Thanks to all the people who reviewed! Sorry it took longer than I expected. I had a slight writer's block for a few days.

The Next Morning:

I slammed my fist against the bathroom door. "Open up!"

"Hn," Neji said for the five-thousandth time today.

I didn't even know what that meant.

"If you say that one more time -- when you come out of this bathroom -- I'm going to strangle you!" I said, pressing my face against the door.

No response.

I sighed. "Other people live here too, you know. I'm going to be late!"

"Hn," he said, and a few minutes later he opened the door. "What is it?"

I growled. "I need to brush my teeth," I said, frustrated. He quietly stepped out of the way as I walked in. "What were you doing for half an hour in there?"

"Is that your business?" Neji replied rudely. What a jerk.

"Yeah. It is. I've been waiting to go in for half an hour."

"Brushing my hair," he whispered so softly that I wondered if I had imagined what he said.

I had to struggle to keep from laughing. It was just sort of funny because he had longer hair than I did.

I looked at him for a long moment, but then slammed the door in his face, and started brushing my teeth.

I thought I heard him mumble 'Hn' again but I wasn't too sure.

After I had finished, I fixed the two buns that were on the side of my head. They had been messed up from when I was sleeping.

Yep. I sleep with the buns in my hair. Is that a problem?

I looked at myself in the mirror. I was glad that this school didn't have a uniform. I would much rather wear jeans and a T-shirt, than have to wear a skirt.

When I walked out of the bathroom, I searched through my belongings until I found what I wanted. I put a necklace around my neck. It had the letter 'T' engraved on it. I smiled slightly. It was my good luck charm.

I would need it.

I looked over at Sasuke's bed. He was awake, too.

Today was going to be my first day of school here.

Neji had said last night that I probably wouldn't be too popular with most of the girls. That they would hate me.

I hoped he was wrong. I didn't need enemies.

I would get rid of these two stupid roommates very quickly if it meant that more people would like me.

I placed my hand on the doorknob, and started turning it. "I'm leaving." I didn't know if they cared or not. Probably not. I mean, why should they?

When I walked out into the hallway, I heard Sakura, Ino, and Hinata talking from inside their room.

I could only hear fragments of the conversation.

"Where's my brush?"

"We're going to be late!"

"Forehead!"

"Pig!"

"Stop fighting . . ." I heard a small voice whisper. Hinata.

I pounded my fist against the door. When Ino opened it, her eyes immediately widened.

"What?" I asked.

"You want me to fix your hair?"

"NO!" I screeched.

"Oh, well, then why are you here?"

"I was wondering . . . if you could show me where the office is . . .?" It sounded like more of a question as I said it.

"I-I can show you, T-Tenten," Hinata stuttered.

"Oh, okay. Thanks!"

For most of the time to the office, both Hinata and I were silent. I hated silence.

"So. . . do Sakura and Ino fight like that a lot?"

Hinata glanced over at me. "Y-Y-Yeah."

"Oh." I frowned. "Every day?"

"P-Pretty much."

"Wonderful."

She chuckled a little bit. "You get used to it."

I sighed. That's when I noticed that Hinata's stutter had went away.

But I didn't want to ruin it by mentioning anything.

"What are the teachers like?"

"T-They're okay. But Jiraiya -- the health teacher -- is pretty weird."

"Weird . . . how?" I mused.

"He's a . . . um, he reads this one book a lot."

That guy! The one from yesterday. "Oh! That pervert is the health teacher!?"

Hinata cringed slightly at the word. "Well, y-yeah."

"Crap," I muttered to myself.

It was quiet for a little while longer, and I didn't even notice we arrived at the office.

"U-Um, here it is," Hinata announced.

My head jerked up. "Oh. Thanks!" I said as I walked into the office. Hinata walked away somewhere.

A lady was at the desk, furiously typing on her keyboard. "Damn computer!" she shouted.

I cleared my throat, and she looked up, embarrassed. "How may I help you, miss?"

"I need my schedule. I'm new here . . .?"

"Oh, certainly! What is your name?" She seemed eager for some reason.

