Sunday was awful as I was bombarded with homework from every class it took me the entire day to finish it. Once again I reminded my self next week to start my homework on Saturday.

It was almost late evening when I came downstairs.

"Alright I will come pick it up." My dad said on the phone.

"What's up?" I asked sitting on the kitchen island.

"I just placed an order for Chinese food but the delivery car is broken.  So now I have to go and pick it up." He said.

"I can go."

"It's not to far I need the walk."

"You sure I can just go drive and get it."

"It's fine I've been stuck in my room all day I want some fresh air." I hopped off the island and dad took out his wallet.

"Alright this should cover it." He handed me a 20 dollar bill.

"This is more than-"

"Shhhhh, just keep the change and don't tell your mom."  I nodded hugging him before putting on my sneakers.

As I was passing the Hargrove residence I didn't see Billy's car but I saw max skating in her driveway.

"Whoa your getting so good at that." She stopped and ran over and I gave her a hug.

"Wanna try?"

"No I would break my nose or hips or legs." I laughed and she shook her head.

"Falling is part of learning." She pulled my hand to brought me to the front of her house.

"When did you get a new skateboard?" I asked

"Billy got it, I think Neil forced him to buy it for me." I laughed.

"It looks better than your old one."

"It's much smoother as well."

"Here stand on it." She took my hands and I stepped on the board . She slowly walked next to me while hold my hands but every few seconds I would walk off because I had no form of balance.

"Max I suck." I said getting off.

"No you don't just one more time."  She said and I sighed before getting on.

As I was half way down the drive way the board slipped which sent me flying backwards. Ready to feel the concrete on the ground and ache in pain I squeezed my eyes closed but it never came.

"Holy crap I'm so sorry!" Max came running over.

"What did I tell you shithead." I heard the voice from behind me talk that when I realized that indeed billy had broken my fall.

"I'm fine seriously." I said as he got me up from the ground.

"Yeah I know because you landed on my balls." He grabbed his crouch Turing a weird shade of red.

"I'm so sorry." I said trying no to laugh. I looked over at max who was looking elsewhere.

"Why would you even get her on the board." He asked angrily.

"It's fine I wanted to get on." I lied and he frowned.

"Again I'm sorry Kai." I shook my head "it's fine I will just stick to driving and walking for now."

"Get inside." He said to max and she ran off before waving at me.

"I am sorry." I said point at his area.
