"So what's next," I asked. Ino, Tenten, and Hinata ran up and pulled me away from Kiba before he could answer.
"Let's go outside and eat," Hinata suggested.
"I'm guessing that it's lunch," I laughed. We had finally made it to the cafeteria when we ran into a group of guys. Literally.
"Watch where the hell you're going!"
"Excuse me," I fumed. I stood up rubbing my sore spot. "Maybe you should stop popping up out of no where. Then maybe we wouldn't have run into you." I felt Ino grab the back of my shirt.
Without warning, the blonde guy started laughing. "She sure told you, Hidan. I like her. What about you Itachi?"
Blinking in surprise I backed away. Sasuke told me that he's not the same person he was. If the man in front of me was Itachi then I don't want to know what he has been doing. The man looked at me with an expressionless look. I hint of recognition flashed in his eyes. They may have shown it but his outside appearance didn't.
"Harmony, we should go," Tenten said. Nodding, I let the girls pull me away. We had made it outside and on the grass before I had noticed I was shaking. The rest of our group made their way toward us laughing.
"Don't say anything," I told the girls.
Neji looked at me and asked, "What happened? Are you okay?"
"Yeah," I mumbled. They all sat down and started talking about the upcoming football game.
"So Tenten told us you play a bunch of sports," Ino said. The guys stopped talking and focused on me.
"I don't play a bunch of sports," I said.
"Dude, you do cheer, gymnastics, baseball, basketball, volleyball, cross-country, and track," Tenten interrupted. "That sounds like a bunch to me."
"I just so happen to know the cheer captain," Shikamaru said.
"You can't be talking about yourself," I said. Everyone started cracking up.
"I was talking about Ino, smartass."
"I'm not smartass. I'm Harmony. Jeez Shika, stop confusing me with other people."
"Shut up."
"Shut doesn't go up."
"I'm done," he said throwing his hands up in the air. I started poking his side repeatedly. "What are you doing?"
"I'm checking to see if you're done," I said innocently.
"Back to the subject on hand," Ino said still laughing. "We have an open spot if you want it."
"I thought you had to audition to be on my squad?" Half the table turned to find Sakura and her followers.
"From the way I see it, Ino's the captain so it's her squad. Second, I was head cheerleader for Suna so I think I'm pretty well qualified. You wanna argue more Pinky," I fumed. A look of hurt flashed on her face before it disappeared. Turning on her heel she walked away complaining. "You were saying," I said looking back at Ino.
"As I was going to say, Hinata and I are the only two flyers right now. Our third moved away a few days before you got here. Even though the game is this Friday we could have practice all week so you could learn everything," she pleaded.
"If it means that much to you then I'll do it. But you don't have to have extra practice for me to get it."
"We'll see about that," Tenten said.
"Have some faith you guys," I said eating my fries.
Kiba reached over and grabbed a fry saying, "I have complete faith in you." seeing this, Naruto tries to grab one but fails when I smack his hand.
"You let him do it," he whined rubbing his hand.
"Boyfriend. Friend." I said pointing to Kiba and Naruto in turn. "He gets special privileges as long as he doesn't go overboard." I ignored the girls' giggling in the background. Poor Naruto started pouting so I gave up and gave him one.
"What happened to him not getting any?" Sasuke teased.
"We all know I could never resist his pout," I said.
