Lottie's POV

I was mindlessly scrolling on social media when I saw a video caught my eye. It was a video of someone skateboard dancing, it looked fun. My parents would probably agree since it meant I'd be actually doing something besides damaging my hair with hair dye and out of their house.

I walked to my local skateboard shop as I lived near a skatepark, it was coinvent for the people who skated. I picked out a cheap but sturdy skateboard as I doubt I'd have enough motivation to last more than a week. I was lucky my parent worked overtime often. It wasn't that they don't love me or anything, it was that being a control freak kind of ran in the family so they decided that instead of causing family drama they'd just let me be.

Right, so first I have to balance on it... I stood on the board, do you want to guess what happened? New flash, I fell on my ass. 

+- 1 month later-+

I learned how to do simple tricks and use the skate board for traveling. I probably could progress more but I still had school that I somehow pass with an 'A' even though I half-assed all of my assignment 

-+ 3 year ago+- age: 17

I found out about this illegal skateboarding place called "S", I got a pin from a guy who has connections to the people there. The only reason why I have "friends."

Lottie's POV

I skated over to this "S" place and over the past year I'd say I got quite good at doing tricks and going fast without any major injuries. Though I do admit that I don't know any of the names of the tricks besides an ollie as I never found the reasoning to have to learn them, it wasn't like I have any friends to talk about skateboarding. 

I make my way in "S" as the gate just opened and went through security to confirm I had a pin or sticker. I could feel people stare at me, it wasn't uncommon for me as it's not everyday you see someone with with 5 different hair colors. I made my way to an uncrowded area so I could practice. Before I could choose a song to vibe to from my phone I heard the sound of screaming. 

"Ahh!!!! Joe, his abs!" "Joe notice me!!!" "I think I'm going to die, Joe's so hot!!" Oh, it was just fan girls/boys, don't know who Joe is but I could only think one thing, Joe mama and also, I don't care who he is. 

Again, I was about to listen to my music when I again got distracted by more screaming, this time it was for another person. "Cherry!" "Ugh!! He's is so cute!" (Idk how to do the fan girls/boys comments) Now this time I did care slightly more as it was a feminine name but the crowd of fan girls/boys used the pronoun 'he.' This meant one of several things, it's a male named Cherry, or another gender who also uses that pronoun. 

I was going to skate over before remembering what I was suppose to do. I finally found a premade playlist to vibe to and started to practice a few tricks that I did not care enough to know the names of it. 

3rd person POV

Lottie was currently still practicing her skateboard tricks as she calls them while an argument not to far from her is starting to stir. She was once again distributed by loud noises but this time she went to check what was happening. It's was a tall man that looked to be about 6 feet with cyan hair, it seem as if he used a whole tub of gel to get the hair style had now. He was the one that had made a bet that the other person, an average height male with curly purple hair, disagreed with.

"Bro! There's not way I'm going to do that bet!"
"You have to, you can't just ditch 5 minutes before the beef." 
"Then someone will just play in my place. Her, that crazy hair girl already is on her skateboard, you know the rule, she'll play instead of me" He pointed at Lottie.

"Huh?" Lottie mutters in confusion, their voices were muffled but with how loud they were the multi-color hair girl could hear them clearly. At this point, in the 5 seconds that it announced, Lottie has just accepted as there was really no way out of it. She followed the cyan-gel man to the starting line. 

"So, lets set this straight so you don't messing things up like someone. If I win then you'll have to give me your social security number. Now that that's cleared up, what's your bet, short stack"

 Oh how Lottie wanted to cause the man pain at the moment, 'Who the fuck you calling short stack, bitch? I'm only 17, I'm 5'8, already tall for a female, and I'm still growing.' She masked her anger but it made her want to speak even less so she just took out her phone.

Lottie's POV

The man angered me but I calmed down as it was stupid to be mad and waste my voice on the topic. Me? Using my voice and socializing with it? Please, tell me a better joke next time. Anyways, I wanted money, it'd be more useful than anything else the man had to offer. I took out my phone and went to a text to speech website. I manage to quickly type out my bet. It was the only time that being on my phone has help me in a situation that involved socializing.

"I want money" It was blunt and unspecific. "Well how much kid? You can't let it as that" 
" I want $150 cash" It probably not that much to him but it help fund my snacks for a while. "Fine kid, but be prepare to lose."
