The Best Thing: Part 2: Party Time

Author's Note: I drew the picture that you see above, please no copying.

The week came and went pretty quickly. The first two days of school were always boring and filled with needless instruction from new teachers. Soon Wednesday turned into Friday, and Friday turned into Friday night. And before Tenten and the other girls knew it, it was time to start getting ready for Karin’s party.

            Hinata was curling her long amethyst hair in Karin’s bathroom with Temari, who was straightening her short blonde hair. The bathroom was connected to Karin’s room, so the girls who were waiting to get ready were in Karin’s room talking to the girls in the bathroom.

            “What do you think I should wear for Sasuke?” Ino asked as she held up two dresses. One was a tight black dress that looked like an elongated tube top and the other was a purple bubble dress.

            “I say the purple one, it’s got that party feel more,” Sakura suggested as she lay on her stomach on Karin’s bed. “What do you think Karin and Tenten?” Sakura asked she lifted her head up to address the two girls.

            “I say the second one definitely,” Tenten first said, her heart was beating fast at the thought of seeing the boy from the audience at the party tonight. No one would tell her his name, although it was obvious that Hinata was related to him. They wanted Tenten to talk to him and find out who he is.

            “Second one for sure,” Karin agreed nodding as she sat on the floor with her back pressed against the bed. Ino thanked them then went into Karin’s big closet to change into the purple bubble dress.

            “Hey Tenten, what are you wearing for the mystery man?” Sakura asked as she sat up and looked down at Tenten, who was sitting next to Karin.

            “I’m not sure, I don’t even know how I’ll do my hair!” Tenten gushed as her face twisted into a worried expression. Sakura and Karin looked at each other and frowned.

            “I’ll go pick something out for our girl!” Hinata offered as she came out of the bathroom, her amethyst hair curled to perfection. Sakura and Karin said okay and told her to find something in Karin’s huge closet.

            As Ino came out, Hinata went in and disappeared amongst the wide array of clothes and colors. Only a few minutes went by before Hinata came out with an outfit.

            “Oh wow that’s cute!” Temari complemented as she walked out of the bathroom and told Sakura and Ino that they could go in now.

            “You have to wear it, you have no choice!” Ino ordered as she looked at the outfit in awe.

            “For sure! Mystery man will be all over you if you wear that!” Sakura rushed excitedly as she stared at the perfect outfit for Tenten.

            Tenten just gulped and agreed to try it on, all of the cheerleaders cheered as Tenten went into the closet. She had trouble getting the outfit together properly so it took her a while to come out, but when she did, the reactions were amazing.

            “Yeah, that was made for you!” Karin said as she looked Tenten up and down. Tenten nervously walked over to Karin’s big mirror and checked herself out in it.

            She was wearing blue jean shorts which were high waisted and too short for her liking with a revealing top. The top was a pale pink and a short sleeved flowy top, which showed off her mid riff with she lifted her arms. She wore a hot pink sport bra underneath and to add to the slut look, she wore boots that resembled moccasins with the flowy fringe on them.

            Tenten agreed that she did look great, but it just felt wrong to be showing this much skin.

            “We need to do her hair,” Temari demanded as she got up. She was wearing a blue bustier crop top and white shorts, she looked amazing and like a bad girl at the same time.

            “Agreed!” Karin interjected as she got up to go to the bathroom and kick Sakura and Ino out, who had finished their hair before it was even their turn in the bathroom.

            Tenten just kept staring in the mirror, then frowned when she looked at her hair buns, true it wasn’t attractive, but with her unmanageable hair, it was all that she could do.

            “Oh Tenten!” Karin called, Tenten sighed and sulked into the bathroom, she was so not excited to have her hair prodded by Karin and her hair devices.

            When Tenten got in the bathroom, Karin sat her on the toilet lid and got straight to work. She let Tenten medium length hair down and she brushed it and straightened it until smoke was coming off of Tenten’s already damaged hair.

            When Karin felt satisfied with her work, she took a step back and called the other girls, who came rushing in.

            “Oh wow, she looks great, Karin!” Hinata complemented as she marveled at Tenten’s hair.

            “You’ve got to let her see it,” Sakura told Karin as she too, marveled at Tenten’s hair.

            Tenten took the liberty of getting up herself and she looked into the mirror and she gasped. Her hair went about four inches below her shoulders and it was glossy and pin straight. Her bangs were pulled to the left side of her face and for once in her life, Tenten felt pretty.

            “Thanks so much you guys!” Tenten thanked her friends as she turned to face them with grateful tears in her eyes. The five other girls just laughed and crushed Tenten in between a group hug.

            But the group hug was short lived, because a familiar and excited ring came from downstairs. The first guests had arrived and Karin, Ino, Sakura, Hinata and Temari all rushed downstairs to greet the guests, leaving Tenten alone to do her make up.

            Tenten put on a light shade of brown eyeliner and then some mascara and blush and decided that she looked pretty enough. Just as she was about to put on some lip gloss, Ino called Tenten down, claiming that there was “someone she had to meet”.

            Tenten’s heart started beating fast because she realized that the boy from the audience could be coming tonight, because he was a football player. As Tenten raced down the stairs, she was greeted by Naruto who gaped when he saw her and how good she looked. Tenten returned the greeting then turned to the door, where she almost fell over herself as she saw the boy from the audience.

            “Tenten,” Ino said as she turned to Tenten, “This is Neji,” she motioned. Neji gave Tenten a slight wave and Tenten felt like dying from how bad she was blushing at the sight of Neji, her new crush.
