I have survived the first week of school. I'm considered lucky. Chi, my sister, has survived the first week of HIGH SCHOOL. The day seems longer in high school…isn't it weird that how the first day of school, nothing feels strange, but on the second day, it all starts to sink in and you begin to realize the true horror of 7th grade?

Chi was totally pissed because high school sucked. It's a lot bigger and a lot scarier. (not that I would know this kind of stuff) Chi is actually pretty popular and outgoing…I wish some of that rubbed off on me. She's so confident and she talks to anyone. I'm not kidding. I guess I'm ok…I have a small clique…mostly a group of cute little anime fans like myself, while Chi has he entire school in the palms of her and her friend's hands. HAHA, NOT SO GREAT TO BE FRESHMEN NOW! CHI IS GOING TO HAVE TO REBUILD HER EMPIRE OF POPULAR PEOPLE IN HIGH SCHOOL NOW!...and maybe people would stop knowing me as "The most popular girl in school's sister."

Please enjoy this chapter of Tenten's bad luck…took me 4 weeks to do this….sigh.

Tenten's bad Luck Chapter 7

Tenten walked all the way home from the restaurant in shambles. The sun was fading as dark rain clouds gathered above the sky. Thunder clapped and it began to pour.

Tenten stopped walking and looked up at the sky, her hair dripping wet and closed her eyes.

She dropped to her knees.

"GOD! WHAT DID I DO TO DESERVE THIS?" she shouted, her voice scratched and food still clinging on her clothes.

She sobbed and looked down at the ground while thunder got louder and rain fell harder.

(Back at the Restaurant)

Neji, Gai and Lee picked off food from their clothes and the ground. The restaurant owner was super pissed, discovering food in every inch of the store. He yelled at Neji, Lee and Gai, mainly Neji…

Neji scowled as he picked off mashed corn from his shirt and washed his hands. Lee sobbed while scraping off gum from under the tables (The gum was there under the tables before, but the restaurant owner thought Lee was gullible enough to make him clean off the gum…)

Gai sighed. "I'm very disappointed in you Neji."

Neji looked up, his eyes wide. "But---hey! Tenten started it!"

Lee shook his head. "Why Neji…only dopey idiots with no lives would blame a lady for situations like this."

Neji growled. He rolled up a sleeve. "Back off, you…"

Gai shook his head and brushed off some rice bits from his vest. "Well you know, I can understand why Tenten would stoop to this level…"

Neji and Lee looked at Gai wondering what he meant.

Gai cleared his throat and continued. "Tenten's dad, Mr.…uh…" he stopped and thought for a second, discovering Tenten never mentioned her last name. He shook his head and continued without much thought. "Well, her DAD moved out and her mother is really taking it the wrong way, ordering Tenten around the house and such."

Neji looked a bit surprised. Still, it's no reason to act like that. Tenten should suck it up and move on.

Gai went on. "Also, I heard Tenten is dealing with her depression issues."

Neji and Lee both stared, shocked. Depression issues? They wondered. Since when was Tenten depressed?

"She has depression?" Lee asked. "Of what?"

Gai shrugged. "I don't know. Does this mean you guys never asked Tenten about her past before? Did you guys ever listen to HER needs?"

Neji and Lee thought for a moment.

Gai went on. "Lee…remember that time you were sick with the flu and Tenten took care of you, because she knew your mother was out of town?"

Lee nodded.

"And Neji…" Gai went on. "Tenten knows how to handle your past, because she's asked you about the Hyuuga clan's problems since she was concerned about you."

Neji looked down.

Gai shook his head, disappointed. "I cannot believe what kind of team this is. Both of you…Tenten has always been there for you and she stuck her nose into your problems to help you!"

Neji and Lee both looked at each other, speechless.

"For example, Neji." Gai droned on and on. "Tenten was super excited about her 12th birthday right? She planned it out and everything!"

Neji nodded.

"But, when her party came, we found out you were planned for surgery, since you broke your leg, right Neji?" Gai asked, sounding more like a therapist than a team leader. Maybe he should go to law school… "…Well guess what Tenten did?"

Neji paused.

"She cancelled her party to come visit you and bring you chocolates so you'd feel better!" Gai said.

Neji looked surprised. Tenten cancelled her party to help me? Come to think of it, I don't recall hearing about her birthday party the next day either…

Gai turned his head around to look at Lee who was lost in thought. "Lee…" Gai continued, without missing a beat. "When you and Tenten were little, you fell off your pedistool and cried and Tenten gave you her last gumdrop to make you feel better."

Lee stared, surprised.

Tenten has done so much for this team and she gets so little credit for what she's done. Still, Tenten receives the least admiration and attention from everyone, even thought she has a kind soul.

Neji turned his back around and thought…

What got us to fight anyway? Tenten was mad at me for tacking up the posters, even though I didn't do it…but still, she must feel pretty pissed right now since she has so much on her plate to deal with and we're not making things any better.

Neji looked up. "OH MY GOD, I'M A LOSER!"

Lee and Gai jumped up in surprise at Neji's outburst and stared blankly.

Neji held his hands to his cheeks.

"TENTEN MUST BE SO PISSED BECAUSE WE WEREN'T GIVING HER ANY HELP THAT SHE NEEDED AND WE MADE THINGS WORST AND SHE IS JUST DEPRESSED SO SHE NEEDS SOMEONE TO TAKE OUT THE ANGER ON!" Neji shouted like a girl.

"…That's what I was trying to say for the last 2 pages of the story…" Gai said softly, raising a finger weakly. Way to steal the credit, Neji…you didn't even do anything…

Neji suddenly got up and raced outside to find Tenten. The rain was still pouring, but he didn't care. He needed to set things straight with Tenten.

And NOW.

In case anyone noticed, that gumdrop and pedistool thing, I got it from Even Stevens. Anyone watched that episode?

No one knows what a pedistool is. We used to have that, growing up in Japan. It's sort of like a stool, little kids play with it…

Last week, my grandparents in Japan, sent me and Chi loads of candy! We were so giddy and happy, but my mom hid the candy. But Chi and I found it anyways, because we're experienced at finding things my mom hides. Particularly Halloween candy. We find our Halloween candy every year no matter how hard my mom tries to hide it.

(Do you guys still go trick or treating? Am I too old for candy?...NO WAY! NO ONE IS TOO OLD FOR CANDY!)

I was super pissed because this week has been very suckish. Chi totally hogged the laptop printer and it's still in HER room. Since we both have computers in our rooms, we tend to hog each other's computer accessories.

I gotta go eat candy before CHI HOGS IT ALL AWAY!

Oh, yea, Chi wants to say something.

Chi—WHO'S HOGGING THE LAPTOP PRINTER, YOU FOOL?

Rin—YOU ARE, YOU BIRD BRAIN!

Chi—Guess what? Keep that up, and you're gonna be a loser in high school, I'm gonna make sure that happens.

You see what I put up with?
