lunch.
'Well this school is defiantly weird but hey, I'm weird too, and it looks like I have made some new friends.' Tenten thought to herself as she looked around the table and smiled.
It had been three weeks since school had started and it was going great for both Tenten and Lee. Lee and the other guys were better friends after the martial arts club started and they all joined. Hinata and Tenten had become close friends after the first week of knowing each other and they sit together in the library after school and wait for both Lee and Neji to get done with training so they would each have someone to walk home with. But most days Hinata and Tenten would spend there time talking instead of doing there school work.
Much to Tenten's surprise Hinata really opened up to her after a week and a half or so and doesn't stutter as much and is a little louder but reverts back to her shy self when around the others but Tenten didn't mind, she wasn't much of a talker at lunch either. She much rather listen to everyone else and only talk when she was interested. Homeroom was going better for Tenten because thanks to the martial arts club Neji didn't seem 'as' bothered by Lee's actions but Tenten now had to sit in between them to keep the peace. Kai is still bothering Tenten so she does her best to keep her distance, but he always manages to find her when she is alone which is starting irritate Tenten to no end. Tenten has sat with Neji in study hall since the first day but he doesn't seem to be bothered by her presence. But Tenten's favorite time of the school day was by far lunch when she got to see everyone.
Once she got her lunch she went and sat down next to Hinata as she always did and immediately heard Naruto and Sasuke having there daily back and forth.
"Teme!" shouted Naruto
"Dope!" Sasuke would shout right back. It grew old quick so Tenten started a conversation with Hinata.
Soon everyone was at the table and several conversations were filling the table and Sakura had gotten Naruto and Sasuke to shut up witch was a great relief to Tenten she was growing quite tired of there actions.
"So Hinata, do you have much homework so far today?" asked Tenten.
"Um, well no, not very much so far. What about you?" asked Hinata.
"Yea, I have some math problems to finish up but I got most of them done in study hall today." said Tenten
"Well that's good." replied Hinata with a shy smile.
"Yep so let hope neither of us get much more today!" said Tenten laughing.
"Yes, I would like that for a change." stated Hinata.
Then before Tenten realized lunch was soon over and they all headed out for the rest of the school day.
"So Hinata, what are your plans for this weekend? Anything fun?" asked Tenten.
"Um, no, not really. My father will be gone on business again so it will just be Neji, my younger sister Hanabi, and myself home this weekend. So nothing exciting." said Hinata in a quiet tone just loud enough for Tenten to hear her.
"Wow your father is going to be away again this weekend! Wasn't he gone last weekend as well?" asked Tenten
"Yes, he was. He is the president of our family's corporation so he is gone a lot, but I don't mind. I'm quite use to it by now." replied Hinata before she took a bite of her rice.
"Oh, I see, well then you should come stay we me some night so you can get out of the house, and so I'm not the only girl in the house for a change!" said Tenten with a giggle.
"Your right Tenten. That would be great!" she said with a shy smile.
"TENTEN! HOW HAS YOUR YOUTHFUL DAY BEEN GOING?" shouted Lee from behind her. 'Does he have to be so loud ALL the time! And great he is starting to use the word youthful more often! He needs time away from Gai.' thought Tenten as she turned her head to see Lee and Neji walking up to the table where her and Hinata were sitting.
"Hey Lee, Neji, and Lee my day is going fine, same as at lunch when you asked." said Tenten in a joking manor witch caused Hinata to quietly giggle and Neji to smirk.
'Yes, I'm off to a great new beginning.'
