Chapter 2-High school
"B L A C K," the guy on the radio said. "The number one metal station in California is asking you to get up!" Neji slammed the off button on the alarm clock.
"Ugh," he said slipping out of bed. Naruto jumped out. "What are you so hyped up about?"
"High school," Naruto said. "American schools are supposedly cool."
"What's to be excited about," Neji said slipping on his shirt.
"It's American school it's something new," Naruto said walking out of the room and down to the kitchen, where Sakura had already scrambled eggs.
Close Up With Neji
"I don't know about the rest of us but I think this is real big waste of my time," Neji said. "Honestly I don't think I need to go to an American school to be and attaché."
Close up With Naruto
"I think this is going to be cool," Naruto said. "It should be interesting to see what American education is like."
"Hmm good eggs Sakura chan," Naruto said with his mouth full. She hit him on the hand with wood spoon.
"Don't talk with your mouth full," she ordered. "Its rude."
"Fine fine," Naruto replied rubbing his hand. The rest simply ate their eggs and bacon, grabbed their things and went out to the garage.
"Shikamaru there isn't a bike for you," Gaara said hopping onto his bike.
"Na I don't like motorcycles anyway," Shikamaru told him getting into a black Dodge Viper.
"Suit yourself," Gaara said kick starting his bike and driving it out of the driveway. Sasuke Naruto and Neji followed. The girls and Shikamaru followed after them. They drove down their street and towards Hunnington's main street, from which they turned left and then pulled into the school. Everyone was looking at them as they pulled in.
"Kick ass," Sasuke said parking in a parking spot.
"Not a bad ride," Naruto said getting off. By the time everyone had gotten there the first bell went off and they went into Hunnington Beach High school.
"Let's meet up for lunch," Tenten said. And then they all went their separate ways.
"I cannot believe I am not in the same home room as Naruto kun," she said sitting in a desk. A few people looked at her. "Check out the blue hair," one boy said. Some people laughed. She secretly did a few seals. "Byakugan," she said. "I wouldn't be talking," she said. "I can see someone shaves in areas I don't need to talk about."
"But but I," he said. The whole class was laughing at the one boy and he shut his mouth. Hinata took a seat. Homeroom was quick and in three minutes Hinata was out of it and off to her first class.
"Remember football tryouts are after school if anyone wants to sign up today is the last day," the lady on the morning announcements said.
"Football," Sasuke said. He had watched the game a little bit and watched American soldiers in Konoha play the game, but he never played it himself. He did understand the workings of the game though.
"Sasuke Uchiha," the teacher said.
"Right here," he said raising his hand. "Think I'll give football a try."
Later that day Neji entered math class. "I can't believe this is my class before lunch," he said. He stomach grumbled. "I cannot do math at my best on any empty stomach." He sat down in the middle of the class.
"Hey guys," the math teacher said. "I'm Mr. Poe."
"And I'm Mrs. Gallagher," the other teacher said.
"Two teachers," Neji said to himself. "What do they think I'm five?"
"I'm handing out a warm up," she said. "Do it and then we'll go over it." Neji noticed Mrs. Gallagher's chest, which was engorged a lot and she was walking slowly. "I wonder," Neji said doing a few seals and activating his Byakugan. He looked at his teacher. He saw she was having twins. "A boy and a girl," Neji said. "She is real lucky."
"Something worth sharing to the class Mr. Hyuga," Mr. Poe said.
"No sorry sir," Neji said continuing the assignment.
Finally lunch came and the ninja regrouped with each other. "Is this school something," Naruto said sitting down and taking out a brown paper bag.
"I got to admit it isn't that bad," Sasuke said.
"I have a teacher whose going to give birth to twins," Neji said.
"Wonder how you found that out," Sasuke said rolling his eyes. "Anyone thinking of doing any sports," Sasuke asked.
"I'm going out for field hockey," Tenten said. "And lacrosse in the spring."
"Think I'm going to do some cross country," Neji said.
"I'm trying out for the football team," Sasuke said.
"Good luck," Naruto said. "That's a tough team to make."
"Hunnington hasn't won a state championship in three years," Sasuke said. "I think they could use a few new players."
