You?

chapter 7

Wades pov

Scooter kids would be fine, if they didn't snake and ignore lines. Its so fucking annoying. And most of the time there parents would stand in the most obnoxious places, on the ramps or in the middle of the park, like lady come on I'm trying to practice.

why do I say this?

Well lets just say when going for a 1080, on a half pipe, make sure no scooter kids will drop in, while your mid spin. Make sure said scooter kid doesn't come underneath you as you land. Make sure you don't bail so you don't squash a kid.

Kicking the board away from me i land hard on my back, just besides the kid who only then realises what had happened. He falls off his scooter in surprise. Groaning, I hear shouts and moans from the surronding skaters. 

"wheres this kids parents!" one shouts,

 "fucking snakes" another shouts"

But two voices rise above the rest 

"Wade" peter calls urgently his voice full of panic, he slides into the bowl.

"Idiot" matt curses as he jumps down from his perch. Other skaters start to jump into the bowl as i sit up, bruises quickly fading.  The kids crying as skaters ignore him and cround around me>

"Wade shit, are you hurt? oh god, are you okay?" peter fusses kneeling beside me, "Do you need to go to hospital? fuck how do we pay for that!?"

"pete, peter I'm fine" i reassure him, as i start to get up, the others skaters look relieved and start to move off or congratulate me.  The kid is still crying on the floor, so i think some people went off into find his parents. That was before we heard the gremlin screaming, by gremlin i mean Matt.

"THE HELL DO YOU MEAN YOU WEREN'T WATCHING!" he screams "YOUR 8 YEAR COULD'VE DIED AND YOU WERE WHAT?! IF YOUR NOT GONNA WATCH YOUR KID WHY ARE YOU STANDING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SKATE-PARK?!"

Heads snap over in their general directions as matt berates the parent, 

"WELL I DON'T NEED SOME BLIND ASS MOTHERFUCKER TELLING ME HOW TO PARENT!" the mom yells back, "NOW WHERES MY SON?"

"IN THE BOWL WHICH YOU WOULD HAVE KNOWN IF YOU WERE WATCHING"

I hear two people come storming over, feeling their anger before i see their faces. The lady has a classic Karen haircut and a deep scowl on her face, damn my day isn't going great, suspension, a beating and a Karen, yay. 

"OH my baby hunter" the woman wails, her emotions changing as more parents come view the incident. She not so gracefully clambers into the bowl as MAtt calls downm to me "you good?"

"Yeah i got lucky"

"YOU!" the woman rounds on me "You could have killed my PoOr bAbY,"

"YO he was the one who snaked" I retort my annoyance peeking, "he only fell once i had landed"

"Yeah wade didn't even touch him," peter adds.

"Well I'm gonna call the police because you could of killed

 my son, your not even supposed to be here this park is for ChIlDrEn, not stupid skaters."

"One, this skate park, not a play park, two we videoed the incident, so sure call the police they'll take our side." Matt says calming down now he knows i'm okay.

"Well i know the mayor so ill get him to shut down his dangerous place, you have no where to skate."

"You don't know the mayor now let us skate"

"And don't let your kid skate here if its dangerous" i call as we walk away, collecting my board and climbing out of the bowl. Skaters start to go back into the bowl and we head to the bench where peters laptop luckily still is. Peter goes back to his lines of code, and me and matt chat about what a bitch that woman was.

"So are you gonna try again?" Matt asks. after a while, using a minature braille writer.

"Maybe when the park is quieter, how was your confession."

"It was okay, just about the fight mostly."

He never likes to talk about confessions so I don't push the subject instead asking which church he went to.

"The usual" he replies, i raise my eyebrows. "The one in hells kitchen, not broklyn"

"How many do you go to anyway? 5?"

"4"

"Anyway I'm gonna practice street over by the stairs, cya" and with that i skate away.
