Uncovered (Naruto Highschool Fanfiction)

'Fuck you too, bitch!'

Naruto's POV

"Will you actually put that thing down so that you can watch me?"

"No. But I shall look away from it momentarily."

I sigh and continue to the field. Coach said they had an extra pair of shoes and uniform that would fit me so I just brought Gaara. I'm really excited to be able to finally join a sport but I'm also nervous. What if I end up being clumsy and fall or can't even hit or catch a ball?

"You are nervous."

"Huh-y-yeah."

"Do not be. If what the coach says is true about your skill, you will do well."

I nod in agreement and keep my head raised. Gaara's right. There's nothing to be nervous about. I can do this.

"Hello, Naruto-kun, Gaara-kun, glad you two could make it. They're doing their warm-up so you can go change in the locker room. I left the uniform on the first bench."

"Okay. Gaara you can-" I looked to the side but Gaara wasn't there. Coach pointed to the benches and I saw Gaara putting down his bag and sitting on the third bench. I sweat dropped,"Figures. I'll be right back, Coach."

~~~

After about twelve minutes warm-ups were done, the field was set up, and I was introduced to the team. I looked up at the benches and Gaara was surprisingly on his phone texting.

He says it's the only sport he'll watch but he isn't watching.

"Okay, guys, let's start. It'll be an easy game to asses how well Naruto can play for the team. Don't be too tough on him, alright?"

"Yes, Coach!"

Gaara's POV

As I am waiting for the team to start playing I feel my phone vibrate in my pocket. Taking it out I see that I have received a text from Kankuro.

Hey you home yet
No. I am still at school.
You still have cleaning duty
No. I have stayed to watch my friend try out for baseball.
That blond kid
Yes.
Alright see you later

I lock my phone and place it back in my pocket. I look back towards the field just as the game starts.

Naruto's POV

I rub my sweaty hands on my pants and watch as the next player hits the ball and runs to second base. I look back towards the bleachers and Gaara is playing with his Tamagotchi and munching on a pack of Pocky.

Really? Really?! REALLY!?! After all his talk about how I would be better at baseball and how all the other sports are boring he isn't watching! I am mad...I'm so mad!

"You're up next, Naruto."

I stand and pick up the bat. I take up stance at the base and wait for the ball. The pitcher throws it.

"Strike 1!"
It's tossed back and it's thrown again.
"Strike 2!"
I grip the bat till my knuckles are white.

"It's okay, Naruto! One more try." Coach Yamato tries to reassure me.

The ball is thrown and it makes a connection with the bat. It flies up and over all the leather mitts hoping to catch it. The ball continued to soar until it's over the school fence.

I stand there at the base, unblinking. Wondering if that really just happened when I hear clapping. I drop the bat and turn towards the bleachers. Gaara is staring at me as he claps his hands together. He then stops and says,
