"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.
Summary of Chapter: The gang introducing Tenten about some parts of the school. She sees Neji's picture and started feeling attracted.
Chapter 3: That time of the day
"Ooh! Lunch! Our table is reserved for us as always!" Ino cheered wiggling her body in a mini victory dance style.
"Of course, what else do you expect with Neji, Sasuke, and you sitting there?" Temari told Ino then turned to TenTen and quickly explained. "Those three are the most popular in our grade. The rest of us are for the ride," Temari rolled her eyes teasingly when she made her last statement.
"That's not true! Actually Tennie we're all like higher than middle class if you would put the school into social hierarchy." Sakura said sounding strictly business which was part of her little plan to make new girl laugh.
"Well right you are!" Ino said poking Sakura's nose. "Because the school is totally monarch and I'm the Queen," she winked at Sakura before whispering. "And you know my King."
Sakura giggled. TenTen got clueless. They went to their table – table 11. The group sat in a circle around the table, filling the entire table. They sat like this… Kiba Hinata Naruto Sakura Sasuke Ino Neji TenTen Shikamaru Temari.
"So how was AP Calculus?" asked Ino taking a small bite on a cherry tomato she brought for lunch in a cute purple, plastic box.
"Hn." Sasuke sounded. Shikamaru yawned; obviously he was too lazy to answer. "It was fine." Neji said coldly.
"Ok," Sakura mouthed to her food. "Same as always… teacher talked, we listened."
"It's just the first day, what do you expect? Of course it will be boring!" TenTen spoke on behalf of everyone.
"You know, you speak more than all of them put together just to reply one simple question." Kiba noted and everyone except the 3 that was made fun of laughed.
"Why do we all have art? You guys all love art?" asked a very curious looking Tenten.
"No, silly, some of us actually put some effort into our artworks but the rest of us just took the class because we didn't know what else to." Temari shrugged.
"Why do you ask, Tenten-chan?" Hinata asked in her faint voice.
"Ooh, I see, well it's weird because the one class that we all have together that's not mandatory is Art!" She continued. "Plus! In my old school, I only took it because Art class equals my naptime of the day,"
Sakura laughed. "It's okay, some of us don't even go to class on time, and some of us just decide to skip and go out to buy ice cream!" Sakura squealed at the last part and looked at Ino.
TenTen smiled, relieved to have made so many friends already. She shuffled her feet in happiness and suddenly lost balance and slightly fell on Neji. It was almost like she was leaning against him only side by side. She froze, wide eyed. Neji too, he froze, staring at his fork, which he had just lifted. The food dropped off the fork making the situation a little weirder.
"Ooh, sorry!" TenTen quickly said and sat up straight when blood resumed flowing into her brain after her moment of shock. Then she looked around and noticed a lot of girls staring at their table and some glaring at her. Maybe she saw the little scene that just played out.
"Um, hey, why is like, almost the entire female population in this room staring at our table?" she asked cluelessly.
"Oh, dummy! That's so cute!" Ino awed and went straight to explaining in a matter-of-factly way. "Because we have Sasuke and Neji in our table."
"What's wrong with that? Don't tell me they did something bad to those girls or to someone and everybody just knew about it!" TenTen said her words freaking her out by the time she finished saying it.
"Opposite of that!" Sakura chimed. "Didn't I just tell you like they're the most popular guys in our grade?"
"Hn." They both looked away, clearly annoyed by the fangirls.
"Oh, I see." TenTen smiled in relief.
Neji and Sasuke smiled inwardly too. 'This girl is hilarious.' They both thought. Nobody has ever come up with that kind of idea as to why every girl looks at them before. They were going to have more fun. They already have English, and AP Calculus together so far.
After finishing lunch, Naruto and Kiba ran towards the gym. Shikamaru disappeared, probably off to a secluded place so he could nap.
"Wait for me by the elevator before you go to calc class." Neji told TenTen and went off somewhere with Sasuke.
"Okay," she said after Neji turned her back to her and left.
"Hey," Sakura called. "Let's to go the library."
"We have to search and friend you on facebook." Ino told her and Temari grabbed her by her wrist and left with Hinata's wrist in her other hand. "I'm a pusher, I know." Temari whispered to them jokingly.
"Or a puller!" TenTen barked jokingly too. Hinata giggled softly.
In the library, there were only 3 computers available left. So Ino and Temari said something to 2 innocent looking guys which made them tremble and immediately give their computer art.
"Hey, what was that?" TenTen asked in amazement.
"Well let's see, it's our talent," Ino said and stylishly sat down while still looking at TenTen with a sly grin.
"Haha, what did you guys do that those poor guys?" Sakura asked while laughing.
"We have something against them," Ino smirked evilly and shifted her attention to her computer. "Okay, I'm going to look for you on Facebook."
"Are you a Tenten Chang?" Sakura scrunched her nose in confusion.
"Nope," TenTen said typing away on her computer.
"A Ten Ten?" Hinata asked quietly.
