// Chapter 2 //

You get up earlier than usual. You grab your uniform that was already set on your desk. You change fast but yet slow, thinking if yesterday was just a dream or real.

You look at yourself in the mirror. You had your hair tied up but it made you look no different. Why? You asked yourself that every day for no reason. You untie your ponytail, you decided to give yourself a new look. Then, you look at your feet, you wished you would be able to wear pants to school instead of Skirts.

What a pain! You grab your skateboard that was on the side of your bed, and your backpack that was on top of your desk. Before you get out you look at yourself in the mirror one last time. You finally get out of there.

You run down the stairs and see your shake is already there on the table. You're about to grab your shake when you fall crashing to the floor getting killed by your 3-year-old sister. She even decided it was a great idea to start jumping on you.

"Aki! You're going to end up killing me if you don't stop jumping!" She giggles, finally getting off of you. You get up, pick up your skateboard that got out of your hand when Aki jumped on you. You finally get to the table and get your shake, you finally leave off to school.

You start to skate your usual way to school. As you skate away from home to school to drink up your shake. You took your time to get there. You loved how the air would move around your hair in the wind, it cooled you down.

You finally get to school, you enter class. Reki and Langa still weren't there. You get to your desk and take your Ipad that you drew when you were bored.

You had no idea what it was exactly that you were drawing until Langa gets there and asks you, "What is that?"

You look up at him then look back at what it was you were drawing. "Oh, I have no idea! They're just lines I drew and yet I have no idea what it was I was drawing. So, yeah there you go." You look up at him.

"Well, that sunset sure does look amazing. I never knew you could draw like that," He smiles at you. You just scratch the back of your head and give him a big smile for no reason.

"Y/n?" He asked with a low voice and shaky.

"Yeah what's up?" You look back at your sunset and think for some final touches.

You look up at Langa, you put your hand on your face, and smile. "So, are you and Reki... dating?" You blink a lot of times at him wondering if you heard correctly. You could feel your heart beating faster by the second.

"Huh?" You're still blinking your eyes from shock and scared as well, "Wait, what did you say?"

Reki finally gets to school and see's both of you guys talking. He goes up to you guys and stands by Langa without saying a word.

"I asked if both you and reki were dating," he said it so calmly which bothered you.

Both Reki and you turn red, As to you noticing that Reki was actually there when Langa asked. You guys look at each other and blink uncontrollably. Finally, Reki answers Langa.

"Yeah, we are," He turns toward Langa.

You were still staring at Reki and your face still as red as ever. You finally realize that yesterday was not a dream but actually true. You turn to Langa and you ask him, "Why you ask?" Your voice was scared as ever.

He blinks twice, "After both of you guys got your skateboards, you acted so weird but not necessarily different than your normal selves. You guys seemed more closer," He said so calmly.

Reki looks at you and you look back at him. After a while, you guys look at Langa and start bursting out of laughter.

"What's so funny?"

"Oh, your poor child! Your just too hilarious," you respond to Langa

"How?!"

"You just are."

// Lunch //

Usually, during Lunch, you always speed it with Reki but today was different.

You had to meet up with some friends from a different class to "talk". So you meet with them on the roof.

"So, Reki...is he seeing anyone?" Asked the girl named Ichika.

You feel a chill go up your spine making you shiver. You turn around and see it's Reki. Oh, God! Please save me from this! You begged. He smiles at you and slightly behind you can see Langa standing there.

"Yo! What are you doing here?" Reki asked you

"Oh," You pointed to the girls in front of you that were asking if they could date your boyfriends without saying it, "What about you? Wait, don't you have to explain to him about the Job..." You raise your brows to show what you meant.

"Oh, he's showing me," Langa giggles.

"If you need me to slap him for you, you know where I am," You take a look about at the group of girls behind you and see they're slightly annoyed, "Oh, I better get back at this. You guys do you, I'll meet you guys in class."

You turn around to them. Slightly? Nope, not slightly. They're irritated. You take a look around and give them such a fake smile.

"Anyways, I'm sorry about that. So where we're we?" You clap her hands softly.