"You going out for anything yourself Naruto kun," Hinata asked.
"Not now," Naruto said. "Spring come 'round I am definitely trying out for baseball."
"Now that is something I know Naruto can do well," Sakura said. Back in Konoha Naruto was called "the blonde Ruth". He was probably the best baseball player Konoha had ever seen. He could hit well, run well and field well. He was an all around good player. He couldn't pitch though, but that didn't matter since he usually played first base anyway.
"Hinata chan you going out for anything," Temari asked.
"Maybe basketball," Hinata said. "I know I am doing work for the schools radio station." (AN my school has one I work for it as one of the announcers for sports).
"DJing," Neji asked.
"Yes what else would I do Neji niisan," she said.
"I don't know Hinata sama," Neji replied.
Well two periods after lunch the day ended. Sasuke and Tenten stayed behind for tryouts.
Sasuke slipped on some should pads and his shin guards. "Quaterback pads," one of the other guys said.
"Yeah I'm going out for that," Sasuke said.
"Ha," the same guy said. "I was quarterback for two years now and I don't intend to give up the position." He walked towards the door, slapping Sasuke with his helmet on the back."See you around meat." The other boys laughed. Sasuke slipped on his helmet and went out to the field with the rest of them where they started doing drills. Sasuke did all they had so far, and pasted with flying colors. The coaches, Coach Maller and Coach Patelli couldn't help but watch him. "Who is that kid," Patelli said.
"He's one of them exchange students," Maller, the older of the two said. "One of them ninja fellers."
"The kids good that's for sure," he said. Patelli then blew a whistle. "Alright that's it," he said. "Bring it in." Sasuke went back to the locker room.
"That kids good," one of the others said pointing to Sasuke.
"Wouldn't be surprised if he made it," another one said. Sasuke didn't here a work of it. He just went back to his locker, grabbed his gym bag and walked out to his motorcycle.
"Hey kid," Coach Patelli yelled out. He walked up to Sasuke.
"Hey coach," Sasuke said.
"Never saw anyone do that well in a tryout," Patelli told him.
"I do my best at everything," Sasuke said.
"What's your name kid," Patelli asked.
"Sasuke Uchiha," he told the coach.
"Where'd you play before Sasuke," the coach questioned as he watched Sasuke get on his bike and start it.
"Never did play before coach," he said over the engine. He then took off out of the school and went back home.
"Strange," the coach said getting into his car. He took out the list of players he wanted on the team and wrote down one more name. "Backup quarterback," he said. "Sasuke Uchiha."
Sasuke got home and set his stuff out on the kitchen floor. "How did it go Sasuke kun," Sakura asked.
"Ok," Sasuke said panting. "Hard for someone who never actually played before." He sat down at the table and started doing his homework.
"Sucks for you Uchiha," Neji said hitting him on the back.
"Shut up Hyuga," Sasuke said giving him a glare. Neji went back to whatever he was doing. Then Tenten walked in the door.
"That was fun," she said.
"What position did you go out for," Temari asked.
"Goalie," Tenten told her. "For an hour and half not a goal scored on me."
"Let's get some tunes on," Shikamaru said turning the dial on the radio.
"Hello Hunnington Beach," Hinata said. "This is Hinata Hyuga here saying it's great to be here. Now time for some old music. Here's Uncle Kracker." She back spun the disk a few times and then put in a CD. It started playing Follow Me.
"I remember this song," Neji said. "I sang it to you," he said looking at Tenten.
"You did," she said looking at him.
"When you passed out one day from training I brought you home and sang it to you to go to sleep," he told her.
"Oh yeah," she exclaimed.
"You don't know how you met you don't know why can't turn around and say goodbye," Neji sang.
"But all I know that when you look at me I'll swim through your veins like a fish in the sea," Tenten sang.
"Leave the vocals to the singer," Neji said. Tenten swatted him in the back of the head.
"Oh come on now," Tenten said.
"You're a drummer not a singer," Neji said walking away and into his bedroom. "Let's see now I have a teacher whose going to give birth I am now on the cross country team good thing I didn't half to try out and this school is ok," Neji said. He then closed his eyes and took a nap.
