Naruto climbs in the window and lands right next to me. I don't tell him anything about what happened last night, but he says,
"So what do you do for fun?"
"Basketball." I say.
"Basket- ball?" He asks.
I take out the basketball from my backpack and say, "This."
"Oh, I think I saw that before on TV or something!"
"Yup. It's a pretty well known sport. Do you wanna play with me?"
"Oh sure! But like.. I don't know how to play so you gotta teach me."
Okay... but I'm pretty sure you guys don't have basketball hoops or poles here."
"Um... nope!"
I laugh and say, "Okay then, we'll have to make makeshift basketball hoops and poles."
I head out the door and the door slams into Naruto's face.
"Sorry! I'm utterly clumsy..." I say.
Naruto rubs his forehead and says,"That's alright. Ow that hurt..."
I end up getting an abandoned basket, and a 20 foot metal pole.
"Dang... you guys have 20 foot metal poles?!" I exclaim.
"Haha yeah..."
I find super glue, and I poke a big hole in the basket, and glue it to the middle of the big white construction board I glued on the pole.
"Oh god this is so lame..." I say.
It took me thirty minutes to make sure it stays, and I dribble the ball a few times before throwing it. The basketball went in alright, but it got stuck.
"God damn, what does it take to get a real basketball hoop?!" I exclaim.
With one push, I push the whole thing down and take my basketball.
"There goes my hard work..." I mumble.
"So I guess we're not playing?" Naruto asks.
"I'll explain the rules to you. So basically, you have to dribble this ball and shoot it into the hoop. No traveling, which means no running with the ball in your hands without dribbling, and double dribbling which is dribbling with both hands. You could pass the ball with one hand to another though-"
"Hey Naruto! What are you doing?!" An annoying female voice shouts.
Oh god, it's that wannabe princess. She better not recognize me.
"Naruto, who's that?" Sakura asks.
"Uh..." Naruto says.
"None of your goddamn business." I snap.
Geez, I just hate her a lot. Even though we don't really know each other. I just get this vibe that like, that I just hate her.
"Your friend is rude.." Sakura protests.
"Hmph... well I'll see ya around, Naruto!" I say and start walking away.
"Hold on a sec." A new voice says.
Just then, I feel myself get paralyzed. As if by instinct, I flit to the closest shadow to me, and I end up behind a tree.
"Aha! I knew it! You're that girl from last night!"
It's that Shikamaru guy. The lazy one.
"What are you talking about, Shikamaru?" Naruto asks.
"Last night she was in a cloak, and I thought a recognized her. I put her in my shadow possession, but she broke out of it through the shadows, just like she did now. And I thought she looked familiar, so now I know that she does!"
Ah shit... he's lazy, but smart. He's gonna expose my existence!
"She's the girl who refused to say anything in the hospital!"
"Byeeee!" I exclaim and start walking away.
"Oh you stay right here! We got in trouble because of you and you have to clear everything up!" Sakura nags.
"Shut the fuck up, wannabe princess!" I hiss.
She gasps, and Naruto says,
"Shikamaru, she didn't want to be exposed, and she trusted me. Don't tell anyone else."
"Why not? I'm gonna tell Lady Tsunade right away!" Sakura says.
Suddenly, I'm at her throat with a kunai.
"Whoa whoa whoa!" Naruto says and quickly pulls me away from her.
I put the kunai back and say,
"Sorry, I can be a little impulsive sometimes."
"Well what are we gonna do?" Naruto asks.
"Just tell them. My secret's out anyways. I just don't want a lot of questions asked. Gosh, I hate my life..." I say.
Shikamaru looks at each of us oddly, then heads to the hokage mansion. I put my face in my hands and think, Better have this sorted out then stay in the shadows forever. Even if that's my talent!
Eh, corny chapter. Sorry! I needed to think more on this, but I'll come up with a better chapter soon!
