Chapter 1: My first day at the Mall
Hey dudes and dudetts. Name's Reighlyn Jenski. Reigh for short. I just moved and I'm goin' on my first visit to the mall today! I heard there were some wicked rails and grinds there, so I'm takin' my board. Hopefull, I meet some people there. Peace out dudes.
I'm at the mall, and there are some sweet grinds! Well, to the main point...
I went in Underground Videos to pick out a movie to watch while my parents unpacked, and saw this totally hot skater guy there! He was hanging with two other dudes, and the one named Jonsey tried to flirt with me as I walked into the store. I ignored him like I always do when guys I don't like try to flirt with me. As I walked the rows of movies, I glanced everynow and then at the blonde skater behind the register. He was still there, but I noticed that, sometimes, when they were chatting, they kept looking at me. Finally, I grabbed a movie and headed towards the register. The skater smiled when I came up.
"Hey." I greeted, smiling back. I laid down the movie and took out my money. "How much?" I looked at my money then at the guy.
"Uhhmmm...." He stuttered and gulped. Suddenly his friend, Wyatt, shoved the skater to the side.
"I'll ring ya up." Wyatt typed in the price on the computer and turned back to me. "Three fifty is your total." As I was finding a five dollar bill from my black leather wallet, Wyatt glanced at the skater and gave him a thumbs up. That made me blush, but luckily my long black hair (with red tips, I must add) was covering my face, giving me enough time for my skin to turn back to its original shade.
"Here ya go." I handed Wyatt the dollar bill. "Keep the change." I added, grabbed the movie, and headed for the door.
(Wyatt, Jonsey, and Jude's point of view)
"Dude!" Wyatt whispered to Jude. "Go ask her already!"
"But I can't, dude! You know how hard it is for me to ask out a chick I just met. I mean seriously." Jude answered back.
"True. But I've never seen her here before, so how do you know she'll be back?" Wyatt asked. Jude just slapped his forehead, then opened his mouth to speak, but was cut short by Wyatt. "Uhh... dude. Where's Jonsey?" They both turned around to face the front door, and, standing there, was Jonsey and the skater chick. Talking!
"Oh no, dude! She's coming over here!" Jude pulled down his cap slowly as the girl came closer with Jonsey guiding her at her side.
"Jude. Didn't you wanna ask her something?" Jonsey asked with a wink.
"Uhh...." Jude hesitated, but was elbowed in the ribs by Wyatt.
"Just do it already!" He hissed in his ear. Jude gulped, more visibly now, and stared at the chick with the skateboard. She was smiling at him! He could tell she was blushing, her bright blue eyes shining.
"I-I wanted to ask you..." Jude began, then took in a huge gasp of air. "D-Do you, like, wanna get some coffee with me?" Had it worked? Seh nodded.
"Sure." She smiled. "I'm Reigh by the way. Meet me at the Big Squeeze? Say two?" Jude looked at the clock on the wall. One p.m. Perfect! He got off in forty-five minutes. Jude turned back to Reigh.
"Perfect." Jude grinned. "Name's Jude."
"Like the name." Reigh commented. "Cya then." She waved good-bye, still carrying the movie and her board, and walked out the store.
"Nice one!" Jonsey said once Reigh was gone.
"Wow. I can't believe I actually asked that chick out." smirked Jude, leaning back on the counter.
"Yeah, and now you have a date!" Jonsey blurted, then added, "With a hot chick, too!" Jude grinned in triumph.
"I sure did, man!"
(Back in Reigh's point of veiw)
I sat at the Big Squeeze. One fifty-seven. Almost time. I still can't believe he asked me out for coffee! Wow, back at Underground Video, I felt like I was on fire I was blushing so hard. Well, yeah. There's this blonde chick working at the Big Squeeze, and her outfit makes me wanna barf! Too pink!
"Hey." I heard him behind me and turned around.
"Hey." I stood and grabbed my board. "Lead the way to the coffee shop."
"Jude! Hey Jude!" I turned and saw the blonde chick waving in our direction. "That your new girlfriend?" They knew each other?!
"Uhh... I asked her out to coffee, dudett." He replied as best as he could without trying to seem embarrassed.
