So I was at my friends house and we were planning to go skateboarding (this was a bad idea from the start), now this was my first time skating in a few years (6 it was 6 years). So I probably (most definitely) forgot how to skateboard, so I don't know why I agreed but #YOLO and plus I'm a really big wimp who is terrified of heights so FUN, FUN and even more FUN; anyway I've went off topic. So I kinda was like I guess it will be fun. So something I haven't cleared up is that my best friends are twins so there were two of them. Anyway so they were like 'so ya wanna pick a skateboard' and so I agreed and we went upstairs (they have a cellar :3) and they went into the dining room to find them. I was standing in the hallway like 'I guess I should be excited' but I was really really nervous and I should've been. So one of them passed me, the big one. Now here's the thing, their hallway is wood, a very smooth surface. I had a freaking skateboard in my hand, skateboard+hallway= cool skater dude. So they were still in the dining room looking for the other skateboard. It felt so wrong, but my brain was screaming "DO IT, DO IT". So I place the skateboard on the floor, I made the rookie mistake and put my foot on the back of the board. WHOOSH, BASH I'm on the floor, luckily they didn't hear me so I brushed it off. Now they had this radiator cover thing and it literally had everything on it:
•spare change
•keys
•an IPOD
•letters
Etc.
I heard this almighty creak and it slowly fell, I tried to catch it (really I did). SMASH everything, I mean literally everything on the floor. Oh shit. They walk out of the room into their hallway to see me having a breakdown and a big mess of spare change and letters and stuff everything. I even broke the actual cover. Can I just say I could've died that day, it could've crushed me I was in shock. I think they laughed either that or it was a cry for help. Now I managed to get coins literally lodged into the door and we were unable to get them out. Also their dogs kept standing on the cover so it was a task, especially when one is a bull terriers, to pick the freaking thing back up. So we cleared it and it was all normal, at the time we were home alone, so we had to cross our fingers that when their mom came back everything was gonna be normal... Yeh right. We hear the door open, I could hear my heart racing, it was intense. I think I was in so much shock my mind is a blur. So we go upstairs, yep their mom had noticed oh great. I think she was fine with the whole radiator cover but... I smashed her lanterns. Now she loved them lanterns and she had searched for months for them. I felt like I had crushed her soul, I wanted the ground to swallow me up. I don't think I have said sorry so many times in my life. There was only one thing that would make up for this... Chocolate. Chocolate buttons to be exact. I think she was fine (I hope). I was still in shock with my near death experience. So I had kinda been put off, but I still went. I went skating anyway and as soon as I got there I fell off. So we had a good three hours, mainly me falling off and stuff.
The next day I bought her the chocolate and then found out about the full story of the lanterns and still wanted the ground to swallow me up.Now I am so glad this wasn't my first visit to their house, otherwise I may have been banned from their house.
Moral of the story for me: If you are given a skateboard in SOMEONES HOUSE don't ride down their hallway, especially if you haven't went on a skateboard in a few years.
Moral of the story for friends: Don't give your EXTREMELY CLUMSY friend a skateboard, that had not went on a skateboard in 6 years.
Thank you, I hope I made you laugh and good day
