"Gazes from one's love."
As you walked through the crowd, People kept swarming, Though, There was no hosted events. I guess this was a secret yet known place for skaters here in Okinawa.
You accidentally bumped into someone, a Tall red head. "Reki?" You called him. Without even thinking about it or the odds of that being a complete stranger that has the same red hair.
He looked down at you and by his side was the same blue haired rookie. They both looked at you with widened eyes as if they just saw a dead person. "Ah, Y/n?" Reki mentioned your name, Looking behind you and suddenly his face turned into complete irritation.
"I see the slime duo is here." A voice from behind you spoke. Obviously, You know who it was by the way he toned out his choice of words, Miya Chinen. You stepped beside the red head, Looking at Miya with the same irritation on Reki's face.
Miya's eyes shifted to yours, His smirk reappears on his face making you scoff. There was tension now, Some people gathering to see what was happening. Whispers were heard on the background, faint squeals as well.
"I challenge you... To have a beef with me" Miya declared, His eyes stayed on yours. Suddenly the air felt tense, Suffocating even. "What?" You asked him, Crossing your arms. Obviously, He was trying to make a fool out of you.
You glanced at Reki and Langa who was too shocked to witness kids challenging each other. "Y/n, Have a beef with me." Miya said, His voice low yet intimidating. Then it hits you,, He knows your name.
Reki was now glancing at you and Miya as if wondering if you two knew each other back then. "If you insist, Miya." You grinned, holding your skateboard. Joe was now skating towards the crowd that formed around you 4.
Crowd erupted into loud voices regarding this topic.
"A beef?!"
"With who?"
"Y/n and Miya!"
"seriously? those two? perfect match!"
"Wanna bet?"Reki turned to you, Everyone was now gathering at the starting line. Miya was already warming up near the line and everybody was chatting, The lady was now holding the flag indicating that this whole thing is gonna start in any minute now.
"Are you sure about this? That guy's a candidate for japanese national team..." He asked, his tone, worried. "Yeah? So what?" You furrowed your eyebrows, Looking towards the crowd.
Reki looked panicked that he just unintentionally insulted you. "What? No!!" He tried to reassure you but that only made you burst out laughing. "I can handle myself. I can't promise you I'll win though."

Ready. Set. Go!
Everybody erupted into cheers as the two of you raced down the road. The adrenaline took over you, cockiness written all over your face. There was cameras around this part, And you knew exactly where.
"The freak even installed some more." The thought came across your mind. If you win, Someone will get a scolding. After-all, you're competing against someone that has Adam as his mentor at some point.
You tried to maintain balance as the road gotten more risky. You glanced over at Miya. That one glance, One glance made you slow your pace. He looked empty, Tired, and unhappy.
You brushed the thoughts away and continued fastening your tricks. There was that bumpy road again, Full of big rocks that seems quite deadly, and a ramp.
You drove through the ramp, making an ollie. You landed on a safe area as Miya rode through another ramp, landing on in front of you. He glanced back at you, His smirk once returned. "You're not any good as well, Aren't you?" He joked, Slowing his pace and was now on the same level as you.
"Are you underestimating me?" You asked, Raising an eyebrow. You fastened your pace and was now going further and further away from him. And at one split second he was back at skating beside you.
You scoffed, Looking at him with an annoyed expression. "I guess it was false news that you were as good as me." He said, Smiling at you coldly as if to push your buttons one more time.
"You're quite the pest, Aren't you?" You sighed, There was now the upcoming obstacle. Where you have to use at least 5 tricks to get through. At this point it really made you wonder how Langa made through this part.
There was a huge crack on the road, And no doubt, If you skated through it, you'd fall. Big time. You did a chinese nollie, pushing your skateboard's nose forward.
"Keep looking at me." Miya snickered, Making a backside impossible late flip. He was now in front of you, Making a smug face. "Keep your eyes on me. You'll learned a lot." He added, Fastening his pace. You followed him from behind.
"Oh, Are we showing tricks now?" You asked him in a sweet tone. It was probably a bad idea to do a trick that you're still practicing but, You're too eager.
You did a merlin twist that made you almost fall but honestly, The adrenaline was too strong to do any mistakes. You both were now inside the obstacle place, there was railings, hanging objects that could push you off and send you to the hospital if you done any mistakes.
The atmosphere felt even more suffocating than the last time you went here.
There were holes and broken glass scattered on the floor. You were not just worried for yourself but for him.
Who cares? he's probably went here numerous times.You made an ollie through the stairs, Not touching it. Miya was in front of you, there were a lot of glass. You saw the hanging metal through the side of your eye, It was too close to even dock it.
You felt a push.
Blood on your wrist the moment it touched the ground.
