Twenty Questions
-o-o-o-o-
"N-Neji" I stuttered "wow you're amazing"
He smiled at me and turned to Sasuke "I'm gonna go, see you at home"
Sasuke nodded to him and waved goodbye but when we exited, his eyes lingered on me a bit too long for my liking.
When we left the building, I stuffed my hands into my pockets and shivered despite the thick coat I had on.
"You okay?" Neji asked, concerned. I turned to him and gave him a reassuring nod. He smiled at me and we continued walking to who-knows where.
"So exactly how long have you been here?" he asked, breaking the silence
"Hm..." I furrowed my eyebrow in concentration "about a month but I just moved to this area two weeks ago"
"Ah"
I really wanted to get to know him. Just when he asked me a question triggered the fact that I LOVE twenty questions. I thought about whether or not to ask the next question when it just slipped out.
"Have you ever been in love?" me and my big mouth...
Neji gave me a strange look before shrugging it off. He shook his head
"Never"
-x-x-x-x-
Sure the question caught me off guard but she looked so...guilty...just after asking me.
"Have you?"
She smiled at me and sighed "I'm not sure"
"How are you not sure?" I asked, quirking my eyebrow
"Well" she said "uh...it's a long story and I mean we're still complete strangers so it'd be pretty weird-"
"I want to hear it" I said "my apartment isn't that far off from here"
She gave me a scared look and I laughed "I promise I won't do anything shady"
She laughed with me most of the way until we were outside my apartment. We ran inside to escape the freezing cold streets and I quickly unlocked the door.
When we got in, I took her coat and hung it up on the hook on the door. Then I heard giggling.
"Huh?"
Tenten giggled "you're as red as a tomato
"Well you're as red as an apple" Tenten crossed her arms over her chest childishly and I laughed.
"C'mon, want some hot chocolate?"
"..."
"..."
"Will there be marshmallows?"
"Yes Tenten, there will be marshmallows"
"Well what are you waiting for?"
We headed to the kitchen and prepared the hot chocolate.
"Have you ever played twenty questions?" Tenten asked
"Nope"
She gawked at me before pulling me out of the kitchen
"You know, if you really want to get me out of here, you just have to ask"
"Is that supposed to be dirty?"
"Maybe..."
-o-o-o-o-
I laughed as I sat Neji down on the armchair and I headed for the loveseat right across from it.
"Twenty questions is a simple game" I said "we just fire questions at each other and we answer truthfully. You first"
He sighed "well you still didn't answer my question from before"
"Oh…" I could feel my face heating up "that one…"
"Well?"
I twiddled my fingers together shyly and let out a deep breath "well there's been a couple times… but the most recent and the most serious one was with…this guy named Sai"
"Wait a couple times?"
I shot him glare "one question at a time, that's the rules" he nodded and I continued "Well, what happened was er… I guess I should just come out with it. Sai was a guy in most of my classes back in Princeton. He never really talked but when I got him to do it, we became instant friends. That was back in freshman year. At first I thought we'd be best friends forever and that we'd never fight or anything…then…he just ignored me for a couple months and I thought he was using me for some reason I still don't know about. After a while he apologized and I forgave him. But…I thought I loved him…" I leaned back on the loveseat "I'm still not sure if I ever did. Well then, it was back to normal until two months ago…"
"What happened?"
I sighed and folded my hands in my lap "he told me…how much he cares…how much he's always cared…and not cared in a friendly sort of manner but in a much more serious way. I was afraid so…I turned him down. At first I thought it was the stupidest thing I ever did, but then when I realized how much of an asshole he was since I rejected him, we grew apart and he even threatened to kill himself. I wanted to try to help when I found out it was all for attention only" I laughed "I prank called him while he was studying abroad to see if he was still alive. He was. So I hung up and never talked to him since. Drama's not my thing and he was just being plain asshole-ish"
"So that's it?" Neji asked
"What did you expect my life story?"
He shrugged and I giggled "C'mon we should get the hot chocolate"
We got out of our seats and headed for the kitchen, Neji got two mugs from the cupboard over his counter and placed them beside me he reached into a basket and pulled out a new bag of marshmallows.
I poured the hot chocolate into the two mugs and accidentally spilled some on my hand. The scalding liquid should have hurt but I just laughed as Neji rushed to get some paper towels to clean it up.
"What are you a masochist or something?"
"No! I just find it…funny"
"How?"
I shrugged "Not sure. Now come on, it's my turn to ask a question"
We headed back to the living room and I sipped my hot chocolate carefully, trying not to scald my tongue.
"What's up with the journal?" I asked pointing to a beat up notebook peeking out of Neji's bag.
-x-x-x-x-
"You're gonna think it's stupid' I said defensively. She laughed
"Try me"
"You know Kurt Cobain?"
"From Nirvana? Of course! He's a legend!"
I smirked, glad she had a good taste in music "well, you know how he had his notebook published right?"
"Yeah, I have a copy"
"Well, it's kinda like that. I plan on becoming famous in a couple of years" I noticed her smile disappear for a second when I said this but it instantly came back on "well, Kurt's my idol and I want to follow in his footsteps like this so when I'm famous, this will be published and everyone will know my story"
"Interesting, that's so…just wow, you're following in your idol's footsteps"
I drank some of my hot chocolate and asked her something that I was wondering ever since I met her.
"NYU and Princeton are both amazing schools" I began. I noticed her tense up a little but I kept going. "How did you manage to transfer for a semester?"
She gave me a sad smile and looked me straight in the eyes.
"I'm afraid I can't answer that one"
