Rikki looked up to see a girl standing over his desk. "Uhhh n-no." She sat down and took her books out. "I'm Zoa, what's your name?" "Um... Rikki." "How old are you?" "14." "Ahhh I just turned 15." Rikki was befuddled. A girl in his class that WASN'T all over him? "A-are you new here?" Rikki asked. "Hm? Oh, yes. We're new to this neighborhood. My sisters are going here too! But they're in different classes." "How many sisters do you have?" "Six." Rikki stared at her in shock. "Yeah, I know! It can get pretty loud, but we get along well enough! We actually plan to check out the skate park down the road. Do you skate?" To be honest, he's never been on a skateboard in his life. But his mind wasn't fast enough for his mouth. "Yes! Yes I do!" "Great! Wanna meet us after school?" Say no! "Sure!" Bruh. What was he getting himself into?
"Hey! Uhhh... b-baby?" Jake scratched the back of his head while Lucy laughed. "You've never dated anyone in Australia?" "No... you're my first." "Aw, I guess I'm special." "Well, you are to me." Jake smiled. Lucy stared into his eyes and then squealed without moving a muscle. "Are you okay?" "I'm fine, fine! Just remembered I have to ask Yuna something, brb!" Then she ran. "Did I mess up already...?" Jake asked himself worriedly.
Lucy ran around the corner but then hid behind it when she saw Yuna talking to a blonde guy. "Yunaaa!" She whispered. "Yunaaa..." Nothing. "YUNA!" She covered her mouth as Yuna turned around. "What??" She mouthed. "I need you!" Lucy mouthed back. "I'm talking to someone!" "I have a problem!" "Why can't you ask Lia??" "Because she's in class!" "I'll talk to you later, see ya!" The boy interrupted their silent conversation. "Oh, okay!" She waved to him as he walked away. "You owe me! He LOVES pancakes!" Yuna whispered yelled. "Yeah, yeah, whatever! So my problem is, is that Jake is too cute for me!" Yuna stared at her. "WHY would I care?" "No, like, he's perfect and I'm scared I'll mess up!" "Just be yourself! Clearly he likes how you are right now!" "Be myself... oh that's good." Lucy turned around and ran back to Jake.
"Rikki! You made it!" Zoa waved to him from the top of a cement ramp. She was with her sisters and they waved to him too. Rikki waved back and made his way towards them. "Rikki, these are my sisters! Soojin, Jiyoon, Monday, Soeun, Jaehee, and Jihan." They all said hello to him and he shyly said hi back. "Do you have a skateboard?" asked Jihan. "Oh, uh... no, sorry." "It's okay, here take mine!" Jaehee gave him hers then Rikki went to the edge and looked down. The ground looks a lot farther from up here. "Uh... do you have a helmet?" he asked Zoa. "Oh! We never really use helmets! We don't do crazy tricks and we've been doing this since we were really young!" "Oh... great." He stepped on the skateboard and stalled there for a while. "Everything okay?" Monday asked. "Uh yeah! Well... no... I lied, Zoa... I've never skated before." he confessed guiltily. "Why would you lie about that?" Zoa was confused. "Cause I thought you were really cool and I wanted to hang out with you." Zoa giggled. "Rikki, you don't have to know how to skate and hang out with me. We can be friends regardless!" "Really?" "Of course." She smiled. "Now let's get you off before-" All of a sudden a strong gust of wind blew and as the girls held onto their hats, Rikki realized he was moving closer to the edge. "Woah!" The girls tried to grab him but it was too late, he was off. At first everything was going okay, until the wheel hit a rock and he went flying into a railing. "Rikki!" They went running to him and saw he was bleeding on his arm and leg. "Are you okay??" Zoa asked. "I don't know, my ankle really hurts..." Jiyoon went to touch his ankle and he yelped in pain. "Ow, ow!" Rikki started to tear up. "Oh no!" Soeun exclaimed. The girls felt just terrible. "We gotta call his mom." Soojin declared.
"Who's that?" Sam was looking at the project Ningning was going to show their art teacher. It was of a girl with long silver hair with a pink tint at the bottom, wearing a black sparkly two piece. "I'm not sure! I saw her in a dream the other day and just HAD to paint her!" she replied. "It looks really nice!" "Thanks! How's your project going?" "Eh, I can't think of what I wanna draw." "Well, you're great at doing flowers, why not a nice forest or something?" "Hm, I could try."
Sam went to mix some colors until he gasped in pain. His arm and leg were bleeding! "Oh my gosh! What happened!?" Ningning ran to him. "Ow!" Sam fell down and grabbed his ankle. "Something's really wrong." "I'll get the nurse!" Ningning ran out. "What's happening?" Sam asked himself.
Lucy and Jake were crossing the street when a car stopped at the corner. They shifted their gear into drive and charged straight at Lucy.
"Lucy!" Jake shoved her out of the way. She fell to the ground and then turned around to see Jake unconscious as the car drove away. "Jake?" She crawled to him and shook him. "Jake?" Nothing. "No. No, no, no, Jake please!" She kept shaking him but he wouldn't wake up. "NO!!"