"Tenten."

She pounded her fingers on the keyboard, like she was angry about something. But that's not really my business, though.

All of a sudden, the printer next to her produced one single sheet of paper, and she handed it to me. "Here."

"Thanks." I walked out of the office as soon as I could.

By the time I made it out of the door, students were already starting to head to class.

Some girls pushed me out of their way; I didn't even know if they knew who I was yet.

A girl with her hair in two pig-tails walked over to me. She titled her head to the side. "Are you lost?"

"Not . . . exactly. Do you know where Mr. Hatake's room is?"

"What's your name?" The girl asked in an innocent voice.

"Tenten. You?"

"Aya," she said in a bright and cheerful voice. "Oh! Right, Mr. Hatake's room is. . . down the hall, and make a left. It should be on the right side."

"Thanks!" I replied. What was Neji talking about? These people seem so nice.

I walked towards the end of the hallway, and turned, and made a left. Where's room 118?

Room 109? No. Room 108? No. 107? No. I continued walking, until I reached the end of the hallway, and the numbers kept going lower.

I breathed in deeply. That girl gave me the wrong directions. Great.

I turned around to be faced by three girls. One of them was that Tayuya girl from yesterday.

"Yeah?" I asked them.

They hovered around me. "What?" I asked again.

They all had mean looks on their face. I could tell this wasn't going to end well. I bit my lip.

What would fangirls like?

That's when a light bulb should have turned on above my head. You know, like in cartoons?

I smiled.

"Oh my gosh! It's Sasuke and Neji-kun!" I screeched, pointing behind them. They immediately turned around, and I pushed past them to try to find this 'Kakashi' person's room.

I kept searching, but I couldn't find this room. I was beginning to think it didn't exist.

I wandered down the hallways; they were deserted.

Someone tapped me on the shoulder. I was going to turn around and punch them, but I noticed he looked like a teacher.

He had silver hair, and he was tall. Almost six feet. He had a mask covering his face, and he was holding a small, orange book. Great. The same one that the Jiraiya-perv was holding.

"Hello," I whispered in a frightened voice.

"I'm Kakashi Hatake," he said proudly. The corners of my lips pulled into a smile. This was the man I'd been looking for.

"Oh. I'm your n-new student," I said to him. "I didn't know where your room was ---"

"I'll show you." That's when Kakashi led me to a room on the other side of the school.

He pushed the door open, and I walked in cautiously after him.

Kakashi motioned for me to sit down in one of the seats. The only available one was next to Sasuke.

As soon as Sasuke heard someone sitting next to him, he gave me a death glare. But after he looked at me for a moment, he turned the other direction.

I sighed. Maybe he didn't hate me as much as most people. Hopefully.

Kakashi cleared his throat. "We have a new student today, class," He started. Crap. "Her name is Tenten. Who are your roommates?" he asked, looking directly at me.

That was probably the worst thing he could've done.

I looked next to me, and I saw Sasuke playing with a pencil in his hands. Then I looked at Kakashi. "Neji Hyuga. . .and Sasuke Uchiha."

I could feel the glares on me. All the fangirls. I couldn't even count all of them. It was probably around twenty in the room. My face heated up.

"Oh. Wow. Where did you move from?"

"The country area in Konoha," I mumbled to the desk.

"Oh, yes. I've been there before. Nice little town," Kakashi said, obviously noticing the tension in the room.

"Uh-huh."

Kakashi looked at the clock, and as soon as he did, the bell rang. "Oh. Time to go!"

The students scurried out of the classroom, but I stayed to ask Kakashi a question. He noticed me still in the room.

"Um . . . where is Kurenai's classroom? I have her next," I said to him.

"That's down the hall. You just have to make a right when you get to the end." He pointed in the direction.

"Thank you."

I headed in the directions that he had given, but was stopped by a girl with purple hair. Wonderful.

"Hey, you!" She said in a high-pitched voice.

"What is it?"

"Aren't you that new girl -- TwoTwo -- or something like that?"

I frowned. "Tenten."

