It was finally lunch time, and everyone was sooo excited for Mystery Meat Monday.

"Naruto, why the hell are you eating that?" Caty asked, eyeing the thing on Naruto's plate with utter disgust. The blonde hair boy simply shrugged, poking at the 'meat' with her plastic fork, his blue eyes inspecting it.

"It almost looks like it's moving..." He commented, his nose wrinkling slightly, "Oh well," He shrugged, before taking a huge bite out of it. His face immediately turning green.

"I told you not to eat it," Caty smirked, laughing slightly at the boy's misfortune.

"THIS IS WHY OUR SCHOOL NEEDS RAMEN!" Naruto cried, tears streaming down his face as he shook his fist in the air. Caty sweat dropped, shaking her head at her friend.

"Shut up, Naruto." A tall, lean boy with his jet black hair up in a pony-tail, making it look almost similar to a pineapple. His equally dark eyes staring down at the blonde boy with a bored look on his face. He was holding a simple apple in his hand, tossing it up and down lazily.

"No, YOU shut up, Shikamaru." Naruto retorted, sticking his tongue out at the boy named Shikamaru. Shikamaru just rolled his eyes, sitting down at the spot next to Caty, taking a bite out of his apple.

"Hey guys~!" Sakura sang, suddenly popping up behind Naruto, her pink hair bouncing and her green eyes shining in happiness. Ino was right behind her, both of them holding salads and waters. Sakura took a seat next to Naruto, while Ino took a spot across from Caty.

"So Sasuke was totally checking me out earlier~" Ino sang, looking at Sakura with a devious smirk. Sakura scoffed, waving Ino off,

"Pfft, he was probably only looking at how huge your ass is in that skirt," She remarked, smirking right back at her.

"At least he's looking at my butt and not my forehead. Right, Billboard-brow?" Ino said with venom lacing her words.

"Or he was looking at the toilet paper on your skirt..." Someone said from behind Ino, causing everyone to look at him. He had long, spiky brown hair and black eyes. He was a tad short and on the heavy side. Shikamaru smirked at him, nodding at him.

"Hey Chouji." Shikamaru greeted his best friend since they were 5. They gave each other high-fives, as Chouji took a seat across from Shikamaru. Chouji had grabbed not only a double serving of Mystery Meat, but also a bag of chips.

"What do you mean?" Ino exclaimed, standing up and looking at her rear-side. Sure enough there was a piece of toilet paper sticking out of the top of her skirt. Her face immediately turned red at the discovery, ripping it out of her skirt. Sakura could not help but laugh loudly at her friend's expense,

"CHA! That's what you get Ino-Pig!" Sakura exclaimed, pointing a finger at the blonde. Ino blushed, sitting down and burying her head into her hands,

"What if Sasuke saw!"

"He did see, that's why he was staring," Caty commented, raising an eyebrow, leaning forward to place her chin into her palm; balancing herself on her elbow. Ino shot her a glare, crossing her arms stubbornly. Everyone laughed at the poor girl, shaking their heads.

(I was thinking about her
Thinking bout me
Thinkin bout us (us)
What we gunna be?
Open my eyes, (Yeah)
it was only just a dream)

The cheerleaders threw their hands up into the air, before doing some complicated footwork, then each springing into some kind of flip. It was football time, and everyone was rearing to go. Sakura and Ino were both pushing to beat each other, each trying to seem more cheerful and into the routine.

"They look like they just want to tackle and beat each other." Temari commented, shaking her head, sitting on the bleachers next to Caty and their other friend Tenten. Tenten was naturally beautiful, so she barely wore any make-up at all. Just a little eyeliner and that's pretty much it. She always wore her long brown hair in two buns on top of her head, and her dark brown eyes always sparkled with mischief. She was pretty much a tomboy like Caty and Temari, the three of them preferring to be on the Soccer team rather than the Cheer squad.

Temari's hair was down; which was rare, as it laid down to her shoulders. She wore a baggy, 'Love Pink', purple sweatshirt, and dark grey skinny jeans. They didn't have to wear their uniforms to school events, thankfully. Tenten, on the other hand, was wearing a dark green hoodie, with dark boot-cut jeans. While Caty just opted for a panda hoodie, with the hood up, and a pair of loose skinny-jeans.

"You know, they are actually pretty good friends when they want to be..." Caty commented, pursing her lips in thought, watching the two girls starting to yell at each other; making the cheerleaders stop their dance.

"If they do this during the Homecoming game I'm going to be pissed." Tenten remarked, sighing. Homecoming was only a week away, and this little Sakura-Ino situation has been going on every game that's been going on this year.

"Don't worry, I'm sure by the time Sasuke has found a date, they'll calm down and stop harassing each other so they can both go harass the poor girl," Temari smirked, laughing slightly at the thought.

"Hey look Temari, it's your lover-boy~" Caty sang, pointing down to the benches that the football players were sitting. The girls scanned the benches, looking for Temari's 'lover-boy'.

