Skateboarding vs. My Girlfriend

Here I am standing in front of one of the biggest skate boarding competition ever and all I can do is think about my girlfriend and how she's spending her birthday all alone. How did it come to all of this? I had to choose... all my hard work and my best friends or my love. Damn why is it always me who's stuck in some SHIT!

1 month before

RING RING! Natsuki growled as the alarm on her bedside table rang. She looked up to see exactly what time it was. 9:48 the clock reed. Natsuki sat up fast making her head spin. Damn I need to get there on time or Mai will scream at me just like last time. Natsuki got up from her bed and straight into the bathroom. After she was done she put on her close which were blue basketball shorts with a red pole shirt.

She went back into the bathroom to retrieve her hairbrush and toothbrush. She then put the tooth pace on her toothbrush as she struggled trying to brush her blue-blackish hair. Once she was done with her struggle she grabbed a cup and rinsed out the remaining suds in her mouth with water. Natsuki walked out the bathroom and took 1 last glance at her alarm clock it reed 10:03.DAMN as long as I get there before 10:15 I should be good I think. Natsuki ran down the hallway before stopping to put her black converse on.

"Natsuki!" A voice called from the kitchen. Natsuki sighed, "Yes Farther!" she replied.

"Where do you think you're going without breakfast?" Said the strong voice of her farther, Takashi Kuga.

"Dad I'm not a kid I think I can go without breakfast today. Beside I'm going to the skate park and Mai always has breakfast ready for me cause she knows I always wake up late." She said as she finished putting on her shoes and grabbing her skateboard that was next to the door.

"Well then bye hon..." the slamming of the door interrupted him. He smiled at the door. "I love you too." He said sarcastically.

Natsuki dropped her skateboard on the ground, jumped on and started pushing it with her foot making it move. Better hurry up or I'll be dead by noon. As she continued her way down the block, she didn't notice the car that was leaving its drive way and nor did the drive notice the bluenette passing by.

As the driver pulled out it hit a lump with a Bang. The woman driver quickly got out her car as her light brown hair swayed in the wind as she ran to the back of her car. The woman was shocked when she saw a blue haired girl laying there. OH MY GOSH WHAT DO I DO SHE MIGHT BE HURT OR WORST! The brunette thought as she started panicking.

"Damn my back hurts" Mumbled the blue haired female.

The older women stared down at Natsuki with happiness in her crimson eyes. "Thank God you're alive!" The women got on her knees and hug Natsuki who was still lying on the ground stunted of had happened. Natsuki suddenly realized what was going on as she felt the woman embrace her harder. She quickly pushed the brunette of her. "What the hell is wrong with you? Did you do that on purpose?" Natsuki was anger was bubbling fast in Natsuki.

"Wait where is my skateboard?" Natsuki started to panick. That skateboard was her life.

Flashback

Natsuki entered the only flower shop fuka had with a frown on her face. She walked straight to the front desk were an old man stood with a smile on his face. "Hello how many I help you?" He asked politely. "I'm here for the job I saw you're hiring." The smile on his face turned to a straight face. "No!" Natsuki didn't understand what she did to be declined so fast. "Why I mean what did I do? "The man leaned over the counter slightly and said "I don't hire delinquents."

"What so by the way I dress you think I'm a delinquent?" She was wearing jeans, a short sleeve shirt that had FUCK EVERYTHING on the front and a middle finger on the back. Before he could answer she then said. "Ok forget it so my mom's jest gonna die. Every store I've gone into says the SHIT! Oh sorry you might scare away costumers. You dress like a weirdo." She continued to tell the old man about everything the employers said.

"They never gave me a chance they never gave my mom a chance DAMN!" Natsuki was now sitting on the floor. While the old man had closed up shop to listen to Natsuki stories about her mother, farther, her dead sister, everything. Natsuki didn't know why she did that; she just felt comfortable with the man.

"How much is the surgery?" he asked.

"$267, why you ask?" The man smiled at Natsuki. He went behind the desk to the cash register and took out $400 and gave it to Natsuki. "Here"

"No way I can't let you do this. Just give me the job. "She tried to put the money back in the man's hands. But he pulled away. "Ok you can give me the money back." Natsuki tried again to put the money in his hands but once again he pulled back. "No No tomorrow I'll talk the money back. 1st you pay for your pay mom's surgery. Then you go buy yourself a skateboard the best one and the remaining money you bring back tomorrow when you report for work." He saw the light in her eyes shine.

Natsuki stood up and saluted the man. "OF COURSE THANK YOU SIR!" She ran out the store and ran home as fast as she could.

The next day Natsuki returned with the money and skateboard in her hands. "Oh what a nice Skateboard what's it appropriate work attire on, a white shirt and khaki pants. "Ripple but I've named it Duran after you old man." And after that day Natsuki kept the skateboard close to her heart and had a bunch of respect to the man.

End Flashback

Natsuki started to panic. She turned her head to the street and saw the skateboard rolling slowly more into the road. Natsuki jumped on her feet and ran as fast as she could to get to it before a car ran over it. As she reached for it a car came into view. HOLY SHIT. Natsuki thoughtas she prepared to get hit something pulled her back. What the fuck it's that lady who almost killed me. She opened her eyes to see her skateboard in her hands, alright and ready to ride again. The bluenette turned her head to face the other woman.

"Thank you you saved me AFTER you tried to kill me." The brown hair woman let go of the younger girl. "No problem Miss…"

"Kuga Natsuki" Natsuki replied quietly

"Ara What a lovely name. My name Shizuru Fujino." The woman tone sounding much calmer than she was a couple of minutes ago.

"I need to go I'm already late." Natsuki said trying to ignore what the brunette said as she blushed lightly.

"I could give you a ride" Shizuru said sweetly as she went back to her car and opened the passenger door.

"No I barley know you I'd rather get hit by another car then ride with you." Natsuki didn't wait for Shizuru to reply before she hoped back on her skateboard and pushed herself as fast as she could to get away from the woman. Damn that woman I hope I never see her again but that's probly impossible because we live on the same street. I wonder what time it is it might be already 11:00. Damn woman.

At The Skate Park

Mai was furious. Everyone was there on time except for the blue haired girl. Just when Mai was about to pull her hair out, Natsuki showed up out of breath for she had been skating nonstop since she ran away from Shizuru.

Before she could even catch her breath her best friend start to give her a speech about how it was improper to have people waiting for her. She was the leader after all. "How dare you show up 47 minutes la-..mhff" Natsuki put her hand of her friend's mouth to quite her for a second.

"Can I fucking explain first before you go ape shit on me." Natsuki said still trying to catch her breath. "Fine so what's your excuse for being super late Mutt?" Nao Yukki her mortal enemy/cousin asked.

"Well I got hit by a car and the almost got hit by another one" Everyone's mouths' opened and touched the floor.

"Wow what an excuse!" Nao said.