"Why didn't you tell us you were friends with Langa," Yup Ichika sure is getting more irritated by the second.

"Oh, Me and Reki bumped into him yesterday and now we're all working together. Technically Langa still not working officially but if he passes this test he will."

"Okay, then where do you work? I'm going to apply there," Oh what a BRAT!

"You can't!" You give her a smile and blink twice, "Not everyone can work there and you know absolutely nothing about Skateboards, you don't even know how to build one or at least ride one. I mean there are some exceptions like Langa but he will learn, not like you. So, if we're done here I'm going to go," You're about to grab your lunch.

"No! Wait!" She yells as if your about to run from her life and she'll regret it if she never sees you again, so you sit back down.

"I'm listening. You better make it quick these are a pain," You say rolling your eyes.

"I'm actually serious. I've like Reki since I was a First-year and... I've just never been able to get near him," You could feel like she was bout to say something more. You felt bad, she had the courage to tell you this, making her look like a fool.

"Don't say another word, I can't take it anymore. You're making yourself look like a fool in front of me," You look down at your hands. You were so close to ripping them off, "I can't stand it. You're making a fool of yourself. I'm not trying to tell you anything with this, it's just... Me and Reki Started dating yesterday and you coming to me to get with him... It bothers me and annoys me. Langa's my friend and I doubt he'd want to be with anyone. I'm sorry," You get up, you couldn't stand being there anymore.

You see Reki and Langa were still up on the roof. You were going to leave to the classroom but ended up going toward them instead. As you walk past the girls from your other class, they stare at you without hatred but with hatred.

You reach Langa and Reki, you sit next to Reki and try to understand what it was they were talking about until they finally notice you were there. They stare at you for about 10 seconds making you uncomfortable.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" You ask with a squeaky voice.

"We're trying to figure you out. Don't move," Lanha responded to you with a goofy straight voice.

"Um...What exactly?"

"Okay, that's all we need," Reki turns to Langa, "Did you notice anything? You find anything out?"

You look at both of them confused.

"Let me see!" Langa winders and wonders, "I got it! I found... It was... I got...," He looks at you them Reki, " I found... about... nothing," He said with a sad voice.

Reki outs his hands-on Lnaga's shoulder, "Langa... you are a disappointment to your sensei."

"Well, Reki... If one of you does not tell me what the hell you guys are talking about I'm going to throw you off this roof, so chose," You open your eyes wide enough for them to hear you and give them a big smile.

"It was Reki's Idea," Langa said putting his hands up acting all innocent.

"Well, Langa you sure are in for a big surprise. I don't want to know who's idea it was, more like WHAT THE IDEA WAS! So, who is it going to be."

Out of nowhere, you could feel someone grabbing you around your waist. You look down and get scared for some reason. You turn and see it was Reki.

"Reki?"

"Yes...?"

"What are you doing," Your face kept getting hotter by the second.

"I'm hugging you, and it's really warm."

"Whatever," You start to play with his hair. It sure is soft.

"Oh, Langa?"

"Yea?"

"You can take both of us right?"

"Does that mean I can go?!" Reki burst. He's face full of life.

"Reki, I'm still thinking about it," You turn back to Langa, "So, can you?"

"I'm pretty sure that's impossible."

"Ok, then we'll figure something out but you're taking Reki."

// That Night //

"Reki hurry up!! If you don't hurry I'm going to leave without you!" You scream to Reki that was getting all his things together to finally head out.

"I know that!" He grabs his bags and rushes out of there. You get on your skateboard and try to go as fast as possible. Langa was still behind with Reki.

By the time you got there the gate was already open. Before you were able to go in they had to make sure you had the S sticker. 7 minutes left. They have to hurry. You didn't have the skateboard Reki did, so this was bad if they don't get here in time... 5 more minutes. You look back and see Reki and Langa finally got there. Yes! They made it!

Reki was too fast to apologize. The man couldn't care less about what he had to say. He quickly snatched the bag in Reki's hand and looked in. Reki what have you done! You slap your face. Even Reki was shocked when he looked at the skateboard. It was his! Reki's skateboard!

