Episode 1: We're Best Friends

A teen girl rolled out of bed from a scream and crashed into the teal carpet. "Ouch! Ino, Sakura why the hell are you screaming?" She shouted into the open door.

"Sorry Tenten!" Two high-pitched voices called from downstairs. Hi, my name is Tenten. I'm currently living with my three friends Sakura, Ino, Hinata. They would be great roommates, well Hinata's already pretty great, if Sakura and Ino would stop screaming in the morning about who stole whose make-up.

A violet-haired girl appeared at the door with a first-aid kit in hand. "Ah, don't worry about it to much Hinata. Though I do need some earplugs by tonight." Tenten said jokingly. Hinata laughed lightly as she began to help Tenten get untangled from her sheets. Patiently Hinata waited for her friend as she went to take a shower and get dressed.

--15 minutes later--

Sakura and Ino were still arguing but at least it was only half as much since the other half of the time they were eating breakfast. Hinata and Tenten talked to each other as if Sakura and Ino weren't there. They had given up breaking the arguments a long time ago. Once they were finished they dropped the plates in the sink and locked the doors before leaving for school. "Hey Hinata isn't your cousin and his friends transferring from that all-boys school in Suna to Konoha High?" Ino asked to break the silence. She never liked it when her friends decided not to talk much. Maybe that was why she argued with Sakura a lot. No, she would not talk to herself just to make her look like the bad guy.

"Hey Ino! You can't hear Hinata's answer if you're all the way back there!" Tenten shouted when she noticed Ino had been left in the dust. Ino shook her head of her previous thoughts and ran to catch up to her friends. Ino laughed nervously when she had caught up but the other two ignored it and waited for Hinata's reply.

"Yeah, I think they're in the same class as us." Hinata replied looking through her cell phone's text messages. Sakura looked at Tenten with a mischievous gleam in her eyes and waited until Tenten nodded. Hinata was too concerned with her cell phone to notice what her friends had been planning. The bun-haired girl ran ahead while grabbing Hinata's cell phone. Hinata chased after Tenten and Sakura and Ino followed the two. They had reached school by the time Tenten stopped and Hinata had retrieved her cell phone once more.

The four laughed heartily at their morning they just had. When they walked to their lockers they were surprised to see four boys using the lockers placed between theirs. "Hello?" Tenten greeted unsurely, unfamiliar with the new teens. They all turned in unison similarly to how the four girls would when they were about to kill someone for scaring them. "Um, hi?" She repeated.

"N-Neji-nii-san," Hinata stuttered. It was a while since the girls had heard Hinata stutter. She had gotten over it when Tenten, Ino, and Sakura put her through outgoing hell to stop her habit. Now she would probably have to go through that again. Shit. Ino put a hand on her shoulder as if to alleviate her of her doubts of her friends.

The longhaired teen nodded slightly to his younger cousin and quickly glanced over her three other friends. When he had caught sight of the last girl, a bun-haired one, she was glaring at him. "What the hell are you looking at?" Neji and his friends raised an eyebrow in surprise. Ino, Sakura, and Hinata weren't surprised at their older friend's reaction at all.

"Hn."

Tenten leaned closer to Hinata but her voice remained the same volume so the boys would hear, "Is your cousin always such an arrogant jerk?" Hinata giggled and nodded. Ino and Sakura joined in the laugh and pushed the boys away slightly to get to their lockers. "I suggest you boys get your forms in." She warned wagging her finger in Neji's face. He slapped it away and stormed off with his friends but of course not without partial payback.

"Later pinky." The raven-haired teen said coolly. She barely took part yet she got dragged into this???

"Troublesome," The pineapple-haired student muttered while loosening the mandatory tie around his neck.

"L-later." The blonde imitated. Sakura, Ino, and Tenten were about to strange him for making fun of Hinata but were stopped by the victim herself.

"Hinata!" They shouted in unison but knew not to struggle against their friend's wishes.

Hinata smiled weakly, "It's okay. I'll just put something in his ramen later as payback." Her voice was soft enough that only people who were used to the volume would actually be able to hear. The other three nodded but glared at the boys' backs as they left.

