I was bored

There was nothing to do and it was only 9:00am, the boys only got out at 5:00pm because of after school dance activities with Mr Cho.

I spent most of the day on my phone and in the kitchen. By 12:00am I decided that I would go out to the skateboard park to pass the time, it was easy for me to get consumed by the activity and therefore I would lose track of time. I'm not sure why I didn't think of it before, I could have saved myself tons of time. My outfit consisted of a grey sleevless shirt and denim shorts with black converse shoes.

The ride there was short and pleasant as there were hardly any cars around, I passed a few shops that I thought I might stop at on my way back for snacks. The entire park was made of concrete and included metal ramps, planks, bars and stairs throughout the area to create a skatboarders paradise

The park was mostly empty because of school, but I preferred when it was empty so I had all the space to myself. I took out my earphones and connected them to my phone, put the music on shuffle play and focused on perfecting small stunts before working my way to the bigger ones.

The seconds turned into minutes and the minutes turned into hours and before I knew it, it was 4:30pm

More kids had come over time as school ended. The park was half full by 4:30 and the numbers were slowly growing. It started to get to crowded to do proper stunts so I turned to leave, having had my fair share of fun for the day

The streets were quiet because of the post-rush hour as I made my way back home, so since there was no one around I picked up my pace slightly. I rounded a corner at a fast speed and...

SLAM!

I hit someone and fell off my board hitting my back and head hard on the concrete sidewalk. I brought my hand to the back of my head and rubbed the spot I had hit while groaning. I lay there wincing for a few seconds before sitting up, feeling a bit dizzy from the impact. I looked up at the person I'd hit and I couldn't find the words to apologize at the moment, in front of me there was a very handsome boy sitting on the floor staring at me and panting heavily as if he had been running.

Our eyes locked and none of us moved. I felt entranced by him, he was fair skinned and a very beautiful man indeed, his eyes were a dark brown and his hair was styled up and out of his eyes while still looking soft. His lips were a light pink colour and were slightly parted as he stared at me and he had a thin line shaved through one of his eyebrows. I realized that I had been staring and snapped my head to the side to avert my gaze and calm me heart down. Once my heart rate returned to normal, I turned to look at him again

"I'm sorr-" I started to apologize as I tried to stand up, but before I could finish I heard shouting from down the street behind the boy.

"Hey! Get back here you street scum!" A man yelled as he started running toward us with two other men following close behind him. The boy in front of me quickly got up and ran over to me, he looked me in the eye for a second before grabbing my hand and pulling me to my feet. I quickly grabbed my board as he started running with me trailing behind him. He had a firm grip which I could not escape and so I just let him pull me along

I looked behind me as we ran to see three men still chasing us and keeping the distance constant, I personally didn't want to see what they wanted so I ran with the boy as fast as I could. The streets weren't busy so we could easily run across roads and parking lots without a care in the world. We ran into a shopping mall with the men still behind us, people stopped there business and looked at us as we ran through the mall frantically. We probably looked crazy to them. The boy pulled me sharply around a corner and pushed the button for the elevator multiple times, as if he thought it would open faster
