Salem x Devland

Chapter 9

Salem's POV
I woke up and remembered that I was suspended from school. I should go to the skate park. Ok yes I can skateboard but I also have a friend that's homeschooled and she goes there everyday. Actually I haven't been there in a while. Last time I went was like a month ago. Yea. She should be there. She's always there. If she isn't I'll just stay by myself and interact with no one. I hate human interaction.

I got dressed and went downstairs. My mum looked kind of stressed. "Good morning mom. Are you ok?" I asked. "No I'm really pissed at your sister" she said. Oh I forgot about all that. "Oh right" I said. I finally noticed the time. My mom should be leaving by now. "Ok honey I have to go. Are you ok staying here or do you wanna come with me?" My mom asked. "I'm fine here. I'm gonna go to the skate park for a bit but I'll lock up the house. I promise" I said. "Oh that's why you're wearing your Vans. Well stay safe. I love you. Bye" she said. "Love you too mom. Bi" I said as she walked out the door after kissing me on the forehead.

Time skip to when Salem is walking to the skate park~

I was walking to the skate park and carrying my skateboard. My skateboard is kind of old but Mania painted it. The top has black and blue checkers and the bottom says Skate or Die. And the die part is in red and she made it look like it was blood. I'm listening to I'm Just A Kid by Simple Plan on repeat. I've always liked this band. Fun fact they actually made the theme song for what's new Scooby-Doo. I don't know why you need to know that or if you even wanted to know that. But I just told you. So now you know an actual band made the song for a tv show. I mean MCR made a song for Yo Gabba Gabba and Fall Out Boy made a song for Bug Hero 6 and Brendon Urie made a song for Frozen 2. Wait what am I talking about. Ok I'm just getting off track. I'm almost at the skate park anyways.

I made it to the skate park and I didn't see Mania there. Ok Mania isn't her actual name that's just her nickname. Her real name is Blair and she's fucking awesome. But she is tough. And I mean really fucking tough. She will beat the fuck out of you if you mess with her friends or family. I just decided to start skating and that's when some random kids walking towards me. I just casually skated away and acted like I didn't see them. As stated before I don't like human interaction.

I've been skating for about 10 minutes so I stopped to change my song. That's when someone approached me. I looked up from my phone and it was the kids that were walking towards me earlier. Fuck. There were 2 of them and they looked about 13 or 14. "Hey" one said. I smiled awkwardly and said "hi" "how old are you?" One of them asked. Since I don't know their names I'll just say kid 1 and 2. "Is that what you came over here for?" I questioned. "Well you look like you're in college" kid 2 said. I do not. "And you look like you should be in school" I said back.

Why am I being so confident?

Kid 1 sighed and said "well you just looked like a good skater so I wanted you to teach us some tricks" "if you can't skate why are you here..at a skate park?" I asked. Kid 2 scoffed. I could tell he was a bratty kid. "We can skate it's just tha-" "no I know you guys can't skate because I was watching you guys you were just walking around holding your skateboards and why would you ask me to teach you if you already can?" I said. They both looked really angry. Honestly they looked enraged, like they were about to attack me. They were about to throw a punch when I heard someone scream.

"Hey" I heard someone yell from behind me. I turned around to see Mania. The kids instantly ran away when they saw her. I knew they couldn't skate. Mania ran over to me and said "sup man. Don't mind those kids. They'll leave you alone knowing you're with me. I beat the shit out of them one time for picking on a little girl" "who isn't afraid of you?" I asked jokingly. I have to admit. That girl can fight. And I don't just mean like fist fight I mean she will put you in a coma if you did something really bad. She's just really strong.

Me and Mania have been skating for about an hour now. I forgot how much I like skating. I should skate to school more often. That would be nice. "Well I gotta get home. I got school work to do" Mania said as she was standing up. "Wait why aren't you at school?" She asked before I could say ok. "Oh I was suspended for fighting" I said. She smiled a bit and said "well some people would be mad but at least you're standing up for yourself" "yea. He deserved it. He stole my book" I said. "Wow" she said. She knows how much I care about that book. And now it's not even a book. "Well I'm gonna go home" she said kicking up her skate board and catching it. "Ok. Same" I said. We said our goodbyes and parted separate ways.

I was on my skate board going home when I suddenly felt that I needed to stop. I don't know why something in my gut just told me to stop. I just felt it in my jellies. I stopped and kicked up my skate board and caught it. I looked at my phone everything was fine. As the feeling started to go away I felt someone tap me on the shoulder. I raised my skate board in the air ready to hit whoever was behind me. "Woah lower the board dude".

Wait a damn minute...........
