Chapter 8: Uh - oh!
Temari glared at me as I sighed.
"Come on Tenten. Tomorrow is Monday! If you can't flirt properly with another guy how do you expect Neji to get jealous?"
I smirked at her. "Temari, Neji is not going to get Jealous of me." I said to her.
That was her million dollar plan. As she told me before. To make him Jealous. She though that if I simply batted my eyelashes and flirted with some other guy Neji would really give.
"Yes it is! Didn't you say that when you told him you liked him you liked someone, he got all uncomfortable and his voice got even more serious?" She argued.
"Yea but he's a boy! No boys like to talk about relationships. And it's Neji. Can his voice get anymore serious?"
"If you being so pessimistic plan S.N.H.F.T.S is NOT going to happen."
I scowled at her. "Can you please stop calling it that?"
"Can you please try being cooperative."
I ground. ""Tem, maybe this has gone too far. I mean if you think about it, I'm the bad guy." I said to her.
Temari stayed quiet as if to think of what I said.
Last night before I fell asleep I had done a lot of thinking my self, and all about and his girl.
What if I did win. What is he did feel the same way? Just imagine how happy I'd be, and how utterly miserable Sakura would be. She's feel just like I did, the day I found out about them.
And I felt pretty damn bad. I don't think I'd like to see anyone feel that way. Even her.
And then there was the thought of rejection. What if he didn't feel the same?The only thing I'd end up accomplishing is making a fool out of my self, and ruining our friendship.
Can I honestly risk that?
"Tenten." Temari's voice snapped me out of my thoughts. She came up to my face and put her hands on my shoulders. "Your right Ten, this has gone too far, that's the exact reason why we can't back out of this."
I flinched when she said Ten. She only called me that when she was angry. (Isn't it funny how Neji calls me that all the time?)
"But I haven't done anything out of the ordinary, I mean, we can, we can, " I tried to come up with something quick.
"Tenten, why all of a sudden are you trying to get out of this?" She asked me.
"I just realized that it's no big deal, I mean I don't even like---"
I was silenced by Temari's hand. "You can't let the fear of rejection stop you." She told me.
I had no clue how she did that. How she could read me like a book.
"I-it's not that." I lied, cursing at the stutter, She narrowed her eyes at me."W-ell it's not just that!" I continued. "I mean think about Sakura. How would she react if she knew what we were doing? I don't want anyone to get hurt"
She rolled her eyes at me "I warned you before we started this that being the other woman sucked.
I dropped my head. "I know you did, but I wasn't thinking of the con---"
This time I was interrupted by Temari shaking me. "WE ARE NOT GIVING UP NOW. I worked to DAMN hard for you to just give up like that! We are DOING THIS!" She yelled at me.
I sighed., And gave up. There was no way getting out of this. And hey I might as well try to get his attention.
I rested my head on the cafeteria table.
Today had not been a good day.
First of all, My plan to make Neji jealous is failing. This morning while I was trying to flirt with Naruto ( Can you say desperate?) I fell because these stupid gladiator shoes have absolutely no support! I fell on my ass right in front of him AND Sakura.
Then, while I was walking with him, I pulled my wedgie right in front of like the idiot I am. I have no clue why it didn't stop and think he would see me., my dumb ass thought he wouldn't notice but guess what? He did. He rose his eyebrow at me and smirked.
Not to mention all the creepy looks I've been getting from the boys. Even the teachers have been looking at me weird. I growled.
"T-tenten" I heard a voice say. I looked up to see Hinata.
"Hey princess." I said smiling meekly, calling her by her pet name I had given her. It was obviously because of her rich family. But, I didn't mean it to offend her or anything. I though it was cute.
"Y-you d-don't h-have t-to c-call me that." She said to me.
I was about to answer until I heard Naruto say. "HELLO! I am right here!"
"Hey there Naruto." I said sighing. They both sat across from me.
I saw Hinata starring at me with worried eyes. She dropped her eyes as soon as she realized I noticed her.
I laughed don't sweat it Princess." I said to her.
"You seem really down today Tennie! " Naruto said loudly.
I sighed again. "Yea I know. I just feel a little under the weather. I'll be fine by 7Th period." I said lazily resting my head on the lunch table again. The rest of the lunch period went by slow.
I ended up falling asleep.
I didn't dream of anything though (which I hate). All I remember is closing my eyes and the next thing I knew Naruto was poking my arm.
"Boy Tenten, you sure are a deep sleeper." He told me as I opened my eyes. I stretched my arms. "I was for sure the bell was going to wake you but you didn't budge."
I got up "Thanks Naruto." I said yawning. I gave him and Hinata a goodbye smiles and started walking to the hallway.
I was still half asleep which explains why I bumped into someone.
I bent down to grab their book. "My bad." I said handing them the binder.
I met with the green eyes and froze. Sakura was standing in front of me and ... smiling at me?
"No it's totally okay I'm a bit of a klutz myself!" She said smiling at me. "Your Tenten right?" I nodded at her and smiled.
"Let me tell you, I love your shirt. I was going to buy one like that until this blond chick totally snatched it from my hand!" She told me still smiling.
I hope to GOD i did no know who that blond person was.
"Thanks." I said smiling at her. "My friend gave it to me a couple days ago." Not entirely a lie!
She touched my shoulder and it took all my strengths not to flinch. "And don't worry about what happened this morning. I know how tough gladiator shoes are to walk on. It's like they have no support." She said laughing. I starred at her blankly and blushed.
"Thanks" I said laughing also.
"Well I'll see you later 'Kay?"
I nodded my head at her and smiled. "See ya."
I stood there as she walked away. I was dumbfounded. This girl that I thought was pure evil wasn't evil at all. She was actually sweet.
Maybe Neji had reason to like her.
Or maybe he was a total Idiot.
I turned around and could not believe what I saw.
Sakura Haruno, Neji's precious girlfriend was kissing Sasuke Uchiha.
I felt my mouth drop. My stomach did a flop and I turned around and quickly to walk away.
There was no way that happened.
How could she even do that? It's ridiculous. She acts all nice to me knowing I'm Neji's best friends and then goes and kisses a boy that is definitely not Neji.
And who in their right mind would even thinkabout heating on Neji? That's like, like replacing Gold for silver.
I kept walking not watching where I was going until once again I bumped into a someone.
"Are you serious?" I said out loud bending over too pick up the math book they had dropped.
"it'sokay Tenten, I got it." I froze and looked up. I could recognize that voice from anywhere.
"Neji" I said meeting his gaze.
I had so much to tell him, but the question was should I?
To be cont.
