Tentens POV

"What do you think we can buy with this money?" I asked my dear friend Temari, who was looking at the torn leather wallet that belonged to Neji Hyuga.

"A house." She laughed, and so did I. There was about 500 bucks in here, thats a lot of money to just be carring around, but he was at a fancy restaurant so maybe that explains why.

"My friends!" We heard a shout from the end of the hall. We both knew who it was from his voice, It was Rock Lee, one of my good friends, but Temari didnt like him because of his cheerful attitude.

"Hey Lee." I greeted. Lee brightly smiled and brought me into a big hug along with Temari.

"What do you want?" Temari growled. Lee dropped both of us on our feet and frowned. I clenched my fists, Lee only frowned when he was brought down by his bullies. Ill kick their asses if they did anything.

"I...I need lunch money..." He mumbled.

"Why? What happened to yours?" I asked. I already knew the answer.

"Well, If you must ask, I gave them to my friends!..."

"Lee...Were your only friends." Temari snorted.

"Lee, Did those assholes take your money?" I grabbed both of his shoulders and shook him violently, "HUH LEE DID THEY TAKE YOUR MONEY?! TELL ME!!"

He stopped me from shaking him. I could vividly see his eyes. He had big eyes, you could get lost in them, just like his eyebrows, but back onto his eyes, they were teary.

"Yes..." His voice cracked, "Kimimaro said he needed money and he even said he'll think about letting me on the soccer team, so I gave him my money and he laughed in my face..." He was breaking down in front of us and people were starting to stare.

"Stop crying, Ill get your money back." I brought him in for a hug in front of everyone. His huge tears were soaking my black shirt I had on, "For now, take this money." I passed him a 50 dollar bill that Neji had. If you think its unfair that Im giving Nejis money to Lee, just a little reminder that Neji is also one of Lees bullies.

"But I only need 5 dollars..."

"Shut up and take the money before you get 0 dollars." Temari said.

"Thank you so much guys! I dont know where I would be without my beautiful, youthful friends!" Lee hugged us one more time and ran off.

"Without us, he'd be getting his head dunked in the toilet by now...and probably by us." Temari whispered in my ear sarcastically. Im not a big fan when she makes fun of lee, but I couldn't help but laugh.

"There you are!" Neji called from down the hall. I gave temari a little push and she got my meaning. She left me in the hallway with just Neji and other kids.

"Whats up?" I casually asked him while leaning against the wall.

"You know exactly whats 'up', Give me my wallet and everything you bought with it."

"I bought new underwear with it." I lied.

"Then give me your panties, I dont care, I want my money back." 

"Oh! Did you hear that ladies and gentleman, Neji Hyuga, your student body president, wants my panties that I am currently wearing! Maybe you shouldn't vote-" Neji covered my mouth with his hand. Only some people were starring.

"I didnt ask for anything but my wallet, So false alarm everyone." He reassured everyone.

The bell rang throughout the hall and everyone scrambled to get to class. My next class was PE with guy, and yes that is his last name. Just wait until you hear his first name.

"Aw dang...I guess I cant give you your wallet now since class is starting."

"Did you forget that we have the same class together?" He smirked.

Dammit, we only had one period together and that was PE, how could I forget? Damn this cruel world. With fast thinking I ran away from him and into the gym. People starred as me and him chased each other for a few minutes until I ran into the girls locker room to change into my gym clothes.

A loud bang on the door echoed through the room, emphasizing Nejis anger with either his fist or his face. I hope his face hit the door and he'll just forget about his wallet.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Guy blew his whistle a few times and called for a stop.

"Great job everyone! Since were done with all the exercises, Just run laps around the gym until the bell rings." He blew his whistle and we all groaned while we jogged around the gym. Temari caught up to me and kept at my pace.

"Yo." She said.

"Sup"

"Did you give him back his wallet?"

"No way, He'll have to kill me first before he gets it."

Temari snickered, "Oh I think hes planning on it." I turned to her and raised an eyebrow in curiosity. She waved her head, telling me to look behind.

I quickly turned my head and saw not too far behind Neji Hyuga and his buddy Shikamaru talking, while both of them giving us dirty looks.

"Ill fight them with my towel after I take a nice, hot shower...gods im tired" I complained, I wasnt a big fan of PE.

"Me too, I feel like Im gonna collapse if guy makes us do anything else." Temari complained with me.

