Today was hell.
Hinata was too evil to really be her usual awesome self. She kept using me to get Neji pissed off and what not. THIS WAS NOT MY BESTFRIEND!
Neji had not tried to hide his attempts at flirting and fan girls kept trying to kill me. With little success but it was still annoying!
….I had to do something about their fighting because I was becoming too involved in their little game. I felt used by my best friend and like a piece of meat to this guy!
"Ten-chan, Neji is staring at you again. He really likes you." For the first time that day I was detecting something from Hinata other than hate: Jealousy, disappointment, and… a sense of loss?
"Hina-chan. How about we forget about him and keep living life as we usually do? By doing something dumb and strange for no apparent reason, other than because we felt like it." We both began to do our own interpretations of what a true evil laugh should be like.
It's good to have my friend back.
Like always we got startled looks. Except for one pair of gray pearls that looked rather amused by our antics. Neji did not look at Hinata and I gave him a glare and my most powerful evil laugh in my arsenal.
He did not look frightened; rather, he seemed about ready to burst out laughing. This guy had some nerve. In controlled circumstances I would go up to him and say something to wipe that smirk off his face or kick him in the balls.
However, considering his strained relationship with Hinata and what I had just told her, I knew I could not do any of those antics and decided instead to ignore him.
…Luck was not on my side. Hinata and me had all the same classes and it appeared that, with his higher influence, Neji had gotten as many classes as possible with me…thus with Hinata too.
This was going to be an interesting year. They would forever glare at each other and I would have both of their affection. This was a serious stain on me considering that they were relatives and lived under the same roof.
I kind of felt bad for Harold, Hinata's mom, since she had to deal with it at home where there was no "witnesses." Neji was very persistent for someone with such pride.
I began to wonder, did he really like me or was he doing it to spite his cousin… I couldn't be sure. He would make sure to ask me out any chance he had… the idea that I had turned down the most of the male population was also a possible push factor.
Conquer the unconquerable, what a load of bull shit. I just did not like superficial jerks. If they were going to ask me out it would be because we had a decent friend ship that had developed into a romance, without that intention in mind from the begging.
"Kidfast, am I kidding myself? I want life to be fun but there are also serious moments. I don't think of the future because I feel like things will work out if I just give it my all to those things that I like and to those things I am interested in because I find them fascinating.
Give it to me straight Doc, we iz about to graduate. Should I try to compromise with society and orient my life style according to the 'real world'?"
"Hmmm, that is a good question. In all honesty I think you're doing just fine. You are smart so no worries about that stuff and you can be serious when needed. You do volunteer work any time you can.
There are millions of people that go by society norms and their life sucks because they are never happy. You, on the other hand, are relatively happy and accept pain as a part of life.
Remember when my younger sister died. I was so devastated. You helped me get through that. You have had a lot more pain to deal with than most people and you still manage to smile."
I stayed quiet for a moment thinking over her worlds. Sure we were both silly, hyper, and strange teenagers but we thought about what we did unlike some of the socially accepted kids.
"RING, RING, RING! I think it is time to sing the telephone song." We both began to dance in a circle around a rose bush nearby.
Hinata continued: "RING, RING, RING! We are calling today to inform you of a delay in today's cinnamon delivery." Yup, these where the moments that made everything ok .
"Hello, have you received the message? Today is wear Pink underwear day. Don't you forget to clean the pancake dish! Hinata!" I singed loudly.
"The elephant is calling! It broke its left leg when dancing with the cat!"
*Neji POV*
I watched them dance and sing around…was that a rose bush? Haha Tenten was something else. That girl was not only H-O-T; she was also secretly loved by every man that had seen her, but she was also envied by everyone for her ability to be herself without worry.
She interested me a lot, but my stupid bitch of a cousin was probably telling her lies of me. That was probably the reason she had not said an immediate yes when I asked her out.
I would fix that little problem. They looked close but I knew how looks could be deceiving. Knowing Hinata the way I do I can probably pressure her into pushing Tenten away and when Tenten is devastated I can calm her worries and she will fall to my feat.
Tenten deserved better friends than my slow cousin. She probably only pitied her.
"Hinata I know your just out to get me. I will avenge my father. You shall never be happy with my sweet Tenten. She deserves better than you."
