No Regrets

Angelina, Ariana, Jade and I sped down the sidewalk on our longboards, hair blowing in the soft breeze, laughing hard as we avoided people and performed mini tricks when we had the chance. Angie and Jade were leading us, while Ariana and I cautiously followed, laughing till our stomachs hurt, which was fun. When we reached a crosswalk and Jade, being the most daring of us, raced across on her board, leaving us on the other side fearful of the huge post that told you when to walk and stop. It was counting down to one just as Angie, Ariana and I sucked up our wits and raced across in that order.

          Suddenly, when I almost crossed, a black Audi, sped down the road, ignoring the seconds I still had left to cross and didn't slow down or stop just as it passed me, my butt scraped against the side of the car, and the car drag pulling me a few feet into the street and the only thing safe was my board that ditched me and crossed when I was pulled. My friends reached out for me as the Audi swerved away, now noticing me,  but I fell flat on my butt and raced up and out of the street as quick as my sore legs would go with tons of cars honking behind me.

"Shit! What was his problem?" Ariana wiped the dust off my butt and scowled in the direction he drove away in.

"I thought I was gonna get run over, oh my god," I ran a hand through my hair and grabbed my board.

"Wow, feel my heart," Angie grabbed my heart and pressed to her chest, it was beating hard and fast, but not faster than mine.

"That must have been exhilarating!" Jade grinned, and we all gave her a look. "Glad you’re okay babe," She hugged me.

"Whatever, let’s go to Applebee's," I shook my head and we continued on our boards. My heart was still pounding like rapid drum solo.

          We left our boards at the front desk and the waiter took us to a table by a big square window. We took our orders and she seemed to be eyeing us, as if we were idols of some sort.

"Are you ok?" Jade asked her with a slight attitude and we all face palmed ourselves.

"Jade!" Ariana elbowed her.

"What do you mean?" She asked confused and began nervously tapping her foot.

"You’re eyeing us," Jade squinted her dark eyes at her.

"Oh, that, I'm sorry, my boss told me I have this weird look; um I'll get your orders?" As she spoke, she fidgeted and when we were done ordering she rushed away.

"Wow," Jade laughed and we all followed.

"Jade Finnley, What are we gonna do with you?" Angie shook her head with a grin.

"Find me a boyfriend," Jade sighed and sipped the lemonade she ordered.

"Oh, well depends on how desperate you are," Angie smiled with devilish intent.

"Not that desperate, it's just one of those feeling you need to satisfy, you know?" She explained and nodded our heads.

"Well, ask Nichole here, she's the one with the most-desired man," Ariana pointed to me

"He's not most-desired guys," I shook my head and sipped my Pepsi. Today was my cheat day on my diet, which was going extremely well so far.

"Ha!" Jade laughed loudly.

"Seriously? That's why the freshman girls go frantic over him; he's the sexiest guy in our school!" Angie exaggerated.

"You and him are couple of the year! Have you seen the Instagram posts?" Jade sighed bringing up the time where people took pics of me and Ray's PDA and posted it to Instagram titling it 'Couple of The Year'. Which creeped me out more than it was cute.
