A/N- Thanks to all of my readers. If it wasn't for you I'd totally lose my ideas for this story. But for now I've got a steady flow. I wanted to say sorry for chapter 2, its all in italics and I have no idea why since I didn't put it that way. I'll try to change it, but I'm still so new to this site, I'm kind f confused how. So if any of you know how I would change that, I'd really like to now. Okay, so here we go!

Ch.3 Girlfriends
Quote: "If you love something, let it go. If it comes back to you, its yours forever. If it doesn't, then it was never meant to be."
"Make it quick." I said to him and glanced at Ino with an appreciative smile, "I'm hanging with Ino."
"Your mad, aren't you." He sighed. "Look Saki-"
"Its Sakura." I interrupted, and I didn't need Ino's lines to do it.
"Okay...Sakura. I think I made a really big mistake."
Ino made a show of shoving her finger down her throat and my mom had to cup her hand over her mouth to keep from giggling.
"Oh." Was I could say. And Ino scribbled on the note pad real fast before turning it over so I could see. Quickly I read it over and playfully patted Ino on the head.
"To say you made a big mistake is an understatement Kiba." It read.
"I know, I know." He said. "It was a huge lapse of judgment."
"Lapse of judgment?" Ino scoffed and rolled her eyes while she scribbled on the notepad. Good thing she was used to writing notes at lightning speed or Kiba would have noticed the time it took me to reply.
"I'd say. Now if your done I'm getting off."
"Sakura I know your mad, but I'm going to make it up to you."
"Don't bother." Ino mouthed, she obviously was sick of the notepad and wanted to go a different way.
"Please Saki-"
"Kiba you have no right to call me that anymore." I shot back at him. Ino's lines were helpful, yes, but I had some things of my own to say to him. And mom's proud expression gave me the push I needed.
"Yeah sorry about that, I forgot." He muttered.
"Bull." I growled. "Now listen to me Kiba, and listen good because I'm not going to say it again." Ino seemed to be enjoying this more than I was. She was dancing on the tips of her feet like before and I knew if I wasn't on speaker phone she would be squealing her head off. Mom tilted her head to the side and smiled warmly at me, probably remembering a time in her life when she said the exact same thing.
"When we're in class, don't look at me. When we pass in the halls, don't talk to me. Because we are through." I pressed the End button on the phone and before I knew it I was being squeezed to death by the prettiest blonde in the world.
"Saki!" Ino squealed. "You handled that perfectly!"
I laughed and pried her arms from around my body. "And I'm not done there."
Mom watched as Ino and I shared a secret glance. "Okay girls, I'm a bit confused."
"Don't worry about it Mrs. Haruno. I don't either." Ino lied.
We headed up the stairs two at a time and whispered in hushed tones.
"Pink covers?"
"Fuck yes."

I wondered down the hair dye isle but wasn't really looking. No, my thoughts were elsewhere. Like what was Kiba doing right now? Was he regretting our break up even more. Or did had he just thought 'NEXT' and moved on. My lips pulled into a frown.
"Breaking up sucks." An old fragile voice said and I swirled around only to come face to face with a petite elderly woman with puffy white hair and a gleam in her eyes that looked nowhere near old.
"I'm sorry?" I asked, maybe I had just imagined it. Then why was she looking right at me?
"You heard me dear." She chuckled.
"Well yeah but-" I fidgeted on the tips of my feet uneasily. "How did you know?"
She shrugged and I found that I had to look down at her. Which was rare, I usually had to look up. Can't say I missed it.
"It's all over your face. But don't worry fruitcake. You'll find a new hunk soon."
Hunk…?
Fruitcake…?
I was about to say something back, anything would do. This woman was easy to talk to, I didn't know her well, but I knew that much. But before I could say anything, chimes went off at the front door and 'Old lady who's name I never learned' winked at me before heading back up front to greet the new customer.
I walked farther down the isle, silently laughing to myself, until I got to the far back. There, all up the walls her posters of pop stars with their hair colored and dyed all shades of colors. I never really thought I'd ever be in this part of the store. Not since I convinced myself to become gothic for Kiba. But this is where the Pink hair dye was. Now all that was left to decide was what shade of pink I wanted.
Decisions Decisions……
"Oh! And speaking of hunks!" I heard the old lady say up in front and a smile painted my face. I really would have to come by more often.
"Hello grandma." A deeper voice replied and I stole a glance behind my shoulders to see who it belonged to. Only I wasn't ready for what I was about to see. I mean if someone told me I would be dieing today…I would probably freak.
But right before my eyes stood one hell of an angel.

The only thing I could really focus on was my heart beat. It was all I could hear.
"So what are you doing here Sasuke." Lady asked her grandson. I wasn't looking at them any more. The moment I did, I turned back around as fast as I could. Why? I couldn't tell you that. How could I when I didn't know myself.
All I knew was that his face, even from the side view, was gorgeous. It twisted my insides and suddenly I was a little eight year old again. The shy little Sakura Haruno who couldn't look any one in their eyes without stuttering. I thought I grew out of that stage. I guess I was wrong. Because this…Sasuke brought it rushing back so fast I couldn't catch my breath.
Sasuke….I loved that name. It sounded so noble and strong. Like a warrior.
I stared at Avril Lavigne's picture on the wall, with a pink streak down her bangs. But really all I saw was Sasuke.
"Why do you sound so surprised grandma." Sasuke chuckled and I found that I was smiling along with him. My back was to him, but I could already see it. His eyes lit up from a coal black to a dark blue and the entire room brightened up by so much. All because he smiled.
"Well you've been here for a week or so right? I figured if you haven't visited me yet then you never would." I stole another glance over my shoulder and watched as his grandmother crossed one foot behind the other and dared him to come up with a descent excuse.
"Well to be honest I didn't come here for the soul purpose of seeing you again."
Grandma, lifted her head and let out a laugh. Completely ignoring Sasuke's tone. "Why am I not surprised." She muttered. "But then why are you here Sasu'?"
I could tell Sasuke didn't like this new nickname she gave him. But to be honest, I absolutely loved it. It didn't fit him at all, no of course not. Sasu' was a name for a baby boy, and Sasuke was all man. But still, I like the way it felt as I whispered it to myself.
"I'm here for some black hair dye." He sighed.
"Aw." Grandma nodded, "For one of your girlfriends I presume."
My jaw dropped at grandma's comment. Girlfriends? As in more than one? Oh goddess, what did I get myself into?
