"Now here's 5 Seconds of Summer, She Looks So Perfect." My radio tells me. "YESS!" I shout at the top of my lungs. Billy and Eric groan. "What? Just because one of my best mates is in the band, suddenly means I can't be supportive?" I ask.

"Who would you know in 5 Seconds of Summer?" Billy snorts. "Well for your information egg head, I know THE Michael Clifford." I smirk. "Hey! I like my buzz cut." He pouts. "Aw. You're a cutie even without the hair." I wink and press on the break. He kisses my cheek as the stoplight turns green. "I love you." He smiles. "I love you too." I giggle.

"OH MY GOD WOULD YOU TWO STOP FLIRTING?! Concentrate on driving! God.." Eric rolls his eyes. "Yeah Billy stop flirting with me." I chuckle. "Okay. New rule. NO TEASING POOR BILLY!" Billy shouts.

"Whatever." I roll my eyes and pull into the parking lot of the new skatepark they just opened up.

A bunch of punky posers are loitering. "Don't even look at them." Billy sighs. I shrug and set my board down. I can hear them talking about my prosthetic but I ignore them.

I warm up by skating back and forth, then I hit the little ramps. My leg isn't acting up anymore, but I'm having a little trouble. Afterall, this is kind of my first time back on my skateboard after the accident.

"Huh. There's a cripple riding a skateboard!" One of those punks sneers. I think nothing of it.

"Hey Saph." Billy says, skating up. "Yeah?" I ask. "Go show those posers who's the real master." He grins.

I wink and go to the biggest half pipe in the park. If I fall, I don't have much more to lose.

I start doing 360s and pulling off other moves. I even pull off an allie on a rail.

I skate back to Billy, breathing slightly harder.

"That, was epic." He grins, hugging me.

"I didn't know you had that in you Saph." Eric laughs. I knock him in the back of the head, earning a whine of protest.

"Hey you!" One of the punks points to me. "Over here now."

"Saph." Billy says in a warning tone. "I got this." I reply, walking up. "What could you possibly want?" I snap at those sickos.

"You. Me. Dinner at 7." The guy who appears to be the leader of the pack. "In your dreams." I roll my eyes, walking away.

"Yeah! Go run back to your goodie two shoes Disney star boyfriend when you could have me." He snaps. I decide to do something really risky.

I turn around and flip him off. Then I return to my best friends, who were laughing hysterically. "He totally retreated like a hyena in a fight with a lion!" Eric giggles. "I can't believe you actually flipped him off." Billy says with an amused smirk plastered on his face.

I just smile and we return to my truck. I get a call from Michael Clifford just as we get in, so i answer it.

"Jello?" I ask. "Hi Saphira." He says. "Hey you. How is your fine arse today?" I ask in a teasing tone. "Good. How about you?" He asks. "I saw a few mega punks while I was at the skatepark today." I start.

"Worse than me?" Michael asks. "Worse than all four of you guys combined otherwise I wouldn't say anything." I grin.

"So what happened?" He asks, in a sort of testing tone.

"One of them tried to ask me out, then got mad when I rejected him, insulted my boyfriend, so then I flipped the bird." I say and he bursts into laughter.

"Only you." He chuckles. "So you want to know a funny story?" I ask. "Sure." He replies. "Billy and Eric don't think I really know you." I tell him.
