        The sun set as I skated down the streets aimlessly.  My head was crammed with so many thoughts and stresses in my life; the only way to clear it was skating.  My beaten up skateboard was rolling down the pavement as I stared blankly at the ground trying to sort out my head.  Suddenly my front wheels hit a dent in the street and I flew forward.  I skidded onto my side and painfully hit my ankle on the ground.   I groaned slowly and checked for any broken bones.  My beanie and phone were scattered on the street and my board was slowly rolling to a stop near my feet.  My bare knees were cut up and the left sides of my legs were skinned off. 

        “Shit,” I said to myself.  I was about to grab my beanie off the ground when I heard someone coming up behind me.  Before I could turn around a dark figure skated by and took off with my phone.

        “Hey!” I yelled out and grabbed my board and went after him.  “Wait!  Stop!” I yelled.  I was skating as fast as I could but all I could hear was the boys taunting laughter.  I could feel the anger and stress seeping out of me as I caught up to him.  With one powerful motion I jumped towards the boy toppling both of us off our boards.  I landed on top of him and grabbed my phone from his hand.  I raised my clenched fist ready to leave a shiner on his face when he grabbed my wrist and stopped me. 

        “Hey, hey!  I’m sorry!!!!  Calm down,” he said.  The boy had messy jet black hair covered by a red beanie and tan skin with big brown eyes.  I yanked my hand away and hovered over his face. 

“You’re lucky I’m not going to call the police,” I said with a menacing look, shoving myself off of him.
