I Got Hots For My Rival~ Itachi Modern AU [NWA Winter'14 1st Place] REVISED

Chapter 8

~

~Anna's POV~

"PE, hmmm...."

"Stop it. You sound like Deidara." Konan said when we went to the lockers to change into our PE uniforms. I had it stuffed in my bag so I took it out and spread it to see how it was.

"Ne, Konan." I got my friend's attention with an extremely straight face, quite rare for me.

"Yes?"

"WHY THE HECK IS THIS UNIFORM SO EXPOSING?!" I yelled, red with embarrassment even though I still had to put on those extremely short shorts. Every girl in the locker room heard me and most started laughing, including Konan.

"You can keep the leggings on, Gai-sensei won't mind." I sighed.

"Fine..."

So I put on the half-sleeved white PE shirt and the shorts, tied my hair back but some short ones still fell on my face. Ugh. Darn hair.

"You look a beauty." Konan commented.

"You look like you are enjoying. Oh wait, some visual please for Yahiko I suppose." I replied, and grinned watching her fume.

When I entered the grounds for today's PE, I saw a bunch of students surrounding a man in a green spandex and the huge-est eyebrows I had ever seen. Apparently I was the only one in the whole class who had an issue with showing too much skin since I later put on some sleeves too and this didn't go unnoticed by the teacher as he dragged me to the middle of the crowd and looped his arm around my neck.

"Have you all been nice to your new youthful classfellow?!" He yelled. Oh God.

Everybody was looking at me and I felt self-conscious all of a sudden so I quickly got out of the teacher's grip and made my way to the back where Konan was, giggling.

"As much as I don't mind being with guys, he is creeping me out." I said, shuddering.

"MY YOUTHFUL STUDENTS!! TODAY WE WILL BE...." He trailed in the end to create suspense and all the while I was wishing in my heart that it would be something that I could enjoy and not be made to sit back because of my pathetic weakness. "A... TWO HUNDRED METER RACEEEEE!!!!!"

I am screwed.

Konan looked at me worriedly, she knew this sport was something I wasn't able to do anymore. I smiled at her weakly, getting my medical prescription out my pockets.

"I am going to go and show this to him to sit this one out." I told her and started to walk but Konan decided to accompany me.

"He doesn't listen to students when they try to do this." She informed me.

"But I have a legit reason right here."

"Hmm. I know so he should let you."

We stopped a step away from Gai-sensei when he was busy searching with his eagle-eyes for potential candidates.

"Um, excuse me sensei but-" He cut me off and turned to me.

"Hmm? You want to volunteer?" He laughed in joy. "Ah! Youth is such a beautiful thing!!"

"Umm...thats not-"

"OK NEW GIRL! ON THE TRACK!"

"HUH?!" Konan and I exclaimed simultaneously when he pushed me on the track. I protested all the while but he wasn't listening.

"UCHIHA! GET HERE ON THE METERED PATH OF YOUTH!!"

The moment he chose Itachi as my race contender, I forgot everything I was told not to do to worsen my situation. When Itachi stepped on the path beside me, some spark went through me and I knew despite my weakness, I had to run.
