Wacky Words

Tenten's PoV

I nearly jumped out of bed when my alarm clock went off this morning. This was the spirit day I was looking most forward too; wacky tacky Wednesday. Doesn't it just sound…fun? I hadn't planned what I was going to wear; it would kind of defeat the purpose. Instead I just started pulling the stuff from my closet. I put on my blue t-shirt and yellow cami over that, knee length shorts and a pink skirt. I had mismatched knee socks on my feet, many necklaces and two different belts. My hair was basically the same only with some hair hanging on each side and multicolored hair ties in each. I had to admit I was a bit nervous about showing up at school like this, what is no one else dressed up too? I didn't worry for very long because as I began to walk out the door my phone rang and before I could even say hello Ino was threatening me about what she would do if I didn't show up at the school looking as ridiculous as she did. I reassured her as quickly as possible and then rushed down the street to catch up with Neji and Hinata.

Hinata finally came into view and from behind I could tell she had also gotten the threatening phone call as well. Finally I reached her and I could see Neji walking a little a head looking as normal as ever.

"Neji refused to walk anywhere near us." Hinata said with a giggle. I then picked up my pace and was soon in step with him.

"You know you won't be able to avoid us all day. "

He didn't respond at first, only glanced at me out of the corner of his eye. "I can certainly try." I rolled my eyes and started a conversation with Hinata.

At school (Sakura's P.o.V)

"Hey Sakura." Two voices rang together. I closed my locker door and turned to look at my two persistent admirers both enjoying the spirit day and looking even more tacky then usual. Really I loved them both dearly, Naruto and Lee were both great and all but that didn't stop the fact that I didn't like them the way they wanted me to. And honestly if either one asked me to the dance again I'll probably hit them.

"Hey guys." I smiled. Silently I prayed that those words weren't going to come out of their mouths. Maybe it was enough.

"Why don't you two fools just give up, you could ask her to that stupid dance a million times and it's going to always be a no." Sasuke had interrupted what ever it was they were going to say but Sakura would have almost preferred he didn't then have him bring up the dance around her. Naruto shot Sasuke a quick glare before walking away but Lee being Lee proceeded to ask me to the dance and I politely declined the offer. Lee walked away looking unaffected.

"Well thanks for trying I guess." I said to the one boy left standing next to me.

"Yeah sure. " He said and took a step away and looked at her awkward appearance. She had been no exception to the phone call and looked as if she had just fallen into a laundry basket. She said no more to him because Ino, Tenten, and Hinata were all rushing down the hallway and she had to burst out in laughter at the sight.

Sasuke PoV

I stood and watched the three girls pull Sakura away down the hall as they babbled about which one of them looked the wackiest. In my own opinion none of them looked even acceptable enough to leave their homes. The bell rang and I joined everyone else in the classroom. I sat in the corner with the other boys but didn't speak. I glanced down to where the girls were sitting and the bet with the other three crossed my mind. I had been able to keep Naruto from winning this bet so far. I was also positive that Shikamaru would be troubling himself with asking anyone anytime soon. I could be sure of winning if I just asked Sakura, I'm sure she would say yes. I took the risk not bothering with it yesterday but being half way through the week now I should probably do something. I'll just ask her after the bell rings and be done with it. I felt incredibly confident.

The bell rings.

'That was fast.'

We exited the room and I continued to watch as the girls said bye to Tenten. I would have to get Sakura alone before asking, Ino would certainly loose it if she heard.

"Oh darn I left my book back in the room," Sakura said and turned quickly "you all go on I'll catch up." 'Just my luck.'

I slowed my pace till the others had walked far enough ahead that they would not see me turn and I met Sakura as she was walking back out of the classroom.

"Oh hey Sasuke I just forgot my book," she held up the book "did you forget something too?"

"No," now just ask her "I was just going to ask if askljgfaosigfjlk." I must have done something wrong because the words that came out of my mouth didn't sound much like 'if you wanted to go to the dance with me' and the fact that she was looking at me with a great amount of confusion in her eyes.

"You were going to ask what now?" She questioned as if maybe she had only misunderstood and I had not just babbled something incoherent.

"I was going to ask Iruka sensei something," I lied "could you tell Asuma I'm going to be a little late." Her confusion slipped away and she smiled.

"Yeah of course." She stepped around me and rushed to catch up with her friends.

Okay something must be wrong with me. I DON'T BABBLE. I am so far above babbling. Why did that just happen?

'Maybe, despite what you think, asking Sakura to the dance may have made you nervous.'

I don't get nervous over such simple, unimportant things.

'Maybe it's not as unimportant as you want to make it seem.'

2nd Period

"So to the topic of the dance." Ino said to start a conversation. "It's on Saturday night so we should all meet up at one of our houses and get ready together."

"Ino can't this wait," Sakura said "we haven't even gotten anything to wear yet or a date as a matter of fact."

"We'll you could technically have a date," Tenten said "you just have to say yes to one of the ten boys that asked you."