Sakura looked at her watch and gasped, "Oh my gosh! We are sooooo late!" Ino and Hinata looked as well and their eyes widened as well. Tenten had already begun running once she had grabbed the same papers the other three had earlier. Sakura, Ino, and Hinata ran to catch up and were breathless once they reached the choir room.

"Sorry we're late, Aya-sensei!" The girls bowed apologetically but lifted their heads up when they saw their sensei smile at them.

"You know what they say about singers," Aya started. The girls looked at her confusedly and Aya remembered she'd completely forgot what they did say! "Ah! Never mind! Just go on stage girls." The girls nodded and took four mikes and waited until the music began to play.

(Sakura) I'm tugging at my hair
I'm pulling at my clothes
I'm trying to keep my cool
I know it shows

(Hinata) I'm staring at my feet
My cheeks are turning red
I'm searching for the words inside my head

(Tenten) I'm feeling nervous
Trying to be so perfect
Cause I know you're worth it
You're worth it
Yeah

(All) If I could say what I want to say
I'd say I wanna blow you away
Be with you every night
Am I squeezing you too tight
If I could say what I want to see
I want to see you go down
On one knee
Marry me today
Yes, I'm wishing my life away
With these things I'll never say

(Ino) It don't do me any good
It's just a waste of time
What use is it to you
What's on my mind

(Sakura) (If it ain't coming out
We're not going anywhere
So why can't I just tell you that I care

(Tenten) I'm feeling nervous
Trying to be so perfect
Cause I know you're worth it
You're worth it
Yeah

(Hinata) What's wrong with my tongue
These words keep slipping away
I stutter I stumble (Sakura and Ino echo)
Like I've got nothing to say

(Tenten) I'm feeling nervous
Trying to be so perfect
Cause I know you're worth it
You're worth it
Yeaaahh

(All) Yes I'm wishing my life away with these things I'll never say
If I could say what I want to say
I'd say I wanna blow you away
Be with you every night
Am I squeezing you too tight
If I could say what I want to see
I want to see you go down
On one knee
Marry me today
Yes, I'm wishing my life away
With these things I'll never say
These things I'll never say

Aya-sensei along with the students present applauded their performance. "You did amazing girls! You will definitely be the basketball team's half-time performance!" Aya-sensei told them enthusiastically.

"Arigato!" The girls said in unison as they hung their microphones up. They felt really accomplished whenever they did something as a group. They all grew up with each other, learned one another's faults, and learned how to cover them.

As they began to leave Aya stopped them. "Hey do you want to listen to the next audition? You guys are good at reviewing performances."

"Nah, it's okay Aya-sensei." Ino said waving her hand for emphasis.

"Okay then girls, I'll see you tomorrow then." Aya turned her back on her students and began to focus on the next audition. The girls headed to class surprised to see Neji and his friends sitting on their desks.

Ino was the first to react, "Hey lazy ass! Get off my desk!" She shoved the pineapple head while the other three followed and pushed the other boys off their own desks. "You better not mess with me whatever-your-name-is!"

The pineapple head's three other friends snickered as he was left to face with the loud, annoying blonde. He stood up and was only centimeters away from her face. "Troublesome." He whispered into her ear as he went back to the corner where his friends had migrated. Ino felt herself turn red and knew her friends saw when she noticed they all had smirks on their faces.

Before Sakura could chant anything Ino had grabbed her wrist, which indicated to the other two to follow and she ran out of the classroom and out of earshot of the boys. "I can't believe you like that Nara!" Ino was surprised Sakura knew the name of the boy who had just uttered, 'Troublesome' into her ear.

"Nara?" Ino repeated with interest.

"As in Shikamaru Nara. I recognized him when I saw a girl in the choir room holding up a magazine with him and the other three on the cover."

"Hinata! I can't believe you didn't tell us!" Tenten shouted.

"Sorry. I thought you knew. My family's already rich so wouldn't you think my cousin, who holds his position so highly would have rich friends?" They all stood there in thought. After a few moments they all gave a uniform shrug and headed back to class once the bell rang.
