After lunch break, everyone went to their next class, which was Science.

Their teacher was Mr. Kakashi Hatake. He was the substitute for the day. Their actual Science teacher had called in sick for the day.

Everyone was minding their own business.

There was a group of 4 girls in one corner of the class and Naruto couldn't help but to overhear what they were saying.

Naruto walked over to their group.

"Excuse me, but I couldn't help but overhear your conversation…were you saying something about a substitute teacher for the day…?"

"Listen loser", one of the girls said in a cheeky tone. "You do know it's rude to ease drop, don't you?"

"Listen chick, I said I overheard. I wasn't ease dropping", Naruto replied in a tone that showed he didn't care about the girl's remark.

"Humph!" With that said all 4 girls tossed their heads and went back to talking to each other, clearly ignoring Uzumaki.

Naruto went and took the black board eraser from the teacher's desk and now had a very broad grin on his face.

"Naruto! What are you up to now?!" Sakura scolded.

"I'm just having a little fun", Naruto said, setting the black board eraser on top of the door so that it would fall when the teacher walked in.

"Hopeless…" Sakura muttered under her breath with a sigh.

Uh-Oh…

There came in Mr. Hatake and …

Yes people!! You guessed it! The black board eraser fell right on his head!!

Everyone burst out laughing, even Sakura was giggling…

But Naruto was laughing the most…

With a sigh, and then a smile, Mr. Hatake said, "Don't worry. Class clowns are usually the weakest links. Lowest scores. Losers."

Now, Naruto had stopped laughing. He wasn't happy with the remarks that he had gotten.

"What did you call me?" he asked the teacher, clearly annoyed.

"It appears you didn't quite hear me properly. I said that class clowns are usually the weakest links. Lowest scores. Losers."

"I'm no loser!" Naruto shouted back!

"Then prove it to me, by passing on your next assignment", Mr. Hatake said calmly.

He divided everyone into groups of three;

Hinata, Kiba and Shino; Naruto, Sakura and Sasuke; Ino, Shikamaru and Chouji; Neji, Lee and Tenten; and so on….

"Cha! In your face Ino-Pig I get to be with Sasuke!" Sakura thought.

"Yeah! Score! I get to be with Hinata!" Kiba thought.

"Oh yeah…Sakura's mine now…I just need to get her away from that idiot, Sasuke", Naruto thought.

"Damn you, bill-board brow!! You get to be with my Sasuke and I have to be with these lame idiots?!" Ino thought.

All the thoughts were about competition…except Sasuke's…

"Why do I get the feeling I wanted to be with Hinata…?"

A/N : Yay! I finished chapter 3!!

Review please….
