I wanted to take a break from my other story. I don't know if I'll continue that one or not. Sorry if you read my other story and were waiting for me to update. But anyway, here's one that I like better. Hopefully you'll like it, too. :)

Disclaimer -- I do not own Naruto, or the characters.

Full Summary:

I needed to get into Konoha Academy -- it was my only option. The problem is that the only room available is with two rude, popular, mysterious guys named Neji Hyuga and Sasuke Uchiha. So now I, Tenten, am the enemy of all this school's jealous fangirls. And with other tougher, unknown obstacles getting in the way, I can tell this is going to be a long, long year. Great. Hopefully my new-found best friends Sakura, Ino, and Hinata will help me through this year -- If I even make it! Eventual NejiTen.

Chapter 1: Roommates

"Please," I begged to Tsunade.

"I'm sorry. There's no rooms left at this school. I could suggest another --" Tsunade replied.

"No! Konoha Academy is the only school within 50 miles. Please; there has to be at least one room left," I interrupted her.

"No."

"Are you sure?" I must have been annoying her.

"Positive," she replied.

Ugh. I didn't want it to have to come down to this.

It's the only choice I have.

"Please, my parents died a few years ago, and my Aunt and Uncle are nightmares. You have to let me in," I said, sniffling.

"No rooms are available. Well, none that you could live in anyway," Tsunade said.

"What do you mean by that?" I asked her.

"Well, there is one room . . ." Tsunade said, thinking.

"Well then, what's the problem?" I said, almost yelling.

"The two that live there are both boys," she explained.

"Oh. I see," I responded sadly. "Well, can't you make an exception?"

"I'm sorry, I can't. I wish I could. Rules are rules. And it says in the rules that we cannot put boys and girls in the same room together. It could cause many problems."

I growled. "Please."

"No, I'm sorry Miss Tenten," Tsunade replied, looking at some papers.

I just stood there. I didn't want to go back to my Aunt and Uncle's house. It was horrible there.

There had to be a way to get into this school.

Tsunade glanced at me a few times, obviously wanting me to leave the room.

But I didn't move.

A few minutes later, two more people walked into the room. One of them was a woman holding a pig, and the other was an older man reading a book.

"Oh! Shizune, Jiraiya, I'm glad you could come," Tsunade said, greeting the people. She looked over at me. "Tenten, could you please leave? We have some important business to take care of."

I suddenly had a thought that might help me.

"If rules are rules, then how come she gets to carry a pig, and he's reading a perverted book, and you're drinking alcohol? Don't tell me there's no rules against that!" I yelled, looking at Tsunade's bottle on her desk.

Tsunade glared at me. "That's an exception."

"Why? It doesn't make any sense to me. Then how come you can't make an exception --" I continued.

"It's an entirely different story," Tsunade said.

"No, it's not!" I argued. "And you know it!"

"Being in the same room with guys could lead to an investigation and I could get ---" Tsunade started, but I interrupted again.

"And reading an adult book, and drinking alcohol in a student environment wouldn't?" I questioned.

She looked at me for awhile, thinking of what to say. She could argue all she wanted, but I knew I had won.

Ha! I should become a lawyer or something.

"Well, yes, but . . . the student's parents would call, and it'd be far worse if that happened......"

"How would that happen if the students don't tell the parents about it? Why don't you ask those two guys if they're okay with it."

She suddenly smiled slightly. "Fine. We could use someone with your intelligence at this school anyway. But there's three conditions . . ." She started.

I started cheering inside of my head. It didn't matter. I would get to go to this school and live a normal life. I nodded.

"Here they are:

One: If anything happens, you are to report it immediately to us.

Two: When another room becomes available, you will move out immediately . . .

And Three: Don't tell the authorities about anything you saw here today . . ." she said, glancing at the bottle on her desk.

"Of course," I agreed.

"Now, here's your key, and Shizune will show you to your room....." Tsunade stated. "The two people you'll be staying with are Neji Hyuga and Sasuke Uchiha. They're good students. I wouldn't expect any problems from them."

I nodded again, and walked out of the room, following the lady with the pig.

What a strange school.

******

"Here's your room," Shizune announced. "I better get back to Tsunade." She mumbled, and sprinted down the hallway, with the pig (who's name I learned was Tonton. Isn't it similar to my name? Great.)