"Oh. I see. Well, cya then!" The chick, Courtney, waved good-bye. Jude waved back.
"Ok. Follow me." Jude smiled, turned around, adn I followed him... Side by side.
Once at Grind Me, the coffee shop, we chose a booth with red cusions.
"Hey Jude." A chick with red hair came walking up to the table.
"Hey, Jen. What's up, dude?" Jen looked in my direction.
"This your girlfriend?" Gah! Why do so many people keep asking that? Well, it might be true, but it was getting annoying.
"No. I'm not." I butted in. Not yet, that is. I thought to myself, then added, "Jude here just asked me out to coffee."
"Oh." Jen nodded her head while smiling. "Well, I better leave you two for your da- coffee. Cya." Jen walked off while waving. After she was gone, Jude said, "Well. That was Jen. You, like, wanna go get our coffee?"
"Sure." He stood and put out his hand to help me get up. I blushed and stared at it for a second, then smiled up at him and put my palm in his. He smiled back and lifted me from my seat. We walked over to the front register where the girl, Charmaine was at.
"Hey, Jude. What would you like?" Charmaine asked.
"I'll have a chocolate chip frappachino. Reigh??
"Same." I answered.
"You're total'll be..." Charmaine pressed some buttons on the register, "Seven dollars even." Jude pulled some money from his pocket, picked out a ten, and handed it to Charmaine.
"Ok. Your chande is three dollars." Charmaine handed Jude three one dollar bills to Jude, who stuck it in his pocket. "It'll be right up in a sec." With that, she walked off to get the frappachinos ready.
"Thanks, Jude, for buyin' my coffee." I thanked Jude as we walked back to our booth.
"No problemo." Jude grinned. We sat back down, straight across from each other as we waited for Charmaine to call us.
"Jude, coffee!"
"I'll get it." offered Jude as he stood and walked off. I waited patiently. Jude walked back up holding two cups.
"Here ya go." He set down the coffee in front of me and sat back down in his seat.
"Thanks." I took a sip of my coffee and smiled. "Dude! This is awesome!"
"You mean you've never had this before?" I shook my head. "Wow. You've been missing out!"
"Chyeah! I have!" I grinned and we continued drinking our drinks.
(Jude's point of view)
Jude and Reigh walked throughout the mall. Ring! Ring! "Crap!" Reigh said and pulled out her black cell phone. She flipped open the cell and placed it on her peirced ear. "Hello?" They both stopped and sat down on a nearby bench. "Mom? Ok. I'll be home in thirty. Cya." Reigh clicked off the phone and placed it in her pocket.
"Gotta go?" Jude asked, looking a little sad that his day was ending.
"Yeah." Reigh shook her head. "Why does this day gotta end? Why can't I stay longer? I mean seriously! My first day here and I gotta go home at eight on a Friday."
"Just moved here?" Reigh nodded. "Oh. I see. No wonder I've never seen you 'round here before." Reigh raised an eyebrow.
"You've noticed?"
"Mmmhm. Well, you better get goin'. Uh... can you come tomorrow?" Jude asked, blushing a little. Reigh stood and smiled.
"Yep. Free tomorrow. Well, cya." Reigh waved and walked off.
"Dude. This sucks." Jude crossed his arms. He was now at the Big Squeeze with Jonsey and the others.
"That chick?" Jonsey asked. Jude nodded. "What happened? Dumped?"
"So, you were going out!" Jen smirked.
"No. I just asked Reigh for some coffee."
"Suuurrreee." Jen grinned. "Well, gotta get back to work, otherwise fifty push-ups from the coach." Jen stood and left.
"So, who's this "Reigh" girl?" Nikki asked, leaning closer on the table.
"This really hot skater chick I met at work. I asked her to come back tomorrow."
"And what she say?" Courtney asked.
"Yep. She's comin' back." Jude smiled and gave Jonsey a thumbs up.
"Nice. Whatchya gonna do tomorrow?" Jonsey raised his eyebrows.
"Duuude. Maybe. Haha. Sweet." Jude hopped on his skateboard. "Cya tomorrow, dudes!"
