Sakura's p.o.v
I wake up in the morning and get ready for my jog. We meet at our meeting area, which had a lot more people there early than yesterday.
"I see that some of you who were late yesterday came early today. It seems as if those who were late learned there lesson.", Iruka says.
"Where's Kakashi?", asks Chouji.
"He always comes late, you might as well get used to it", he says.
"Then why don't you just report him so he can get fired for being late all the time?", asks Ino.
"I've reported him numerous amounts of times, nothing has changed.", he says.
After what felt like hours of waiting, Kakashi arrives incredibly late.
"Sorry I'm late. I was looking for my cell phone and it took me forever to find.", he says.
"Can we go now", I say sounding very pissed off.
"Patience little girl, patience.", he says.
Patience my ass. You're later than you were yesterday!
"Incase you haven't noticed, the soccer camp is almost here for there morning meeting, and they take the same trail as us, so if you fall behind you will be running with them.", Kakashi says.
Alright, I guess this means I have to give 100% today. No slacking, I don't want to be running with…Naruto.
Naruto has always been known for his incredible speed. He was the fastest runner on track team, and on the football team. He works out at least 5 hours a day. It's ridiculous how in shape he is. He can do almost any sport and excel at it. Although he is an amazing athlete, his grades aren't that good. I don't know how he does it, but he never studies, and still manages to get at least a C in every class. If he studied more, he could get better grades.
"Alright everyone, let's go!", Iruka says.
We get up and begin to run. After a few minutes of being in the middle of the group, I begin to pick up the pace. In less than 10 minutes I am ahead of everyone. I feel a rush of adrenaline course through me.
I'm ahead. I'm number one, and I knew I could do it. The first day I fell so far behind, and watched everyone else's back as I struggled to keep up. Now they can watch my back.
Iruka and Kakashi are the only people ahead of me. They're about 10 yards away. I look behind me to see any familiar faces. I see a man with brown hair pulled back in a pony tail, and a girl with two brown buns in her hair. I look forward and continue to run. This is an amazing feeling.
After a little while I slowed down a little. The girl with brown buns in her hair catches up to me, and is jogging right beside me.
"Hey", she says in a loud and friendly voice.
Wow, I just met this girl and I can already tell she is annoying as hell.
"My name is Tenten, what's your name?", she says with a smile on her face.
I don't respond. Ignore her. She's only trying to distract you. Keep your eyes on the prize, and leave her behind. It's time to run faster.
I give her a mean look, and she continues to blab obnoxiously.
"So do you like it here? I like it here. I've been going here for two years. I've lost so much weight, it's unbelievable", she rambles.
I run faster trying to get away from her. She runs faster to catch up to me. God what is wrong with this girl? Does she not get that I don't want to talk to her?
"Hey are you okay? You're not talking to me", she says sounding confused.
"Why don't you take a hint dumb ass!", I say rudely.
I push her away from me and she falls to the ground. Oops, that wasn't supposed to happen.I continue to run, leaving her on the ground while others laugh at her. There are a few laughs that I already recognize. I look behind me and see Temari and Naruto. Crap!
I can't go any faster. Sweat is pouring off my face, and the sun is beating on my skin. Everything hurts like hell, but I need to keep going. I don't wanna be anywhere near those traitors.
Eventually Temari falls behind, but Naruto catches up to me and runs next to me.
"Hey", he says with a goofy grin on his face.
God why does he have to be so attractive!
"Hey", I say.
"You're pretty", he says.
I'm blushing, but it's hard to tell since my face is already red. My whole body feels like it's floating. It's the feeling I get when I'm around someone I like.
Dang it! I thought I was over this jerk!
"Thanks", I say with a smile on my face.
"My name is Naruto Uzumaki, what's yours", he says.
"Sakura Suzuki", I say nervously.
"Oh, Sakura is a cute name", he says.
"Thanks", I say with a small smile.
He speeds up and leaves me behind. I look behind me and see Sasuke Uchiha who is darting past everyone. Damn. What's going on with him? He darts past me with out saying a word.
"Naruto your going to lose!", he shouts.
"I'm a head of you and we're almost there, so shut up bastard!", he shouts back.
"Watch your language!", shouts a white haired old man.
"Sorry!", Naruto shouts back.
He's so dumb, but he's so cute.
I see Sasuke and Naruto running neck and neck, but it's hard to tell who wins. I can already here them arguing from here. I look behind me and see that girl again. Ugh!
Seeing her makes me run faster, but she caught up to me anyways.
"Hey, what you did over there wasn't cool!", she says sounding like an angry five year old.
"Yeah, but it was funny, and I'll do it again if you don't leave me alone", I say.
"There's nothing funny about being a mean bitch!", she says loud enough for people to catch site of what's going on between us.
"You tell her Tenten!". Shouts a red headed camper.
And this is why everyone says gingers have no souls.
"You're just asking to get slapped aren'y you?", I say sounding very angry.
"You can't slap me if I'm ahead of you", she says with a mischievous grin.
She speeds up and crosses the finish line before me. How did I lose to this loser?
