Infinate snowfall.

Frozen in time.

I intently stared at my phone, my heart was beating out of my chest. I watched Langa with a focused gaze, the anticipation of who'll win, Langa or Adam, was killing me. I knew deep down inside me that if Langa couldn't beat him, nobody could. After all Langa was the best, he's by far the best skater I've ever met. I mean, he beat me after just a few months of skating, so of course he's the best.

Suddenly, Langa came speeding around the corner and started skating in my direction, a smile plastered on his face as he began to speed up toward the finishing line. Of course he was happy about this, no matter how many times I'd previously advised him not to he's always wanted to skate against Adam, and he didn't even care about winning, he did this for fun. His smile had me subconciously smiling, even though I knew it wasn't me out there skating, I wanted Adam to lose, because deep down I knew I could never win against Adam.

BANG. Before I could even finish my train of thought, Langa came crashing into me. He won. HE WON?! ''Reki!'' He exclaimed. It took me a moment to process his win, but as I did, I blinked rapidly and a large smile filled my face. ''Langa! You won!! You did it, you beat Adam!!'' I smiled and hugged him as we lay on the foor after he crashed into me. Suddenly, Joe, Cherry, Miya and Shadow had surrounded us, they were laughing and clapping and practically cheering. Each one of them expressing just how proud they were of Langa. It felt weird to hear them act like this, they're never usually this engrossed in the outcome of a race that wasn't their own. Langa smiled as they all yelled their words of praise, even though I wasn't the one who won or the one who was getting praised, and I knew I'd never be, I still felt happy for Langa. I mean he actually won, he won a race against Adam. THE Adam. Of course I was proud. Heres the thing though, deep deep DEEP down, I felt this burning hot white pit in my stomach, before today I couldn't quite put my finger on what it was, but I've finally realised what it is. Jealousy. Envy.

''Reki?'' I swear when I first heard him, his voice was muffled, my expression blank as I stared at a wall plastered with graffiti. ''REKI!!'' I snap out of it. I shake my head and focus on Langa's face, his expression was all weird, he looked... worried? ''Oh- Sorry, I spaced out..'' I practically muttered that under my breath, feeling terrible for spacing out when Langa was supposed to be the centre of attention, it was HIS big win, now the attention was on me. I wanted to die right then and there. ''Are you alright?'' Langas soft voice broke through the silence after I spoke, his words cooling down the hot white pit of jealousy in my stomach. ''Yeah, I'm fine. Don't worry about me, lets focus on you. You won against Adam!! THE Adam!!'' I put on a faux over-exaggerated excited tone to hype everyone up and take the subject off me.

Everyone suddenly starts acting all overexcited with me, practically cheering as they laugh and clap and congratulate Langa for his win. The pit deep down in my stomach suddenly burned hotter and the jealousy grew and grew as the congratulations roared over my own thoughts. ''Hey, it's getting late and my mom is probably worried about me, yours too Langa, we should go.'' Langas head suddenly perks up and he looks at me, ''Can I stay over yours tonight Reki?'' He says as we both stand up and dust off our pants, considering we were both just sitting on the floor. ''Uh, sure.'' I put on another one of my faux smiles. ''Bye guys, come on Langa.'' I walk away, Langas footsteps echoing behind me as he follows me to the moped. I hop on the moped and put my helmet on, holding out Langas helmet so that he can put it on before he climbs on. ''Come on.'' 

Langa had 0 hesitation to hop onto the back of the moped, holding onto my sides as I start the engine and start driving off, heading towards my house, our skateboards in the skateboard bag that was attached on the moped. As I drove, I couldn't help but overthink about my feelings towards Langas win and how I felt I was being rude and selfish about the whole situation. Eventually, we made it to my place. I turned off the engine and hopped off the moped, undoing my helmet as Langa mirrored my actions. ''You sure it's cool if I spend the night?'' He said as I rake around in my pockets for my house keys. ''Yeah, my mom loves you at this point, as long as your mom is cool with it you can stay.'' I bring back my classic faux smile and unlock the frontdoor, as I walk in I announce to my mom ''Langas spending the night!''. Before she can approve or deny him staying the night I grab Langas arm and bring him to my room, sliding the door shut behind us as I let go of his arm and let him settle down on my bed.

''You need to borrow my pyjamas again?'' I smile at Langa and open my closet, raking around to look for some pyjamas for myself before taking out my usual long sleeved pyjama top and my usual red tartan pyjama pants. Langa looks up at me from the bed and nods. ''Yeah, I'll need pyjamas, if you don't mind and have some to spare?'' I smile, this time actually meaning it. I then take the pair of pyjamas that I usually get out when Langa sleeps over, the white plain t-shirt with the dark blue tartan pants. ''Here you go.'' I hand Langa the pyjamas. ''I'll change in the bathroom, you can change in here and just yell through as soon as you're done.'' I smile again and walk into my bathroom, locking the door behind me, getting changed whilst in there.

''I'm done!'' I hear Langa call out from my room, so I come back through, now in the pyjamas I had taken out. I then look at Langa, he's now also wearing the pyjamas that I'd taken out. ''What time is it?'' I look at Langa as I ask this. He takes out his phone and checks the time: ''1:18 AM.'' Langa smiles as he puts his phone back down on the bed. ''You wanna go to sleep now or stay up and talk?'' I look at Langa as he says that. ''I'm not tired, we can stay up, what do you wanna talk about?''
