I woke up the next morning by the sound of ringing. Turns out it was the phone and it was for me. I had a wonderful dream and now it was like I was painfully pulled out of it by the memories of yesterday. Hudson's advice helped and I knew what I had to do but that doesn't stop me from being human. What Hudson was saying was that I have to talk to Casey about what happened and it made sense too, I'm just freaked out. Anyway Grams asked how the movie was and I said it was good, which is the truth. She also asked if Marissa liked it and I wasn't going to lie so I didn't. I said, "I'm not sure if she liked it Grams." Which is the truth right?
Anyway it was Marissa on the phone. I knew what she was going to say. She was going to yell, a lot, for doing what I did. She was going to bombard me with demands. She was going to tell me what Danny thought. She was going to tell me what I was going to do next (as if I had any choice) and finally she was going to yell some more. Now I don't know how appealing this sounds to you but for someone who just woke up, with a headache I might add, it doesn't. So when Grams handed me the portable I said, "Marissa listen," but I never got to finish because she interrupted me.
"Oh my gosh Sammy how was it? Was the movie good…what am I saying, fill me in on the details NOW!" She was practically squealing.
What she didn't know already? "Marissa didn't Danny tell you?" I asked.
"Huh? No, he just said that Casey said it was fine, whatever Sammy stop stalling just tell me!" She practically screamed. But I wasn't paying attention to that. Casey didn't say anything about what happened. That was really nice of him. It was …sweet? I didn't know what was happening. I had no idea what I was feeling or thinking everything was a big blur. Even the things Marissa was saying didn't sound clear. Eventually I snapped out of my trance. "Yeah it was fun Marissa. Listen I'll call you back okay? Bye." Before she could respond I hung up. I had some serious thinking to do and I knew exactly where to do it.
"Grams I'm going over to the skateboard park." I told her before I left. I was climbing down the fire escape when I saw a police car go by. It had its siren on and I thought I recognized the person inside. I did, it was Borsch. Despite myself I smiled. I wonder what he was up to lately I haven't seen him around for a while.
Anyway I finished climbing down and headed over to the skate park. There was guy on his bike doing really cool stuff I only wish I knew the names of. I headed over to the ramps and just started free styling. I wasn't doing much thinking though I remembered the competition and I really needed to work on my stuff. So I just started skating. Doing whatever, falling occasionally and succeeding to a high level.
Eventually I became tired so I decided to stop. I walked up the stepes and watched some people play basketball. This park as huge there was a skate park basketball court and field down the street. There was a lot of graffiti everywhere though but now that I know what it says, it was really nice. They were like poetic. There were pictures too one was of a kid praying in church. Another was of a kid boarding. And another was of a woman with three children. I don't know much about art but this stuff was nice…beautiful even. Anyway I tuned back to the game and started to watch. One of the teams was clobbering the other and eventually I decided to go back to boarding.
I walked over to the ramp I was using, before I took a break, but there was someone there. I couldn't really see who he was or even how he looked like but I could see the stuff he was doing and it was great. I just started to watch… this kid was dedicated. He barely fell and when he did it was because he tried this one impossible move that he nearly got. I decided to head down and ask if I could take a turn. I didn't actually mind if I didn't, I was having fun watching but I wanted to meet this person. So I climbed the steps back down and walked over to the guy. He was on the ground now tying his shoe or something.
"Hi, um can I take a turn?" I asked. He looked up and it was someone I knew. Of course it was someone I knew. Nothing normal ever happens to me, only bizarre coincidences that happen in fairy tales. This was getting old. It was Casey. Of course it was Casey.
"Hi." I barely whispered. He just looked at me. I couldn't really tell was his face was saying it was sort of neutral. I decided to break the ice. "I didn't know you were so good."
He looked down, "Thanks." He mumbled that, so I'm just assuming that's what he said. He looked back at the ramp then at me.
"Go ahead I was just leaving." And he walked away. But before he completely turned I said, "Thanks." I guess that stopped him because he turned around and faced me. "For what?" I took a large exhale and looked him in the eye, "I guess for not saying anything to Danny or anyone."
He just stared back, "What and say the movie was hilarious, oh and by the way I completely embarrassed myself?" He practically spat this out. This was getting messier by the minute and I didn't know what to say. So I just looked down at the ground totally miserable. I heard him sigh. "Sorry for that umm…outburst it wasn't fair." He looked genuinely sorry too so I looked back up at him and smiled something weak. "Do you want to walk around or anything? Maybe just umm…talk?" I asked crossing my fingers. He looked at me and smiled. It wasn't that grin I'm so used to but a sincere smile. "Yeah sure."