"Is it just me or do I only seem to attract freaks?" The pink haired girl questioned.

"That's not true."

"Whatever."

"Well how about we all come over to my house on Saturday afternoon?" Tenten suggested.

"Okay." They agreed and there was a silence.

"So how is the date thing going for you two?" Ino asked Tenten and Hinata.

Back to Sasuke's PoV

'So what are you going to do about your babbling problem?'

I don't have a babbling problem; I do however have a problem with an annoying voice that's following me around.

'You have a babbling problem around Sakura.'

I'm talking to myself that's my only problem.

'Whatever.' The voice didn't say anything more and I looked across the lunch table at Sakura. She was getting up to go to the bathroom.

I'll just prove I don't have a babbling problem.

'Oh so now you're talking to me.' I waited a few seconds after she had gotten up before I did too. I walked to the trash can and then walked into the hallway and waited for Sakura to emerge from the bathroom.

'So you do remember the words this time right? And you know how they should sound?' I tried to ignore the voice. 'Okay well it goes like this: Sakura will you go to the dance with me?'

I got it already. Why must girl take so long in the bathroom? Sakura finally emerged, walking backwards. She appeared to be speaking with someone. I started to walk and when she turned around she nearly ran into me and dropped her purse.

"Oh sorry." She apologized and looked away embarrassed. She knelt down to pick up the spilled belongings.

"It's okay." 'Well no babbling so far.' "Sakura go the with dance me will you to?" 'I told you you had a babbling problem but you just had to prove me wrong. I'm never wrong.'

Again the girl must have blamed her own distracted self instead of ever thinking I would give an incoherent question. "Sorry I didn't catch that?" She said standing straight up again.

"Nothing, it's not important." I walked past her and into the boy's restroom. I stood in the bathroom and stared at the mirror just to make sure I was still myself. It looked like my reflection should. I wasn't pale but I certainly felt sick.

Later Still Sasuke's PoV

Okay so this will solve any problem with misunderstandings and there won't be any chance of babbling because the words will be right there. It was nearly the end of our second to last class and I had flipped to the empty pages of my notebook.

'A note? That is your brilliant idea, well your right you won't get the chance to babble and there will be no chance of incomprehension." I

I scribbled the note quickly. Sakura will you go to the dance with me? Signed my name, folded it up and wrote her name across the front. As soon as the bell rang I rushed out of class. Sakura spent her last period as apprentice to Tsunade, during this evaluation week she had been calling herself a teachers assistant. Either way she spent the next hour filing papers and if he placed the note on her desk then she would surely see it. I slipped into the office, there were quite a few others there and no one noticed me. The note went on the top of a pile of folders and I was back out the door and in the hall. I planned to miss part of my last class to watch and make sure she got the note.

Sakura's PoV

"Sorry I'm late Shizune, I stopped to get some water." I entered the office quickly, sat, placed my bottled water down and started my work. There was a note on top of one of the piles on my desk and it caught my eye. I picked it up and began to unfold it when Shizune squeaked.

She was trying to take a box down from the top of a tall falling cabinet and things were starting to fall. I jumped up to help and we managed to catch everything. I placed the box uncaringly on my desk to pick up some papers from the floor. The box tipped over the water bottle, knocking the loose cap off, and covered the desk in water. Note included. The other office staff helped me mop up the mess and when the chaos finally slowed I opened the now soggy note. The words were smeared and unreadable.

"Hope that wasn't anything too important." I said and dropped the note into the waste bin.

Sasuke's PoV

I stood in the hallway and watched as the scene went from bad to worse. When the note had been discarded I felt like banging my head on the door.

'Wow, I guess I'm not always right, I really believed this plan would have worked. Maybe we ought to get back to class now.'

I agreed with the voice and trudged down the hall.

Practice (no ones PoV)

Football was finally getting less confusing and almost seemed fun for the boys to participate in. The girls were finally getting to a point where their routines and cheers looked synchronized. And finally Madoka, Ayako, and the rest of evaluator bunch had to leave early to check on some other school so they weren't asking constant questions.

When practice ended the guys went to the oh so familiar locker rooms to change and went back to the oh so familiar topic of the bet.

"So any luck today Naruto?" Shikamaru asked him casually.

"No but I still have faith and if that doesn't work out I have a back up idea." He stated. Though the others wanted to know about his other idea they didn't question in hopes that he would drop the subject. "What about you Sasuke, given us enough of a head start yet." Sasuke didn't say anything back only shut his locker door and left. Naruto rounded on Neji but before he could open his mouth he was also leaving with out a word. The blonde boy ran after them while Shikamaru continued to take his time.

'Maybe I actually have a shot at winning this bet." He thought and smiled just a bit.

So their it it. Short, late but i think it's pretty okay. The Next chapter will be ShikaIno and the girls will be going shopping (or maybe i could make that two seprate shorter chapters, i don't know yet)
