Meet the Photographers
"Congratulations, all of you have made it through the cast-call. Welcome to your first day of training. Now here are some waivers that I would like you to sign...just in case." Tsunade mumbled under her breath as she held out pens and waivers. All of the girls looked at her skeptically but slowly took one, taking their time to read the terms of the waiver.
"Your entrance fees are non-refundable and if you want to stay here, I suggest you sign these." she added as all of the girls immediately started filling out the information. About five minutes later she collected the waivers and pens and led them down the hall.
"Okay now that all of the legal stuff has been taken care of, you can choose your bed. The bedroom is this one, the first door to the left. Come back when you're done unpacking." she continued, banging the door as if it made it even clearer.
"I call the bed next to the window!" Temari hollered as she made her way into the bedroom.
"I want the one closest to the heater!" Ino yelled, following suit of the dirty blond.
"No I want it!" Sakura screeched back, pushing her way into the room.
"I'll beat you there Ino-pig!" Sakura hollered from inside the bedroom, racing to the bed.
"T-that's a pretty s-suitcase Sakura." Hinata said as she lifted her own onto her bed.
"Oh really? Thanks, I love the colors red and pink...if you hadn't noticed." she replied sheepishly as she looked down at her red tanktop, white shorts, and pink flip-flops.
"O-oh, t-that's nice...my f-favorite color i-is violet." Hinata replied as she sat on her bed.
"Are you girls done yet? I mean, it doesn't take much time to pick out a bed and put down your suitcase!" Tsunade yelled, causing Hinata to practically fall off her bed. All the girls exchanged glances and hurried outside, they didn't want to see the wrath of their boss on their first day.
"This is Shizune," Tsunade said once all the girls were present and accounted for, as she motioned to a black-haired woman that looked only a few years older than Temari.
"She will explain all the details of this er-internship. I have to go...file the paperwork." Tsunade finished lamely as she strode into her office.
"So, basically, this 'internship' is more of a semi-competitive learning experience for you girls, the models in training, and photographers. See, unlike previous years of our academy, you will each be assigned your own personal photographer who is also an intern. This way it is a learning experience for both you and the photographer and that way you will both gain skills that are much-needed in the real modeling industry. Now, every day, except today and Saturdays, you will be assigned a task to complete, they'll be photo-shoots and you'll be rated based on the best picture out of the bunch. You guys are gonna be left to your own devices for breakfast and lunch but we'll serve you guys dinner at six-thirty every night. The photographers are running a bit late so they will be here around dinnertime. So in between now and dinner I'd like for you girls to get acquainted and really make an effort to get to know one-another. Maybe try one of those circle-type get to know you games. Where you all sit in a circle and just go around telling people about yourself." Shizune suggested in a lively voice and bubbly demeanor. The girls, with nothing better to do, walked to their living room and took up Shizune's suggestion.
"Hi everyone, I'm Sakura. I grew up in New York and still live there, I'm a part-time waitress at 66 Cafe, I'm eighteen and I love kickboxing." Sakura said cheerfully as she looked to Ino, motioning her to speak up.
"Okay, I'm Ino and I've known Sakura since we were in diapers. We grew up next door neighbors and now we share the same apartment. I also work as a part-time waitress at the 66 Cafe and I'm also eighteen. I like playing tennis, but I'd definitely rather spend my time shopping." Ino said, waiting for somebody else to say something.
"I'm Temari and I'm from Nevada. I work as a cashier at Starbucks, I'm twenty-one, I have two painfully annoying younger brothers, and I'm into volleyball." Temari said.
"I'm Tenten, I'm nineteen and from New York as well, I work as a cashier at Blockbusters, er-I'm into a lot of sports but my two favorites are soccer and karate." Tenten said, making sure that she hadn't forgotten anything.
"U-um. M-my name is H-hinata a-and I, too, live in New York. I-I am a p-part time l-librarian and I am eighteen. I e-enjoy reading." Hinata said. After the introductions, they decided to tour the house for themselves. The living room, what they were already in, was quite spacious. It had a bookshelf, flat-screen T.V, a couch, coffee table, four or so armchairs, and a large window so they could overlook the busy streets of New York. The kitchen was just across from the living room, although it wasn't so much a room since it didn't have any walls, it was just sort of stuck in the upper right-hand corner of the living room. With granite-topped wooden counters and a sleek stainless steel stove, microwave, and refrigerator, it looked as if it could be featured in a magazine. They continued on in their exploration and found that there were three bathrooms, one bathroom that was big enough to have a huge jacuzzi big enough to fit at least six. The other two bathrooms were a bit on the small side, with a sink, toilet, and shower. They ambled down the hall and went into the first door that they found and saw five, very inviting-looking, beds. They each flopped onto one and began chatting about their commute there, Temari having had the worst of it since she had to come all the way from Nevada and spent nearly seven hours on a plane.
"When's dinner? I'm starved!" Tenten complained as she sat up.
"U-um I-I t-think t-that it is at s-six-thirty Tenten." Hinata replied from behind a book she had been reading.
"I wonder who our photographers will be..." Temari mused as she sat up.
"M-maybe they will be n-nice t-to us." Hinata said hopefully, placing her bookmark in her book and setting it down.
"Nah, they'll probably be bitches." Tenten continued, grateful for the distraction from her stomach.
"Now you've gone and made me anxious, Temari!" Sakura complained as she thought of their soon-to-be photographers.
"Maybe they'll be hot Puerto Rican guys!" Ino exclaimed, dreamy-eyed from the thought of it.
"Dinner!" Shizune yelled. All of the girls rushed to the table and started serving themselves to the delicious-smelling spaghetti and meatballs. Knock. Knock. Knock.
