"Tenten… Tenten. Tenten!"

Tenten woke up with a snort. Ino was leaning over her with an aggravated look on her face. The rest of the classroom was dead. No one but them was in there. "Whaaat?"

Ino laughed, but it seemed forced. "Finally. You and me got detention, you doof." That made her spring out of her chair.

"Detention?! For what? I wasn't doing anything. I was sleeping!" Tenten screamed. "How the hell could I get detention tonight? I've got a date with Neji!"

"We got detention for sleeping, duh!" Ino sneered, but she wasn't saying it in a mean way. "We get to write a five-hundred word essay on how it's important to sleep at home than in school. 'You can't stay up late, girls! Sleeping in class is not an option!'" she put on her teacher voice.

Tenten shoved her stuff in her bag. "Well, tell the teach that I'm not gonna give a moment of my personal life up to write a piece of shit that will end up in the garbage anyway!"

"Why?" Ino's eyes got bigger. "You and Neji are really actually truly dating now? And I thought I'd never see the day!" She got on her knees and pretended to pray.

Tenten sent a playful punch to the side of Ino's head and walked out of the classroom. I'll just write the freakin' essay at home! Why hand out detentions for something that could just be homework?

She hopped in her jeep and closed the door. She swung her bag into the back seat without looking and started up the engine. Just before she started to roll…

"Oww!" the backseat said. "Do you have to throw the bag so hard?! I'm sleeping here!" Tenten screamed and jumped a foot in the air, bumping her head hard. She turned around to find Sakura rubbing her head, too.

"Sakura? What the hell?"

"Hey, Ten, aren't you supposed to be in detention or something? Ino told me after I woke up."

"WHAT?!" Tenten yelled so loud people ten feet away could hear her through the car. "You were sleeping too, but you don't get detention? That's bullshit!"

Sakura laughed. "I've got detention, but I thought I'd skip to find out about what happened this morning. Neji looked very red this morning." She gave Tenten a mischievous smile.

"We just talked, is all." Tenten glared and started to drive. "Listen up, I gotta date to get to, and at this point I'll be ten minutes late. So when I park, get the hell out."

Sakura looked taken aback. "Gee, someone's got an attitude today!"

"Shut up."

Tenten looked as beautiful as ever. She had the cutest shoes to go with her long, flowing purple dress, and a nice purse as well. She ended up being a few minutes late, but Neji understood and brushed it off. They were bowling this time.

It was like a real match, since Neji and Tenten were both super-good at bowling, and in the end they both had the same score.

"Wow, Nej!" Tenten breathed. "You're too good. I'm not that great." Neji wrapped an arm around her. He laughed and led her out of the alley.

"No, you're just as good as I am."

Tenten blushed deeply. You're so nice, Neji, she thought to herself, I wish I could even compare to you…

"Are you okay?" Neji's voice brought her back to reality. "You kinda spaced out on me, Ten." He slipped his arm down to her waist and leaned her down against a tree. "I love you, Tenten."

Tenten leaned her head in. "I love you, too…" Their lips met, and she locked her arms around his neck, drifting into a haze.

School was "a drag" the next day. She was so tired, and her whole morning was a blur. She did finish her paper as punishment and was finally off the hook.

At lunch, she filled her plate and sat down with the girls under the tree.

"So how was the date?" Sakura said.

"Oh, it was great! We ended up in a tie." Tenten stuffed some pizza in her mouth.

Ino rolled her eyes. "Yeah, in each other's arms and legs." She said in her snobby voice. Tenten's eyebrows shot up.

"Um, excuse me?!" she exclaimed. "You don't talk about me and Neji like that, you… you bitch!" That's it! I've had it with Ino and her stupid remarks! She hit her.

Tenten hit Ino.

Ino stumbled to the ground and groaned. But she recovered quickly and decided to draw more attention to herself. "God, you immature jerk! Don't harass me!"

Tenten pushed her into the tree and kept Ino from moving. She started pounding her with her fists, screaming and crying as hard and loud as she ever had. Neji sprinted over to her and pulled her into his arms and away from Ino, who was being escorted to the nurse (not hurt, except for a few minor bruises). "I'm so sorry! Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry!" Tenten sobbed into Neji's chest. He hugged her closer and breathed in her scent.

"I know, Ten. I know."
