Chapter Four: Ricky Starks

((A/N: Hey! I just thought I'd let you guys know that my goal is to make the chapters longer than the previous ones! Also to say thank you for reading!))

Hayleigh's POV -

"So he agreed to hang out with you?" Rhea asked me as I was on the phone with her while sitting in my car.

"Surprisingly, yeah!"

"Look at you go, girl!" Rhea cheers. "Next thing you know, you two will be dating!"

"Rhea, how many times do I gotta tell you? It's not like that!" I grin.

"Oh really? Did you see how pissed off Darby was when that Starks kissed you?? The man was absolutely fuming!"

"I think it's just because he hates Starks." I brush it off.

"Or he's pissed because he was kissing you!"

I shook my head and giggled. "Why would he care?"

"Because he likes you, duh! Hayleigh, you can't fake that kind of emotion that he showed!"

"You really think so?"

"I know so. What are you two supposed to do on your date anyways?"

"It's not a date!"

"Sure Hayleigh. Now I'm gonna ask you again. What are you doing for your date?" Rhea giggled.

"I asked him if he wanted to meet up at the arena early and skate for a few hours."

"Skate? As in skateboarding?? Hayleigh, do you not remember what happened last time you tried to ride a skateboard? You busted your ass!"

"I know, which is why I improvised!"

"Improvised? How?"

"I had a custom pair of Heelys made a couple of weeks ago. They came in the night before I left!"

"Are you sure you can ride around in them though?" Rhea chuckled.

"I practiced last night in my hotel room and I'll let you know that I only fell twice! Thank you very much!"

Rhea and I laughed.

"I love you, ya knucklehead."

"I love you too, Rhea." I smile before I looked up and seen Darby going into the arena. "Just seen Darby. Gotta go."

"Okay, go catch your loverboy!"

I laughed. "Bye Rhea."

"Bye Hayleigh."

I giggle as I hung up. I got out of my car and jogged up to the arena and walked in. Once through the door, I started slowly gliding across the floor with the Heelys. When I was comfortable enough, I picked up speed just slightly. I skated around until I spotted Darby again.

"Darbs!" I called out, grabbing his attention, now walking towards him.

He turns his head and grins when he sees me. "Hey." He then looks at me with a brow raised. "Where's your board?"

"I don't have one." 

"Well, then how are you supposed to skate?" He asked curiously.

"You mean like this?" I asked before I started slowly skating, gliding past and around him.

"Wha-"

"Heelys!" I stopped and winked at him. "Had them custom made!" I point down to the shoes.
