*All skateboard tricks are of my imagination, I don't know if they are real or not so I am giving them names, and I have no Idea if you as your self can flip in the air and land on your moving board. I am an amature!*
Also I will be changing perspectives a couple times throughout the chapter, I just feel that having Calvin talk a little bit would be good.

Jesus P.o.v.
"Hi." I tried to keep the overwhelming sense of oh my god, Calvin Blu is Six and a half feet tall and just said hi to me.
"Sorry for everything by the way, some people just don't understand other cultures and their names." I relaxed a little.
"It's okay. But I do have a question, did Tyler really pour his water on the guys head." And Even more so I tried to stop worrying that today was going to be bad, ever since I found out that I got to come here, I wasn't so sad, and thinking about Lexi didn't ruin my day.
"Actually, yes, it was the best thing in the world, I literally did a spit take because i was in the middle of drinking my water. I died." The girl who had been standing next to him turned around and started to leave. "Hey wait, Tydell don't go, come on you can help one of these guys with tricks if they want, I know we are done working on mine for the day but come on, at least watch."
This girl taught Calvin Blu tricks, no working on, probably just telling him he looked good. but man while she was walking away I got a very nice look at her ass, and I couldn't help but look at it.
"Jesus, you skate right, why don't you show us some of your tricks. And Tydell here can get some footage for her project, is that okay with you." Footage of me doing tricks, sure why not, I am not nervous or anything. I felt kind of sick with the nervous butterflies in my stomach.
"Um, sure." stef put her hand on my back to reassure me like I'm a little kid, but I greatly appreciated it.
"See Tydell more footage. Come on stay." Calvin really must like this girl.
"Alright fine, just stop talking. Hi Jesus, I am shooting footage of skaters and breaking down their tricks, so nothing major, I use software that only watches the motions and helps me figure out where you go wrong. Everyone else If you don't have anything better to do you can watch the software. Jesus you will be out there alone doing your tricks because people tend to get picked up on the software and I don't get as clear readings." She talked to me the entire time not to anyone else, and damn I felt special.
"Grab a board from over there." Calvin pointed me to a racks filled with boards.
I grabbed a simple plane board with a red tag, as devin had said no T or C Blu boards.
"Um, okay, so does it matter what I do?" I wonder if they would laugh if I started out on some easy tricks. I wonder if it would make Tydell leave.
"No, you can do warm up tricks or just jump in, Tydell takes all footage and scopes it out." Okay warm ups are good. "If it makes you more comfortable while you warm up I will talk to you mom or something, that way theres no pressure. I always felt pressure with eyes on me all the time."
"Ah yeah, cool." Stef laughs at me, good why am I so freaking nervous, I mean yeah it's Calvin Blu, but he seems so chill and cool.
Calvin P.o.v.
"So it's..." I was drawing a blank on the names.
"Ah, sorry Cal, this is Lena, Stef, Mariana, Jude, Callie, and Brandon." Devin hurried through introductions. "And I would stay and talk, but Mariana wanted me to teach her a little." He gestured for her to follow him over to the board rack. What a useless flirt. I heard Jesus start to skate a bit behind me.
"Ah, cool, um anyone else wanna learn I have friends here who love to teach, and then theres cookies and pop in the back." I watch Callie and Brandon look at each other and head towards the back where I pointed with Jude close behind them.
"Well then. Your Stef and shes Lena." I guessed not remembering which one was which.
"Actually I'm stef, and that is my wife Lena." She said trying to hide her smile.
"Ah well, sorry about that." God I'm dumb. I hear the wheels of the board stop and then I hear them hit the ground again and continue.
"It's not a problem, you had names thrown at you, I would have messed up as well. She started to laugh.
"I am sorry about it even so. So It's nice to meet you guys, I mean ladies. I am Calvin, and Tyler and I feel really bad that he had to wait so long to meet us." Poor guy, I mean, five times he had the chance and he enter again each time, and they threw away his name, harsh.
"To be honest, Stef and I are happy it happened now. He's been so down and sad scenes his girlfriend moved away back to Honduras. I mean there is a possibility for her to come back on a student visa, but he has been taking it hard."
"Oh, poor guy. I don't think I would survive if Tydell went to europe for her schooling like she might. I mean, how can I make a come back without her." Tydell...
"Oh is she your girlfriend, we thought she was a groupie or something." Stef spoke up.
"No not my girlfriend." I say turning around and I see he is sitting at the top of the ramp about to head down and do some tricks.
"Tydell is more like my sister." No Tydell is my sister, if she would just let me get close to her again. I focused on Jesus as he skated down and did some board tricks. I was watching and I saw him rift up and land jesus flip and continue onwards through a bunch of incoherent tricks.
"Hey, wait." Jesus stopped and looked down at her from the top of the ramp. "Can you start that trick over." Tydell called from behind her computer which she was typing on.
He dropped and did a 180˚ rotation and went backwards doing another jesus flip. "That." he said with a frown.
"Yeah, Tydell what's up, you have seen that done a million times by different skaters."
"Shut up, Calvin." She glared at me, then turning to Jesus, "I want you to start from the beginning I saw you mentally apply tricks together into a theory, I want you to the Theory trick you're working on."
"Theory?" Jesus, Lean, and Stef asked in unison confusion.
"Tydell, that wasn't a theory, that was to random."
"Calvin butt in to this conversation again, and I will have to embarrass you. Got that. And Jesus, start on the set of tricks you included the rift in." She looked back down at the footage.
I watched Jesus's flip again. and then a 360˚, a rift. "Right there, you need to fix your rift it's sloppy, and it's making your landing sloppy, tighten your muscles up and curl forward about another 1/2 inch." Jesus did it again, and landed almost wiping out, "You did it again."
Tydell got up and climbed through the metal rail separating her equipment from the ramp. She walked over to him and started talking telling him again. "Okay again."
I walk over to the computer to watch what he was doing, but what I saw was footage layered over the Calvic Theory. A perfect modified Calvic Theory, with an iffy rift. She is playing at fixing it, if he could pull it off in a competition he would be one of the top 3.
I look over at them and Jesus is laying on the ground in frustration while Tydell continues to lecture him on it. "Get up." I hear through the mic, "Tighten these muscles, right here." She puts her hand over his upper abdomen. "If somebody punches you and your muscles here are tens then you won't feel it. She takes his hand and puts it there. Contract your muscles loosen then tighten them, and then do it again until you are ready to really rift."
"Holy shit, progress." I whisper.
"What?" Lena and Stef are standing behind me looking quite annoyed. "Im going down there to talk to Tydell and tell her to leave Jesus be."
Shit I need to stall her, "Please don't, she's not going to hurt him, I mean it's the exact opposite shes trying to teach him how to control it so he doesn't get himself seriously hurt. And besides it's good for for her, I mean therapy wasn't helping. This is the first time in almost six years she has been within four feet of somebody let alone have human contact."
"What?" Lena spoke up, she sounded so concerned. "She hasn't had human contact in six years! Poor thing."
"It's okay, I guess it's her reflexes and self preservation kicking in. I wish it wasn't true, I miss my sister, but I guess it's also expected."
"Why, is it expected." Stef asked, she had paused her trek to go yell at Tydell.
"Well when your fathers in prison for attempting and almost succeeding at murdering you, you get a little self conscious and paranoid."
