"What not you too freshman! Ino's right we're not stupid! It's not like you can do any better, 3rd seat reserved is pretty hard to get into too if it's Teiko we're talking about Pinky!" He shouted.

And that ticked me even more. And don't get me wrong, he was right Teiko had high expectations and 3rd seat reserved was hard to get into but that was still nothing if we're talking about Teiko. The reserved seat's level was those of lead players of normal schools. And our school wasn't normal.

"Hmph. Teiko middle's badminton team, starting player 2nd seat. Sakura Haruno. NOT PINKY!" I said angrily for my nickname. "I hate being called picking," I growled glaring at the blond.

But instead of saying something like I expected, he looked at me shocked like the others. But I didn't blame them after all; they must have been thinking what's a starting player doing here and a 2nd seat at that.

"…Se-second s-seat?" he asked shocked.

"That's right… 2nd seat." I said bluntly.

Teiko starter? Why would any one of them want to come here? Especially a second seat. Sure Konoha high is good considering it started just 2 years ago, but we're not perfect yet and isn't exactly well known. We still have ways to go. So why? Why here of all places? Academics? Or did no school want her? But that's impossible. We're talking about 2nd seat of Teiko. That means best female player of Teiko.

"W-what?" I heard the boy that looked like he was asleep before say. He had black hair put into a high pony-tail making it look like he had a pineapple head.

"Do you guys really have a problem with me being a Teiko starter?" I asked glaring at the floor. I should have known this would happen. I'm different. I'm strong for my age. Extremely strong. That's why some fear me. Admire me. But that's why I don't usually have real friends. They all want to be my friend for the fame. For the sake of it.

"T-that's amazing!" the loud blond said. "I'm just confused as to why."

"Confused? What is there to be confused about? I just didn't want to go to those schools that just want to win. I just want to learn the reason why I loved to play so much. I just wanted to remember… I just for once… didn't want to play to always win."

"You're weird. Why wouldn't you want to play to win?"

"You wouldn't want to play either if everyday you're forced to play just for victory. When you can't stop and just enjoy the game. That's what Teiko's about. Winning. Winning with no exceptions. Well that's what's expected of the starting players at least."

"… That's kinda sad. I guess. Well anyways… Welcome to Konoha High's Badminton Team. Me? Wanna know who I am? Well I'm gonna tell you any ways. My name is Naruto Uzamaki! One of the starting players in this school. Hehe!" he said enthusiastically.

While he introduced himself I heard the others mumble the words idiot under their breaths. This made me giggle knowing they already excepted me and didn't care if I was a star player in the Badminton Society. And it was refreshing to learn that for once I can show the real me and the others would actually see it other than the fact I'm pretty much like an athletic celebrity.

"Whatever, anyways time to reintroduce myself. *cough cough* Konoha High's Badminton Club. Starting players, Uzamaki Tenten. I'm also Naruto's adopted sister. Oh yeah I'm also a junior this year and as for Naruto he's gonna be a sophomore. Welcome to our school team. Hope you can make it to our top 8 theirs only 3 spots left. Well four since even I'm gonna be playing at tomorrow's selection matches. The way the selection matches work is that each new season we'll have a tournament to see who is the top 4 boys and top 4 girls that would represent the school that season, making the new staring team," she said smiling.

"Shikamaru Nara also a starting member… Also a junior… What else? Oh yeah don't bother me when I sleep. Anyways welcome to the team Sakura-chan, Ino-chan," said the pineapple headed boy. Despite his lazy nature he seemed to be nice.

"Neji Hyuuga. Junior. Co-captain of the badminton team. Nice to meet you," the boy that had long brown hair pulled into a low pony tail. His eyes where like a pale lavender and it looked as if it didn't have any pupils which made him look a little creepy but in a way he was still handsome.

Lastly, "Sasuke Uchiha. Sophomore. Captain. Welcome," he said in a monotone voice.

Suddenly the door squeaked open, and in popped in a tiny head. "Ehh… is this the badminton team?" she asked. When we nodded she continued "M-my name is H-hinata I-I would like to join please," she said. Hinata had long purplish hair and the same pupiless eyes that Neji has.

After Hinata signed up the eight of us played some match and told some stories. They especially wanted to hear about Teiko. It turned out that Sasuke-kun was very good. His smashes, clears, drops, nets… everything about his shots were just absolutely perfect. His form was just absolutely beautiful. He really was amazing.

The others were no slouch either. Tenten has like a thousand trick shots. I mean it nearly all her shots were tricks. It was also done perfectly and at the right time. Naruto… he was just a loudmouth knucklehead that didn't use his brain and didn't really have anything amazing except for his never dying energy. Now that was the most shocking out of everyone else's. But in a way it was kina disturbing. Neji turned out to be very perspective and had good reaction. He was also fast but not as fast as Sasuke. Then there was also Shikamaru. It turns out he has a very high IQ and he was a fast thinker. Desite all his lazyness he really was amazing making the best decisions a few steps before. In a way he really was good especially as a leader. When we were playing we learned that Hinata was Neji's younger cousin and it turned out their way of playing was surprisingly similar.

Soon it was time to go home. This was the first time I've had so much fun with a group of people that treated me equally. It also turned out that everyone was very kind even Neji and Sasuke despite their anti-socialness. They were actually very protective and understanding. Before we left we said good night and good luck for tomorrow' official first day of school and tomorrow's selection matches to make it to the team.

When I got home I took a relaxing bath and ate some of the food my parents made. It turned out they had a business trip all of the sudden and they couldn't say goodbye but the still wrote a note saying good luck. And I went to bed I couldn't help but to think of Sasuke-kun. Something about him attracts him to me and I actually wanted to know him more… I couldn't wait until I saw him tomorrow. I ended up drifting to sleep thinking of him. Sasuke Uchiha.

I laid on my bed thinking about the events that occurred today. Sakura Haruno huh? She really is amazing. And she's not even at her limit yet. But she's strange too. When all the girls fist see me they show even the slightest hint of attraction. But her… she didn't show any of that sort. It's either she doesn't have any interest in me or she's very good at hiding it. But I hope she has at least the slightest liking to me because something about her makes me interested. Something about her is just so enticing. Her light pink hair and vibrant green eyes are just so lovable. Cute isn't even a word to describe her, she's beyond beautiful, she's just so adorable. And she's incredibly strong too for a girl. She may even be stronger than some guys. She really is enticing, and interesting. With that in mind I fell asleep with my thoughts filled with the beautiful girl that I met today. Sakura Haruno.

What the two of them didn't know is that one day they would become much closer and may even become something more than friends.

This was a little long sorry if it's pretty boring right now but i hope I can make it more interesting soon .

But even so I hope you enjoy this