"Yeah, whatever. Well, I'm Ayame, and you should remember my name!"

"Why?"

Her nose wrinkled, but then she smiled. "You'll know soon enough." Then she skipped down the hallway.

What a weird person.

A few moments later, I stood in front of the door. I gulped. Another class. More enemies to meet.

When I walked in to the room, the class was already filled. Only one seat in the back of the room wasn't.

What a coincidence. It was Neji. My other roommate. Wonderful.

I carried my books to the back of the room, and cleared my throat. He looked up at me, but then looked back down.

I frowned. "I need to sit there. And your books are sort of in the way . . .?"

He looked over to the seat next to him, and pushed his books onto his desk.

I plopped down into the seat, and took out my schedule. Kakashi for homeroom, Kurenai for Math, Orochimaru for Science, Jiraiya for Health, Kakashi again for Study Hall, Iruka for History, Lunch, English with Anko, and Gym with Gai.

Yes.

"Okay, students. Please open your math books to page 320." Kurenai spotted me in the back of the room, and rushed over to a cabinet, and took out a book.

"Thanks," I mumbled.

Kurenai wrote some numbers on the board. With letters. This isn't spelling. What the heck? This is Geometry class. You know, the one that's supposed to be with shapes?

She continued writing long equations on the board, and I felt as if I was going to faint.

This was like Greek to me. And I didn't know how to speak that language.

Ugh.

Study Hall

"Hey, Tenten, right? You can sit with me," a green-haired girl with pink eyes, a blue headband, and a red shirt and a purple skirt, said to me.

I gulped. It had already been seven people who have acted nice to me; then they turned out to be Fangirls, but I wanted to sit next to someone.

"Okay," I said cautiously.

"Great! Come here," she pointed to a desk near the middle of the room. Heh. At least it wasn't in the back. "I'm Nami, by the way."

"Nice to meet you."

"Wait. . . are you that Tenten who lives with Sasuke and Neji?" She looked down at the ground.

"That's me," I said waiting for her to attack me.

"Oh." She sighed. "That's okay! I like Neji, but it's not like your dating him, right?"

"Ew, no," I said, sticking my tongue out.

She smiled. "Good."

Her teeth were a bright-white, which matched perfectly with the odd colors that she was wearing.

"Sit down everyone," Kakashi announced. "I'm reading, so don't interrupt! No talking!"

A few people were glaring at Kakashi. But most people started drawing, reading, or doing their homework.

I was starting my math homework, when a note came flying into view.

I opened it up.

Hey TwoTwo,

Do you think you could get Neji and/or Sasuke to go on a date with us?

-The girls 3 seats behind you.

I replied angrily.

It's Tenten!

No.

I looked behind me and saw three girls sitting and giggling about some -- probably stupid -- joke.

One of the girls furiously scribbled something onto the back of the paper.

*sigh*

And we were going to let you join our FanClub if we could get dates with them. Too bad. Now, you are the FanGirl Enemy #1. Except for that retarded Nami. She's so stupid. Prepare for war.

I looked over at the girl next to me; Nami. She was kicking her feet back and forth underneath her desk, while reading. She looked like a VERY bored younger child.

I wrote one final note to them.

Sounds fine to me.

-Tenten

I could see that they were writing another note to me, when I saw that another note from across the room landed on their desk. They read the note, frowned, and then they dropped it on the floor. I picked it up.

It was from Neji. My eyes widened.

Leave her alone. It's very distracting while I'm trying to work.

-Neji

I didn't even realize Neji was in here. I hadn't seen him for a few hours. I smiled at him, but he ignored me. Figures.

Lunch

When I was heading for lunch, a girl tapped me on my shoulders. "Yes?"

She looked at me angrily. "Tenten."

"Uh-huh."

"I heard that your parents abandoned you. And you're Aunt and Uncle couldn't stand you. Am I right?"

I became furious. "No. And my life is none of your business," I said, clenching my fists.

"Okay. Don't admit it. But I know the truth," she said, moving her finger back and forth. "Nobody likes you. And guess what? No one EVER will."

