~Your POV:~
It was the night of Langa's beef with Adam. I was nervous for him. Adam can be extremely reckless when he skated. Entrances you into his dangerous dances just for his charade or 'love'. Just so he can find his Eve and eat the fruits of wisdom with them. I was his Eve once. I probably still am. His rose and his Eve.
But we can't co-exist. For I am not meant to be his rose nor Eve. I am supposed to not be swayed by such words. He tried to once. Tried to sway me like he could wrap me round his finger. Pull me in like thread and manipulate me.
It's what he would do anytime he showed up to S. He would come to me, place his finger under my chin to make me look up at him and promise me sweet nothings to get me to be by his side. I can just remember the one he used often ringing in my ears.
"Love is an unconditional commitment to an imperfect person. To love somebody isn't just a strong feeling... it is a decision, a judgement and a promise. My rose. Be by my side. Forever and always."
He'd say this to me over and over. Trying to win me over. But it never worked.
"Phoenix? You good?" Reki asked, waving a hand in front of my face.
"Ah... I must've zoned out. Sorry." I say.
"Phoenix..." Miya says.
"You've been doing that a lot since you told us about yourself." Joe points out.
"I guess... it just brought up some unwanted memories. That's all." I say.
"Oh I've always wondered, why'd you change your mask all of a sudden? You had one with red roses before." Reki says.
"The fact that it was red roses. He chose it. And at the time I liked it but when I saw his intentions, that's when I realised I should change it. So it's now butterflies to symbolise the fact that I've flown too far from his reach." I say.
"Anyway, the race is gonna start soon." I say.
We turn to Langa and watch Adam arrive. They both stood in the start line, and, one again the countdown went off.

GO!
Neither took off. Just like my race with him. Adam took out his cigarette case and went to light a cigarette. But he saw Langa was next to him.
"Oh, my bad Snow." Adam says.
The countdown then starts once again.

GO!
This time, they both took off. But Langa stayed behind and Adam took the lead. Adam wanted to entrance Langa in his dance. I noticed Langa speed up. Oh I know what he's doing. He's gonna use Adam to increase his speed.
Adam pulled Langa into his dance and increased their spin. He was about to do his Love Hug but Langa dodged it with an aerial. I could see the smirk on Adam's face. Meaning he was impressed. Adam was in the lead. And Langa was second. Adam was entrancing him to follow his lead.
Midway through the race, sirens are heard. Shit. Cops. It's a police raid. Reki helped Langa flee with the scooter and Shadow took off in his car and Joe used his skateboard. Cherry used his bike. I brought my skateboard with me just in case. I put it in the floor and took off after everyone.
I headed to Joe's thinking everyone would meet there. But as I was on the way, I noticed Reki and Langa sat on some steps. I stopped skating and headed over to them.
"Phoenix? Did you skate here?" Langa asked.
"Maybe." I say, not looking at either of them.
"Jeez you two are too reckless. You're still healing." Langa says as he helps Reki fix the sling.
"Langa. Promise me one thing. Don't race Adam again." Reki says.
I could tell he meant it. But then again, I agreed with him. None of are even remotely prepared to race Adam. No matter how hard we trained. Unless we could match him, speed and all, there's no way.
I sat down on the stairs near Reki and Langa, watching the sky. The dull, dark sky.
"Guys. I have a way to beat Adam but you aren't gonna like it." I say.
"Huh? What's that mean?" Reki says.
"Ages ago, he made sure to teach me something. He wanted me to learn his tricks. If I can test you two, I'm sure we could beat him." I say.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Langa asks.
"Guys, you're missing the point. I said no one is racing Adam again." Reki says.
"I know how to pull off a Love Hug." I blurt out.
"Wha- How?!" Reki says.
"He... a while ago, when S started, he wanted me to know all the tricks of the trade. So I would watch him. Day in, day out. Using the Love Hug. After a while, I got the hang of it. If we can pull a Love Hug against him, we can surprise him. That or we just use the aerial's again. And make sure we take off at max speed." I say.
"Pull a Love Hug on Adam, huh?" Reki says.
