'Come on, Pass the ball to me!'

'No! Pass it to me!'

Childrens at their early childhood loves to play, specially with friends however most chooses to have a alone time.

A certain blonde thinks playing at her age was childish hence she choose to further study the anatomy of flowers, choosing knowledge over friends the blonde one refuses to accept that she feels lonely by herself..

In distance, she saw a boy at her age.

He was with an older teen, he just looks like the other kids. Annoying and childish in her eyes, the boy saw her staring and decided to smile and waved happily in her direction. Embarrassed, the blonde closes the window leaving the confused boy to wonder why.

That same blonde girl after a few days realize that she's no different from the others. She is just as childish as they are but there is nothing wrong with that, after all she was just a child.

Forgetting about knowledge for the time being the blonde now plays and have fun with the others... Although the blonde seems to still avoid the boy she met. Everytime he sees her, he seems to smile happily and wave in her direction, His actions made her shy away. Which she does not like..

The blonde girl had saved this poor one from getting bullied and ever since then they're become friends.

During their friendship she noticed how her friend had taken a liking to the same boy she like but she did not take it to be her closed friend's rival but instead blame it on the boy for being such an attention seeker, he had taken the first place and she will not allowed her friend to be taken by him. However fate is confusing and not always good.

The fate have brought her and her friend in a talk, her friend had now declared them to be rivals for the love of a one boy.

"Ino! Ino wake up! You're going to be late!"

"Ino!"

"INOOO!!!"

Ugh... That was loud... Ino complained within her thoughts rubbing her eyes Can't i be late for at least one day? She sighs and sat into the edge of her bed, her head feels heavy for some reason.. So heavy she seems forgetting about something. Hm..

"Ino! stop lying down in bed! It's your graduation day from the academy! You cannot be late young lady!" Wait... Graduation day?? Was is it today!?

She quickly look over the calendar stomp on her wall and surprise-surpirse it is indeed graduation day.

Oh No! I can't be late in a occasion like this!! She panicked and quickly ready herself, almost slipping inside the bathroom. It took her 20 minutes to finally go down and as expected her mother was annoyed on how many times she had to yell for ino to wake up.

"You young lady, you aren't a child anymore. You should start remembering such important occasions without mine or your father's help" her mother sighs shaking her head and ino can only smile awkwardly "Here eat breakfast and quickly go to the academy, You wouldn't want your teacher to scold at this very day don't you?" Ino can only sigh and apologize for waking up late.

On her way to their classroom ino remembered a vivid dream, it's a dream where she's surrounded by a forest and someone in front of her were speaking about.. something.. She can't hear them nor can she remember their face, at that dream everything was blurry and weird..

was it a bad dream? I can't remember... well i should just ignore it and start my day in a positive way! she thought ignoring such a dream that may.. or may not mean anything.

-Classroom-

"huh. isn't it the Billboard brow" she speak in a sarcasm and insulting tone annoying and making sakura frustrated "haahh??! Well Isn't It Ino Pig! hmp!" sakura insulted back glaring daggers in ino's direction, it's not even scary. Ino actually find sakura amusing to tease specially on how loud and annoying her voice can be sometimes plus for ino Sakura's insult mean nothing as it's not that creative at all.

"Oh.. Ohh~ I didn't notice you there Sasuke Kun! May i sit besides you?" Ino switch her attention from her rival to her supposed to be 'Love Interest' which cause Sakura to be more angry than before "Hey i got here before you! Therefore it should be me to sit besides sasuke kun!" sakura step in glaring more to ino, sasuke can only glance at them in annoyance. If the noise of fangirls fighting who get to sit besides sasuke isn't troubling enough, there's naruto willing to add more fire.

"Oi sasuke." Sasuke lift his head glaring back at naruto who decided to not only block his view but he had also step on the table. Naruto continues to glare down at him with the thought of why it's always about you. Ino can only look at them in amusement while the other girls.. "Hey! what are you doing!?" "Yeah stop that!" "You're bothering sasuke kun!" "Get off him naruto!" This girls is such a hypocrite You're bothering sasuke kun really? then what are YOU girls doing? giving him space? ino rolled her eyes although she won't lie that she's the one that started this hehe

For a split and sudden second of naruto being pushed... Ino had witness something.. Unbelievable..

"H-Huuuhhh!??!" Ino yelp along with the other girls in surprised, everyone in the classroom stopped doing or talking to other's and stared at the two.. "n-no way... s-sasuke's First kiss!!" sakura gasps in horror as she watch sasuke and naruto pulled away from each other and starts coughing like they were dying. Must have been hard for sakura.. Sasuke's first kiss should have been her, sadly her dream simply shuttered.

wow... i did not expect that... Ino thought smiling awkwardly and now slowly retreating away in the background...

