Chapter Four: Meeting The Boys

She yanks open the door to find... the usual stuff that would be in that closet. There's shoes, jackets, the usual. She turns around and looks at her dad, whos standing in the doorway. Her jaw drops just before running up to him. Her dad holding the same Element deck that she was looking at earlier that day.

She thanks her parents a thousand times while finishing up in the kitchen. Then run downstairs to her broken board and take everything off of it and put it on her new deck. She runs up the stairs hoping to get in some skating before dinner. She don't bother going to the park she just skate in front of her house. All the noise she was making draws attention to her. She don't care! She's skating on a brand new deck! She was on a high with happiness when something brings her back to reality. She finishes ollie-ing the curb to find some guys standing there clapping for her. She stops and sees one of them is Spinner so she picks up her board and gives a little curtsy. The four guys start walking up to her.

"Hey Adi!" Spinner says, like their best friends.

"Hey," she replys as she watches her sister run by with Jamie.

"So Spin you gonna introduce us or what?" asks the dark skinned guy with a smile.

Why do all these people have nice smiles?She thinks.

"Adrianna," starts Spinner, "This is Jimmy." She shakes Jimmy's hand as he smiles at her again. "This is Marco," Spinner continues. She also shake Marco's hand. "And this is Craig." finishes Spinner. She shake Craig's hand as she quickly looks him up and down.

"This is the Craig isnt it? He filled Mannys description perfectly" Can I have Jimmy?

"Nice board," says Jimmy.

"Yeah, I see you got a new board," smiles Marco.

"They all know about the skate park incident," says Spinner filling her in. She nods her head when she hears a door shut next door. She looks over and sees Manny. She runs over and greets her with a hug. She hands her something then hurries back into the house. She go back over to the guys, who were checking out her board, after shoving what Manny gave her in her pocket.

"So, you going to Degrassi?" asks Craig.

"Yeah," she replys bending down to tie her shoe.

"Cool, what grade?" says Jimmy.

"11," she replys looking up from her shoe. As she does she could'nt help but notice everyone except Marco was checking her out.

"I saw that!" she snaps at them. They stop looking at her and start whispering among themselves. Just as she gets up Arianna comes running over to her. She tells her that it's time for dinner. She wraps up her conversation quickly then runs inside with her board. When dinner's over and she's done the dishes she remembers that Manny handed her something when she was outside. She runs downstairs to check it. Just as she flops onto her bed the phone rings. She ignores it and opened the note. Arianna comes running down the stairs with the cordless phone.

"It's Grandma!" she says jumping onto Adrianna's bed. She chats with grandma for a while, then pass the phone back to her sister. She goes back to the note, which says...
