A/N: Was going to be an intro to a story of mine, but I decided I can't write novel-ish fics so.. yeah. XD;;
Her speed was unbearable. She made her way through the crowd for the second time in her life. She loved the feeling of breaking rules, being free, the wind through her short blue hair. She was on her way to Cafe Cloud, the most famous cafe in Tokyo-to. She'd been learning to skate for the past couple of years and finally decided to take it to the streets just a few days ago. She had some falls on the vertical poles, but otherwise everything had gone pretty smoothly. Today, she was to attempt it again.
She was in the mood for a Cappuccino Mocha Latte Freeze, the newest treat on the menu. The yellow wheels on her expensive new skates thrashed against the floor, sending sparks as she was ripping down the freshly paved concrete. She was wearing her street outfit that she had designed for when she was a real rudie; a blue turtle neck tank dress with a red metal bra on the outside, long see-though plastic arm warmers, a pair of blue and navy striped stockings, a DJ headset with an antenna, and to top it all off, a load of makeup and her street name, "Rhyth" written in kanji underneath one of her eyes.
Rhyth was just a block away from the cafe. She turned a sharp corner, humming to the song that was blaring through her headset. A flash of green, and she was sent tumbling back onto the hard floor, a skate tripping her and another body falling next to hers. She sat up and rubbed her head, shaking her sandy hair and looking to her side. A boy around her age was sitting next to her cleaning his red shades with an aqua hoodie he was sporting. She was amazed at the sight of him. He had skates on, too. She examined them. Gold. She loved them. Who is this..
"Oh my God, are you okay? I seriously didn't mean to run ya over like dat, yo. I'm really sorry!" He blurted out once he saw her staring at him.
"No, it's okay. I'm new at this whole being on the street thing.. I should've learned to look out before skating to the cafe.."
"Cafe Cloud?"
"Yeah, why?"
"I was headed there, too"
"Wanna go with me? I heard they have a new drink called a Cappucino Mocha Latte Freeze."
"Yah. Sure."
They skated slow enough so they could talk to each other. Rhyth told him about how she began to skate, and also came to learn his name was Yoyo. He skated really good. He told her he had been on the streets for a year because of being an orphan and managed to work to get money for his clothes and skates. He had recently joined a gang called the GGs and he now had a bedroom and a few new friends. They had their conversation and Yoyo promised he would teach her how to skate and maybe let her stay in the Garage. He paid for the drinks and they spent an hour or two skating around Chuo Street.
Rhyth had finally found something and someone she was interested in. All her life she had pretty much been a loner without friends or hobbies. She felt at home. Comfortable with her surroundings. She realized having friends was an amazing thing. This could be the new beginning of the rest of her life, and she could visualize this happening. She belonged.
Okay, that was another shorty. w Hope you enjoyed.
