"Wait a minute." Sakura interrupted, walking in between them and looking at them in disbelief. "How come you two know each other and I don't?"
The girls giggled. "See I told you, your forehead is good for nothing but dreaming about him."
"Hey!" Sakura tried to defend herself. Then 2 guys entered the room simultaneously and all girls' attention went to them. Squeals were heard from the audience. And TenTen notices one of them.
Chapter 2: The beginning of...
Behind them, followed a loud blonde who kept shouting names and saying that he wants a rematch, and a brown haired guy with a dog hiding in his jacket.
"Give it up Naruto, you lost," the brown haired said.
"Never! Dattebayo!" the loud blonde announced. "Hey where is Shikamaru?" he asked around his 2 other stoic friends.
"Yosh! I got him with me!" A hyperactive guy in a bowl haircut entered grabbing a lazy looking guy with light black haired guy with a pineapple looking ponytail entered.
"How bothersome would it be to be calling you when your phone is forever on silent mode?" Naruto put his fists on his hips and complained to Shikamaru. "Even Neji has vibrate on even though it's on silent mode too."
"How troublesome," Shikamaru yawned which Naruto got mad at and started complaining more. More troublesome for the lazy ass.
"Hey guys!" Ino called. "Come meet our new or old friend,"
Naruto, Kiba, and Lee rushed over energetically. Neji and Sasuke didn't even bother to look their way and just dragged their feet over there. Sasuke, with his cool pose and eyes close. Neji was still a little pissed over losing his phone. He is considering getting a ringtone too. Or else he will never find it back again.
When the guys got over to them, Tenten beamed up at Neji, hoping he would recognize her.
Neji, suppressed his anger for a moment and looked Tenten's way and his expression changed. Into that of surprise. "You." He paused, taking a second and good look at the girl in front of him. It was too good to be true. "You're that girl from the mall."
She beamed bigger. "I thought you wouldn't remember me!"
Ino looked back and forth between the two's conversation and notices Neji's change in posture and demeanor. It was different from the one he normally shows them.
"Did you lose anything?" Tenten smiled secretively.
"And don't tell me I owe you another coffee," Neji replied.
"I don't think I've ever seen Neji into talking this much," Naruto whisper-gossiped into Kiba's ears.
TenTen remember picking up his white iphone with black leather casing and white stitching. She was staring at it the whole night stopping herself from opening it. She didn't want to intrude his privacy or anything.
"Why didn't you try calling to see where your phone was? Others would be really happy to pick up an iphone on the street, you know," she teased. "And don't worry, I didn't even go in your phone! Your secrets are safe," she fake whispered to him.
Neji couldn't help but chuckle a little. "Your good deeds will come back to you."
At the same time, Sasuke also recognized this girl that bumped and spilled coffee all over him too.
"Okay, let me introduce you to the guys, Tennie," Sakura butt in happily, already giving her a nickname. "Not to mention we have to go over past yearbooks and catch up!" She gushed to Tenten then turned her back to face the guys looking at them all.
"So this is Tenten, a sweet and lovely girl," Sakura said. She couldn't help but throw in a few adjectives too, despite the fact that she just met Tenten 10 minutes ago. Tenten giggled softly at that. "Tens, this is Hyuuga Neji, Hinata's cousin," she said with her hand fanned out in Neji's direction. "This is Uzumaki Naruto," her hand moved over to the loud blonde. Naruto flashed her with his huge smile which Sakura calls 'idiotic smile'.
"This is Rock Lee," Sakura said with her hand in the direction of the hyperactive bowl hair cut guy.
"Yeah, I remember you, we used to play soccer together," TenTen smiled.
"I will do 100 laps around memory lane and we shall play soccer like we used to when we were toddlers!" Lee said his voice fueled with energy.
"Yup that's Lee, and this is Inuzuka Kiba and Akamaru there in his jacket," Sakura introduced the brunette and the hiding white dog. The dog barked happily to get a new friend.
"Aww so cute! I love dogs!" Tenten walked over to Akamaru and messed with its ears and head.
"This is Nara Shikamaru, I tell you he is the laziest guy you'll ever see in this school, and he's really good with computer stuff too. If you need help go see him or that guy in the shades and long coat over there. That one's Shino." Sakura said pointing at a guy sitting in a corner typing away in his Alienware laptop.
"Wow." Tenten mouthed.
