Lords of Dogtown Fanfiction
Disclaimer: I do not own the movie, the actors, the legendary Z-Boys or anything else I use during the story with the exception of my original characters. That's not to say that I wish I didn't own anything.
Summary: Sid's cousin goes to live with him while her parents go on a business vacation. Meanwhile a new girl moves next door to Tony and Kathy Alva. See how they interact with the Z-Boys. (I'm never too good with writing summaries)
Author's Note: I rarely write in first person point of view, it's always third. Same goes for this story. I had read somewhere it was harder to write in third person but for me it's not. Now I know I've kept sovereigntyd waiting so here's the first chapter...finally. And also my first couple of chapters of this are going to be really short because I just want to kind of introduce you to the original characters. After these first couple it should get longer.
Also note that this first chapter has been rewritten.

Chapter One: Adrianne Taylor
It was five in the morning. Adrianne woke up to her alarm clock ringing. She groaned, not wanting to get up this early. She reached over to her nightstand and hit the off button. After laying in bed for a few moments, she got up and left her room, making her way to the bathroom at the end of the hallway.
She took a quick shower and then went back to her bedroom. Taking a pair of jeans that were draped on her desk chair, she quickly put them on and then grabbed the shirt that said Venice Noodle Company. She had started working there a couple of days ago when her family moved to Venice. She needed to pay for the gas she needed for her car. The car was given to her after her father had passed away.
A couple of years ago, her father had heard the news that he had cancer. When he died, her mother decided to move the family away from all the painful memories that were sure to follow them had they stayed. Now it was just her mother and her three younger siblings.
Grabbing her shoes she left her room and made her way downstairs. When she entered the kitchen, she saw her mother sitting at the table reading the newspaper. Adrianne made a small noise with her throat, making her presence known.
Her mother looked up at her. "Sweetie. What are you doing up this early? School doesn't start for a few more hours."
"I'm working this morning." She explained while she poured herself a glass of orange juice. "I need to earn some gas money."
Her mother nodded, remembering her daughter had told her about working in the mornings as well as after school. Adrianne had wanted to make as much money as she could. Prices were expensive for them and her mother didn't have a great job like those rich people.
"Just make sure you're not late for school. Your studies are just as important." Her mother told her before making her way upstairs to get ready for the day.
Adrianne nodded even though her mother couldn't see her. School was important for her and she never missed a day unless she was really sick. Most teenagers she knew thought she was abnormal. She didn't party and she always attended her classes. To Adrianne, it was different. She wasn't into getting drunk or high and not remembering what she did the night before.
She grabbed her car keys that she left on the counter and left her house. Hearing people talking, she looked over to her left and saw her neighbors. She had only met them once. Or rather she only met the man of the household. Mr. Alva. She knew a little bit about him such as he always worked the graveyard shifts and had two teenagers: a boy and girl. The girl, Kathy, was her age and the boy, Tony, was a year older than her.
She assumed Mr. Alva just got home from work and Tony was going surfing, considering that's what most people did from this town.
"You're going to school today right, Tony?" He had asked his son. Apparently, Tony skipped school most of the time. Otherwise, Adrianne thought his father wouldn't have to ask him the way he did.
Tony shrugged it off. "Yeah dad I'm just going to get wet."
Adrianne continued walking to her car where she parked it in front of her house the night before. However, she turned around when something caught her attention. She turned around and saw Tony standing behind her, one foot on his skateboard and the other on the hard ground.
"You sneaking out or something?" He asked her.
Adrianne shook her head. "No. Going to work."
Tony smirked. "Sure. I'm Tony. If you ever feel like having a good time, you can sneak into my window. It's the window closer to the front on the side of the house."
"No. Don't think so." She said, disgusted that he had suggested that. It's not exactly a good first impression. She turned her head back to Tony's house after hearing Mr. Alva yell. She saw Kathy running back into the house with nothing but a short nightgown on. When she looked back over to where Tony currently was, she noticed he was gone. She quickly got into her car and made her way to the Venice Noodle Company.
