Hey everyone, heres the third chapter of the Blue Road. Sorry it took so long to update, had ACT & MME testing this week


On matters of style, swim with the current, on matters of principle, stand like a rock.

~Thomas Jefferson

Blue, Sky blue, Indigo, robin blue, all of these colors were being rippled by me.

*Slam*

"Huff, pant, huff"

Trying to catch my breath, against the wall, I closed my eyes and thought of her, the reason why I'm swimming. Practice was over; all of the Konoha's swimmers were getting ready to leave.

"Too much for you to handle, pinky?"

I opened my eyes and looked into onyx eyes and scowled

"No it wasn't Uchiha, besides why do you even care"

He glared at me and pulled himself out of the pool and walked away without a word. This was how I spent the past two hours; we exchanged insults and expressed our dislike for each other.

"Can you believe her? Thinking that she can waltz right in and be in the same lane as Sasuke-kun"

"I know! I mean seriously, I've been working so hard to have him look at me just once! But no, this pink haired bitch just comes in!"

I gritted my teeth together and pulled myself out of the pool and stalked over to my bag, leaving them to whisper some more shit about me. I yanked my cap and goggles off and crammed them into my bag. My pink hair sprawled around my face, water droplets swimming down my body as I wrapped my towel around me.

I swung my bag on my shoulders and grabbed my keys off the floor and made my way to the door. Before I went out I turned to the three bitches, who by the way were conveniently by the door

"The reason your dear Sasuke-Kun doesn't pay attention is because you're all annoying as fuck and don't care about swimming and just use this time to flaunt, Unlike the rest of us who are dedicated."

Expressions………priceless

With that I walked out, my flip flops squeaking against the floor making duck noises.

"Are you freaking kidding me?"

I spun around, this is just great. I'm lost ……again!

"Pinky"

I jerked my head towards the sound and saw Uchiha standing there, water droplets hanging off the ends of his hair. I scowled; I so don't need this right now

"What"

I growled and he smirked and started walking away down a hall. I stared after him gapping after him. Not knowing what else to do I followed him, staying a few feet behind him. He led us all the way to the parking lot

"Yes!"

I started running towards my baby, but threw a thanks over my shoulder to the Uchiha walking towards his car. I opened the door, threw my bag in the passenger seat and backed up. I cranked up the stereo and drove away. I glanced at Uchiha who was smirking…..SMIRKING! I tighten my hands on the wheel, I'm gonna kill him.

I turned on the radio and let the music fill my car. I sighed as I stopped at a red light

"Ok I can go home or…..oh shit"

I looked at the clock 2:15 …..

"Damnit" I swore again and quickly stepped on the gas as I saw red switch to green. I looked in my review mirror and made sure it was clear to switch lanes. I moved over and turned into a parking lot. I parked in a spot reserved for employees and cut the engine. I grabbed my swim bag swung it over my shoulder, locked the car and walked through the door welcoming you into The Hidden Leaf's Mall. Why they named it hidden leaf is a mystery to everyone. Ohh that's right, the owner of this mall lost the naming right in a game of poker…..

I walked into the restrooms, changed into a black plaid min skirt with red mixed into it and a crimson red tank top. I sat on the toilet switch my flip flops to converse and put my damp hair into a messy ponytail. I shoved my suit and sweats into my bag. I checked the time on my phone…

'Shit only 5 minutes to get there'

I walked out of the bathrooms, and let my feet carry me to my destination. I ignored guy's stares and their girlfriend's glares as I walked into Hot Topic.

"I swear I have no clue where she is Hannah!

Yes, she's working today…no I-"

I jumped over the counter by the flustered girl and grabbed the phone

"Hey Hannah"

I said casually while the girl stared at me

"WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU, YOU'RE LATE! YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO BE HERE AN HOUR AGO!"

I put the phone away from my ear and let her scream

"Technically, I'm not late because im here and my shift doesn't start till 2:30, and its 2:29"

I said looking at the clock, while the blue long hair girl covered her mouth trying not to be heard laughing

"STILL TH-"

"Whoops, sorry Hannah but I got a customer"

With a sing song voice I cut her off and hung up and looked at my friend who was now full out laughing

"You Saki, are so screwed when Hannah gets here later"

I smiled and took some shirts to put back on the shelf, as I walked away I turned around

"No Kin, I'm fucked"

With that I went over to the shirt section and I hear Kin laughing behind me.