I gulped, and silently opened the door. The room was fairly large, and two boys were sitting on a bunk bed, watching the TV.

I saw a single-bed on the other side of the room, and it was empty, but the bed was made.

"Um, hello?" I whispered. Two pairs of eyes directed their attention towards me.

"You must be our new roommate. We received a phone call from the principal," a boy with long-brown hair stated matter-of-factly.

"Yeah. I'm Tenten," I said, introducing myself.

"My name is Neji Hyuga," the brown-haired boy said.

I nodded.

The other boy, who had black hair, with eyes to match it, said, "I'm Sasuke Uchiha."

"Nice to meet you," I muttered.

"That's your bed over there," Neji said, while pointing.

"Okay. Thanks," I replied to him.

I unpacked all of my belongings and collapsed on my bed.

Both of their eyes were glued to the TV -- It was a baseball game. Not that I minded or anything. I actually enjoyed watching sports, sometimes. Keyword: Sometimes.

About twenty minutes later, there was a knock on the door. I took this opportunity to take a break from the oh-so-exciting world of sports, and said to Neji and Sasuke, "I'll get it."

They didn't respond, so I jumped off of the bed, and opened the door.

I was faced by three girls. One of them had pink hair, and green eyes. The other had long blonde hair and blue eyes. Lastly, the other one had dark blue/black hair, and her eyes were pale and resembled someone's . . .

"Hello?" I said to them.

"Hello! We're just here to introduce ourselves. You're not busy, are you?" The pink-haired one said, excitedly.

"No," I replied.

"Okay, great, let's go!" The blonde chirped.

"Where are we going?" I asked them.

"To our room. Across the hall," the blonde replied.

"Okay . . . I'm leaving!" I said to Neji and Sasuke -- if they cared at all. No response. Rude jerks.

They dragged me inside a very colorful room, with posters all over the place. At least not everyone at this school was rude and obnoxious.

"Oh! By the way, I'm Ino," The blonde girl announced, happily.

"I'm Sakura," the pink haired girl said.

"A-And I'm Hinata. Nice to meet you," the shy girl said, well . . . shyly?

"I'm Tenten," I said to them smiling.

"Okay, Tenny," Sakura started.

"Tenny?"

"Do you like your new roommates?" Sakura asked.

"They seem okay, I guess. Not very talkative."

"They hardly ever talk to anybody," Ino explained. "But that makes them so much more mysterious, and hot!" Ino yelled.

Sakura glared at Ino. "Yeah. They have their own fanclub with like a hundred fangirls. Um, I-I like Sasuke."

"And so do I!" Ino announced.

Sakura and Ino exchanged death-glares.

"But Neji's okay," Sakura said, looking up at the ceiling.

"Yeah," Ino agreed.

Hinata finally spoke up. "N-Neji's my cousin, Tenten."

That's who her eyes looked like! "Oh, that stinks."

Ino and Sakura started giggling. I didn't exactly know why.

"What should we do now? " Ino asked.

Sakura rested her head on her hand, obviously thinking. "I don't know."

Hinata was sitting on a chair, not saying anything. She seemed pretty shy.

"I got it!" Ino screamed after a few minutes of thinking.

"You have an idea? What a shocker," Sakura said.

Ino stared at her. "Shut up, Forehead."

"Pig!" Sakura yelled.

(Apparently those were the insults they had for each other.)

"Forehead!"

"Pig!"

"Forehead!"

"Pig!"

Hinata looked at the two of them, but she must have been too shy to say anything.

"Forehead!"

"Pig!"

"Stop it!" I interrupted.

They quickly looked at me. "Sorry," they both replied.

"Now, what was your idea, Ino?" Sakura said to Ino.

"We should introduce Tenten to everyone else," Ino said.

"Great idea," Sakura replied.

"Everyone else?" I said, quietly.

"Yeah! Well, you met Neji and Sasuke, but there's still Naruto, Sai, Kiba, Shino, Shikamaru, Choji, Lee, Temari, Gaara, and Kankuro," Ino explained.

Wow. That's a lot of people.

"Ugh. You forgot Tayuya and Karin," Sakura said, sticking her tongue out. "But don't invite them."

"Oh, right," Ino said, wrinkling her nose. She picked up the phone, and called about twelve other people and told them all to come over.

