skater boy 🛹

chapter 1: meeting hamzah

" y/n wake up!!! it's time to go to school." yells my mom.

i groaned and got out of bed. i quickly did my morning routine, ate breakfast, and put on a hoodie and sweatpants before i rushed out the door.

first class - art. thank goodness. i'm not in the mood for any other class.

as i got settled in the classroom i worried if people were judging me because i recently started making videos on tiktok. i gained about 15k followers. some videos were pretty embarrasing, but if my supporters liked my videos that's all that mattered to me.

as i was almost done sketching my assignment,  i noticed a curly haired boy walk into the classroom. he was wearing a collared striped blue polo shirt, black jeans, and had a sketchbook in his hands.

"ah, hello there! i was expecting you today," the teacher began, "class, this is our new student."

the boy blushed of embarrassment. he seemed kinda shy, like me. i couldn't help but think of how familiar he looked, but the rest of the class didn't seem to recognize him.

"hi, my names hamzah. i recently moved here from america."

he awkwardly waved and did a half smile before finding the last empty seat, which happened to be next to me. i blushed. this boy is so cute.
somehow i managed to fight the nerves and introduce myself. i swallowed my saliva.

"hey, my name's y/n!"
"oh hi, i'm hamzah but you probably knew that already," he chuckled.
i let out a nervous giggle.
"is that the drawing prompt we're supposed to be doing? i kinda came in late, and i really don't wanna ask that teacher. she's kinda... intimidating." he nervously said, seemingly had said more than he meant to.

i nodded and laughed, "yeah, today's prompt is to draw something that's special to you. i drew my skateboard, it's kinda where i find myself."

he seemed a bit surprised. "that's really cool, coincidentally i skate too. not like, professionally or anything, i kinda just do it for fun and to make videos and-"

i unintentionally cut him off. "wait, you make videos?"

he smiled nervously. "yea, i do tiktok videos,"

"i could have sworn i've seen one of your videos on my for you page," i laughed.

out of nowhere, the school bell rang. time to go to the next class.

"hey, since you're new here maybe i should show you around? i could help you find your next class if you want," i suggested.

he showed me his schedule and we had most classes together. we spent the rest of the school day talking and it seemed so natural.

i looked at my phone. 2:00 pm, school is over. the bell rang.

he cleared his throat. "hey, do you wanna go to the skate park together? we could learn some tricks. not that you're not good or anything but-"

i laughed, "of course, that would be really fun."

we exchanged phone numbers.

oh my gosh, this boy is so adorable. i think i already have a crush.
