This wasn't how Mays were supposed to feel like. Mays in New Jerseys were beautfiul.

Not only that, May 26 was my mother's birthday. Only three days after it will become her wedding anniversary and I, for one, couldn't bear the thought of it.

"Hey, what did you get on your chemistry test?" My best friend, Alex, asked.

"Ugh, don't even talk to me about that," I said to him as I took my skateboard out of my locker. The school put regulations on them like guns. 'No skateboarding within fifty miles of the primesece!', I could just hear my principal yell.

But it's not like schools had any control, to me skateboards were like phones to other kids. They were banned, but we still used them. Skateboards were just much harder to hide.

"How is that I study, you don't, and I fail?" I asked him, zipping up my messenger bag. I thought of taking it home, but I didn't need my books so I just took my house keys.

"I just know it. Besides, you over think things way too much. You need to just go with the flow. Let me see your test," he said, I took it out of my back pocket and replaced it with my keys.

I reluctantly gave him my test, which was folded into about ten pieces.

"See, you originally put the correct answer for the first question!"

"Don't you think I know that? Give it back to me, Alex!" I said and reached for my test, which he put above his head. I jumped up, trying to get it, but to no avail.

"You're such a prick!" I said, stepping on his new, expensive Nikes. That was like, the equivalent of kicking him in the nuts, except it their pride hurts more.

"Hey, watch the shoes!"

I laughed and ran out the front entrance of my school.

"I need to go straight home today. My mom will be on my case about this test. Better to tell her now than later," I told him.

"You should tell her after the wedding," he recommended.

"I don't even understand why we need to take tests. Mid-quarters are done," I replied, looking over at two kids, throwing sand from the sandbox at each other, unknown to their so-called parents, who were sitting on a bench, reading the newest issue of People.

"Yeah. School ends in almost two weeks. There's really no point, especially since the gradebooks close on June 1st," he said, flipping his phone open and going through a bunch of text messages. I tried leaning forward to take a peak at them until he flipped it shut.

"I need to go, Mom is calling," he said, flipping his phone shut.

"Okay, um, I'll walk with you. I'm not in that much of a rush," I said, standing up with him a little too quickly. He gave me a confused glance

"You sure?"

"Yeah, let's go!"

We skateboarded through the streets, the hot sun bathing my face. I always hated having such dark hair because it always attracted heat, which I wasn't a fan of. I could never imagine living in L.A. or Hollywood or the West Coast. It would never snow, let alone drop below thirty degrees unless you lived in the mountains, or something. I couldn't fathom the idea of Christmas without snow or cold weather. It just doesn't make it feel like Christmas.

"Hey, look at that dude over there," Alex said, coming to a quick halt. He pointed diagonally in front of us to two men. At least, one of the men.

He was middle-aged-or maybe younger-and wore gray slacks and a T-shirt. Next to him was a doctor-white gown (what do they call those things?) and all. The man on the skateboard didn't look like

The doctor was saying something to him hastily as he attempted to do a 'trick' on his skateboard.

"Hey, check this out, Abby," he said to me. I kept my eyes on the guy, who attempted to do an Ollie.

"Damn!" I said with a laugh.

"Let's go. This is too painful to watch," he chuckled.

I let out what was a squeak when he took my hand and got back onto his skateboard. I set my down a little uneasily, still in shock. I started to roll on mine, still holding his hand. We rolled by the guys quickly, but I could still here the gray haired one say to the doctor.

"Look. It's young love, Wilson," I heard the man say.

This only going to be a cute little four-shot! As you can see, it takes place during Seaosn 3's episode, Meaning. This was the first House episode I watched so I wanted it to take place in that time period and maybe even bring back the old cast!

I'll play with the situation a little so it probably will end up having many Au aspects in it.

Remeber: reviews are food.

Love,

Emiko
