(I'll cut the crap here coz I'm too lazy to type it)
Chapter 3: Developing Feelings
Tenten rushed to a Café shop. She works there for about 3 hours then she goes home to do her home works. She did her tasks and went home as soon as she can. As she was on her way home, she happens to pass by a huge mansion; the Hyuuga mansion. Neji happens to be looking out his window and saw her pass by.
"Tenten?"
The next day…
Tenten went to school a little early today.
She went to her locker and got her books. She proceeded to her class. Just then, Neji walked in. He sat on his chair and starred at the clouds. Tenten went over to him and sat beside him.
"Hey." Tenten greeted
"Hn"
"Fine. Be that way." She faced the other side and started talking to herself.
Tenten talking to herself…
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing… It's just that SOMEONE over there is being abnormally quiet again. Not to mention being a SOCIAL BLOCK OF ICE!"
"Why?"
"Oh I don't know. Maybe he's just being his STUPID –self."
Tenten exaggerated the word to the max.
Neji faced her with an annoyed look.
"Are you insulting me?"
"Would you leave me alone! Can't you see I'm talking to myself and trying to avoid –cough- THE SOCIAL BLOCK OF ICE." She shouted the ending catching everyone's attention.
"Hn" Neji continued starring at the clouds through the window.
Tenten talking to herself…
"He thinks I'm insulting him." Tenten whispered to herself but loud enough for Neji to hear. Neji's right eyebrow started twitching.
"Maybe he's guilty of what I said." Neji couldn't take this anymore.
Neji and Tenten shouting at each other…
"Stop that!"
"Stop what!"
"Talking to yourself!"
"Do you want me to talk to you instead!"
"No!"
"Then what do you want me to do!"
"Keep-
"talking" Tenten cut him off
'Here she goes again!'
"about how great- (Neji)
"you are at being- (Tenten)
"annoying" (Neji)
"like you." (Tenten)
"who's cute" (Neji)
"but stupid" (Tenten)
"and dumb-" (Neji)
"-bo is your favorite character?" (Tenten) (It's the stupid elephant with big ears who flies.)
"N-
"Why Neji! You're already 16 and you still like that flying elephant with big ears? I mean we all liked cartoons when we were young but please Neji. Grow up!" She said smirking at him. All of the students in the classroom heard what Tenten said.
"Why Tenten, I never knew you knew about that elephant so much you even know the details about him." Neji retorted
"How'd you know he was a boy? (Neji said Him) You searched (surf) the net (internet) just to get details about his gender?"
"You can get details on him on the net? How'd you know? Tried it before?"
"Don't you remember? You taught me- (Tenten)
"how to- (Neji)
"cook." (Tenten)
"Cook? What's cooking have to do with a stupid elephant?"
"I don't know. That's the first thing that came to my mind."
"You broke the chain. Meaning?" Neji asked smirking
"You might have won the battle but you haven't won the war!"
"-sweatdrop-" Kakashi entered the room..
"What are you doing here Kakashi-sensei?" A student asked
"Iruka-sensei is absent so he told me to substitute but then I have my P.E. class so I want all of you to change into your P.E. uniforms then get out to the soccer field. We'll have a joint class with the seniors."
Soccer field…
"Looks like will be playing your favorite game." Neji said to Tenten.
"-smirk-"
"Don't be so confident. There are a lot of good soccer players here."
"I'll beat them. You'll see."
"Wanna bet?"
"If I win, you treat me ice cream. If you win, I'll cancel your slavery."
"Deal."
Beginning of the game…
"Okay so boy's will occupy the other soccer field while the girls stay here. But first, warm up. Girl's, start kicking balls." (DON'T THINK GREEN! BWAHAHAHA!)
All the boys left the field and occupied the field next to it. The girls lined up in one line. Tenten stayed at the end. The girls started kicking. Only few had goals. Finally, it's Tenten's turn. Neji saw this and stopped his exercises to look at her.
