Chapter 4

Lee, Ayame, and Sakura were standing under the shade of a large tree, waiting for the rest of their group before they could walk to school.

Suddenly Lee shot upright. "NARUTO! HINATA-CHAAAAAAAAAN!"

Naruto flinched from the loud volume as he joined his friends. "Hey guys. Ready to go?"

Ayame and Sakura nodded and started walking with Naruto while Lee tried unsuccessfully to talk to Hinata, who just ignored him.

As they were walking down the road Lee's eyes suddenly shot open. "I got it! We should all go the beach this summer!"

Naruto arched an eyebrow. "The beach?"

Sakura put her hands on her hips. "And let me guess, you will want us to all play beach volleyball right?"

Lee took a step back. "H-How did you figure out my secret plan?"

Ayame chuckled. "I can already see you snapping away with your digital camera."

Lee looked down at his feet. "I-I-I would never…"

Sakura walked up to Lee and narrowed her eyes. "I already know what your real aim is anyway…"

Lee's eyes widened. "Y-You do?"

Ayame suddenly appeared between them with her arm raised high. "Who wants to see Hinata-chan in a swimsuit!?"

Lee's face became serious and his arm extended straight up in the air. "ME!"

There was an awkward silence.

Lee slowly lowered his hand. "…Oh…"

Ayame was giggling, Sakura was glaring at him, Hinata looked bored, and Naruto was… blushing?

Hinata turned away from him. "Perv."

Lee fell to his knees. "NOOOOO! This arm acted on its own… betrayed by my own body!"

Everyone shook their heads and kept walking towards school.
