Chapter One
Andrew Brinker watches his friends skate towards him.
" Dude, what took you guys so long?" he asked them.
" Well, I had homework." Jordy Bormer explained.
" And my mother wouldn't let me leave until I cleaned my room." Gabriella Dellama said in her Peruvian accent.
" And Jerry," Peter referred to his stepfather, " wants me back in thirty minutes, so can we get to practicing?"
" Why do you have to leave in thirty?" Brink asked.
" Because my wonderful stepsister is moving here." Peter Calhoun said sarcastically.
" You have a stepsister?" Gabby asked.
" Yes." Peter said short-temperedly. " Can we practice now?"
The gang practiced for twenty minutes. Then they stopped for a break.
Peter looked at his watch.
" Man, I gotta go." he picked up his stuff.
" Hey, dude, how about us going with you?" Brink suggested.
" You just want to check her out." Peter said with his first smile of the day.
" Well, I don't. So can we go?" Gabby asked.
" Okay, but I'm telling you, you're not going to like her."
A.N.- Okay, I might as well warn you. My chapters are going to be short, and it might take me awhile to update in the future. If you don't already know, I have a problem with updating. It takes me forever to get around to it because of school and stuff, so you'll have to bear with me.