We were the 4th and 5th person in the front of the crowd running. In first place was a new freshman who had short brown hair, her name started with an M, but I couldn't remember it that well. In second was Temaris younger brother, not the redhead but the one with brown hair, Im not good at remembering names. And the person in front of us was a girl named Fuu, that much I can remember. She had quirky blue hair and orange eyes and I think she is a writer for the schools newspaper. I knew that because she did all 5 articles of me getting suspended.

The bell rang and guy blew his whistle. Man, oh, man does he love that whistle.

"Get showered up folks! Then get to your next period."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A nice refreshing shower can really do a toll on you. I want to take a nap now rather then continue my day.

"Hey Temari, You think we should ditch school?" I asked while wringing out my hair.

"No way, You can, but Im staying. I have a test in my last period." She said while washing her body.

I groaned and wrapped my towel around my body. I stepped out of the stall from the shower and inhaled the steam from the all showers. I made my way over to my gym locker and opened it. I tossed my gym clothes in there. I heard laughing in the distance. Mockery laughing, and I knew exactly who it came from.

I walked over to the end of the lockers, I hid behind it while I watched. I was surprised at what I saw. There were boys in the girls lockerroom, specifically Shikamaru and Neji, there was also this pale boy behind Shikamaru, He was an illustrator for the newspaper, Sai is his name, but Im not sure.

Sakura and Ino were in front of both of the boys, laughing at something in one of the shower stalls.

"God I thought running would make you lose at least a little weight!" Ino mocked.

"Leave me alone." The unfamiliar voice said behind the stall.

"Aw why should we? Were just trying to help you out with your weight problem, fatty." Sakura laughed.

I tightened my grip on my towel. There they go, another victim to a cruel bullying world. This time, they'll piss off since Im here. I walked up to the stall and leaned against the wall, getting the attention of the preppy kids.

I looked over the stall and saw who they were making fun of. The freshman who was in front of the jogging crowd. She was naked, and apparently they stole her towel just to make fun of her. She wasnt even fat, they were just trying to get into her head.

"Pick on someone your own size." I told them.

"And why should we listen to you? Youre probably just as heavy as her." Ino snickered.

"Youre right, maybe I am, but maybe you guys should look at yourselves. You both look anorexic. Maybe thats why you cant pick on someone your own size, because no one is as anorexic as both of you."

Sai bursted out laughing, and shikamaru tried to hide a grin, so did Neji, but its not like I care about what they think about what I said.

"You...I...We...Ugh whatever! Cmon were leaving." Sakura left in a hurry, Ino grabbed both Shikamaru and Sai and ran with her. Neji simply walked by himself behind the crazy bunch. He smirked at me and checked me out with his eyes. I watched him disappear behind the lockers.

"Thank you...I thought they were never gonna leave." She covered her body parts with her hands. I smiled at her and took off my towel, exposing my whole body to the locker room and handing my towel over to her so she could cover herself.

"Its no problem, oh and also give me back my towel at the end of the day or Ill hunt you down."

She smiled and nodded her head, "My name is Matsuri, whats yours?"

"Tenten, I thought youve heard about me, judging by how I was in the papers last month." Good times, I threw a firecracker in the toilet and it exploded. I wasnt suppose to get caught but someone had to tattletale on me. To this day I still don't know who it was.

"Im new here, I transferred from Suna." She told me.

"My friend transferred from Suna too, maybe she can give you tips if youre having a hard time."

Just as if I magically got my wish, Temari appeared from behind me. She wrapped her towel around me and leaned against the wall with me.

"Its hard at first because people from konoha are real assholes, but you get use to it, You either get bullied or be a bully here." She told her, and she wasnt lying at all. I remember when Temari first came to Konoha, I was the one that stepped up for her when a few kids kept bullying her, then she turned her back on me, but we made up by teaming up to stop the preppy kids and still cause trouble. It all worked out in the end.

"I see..." Matsuri muttered under her breath. "Well alright, I hope Ill see you guys in the future."

"Of course." I assured her.

She walked away from us and towards the lockers.

"Im tired of hanging in this steamy hell hole, Ill meet you outside the gym so we can go to math together." Temari patted my back and walked away, she was already dressed in case you were wondering.

She was right too, It was like a sauna in here.

Just as I was about to walk back to my locker, I headbutted something hard and ashened, but still had a hint of color to it.

I rubbed my forehead and met eyes with Neji. He was still here? Oh goody... Im being sarcastic by the way. I think the worse part of this situation was that He was just as naked as me, and the only thing separating our naked bodies from each other were towels.

"Hello Mitsashi."

"Hi Hyuga, Can you move so I could get dressed?" I tried to go around him but he stretched his arm to stop me from passing him. I tried going through the other side of him, but another arm shot up.

