harness your hopes, mid 90s

#004, 5-0

THE GROUP OF SIX SOON MADE IT TO THE COURT HOUSE WHERE HOMELESS PEOPLE AND SKATERS HUNG OUT.

"Are we allowed to skate here?" Stevie asked Ruben and Og

"Fuck, no. It's like super super illegal. It's a fucking courthouse." Og exclaims with a 'duh' expression in her voice.

"If you hear anyone yell out '5-0' just fucking take off." Ruben explains

"You see those fucking bums? If one of them offers you something to smoke, don't smoke it. It's probably fucking crack" Ruben continues.

Og then skates away from the two younger boys and attempts to find Fuckshit or Ray.

It takes her a second but she eventually finds the two boys sitting down with a homeless man, Fuckshit was hands him a cigarette.
Og then plops down next to Ray.

"So how you doing? What's good in your life?" Fuck shit asks the man.

"Well I'm here, shit. I'm trying to get up off the streets, man,  before the streets get me."

"Yeah?"

"But,see, I look like this, so..." The homeless man states

"Ain't nobody wanna fuck with you." Og muttered

"Yeah, you feel me. My friends or whatever, they kind of just..."

"Ain't no judging over here." Fuckshit reassured

"Oh okay. So, let me ask you a question, man. What are you doing with the skating?"

"I just have fun skating. It's like... It makes me happy and smile. So I just skate everyday." Fuckshit explains

"Oh okay, I can dig it."
"Yeah, it's fun as hell, but i'm trying to make a way." Ray states

"Oh okay, you can do that with skating?"

"Yeah. If you... If you Focus." Og chimes

"Oh damn."

"There's pros. I want to be one of them." Og continues

"That seems crazy to me, that you could get a job skating."

"Hell yeah."

"I'm thinking, man, maybe I should have started skating."

"What was your last job?" Fuckshit inquired

"Man I was in the data industry. Everything's kind of takes some kind of artistic mind to do. You can't just be a robot, you've got to be able to come up with ideas. So I'm starting to feel more like that but I still got the old programming in me I guess from school. I'm thinking about a lot of stuff out here."

"You understand why we ride a piece of wood, why we push on just a piece of wood, like, what that does to somebody's spirit. You know?" Fuckshit exclaims
"Just try to keep a positive attitude even though it's hard as hell. But I'm glad that y'all sat down with me and talked with me for a minute, man. That helps, actually, a lot."

"Your a good dude." Og informed

"Right on." He responds before dabbing Og up.

The three stand up and skate around before a boy in a grey t-shirt shouts out...
"Hey 5-0! 5-0!"

Og picked up her board and ran as fast as she could, she was worried that Stevie was gonna get caught.
Og felt someone grab her shoulder and her heart dropped she looked over and saw it was Ray. Og sighed with relief and kept on running.

The five original friends made it to Fuckshits car.
"Fuck! Ruben where is Stevie?" Og asks while panting .
"I don't know!"

"Weren't you with him!"

"No I wasn't-" Ruben said but was cut off by Stevie opening the door.

Og sighs loudly with relief.
"Thank fucking god!"

-

Fuckshit pulled out the front of Ruben apartment complex.
"Later guys" Ruben states before getting out the car.
"Bye."
"Peace."
