"Hey Skip" everyone said coming into the shop and tossing their skateboards onto the side
"Welcome back kiddies" he said with a cigarette hanging from his lips almost falling out when he talked
"Whew someone's been smoking weed in here" Peggy said
"Yea anyone want some?" Skip asked and everyone now noticed how he was walking and talking. This time it didn't sound like he was drunk, he sounded…calm. That only meant that he was stoned. Everyone turned it down; he just shrugged his shoulders and took another hit from it before handing it to Chino.
"Hey Dana" Chino said seeing me as Skip handed him the joint
"Hey Chino" I said shocked that he actually acknowledged me
"You know, I don't understand why we aren't friends" he said taking a moment to stand up
"Because you hate my guts" since he said hi to me everyone stopped what they were doing too amused to do anything else
"Nah man I was just kidding with ya" he said in a calm tone as he made his way over to me
"Oh ok" I didn't believe what he was saying; once he was out of the haze he was in he would be back to his normal asshole self. Skip stumbled over to the radio on the counter and turned it on. Metal started playing through out the small store and everyone that was stoned were dancing around the room.
"May I have this dance?" Skip asked bowing
"Sure" I laughed and looked over to see Chino dancing with a very uncomfortable Stacy
"What? I don't want to piss him off" he said. One of the workers came out from the back and staggered over to us
"Whoa so many people" he said in fascination "Does anyone else see that purple light?" he asked looking over at one of the surfboards
"Yea man isn't it gnarly?" Skip asked staring at the 'purple light' with him
"Do they always act like this when they're high?" I asked Stacy who was finally set free from Chino
"Yea"
"Well that's good to know; maybe Chino should smoke more often"
"No!" Stacy said not wanting to dance with him anymore
"I gotta bail guys. I already got homework" I said "You coming Sid?"
"Nah"
"Alright, see you guys later" I looked at Ellie, Kathy, and Amy "Come by my house so we can skate/walk to school"
"Ok you got it girl" Ellie said
"Hi hunny how was school?" mom asked
"Ok, you have to sign some papers" I reached into my backpack "You don't need this one though"
"Let me see" I handed her the paper
"They want you to take showers?"
"Yea great isn't it?" I asked sarcastically
"Here's a secret that I used when I had to take showers in school. Bring a bikini with you, really works. Just remember that you're not going to be the only one that's uncomfortable"
"Ok thanks mom" she finished signing all of the papers and handed them back to me
"I got some school supplies while you were at school today so why don't you go get all the good stuff since your brother didn't come home yet" she gave me a playful wink and I walked into the dining room where the school supplies were; I took all the stuff I needed and headed upstairs to my room. Since I was taking advanced math I already had two pages worth of homework and decided to get it out of the way. I turned on the radio that my mom had gotten me and used my pencil as a drum while I figured out the first math problem. Almost an hour later I was done with it finally and put it back in my backpack. By now Sid had gotten home "Hey baby Sid" I said smiling when he yelled at me not to call him that. The next morning I rolled out of my bed missing my alarm clock in the process. I slammed my fist down on the clock and it turned off. I took out a smaller bag and put in my gym clothes. Looking over at my bikinis I decided not to bring one. It just didn't seem fair that no one else would have one with them. I got dressed into a yellow spaghetti strapped tank top, seeing as we were about to got through a heat wave, and shorts. I brushed my hair up into the highest pony tail I could imagine and swept my bangs to the side. When I walked out into the hallway I noticed Sid fixing his hair in the bathroom mirror. He didn't notice me so I crossed my arms and leaned against the wall. He now started to flex his 'muscles' making different poses as he did "Hey Mary" he cleared his throat "Hi Mary how's it going?" he said in a deeper voice
"Not too bad" I said in an overly high pitched voice making him jump
"Hey sis" he said with a nervous laugh
"Hey big bro" I said "Just so you know, trying to act like a jock won't really help you earn points with" I made a dreamy face "Mary" I said with an equally dreamy sigh
"Shut up" he said
hitting me in the arm
"Ok ow" I said rubbing my arm and hit
him back. The door bell rang and I jumped up from the table "I got
it" I said and opened the door expecting to see 'the girls'
(A/N: I was getting really tired of writing all of their names
out!) instead there stood Stacy, Jay, Tony, Ryan, and Dave. After
glaring at Dave, who just smiled at me, for a second Sid came over to
the door.
"Hey guys, I'll be right out" he said and re appeared a moment later with his back pack and skateboard. I pulled him to the side where no one could see us
"Why is Dave out there?" I asked him
"He's" he now avoided eye contact "my friend. Sorry" he simply said and left me standing there with anger on my face. Sid and everyone else disappeared down the street on there way to school already. I closed my eyes for a second trying to understand why Sid would want to be friends with Dave, possibly the biggest asshole in Dogtown, well more like a tie with Chino. The door bell rang again, this time I smiled when I saw my best (girl) friends standing there.
"Hey girls" I said "Come on in, I just have to go get my backpack" I said and let them step inside before I went upstairs. When I came back down my mom was standing across from them and they were discussing something. "Ok well I'm ready let's go" I said hating when my mom had to talk to my friends
"It was nice meeting you Mrs." Ellie started to say but my mom interrupted her
"Oh please call me Marie" she insisted
"It was nice meeting you Marie" Ellie corrected herself and we walked outside. I picked up my skateboard that was lying down on the porch and we walked down the street.
"Well that was embarrassing" I said and skated slowly so they could keep up with me
"No it wasn't" Ellie said while Amy and Kathy laughed
"What?" I asked
"Well" Ellie bit her lip "She told us about the time that you saw some hot guys, as she put it, and tried to show off by skating but you completely fell off and scraped up your knees" she said laughing now
"I was 11" I said but laughed along with them.
