There was a fence going around the skating area. I pushed open the gate, but as soon as I did there was this guy all up in my face. He looked like someone I shouldn't mess with.

"Do you have a pass?"

"No, I didn't know I needed one."

"What are you new here? Of course you need a pass."

"Well can I have one?"

"No! You can't just walk in here and expect someone to just hand you a pass. You have to work for it doll face."

"I know you did not just call me that."

"Well then what would you prefer sweetheart?"

"I would like for you to cut that out."

"Sorry if I like to treat a lady nice! Maybe we should skip it and just go straight to you getting that pass."

"What do I have to do?"

"Let's go over to the corner and I'll show you." He indicated the far corner and I looked over there. Several people were sitting over there and they were all couples and all of them were making out. There was no way in hell I would do that with this scumbag.

"No, it's not worth it."

"Come on baby!" he grabbed my arm and tried to pull me towards him.

"Jay, leave her alone. Why do you always do this?" said the hot guy who walked over with skateboard in hand and no helmet that I could see. That's dangerous, I like dangerous.

"Why don't you ever mind your own business?"

"Go away Jay." Surprisingly he left. "Sorry about that."

"It's ok. So I take it I don't need a pass?"

He laughed, "No, is that what he's telling people? He is shameless."

"Yeah I guess so."

"I'm Ryan by the way," he held out his hand for me to shake.

I took it saying, "Tori."

"Pretty name. So you are new in town right?"

"Is it that obvious?"

"I can see it written on your face."

"What do you mean?"

"You just have a shocked expression, like someone who is seeing something for the first time? Also the way you carry yourself suggests you feel uncomfortable."

"Wow, you sure can read people."

"My mom says it's a skill, my friends disagree."

"I think your mom is right, but perhaps your friends disagree because you don't use your skill for good." Just then Angela's phone, which I had borrowed before coming out just in case, started vibrating. It was a text from my brother telling me to come back to the lab. "I have to go now." I walked away.

He yelled after me, "Am I going to see you again?"

"Maybe."

A/N: Tori needed a friend, or maybe more than a friend. I don't know yet. That's a lie I do know.
