The Contest
Heat. Heat and rain. That's all summer vacation meant to the three high school-ers that now found themselves seated in front of a TV, watching CNN out of pure boredom.
One of them was a tall dark-auburn haired, gray-eyed girl. Her hair was cut short on the sides and back, her bangs were cut just before they could fall in her eyes, the hair on the top of her head was kept in a high ponytail, and fell down to her shoulder blades. This girl had the body of an athlete.
The one that sat on the right of the auburn haired one was a typical brunette with brown eyes, she was shorter than the other girl and she was also paler, but that never bothered her. The shorter of the two had the body of an average being (seeing that she would never bother to actually RUN. She would rather just cut the track…)
The final girl sat on the left of the gray-eyed one. She was only a few inches shorter than the girl that sat beside her. She had long deep brown hair, that cascaded down her back, her skin was pale, and she had soft green eyes. Her body as a whole was as average as the shortest one.
The girls sighed in unison, all of them getting less and less amused with the news with every tick of the clock. "We'll be right back with more about this tragic story." The woman news caster smiled.
"She's a bitch…." The shortest one muttered.
"Seriously fucked up…." The second shortest agreed.
"Going to hell…." The tallest stated.
The girls were about to change the channel when a commercial flashed on. "It has been announced! Two weeks ago the Naruto series printed its final manga! And now, you have the chance to prove your knowledge, fans! You could have a chance to win ten million dollars! And three grand prize winners will have the chance of a lifetime!" The Asian man continued, "Just take the test on the website below and submit it! But be warned! You only have two weeks in this contest!"
The girls had all moved closer to the screen at the mention of ten million bucks. True, the girls were not fans of Naruto, but at the concept of winning ten million dollars, they would do just about anything.
The shortest girl quickly pulled up her laptop and brought up the site, "Shit…guys, this could be harder than we thought…"
"What's up, Tut?" The gray-eyed one raised an eye brow in question.
The third nodded, "yeah, what?"
"This test is 500 questions long, and it's split into two parts…one part about Naruto, the manga and episodes…both dubbed and Japanese. The other half is made up of questions quizzing your ability to be a shinobi."
The two other girls looked at each other. Then the shorter ones looked at the third girl, "What should we do, Hannah?"
Gray eyes looked seriously at both of the others, then in a calm voice the girl answered, "Start researching."