And the only thing holding up his towel was sheer willpower now... please dont fall on me precious towel.

"My wallet Tenten. Where is it?"

"Its in my gym locker, if youd let me get it, Id probably give it back to you." I tried getting passed him again but he still wouldnt budge. Now he was cornering me in the stall that Matsuri was in.

"I want my wallet now." He growled.

"Im trying to get it, You should move." I growled back. My back hit the tiled wall, but Neji didnt stop coming closer to me.

Both of his arms shot up again, but now they were leaning against the wall, hovering above my shoulders. His face was mearly a few inches from mine. His breath was heavy and warm, not like the steam in the lockerroom.

"Then I want something else from you." He mumbled in my ear. I knew what he meant but heres the thing. I dont like him, and when I kissed him at the restaurant was just to get his wallet to pay for dinner with Sasuke. I dont want to cheat on Sasuke, Hes my world to me, while Neji is just an Island to me.

"Ill get you your wallet, Just dont touch me." I said with a harsh tone. I felt Nejis breath disappear from my face. I looked up at him and he had a cold face. It showed no emotion.

"You said it was in your locker?" He asked.

"Yeah, Can I get it for you now?"

"Lead the way." He finally moved out of the way. I guided him to my locker. As I was unlocking the padlock, Neji put his hands on my waist and breathed in the air next to my neck, causing me to shiver.

"You smell nice..."

"Thanks...I bet you dont smell like sweat anymore." I tried to flirt back with him.

"You wanna check?" He whispered in my ear. I dropped the padlock and wrapped my arms around him and giggled as he kept blowing hot breath into my ear.

We heard someone clear their throat next to us.

It was Fuu.

"They want Tenten in the office...and were you guys...Uh making out?"

We both looked at each other and blushed. I pushed him away from me, causing him to hit his back on the lockers.

"50 bucks says you'll forget what you saw AND heard." I proposed to her.

"Hm...Raise it up 10 bucks and I wont open my mouth about it."

I opened my locker and passed her 60 dollars from Nejis wallet. She put her hand out, signaling me to shake it. She had a firm grip, and when she let go, I had a hall pass to go to the office. I didnt know why I was heading up there, but I guess I was.

"Im going to the office too because Im an office aid... And also I better get my wallet back or you'll be in trouble." Neji told me while rubbing his back.

"Just leave before I tell guy that you were in the ladies locker room."

"He wont mind." He fired back.

"Ill tell him that you were SPYING on the girls getting undressed."

"OKAY OKAY! Im leaving...Sheesh..." He muttered as he walked away from me and out the door.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I got up to the office and sat down in the waiting chair just outside the principals room. She was busy with some other kids right now. I played with my fingers as I waited for her to finish.

"Well...well...well." Neji said while taking a seat next to me.

"Did you get in trouble too?" I asked.

"No, Im just sitting here with you until Tsunade calls you up."

"I see..." I responded with dully.

"I also have a question for you..." He said.

"Shoot"

"Why is your last name Mitsashi when your dads side is Sarutobi? Shouldn't your last name be Sarutobi?"

"Uh how did you know it was my dads side?" I questioned, obviously curious about how he knows. He started to sweat and stammer.

"Well, I was a little curious about you and I may have searched a little on your profile in the office files." He awkwardly chuckled.

"I appreciate your honesty, so as a reward, Ill tell you why. You see, My dad loved my mom so much, and he loved me so much before I was born, He wanted me to take my moms last name so he'll always have a piece of her if something happens to her."

"I see, So your mom and dad must love each other very much." He smiled at me. I frowned and felt the rock in my throat that I get from feeling sad pop up again.

"Well...Not exactly. A couple of years ago my mom lost interest in my dad and found another man in her life, and my dad is still madly in love with my mom...So yeah, I wish I could change my last name so I dont have to remind him of her."

"Oh...Im sorry, Well even if he still loves your mom, He still loves you too, so dont feel bad for what happened." He patted on my shoulder. I smiled at him and looked around before what I was about to do. No one was looking. I gave Neji a quick peck on the cheek, and his whole face turned a dark shade of red wine.

"Were ready to see you Tenten." Shizune called out.

I reached into my pocket and grabbed Nejis wallet. I put it in his lap and got up to enter hell once again.

"Tenten, Ive been told that you called Ino Yamanaka and Sakura Haruno 'Anorexic', which both of them found very offensive-" I cut Tsunade off with a quick snap of my fingers.

"Lady Tsunade, If I may?"

"Proceed."

"They were making fun of a freshman, I had to stand up for her, Trust me when I say if anyone is the victim its a girl named Matsuri, I didnt catch her last name, but she was being bullied by them."

