Roller coaster 🎢 ~ (Tom Delonge) [Discontinued!]

C H A P T E R O N E

  I woke up to a blaring alarm, I stirred from my deep slumber to whack my alarm clock off my nightstand. As soon as I heard it thump on the carpeted floor I sat up and stretched. I looked around my room, well actually my new room. You see I had recently moved with my mom to Poway Cali, I actually don't really know how I feel about it now that I'm here. Moving here didn't affect me, I never had anything in Iowa that really "anchored" me or made me think twice about moving. I'm pretty antisocial and have pretty mild anxiety, so I didn't make friends, not that it matters. I sighed and got up and walked down stairs to be greeted with my mom passed out on the kitchen floor next to a bottle of red whine. I walked over to a nearby closet and made my way over to the couch to grab a throw pillow. I covered my mom and slid the pillow under her. My mom is tough, she had just divorced my deadbeat dad and she was taking hard. I made breakfast for her and I got dressed soon after. I put on a black shirt with a alien on it saying "strange vibes", black jean shorts with fishnets, a maroon beanie, and to top it off a red and black flannel. I rushed down stairs and headed out towards the back door, on my way I grabbed my skateboard. I wanted to have a nice day today and try and get to know the area that I've moved into, plus it was really nice outside. I was skating down the block for a awhile when I felt hungry, I stopped by a diner to hopefully grab a strawberry milkshake for the road. When I ordered I waited when a boy about my age came through the diner's door with a skateboard. The first thing that I noticed about him was his lip piercing and how cute it looked on him, he also had brown hair that swept to the side and the softest brown looking eyes I've ever seen in my entire life. He turned my way and  smiled at me,
  "You new here?"

I stared at him, it was hard for me to speak for a second
"Uhhhh, yeah I am."
I internally face palmed 'Jesus Christ I'm such an idiot'.

"I figured, I would've recognized a pretty face like yours."

I started to feel intense heat rising up to my cheeks.

He smiled at me and said in an upbeat tone,
"Well welcome to Poway, I'm Tom."

"Thanks, I'm (Y/n)," you paused when you heard your order being called to the counter. You picked up your milkshake and made your way back to the so called, "Tom". You smiled at him and asked if maybe he could show you around sometime.

"Well how about right now?" He held up his skateboard and had this glint of competitiveness in his eyes.

"Oh, you're so fucking on." You gave an open mouthed smile and you both walked out the door.
