I here disclaim that I own any characters of Sky High, I do have Riley and anyone not familiar to the original movie.
Damn their still at, I mean jeez I've had bad breakups; but this is just crazy.
Riley was sitting on her bed listening to Warren Peace and his soon to be ex-girlfriend, Elaine Frost, argue over something stupid. She wished they would just shut up, but she had brought it upon herself since she had left the window open to her room since she had wanted to here their conversation. She couldn't help it she was nosy.
But I guess by now your wondering how the hell is she listening to two people argue; well her house happened to be right behind Warren Peace's house on account of their moms were good friends, and when Warren's dad had gone to jail; Riley's mom had convinced Warren's mom to move into the small house behind them. Then when Riley turned fourteen she decided she wanted privacy, so she moved into the semi-apartment thing built on top of her garage. It was a really neat place; she had a wrap around porch, its own bathroom, and of course it overlooked Warren Peace's backyard.
And that's how she was listening to Warren, and Elaine argue for at least an hour now, they were standing on the back porch of his house and Riley figured they would be there all night. Then "smack" and the door slammed; well actually it was a sliding door, so it made a quick "wooshing" noise instead of the slow one it usually gave off. Riley decided to be even nosier so she stepped out of her room and walked to the back of the porch. She was partially obscured by the huge oak tree that gave shade to her porch, but Warren had this really strange sense he just knew when people were watching him; he looked up and saw her. Damn him she thought.
"Did you just hear all that?" He was rubbing his cheeked. Damn apparently he'd been slapped.
"Warren I think that the life on mars heard all that, so I am going to assume here that you and ice bitch" It was Riley's favorite term for Elaine. "… are broken up now and I will never have to hear her squeaky voice outside my window again."
"You assume correctly" He leaned over and put his forehead into the palms of his hands; his hair covered his face in a straight black veil with the red streak on one side.
"Well that's wonderful really… and you know the best part? I NEVER have to hear you and her having that strange animal sex ever again!"
He looked up and gave her a wolfish grin, "Fuck you" He stood up and started to head to the door. "Anyways when's your meet tonight, my mom wants to go"
"6:30"
"Ok thanks." With that he went into the house.
Riley shrugged and hopped up on her banister and started going over her beam routine. That was Riley's power and the reason she was at Sky High, she could balance. Now she'd never really thought it some type of amazing power, but it did come in handy at Gymnastics meets; if you can't fall you have to win right? Wrong, her mom wouldn't let her enter into a regular gym; nope her mom still thought the world was fair. She was in a superhero class full of special powered girls who could do the same things she could. It pretty much leveled the playing field and the worst part was you had to wear these bracelet things around your wrists and ankles which would hinder your powers. It sucked. It gave her something to do though.
Having gone through her entire routine she hopped down and went into her room and got her gym bag together and headed into the house to get something to eat before the meet.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
A few hours later Riley was sitting at the gym in her black flame leotard. She may be in gymnastics but that didn't mean she had to wear one of those pink sparkly things. Riley was the wild child of the gym, her coach always referred to her as Haley from "Stick It". The character fit her to a T. Riley's first event was vault, she chalked her hands and her feet and positioned herself at the beginning, she motioned to the judges and she took off, hit the board and a 2 and half later hit the mat and stood straight and gave the fakest smile ever. Damn she should win an award for that alone.
9.8
It was bullshit, but the judges were like that, they'd count you off for not pointing your feet or you pull a wedgie before you're off the mat… automatic 2 point deduction. Riley ran over to her Mom and Dad, who were sitting next to Warren's mom, and Holy Shit… Warren? Huh, wonder why he's here?
Warren and Riley were neighbors, but they really didn't hang out much except when their families got together. At least not outside school, in school they had there "group" which was Riley, Cassie, Nicole, Warren, Layla, Will, Magenta, Ethan, and Zach; but during the summer most of them had jobs or were away on vacation. Riley and Warren always had a couple a classes a year together, but they never really hung out just with each other it was always with the group. Riley had never denied Warren was good looking, but she knew him too well. Also looking at Warren's crushes and failed attempts at relationships; he liked the bitchy girlie types. Sometimes he would come to Riley's meets and he probably came to this one because his mom was tired of him moping but here he was, and he seemed to be having fun. Riley ran up the bleachers to where her family and Warrens were sitting. Her mom handed her a water bottle and gave her a big hug.
"Honey that was amazing; cleanest run you've done"
"Thanks mom, Hi Ms. Peace. Hey Warren"
Warren's mom gave Riley a hug and congratulated her on her. Warren held up a fist and Riley returned with her own closed fist to hit his, they'd done this since they were little and it was their way of saying good job without crossing that awkward your-just-my-friend line.
"Good job Riley, very cool tricks."
"Thanks, well I have to warm up for beam then uneven bars; I'll be back in a little while"
A few hours later Riley returned with a gold medal on floor and vault, and silver on the beam. Over all it was a good night.
Alright there you have it number one let me know what you think. Good or bad?
Same Time, Same Place