"And this is Uchiha Sasuke-kun," Sakura introduced. She sounded giddier than she did when introducing the others. Plus! She added a –kun only in his name! Tenten gave Sakura a knowing smile.
"When does homeroom end?" TenTen asked slightly before the bell rang.
"And there you go, you got your answer," Temari said and went back to her seat.
So this is how they're sitting. The group that just met sits close to each other. None of them sit in the front row. They sat in the very last row. (Doesn't include the rest of the classroom, just showing where our usual gang is sitting :3)
Shikamaru Ino Hinata Windows
Rock Lee Kiba Naruto Sasuke Neji Windows
Sai Temari Sakura TenTen Windows
TenTen sat at second last row, with Shino being the one next to the windows in the very last row.
After the bell ended, the long white haired teacher Jiraiya quickly began classes. "I'm not even bother with marking some of you guys late for today because I'm lazy and cool like that. I'll let you get away with it for today. Now why don't you all form groups and introduce yourselves to get to know each other or catch up from summer. Today is your free or lucky day."
"That's his way of saying, I need to go back to writing my perverted X-rated books," Sakura whisper-giggled into TenTen's ears. TenTen giggled. The people here are so nice and friendly.
They all turned to each other forming an invisible circle-ish group. This time, Sai also joined in the conversation. "Hey, this is Sai, by the way," Sakura added, her hand fanned out across Temari to Sai.
"Do you guys want to do anything fun after school?" Ino asked.
"Is this a girl only event?" Shikamaru bothered to ask.
Ino smiled at him in a 'Really?' look. "You guys can join if you want to listen to a bunch of girls giggle and squeal and talk about girly matters."
"We can pass," Naruto said in an irritated look. He for one, wanted to go.
"Don't worry my youthful friends! We can always play ball in the soccer field!" Lee said with his voice fueled by energy again.
"Wow! I want to join too!" TenTen gushed.
"Tens! Don't betray us, we're going to have some quality girl time," Temari said in a sisterly bossy voice.
TenTen lauged. "Sure, that too!"
"You play ball?" Sasuke, a bit interested, inquired.
"I play all sports!" the brunette quickly replied. "My favorite is tennis out of the sports if you ask me to pick but I love playing them all equally!"
"Can't wait to see you play beach volley ball sometime soon, girl!" Temari said slapping playfully at her new girlfreind's shoulder.
"Anytime," she replied fake-rubbing her shoulder.
"Let me see your class schedule," Kiba said, handing out a hand for her to turn her schedule in. She did as told.
"You take AP Calculus?" Kiba asked, sounding amazed and shocked at the same time.
"I'm good at math, even my name is like Ten!" She said in a 'duh' kind of way.
"Ooh! Really? Then, you, me, Neji, Sasuke-kun, and Shikamaru are going to be together in that class!" Sakura chimed in happily.
"You're taking 2 APs?" Kiba interrupted again.
"AP Psych with Kakashi-sensei would be fun," Naruto told himself.
"Well, for that, us girls are going to be there to accompany you," Temari said sounding like she's going to almost embrace the girls.
"Neji here, took 5 APs!" Naruto said in a bragging way. "And Teme too!" He continued referring to Sasuke. "So I went in my way and took some APs myself too!"
"Really? What did you take, dobe?" Sasuke asked in a mocking sort of challenging tone.
"Oh yeah? I took AP Psych!" He acclaimed.
"Some APs? That's 1 AP," Sasuke mocked.
"You know what I love most about this school?" Ino asked rhetorically.
Naruto and Lee threw in some stupid answers which ticked Ino off a little.
"This school throws the most activities and party in the country!" Her voice rose to a higher notch sounding like there's going to be a party in the next few second.
"Yeah, anybody throwing the back to school party?" Naruto asked.
"I heard Kabuto-sempai is throwing it," Sai said, finally speaking, TenTen noticed.
"Why don't we just skip it for that night and hang at Temari's? Her parents are going to be out of town." Sakura suggested. "Just us," she looked at everyone in the eye. "Come on it'll be fun!"
"Yeah! We can totally do that," Temari agreed.
"Why not? It's funner than being at that nauseating party," Shikamaru agreed on behalf of the guys.
"I'm sorry, I told Kabuto I'm coming," Sai said, though he wanted to be at both places.
"I have to be there too, Gai-sensei told me to be a man of my word and I told Kabuto-sempai I will be there! Yosh!" Lee fired up.
"Okay, then it'll be just us there then," Ino smiled.