"Aw...I'm so hungry, will you get it Sakura?" Tenten pleaded as she looked lovingly at her dinner.
"I don't want to get it, Ino you get it!" Sakura said as she took a bite of her spaghetti.
"Temari will ya get it?" Ino asked, her voice almost nauseatingly sweet.
"No. Hinata get it." Temari said, but when she turned to Hinata, she was already opening the door.
"Hey. I'm Kiba." a tall, slim man with dark chocolate eyes and messy brown hair said.
"Me and the rest of the guys are the photographers are here. You must be one of the models. Pleasure to meet ya um..." he continued, rubbing his hand on his neck as he motioned for her to tell him her name.
"H-hinata." she offered, a blush tinting her cheeks as he smiled and stepped closer to her.
"Then pleasure to meet ya, Hinata." he said, walking through the door.
"U-um, w-why d-don't you all c-come in a-and m-meet the o-other g-girls." Hinata softly said, watching a rather large man with bright blue eyes and light brown hair amble in, followed by a tall lanky man with light skin, jet-black hair tied up in a ponytail, and dark eyes. Trailing behind them was a lean man with light skin, dark hair and eyes, and, as Hinata noticed as he walked by her, a small tattoo on the back of his neck. Then, last but not least, a man with long black hair, pale skin, and light violet eyes walked in.
"Neji-san!" Hinata exclaimed as she gave him a warm hug. She had always known that photography was one of his interests, and he was quite gifted at it, but she'd always thought that he'd be forced to run the family business rather than pursue his interests. Hinata guided the men to the table and quickly sat down, tapping all of them until they were facing the newcomers.
"Hi, I'm Kiba Inuzuka, to the right of me is Neji Hyuga, to the right of him is Sasuke Uchiha, to the right of him is Chouji Akimichi, and to the right of him is Shikamaru Nara; we're your photographers." he said, giving a wolfish grin as he eyed the models.
"I'm Temari no Sabaku, next to me is Tenten, across from her is Ino Yamanaka, across from me is Sakura Haruno, and the girl that was standing next to you is Hinata, although you probably already knew that. Why don't you all grab a few chairs." Temari said casually. Once they were all seated, which took quite a bit of searching through their new house to find extra chairs, they began serving themselves to dinner and introducing themselves.
"I'm from Brooklyn, New York. My sis is a veterinarian, I'm nineteen in a month, I like surfing and I have a dog named Akamaru but he's not coming until the end of the week, my sis needed to get him vaccinated today and she's gonna drop him off here when she's on her way to some veterinarian convention or something." Kiba said, smiling as he thought of Akamaru.
"I'm also eighteen, I like ping pong, and my family owns a butterfly rescue place, so I grew up around them." Chouji said, nudging Shikamaru to say something.
"I'm Shikamaru, I'm nineteen in a week or so, I like watching clouds, and some people call me a genius or something like that." Shikamaru said, finishing with a yawn. He nudged Neji and said that they all have to say something or else Tsunade would have their heads for 'not being inviting.'
"I am Neji Hyuga. I am nineteen, I enjoy soccer, and I've been accepted to NYU." Neji said monotonously.
"I'm Sasuke, I've been taking still life pictures since I was sixteen, I'm eighteen, and I've also been accepted to NYU." Sasuke said.
"I don't know about you guys, but I'm really tired, I think the trip did me in." Sakura said, heading for their room.
"Um, e-excuse m-me, but I-I d-didn't s-see any o-other b-bedrooms or beds. W-where a-are the boys g-going t-to s-stay?" Hinata asked, confusedly. The other girls went pale when they realized that Hinata was right and they ran to Tsunade's office and pounded on the door.
"What is it girls?" Tsunade asked, annoyed at the incessant pounding.
"Where are the photographers going to sleep Tsunade? There aren't any more beds." Sakura hollered through the door as Tsunade brightened up.
"Oh I forgot to tell you, the photographers will be staying in the same room as the models." she explained, dismissing them before they could form any kind of reaction.
"I'm bunking with Sakura!" Ino yelled.
"I'll go with you Hinata." Temari said, fearing that she'd feel guilty if Hinata were fed to the wolves.
"Wait, what about me?" Tenten asked.
"You can sleep with a lucky guy, Tenten. Maybe it'll be that guy, erm-Sasuke was it? Oh, I shouldn't have offered to bunk with you Sakura!" Ino exclaimed in realization. The girls came back and explained the situation to the boys.
"Now, um...you guys can choose who's gonna bunk with who, but there's going to be one guy leftover and they'll be sleeping with...um, you'll find out later." Sakura muttered. The guys huddled up and Kiba was bunking with Sasuke and Chouji was bunking with Shikamaru, they had sleep-overs all the time when they were kids.
"What? Why me?" Neji asked.
"Are you kidding? You're lucky, you get to sleep with one of the models!" Kiba exclaimed. After a lot of persuasion, Neji agreed and they walked back up to the girls.
"Okay, um well Tenten's gonna sleep with whoever you guys casted off." Temari said, pushing Tenten in front of the other girls.
"We're going to be switching girls that to sleep with one of the guys just so it's fair. I think that you guys should too...well you guys probably want to." Temari added with a devious smile. Hinata looked mollified looked to Temari.
"I have brothers, they rub off on you." she explained.
"So who's the lucky guy that sleeps with Tenten?" Sakura asked.
"I'm not sleeping with them, I'm sleeping next to them. There's a difference." Tenten tried in her defense. The guys just pushed Neji forward.
"Uh. Right, so lets go sleep." Sakura said.
"No, we should stay up all night!" Ino exclaimed.
