They Day I Found A Skateboard And Myself

Chapter 2

That night i stayed up for hours and hours and hours  , trying to remember where I had seen Arlo before and why I recognised him. It suddenly came to me , I remembered where i had seen him , he was on tv , he was a actor on a show I have watched . I used to watch him all the time. He looked so different now , older . That must be why i couldnt tell who he was , he looked so different . Nearly a completely different person . I cant believe he lives just down the street i thought to myself. How have I never seen him before . He was so down to earth and kind , I couldn't wait to properly meet him and his family .
It came to the next day as I woke up i was so tried for the night before trying to work out how I knew Arlo . I felt the nerves hit me . Today was the day , I was going around somebody's house for the first time . It seems so strange that yesterday morning , I had no clue I would meet him . I never expected this to happen , especially just randomly when I got off my bus . There are kind people everywhere , I just need to take more notice . The school day felt longer then usual , as I watched the seconds tick by on the clock , to when I could go skateboarding with Arlo! . I had a urge to speak to people in school today , Arlo really has boosted my confidence and I have only met him once , but of course I didn't speak to anyone  . It's not like anybody would listen anyway . It was no use speaking to anyone expect my favourite teacher , she was the best. She always helped me , gave me advice and listened to my stories . I love sitting in her office while she talks about her cats . I always saw myself as a old soul and that I didn't fit in , in this generation. Like I was born in the wrong time . Seeing as the teacher I talked to must be around 80 and we get along so well . Every time with her went by fast , then I would have to go back to class . As I headed back to class I tried to walk as slow as I could . When I finally got there , I stared at the clock . The seconds ticked by , and the bell finally rang . Jeez I thought , that school day seemed to go on for years . I did my usual get changed and head for the bus , keeping my head down so hopefully nobody would notice me . After another long bus ride , drowning out everyone's daily gossip with my headphones , I was finally back into the familiar fresh air . I ran home as fast as my legs would take me  . You could tell I was running fast as I nearly ran into a bike , cat and somebody walking there dog . I always got told not to run so fast for that reason of running into people , but today was a special occasion . I spent nearly a hour getting ready , making sure I looked perfect in my style. It felt weird trying to make sure I looked nice , I didn't normally care as much . As long as I thought it looked nice enough I was fine . As I headed out the door I heard my mum shout "Willow , don't forget your skateboard." I quickly ran back in and picked up my skateboard and headed out , I can't be late . I never forget my skateboard , must be all of that excitement . It's lucky my mum reminded me , no use turning up for skateboarding without my skateboard . Arlo probably has loads of skateboards but I wouldn't want to ask when I don't know him to well yet
This was going to be a adventure of a lifetime ...