"Let's see Owl City…..goes here…My Chemical Romance….. Goes here……Random Band ….goes here"

I put the shirts in their respective spot and went over to the CD rack. I pulled out all of the random CDs and sorted them……again. I went back over to the counter and saw a guy flirting with Kin.

"Hey baby, look don't make this hard just give me your number"

I giggled and went over to the back of the counter and got in. I wrapped my arm around kin's waist

"There you are baby! Sorry I'm late; some dude was trying to get my number. Apparently some people don't know when to stop"

Kin giggle

"It's okay Saki, I'm helping a customer"

We both looked at the guy

Blink….Blink…….

"Ahahahahahahhahaha"

We both let go of each other and laughed. Kin recovered and straightened up

"Omg! That was great! I think we are getting better in our act. Well anyways I'm going to go take my lunch break be back in 15 minutes"

She bent down and grabbed her purse and walked out the entrance into a sea of people passing by our store

"Excuse me, I like to buy this"

I sighed, so my day begins.

Ten people later, I'm done checking out and ringing up customers. I scan the store to make sure nobody was stealing anything or causing trouble.

I laughed at the mother trying to get her son to come in but he was too scared. The smile stayed on my face as I remembered my mother taking me to the park or taking me to school or shopping. My family was the typical perfect family until something tore us apart.

A tear made a path down my cheek. I reached up to brush it off but a different hand beat me to it. I looked up as the hand brushed away my tears, into onyx eyes

"Sasuke?!"

Startled I backed up, my eyes wide as he smirked

"What's up, pinky?"

Behind the counter, I growled at him

"What are you doing here Uchiha"

That stupid smirk still on his face as he made his way around the counter to the back.

"It's a local free mall, pinky. I can be here for no reason."

I gapped at him. Not only does this guy have a god like body but his attitude sucks.

"Look mister arrogant, I'm busy so go bothersome one else"

I snapped at him. He just smirked and came closer to me

"You want me to go away right?"

Unconsciously I was backing up until my back hit the register

"Yes"

I whispered

"Then make me"

He grabbed me by my waist and pulled my closer to him. He crashed his mouth on top of mine, dominating it with a rough force. I kissed back with the same amount of force

'What am I doing?'

Sasuke pulled back, his breath ragged. He brought his thumb up to his lips and wiped the bottom of his lip and smirked

"Later pinky"

With that he exited the counter area and walked out of the store. He pushed by Kin

"Hey Sak, whoa…what happen to you? You look like you just got done running three miles"

I blushed and muttered nothing under my breath. I grabbed my wallet

"I'm taking my lunch break"

I walked out of the store and went to the food court. The scene of Sasuke kissing me replaying in my mind over and over again. I stood behind bushes looking at the different food stores to choose from.

'Hmmmmm….. Maybe some panda express or taco bell…… yeah taco bell sounds-'

"Hahahahaha I can't believe you did that Teme!"

A loud voice came from the other side of the bush

"Shut up Dobe"

A voice hissed…it…it sounded like Uchiha's voice

"Come Teme you just kissed Haruno!"

"No shit Dobe…Now give me my money"

"Alright, Alright. Don't get your panties in a twist Teme. Here"

"Hn."

"I still can't believe you just walked in and kissed her. That's the last time I ever make a bet like that again"

My blood ran cold…….bet?...

"So anyway Teme, now what are you gonna do? She probably thinks you like her!"

"Tch, nothing"

"Wah?"

"If she thinks something else is gonna happen then she's wrong Dobe. After all it's just a bet"

"If you say so Teme"

"HEY! DON'T WALK WAY FROM ME! TEMMEE!"

'A bet?'

My whole body felt like it's been stabbed. I couldn't move, I felt my eyes start to water

'Why? Why does Uchiha have this kind of effect on me1 I barely know him!............a bet……..'

"Just like last time huh"

My voice cracked as I slowly made my way back to Hot Topic. Lunch was out of the question now. I walked through the entrance and saw Hannah arguing with Kin.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN SHE WENT ON HER LUNCH BREAK?!?!"

Hannah snarled

Kin shrugged and was about to answer but she saw me. She smiled but then it was gone as she took in my appearance. My face was red and tears threaten to spill but I blinked them back

"What are you-……..Sakura?"

Hannah looked were Kin was staring at and saw me.

I eyes stayed glued to the floor but slowly made their way up into the shocked faces of my Boss and Co worker

I smiled

"A bet"

My form quivered as I finally let a sob escaped from my lips


Hoped you liked it
