Eventually, Skye
started to feel better. Her head was still aching but it wasn't so bad. Many
people checked up on her to make sure she was okay. But she was fine; she
wasn't loopy anymore. Her bandmates soon consoled her at the table she was
sitting at.
"I told her not
to do it," mentioned Kent.
"Sure,
Kent," said David.
"He really
did," defended Skye. "But I did it anyway because I'm an idiot."
"Yeah, you
are."
Skye pinched David on
the arm, making him flinch. He held onto his arm and uttered, "Ow!"
"Skye, what you
did was stupid," shared Sean. "But I appreciate it." He formed
his hand into a fist so the two could fist-bump. "You're hardcore, sister.
You're hardcore."
Skye shook her head
and giggled. Soon she looked up and saw Jeffrey coming her way. The guys saw
him, too, so they left to give them a little bit of privacy. Jeffrey sat on the
bench next to Skye.
"How's your
head?" he asked.
"How a head
should feel," Skye responded.
"You know, you
could've really hurt yourself. Why did you do that?"
"I don't know. I
guess I was trying to get your attention."
"You're my
girlfriend. If you want my attention, you can have it."
"I know. I'm just
an attention whore."
Jeffrey snickered.
"Why is that
funny?" Skye smiled.
"I don't
know."
"You do
know." Skye softly squeezed his cheek so it wouldn't hurt. "But
you're right, I could've hurt myself. I mean I did but I know what you
mean."
"Yeah. Just never
do anything like that again. You're the first girl I truly like and to lose
such a girl would devastate me."
"I'm sorry,
Jeffrey. I promise I won't do that again. I'll probably do a lot of stupid
things in the future but it won't be that."
Jeffrey laughed,
showing his cute smile. "You're too much."
"Are you sure I'm
not too little?"
"I love
you."
Skye just stared at
him. Suddenly, her headache came back. "I-I'm s-sorry," she
stuttered. "I didn't h-hear you. Can you say that again?"
"I said I love
you."
Skye was silent again.
"O-Of course you did," she slowly said. "Of course you said that.
Okay." She smiled, trying to be cute. She pinched Jeffrey's cheek again,
maintaining eye contact. "You know how I feel about you."
She let go of his
cheek and kept smiling. Jeffrey felt awkward, losing his smile and staring at
Skye who wouldn't stop looking at him. He wanted to hear the words yet he
didn't want to take it the wrong way.
Later, as the evening
arrived, Skye was with her band who were at their usual positions. Sean and
David were holding their guitars, Kent was sitting at his drums and Skye was
standing in front of a microphone stand. Besides them were speakers which their
instruments were plugged into. And in front of them were every skateboarder at
the park.
"How is everyone
doing today?" Skye hollered into the microphone.
The teenagers cheered
as loud as they could.
"Did anyone here
see me cheat death?"
The teens cheered
again.
"Yeah, I don't
know how to skateboard very well. But I know I can do one thing and that's
sing. Do you hear us rock?!"
They cheered again.
"Let's go!"
The teenagers cheered
and applauded the band as they began to play. Kent did a drum roll before Sean
and David started to play a melodious riff on their guitars for the pop punky
intro. Skye began to sing over the new rhythm that the band then produced.
He was a boy, she was a girl
Can I make it any more obvious?
He was a punk, she did ballet
What more can I say?
He wanted her, she'd never tell
And secretly, she wanted him as well
But all of her friends stuck up their nose
They had a problem with his baggy clothes
The band played louder
when Skye started to sing the chorus.
He was a skater boy
She said see you later, boy
He wasn't good enough for her
She had a pretty face
But her head was up in space
She needed to come back down to earth
The band played the
introduction again then started to play a little quieter for the bridge. Skye
took off the microphone and walked around, singing into it with more emotion.
Sorry, girl, but you missed out
Well, tough luck, that boy's mine now
We are more than just good friends
This is how the story ends
Too bad that you couldn't see
See the man that boy could be
This is more than meets the eye
I see the soul that is inside
He's just a boy and I'm just a girl
Can I make it any more obvious?
We are in love, haven't you heard
How we rock each other's world
I'm with the skater boy
I said see you later, boy
I'll be backstage after the show
I'll be at the studio, singing the song we wrote
About a girl you used to know
I'm with the skater boy
I said see you later, boy
I'll be backstage after the show
I'll be at the studio, singing the song we wrote
About a girl you used to know
Skye put the
microphone back on the stand after the boys finished the song. David shook his
guitar to let it ring for a while. The watching and listening skateboarders
went wild, applauding the band. Skye smiled and waved at Jeffrey, the biggest supporter present who was
clapping it up.
