Lyricals POV

All I could do was smile as I laid on my bed. School went better than planned today, at my previous school I would only receive name calling from bullies and a couple of greetings from teachers when they had the effort to pretend to care. Hell I think I might even be excited to go back tomorrow.

There was a knock on my door.

"Yah"

The door opened and Antonio came in.

"Hey how did it go with that chick you asked out?", I asked with curious face. He wore an expression I couldn't read.

"It was good.. but weird", he frowned like he was confused and sat on my bed.

"Okay.. Define weird", I said sitting up too.

"Well, it was good because no one actually said anything so I assume she didn't tell anyone but before the bell went for lunch, she told me to meet her by the gym", he looked at me.

I nodded and waited for him to continue.

"So I did and uhh", he stopped but I nodded more vigorously urging him to go on.

"She gave me a BJ", he said.

"Ewww! What the fuck Antonio"

He laughed and I punched him softly.

"I'm just kidding. She kissed me and said she was sorry"

"Oh wow. So are you guys like, what do you call it, an item now or?"

"That's the thing! I don't know she just left me there"

"Wow that is weird. Did you try talking to her after that?"

"I was going to but she never turned up to class after that"

"Ok that's super weird."

"I know"

He sat there lost in thought but then quickly looked back at me.

"Oh I came in here to ask if you wanted to come with me and Lucas to the skatepark?"

"Why? What's at the skatepark?", I asked.

"Nothing, it's just like a thing everyone does. Mine and Lucas's friends are gonna be there", he shrugged.

If I go I'll probably be the third wheel so I decided not to.

"Nah", I said to him and he nodded.

"Okay well we're leaving in half n hour if you change your mind", he got up to leave but I stopped him at the door.

"Hey Ant, you know you can talk to me about girl trouble right? No matter how weird it is I'm probably the best person to come to", I offered him and he smiled at me.

"I know. Thanks Lyrical", he said before closing the door.

I laid back down and put my headphones in my ears once again listening to Carpenters. All the old music I listen to now is the music I grew up listening to because of my mum. That was before she changed of course. After she changed, my music taste had somehow changed to old rock and punk rock.

The song was interrupted by a text message from Alex.

"Come 2 the sk8park l8r"

I got up and started fixing myself up making sure I looked somewhat decent again.

"Antonioo!", I sang loudly as I opened my door dramatically.

"Whaat?", he terribly sang back.

I walked in the direction of his voice and into the dining room where him and Lucas were eating last nights leftover pizza.

"I changed my mind I'm coming with you guys", I stated and sat down with them grabbing a slice.

Lucas grabbed his skateboard and Antonio had his bike. I, on the other hand had nothing so I jumped on the back of Antonio's bike.

We made it to the skatepark and I was surprised to see the place only consisted with little kids on scooters and their parents. I expected them to stop and say something like 'no ones here let's go' but they carried on. We rode through the entire skate park and I was seriously confused.

"Where are we going?", I asked.

"To the skate park", Antonio said bluntly like I was stupid or something.

"We literally passed straight throu-"

"The old one", Lucas said.
