Okay, so I'm one day late...I swear, working in parents' restaurants KILLS all chances of updating in time...but I'm not THAT late, so please enjoy!

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto.

GYM

Sadly, Gai-sensei was forcing everyone to run laps around the school again…one hundred, to be precise.

"One hundred?" Nori exclaimed. "You have got to be kidding, Gai-sensei!"

"Yes, well, the period will end before half of you get to two hundred laps, so you'll just have to tolerate the minimum number, Miss Hiroshi. Now run, my students! Use the power…of YOUTH!" He punched the air enthusiastically.

"Yes sir!" Lee shouted as he started to jog.

"If he wasn't a teacher, I'd do something drastic," Neji muttered.

"Hey, just be thankful this is the short period," Tenten whispered. She turned to Nori and put on a sly smile. "So, have fun that night at the sleep over, hm?"

"What are you talking about?" Nori said, looking away.

"Nothing really," Tenten said. "But that balcony is really nice, isn't it?"

"You didn't—"

"I saw," Tenten chuckled. "But I didn't tell anyone, don't get a heart attack."

"Look, I just say him outside last night and went outside to see what he was doing, that's all! You would do the same," Nori argued.

"And then you fell asleep under the stars," Tenten said in a fake-dreamy voice. "So romantic." She laughed.

"We were obviously too tired and it was cooler outside. We just got drowsy and fell asleep, is all!"

"In each other's arms."

"Just shut up, Tenten."

"Don't have to be snappy about it," Tenten said, shaking her head.

"Honestly, I'd expect this stuff from Sakura or Ino," Nori said. "Not from you."

"Okay, okay, I'll stop."

LUNCH

"Yo, dude."

"Hey guys," Nori greeted her two best friends in the whole wide world.

"Not bad for a first sleep over, huh?" Kiba remarked. "And I don't think a girl's ever invited boys to her sleep over in the history of this school!"

"Yeah, that's one for the Memory Journal!" Naruto exclaimed, whipping out a dark-blue composition book.

"Memory journal?" Nori asked.

"Oh yeah," Kiba said. "It's a thing Naruto started in first grade. This year he told me. A Memory Journal."

"And you didn't tell me because…?"

"We thought you would think it was stupid," Kiba admitted.

Nori laughed. "Yeah right. What've you written so far?"

"Just the first day and when we met Jiraiya…" Naruto said. "And now the sleepover!"

Nori peered over Naruto's shoulder and sweat dropped. "Eh…I hate to tell you this, Naruto, but…your hand writing is chicken scratch."

"Huh?" Naruto looked back down. "Oh, this is Kiba's writing."

Kiba crossed his arms.

"This is my writing."

Nori fell over animatedly and then got back up again. "That's even worse!"

"Well excuse us, but can you do any better?" Naruto asked.

"Of course," Nori said. She started writing the date and event that had happened at her house.

"Oh," Naruto pouted.

"That settles it. From now on, you'll be the one writing these things down," Kiba said.

"A Memory Journal…it's a really good idea, Naruto," Nori said.

"Thanks," Naruto said.

"He got it from our Kindergarten teacher," Kiba whispered.

Naruto scoffed. "Whatever, Kiba."

HOMEROOM-END OF THE DAY

"Class, I have a special announcement," Kakashi said.

Everyone groaned.

"Yes, yes, I sound stiff, don't I?" Kakashi said. "Well, anyway, there's a school event in a few days. We will have your parents come in to talk about their work, then have everyone be picked randomly for a job. Lo and behold, Job Day. So be sure to tell your parents."

Nori stared down at her desk sadly.

"Of course, there will be a few problems with some in the class with this day, such as their parents being unable to come or you forgetting to bring them. That's okay. Students will be put together into teams of three when they are picked. Any questions? No? Good. Class dismissed."

AFTERSCHOOL-HOME 5:00 PM

Nori was on her computer in a chat room with her friends or in other words, the people who were online. Namely Sasuke, Neji, Naruto, Sakura, and Tenten.

JOB DAY

The parents had come and talked and talked and TALKED about their jobs. There was an accountant, a firefighter, a police officer, a lawyer, an actor, a pharmacist, anything you can think of that I can't. Everyone in the seventh grade was in Kakashi's classroom, listening "intently" to the parents and I use the word "intently" very loosely.

"Pst. Kakashi, their done," Kurenai whispered to Kakashi, jabbing him in the stomach.

"Erk! Why'd you do that--oh?" Kakashi stared at the class. The teachers were in the back of the room. "Oh, right." He walked to the front. "Ahem, well, wasn't that interesting? Now we will put you into groups to spend the day with these hard-working adults. Won't that be fun?"

No one wanted to be impolite but Naruto. However, his "no" was drowned out with the polite "yes"es given.

"Okay. Remember your number," Kakashi said. Once he had finished counting off, he told the ones to go to one corner of the room, the twos, the threes, etc. etc.

Nori found herself in a group consisting of...Ino, Shino, and her. Wow.

"Er…" Nori looked from her left side to her right.

Shino was just standing there like Shino and Ino was…well, filing her nails and looking really annoyed because Sakura had scored a group with Sasuke again.

"So who are we with?" Ino said after a while.

"Hello, young not quite matured ones!"

Nori cringed. No…

Jiraiya stood there with a smile on his face. "Ready for a day of fun?"

Ino, Shino, and Nori sweat dropped.

"I'll take that as a yes! Now you'll find out the life of a best-selling author!"

Hm...kind of short...OH WELL! R&R Please!
