CHAPTER 6 – PART 2:
"Yeh", Ashley said as she looked at the OC seeing it looked like the pictures she saw before. Lots and lots of young people enjoying the beautiful weather and amazing beach.
"So", Seth said after a while. He knew the sight, and wasn't impressed nor interested in it anymore. "Your choice", he went on. "I can give you a quick tour around here or I am gonna teach u a few standard things you need to know if you want to learn how to ride a skateboard."
Ashley looked from the beach to Seth and his skateboard. As much as she wanted to explore all the little stores and the beach right now, she knew she would have to choose the other option. She owed it to Seth, because she knew she would hurt his feelings again if she would choose otherwise. "What do you think?", she said winking. "Show me a few more of your cool maneuvers and I am gonna try to stay on that thing for more than ten seconds without falling off of it.
"Deal", he answered with a smile. He stepped on his board and slowly rode around a bit while Ashley chained the bike to a standard. When she was done he went towards her and jumped with board and all right in front of the girl.
"Maneuvers like this?", he asked innocent.
"Hahaha funny", she said as she stepped on the skateboard. She slowly moved forward while she pushed herself with one foot.
"Alright you have a little speed now, put both your feet on it", Seth said after a while.
Ashley did so but almost immediately she stood still. "Great now what?", she grumbled impatient.
"Put on foot on the front and slowly bend a little and push a few times, you'll make some speed."
"Okay", Ashley said as she quickly moved one of her feet. She put it on the front top but instead of going faster the board made a weird move to the side and Ashley lost her balance. "O shit", she cursed as she waved with her arms and nearly fell. She got the control back on time and knew how to steady herself before falling flat on the floor.
"Not like that", Seth said, grinning as he watched Ashley tripping over her own feet once more.
"I figured that much", she said as she stepped on the board again. She didn't gave up on this thing easily. She really wanted to be able to ride it. She tried a few more times and listened carefully to what Seth told her. And as if it was a miracle after about half an hour she figured out what to do. "I can do it", she said overenthusiastic when she finally succeeded. "Not your neat tricks, but still I can ride."
"Yep", Seth said proud. "So wanna learn a few tricks then?"
"Sure", she answered, but before he could show hew some she could learn she thought of something. She quickly looked on her watch and saw it was way late. She was supposed to go home ages ago. "O no", she said. "I needed to be home. Is there a bus station near?"
"Hmmm not really, but if you want you can lend my bike, just bring it to school tomorrow."
"Okay thanks", Ashley answered as she quickly ran to the bike, unchained it and jumped on it. "Thanks for everything, see you tomorrow", she yelled while she rode away as fast as she could.
