One day, Justin comes home with a skateboard. He hands it to me. "Come on! I'm gonna teach you how to ride it." My eyes get wide. "Ok!" I say, jumping up from the couch and getting my sneakers on. I grab the skateboard off of the coffee table.
We go to the abandoned parking lot behind the old warehouse to practice. "First, you run fast and then jump on it." I do what Justin tells me, but I end up landing on my butt. "It's ok. Not everyone's gonna get it on the first try. Try again."
I try, and this time I make it. "I'm riding it!" "Now move your legs to make the skateboard move from side to side." "I'm doing it!" I squeal. "Now stop like you would on a scooter." I stop and get off. I grab my skateboard and walk over to Justin.
"Thank you for teaching me how to ride a skateboard." I kiss him on the cheek. "No problem shawty." He replies, kissing me. We walk hand in hand back home.
