I'm pissed. Actually, I'm way past pissed, I don't even know what I am. Seeing Sakura in his jersey, man that jerk. Who does he think he is, coming in and stealing her? Not to mention having her stay the night at his house, and probably in his bed! I could kill him.

I glower as I lag behind in the locker room after the final hour and change into my soccer uniform, getting ready for the game. Today only the core team and varsity are playing. I still can't believe that Sasuke and I made the cut, but we did.

"Earth to Naruto." Sasuke's voice finally gets through my haze of anger and I grunt at him so he won't resort to hitting me.

"Why are you so pissed?" Sasuke asks pulling his game jersey on over his head and putting deodorant on.

I sit down on the bench in front of our lockers and pull my shoes on. "Why do you even care?" I grumble as I haphazardly tighten my laces and tie my shoes up.

Sasuke sighs and shuts his locker and sits down next to me to put his shoes on. "How about you're my best friend." He replies.

This time I sigh in defeat. "You saw, didn't you? Sakura wearing that jerks jersey." I say reluctantly casting him a sidelong glance. "That's got to bug you a little right?" I ask.

Sasuke shrugs and stands. "We have an important game to go play right now. So take Sakura out of your mind and let's go win, okay?" He says looking down at me and offering me a hand off the bench.

I take it and stand. He's right and I hate that I know he is. We need to win, we can win. Head in the game, I can do that. I nod at him and then give him one of my goofy grins. "No chance of them winning."

Sasuke slaps me on the back with a smirk. "We're going to wipe the field with them." He says with a small grin of his own before we head out to the field.

I can hear the cheers from the crowd and the music from the band as the team gathers outside the gym. Coach Guy wants us all to go out at the same time or something like that, for some grand entrance. I have a feeling he wants us to do something embarrassing but with how much school spirit everyone here has I don't think anyone will object.

Finally, both of the teams are here and we are ready to head to the field. Sasuke's pep talk has worked thank God. I feel the excitement tingle through my body and my heart start to race with nerves and as we get closer to the field I can make out the school anthem. Right before were in sight of the crowd Coach Guy has us stop and turns to us and starts to jump to the anthem. He signals for us to join him so we do.

"You're young and youthful!" He calls to us. "You have all the will power in yourselves to win!" He calls again to us, receiving him some cheers from the seniors. "Let's go men, and let the energy of the crowd propel you forward with the power of youth!"

We all then cheer loudly, and the announcer calls for us as Crazy Train starts up loudly from our band, the sure-fire signal that we are to run onto the field and take our place. I feel the school spirit build up inside of me like it did this morning and soon I find myself joining in with the team and the crowd, cheering and screaming loudly at our arrival.
