last night we finished watching the conjuring and the shining, sometime during the latter i fell asleep, now corinna was in front of us calling our names and shaking our bodies. i woke up first and stretched my legs which were squashed under finn. before he woke up with a loud groan.

"how the hell do two people fall asleep while watching horror movies?" she questioned while giving us weird looks.

"i don't know, but why are we awake it's too early." finn groaned, he had a groggy morning voice which was really different to how he normally sounded, but it was quite nice.

"well actually its 2pm, we don't have anything planned today so you are free to do whatever. i was just fed up of only having one sofa cushion so i decided you should wake up." she said poking her tongue out at me as i gave her a stare.

"wow you're so caring." i say sarcastically while walking to the bedroom and collapsing onto my bed.

after liking a few pictures of dogs on instagram i saw a skating video. it reminded me that i hadn't been on my skateboard for a while so i decided to start looking for it.
after a while of looking i still couldn't find it, so i did what i always do and went to ask corinna. she was on the sofa talking to finn so i quickly jumped into their conversation and asked her. 

"have you seen my skateboard recently? i remember packing it but i didn't unpack it." i looked at her as she was thinking and then finn started to talk.

"you skate too?" he questioned and sounded shocked. i was about to respond before corinna jumped up - "i've seen it in my room, one second." she walked out of the room and i took her spot on the sofa.

"yeah i spent all my summer holidays at the skatepark in 2013." i answered his question as i remembered whenever i fell off emalee would run over to me and try to take me to the hospital.

"i started learning from a young age, my friends who were older than me at home taught me." he stopped speaking once corinna walked back in holding the board above her head. i walked over and thanked her as i took it into my room and to get shoes when i saw finn walk past.

"hey finn," i called out and he walked into my room, "do you want to come skating with me?" i offered and spun one of the wheels with my hand. 

"yeah i'll go get my board." he replied and walked out. i nodded and took my phone out of my pocket before we left to go to the skatepark. 

"how far is it?" he questioned and raised his eyebrows. "about 10 minutes away, probably sooner on the boards." i replied. 

"corinna we're going out skateboarding!" i called to the empty house. i heard a faint noise which i assumed was her response, so we walked out and began skating around the neighbourhood.

i got my phone out and i recorded it as we sped down the empty streets in the road, he looked to me and he made a face to the camera. "oh wait i think the skatepark was down that road." i said as i made my board come to a stop. i opened maps and i was right, we skated back and eventually got to the ramps.

i made my way onto them doing flips and spins and all other kinds of skateboarding things, until i tried to do a specific trick i was always a bit rusty at, which resulted into me falling flat on my ass.

i let out a sigh and stood up, finn realised i went down and he came over to help me. "are you alright?" he questioned looking at me seriously. i nodded, "yeah i just messed up my footing, i'll probably just have a bruise on my ass or something." i laughed it off and took his outstretched hand, helping me get back up. instead of going straight back home we decided we were hungry so we made our way to the store.

i made my way through the store following finn as he seemed to know the layout of this store. we found the snacks and i picked up a pack of malteasers, "i thought these were only sold in the uk!" i happily skipped through the isle, which caused finn to laugh at me because a man was watching the whole time, once i realised i stared at the floor, grabbing finn and making a b-line for the drinks. i grabbed two bottles of water and we went to pay.

we skated back to the park and sat under a tree while eating our food, talking about random things like when he learnt to play guitar and how much my piano teacher hated me. then i had an idea.

"we should sing together." i blurted out, i don't know where the idea came from but i know that he is is very musically talented so there was no reason not to.

"that would be amazing, i didn't know you that you sing?" he questioned. i laughed and remembered when emalee first heard me singing in the shower and she really overreacted, we filmed a video to post but she got shy and told me not to. even though she is an amazing singer.

"well when i was young my dad constantly played the music channels and i guess i picked it up." i stated while getting up and throwing our rubbish in the bin. "anyway let's get back to corinna and show her we haven't died on our adventure to get food and skate." i say with a chuckle and he laughs too as we head back to the apartment, doing some more tricks on our way.

"corinna we're home!" he calls out as we walk into the door. she comes out of the kitchen with an apron on and i look at her quizzically. 

"what are you cooking?" i question, hoping its her famous brownies. 

"brownies." she states with a smile and she dusts some of the ingredients off of her hands onto her apron. i let out a yelp of excitement and punch the air before going to put my skateboard away.

i was lying on my bed again texting my mum and dad and telling them what i've been up to, then finn came into my room. "so do you want to film a video of us singing and we can put it on instagram or something?" he questioned. i nodded at the idea, although subconsciously i was nervous for the reaction people would have.

"if you want to we can do it now?"  he nodded went to get changed so i set up the camera and microphone. during the process corinna informed me that she was going to the shops because we were short of a few ingredients, so we were alone in the house. after she left finn walked in, he changed out of his white vans shirt to a plain black one. i was wearing a white top and a denim jacket over the top.

"so what song are we doing?" he questioned. i thought for a while and i couldn't come up with any ideas. 

"i've had the chain stuck in my head for ages, i know how to play it on guitar." he states and i nod. 

"yes its one of my favourite songs!" i agree and pull up the lyrics just incase we get lost.

(this video was kinda my idea for this"

we finish singing and we end the video, "that went so well." i say and take the sd card out of the camera. we messed up halfway through the first take and i sounded a bit pitchy the second time but the third went well.

"you weren't lying when you said you could sing." he complimented which caused my cheeks to blush a rosy colour.

"thank you, you sounded amazing though!" i smiled. 

after listening back to the footage i realised our voices compliment each other really well, the raspiness off finn's voice fits with the smoothness of mine. after a while of editing the software decided to crash so i ended up drifting off to sleep rather than finishing it.




(sorry i messed up the posting schedule i'll get back on top of it, i have so much revision to do so pray for me.)
