I threw my bag at the bottom of the stairs, slipped my shoes off and rolled my board into the hallway. Slammed the door then made my way to the kitchen.
It was a long day in school ok? That's all you need to know.
"Where have you been?" I jumped at the sound of my fathers voice.
"Umm, i just went for a quick skate"
"School finishes at 3 and what time do you call this? YOU CALL THIS A QUICK SKATE!?"
I was scared to respond because i knew what he was capable of but that still didn't stop me from opening my mouth
"Maybe i stalled time so i didn't have to come back in this shit hole." I got a bottle of water from the fridge and was about to walk away, until i felt a tight grasp around my wrist pulling me forward.
"Skating is for worthless shits with no future plan" he sharply whispered down my ear
"I haven't raised you like this. You will no longer be skating or you're out of this house"
I felt my cheeks burning.
My fists clutching. Jaw tightening.
Throat closing in. My eyes widen.
Nostrils flaring.
I pull my arm away and grab my skateboard.
"I guess i'm a worthless shit then. No need to kick me out, i know where the door is"
With that i sprint out the house and down the street.
I hop onto my board and swerve corners. The only place i want to be is the skate park, well there and in The X Games but i can keep on dreaming.
You may be thinking 'why did your dad have to react like that?'
Well...
My dad always wanted me to be a nurse or a barrister. He wants me to be the 'best' to finish all my education and get the highest grades. I was trying to do just that until i came to the age of 12 when i realised that it's my life and i don't need to be controlled. So i rebelled and went my own way about it, he just doesn't get the hint. The numerous hints.
---------------------
I carried on skating. I was planning on heading to the skate park but i would get found in a blink of an eye, so i decided to go to the skate park on the other side of town.
----------------------
Wow.
Why did i never come here before?
This place is amazing, if you could see for yourself you would be astonished!
So many different ramps with colourful and creative graffiti. Here there's actual people, actually skating!
In the skatepark in my town you have sluts jerking lads off, scene kids binge drinking and smoking their life away, kids who play football and on occasions cops chasing us down.This right here, is heaven.
I think i've been staring for quite a while seeing as i'm being stared at.
At the corner of my eye i see a group of guys approach me, i stand there as if i haven't noticed them.
"What you doing 'ere?" A blonde guy who looks 17 questions me
I just glare at him.
"You deaf?"
I snigger. How pathetic.
"Shut up man! anyway why are you here? In the nicest way possible" a guy around about my age with sparkling blue or maybe green eyes asked me
"Well why are you here? To skate, right?" I asked back
They all stared for a bit, then burst into laughter.
"You're... you're... a girl!!!!!" The blonde guy screeched out whilst holding onto his stomach.
"Could say the same to you but there's a difference between a girl and a bitch"
He went silent and gave me the 'death look'
"Hmm ok, ok show us what you've got" he snapped
Hopping onto my skateboard,i did tricks from the 360 up to the rail flips.
I feel all eyes on me and thats when i panic. My skateboard slides to the other side of the park and i tumble down the stairs.
Everyone erupts in laughter. I slowly open my eyes, in front of me was a crowd and blood, a lot of it. I see a hand reaching out to me, i desperately attempt to grab it but i'm frozen still, trapped in the floors grasp . I lay there helplessly. The laughter comes to an end. Sirens getting closer and people shouting 'over here'.
My vision turns black and the sounds get muffled. Until i cant hear anymore, i cant feel anything or see whats going on.
My mind shuts down.
