My Best Friend's Brother / Ross Lynch Love Story

Chapter 5 "Improving & Skateboards"

\Selena's POV/

I wake up seeing the bright sun shining through the window. I sigh and cover my face. I finally get up, put on some black shorts with pink stripe, a gray shirt and socks with my sneakers. I go out of the room and knock on the door.

"IM IN HERE!" the voice says and i recognize it.

"Hurry up, Ross!" I yell.

After about five minutes, he comes out. I groan. He smirks.

"Nice bed head," he says and messes my hair up. I punch him in the gut and he acts like it hurt really badly.

"ow, my soul," he chuckles. "oh shut up," I say. "You first," he replies raising an eyebrow. I shake my head and go in the bathroom and shut the door. I brush my hair, teeth, and go out of the bathroom to the follow the smell of eggs, bacon, and toast.

"mmm smells good," I say and Stormie turns and smiles, "Thanks hon, hope you like them," and passes me a plate with the food.

I start eating and Ryland comments,

"We should go to the park today."

"Yeah!" Ross says and high fives him. Stormie tells us after breakfast so we all start eating really fast and Ross races Ryland out the door. Riker, Rocky, and I follow behind. We see Ellington across from the house waiting.

"Hey guys," he says. Riker begins to question how he knew we were going to the park but then Ry, also known as Ryland, said he texted him. Ross gets his skateboard, or "pennyboard", as it is actually called. He starts skating but then I catch a piggy back ride on Rocky's back.

"Oh my god, I'm gonna break my back. Girl, what did you eat?" he groans laughing.

"Same as you, you goof!" I laugh and point forward comanding him to go faster.

"Beat Ross!" Ellington yells and Rocky runs a bit faster and Ross yells, "Oh hell no" and goes faster on his board. We get to the park but by the time we get there, Rocky is out of breathe.

"Okay, get off now," he laughs while breathing kinda heavily. I get off and give him a pat on the back saying, "Relax Rock."

"I so won," Ross says.

"I HAD EXTRA WEIGHT TO CARRY SO IT WASN'T EVEN FAIR!" Rocky says in defense.

"Are you saying I'm fat?" I question him. Rocky's eyes go wide.

"No, not at all. Nope! No," he says.

"Eh, maybe he was a little," Ross says.

"oooo shit," says Riker. I punch Ross in the chest and say, "watch it ross, for real."

"Okay! God, You are no fun," he says and rides around me in a circle on his board.

"mmhhm," I say and shove him. He loses balance and falls off his board onto the street.

"Ow! Frick!" he says clutching at his elbow.

Riker bends to him and says, "oh god, you okay?"

I roll my eyes, "Don't baby him. He's eighteen and I didn't even hit him hard. It's his fault he fell."

Ross eventually stands up and his elbow is bleeding. Rocky goes into the nearest building, the library, and grabs a tissue and tape. Ross takes it and puts it on his elbow then tapes it. I see Ross sniffle a bit. I start to feel a little bad.

"I"m sorry, Ross. I didn't mean for you to fall," I say trying to make him feel better.

"Nah, it's cool, I deserved that for saying what I said," he says shrugging his shoulders.

He plays with his pennyboard with his feet and then looks up at me,

"Wanna try?" he asks. I am actually shocked. He never lets me touch his stuff or anything. Let alone ride his pennyboard, also known as skateboard, in my opinion.

"Sure," I say. "But I'm going to fall on my face," I laugh.

"Hey, That'll make you guys even!" Ellington says to us with a laugh. I roll my eyes and smile.

"I'll help you," he says and reminds me, "when you get on, hold onto my hands... I would say shoulders but, ya know," he laughs. I smile a little and get on the board and he lets me hold onto his hands.

"There. Now, just glide, I guess," he says and starts walking while I try staying on the board.

"Don't let go. I swear to god, if you do, I will kick your ass," I say.

"I'm not," he says and laughs. He suddenly bends down just a little letting go of my hands. 

"ROSS!" I yell. His eyes go wide and comes back,

"It's okay. It's okay. I got you," he says grabbing onto my waist. I hold onto his shoulders. I smile at him. He looks at me and smiles back.

"Maybe we're getting better at this friends thing," he says.

"Maybe a little. But, I say we still have improving," I say laughing. He chuckles and keeps leading me through the park on the skateboard...excuse me, pennyboard, I mean.

"Guys, look at me!" Riker yells. We look smiling still and he takes a picture.

"Sending to Rydel, Progress is being made here," he laughs. We roll our eyes and keep rolling around the park.