"That's not true!"

She smiled. "Whatever you say."

That was it.

The last straw.

I had tried to control my anger ALL day, but this girl pushed me to my limits.

I lunged at her with my fist, and punched her in the stomach. She looked shocked, and then I pushed her away into the wall. She hit her head against the wall, and I noticed a red liquid on my fist. Blood.

"Shut up! You don't know anything!" I screamed at the girl, yanking her up by her collar. She looked terrified. I wasn't finished. I punched her in the stomach again, and kicked her feet away from underneath her -- causing her to fall on the ground.

"I-I'm sorry," she said.

"Apology NOT accepted."

I was sprinting at her again, but this time someone stopped me.

"Tenten!" I heard Ino's familiar voice. I immediately calmed down. She pulled me away from the girl, and towards the cafeteria.

The girl looked back at me, groaning in pain.

I growled at her, and entered the cafeteria.

"What are you doing?" Ino shrieked. "You could get suspended!"

"If you heard what that girl said. . ." I defended. "You would have done the same!"

"Still, it's your first day. And we warned you yesterday."

I took a deep breath. "I just lost my temper."

She chuckled. "It's okay. I would've killed some of those girls by now if it wasn't for Hinata."

Ino led me to the table where I was greeted by Sakura, Naruto, Choji, Shikamaru, Ino, Hinata, Kiba, Shino, Temari, and Lee. Neji, Sai and Sasuke were at some other table -- and I could care less which one.

"Oh! Tenten! I saw what you did to that girl! You were like. . ." Naruto paused, while punching his fist into an imaginary person. "WAM! I thought she was going to die!"

Kiba and Naruto started laughing. I forced a smile.

"Girls fighting. Ah, what a pain," Shikamaru mumbled.

Lee started crying rivers. "How un-youthful to use violence." He wiped a tear from his bug-like eyes.

"She deserved it! That girl is SO stupid." Sakura glanced around the table, looking at all the heads nodding in agreement.

"I think I want to fight you sometime," Temari said, thinking out loud.

I nodded my head. "Sounds fun."

"So," Hinata said, finally joining the conversation. "Other than the incidents, how was your day so far?"

"Fine," I lied. With Geometry, perverted teachers, evil looks, etc. I wasn't having a perfect day.

"Are you sure?" She insisted.

"Yep."

She looked at me strangely. What the. . .?

Ino glanced up. "Oh! Hinata always knows when people are lying. It's Hina's gift," she said, using Hinata's nickname.

Crap. "I'm not lying."

She looked at me again. "You don't have to say anything. I know you are," she said, playing with her fingers.

I looked at her in awe.

"Guess what I learned in Health today, from Jiraiya?" Naruto screamed.

"We don't want to know," Ino mumbled, putting her hand on her forehead.

"Neither do I," I said.

"Ah, too troublesome."

"Does it have anything to do with food?"

"Shut up you idiot!" Sakura yelled.

"I want to hear, Naruto!" Kiba told him.

Naruto smiled a mischievous grin. He moved his chair over to Kiba, and whispered in his ear.

Kiba's mouth dropped open. "Awesome!"

Naruto nodded his head. "Cool, huh?"

"Yep," Kiba agreed.

Everyone else at the table just sighed.

That's when I realized the cafeteria was very quiet. Nobody was talking.

Naruto took a pin out of his pocket, and dropped it on the floor. The sound echoed throughout the room. Leave it to Naruto to do something like that in an awkward moment.

Everyone was looking at us -- or, particularly -- me.

I looked at everyone, and put a smile on my face.

Why were they looking at me?

"You can continue your conversations, you know. There's no need to listen to us," I shouted, loud enough for everyone to hear.

I searched the entire room, and saw Neji, Sai, Sasuke, and three other guys at their table. Huh. They were the only ones not looking at me.

Suddenly, the room filled once again with the conversations of the high-schoolers.

That was very strange.

Then again, this school is, too.

THE END

I know, that ending sort of sucked. I didn't really know how to end it. So I just stopped it there. Next chapter will be up soon, hopefully.
