Sparks Fly

Chapter 1

Hinata couldn't remember the last time she didn't have to wear makeup or spend five minutes deciding on the most sophisticated outfit for a morning meeting.

Up in this neck of the woods, what you wore was something most people didn't care about.  There were, of course, rules for the camp staff who mostly wore the same colour of clothing, and obviously, when you were working out in the field, you had to wear the appropriate fire retardant coveralls, hard hat, and PPE (Personal Protection Equipment).  She missed being in the Industrial environment and wearing comfortable clothes while working twelve-hour days.  However, as a female worker, Hinata also knew she had to choose her clothes wisely.  Wearing something too tight or too low cut was bound to bring unwanted attention, and while the men around her would not say anything about it, it was pretty evident what they were thinking.

Slipping on a pair of jeans and a sweatshirt, Hinata made sure her small personal room was courteously tidy so the housekeepers could move around quickly.  The room wasn't vast but cozy enough to call your home for the next 9 days, which contained a twin bed to sleep on, a desk in front of the window for your computer, a tall closet, sink, and your private bathroom.  Although some rooms had jack and jill bathrooms.

After putting her long hair up in a high ponytail, she peeked out into the hallway. There was no one to be seen, but at 4:30am, that was the norm, and most people wouldn't be waking up until 5am.  However, if you wanted to grab the best fresh food for your lunches, getting up early was absolutely worth it.  Slippered feet padded softly down the long hallway, her violet eyes glancing at the odd door sign indicating if someone was sick or working the night shift.

Just as she was nearing the end, the door suddenly opened on the very first room to her right.  Instead of another female stepping out, which was expected since it was the women's wing, a tall man with black hair almost bumped into her as he walked quickly out of the room.  They swiftly danced around each other to avoid a collision; however, Hinata couldn't help but gasp when she immediately recognized the male intruder.  His dark eyes narrowed slightly when he looked at her, but before either of them could say a word, the door opened again.

"Sasuke, what's the rush?  No one is even . . ."

This time a woman did come out of the room, but she stopped whispering when she noticed Hinata.  Her pink hair was wet from just having a shower, and now that Hinata was looking more closely, it was hard not to see that the male companion's hair was also damp.  The couple's cheeks were red, and they were staring at her in disbelief.

Hinata felt a blush spread across her face but tried to defuse the embarrassing predicament by saying, "G-Good morning Sasuke and Sakura.  Heading off to breakfast too?"

Sasuke Uchiha.  He had been the class heartthrob during their time at electrical school.  He was very quiet, but anything he touched was done perfectly with no mistakes. However, he was also a hard worker.  Hinata had never seen him slack off, which showed since he was usually one of the students with the highest grades.  She was not blind as to why other girls found him attractive, but personally, he was not her type.  It was not a rare occurrence to see a swoon of women following him.

Then there was Sakura Haruno.  She had also been in her class and had a crush on Sasuke since she could remember.  Hinata mentally congratulated the pink-haired woman for getting the man of her dreams . . . or so she hoped.  Up here in the camp life, sometimes a situation like this could be seen as a booty call.
