I do not own Naruto

Junior High

Intro and the Plan

During the last week of middle school 3 graduating 8th graders sat in conversation, at least 2 of them were, the 3rd a usual hyperactive blonde sat there in silence contemplating what to say to a certain girl. Sakura Haruno was sitting across the room from the 3 boys with her best friend Ino and new boyfriend Sasuke, talking about the football game that was coming up in 2 days. The silent blonde was finally caught about his silence and Kiba 1 of the other friends poked him in the ribs and spoke rather loudly.

"Oyyyy Naruto stop day dreaming about Pinky over there, shes already taken you dumb ass. Plus you don't want to mess with Sasuke, you don't want to piss him off before the game against West Koha and not pass to you."

As the school new, Sasuke was the QB for the Konoha Junior High Ninjas, to the girls of 7th and 8th the best player on the team, but every single jock and boy new that Naruto a WR (Wide Receiver) was the reason the team was doing so well. Other then his rather good football skills Naruto wasnt really known through out the school like Sasuke, sure he had many friends and was well liked somewhat, he just was never noticed by Sakura. Naruto and her had a really good friendship in 1st grade, but it dissolved in 5th when Sasuke transferred and got his fan club. Every since 2nd grade Naruto has had a "little" crush on her, now that hes going into high school hes noticing how beautiful and curvy she is, its becoming a little more then a crush. But only Kiba and Shikamaru knows that.

"Would you shut up" He said blushing realizing that some girls close to them were giggle at them. This was Kibas cue to go. He jumped out of his seat and coolly walked toward the girls with the lasts words.

"The game needs a player"

Shikamaru and Naruto grinned at the friend knowing he would come back in a matter of minutes. Shikamaru took this time to have a serious conversation about Narutos little crush.

"Have you any idea about how you gonna CONFESS" he said the last word sarcastic.

Naruto new this to be a joke but did not find it funny. He truthfully didn't now what he was gonna do. He had thought about it and was confident that he would win her love. But that was before she became stupid Sasukes girlfriend in 7th grade. Everyone new she liked Sasuke, she would always follow him and annoy him to go on a date with him, his answer was always a no. Naruto hated it when he said no and just wanted him to accept one to see her happy, but that was before there were together and now it fucking sucked.

"Truthfully I don't now, your the genius you tell me" Naruto said half mad half with sorrow.

Shikamaru grinned and leaned in pulling Narutos head by the ear closer to him.

"Listen after the game go up to her and tell her that she looks good, maybe even great if you have the balls. Shes probably gonna want to see Sasuke but tell her that he needs to talk to Coach Asuma. Ask her if she wants you to walk her home and if she rejects just state that her house is on the way, then-"

"But my house isn't on the way its the complete opposite-"

"Does she now that"

"No... but why do i walk her home if I'm going the complete opposite way?"

"Do you want to walk her home or not?"

"Of course"

"Dumb ass"

"WHAT!"

Shikamaru ignored the stars from the room and continued.

"Then on the way to her house make amusing small talk, nothing weird and awkward, that's gonna make her unconformable."

"Like what?"

"You figure that out"

"Pleaseeeeeee"

"Do you want my help"

Naruto sulked back down and nodded several times.

"Then when your at her house steps confess to her, nothing to majorly creepy. You guys are friends but you barley hang out it would be weird if you told her you loved her and want to be with her forever."

"But i do" Naruto said seriously

Shikamaru face palmed and sigh "Your hopeless"

And with the end of the conversation they grinned at each other as Kiba sulks back into his seat and mumbles some thing. All the other 2 could hear was.

"The player needs some game"
