As isabella had promised, the next day she was out skating with the rest of the boys. They threw their boards and climbed the fence. When she made it over, Isabella's shirt got stuck in a wire and ripped a hole in her shirt.
"Fuck, this is my favorite shirt!" She said as she examined it when she was on two feet again.
"I'll buy you a new one shawty."
"It looks kinda grungy now!" Foruthgrade remarked, trying to be positive.
"Yeah? Something Cobain would have worn?"
"Totally." He replied with a smile.
They skated to where they had some flat ground and benches scattered around the side.
"Are we gonna see Isa fall on her face today?" Ruben teased and Stevie laughed.
"Wow, Ruben, glad to hear you believe in me!"
"Imma teach her to ollie." Fuckshit said proudly.
"With Fuckshit as a teacher then you definitely gonna eat concrete." Ray teased. Isabella was scared to get hurt, she had never been the adventurous type and she didn't take risks, usually. When she was high though, she could be reckless. But with Fuckshits help she quit her pills even though she still felt cravings for them every day. He stood by her, all they did was drink. Nothing else.
"Okay, focus mamas." Fuckshit explained the steps to master the ollie but it seemed impossible. how was she supposed to make the board leave the ground without gluing it to her feet? She did the motions over and over again. Repetition was the best lesson. The boys joined in and tried to give her tips. She was getting closer and closer but she wasn't fully there yet.
"You just gotta give it your all ma. Slide your foot as soon as you jump."
"You can do it!" Stevie agreed.
Maybe she could but it was the mental block that was the hardest to get over. She knew the move after practicing for the whole day. Now it was getting dark out. The only time they had done something else was when Ray and Stevie offered to go to seven eleven and get them snacks. "Alright, gimme a break and I'll try again in 10 minutes."
