I'm standing in front of the school with Skylar waiting for Kyle. Skylar doesn't like skateboarding much but she offered to give Kyle, Margaret and I a ride there since she has dance this afternoon and the skate park is fairly close to the dance studio.
It was a particularly warm afternoon for September but the sun felt nice against my pale skin. Compared to Skylar, I look whiter than a marshmallow. Skylar had been in Mexico for the whole second month of summer break staying in a condo right on the beach. She had soaked up a lot of sun when she was there so she was very tan when she returned.
"Sorry I'm late." says a familiar voice from behind us. Sky and I both turn around to face Kyle. "Hey. How you doing?" asks Kyle glancing at Bethany.
"I'm absolutely fine. You ready to go? Slow poke." I tease as I poke Kyle flirtatiously in the ribs.
Skylar gives me a slightly confused but also curious look.
The three of us hop in Skylar's Suzuki and speed out of the school parking lot.
After picking up Margaret we finally arrive at the skate park. I was about to open the door when Skylar grabs my arm.
"Can I talk to you for a minute?" asks Skylar.
"Sure" I replie as Kyle leads Margaret over to a bench to help her put on her knee pads, elbow pads and wrist guards .
"What's up with you and Kyle?" Asks a very mischievous sounding Skylar who wears a huge grin on her face.
"Wellllllll..." I say letting the suspense sink in to Skylar.
"SPIT IT OUT!" shouts Skylar.
"Well... if you really wanna know. He asked me to the dance!" I proclaim.
"EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" squealed Skylar excitedly.
"Holy crap i think your more excited than I am." I say.
"Well you've only liked him for like FOUR years." says Skylar.
"I better go" I say before Skylar could bombard her with questions. " other wise your gonna be late for dance."
Skylar snaps her eyes to her cars clock. "Shoot your right!" she shouts as I get out of the car. "We shall talk more about this later." she smirks. "See you in two hours"
"Bethany! Bethany! look at me!" Margaret cries happily, as she speeds down a small ramp on her pink scooter.
I run and jump onto my skateboard going down a minor ramp doing a ollie and a kick flip.
"Not bad Bethany. Considering you havn't had much practice this summer." remarks Kyle sarcastically.
"I'm not sure whether to take that as a compliment or an insult." I laugh.
" but your landings are messy." teases Kyle as he lightly pushes me.
"oh is that so?" I say in a challenging tone.
"Half pipe 10 trick dual?"asks Kyle as a smile spread across his face.
"You know it." I confirm.
The half pipe 10 trick dual was something Kyle and I had made up when we were younger and had an argument about who was a better skateboarder. Basically you go on the half pipe and you have to attempt 10 tricks. Different tricks are worth different amounts of point. In the end who ever has the most points wins.
As we head over towards the half pipe I motion for Margaret to follow us.
Kyle and I went to the top of the half pipe which is covered in bright graffiti. While Margaret goes and sits on a grassy area next to it to drink her apple juice box.
"I'll go first" states Kyle. He putx one foot on the back of his board and then pushes off gliding rapidly down the ramp. He did a kick-flip and then a heel-flip. After Kyle had done his 10 tricks he does a ollie to land on the top of the half pipe beside Bethany.
"Your turn" smirks a content Kyle.
I did a few decent tricks and then decide I'll try a trick I'd been working on before the summer. As I came up on the half pipe I went to attempt the trick. I thought I had it down but then I slightly lose my grip on the board. Everything seems to be moving in slow motion, as I fumble trying to position the board right but it slips forward. The board hits the ramp and my left foot just catches the back of the board sending me tumbling across the rough ground.
A sudden sharp pain shoots through my leg as it collides with the cement making a deathly crunching noise. Yelping in pain, I don't attempt to get up after I stop rolling. I just stay there lying on the ground in a heap of skin and bones. The pain is almost unbearable as I allow many warm tears fall freely down my face. Feeling woozy and light headed I start to drift away from consciousness. I see Kyle's panic stricken face briefly. And then everything goes dark as I completely lose consciousness and am sucked into a deep dark black hole of nothingness.
