[Name] was getting ready to leave and go to the academy. Today was the day that they found out their teams. She was so nervous that she didn't sleep the night before. So, she slept in and was going to be late..again. She grabbed her new headband and tied it around her forehead. A small smile escaped her lips as she looked in the mirror one final time.

"I'm going to be the last one there.." She mumbled to herself while heading out the door of her house.

[Name] basically ran there and everyone stared at her as she entered the classroom. "You're late." Their teacher said rather annoyed that not everyone was there yet.

She tried to avoid the gazes of everyone and find a seat. She found herself sitting beside Kakashi Hatake, her friend since they were young. "What took so long?" He asked her.

"I..slept in..." [Name] answered. She was late pretty often. Each time, she'd try harder to be early but that didn't work out.

Kakashi noticed the frown on her face and his eyes softened. "At least you're not as late as Obito."

"But, he always has a reason why he's late." [Name] defended him.

Kakashi scoffed. "Do you really think he's out doing all those things he always says he's doing?" He was kind of irked that his best friend would stick up for someone like Obito.

"He has no reason to lie about it." The girl reasoned.

As if on timing, Obito ran into the classroom panting and flustered.

"You're late." The teacher at the front of the room gave the same "greeting" to him.

"I was helping an old lady with her bags!" He said while taking his seat.

Laughter from many students erupted into the room. He tried to ignore everyone but it was obviously bothering him. [Name] got angry that they were laughing at him. She was about to say something but, Kakashi, knowing that she would cause a scene, shot her a glare warning her. This caused her to frown even more. She lowered her head on the desk and sighed.

"Now that everyone's here, let's begin." The teacher said.

"I hope we're on the same team, Kakashi." [Name] whispered to him. Kakashi was one of her only friends and she felt comfortable with him. She was afraid of being on a team with weirdos.

Kakashi looked at the girl beside him and smiled. His eyes creased indicating that it was a smile, which she returned. "It'll be fine. I know we'll be on the same team." He could sense that she was very anxious and hoped that would help her calm down.

[Name] blocked out the teacher until she heard Kakashi's name called.

"....Team 7 will consist of... Kakashi Hatake...." They both looked up.

"[Name] [Last Name]..." She looked at Kakashi and smiled as she threw an arm around him, squeezing him tightly. He blushed at the contact but it was hidden by his mask.

"Rin Nohara, and Obito Uchiha." Kakashi's smile faltered at the sound of Obito's name. [Name] only smiled more at the names of her new teammates.

"Yes!!" Obito exclaimed. He looked back at Rin and he frowned seeing her looking at Kakashi excitedly.

-------------------------

[Name], Kakashi, and Rin stood there with their new sensei, waiting on Obito. It was kind of awkward because they were waiting for him before they introduced themselves. So, they just stood there looking around.

"I'm sorry... I'm late... guys.!!" Obito panted as he ran approaching them.

"It's alright." Their sensei said, smiling. "My name is Minato and I'll be your sensei." Everyone smiled at him, well except Kakashi.

Then he looked at Kakashi expectantly. "Kakashi Hatake." He bluntly said. Rin looked at him and smiled.

"I'm Rin Nohara." Rin said cheerfully.

They looked at [Name]. "My name is [Name][Clan Name]." She said and smiled warmly at everyone. Then their gazes focused on Obito.

"My name is Obito Uchiha! And one day I'm going to be the Hokage!" He exclaimed. Kakashi scoffed and rolled his eyes. The other three smiled at him.

"I'm glad someone shares the same dream as me." Minato said.

[Name] really liked her team so far. She's hoping to befriend Rin. She doesn't have a female friend and Rin is really nice.

"We have a special case here. There are four of you when usually there are only three. I think it is wonderful that we have an addition." Minato explained. He really didn't want any of them to feel odd or left out. He was really excited to work with them all.

The four of them just nodded.

"Okay! I want you four to take these two bells off of me." Minato said holding two bells.

"But, there are only two." Obito pointed out.

"I know."

'He wants us to use teamwork.' [Name] thought. She looked at Kakashi and they both gave each other a look confirming their thoughts.

"Alright." Minato said. "Let's begin."

They all distanced themselves from him. Kakashi explained that they needed to use teamwork. They decide to use a formation from the academy, not really sure if it would work.

They ended up getting the bells and passing. They were all exhausted. Minato smiled at them. He really liked his new team.

"Meet me here tomorrow at nine. We will train." He said.

"Yes, sensei." The four said.

"Does anyone wanna get dumplings with me??" Obito asked cheerfully.

[Name] raises her hand. "I do!" She grinned. Obito put his arm around her and they started walking. She blushed darkly and hoped Obito wouldn't notice her pink cheeks.

Kakashi was going to decline the offer but seeing [Name] go with him, annoyed him. "I'm coming too." He said lacking the enthusiasm that [Name] and Obito had. He quickly trailed behind them.

"I'll go too!" Rin said, matching pace with Kakashi.
