Truth Behind Lies
Chapter 7: Z-Boys
As I walked back towards the shop I sulked. Yeah, I know, I young think like be shouldn't be sulking. Oh, well, not my problem. Let me sulk in piece. The sun had set and darkness filled the streets. A few yellow lights tried to illuminate the street, but all they did was make the shadows longer. Shadows can be dangerous things. I should know. I've lived the past three years hidden in them. I know what hides inside them.
I slowly round the corner onto the Zepher shop street. I didn't want to meet my uncle's friends. I'd rather fuck a demon. But I didn't want to stay out here all night. I needed to stash my loot before someone found it. But I couldn't stash anything until their was something in my room. I gave my uncle 3 hours to move the couch and maybe some other furniture into my room. He could handle that couldn't he?
I walked slowly to the shop door. I pushed it open. As soon as I entered I wished myself anywhere but here. I'd even take hell over this, and I've been there, literally.
The Z-boys my uncle raved about and his closest friends were scattered about the shop. The look in their eyes was enough to scare any girl, or in my case annoy me greatly. They looked like dehydrated elephants who had just seen water. I was the water.
The Z-boys, being my age, were the first to move in.. A Mexican boy, who had to be Tony, and a shortish blond haired boy, who had to be Jay, were the first to get to me. They all spent the next hour trying to 'impress' me. I ignored them. Go kill a demon. That'll impress me. Hell, I'd be impressed if you didn't get killed.
Then the older men moved in. They tried to get me away from the 'immature little boys'. Hey loser, I'm half you age. Get a clue pervert.
Then I felt a large hand slide down to my butt…
۞
I was still in shock. She had to be the prettiest girl I've ever seen. The other boys must have thought the same because they moved in. Even Stacy flocked toward her. But Jay got to her first. When I saw that I knew I didn't have a chance. Girls loved Jay. But as Jay and the others tried to impress her I noticed something. She was not impressed. Instead she looked ready to punch Jay in the face or fall asleep. I couldn't believe it. She wasn't fawning over any of them. It was a miracle.
Then Gino and the other 'adults' pulled her away. At first I thought Skip had sent them to rescue her. Then it happened.
Suddenly, Gino was thrown back into a surfboard display. The room froze. Gino grunted and go up. His hands covered his nose.
"YOU BITCH! YOU BROKE MY NOSE!"
Every one quickly moved out of Gino's way. She however looked unconcerned. Gino charged. He swung at her. She simply stepped aside and he ran into the door. The broken one. With a roar of rage he turned back to her and tried to back hand her. She grabbed his wrist and twisted. CRACK! Gino gave a cry of pain. He fell to the floor cradling his wrist. She stepped over him and walked out the back and up to Skip's apartment.
"Nice to meet you too Jez," I muttered under my breath.
