Chapter Three
The next day...
Naruto glanced at the clock. 2:26 PM. School ended in 4 minutes. Naruto looked back down at his work, than glanced back up at the clock.
The student sitting beside him, scowled and violently poked him in the side.
Naruto whipped his head around. "What do you want?"
"Stop fricken' clock-watching. It's annoying."
"Well, stop watching me! It's annoying!" Naruto shot back.
Sasuke, not to far away heard all this. He laughed to himself.
'Naruto's anxious...I'm not gonna lie, I am too.' Sasuke had been clock-watching also. He glanced at the clock. 2:29...
5...4..3..2...1...
"YES VOLLEY-BALL TRYOUTS!" Naruto exclaimed. He jumped up from his seat and ran out the door. Everyone gaped at the empty desk Naruto was just at.
Sasuke got up also, he casually and quickly followed Naruto out the door.
Naruto made a mad dash-down a flight of stairs and through flocks of people. Naruto grinned. 'One more corner to turn...' He thought
"NARUTO!" He skid to a stop and jogged backwards to a doorway. He jogged on the spot looking very annoyed.
"What do you want Tsunade-baa-chan?" He asked impatiently, "Brat! Don't address me like that! Get in here!" She ordered.
Naruto sighed. He dragged himself inside, closing the door behind him. 'I don't have time for this!' He thought
Tsunade-sama sat behind her desk. Naruto remained standing.
"It's dangerous running in the hallways that fast Naruto, you could've hit someone head-on and got a concusion." She scolded,
"Right right, I'm very sorry. I'll never do it again." He tapped his foot impatiently, "So can I go now?"
Tsunade-sama inhaled and exhaled deeply. "I don't know, I still didn't write you up..."
Naruto threw his hands in the air and exclaimed, "C'mon! I was running the hallway! Not speeding on the highway!"
The blonde principal chuckled to herself. "All right, get outta here."
"ARIGATOU GOZAIMASU TSUNADE-BAA-CHAN!" Naruto yelled as he burst through the door and speed walked down the hall.
"BRAT!" She yelled back.
The purple haired gym teacher leaned on the door frame of her office door. She watched the two students who actually showed up for volley-ball try-outs. She sighed, "Another year with no male volley-ball team." She murmured to herself.
The gym door slammed open. She looked over hopefully.
"YATTA! VOLLEY-BALL DATTEBAYO!...Reeeh? Where's the rest of the team!" Besides Naruto in the door, Sasuke and some second year were there.
"There's obviously not gonna be a team this year." The brown eyed coach emerged from her office.
"Ah! Who are you!" Naruto asked.
"I'm Anko, I was suppose to be your coach but, like I said, there's not gonna be a team this year so you three might as well go home."
"NANI! Can't we wait like, a half hour more?" Naruto protested.
"Fine, but don't bother changing, it will just waste your time."
Naruto dropped his bag and picked up a volley-ball. Anko went back to her office.
Half and Hour later...
Anko finished her laststickof dangoand looked at the clock on her computer. She slid her chair backwards a bit to see out the door.
Her eye twitched in annoyance. She got up and out of her office.
"As long as you're here, you can help put the volley-ball equipment away." Anko said, interupting their spiking session.
"30 minutes is up already!" Naruto exclaimed. Hearing that, Sasuke was half way to the change rooms already.
He changed his shirt and sulked.
'Damn, Itachi was right. This school isn't popular with volley-ball...' He punched his locker in fustration.
'I wonder if it's to late to join basketball.' He left the change rooms. He finished adjusting his tie and looked up. He seen Anko and Naruto close by the exit in a heated discussion. Sasuke watched the mixed expressions on Anko's face. He tilted his head in slight curiosity. The ebony eyed boy halted by them in hearing range. He bent down pretending to tie his shoes and eaves dropped on the pair.
Naruto and the second-year finished putting the net away. They exited the equipment room. The second year quickly left leaving Naruto and Anko left in the gym. Anko finished locking her office and was about to leave.
"Matte! Anko-sensei!" She whirled around, leftover dumpling in her mouth. She finished it quickly and looked at the running blonde questionly.
"What is it?"
"What if I can get a more players to join. Can we have a team?" The blue eyed boy looked at her hopefully. Anko grinned at him then burst out laughing.
"As if you can get anyone to join! You know how much I had to bribe people last year to get them to join? Man, I am so not going down that path again." She calmed down a bit.
"Can you atleast give me a chance! Pleeease! The volley-ball season doesn't actually start 'till next week!" Anko's expression turned serious.
"What are you getting at?" She urged. Naruto continued, "Let's make a bet! If I can't get a team by this friday, I'll..." He glanced upwards in thought.
"...You have to hand deliverdango from the cafeteria to my office every lunch for a week in a pink tutu." Anko dared. She crossed her arms and smirked. A bit of surprise crossed Naruto's face but just for a second. He looked at her angrily.
"But the cafeteria is all the way on the other side of the school!"
"That's what the pink tutu is for. You have walk through the hallways full of students."
Naruto thought for a moment.
"Fine. BUT! If I get a team, you have to wear a pink tutu, to our first 5 games!"
"Oooh, it's on kid." Anko narrowed her eyes at him.
"I won't let you down." Naruto saluted her and left.