"What the heck sasuke!?" naruto yelled wide eyed pointing fingers at the uchiha "What do you mean what the heck sasuke!? You were the one that suddenly kiss me you-!" before sasuke could even finish and sakura to start complaining, iruka had opened the door.

Everyone now on their chosen sit, Ino besides shikamaru andd Sakura between sasuke and naruto who's both still grumpy and annoyed. Poor sakura. I will pity for this moment ino fakingly sighs

"Oh? Your quiet today did something happen? Well nevermind that. Before i start the teams announcement i would like to congratulate first our top students, I'll start at top 10-" Her eyes left iruka and went to glance at shikamaru who seems to be asleep which ino shakes her head in disappointment even in Important occasions he chooses his laziness. Ino pinch shikamaru on his side which cause him to yelp and interrupt their sensei "next we have top 5 Sakura Haruno-" "ACK!!" "hm? is there something wrong shikamaru?" "uh.. nope" Iruka raises his eye brows before continuing in the meantime shikamaru hisses at ino for how hard and How HURT that pinch was.

"Now we have our Top Kunoichi As top 2 Ino yamanaka" Ino proudly raises her head smirking down at sakura who only supposed to glance at her but end up glaring. "For our rookie of the year- We have top 1 Sasuke Uchiha! Congratulations for our top students!" the moment sasuke was announced every girls in the room just start squealing on how great and talented sasuke was, specially sakura who were right besides him.

On the other hand... Ino felt annoyed. It's not because she wasn't the one sitting besides sasuke but because of her pride. Of course his the RoOkiE oF tHe YeAr ino rolled her eyes, jealous. as she had wishes once to be the rookie of the year only for it to shuttered because of a uchiha.

...

While ino was distracted by shikamaru someone in front of her had glance over her.. she look down the moment she felt the stare but didn't find anyone looking at her..

Hmp. Maybe that was only sakura.

...

But it doesn't feel like a glare tho?

"Okay okay stop talking, I'm now be announcing the team you'll be in"

...

"In team 10 we have Ino Yamanaka, Shikamaru Nara-" Huh... Huuuhhh!!?? why am i- with- with this lazy Bum!? "and Choji Akimichi" Ino gasp in horror how can i be in the same time as this Two person I don't want to be with!? she yelled within herself, her eyes twitching in frustration "oh? it seems like you have no choice heh" shikamaru grin at her causing ino to smiled in anger and grip her fist with a thought of 'I wish i can punch you right now.'

"Team 9 is still on work. Team 8 we have Hinata Hyuga, Kiba Inuzuka and Shino Aburame" oh... Why does ino felt like she knows who be in the team next. Ino look down at the three in front of her although they seems to be not thinking either they be together or not.. well i mean sakura might be wishing to be the same team as sasuke- but anyway... Huh? since when does sasuke grip his hands together that tight? Ino had seen sasuke in the same posture several times before but this is the first where she sees him gripping his hand like this...

Maybe his getting a bad feeling? ahahah

"For team 7 We have Sakura haruno, Naruto uzumaki-" "Yahoo!" iruka was interrupted by naruto who lightly celebrated being the same team as sakura while the poor haruno can only slump down in disapproval "And Sasuke Uchiha." now it's Naruto's turn to slump down. Heck he even hit his face in the table while it's Sakura's turn to celebrate "Yay! I'm with sasuke kun!" she was happy but the 'sasuke' besides her seems to be annoyed "Tch."

man.. sasuke could only look away.. Ino pity him

"But why I'm in the same team as sasuke iruka sensei!??" Naruto started complaining "to balance the team. Just so you remember naruto you have the lowest grades here, we put you on the same team as sasuke for balance okay?" iruka can only sigh as naruto hits his face on the table before raising his head again and glaring daggers at sasuke.

"continuing.."

...

...

When iruka sensei is finally done he announce that they don't need to leave the room as their team sensei will come and get them. So as time passes one by one.. the classroom become more and more quiet leaving only two teams behind

"Team 10?" a knock on the door cause the young shinobi to look up and in there is another sensei, now picking up team 10 "you our sensei?" choji ask while leaving the classroom although it's obvious he seems to want further confirmation. "Hey i see you Billboard brow!" Ino yelled as she stuck her tongue at her, closing the door before sakura could even react.

Well she did hear sakura yell angrily Hehe~

...Why must their sensei came early..

Can't he be late? So troublesome.

Now I'm stuck with this two.. Naruto is still okay at least his minding his business but this girl can be annoying.

...

Why is she in team 10?

she's the top Kunoichi can't she be in team 7?

Is it for team balance...

Annoying.

Sighs..

And here i thought i can be with her in the same team..
