She's that skater

Chapter 6- Cover up

"There you are!!!!"

I was afraid to look up.

"Where was you? I was looking everywhere for you! At least you're ok now. You are ok aren't you?"

I instantly knew who it was so i automatically hugged him and exploded with tears

"I don't know what to do anymore" i cry out

He rubs my back, calming me down

"Maybe you should come back home? Mum is planning on starting a search tomorrow!"

Is he being serious? i give him the 'look'

"Eric i can't and i won't!!!"

He tells me to stop being selfish and stubborn.

"Why won't anyone understand me? all i'm trying to do is achieve my dreams!!"

" Achieve your dream? if you want to be another bum on the street, you're going the right way about it!"

Great. The kids in my school, my mum, my dad and now my brother.

Tears sting in the corner of my eyes.

I bite the inside of my cheeks to try and stop myself from crying even more.

I do the only thing that i've been doing all day so far and run.

"Taylor you can't just keep running away from your problems!"

"Watch me"

----------------

Passing a random church around the corner from 'heaven' (aka, the skatepark i found today) i notice a clock

10:38pm

What am i supposed to do for the rest of the night?

I sit on a curved ramp and think. Thinking about if i was more confident then my life would be different. Completely different.

If i was confident then i wouldn't get bullied. I wouldn't run away from my problems, i would actually face them. I would tell people how i feel about them. That's what i'm lacking. Confidence. If i was confident then i could enter the X Games

Nevermind.

With confidence or not, it's impossible.

I'm a girl.

Lying back, i count the stars. One star stands out to me, i don't know what it is about it, but i like it.

It's beautiful!

Glimmer.

That's what i shall call the star, Glimmer.

By looking at Glimmer i felt like i could let my mind set free, weird i know... don't judge me ok?

You could enter the X Games if you really want to Taylor. There are ways, you just need to play the role well.

Are you in?

Once you're in with the plan you have to play the part right. NO mistakes!

There was a voice in the back of my head. Every time i look away from Glimmer, the voice disappears. Now call me crazy but it's true, i promise you.

Responding to the question, i simply nod.

Be a boy. They don't need to know your true identity until the end.

Prove them wrong.

Prove them all wrong.

"Having a nap are we?"

My heart leaps out of my ribcage through my skin. I swear i was alone!

"What you still doing 'ere?" A husk voice questions me

Blonde dude.

You remember that boy from earlier on the day? Bitch boy? yeah, it's him.

"I'm uh sorry by the way"

I laugh at him and sit up. He skates down from the top of the ramp to where i am and sits next to me

"Beautiful night isn't?"

"Why are you doing this?"

"Doing what? being nice? well its the least i can do after today... yes i'm a douche at first but thats just...never mind. I'm sorry" he says whilst looking down fiddling with his fingers

I turn to face him and deeply sigh

"But that's just what? if you're going to start a sentence you might as well finnish it!" i snap

"Its nothing"

"You're hiding something!"

"Why do you care anyway?"

"Ay don't turn this around on me!"

"Just leave it"

"You brought it up"

"IT'S JUST A COVER UP"

I covered my face thinking he was going to punch me and slightly jump at every word he screams out.

So he's a douche because it's a cover up....

A cover up for what?
