Prologue - First Impressions Gone Wrong
The sun was up, signaling a new school year in Eastern Konoha University.
For Neji Hyuga, it was his sophomore year, and hopefully, if he studied hard enough, he would finish his major in economics in three years. His schedule was already full, he was the main opposite hitter of the men's volleyball team, and also a honour student, fullfilling the high spectations that his uncle had for him.
Upon arriving in his first class, which for his surprise was full of chatty students. Deciding to avoid the noise, he found himself a seat next to a sleeping person, who didn't even budge when he seated himself. Happy with the distance of the cheerful chat of his classmates, Neji started to read the book he got for this class, trying to get ahead of what would be taught. Soon enough, the teacher arrived and shushed the classroom.
"Alright everyone, I'm Yuhi Kurenai, and I'll be your teacher for Mathematical Economics this quarter" The teacher, a Woman with black hair and red eyes introduced herself, and soon begun the roll call.
Neji answered when he was called, then went back into reading his book. He could hear the whispers among some girls, to which he ignored.
"Tenten!" The teacher called, this time louder, apparently the first two times weren't enough. The person by his side jolted up and streched her hand, almost smacking Neji in the process.
"Here!" The girl, Tenten as Neji noted, answered in a rush, her cheeks a little red from embarrassment. She had her heir in two buns, now that he noted. After some receiving a reprimand from the teacher, the girl sat again and sighed, just latter noticing Neji, who was still shocked by the sudden actions and staring at her.
"Um, hi" The girl said somewhat embarrassed, to which Neji just grunted in return, then went back paying attention to his book. Tenten, however, kept staring at him, which made him feel somewhat irritated.
"What?" Neji finally asked, snapping the girl back to reality.
"Ohh, sorry, is that you have weird eyes, that's all" she said smiling awkwardly.
Neji's eye twitched. He has heard a lot of things about his appearance, but his eyes being called weird was a first. Not to mention that basically everyone in his Family has a similar eye, and the Huygas were somewhat famous, they were one of the most noble families of all Konoha for heaven's sake! Did this girl live under a rock to not know that?
He was about to retort back to her whan the teacher begun the class. Choosing to ignore the comment of the girl, Neji turned his attention to the class. Both didn't say a word afterward, to which Neji was glad that at least that girl wouldn't oogle him or something like that.
Her classes have ended for the day, and now was time for her to go to work. She had a fully paid scholarship for being the volleyball team setter, but being an orphan wasn't easy, so she opted for working on the college café's some days of the week to make some money for herself. Tenten readied herself for work and watched the almost empty hall of the library. It was the first day of school, of course it would be somewhat empty. She thought back on how her classes were for today and chuckled slightly when she remembered waking up to an annoyed teacher on roll call. She wasn't a morning person, period, and having a class at 7:30 in the morning would be the end of her, but she would manage.
"Hello my darling! How have my favorite person been?" Ivan, her colleague, and friend from last year just arrived, hugging her tightly. Ivan was a tall, slim, handsome man, often he dressed more girlish than her, and was somewhat loud, but that was fine, he was a good gay friend to have.
"Hey Ivan, surviving the comeback of classes?"
"Don't even tell me about it, was hopping to get an easier time this quarter, but it seems that it will be a heelllish time again"
Tenten laughed. Ivan and she were majoring in Mechanical Engineer, there was no easy in their course and both knew that, they've became best friends studying together and trying to survive the first year. This year wouldn't be different by the looks.
"I just don't understand why you are picking a class in economics darling, have you not had enough math for yourself?" Ivan asked, making a dramatic pose, to which Tenten dismissed waiving a hand.
"I'm testing waters, to see if I can minor at economics" Tenten started to clean the balcony, now that the opening time was due, "Plus, I'll be able to use the calculus that we so much suffered to pass to count as credits."
"I see! That's my girl, always the intelligent one" Ivan took some cups out and linned them up on the balcony, "Seriously girl, you saved me big time last year" Ivan said smiling a fond, brotherly smile at her, to which Tenten responded with her own smile.
"We both saved ourselves" Tenten flipped the sign to 'open', and soon enough orders started to come in.
"Hello, what can I get you?" It was half of their shift when Tenten greeted two customers. One was smaller, with a bored look on his face and his hair looked like a black pineapple, the other one had long, silky dark hair and was tall, his eyes were so pale, that it would even seem that he was blind, "Ahhh, you're the weird eyed man!" She let out unconsciously, prompting the man's eye to twitch, and his companion to laugh.
"My eyes are not weird, and I have a name" The boy hissed through his teeth, clearly pissed.
"Oh, sorry, it's just that I've never seen eyes like yours before" Tenten tried to apologize.
"You've never seen or heard of a Hyuga before?" The man asked incredulous.
"Can't remember sir" Tenten had heard the name before, yes, but she never minded it much, it had nothing to do with her. She herself didn't have a last name, not that it bothered her now, her tutor taught her that what mattered was the character of the person, not the name. Her answer however, seemed to strike a nerve on the man in front of her.
"Do you live under a rock or something?" Now this guy was being just rude, to which Tenten frowned, but decided to ignore. He was a client, and the client was always right.
"Whats your order sir" She asked again, this time, forcefully.
"Just give me an earl grey" The man ordered, anger still present in his voice. Tenten frowned at him and made a mental note on avoiding this fella, whoever he was. Cocky guys like him were the worsts in her opinion.
"I'll have just a London fog, please" His friend, that she even forgot about, asked, much kindlier, and lazier, than the other. For him, she smiled and nodded.
She made the drinks in a blink of an eye and handed to them, the douche paying for them and then both men left, Tenten watched them from the corner of her eye until a snort picked her attention. Ivan was trying hard to not laugh at his friends' antics with the Hyuga boy, who he knew very well who was.
"Tenten, darling, you just called one of the most handsome guys of this college, 'weird eye'?" Ivan asked, covering his mouth from his chuckles.
"Most handsome? That douchebag?"
"Yes, my dear, he is The Neji Hyuga, star of volleyball and probably the future CEO of the Hyuga corp."
"Wait, he also plays volleyball?" Now Tenten was confused, not that she knew much of the men's team, she knew about Lee and Naruto, but she would have known of their star, wouldn't she?
"Of all his qualities, you're worried about volleyball?" Ivan laughed, "Yes, he's the main force of attack, but he isn't much social, so no surprises on you not knowing about him on volleyball, since you didn't even know him at all"
"Him not being social is a misunderstanding" Tenten muttered under her breath. "In any case, all I care is about my own volleyball team and future career" she finished, shrugging.
"Ouch, you don't care about me?" Ivan fake pouted, prompting Tenten to laugh and attend the next customer with renewed mood.
TBC...
