Thirteen year old Kanashii Abarai opens her blue eye. She is lying in bed, covered in layers of blankets. She looks at her clock and jumps straight out of bed. "I gotta get to the ninja academy!" Kanashii shouts as she gets ready.

Thirteen year old Rukia Kuchiki is eating breakfast. Her green eyes scan a study sheet. "Guess I better get going." She says as she gets up, and puts her dishes in the sink.

Thirteen year old Kayame Hitsugaya is brushing her hair. Her brown eyes twinkle in the mirror. "Gotta look nice for Jordan today!" She sings to herself. "I gotta go!" She shouts as she runs out of the room.

About five minutes later, Rukia, Kayame, and Kanashii arrive at the ninja academy.

"Hey guys!" Kayame shouts, smiling.

"Yo." Rukia says, smiling back.

"Hi!" Kanashii shouts.

"I'm SO excited! I wonder if I'll get put in a squad with you guys...or Luke." Rukia says, smiling.

"Rukia and Luke, sittin' in a tree!" Kayame begins to sing, grinning her head off.

"Shut up." Rukia says, glaring at Kayame.

"Jeez, Rukia's pissy today." Kayame says, shaking her head.

"Nah, she only gets pissy when we talk about LUKE." Kanashii says before busting out laughing.

"WhatEVER. Let's go inside." Rukia says, rolling her eyes as she turns to walk away from her two best friends. The three girls walk in, and take a seat. There are no two seats next to each other, so the girls are separated. Kanashii sits next to Shikamaru, Kayame sits next to Ino, and Rukia take the last empty seat, next to...Naruto...

"Hi, Rukia!" Naruto says in his usual loud voice as he smiles.

"Hi Naruto. You're not gonna cheat off me, you know." Rukia says, looking at Naruto with a stern look.

"AWWWW!" Naruto whines. Suddenly, Iruka walks in.

"Good morning, students. I hope you all studied well." Iruka says, smiling. Rukia and Sakura smile at Iruka. Kayame, Kanashii, Shikamaru, and most of the rest of the class look at each other in horror. "Your scores influence what squad you get into. So do well, and NO CHEATING." Iruka says, saying the last two words with much force. He passes out the written test, and everyone's quiet. "Good luck." He says with a smile before sitting at his desk.

A few hours later, everyone is done with the written portion of the test. Iruka collects the test, and puts them in a machine.

"While those are grading themselves, it's time to test you all on jutsu. Rukia, Kanashii and Kayame look at each other. "The Clone Jutsu." Iruka says with a grin. The class groans. "Abarai. You first." Iruka says, looking down at his class list. Kanashii walks up, and preforms a perfect Clone Jutsu. "Good!" Iruka says, smiling. The rest of the class does their Clone Jutsu's with Iruka taking notes the whole time.

Finally, Iruka lets the students out for lunch.

"In half an hour, be back for for your squad assignments!" Iruka shouts after them as they all leave the room.

"OKAY!" Everyone shouts back. They leave, and go to eat lunch.