"You betcha," she replied and immediately Hinata hit 'add friend' as did the others.
"Wow, okay confirming friends." Tenten smiled.
Sakura got up from her seat and came over to Tenten and took the brunette's mouse under her control. "Here let me at the others for you," and she did. She added Neji, Sasuke, Naruto, Kiba, Shikamaru on Facebook.
"Thanks," TenTen beamed and got her mouse back under her control. She quickly typed in a 'Konoha high, who knew school and cool could belong in the same sentence?' as her Facebook status. 5 seconds later, the girls liked it.
Then a minute later she got a notification that Neji Hyuuga accepted her friend request. She smiled. When she was sure no one was looking at her screen, she decided to steal a peek at his wall. His profile picture was so perfect she tear her eyes away until Hinata chair made a loud screech.
"Where are you going?" Temari asked.
"To the bathroom," she replied softly.
TenTen quickly closed the tab of Neji's wall. She called it back in her mind. His Facebook profile picture of his profile view in his famous lopsided smile. He had bandages insteand of his headband and wore a washed out black coloured jacket. And his eyes were glaring straight at the camera.
Then she got another notification that Sasuke Uchiha accepted her friend request. And another saying he commented on her wall post.
You think so?
And a few seconds later, a bunch of notifications bombarded her message center. 54 likes on his comment and a lot of them weren't even friends with her on Facebook.
Omg! It's been such a long time since the last time Sasuke-kun made a comment longer than 2 letters!
A fangirl wrote and obviously she wasn't even friends with Tenten on facebook as it said Sayuri Megumi (friends with Sakura Haruno and 5 others).
Sasuke-kun! Hi! I just want you to know that you're like the hottest guy in the whole school!
And her wall post suddenly became a post for girls to shout out their love for Sasuke.
"WOW, Tens," Sakura said.
"Unbelievable right?" Tenten looked at her in a tired look. "I think Imma have to ignore my notifications as long as my wall post is on Facebook top story."
"Hang in there," Temari patted her back. Then Hinata came back just in time for the bell.
They went to the lift and the other girls already went in. "Come on, what are you dilly dallying for, silly?" Ino waved in a 'come here' motion.
"Um, you guys go ahead," Tenten smiled and waved goodbye. She waited for Neji and soon everybody has gone to class.
She looked at her feet as they shuffled impatiently. Then Neji arrived.
"You asked me to wait and you show up 7 minutes late!" Tenten scolded.
"Hn," he walked over beside her and pressed on the up button. "I was waiting for the people to clear out."
Tenten let out a frustrated sigh. "Why did you even ask me to wait?"
"Why did you even wait if I didn't show up?" He smirked.
"I-"
His smirked got bigger.
"Nevermind," she groaned in frustration and went into the lift as it opened up for them. "Jerk," she murmured softly.
Neji laughed inwardly.
"When are you returning me my phone?" He pressed on 6.
"I'll bring it back tomorrow." She told him. "You know you were such a nice person yesterday." She stopped.
"Get used to it." He told her. "Besides, just because I was a few minutes late, I became a jerk?"
Her mouth turned into an 'o' shape. "You heard that?" She said softly.
Then they arrived to their destination. And Neji went out the lift first with his lopsided smile in tact. Tenten followed behind him with a frown.
"Hey," Sakura shot out of her seat and came over to her new friend as the brown haired duo entered together. "What were you waiting for down there?" She asked as they walk back to their seats.
"Nothing at all," Tenten told Sakura nonchalantly, pointedly at Neji. When she saw he peeked a look she smirked, which he saw too. And he smirked.
Then the teacher got up from his teacher's desk and came over and official started lessons.
After AP Calc class ended, the four went to Art class together. It was in a penthouse at the rooftop. Tenten awed at garden like rooftop as she entered the art class.
"I heard the new art teacher is totally young and hot," Ino whispered into Sakura's ears making her giggle.
To their surprise, the new art teacher is young and hot. As in hotheaded as he was already going on about how mad he is on the phone with someone named Sasori.
The group scurried over to a seat where the others who got there first reserved. "Hey guys," Sakura greeted as she sat down.
Then the teacher finished talking and came to the center of the room and started to introduce himself. "I'm Deidara, un," he looked at them one by one in the eye.
"He looks like you," Temari whispered to Ino who shot a death glare in return.
He explained about how students shouldn't waste paint and the rules for using the brushes and how they should take care of the materials in the class.
"Hey Neji," Tenten turned to her side in a bored face. "Mind borrowing me your itouch?"
The Hyuuga prodigy took it out of his pockets and gave it to her. "Sweet!" she smiled and picked "What makes you beautiful" by One Direction and popped the black beats in her ears.
Neji quickly took the right side piece out of her ears and put it in his. She turned and looked at him then shrugged and buried her face between her arms and went to sleep.
The others all cooed at the sweet scene of the two except for 2 others. Then Neji threw a dagger glare at his friends who were awing at them. A few fangirls shot venom looks at Tenten who was just innocently sleeping.
