Echo walked into motors, as usual with her skateboard in hand. she had thought about how hot she got yesterday so today she decided to choose more wisely and put on some tight shorts her cuts were still bold but not it was sunset so not as noticible she still hid her legs. ray was sitting in front of the cash register with ruben besides him on a stool. fuckshit stood leaning on the counter in front of ray, having a conversation.
as the bell rang over the Echo they all turned to the girl. "hey!" fuckshit smiled and walked up to Echo giving her a side hug and keeping his arm around her shoulder. she dabbed ruben and ray up.
"how's it going?" Echo asked.
"cool. ray answered.
Echo looked around for her other friend. hoping he was sitting on the couch in the corner which he wasn't. "yo,where's fourthgrade?" she asked.
"he said he had to be at his dads job or some shit." ruben shrugged.
soon enough stevie came walking in.
"fuck shit! look at this crazy nigga right here!" fuckshit said turning to the door. ray and Echo laughed.
"how's your head psycho?" ray asked genuinely worried for the smaller boy
"it's fine." stevie answered shortly.
"no sunburn, it's definitely not fine. there's some fucked up shit going on up there." ray said. "yeah that board is looking pretty fucked up."
"yeah."
ray stood up and grabbed a brand new board from the shelf. "think you should probably ride one of these." he handed the board to stevie.
"oh i don't have any money." stevie said looking up at ray. ray chuckled.
"no, you don't understand. like this is yours." ray said.
"no one will be missing it." fuckshit butted in.
stevie grabbed the board from rays hand excitedly. "are you fucking serious!"
"are you fucking serious!" ruben said angrily and got up from his stool and made it out of the shop. Echo looked at the boy worriedly wondering what's going on. she took a step towards the door to follow ruben but felt fuckshit tug at her shoulder telling her to stay.
"hey, come back with some skittles. ray said to ruben as he left.
"ray!" echo scolded.
the boy turned to the girl. "what?" Echo just scoffed.
"ay, he'll be fine man." fuckshit said to the girl.
"am i... am i allowed to say thank you?" stevie asked making the other: look at him questionably.
ray chuckled. "what?'
stevie continued. "i mean i want to. but i don't want you to think i'm gay."
"fucking weirdo. saying thank you isn't gay. it's just common manners."
"oh."
"the fuck?" ray stammered.
"thank you so much." stevie smiled a genuine smile at ray.
"no problem."
finally Echo pushed fuckshits arm away from her and began walking out the door.
"yo, where are you going?" fuckshit asked the girl.
"im just gonna see if he's fine just in case." echo answered and sent a small smile towards his way. fuckshit sighed but she didn't care about that. she just wanted to see what was up with ruben.
