Sorry Everyone, I know this is very late but please I had my periodical exams finished today, and I do not have time to finish this chapter because I was not allowed to use my laptop. Then, I have to make an essay about essay on the last day before the start of exams when all I should do is review my past lessons. I hope you people can understand. Thank you!

Disclaimer: Although I have not had this before, I think I should say it, I do not own Naruto.

Itachi's POV

"I love you, huh?" Just who is this person? Tenten is still too young for these things. She cannot handle herself around men. I did not even think that she is capable of confessing her feeling to the person she likes. Now, she is only a freshman student and yet she can dare utter that phrase that he himself cannot even bring near his mouth. I will let this slide for now and investigate more on this. I may be jumping into conclusions immediately. I need to know who this person is.

Normal POV | the next day

The Uchiha cousins were up early for school. They had taken their shower and breakfast with utter silence. No one dared to talk knowing that Itachi is definitely in a bad mood early in the morning. When Sasuke had tried to talk, Itachi immediately cut him off.

"Don't even try." Sasuke had just closed his mouth by then.

Every one of them had moved now, picked up their own backpacks, and walked out of the house. It was eerily quiet during the whole trip to the school. Itachi was unusually reckless in driving to their school. Tenten and Sasuke were uneasy while inside the car. They do not know what caused him to act like this. Even so, the cousins went to their respective classes and bidding each other a silent goodbye.

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.

As Tenten walks to her class, she is feeling anxious. Have he heard me? I would be in big trouble if Itachi nii-san heard me. What should I do?

Sasuke saw the trouble in Tenten's eyes. He was curious as to what happened to Itachi. Does Tenten have to do with all this? Maybe it was because of the dishes. I mean she did not wash it after eating. Sasuke thought skipping in his mind about the incident where Tenten had asked Neji's phone number.

"Tenten, you're in front of your class. Is something bothering you?" Sasuke observed her as she always has distant eyes starting their way to school. She had said goodbye to me without answering my answer. Usually Sasuke would not let her pass but this just let be maybe she needs time to think about whatever is happening around her.

Tenten's POV

As I entered our classroom, I immediately sat right next to Sakura-san and laid my head against the table. I cannot help thinking about that conversation of us. I do not know if I should be happy or not. Happy because I know that until today he still loves me back, on the other hand, not because I do not know where to go after this. So what after he has accepted his feelings? What should we do now?

In addition, it was the possibility that Itachi nii-san might have heard us. It would cause me a lot of trouble. I know that he would not tell it immediately to my older brothers, he would confront me first before taking into action. I was broke out of my thoughts as Naruto came in front of me waving his hands and asking me.

"Hey, can I come to your house later? Sasuke said he would let us borrow his new laptop."

"Ask him." I simply replied. I am not in the mood for answering these questions of him. I hope he doesn't get any wrong ideas from my answer.

Naruto may have noticed the look on my face and my answer to his question, so he asked me. "Is there any problem? Why do look so distant?" I immediately answer him off and told him to ask Sasuke himself.

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.—

Lunchtime (Tenten's POV)

"Tenten-chan, should we sit with Sasuke-kun for today? Or you might want some space and go outside?" Sakura suggested.

"I think I'm going to wander outside for a while. Tell Sasuke I'm not going to eat." I wanted to walk for a bit. I want to think about everything. I never knew Neji thinks of me like that. I was the one at mistake. I should have understood him more. The heat of the sun fell down on my skin as I walk down the yard of the school. Air here is always fresh. I always wanted to go on our schoolyard to hang out but I do not have enough time, feeling this cool air relax me. I should have come here more often.

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

Neji's POV

Sasuke had told me that Tenten was not going to eat lunch. I was planning to talk to her and spend some time. I felt happier than usual though I have not shown it publicly.

Since I cannot find her, I should just try next time. For today, I want to reflect on my actions and go outside, like the schoolyard. That place has always been the peaceful place I this school for me. Peace and quietness surrounded its green and fresh area. Cool air can be felt from there, which will always make you feel comfortable.

Then, as I was lost in my own thoughts, I spotted a brown-haired girl walking through the trees and sitting on the bench. Does not that look like Tenten? What is she doing here? At last, I can personally talk to her.

I walk through the corridors and down the exit to the schoolyard. I walked quietly and noticed that Tenten was taking nap. She looks so vulnerable. I missed this part of her, the part that she is not always scared and timid.

Suddenly, I made up my mind. I want her back.

A/N:

Sorry for the late update, I don't have time because after exams, I was free, no assignment and others but I just have to be so cool and download a game on my PC. Since last week, I was not in a mood to write or do my homework, so instead I have not finished this yet. Nevertheless, I think I will have more time to work on this because we have our 10 say holidays! Woohoo! :D

Thank you! Please review! :D