"Reki! You grabbed the wrong bag?!"

"I screwed up!" It looked like Reki wanted to die on the spot which almost made you lose it.

The consumer gets angry and throws the board to the floor. Shit. What have we done? Afterward, Reki is the one getting angry. He worked so hard for his board and now they we're throwing it out like it was some garbage.

Langa looks away to where the board was thrown. He stares at it.

Reki gets his act together, he was talking to the customer! The customer!

Reki bows down and apologizes "I'm sorry! I'll go get it right away!"

"There's no way you'd make it in time," You froze, "It starts at midnight."

Both you and Reki were mad, "Shadow!" You said his name with such hated as so did Reki.

Shadow was buff, but he looked like a clown. He was a bully and a jerk. He thought he was better than anyone else around, acting all mighty.

"Today's bet is the right to give the opponent any tattoo you want," He continued to speak his mouth. He walks past you guys like he owns the place, "I'll have them write it right above your chick's name... 'Dumpster Slut'!"

The customer then points to Reki, "Y-you skate this one!" That little...

As always, Reki creeps out.

"In the first place, this is all your fault! Own up to it and go skate it yourself!" Is he blind or is he just stupid!

"W-Well, that's m-"

"Shut up Reki!" You turn to the customer, "Are you that blind! Can't you see that first of all he's injured, he can't skate. Second of all he still hasn't been able to repair his skateboard. So how exactly do you expect him to skate this one for you!" You we're pissed.

"I don't care which one of you it is," Shadow grabs Reki's hand the same one HE injured, "It might be fun to take this arm and bust it for good."

Reki pushes shadow off, "What? Langa, get me the scissors from the toolbox-"

"Reki are you an idiot! It's fine I'll ride this on-"

You both look at Langa. What the hell is he doing?! Langa decided to take matters into his own hand. He found tape somewhere and duck taped his feet on Reki's skateboard. Oh, hell Nah! He didn't even bother to tape them to at least your skateboard.

"What the hell are you doing!?" Reki and You scream at the same time.

"I thought I'd skate," He says with a straight face.

"Huh??? You weren't able to skate at all!" Reki Screams at him

"First of all, what's with the duct tape?!" You scream after.

"If I don't do this, it'll fall off under my feet and it'll be dangerous," Again with a straight face.

"The opposite is true, idiot! Like that, you'll get totally bruised up when you bail!" I highly think you can change his mind Reki, "Plus, Y/n said she'd do it! And she even has a skateboard!"

"I'll be fine," Once more with a straight face, "Probably," This time he didn't say this in a straight face.

"Probably? You know..." He didn't get to finish his thought.

"Which of you will skate? I don't mind all three of you at once!" So Cocky.

"This guy's no good! I'll do it!"

"But Reki your Injured! Just like y/n said you can't!"

"Shut up both of you! I got this, plus I actually got aboard with me here, you know," They were so lost they look at each other. They completely forgot about you, " Yes Reki's Injured so he can't do it. Langa is a complete idiot and won't stand a chance, unlike you guys I can actually skate this one."

"No," Why won't he listen.

Someone was behind Langa, offering their hand to them.

"He'll be the one skating."

"Cherry?! No way!" You scream.

"The Al Skater!" Said the customer helping out Reki in a way.

"Cherry Blossom?"

"Yes, you idiot!" He was your all time idle. Yo loved him.

Langa looks at Cherry Blossom a bit more. He looks shocked.

"Even an amateur, if he gets on a board here, he has to skate. That's the rule," Cherry Blossom Begins.

"Hey, that's it! It's absolutely impossible!" Reki tries to stop Langa the best he can, "It won't just be broken bones, you know!" Langa's just ignoring him, "Are you listening?"

"You'll never know unless you try," Langa responds to him, not answering his question.

"I do know! First off you're-" He gets cut off by guard or so picking Reki up.

As Reki is being taken aways you look at him, "Reki, you know they're right. just let him try. If I wasn't able to convince him to let me skate he sure won't let you convince him."

Langa gets in line to begin. You could hear the countdown starts. You were nervous. It began.