Naruto..nope...Chouji..no...Sasuke...HAH, no...Deidara...no...
they kept scanning before reaching the very end of the bench, sweat dropping at the sight. Shikamaru was there sleeping sitting up, drooling slightly.

The girls sweat dropped at the boy, laughing slightly.

"It's a good thing he's only the water boy, Temari, or else there might be an issue!" Caty laughed at her friend who was slightly infatuated with the lazy boy, of course he didn't know that.

"Oh hush." Temari muttered, crossing her arms stubbornly, although she was laughing slightly.

"Okay guys, the game is about to start...so shush!" Tenten said, leaning forward to watch the players get introduced.

One by one, each player got introduced, as they ran out onto the field to get recognized. They were playing Suna, which is where Temari and her brothers were from, so Temari got to see some of her old friends.

"I can't believe Itachi Uchiha is supposed to be quarterback for the homecoming game," Caty commented, "I heard Sasuke really wanted that position."

"Itachi has always been better than Sasuke at like..everything...My mom and I went to their dad's speech at the police station and he didn't mention Sasuke once." Tenten explained, "But Itachi's name was in every other sentence pretty much."

"I heard that their parents barely even pay attention to Sasuke!" Temari said, watching the said Uchiha as he was passed the ball from Kiba Inuzuka, "In a way you gotta feel bad for him."

"Well their dad also used to play for the Fire Country's football team and was on tv and everything, so I'm guessing he wants Itachi to be famous too." Caty said, clicking her tongue.

(Yes this does all matter XD...and yes Itachi's and Sasuke's parents are still alive...for now)

They continued talking for a little bit, before the half-time buzzer went off.

"Well...I'm going to go wake up Shikamaru..." Temari sighed, standing up and straightening her shirt. Tenten and Caty also stood up to follow the girl down the bleachers.

"I need to find Neji and tell him to work on his aim. I mean really? I can throw footballs better than him." Tenten sighed, shaking her head, going to find her friend. Caty followed Tenten onto the field, dodging a hug from the sweaty male that was Naruto.

"Awh, Caty~" Naruto whined, "Not even a hug for what a good job I did?"

Caty shook her head, laughing slightly, "Not when you smell like feet, sorry."

Caty looked over at Tenten, who was already in deep conversation with Neji Hyuuga. Well, actually it was more like Tenten lecturing Neji and him just barely listening.

Neji was a pretty attractive guy, and he was a genius. He had long brown hair, that every girl was jealous of, and the most unique eyes you will ever see. They were a light lilac with no pupil. They might seem freaky at first, but they were quite lovely once you got used to them. The only problem with Neji is that sometimes he could be a cocky tool.

Caty's attention was suddenly turned to one of the most attractive families there was in Konoha. The Uchiha Family, which was famous for the police officers or football stars in the family. Fugaku Uchiha was Itachi's and Sasuke's father, and he was previously the star quarterback on one of the greatest football teams there was. Ever since he retired, he's been the city's sheriff with the other Uchiha men being on the force as well. Not only did the Uchihas' all seem to be police officers or football players, they all seemed to be gorgeous.

One of the most popular guys at school was a part of the Uchiha family, other than Sasuke, and that was Itachi Uchiha, Sasuke's older brother.
Itachi had long, sleek black hair that may have been even prettier than Neji's, and dark eyes. Sure his hair and eyes may have been plain, but his gorgeous face made up for it. His eyes shined with kindness for his friends and family, and he was always willing to help out. He was always standing up for his brother in front of his brother, but it did not work.

"Caaaattyy..what are you staring atttt? It's getting reaally creepy.." Naruto said, waving his hand in front of Caty's face, "I hope you aren't staring at Sasuke! Catyy, come on, the game is about to start again!"

Caty snapped out of her thoughts, looking at Naruto with a raised brow and a surprised look on her face,
"Whoops, sorry Naruto! I got distracted," She laughed, sweat dropping .

"Obviously," A man with long blonde hair tied up in a pony-tail with a bang hanging in front of his eye said. He looked like he could have been related to Ino almost. His cyan blue eyes staring at Caty with an amused look, "Stop checking out Itachi, un."

"Oh hush, Deidara." Caty said, sticking out her tongue to the senior, who rolled his eyes.

"Whatever, yeah," Deidara retorted, patting the girl on the head, "Run along now, the game is about to start, and we wouldn't want you getting hurt now, un."

Caty scoffed, "Yeah, Yeah." She turned to Naruto, who looked at her expectantly, holding out his arms, "Not too sure what you're doing, Naruto."

"Hug?" Naruto asked, holding out his arms wider, a wide smile on his sweat-drenched face.

"Only if you get a touch-down," Caty laughed, patting him on the shoulder, before looking at her now sweaty-hand in disgust and wiping it on Shikamaru who was woken up by Temari, "Good luck, Uzumaki."

He pouted slightly, before grinning proudly,
"I'll be the best, believe it~!"
