"how the fuck do you do that shit so effortlessly?" matthew asked as he watched me skate around the skatepark.

he was sitting on top of the half-pipe, with his legs dangling off the edge. i stopped as i got to the top of the half-pipe.

"oh, trust me; this shit is not effortlessly," i laughed before i went down it again.

"sure doesn't seem like it," he grumbled as he continued to watch me as i did tricks.

"well, i mean, i've practiced," i shrugged. "that's why i'm so good," i smirked.

of course, pretty much right after i said this, i ended up falling and scraping the hell out of my knee. i groaned, and i rolled over to just lay on my back for a moment.

"are you okay?" matt asked as he let out a small laugh.

i held up a thumbs up as i continued to lay there for a moment. the sun was shining directly on me, but it felt good.

i sat up, and i pulled my knee to my chest so that i could inspect the scrape. it was bleeding a little bit, but it looked a lot worse than it actually felt.

i looked around, and i grabbed my hat from where it fell off. i put it back on, stood up, and got back to skating.

"you're just gonna act as if nothing happened?" matthew questioned as he looked at me with wide eyes.

"um... yeah?" i made a face.

he shook his head a few times as he muttered something. i laughed.

"you should let me teach you how to skate," i suggested.

"so that i can bust my ass a million times? no, thank you," he huffed.

"oh, come on, dude; it's not that bad," i told him. "it's fun!"

"yeah, is that why you've fractured your arm and sprained your ankle twice?" he raised a brow. "not to mention all the other countless injuries."

i let out a small, awkward laugh. "well, uh, you see, what had happened with that was..." i trailed off. he sent me an expecting look. "okay, yeah, you can get hurt, but it's all a part of the experience!" i claimed.

"i'd rather not," he stood his ground.

i sighed. "lame," i teased.

"fuck off," he raised his middle finger at me. i flipped him off too.

he continued to watch me for a bit. "how do you go to the gym and workout after doing this?" he quizzed.

"'cause, i gotta get them gains," i said in my best man voice as i flexed my arms. i only held a serious face for a few seconds before i bursted out laughing.

"you're so fuckin' stupid," he laughed as well.

it's now wednesday. i'm at the animation studio.

i was leaning back in chair. i had on a pair of headphones as i listened to some song that we were including in the movie we've been working on.

who ever is singing this is good as hell. the lyrics are amazing too.

when the song was finished, i pulled my headphones off. i pushed my chair back away from my desk, and i stood up.

"yo, do you know who's singing that song?" i asked one of my coworkers. "the one we were sent earlier?"

"um... some billie ellish chick, i think. billie eyelash, maybe? i don't know," she told me. "she's good though. apparently, that's only a demo of the song. she said she's working on making it better."

"making it better?" my eyes widened. "i thought it sounded amazing as it was."

"yeah, me too. she's, like... a perfectionist when it comes to her music though, is what i heard," she shrugged.

i let out a small hum. i thanked her before i walked back over to my desk again.

i pulled my phone out, and i went to instagram. i typed in billie ellish. an account with the user billieeilish popped up instead.

eilish. okay.

i clicked on the account. my eyes widened as i saw who it was.

the bartender from the club.

she was already attractive, just in the all black attire she had to wear at the bar, but on her instagram, where she had freely expressed her style, she was somehow even more attractive.

in most pictures, she was wearing baggy, loose fitting clothes. she was wearing tons of chains and rings. to say she made it look good would be an extreme understatement.

there were a few pictures where she was wearing skirts and more fitting clothes. of course, she made that look really good as well.

i've said it before, and i'll say it again; she is fine.

i scrolled through her instagram for a moment. i then scrolled up, and i saw that she had a few thousand followers. i hesitated for a moment. i decided against following her, and i closed the app.

<~~~~~>

i smiled as i wrestled around with shiloh. she bit my hand, though she added no pressure to the bite. her teeth were kinda just resting on my hand.

she wouldn't hurt a fly.

i stopped wrestling with her, and i plopped down on my bed. shiloh wasn't having that though; she nuzzled her snout into the palm of my hand to try and get me to pet her. i laughed softly as i pet her head.

i laid around my apartment with shiloh for a bit. i eventually got up, and i walked to the kitchen.

on the counter, were the three hoodies that sophia had dropped off while i was at work. they were folded neatly in a stack.

i sighed as i stared at them for a moment. even just from standing in front of the counter where they sat, i could smell that they smelt like soph.

i need to wash those.

i ran my hand down my face. i stepped away from the hoodies. i searched through my cabinets to find something to cook for dinner.
