Snowboarding Bet

Snowboarding Bet

Yesterday:

“Come on, Sasuke.” Neji cheered with his hands clad together as he watched Sasuke snowboard down the mountain with his friends on the sideline. They both watched him zoom past them, he was faster then anyone on the mountain, he proved it time after time.

They were exactly five miles from the boarder line, which no one every cross before, who would go over there. The snow was mixed with dirt, oh yea, only poor people snowboard there.

So, no one dared going even two miles from the line, everyone thought they would some how get a disease just form breathing the smell of poor people.
--------------------------------------------------------------------

“8:32 P.M.” Sasuke said after he glanced at his wristwatch.

Gaara was still on the mountain, somewhere. They both finished, Sasuke won of course. Gaara didn’t care who won, he always go off on his own.

“Hey, you can head home. I wait for him.” Neij suggestive, because he knew Sasuke hates not going to bed before nine. When the first became friends he actuality laugh when he was told this. What sixteen-year-old goes to bed at nine? He had to admitment Sasuke was kind of boring, but hey being friends with him had its benefits, he learned some cool tricks and he even got better at snowboarding.

“Hn.” Was his reply, before turning and leaving.
--------------------------------------------------------------------

“Hey, Gaara!” Neji yelled, he slowly snowboards around tree after tree. He knew Gaara so he knew exactly where to find his, near the boarder line. Gaara sometimes crosses it to see what’s over there. Neji didn’t get him sometimes.

Neji slide to a stop, he reached the boarder line. Neij brought his hands up, molding them around his mouth to give his shout more distance.

“GAARA!”

Neji fell silence, he waited for an answer back but none ever come.

He sigh, he leaned down and un-strapping himself. He then picks up his white snowboard; he tucked it firmly under his arm. He then did the unthinkable he cross’s the line. This was his first time, he was curious to know if any of the rumors were true. He heard a lot but whenever he asks if that they had been over the line, he never did get an answer back.

Neji walks through two tall pine trees to a clearing, the snow looked pure white, he didn’t see a drop of dirt anywhere and the smell, it wasn’t the smell he heard of, in fact he took a deep breath, it smelled like it support to smell like.

“Neji?” A voice from behind asks.

He turned his head to look over his shoulder.

“There you are!” Neji closed his eyes and gave a wide smile to him.

“You crossed the line. I can’t believe it.” Gaara chuckled.

“Now I know why you always come over here, why didn’t you tell people about this?” Neji turn completely around.

Gaara shrug’s, “Because, no one would believe me.”

Neij opened his mouth to reply when he heard noises of a snowboarder coming towards him.

He turned around to see not one but three coming towards him.

“Well, well, well. What do we have here?”
--------------------------------------------------------------------


Walking through the village, he felt kind of bad since he left his friends, telling them he had to be there or else he be fired.

He works at the lodge, only at nights.

“Naruto.” A couple said as they walked pass him.

He nods to them.

Just then the streetlights come on, he looks up towards the post lamp and saw snowflakes begin to fall.

With the lights on you can make out what’s he’s wearing, black snow pants and an orange hoodie with his hands in the pockets of the hoodie.

Everything was calm and quietly, taking a deep breath then relishing it, he watches the stream of his warm breath blow into cold.

He began to walk again; he wasn’t that far, he could see the lodge.

He apposed the front door. He jerked it opened, hearing the bells that was hanging from the inside handle.

He stomped his feet on the mat to get rid of the snow and vicious shakes his head, he stop shaking and watch the flakes fall.

“You made it.”

Naruto looked up and over to see his boss, Jiraiya, he had on a fannel shirt with his fists on his hips, smiling at him.

“Where did you get those threads at?”

“What, you don’t like?”

Naruto didn’t even hesitate by shaking his head.

“Don’t hate the players gear, man.”

Naruto raised his eyebrow, “Stay off the compute, alright.”
“Aren’t you supposed to be somewhere?”

“Yea, I do have to go to a party.” He then giggled.

“I didn’t know the senior citizens were having a party.” Naruto muttered. He hopes that wasn’t heard.

“Huh?”

“Nothing. Well you better get going.” Naruto closed his eyes and gave a wide smile; showing off his pearl white teethes.

Jiraiya shrugs he then grabs the nearness cologne from the shafts, he poured out a generous amount before putting the bottle back. He then rubs it around his neck. He then grab his brown jacket that was on the counter behind him, folded it over his arm, walking to the front door. He opened the door with his jacket-covered arm; he then rubs his hand on top of Naruto’s head, and he then left.

OH.MY.GOD. The smell. Naruto couldn’t breathed and wants worse it was on him.

He speed walks over to the counter side where there was a window, he jerked the window opened. He leaned out to far; he couldn’t fell the floor anymore. He was balancing on his mid-section. He really needed air.

Naruto was taking deep even breaths. He smiled to himself.

He heard someone clear their throat; Naruto turned his head to the front outside door.

He nervously laugh, Jiraiya was watching him.

Naruto grab the frame, pulling himself back in, how embarrassing.

He left the window opened, Naruto moved behind the counter, sitting on the stool, and waiting for closing time.
--------------------------------------------------------------------

“What are you rich kids doing here?” Kiba said meanly.

“Nothing.” Neji replied as he stared at them, it was his first time seeing poor people.

“Doesn’t look like nothing,” Shikamaru said as he bent down to un-strap himself from his blue snowboard, showing the picture underneath. White clouds scattered all across his snowboard at the top were words that said, ‘clouds.’ At the bottom were more words that said, ‘watcher.’

Neij thought to himself for only a second.

“There is something you can do for us.” Neji shifted forward.

All three raised their eyebrows.

“Who’s better out of you three?” he had an ideal and he knew Gaara would love it.

Snorting, “Naruto, no one can beat him.” Kiba replied proudly.

“Really and which one of you is Naruto?”

“Oh no, he’s not here.” Shikamaru said.

Shikamaru didn’t like this; these two were up to something but what?

“How about we make a bet, your friend against yours.”

TBC.

*Sigh* Ok so I made Neji cheerful person, I think seeing him like that is funny. I was thinking about Neij and Gaara well you know (get together). Oh and I don’t really know who’s going to win? I got one vote for Naruto, more votes would help.
