Jake then headed off to the skate park to meet Trixie and Spud. He tried his best not to pay attention to what his mom said. 'Puh-lease. Extreme sports are my thing.' Jake said to himself.
When he got there, he met Trixie and Spud. "Hey guys." He greeted. "Hey Jakey." Trixie said. "Hey bro." Spud said. The three then went skateboarding on the half pipe.
"Hey, did you read the New York Times?" Jake asked, when he got up on the ramp. "Nah, Trixie doesn't do the news." Trixie said. "I'm with Trix." Spud said.
"I don't read the news either, but my mom told me that I shouldn't do any 'extreme' stunts because she read on the news today that some guy was doing an extreme stunt and got seriously injured." Jake said, while going down the ramp.
"Oh yeah, he's some guy that lives next door to me." Trixie said. Jake didn't take notice that the same person who was on the news was Trixie's next-door neighbor.
Suddenly, a boy about Jake, Trixie, and Spud's age was going down the ramp of the half pipe that the three were on. It was Brad, their classmate from Millard Fillmore Middle School. Brad knocked Jake off his skateboard, not caring one bit at all. Jake growled at him, almost about transform into a dragon.
He then calmed down once the three were up the ramp again. "Oh, did the poor little kiddies get startled by me?" Brad mocked. The three frowned at him.
"Hey bro, that wasn't nice. You just stole the half pipe that we were occupying." Spud pointed out. "Oh you mean this?" Brad asked, pointing to the half pipe. "Well, too bad. It's mine to use so I can practice doing the extreme stunt that a guy did." Brad said.
"What, since when do you read the New York Times?" Jake said, trying to mock Brad. "What? Me? Read the news? Ha, my mom just tells me the news." Brad said.
"Well, practicing or not, you better share the half pipe with us or else you'll be in a lifetime of trouble." Trixie said. "Your on. I dare Jake here to do an extreme stunt tomorrow after school." Brad said.
"If he wins, then you get the half pipe all to yourselves." He said. The three whooped with joy. "But, if I win, then I keep the half pipe to myself and my friends." Brad continued. The three then stopped cheering.
"Your on." Jake growled. Brad then got off the half pipe. "Here, you can have the half pipe for now. You'll need it once I win." Brad snickered. He left along with his other friends.
Jake started getting competitive. "Yo, Brad is going down." Jake growled. "Jakey, calm down. You don't really have to do this." Trixie said, trying her best to comfort Jake.
"Trust me, guys. I know what I'm doing." Jake said. "I'll beat Brad's sorry butt any day." He said. Jake then calmed down and went back to skateboard with his friends.