Tsunade looked at Shizune, and Shizune looked back at Tsunade.

"We have 2 Matsuris, Can you describe which one you were talking about looks like?"

"Short hair, light brown hair color, and fair skin tone." I explained.

"Is she a freshman?" She asked me. I nodded my head. Shizune showed Tsunade something on her clipboard.

Both of the ladies turned their head back to me.

"We'll go into further investigation with this, for now please try to keep your comments to yourself Tenten, Id hate to ruin your 'Good girl' streak."

I got up and showed my respect towards both of them by bowing. I strutted out of the principals office, unharmed for the first time.

Sakura Haruno and Ino Yamanaka are now on my hit list for my next prank...

Believe it...and no Im not turning into Naruto, Hes the last person Id want to turn into.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I walked out of my last class, desperately looking for Temari and Matsuri so I could leave school.

I waited at the opening door where everyone was rushing out of to go home, This was the usual spot on where I would meet Temari, but I didnt see that spiky, dirty blonde hair anywhere.

She wouldn't leave without me...would she? Is it because I never came out of the gym to walk her to math class together? I got butterflies in my stomach just thinking about it.

I waited for another 5 minutes and no sign of Temari, but thankfully I saw a short girl walk towards me.

"Heres your towel, thanks again Tenten." Matsuri said with a smile.

I grabbed the towel and put it in my backpack, "Yeah anytime." I dully said.

"Whats wrong?" She asked me. She looked sincere, unlike when most people ask me whats wrong and they usually dont listen.

"I havent seen Temari, have you seen her?" I asked desperately.

"Actually I have seen her."

"Thank god! Where is she?!" I shouted at her.

"Shes outside, right over there" she pointed outside the door. I looked out the door window and saw her talking to someone who I couldn't exactly see.

"Alright, thanks Matsuri! See you around!" I waved at her while running through the door. I could finally see who temari was talking to. She was talking to Shikamaru, and it looked like they both were happy seeing each other.

I walked up to both of them and put my hand on Temaris shoulder, while leaning against her, "Is he giving you trouble Temari?"

"No, we were just talking, but maybe I should head home...Bye Shikamaru." Temari said.

"Bye Temari, Ill see you tomorrow." 

They both waved at each other as Shikamaru walked away, Shikamaru finally disappeared from us.

"That was awkward." I blurted out.

"You made it awkward, we were having a nice conversation too!" Temari yelled at me.

"Sorry" I sincerely apologized.

"Its fine, Lets go home before I sock you in the mouth." She threatened me teasingly.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Okay bye Temari, see you tomorrow." I waved at her while she drove off. No one was waiting outside for me like usual. I opened the door and didnt find my grandpa on the couch like usual, my dad wasnt at the kitchen table doing paper work,and I didnt smell Asumas smoke, but thankfully Konohamaru was sitting on a stool next to the kitchen counter, texting someone.

"Who are you talking to?" I asked him while pulling up a stool next to him. Konohamaru blushed and hid his phone away from me.

"N-no one."

"Stop lying to me, before I snatch the phone and read your messages out loud." I threatened.

"Okay okay...So Ive been talking to the prettiest girl in school, and I think she likes me back, but Im not sure, I havent exactly talked to her in real life, but she knows I exist." He told me. I awed really loud.

"Whats her name?"

"T-Thats none of your business, I dont want you messing up my life!" He yelled.

"I wont do anything I promise." I assured him.

"Okay....Her name is Hanabi and shes really cute, the cutest girl in 7th grade." He smiled.

"I want to meet her." I said cheerfully.

"No, no way."

"Why not? Konohamaru, I am a girl myself, I would know what other girls want."

"Yeah but shes different then you. She doesnt cause trouble."

"Trust me, If youre a pretty girl, you cause trouble. Let me come to school with you tomorrow. Ill help you talk to her and give you tips." I said. Konohamarus school started 30 minutes before mine, so It would be okay.

"Fine...But you will NOT talk to her at all, do you understand?" He grumbled.

"Yeah yeah ,I wont interfere with your love life you dork." I ruffled his hair, "Wheres Asuma, dad, and Grandpa?"

"I dont know, It was like this when I got home too. They didnt leave a note or anything." He said, just as worried as me.

"Well I guess we'll find out later. Make sure you compliment her often or she'll get bored with you." I warned him.

"R-Right! Thanks Tenny." He went back to his phone, probably texting her again.

A 12 year old boy could get the prettiest girl in school to like him back, yet I cant even get a text back from Sasuke.
