Skater Girl

The Bus and The Ex...

Okay I shall see you soon! - Jxx

I send the message and quickly sprint upstairs to get to my room. Going too fast I stumble on the last step and land flat on my face. Ouch...! I pull myself up and open my wardrobe doors to reveal the lovely amount of clothes I have. My eyes lay on a tee-shirt with 'Sk8 4 Life' written on it. I rip it out and then go for the cute high waisted shorts, sheer black tights with a couple of holes but it really doesn't matter, black cat socks and my converse. I feel complete! I stuff some clothes into a bag and snatch up my skateboard and slide down the banister and onto the landing, quite possibly waking everyone up,

"Jadeeeeee! What the friggen hell are you doing?!" my now very pissed off mother is screaming at me,

"Its alright mum, I'm fine, bye!" I shout back and launch out the door and gate.

The ground feels a bit bumpy underfoot and the bus stop is only half a kilometre away which is good. As the bus comes to a stop, I see a person in the distance running towards it,

"Uh excuse me sir," I say to the driver, "I think there is a guy running to get to the bus." He nods his head and I take a seat up the back. The guy gets on and he's puffing his lungs out. The guy looks familiar. Oh that guy is my ex. I sit closer to the window and pretend I'm minding my own business and just hope like hell he doesn't come up near me. I haven't seen him since I broke off our short term relationship, but he still loved me all the same. My phone buzzes and I check it. Courts is on my case on where I am,

Oi woman we r waitn 4 u! - Cxx

Alrighty O be there soon! - Jxx

"Jadeeeeee!" Kyle shouts. I look up to the goden hazel eyes I once used to never stop gazing into, the killer physique of this boy was impeccable, along with everything else. Shame he just had to go and kiss that other girl,

"Hi," I say with a fake cheery smile, "How are you? Geez its been a while!"

"Good thanks and you? And yeah most definitely has..." He says with a laugh then trails off,

"I'm pretty good I guess," I reply smiling. Annnnnddd there's the awkward silence. I cringe slightly before Kyle opens his mouth again,

"Hey can I just say in person, I'm sincerely sorry. I know how much you loved me and I feel like a total asshole for doing what I did..."

"Kyle you don't need to explain yourself okay? Apology accepted, you did what you did and neither of us can change that now, I'm happier off with my new boyfriend and I'm sure you're happy with your new girlfriend I assume, so seriously, stop stressing yourself over it." Being direct and straight forward is one of my great qualities that can sometimes lead to disappointment,

"Oh. New boyfriend?" His face drops and he can't look me in the eyes, "I love you Jade. I really do. I regret doing what I did and I was so oblivious to the fact that I'd done it."

"Well we might still be together if you had've used that small mind of yours to think before you acted." I push the button to get off the bus and storm out the doors with a blunt 'thanks' to the bus driver. That's when the water works start. My vision is so unclear I have to stop walking. Wait. Walking. I forgot my skateboard. A whole wave of shock hits my body and that's when I start running, running with tears in my eyes and the hope the bus is at the next stop. I close my eyes to wipe them for a second, and I slam into someone and fall onto the ground,

"Sorry! Oh my gosh I didn't see where I was going..." That's when I realise who I'm talking to, and he's holding my board.

"You left something behind..." He drops it and gets back on the bus. I'm completely speechless and still in shock. I pick up my board and on it is a small piece of paper with a scribbled phone number on it. I feel really bad now. But really, should I?