Tenten took momentum, then hit the ball with all the force she had. Since she's Chinese, she studied kung-fu. So the kick was pretty hard. (You know when Kyosuke is kicking the ball from the anime "Hungry Heart"? That hard.) The ball swooshed through the air. Kakashi watched wide eyed( He's still wearing his mask here). The senior boys watched in amazement. The goal keeper was too shocked, she didn't even move. The ball had too much kinetic energy, it when through the net creating a whole on it. The ball then slowly lost it's energy and started bouncing. Everyone's jaw dropped. The hit caught everyone's attention, especially, someone named Uchiha Itachi.
There was silence, until…
"Show off." Neji said smirking. Tenten looked at him and slowly smiled. The sun shone upon her face lighting up her image. She stood at the middle of the field smiling at him.
-Flashback-
A little girl stood in the middle of a field smiling at him. He couldn't see her face coz it was blurry.
-End Flashback-
Neji couldn't understand what he remembered. But right now, he has to play soccer.
"Tenten, switch to the boys soccer field." Kakashi ordered
"WHY!"
"My order."
"But-
"Go"
"Fine." She switched courts and played in the boy's field. She played well. She caught up with the best soccer players there. After the game, her team won. Her team was led by Neji.
"Yes!" She jumped up and down in joy. Neji watched her smiling. Tenten looked at him and caught him smiling at her. She looked at him with a serious face then said…
"You owe me ICE CREAM!" She said pointing at him happily.
-silence-
"Guess I do." He said smiling as he looked up and looked at the birds.
After classes…
"Neji owes me ice cream. Neji owes me ice cream. Neji owes me ice cream. Neji owes me ice cream. Ne-" She said in a singsong voice
"Stop that. You've been going on and on like that since soccer practice ended." Neji said looking at her.
"-giggle-"
They finally arrived at the ice cream stand. It was located at a playground.
"Ice Cream!" Tenten shouted in joy.
"Two ice cream cones please." Neji asked the vendor. He paid for them and gave Tenten one.
"Yey!"
"You're acting so childish." Neji said. She didn't even listen to him. She sat on a swing and started eating her cone. Neji sat on the other one and ate silently with her.
"This brings back memories." She said as she finished her ice cream. She started swinging back and forth. Neji looked at her.
-Flashback- (Neji's )
A girl swung back and forth on a sing painted in red. She turned her head and looked at him.
"What?" He asked
"Nothing." She replied.
"I've got to leave, See you next time!" She stood up and left.
-End Flashback-
"Yah… It does."
"You remembered something?" She asked as she stopped. She faced him.
"It's blurry."
"What did you remember?"
"A girl who's sitting on a swing painted in red." Tenten's eyes widened
"Do you know her?" Tenten asked
"No."
"Oh."
"I want to know who she is."
"Oh." She said.
"I've got to leave. See you next time!" She stood up and left. Neji's eyes widened. 'The same actions… from that girl.
Tenten's house…
Tenten closed her front door and leaned her back against it.
"That girl…" She said as she clutched her head.
"I'm tired. I'll think about it tomorrow."
The next day…
Her alarm clock rang.
"Ring"
She shut it off and got out of bed. She started preparing breakfast. She ate and took a bath. She prepared her things and went to school. She arrived there a bit early.
She proceeded to her classroom and sat beside Neji like she usually does.
"Hey!"
"Hn."
The teacher started the lesson and gave their projects. Neji and Tenten were assigned with each other.
"So when do you want to do the project and when?" Tenten asked
"Saturday. We'll shop for the things needed. Then we'll go to my house to do it."
"Kay."
Saturday…
"What to wear?"
Hyuuga Mansion…
'Now, what should I wear?' Neji thought as he scanned his closet.
Later…
She waited outside her house for Neji. After a while Neji and her left ridding his motorcycle. She wrapped her arms around his waist and he speed on. Neji felt her arms around him.