A few minutes later, there was a knock on the door. I was introduced to three guys who were Naruto, Sai, and Kiba.

Naruto was a hyper-blonde boy who constantly spoke of random topics.

Sai was a boy who almost looked like Sasuke, except his skin was much paler. Almost completely white. He didn't talk much.

Kiba and Naruto, I assumed were friends, and Kiba carried a small dog on his shoulder. I wasn't sure if their were rules against pets but I didn't want to say anything.

Then I was introduced to Shino, Shikamaru, and Choji.

Shino was a mysterious boy who had an odd fascination with insects.

Shikamaru pretty much just came and fell asleep in the chair. Couldn't he have just done that at home?

Choji was eating all the snacks that Ino had put out.

Later, Lee, Gaara, and Kankuro arrived.

Lee had a bowl-cut, and large eyebrows, but he seemed nice. He kept going on about youth, and his idol, one of the teachers at the school, Gai-sensei.

Gaara was mostly quiet, but he was more talkative than Sasuke.

Kankuro brought a puppet along with him, and he was wearing make up. Strange boy, I'll tell you.

When I thought that that was it, three girls came to the door. Ino wrinkled her nose.

It must've been Tayuya and Karin.

"Oh, Temari, this is Tenten!" Ino said. "And . . . Tayuya and Karin."

Temari had her hair in four pig-tails, which was an odd hairstyle if you ask me, but who am I to talk? I wear my hair in two buns on the side of my head.

Tayuya and Karin walked over to me. "What's up with your hair?" Tayuya asked.

"What do you mean?" I replied.

"It's in two hideous buns," Karin said.

I gritted my teeth.

Ino noticed. "Hey, who invited you two, anyway? I only remember inviting Temari."

They both glared at Ino. "We invited ourselves."

"Then you can both un-invite, 'yourselves'," Ino replied to them.

"Whatever," they said, and they left the room, slamming the door along the way.

"Don't pay attention to them. They're probably jealous that you get to sleep in the same room as Neji and Sasuke. Temari was just unlucky to end up with them as roommates," Ino said, sighing.

"Oh."

A few minutes later, Naruto came up to me and asked, "Hey, do you like ramen?"

I looked at him, confused. "Yeah?"

"I can tell we'll be great friends already!" Naruto replied, smiling a goofy grin.

I smiled back.

After being introduced to everyone (trust me, it's a lot of people) it was about 5pm. After everyone left, I already had forgotten some of the names. I'd probably get used to them eventually.

I would have school tomorrow, and I didn't know what that would be like.

When I returned to the room, Neji was on his bed, writing something. I assumed it was homework.

I didn't want to say anything to him, but I felt like I wanted to start a conversation.

He looked up at me for a brief moment when I sat down on the bed, so I took the opportunity to say something.

"So . . . at this school, is everyone nice?" I asked him, fiddling with the sleeve of my shirt.

He didn't reply, but he kept staring at me. It was starting to get slightly disturbing.

"Are they. . .?" I asked again.

No reply.

Now, I decided was the time to be rude back to him. "Is something wrong with your voice?"

"No," he finally replied.

"Then how come you wouldn't answer?"

He sighed. "I didn't think you'd like the answer."

I had a confused look on my face for a moment, but soon I realized what he meant. "So, they're mean to everyone?"

"No. It will probably be just you," Neji said.

Wow. That's reassuring.

"Why?" I asked him.

He looked at me, unbelieving. "It's not that difficult to figure out why."

That's when it came to me. "Oh."

The 'F' word. Fangirls.

He stuffed his books back into his backpack, and left the room.

That gave me time to think.

If Tayuya and Karin were so rude to me because I was Neji and Sasuke's new roommate, I wondered how many other people at this school would react the same way.

They have their own fanclub with like a hundred fangirls . . . Sakura had said. If that was true, I would have to deal with about a hundred jealous girls.

Great. Just what I needed.

I could tell that this was going to cause me some problems because of the rule that I had broken in this school.

THE END!

If you think it's interesting, please review and tell me that. Or else I might think that people don't like it, and I will not update as quickly. It only takes like a minute of your time to review! I usually update every 1-2 weeks, unless something gets in the way, like school.

I'm also open for suggestions! Thanks for reading! :)
