Chapter 2

I cannot believe it! On my way to work I saw this shop and right there in the window display was a PINK STETHOSCOPE!!!

The only problem was that the shop was closed and it costs 200 freakin dollars. I have 180!!! I need 20 bucks!

I look around my office, who would be nice enough to lend me 20 bucks...noone.

"Would all workers go to the Meeting Room now please? Thank you very much." Amelia's voice boomed through the speakers.

Amelia is Neji's secretary. Who would want that job...

Everyone stands up and walks towards the meeting room. I pick up a pen and a notebook just to look like a professional, then I hurry after them.

In the Meeting Room

"That is why we are going to spread to the Mist Village..." Neji says.

I am so bored...all I have written down so far is this:

Neji's hair is nice...I'm 21...I want my promotion...20 bucks...

I hiss to Kim, one of my work collegues, " Hey Kim, can you lend me 20 bucks?" unfortunately, I hissed it a bit too loudly.

"What do you need 20 bucks for?" Neji asks, using the mircrophone so everyone can hear. He's doing this on purpose...jerk.

"Um well you see, I need to buy a present for a friend." I'm blushing, I can feel it.

"Would that present happen to be a pink stethoscope?"

SHIT. How did he know? He must have some kinda power looking in minds...oh yeah, I was talking about pink stethoscopes yesterday...heehee.

"No." I lie, " It's a regular coloured stethoscope."

That's sooo much better Tenten...I can hear sniggers from around the room.

"Okay," he says, then he gets out his wallet and takes out 20 bucks, " Here."

Oh.my.god. I did not expect that.

"Thanks." I mutter as I take it, " I'll pay you back."

"Now!" he claps his hands, " On with the meeting."

After Work

Great, now I'm done working, I can finally get the stethoscope for Sakura! Her birthday party is in...3 days. I am gonna be prepared with a present already!

I walk into the shop and get the stethoscope, then walk up to the counter.

"That'll be 200 please." the shop assistant says, smiling.

"Here." I shove exactly 200 dollars in her hands then I walk out, clutching onto the bag.

When I'm rushing to catch a taxi, I bump into someone. I look up and...why me?! It's him, again.

"Tenten, next time can you please watch where you are going." Neji said in his monotone voice.

"Sorry Mr.Hyuuga, I wasn't really paying attention to where I was going."

"It's okay." there's a glint of kindness in his eyes.

Something wells up inside me.

"Well, how about for your payback for the 20 bucks you gave me, I'll invite you to a party!" I hear myself saying.

"What sort of party?" a smile is twitching at his lips.

"A birthday party for my friend Sakura!" I say brightly.

"Hmm..." he says, " I'll think about it." then he got into a black car and drove away.

GOD. I just invited him to Sakura's party?! Ino and Hinata and Sakura are going to tease me about this...at the start of my job I had a crush on him and they knew...

Ah well, friends will be friends right?..evil friends...

At Home

"Oooh! What did you buy Tenten!?" Hinata came bouncing up to me.

"Nothing much." I say breezily as I walk into my room, " Is dinner ready yet?"

"Almost!" Hinata called as she rushed back into the kitchen.

I have no work to do at home today, so after I changed into my PJ's I walked into Sakura's room to say hi. BIG MISTAKE.

She and Sasuke were making out on the bed.

"Sorry!" I shriek when I saw them, then I quickly went to see Ino. BIG MISTAKE AS WELL.

I will be scarred forever...I can just go see Hinata! She's cooking, nothing bad about that.

I walk into the kitchen and squeak, she and Naruto are kissing over a plate of chicken wings. No way am I eating those now. I rush into my room and lock the door.

What day is it today!!??

Official "Bring your Boyfriend home and Make out Day"?!!?

Ugh, I really need to get a life. Get a boyfriend. Get a promotion.

I sigh sadly to myself and walk over to my laptop to go online. A message popped up.

Hmm...I might be free on Saturday. What time is this party? N.H

I grin and quickly type, It's from 3-8.

He replied few seconds later, Okay...I guess it's a break from work on that day.

My jaw drops, Your seriously coming!?!

I can't turn down an invitation can I? That's just rude.

I smile and type, Remember to bring a present, Ino and Sakura will go ballistic if you don't.

Ino and Sakura? he typed, Who are they?

My roomies. this conversation is actually getting interesting.

I see...by any chance is it Sakura Haruno, one of the best doctors in Konoha and Ino, the designer of the line, the"Ino Butterfly"???

Yeah! I typed, surprised, How did you know?

Who wouldn't?

I type back, Well do you know who Hinata Hyuuga is?

Of course. She's my cousin. And she owns of the best restaurants in Konoha.

Jerk, he knows too much.

Okay...well i g2g now. I type, my eyes glued to the screen.

Hn. Okay, see you tomorrow at work.

I sign off and giggle. I have no idea why I giggled, but I giggled alright.

Someone knocked on my door.

"Tenten?" Ino calls, " We're eating dinner now."

"Yeah, care to join us?" Sakura asked.

"Please come out Tenten." Hinata says.

"Is Naruto, Sasuke and Shikamaru still there?" I ask, edging closer to my door.

"OF COURSE I'M HERE, DATTEBAYO!" Naruto yells, it really annoys me, his voice.

"So troublesome..." god that guy is here too? I hate his motto. He could at least come up with something nicer like..."So not troublesome..."

"Sakura, c'mon the food is getting cold!" Sasuke is there too...I suddenly don't feel that hungry anymore...my appetite is gone.

"It's okay!" I call out to Hinata, Ino and Sakura, " I'm not hungry."

"Oh...okay." I hear them walking away from my door.

I walk back to my laptop and shut it down. Then I go to my bed and curl up.

"Ring ring ring ring!"

Fuck that alarm clock. I was having a nice dream.

I get my emergency kunai from underneath my pillow and aim it on the clock. Bull's eye.

Ah well, I better get up now right?

Hmm, what should I wear? This nice black suit and shirt with my new DKNY boots. Now, time to go to work.

I tip toe quietly pass Hinata, Ino and Sakura's room and open the door. Then I walked out and started my walk to work.

Tenten's Desk

My desk is so messed up. I really need to start cleaning up. Turn over a new leaf!

I start collecting all scrap papers around my desk and throw them in the dustbin. Huh? What's a empty cereal box doing on my desk...

Suddenly a deep voice says, " Good morning."

I look up and see Neji, " Hi Neji, I mean boss."

He stares at my desk and says, " Cleaning up?"

"Uh huh." I say, finding a mars bar wrapper.

"Well, here." he says as he plonks down a cup of Starbucks coffee on my table, " You didn't buy your usual coffee today." then he turns around and walks to the lift.

I stare after him in disbelief.

My boss, the Hyuuga Neji, just gave me a cup of coffee.

Maybe he likes me...No! What are you thinking Tenten! Of course he doesn't like you. Why would he?

Yumi interrupts my thoughts.Yumi is the editor of the HWM.

"Tenten, come to my room immediately." she says seriously.

I suddenly realize, this is it! This is my promotion.

I follow her excitedly and close the door behind me.

"Now Tenten, Amelia just quit. So, I'm making you Neji's new secretary." she says.

Huh? This is not my promotion.

I come to my senses.

"Um..okay." I say, " When do I have to move?"

"Now." she ushers me out and points at my desk, " Start packing up."

Chapter 3 coming soon!
