Chapter four

.[Neji].

I held the paper in my hand that Temari gave me. Thank god she was in my math class. She was a pretty smart girl but at the same time annoying. She was straight forward and god knows what she'd say if she just bumped into you. Tenten was at my side messing around with Kiba. She didn't seem happy. See seemed to be faking alot of it. I'd pull her to the side at the pizza stand and finally tell her what I've been wanting to tell her. I wonder what her reaction would be. Happy? Excited? Hysterical?

I laughed under my breath. Tenten eyed me, "Neji? What are you laughing about?" I stared at her, she was really plain, but really pretty. Soon we reached the pizza place. Tenten jumped up on the counter, like she always did and rang the bell. "Table for....Kiba...Neji, Hinata, Lee, me...4!" a red hear with freckles came to the counter and ask Tenten to please get off. She got off with a smile. He walked us to a table and we all sat down. I sat down first and as Tenten was going to sit on the other side i pulled her down next to me.

Her eyes went wide while Kiba and Lee simply smiled. Hinata was sitting next to Kiba, quiet as ever. She was half...my cousin but we never really hung around each other. She was different from me and my crowd but she sure loved to hang out with Kiba. Kiba was eying the pin ball machine. He had been hooked on it for about a year, ever since we started to come here he's been playing it waiting for the day when victory will be his. I rolled my eyes. To me that game was nothing. Nothing compared to what game I was going to be playing at.

Kiba stood up, "Today! I'm going to beat that pin ball game!" he announced. We all sweat-dropped. Like we wanted to know. He pointed at it. "Look! Its like staring me down!" he glared at it, "Today! I will over power you!" he hit his chest and it seemed as though he hit it a little hard because his eyes swelled up. I smirked as he ran over to the game, tossed in 2 quarters and was gone. Hinata join him soon after to cheer him on an boast up his confidence. It seemed to work in the beginning but died off because he was losing more then winning.

It was just Tenten, Lee, and me now. Tenten challenged Lee to a game of arm wrestling. She always was one to think she was stronger then guys. Heh, that was cute. "Alright!" Lee pulled up his sleeve and placed his elbow on the counter grabbing a firm hold on Tenten's tiny hand. Tiny? I looked at it then at her whole body frame. She was tiny wasn't she? I think I had been admiring her mind more then her body to even notice. My eyes dragged over her body before I knew it she has spotted me. I turned away fast. She smiled and lost to Lee.

Lee jumped up and decided to challenge Hinata. He said something about quiet people being strong. Anything to make him leave me and her alone. Tenten sat there looking at her hand that were placed on the table. "Neji." "What?" "That paper...what was it?" I smirked, whats that what was keeping her from being so quiet. "Answers." Tenten showed her real smile and gently nudged me, "I could of helped you." Heh, she could of but it would mean me and her in her room...alone and I couldn't have that.

Slumping down, "Tenten, I have something to tell you."

.[Ino].

I taped my fingers on my legs. Mom and his dad decided to leave us for a few hours so we, me and this bum, could regain out friendship. We had been sitting there, quiet, for the past 12 minutes. No words just breath. I had a shitty day at school and he couldn't even TRY to cheer me up?! Well fine. Hes just going to have to listen to me. "I had a crappy day at school today you know that? And then my mother tells me your my...fiance." Shikamaru tilted his head back like he wasn't even listening. "Are you hearing me?" I slammed me hand on his leg, "FIANCÉ! Do you know what THAT is?!"

He gave me a annoyed look but I didn't care, I wanted to know the meaning of this! It was going right! I didn't want a fiancé at the age of 16! Who in their right minds would!? "I thought they were kidding." I blinked, "Kidding? Did you see their faces light up when they told us?! Or did your laziness happen to kick in and you just dint care that me being engaged would ruin my reputation?!" He stared at me long and hard. I figured, he noticed how mature, and strong willed I had gotten since the last time he saw me but was I wrong. He got closer to my face, a inch away and slurred out, "Your. Troublesome."

I blinked and stared at him dumb founded. Troublesome? What kind of crap was that? "Do you WANT to be engaged?!" He was now back into his lazy position, "Not with someone like YOU." I grew angry, "And what THAT supposed to mean!?" "It means....man Its troublesome arguing with you. I'm keeping quiet." Arg, being engaged and my best friend going after my guy and my mom, his dad and POSSIBLE him being happy about this wasn't doing the job. I stood up and marched straight up to my room. I slammed the door as hard as I could.

BOYS! I flung my body on my bed and grabbed my phone. Sakura had to hear about this! I started to dial her number then remembered me walking out on her. I put the phone down. She properly didn't even want to talk to me...

.[Sakura].

I had stayed after school to help set up this play that was going to be performing in a couple of weeks. I was trying out for the lead role since Sasuke had been giving the lead role of Romeo. Yes, he was Romeo and if I could see it anyone else could! I looked around for Ino. She had really left me. Here. To mess up. She didn't want me to get the role! What was her problem! "Sakura, your turn." "Huh? Oh!" I ran up to the front of the stage. Sasuke was there standing amounst a amount of girls.

They seemed to be clobbering him. Well that was good. Now her wouldn't notice my try out. I started to shout out the lines as natural as I could. The it hit me. Sasuke WAS looking at me. My words started to get messed up at first but then he turned around and started to walk away with Temari. TEMARI!? I finished up and the teacher was clapping. "Congratulations Sakura! You got the part of Juliet!" I smiled really big. "Thank you!" Now I could finally get to hang out with Sasuke! Then I saw him and Temari. Walking out. She seemed to be talking to him and all he was doing was listening.

I ran off stage and ran up to him. "Sasuke! Seems like I will be working with you soon in the play!" Temari eyed me then looked at Sasuke, "Your working in this play? What about us? And..." she looked me up and down. Temari was a year or two older then us, a lot of the girls in school envied her. She was as stubborn as a bat and didn't take crap from no one. Not even Sasuke. Even when everyone else did, she was the one who didn't. Sasuke was chewing on a tooth pick. He eyed me with his hands stuck in his pockets. "Great." Great? What the hell does he mean by that?

Temari smiled as Sasuke walked away. "...Heh. Good luck working with him. By the look that you give off, you wont even be able to get him to listen to you." soon after she walked away with him. What did she mean by that?

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

A/n: AHEM! I just thought about something today. Sasuke and Temari...anyone ever think of them as a couple? There both...stoborn, straight forward with things...there alot alike. I think...I'll write something on them. One day..when I like Temari as a character instead of a new rival to Ino! Haha, you know the ShikaTemari thing, ::Is totally against it:: Eheh. I luv Ino! Anyways Review please!
