A full week had passed and boy did news travel fast. Everyone knew about what Tenten did to Neji and for the most part, was cheering her on. Neji did his part of the bet, and had not said one word to her ever since the last time they trained together.

Tenten loved the attention that she was getting. Everyone was noticing her and she even had her two new best friends by her side. However, she wasn't completely happy and it showed in her face expression.

"What's wrong hunny?" Ino asked with concern

"Yeah, everyone loves you" Sakura added

Tenten paused for a moment. She knew why she wasn't completely satisfied, but she'd never admit it to anyone, especially not now.

"Um, it's nothing, just my mom, she's all bitchy lately, y'know what I mean" Tenten lied.

"Yeah, but whenever my mom refuses to give me what I want, I just ask my dad." Ino stated proudly

Tenten stared at her as if she didn't believe she just said that.

"Yeah, my family isn't like that, Ino" Tenten stated.

"Oh well I know what will make you feel better" Ino said excitedly

"Tell tell!!" Tenten demanded.

"Sakura and I are throwing you a PARTY!!" Ino yelled so everyone around them could hear.

Everyone clapped and made comments like "Hell yeahh" and "Yeah BABY." Kiba was even howling. But most of all Tenten was now in a good mood.

"Oh and you need to try the baby powder" Ino whispered.

"Hell yeah" Tenten said confidently

It took a few minutes for the crowd to die off before Tenten began walking to her 1st period class. As she was walking she glanced at lockers and classroom doors. It almost made her feel sick, because she really wasn't in the mood to hear a teacher talk for 80 minutes.

She made a decision to skip 1st period, but where the hell was she going to go?

She didn't have Ino or Sakura, not even Lee. That didn't change her mind though as she headed the opposite way of her designated classroom and closer to the school courtyard.

The school courtyard was very beautiful. Sakura trees and Tulips of many different colors took up most of the courtyard. Not to mention, there was a fountain in the center with two benches on each side. The courtyard was very distant from the school which made it even better for Tenten.

She finally arrived, however, she wasn't alone and it wasn't just anyone who visited the courtyard. It was Neji Hyuuga, himself.

"What happened to you, wanting me to 'fuck off'?" Neji asked

Tenten looked over to see her Teammate staring at the water fountain.

"Nothing happened to it. I didn't know that you'd be here." Tenten answered "I'm skipping class"

"I don't care" He stated coldly

"Well I'm telling you anyways" Tenten smiled.

"Hn" was all the Neji said.

He was surprised that she didn't blow up or curse him off and it kinda made him feel defeated, but he'd never show any sign of it. Instead he kept quiet.

"Well um, Ino is throwing me a party and" Tenten said before being cutoff

"I told you before, I don't care." Neji stated quite clearly

"And I told you before that I'm going to tell you anyways" She lashed back. "Oh and I would like you to come"

"Why are you so confident after your pathetic win?" Neji asked coldly

Tenten only giggled and didn't bother answering his question.

"Shut up and just go to the damn party" She laughed.

Before Neji could reply Tenten was gone, he cursed under his breath, knowing that she was getting to him.

◘◘◘◘◘◘

School had finally ended but this time Tenten met up with Lee. She wanted to introduce him to Ino and Sakura. She had always imagined the four of them being the perfect group of friends.

"Lee!" Tenten said excitedly

"TENTEN!! Lee Jumped with joy.

This was probably the only time Tenten tolerated Lee's over excitement.

"I want you to meet Ino and Sakura!" Tenten yelled with Joy

Lee stood still and looked at ground. It only took 8 words to kill his excitement.

"Lee, don't be afraid, they're really nice" Tenten stated.

"uhh, I don't know, I mean they're" Lee rambled before getting cut off

"I think Ino kinda likes your outfit" Tenten said in an attempt to make him change his mind.

And it also took only 7 words for him to regain happiness as he was jumping around.

"Let's go Tenten!!" Lee yelled as he ran towards the blonde and pink haired ladies.

Lee kneeled down and kissed both of their palms and greeted them.

"It is an honor to meet you Ino Yamanaka and Sakura Haruno"

They only giggled and wondered where he had come from. That is until they saw an embarrassed Tenten, who was suddenly regretting the idea of having a perfect group of friends.

"Hey guys, that's Lee, I wanted you guys to meet him" Tenten said in a somewhat humiliated tone.

"He's so sweet Tenten, what a great find." Ino giggled.

"What!!" Tenten said in shock "He's not my…"

"I'm Gay" Lee blurted out.

Sakura and Ino shrieked in happiness

"We have a new shopping buddy" Sakura stated

"Speaking of clothes, we need to search through your closet Tenten" Ino smiled

"My closet? That means you have to…NO!!" Tenten shrieked

"Why not?" Ino asked as she raised an eyebrow

"Because my house, it's uhh messy" She lied

"Yeah ok, stop lying, I bet your house isn't that bad" Sakura laughed

Tenten turned to Lee as she was desperate for his help. He noticed this and decided to save her.

"She isn't kidding it's.. disgusting" Lee lied "Oh and why do you think she's my best friend? We have terrible clothing"

Tenten felt somewhat insulted by Lee's comment but he was still trying to help none the less.

"Oh please, I make everything work" Ino said confidently

Tenten knew that it was useless making up excuses, but she couldn't let them go to her house and she didn't want to tell them the truth. However, she couldn't have her cake and eat it to.

"I don't want you to see my foster mom" Tenten blurted out on the verge of tears.

"What?" Ino asked not expecting Tenten to blurt out her personal life.

"I don't know where my real parents are and my foster mom isn't necessarily the best thing that has happened to me" Tenten said in a low tone

"Oh hunny I'm so sorry" Ino said with care

Ino hugged her tightly and Tenten appreciated it. She didn't expect someone wealthy and popular like Ino to show empathy. A few tears fell from her eyes as she hugged Ino back.

"It's not your fault." Tenten stated.

"Yeah why don't we go to my house instead? I have clothes that would fit perfectly on you" Ino asked.

"Sure that'd be great" Tenten Smiled.

Sorry about the long wait, I couldn't find time to write a new chapter and also I was thinking about discontinuing the story, because I'm not getting enough reviews. I know that sounds pretty shallow, but think about it, why does ANYONE on post stories/poems? They want reviews!! So please REVIEW!!
