Chapter Two
Finn and I lazily lay on the roof for what seemed like hours. Our fingers laced together, gazing at the clouds. I felt my iPhone vibrate in my pocket. I sat up and read it. 'Im at the skate park, u and Finn wanna come ? - Stevie' read the message. "Wanna go to the skate park with Stevie?" I ask Finn. He happily nods. We climb onto the large thick branch on the oak tree towering my garden. From there, we jump down. I run into the garage and grab my backpack and skateboard. Finn picks his skateboard up from where he left it; leaning on the wall next to the front door. We both slowly walked towards the skate park, chatting and laughing, our hands once again laced together.
When we arrived at the skate park we saw Stevie strumming away on her guitar, her skate board lay beside her. She was wearing a wonderful outfit, like she always does; a white jumper with 'CATS' written on it, a red beanie, black jean shorts and blue Nike trainers. She signalled for us to come over to her, so we did. I slowly picked up the guitar from her skinny lap and began strumming some notes; "I would walk through the desert, walk down the aisle, swim all the seas just to see you smile, I would run a thousand miles, I would steal the Mona Lisa, just to make you happy with who I am, when you kiss me, when you touch me I get the shivers and it makes me quiver..." I sang in perfect melody. Finn grinned and kissed my cheek; that was our song. Every year we're together I add another verse to the song. Eight verses means eight years. "I love you." I murmur. Stevie sits there awkwardly, watching us. Stevie slips the guitar off my lap and places it back in its case, she then picks up her board and gets on one of the ramps. Finn and I excitedly join her, scrambling tour feet and grabbing our boards.
We were at the skate park the whole day. Me and Stevie had a highest flip contest, it was a tie, we managed the exact same hight, scary. I hugged Stevie and we all walked home. When we got to my house Finn kissed me goodbye then he ran down the street to his house. I slipped my key out my pocket and opened the house door. "Hi mom, hi dad." I greet my parents. "Aww boo bear you grazed your wittle knee!" Dad teases, when I was a kid and I was learning to skateboard I always grazed my knees, mom always bandaged me up with spongebob band-aids and dad would make me a strawberry and banana smoothie. I loved it, minus the grazed knees part. I ran upstairs and put my stuff in the den then undressed. I stood there in my underwear looking thought the closet in the den - my pyjama/lazy clothes closet. I pulled out Hollister running shorts and a Star Wars t-shirt. I kicked off my shoes, took off my make up then plodded downstairs. "Want a snack, ma'am?" Mr. Louisiana asked me. "Uhh... A chicken and cucumber wrap and a cookie?" I asked in a weird high-pitched voice. He nodded then began making my food. I sat in my seat, the big leather recliner with a build it cup holder on the left arm rest. Mr. Louisiana immediately came back with my food, he slid a smoothie into the cup holder and handed me a plate with my wrap and my cookie. "Thanks!" I called to him. I took a sip of my drink, raspberry and pineapple, delicious. I took a bite of my wrap and smiled as the flavour e plodded in my mouth.
We were siting watching The Simpsons when we heard a car pull up outside. They unlocked the door and ran inside. "Marley!" I screamed running and hugging her. Marley, my older sister has been away for a week on a trip to an outdoor centre with the high school seniors, I was so jealous. "No offence but you smell like fish and your clothes are dirty and wet." I admitted. "We went fishing then swimming in the lake then we got straight on the bus." She explained. She hugged mom and dad then she said "G'night!" And she ran upstairs. I finished my food and my smoothie then went upstairs. I climbed into the den and looked at the stars throughout the window. It looked amazing. I yawned then my eyelids began to feel very heavy, I stumbled into my room, into bed and I gazing through my other window until I eventually fell asleep.
