Tenten dragged her large, heavy, dark green suitcase across the lobby of the college dorm building, walking up to the front desk.

"Name?" The receptionist asked.

"Tenten Mitarashi," Tenten replied.

"Welcome to Konoha University! My name is Shizune, the headmistress' assistant. Here is your schedule for the classes you picked and a map of the campus. Your room is number 410," She told her, giving Tenten two sheets of paper and a warm smile. Tenten folded the pieces of paper and put it in the pocket of her jeans. She liked this lady already. Shizune handed her a key card. "This is the card to your room. Please sign this paper," She said, placing a sheet of paper and a pen in front of Tenten, "In case you lose your card."

Tenten scanned the paper. On it was her name, student ID and room number, with a small paragraph stating stuff about responsibility. She took the pen and signed her name on the line above the word signature before sliding the paper and pen back over to Shizune. 

Shizune took the paper and placed it in a filing cabinet. "Thank you, Tenten. Do you happen to be related to Anko?"

"Yeah, she's my adoptive mom. She works at the college," Tenten answered before her brows crease. "She can be...embarrassing. I mean, having your mom as a teacher can be embarrassing enough, but-" She stopped and looked at Shizune. "Ah, sorry about my rant."

"It's alright, I understand," Shizune replied, giving a small chuckle before continuing, "There is a Konoha University app we ask all students to download on their phone. We will give you a login code for your account so that you can access your digital student ID. When you enter the college building, all you have to do is open the app and scan your ID by the entrance. However, here is your backup ID card if something ever happens." Shizune handed her a card.

Tenten nodded, taking the card and putting it in her wallet. She took out her phone and downloaded the app. "What's my code?" 

Shizune told her the code and she logged in successfully. "One last thing," She informed her. "The area around the entire campus is fenced, and there are two ways in and out- the back gate and the main gate. From Sundays to Thursdays, the gates close at midnight. On Fridays and Saturdays, the gates close at four in the morning. That's all. Enjoy your time here at Konoha University!"

"Thank you!" Tenten said gratefully, putting her phone into her pocket before she grabbed her key card and dragged her suitcase into the elevator. Thankfully, the buttons were labelled, making the search for her dorm a whole lot easier. She clicked the one that read 401-500, wondering how many floors there were to this building. Or rather, how many rooms. The building was massive from the outside, and the luxurious interior didn't fail to amaze her.

The elevator made a ding, and Tenten stepped out, pulling her suitcase with her. There were numbers and arrows painted on the wall in front of her:

<---  401-450

451-500  --->

There seemed to be more hallways, which further confused Tenten. She turned left and glanced at the number on the first door she saw- 437. The door beside it read 439. Wrong hallway, she thought, trying the next hallway. The first door read 425. Nope. Tenten tried going two hallways down, and checked the room number on a door. 401. She walked five more doors down and found 409. She turned around and checked the door number on the door across from 409. Finally, 410. After sliding the card into the slot above the door handle, she heard a small beep. Tenten opened the door and sighed in relief, dragging her suitcase to the foot of a vacant-looking bed near the window before releasing it from her grip, placing her key card on top.
