Not just a diary

I don’t really remember what happened the rest of the day after I had that fight. It went pretty fast. I found myself on the bus to go home and TK didn’t talk as much, as did I.
I sat back in my seat and put my legs up against the seat in front of me. […]

Wonderful. Now I was probably going to get jumped by all his buddies. This was not a good idea.
“All right come on and we’ll go over to my place to grab you a board n stuff.”
I turned leaving the door wide open and went to slip on my huge flat typical skater shoes and […]

Things really started looking up for me. It surprised everybody at school at how TK and I just clicked like that. He was a lot like me when I got down to it, I began to fully trust him. I got to know Lodi too, and know all about Prado Grande and the kids in […]

TKs quote stayed with me for a while.
“Don’t worry about it. You’ll probably be gone within a year too. Maybe even me. Who knows…? It could be any of us.”
It echoed in my mind. I didn’t want to comprehend the idea of me being someplace else within a year… not yet at least. […]

I always slept very light, so light sometimes it felt as if I wasn’t sleeping at all. It was sometimes hard for me to distinguish the dream world from the real world.
I heard a slight knock and I opened my eyes, only to see everybody was still sleeping and it must’ve been somebody’s foot hitting […]

The next day I was woken up really early. I heard Lodi’s voice.

Suddenly TK was right behind my head, “JESSIN!”
I shot up like a freaked cat, scared to death. I immediately grabbed […]

When things finally started to settle down the giant lantern was put in the middle of the open circle and everybody sat around the edges under the wood. A bunch of the kids wanted to tell ghost stories, so Matt made one up about one of the abandoned apartments around the corner where somebody was […]

The next Monday that came we all went down to the skate park to show off our skills, and as always got sore. The summer fort thing turned out to be really awesome. It seemed every time we went there, there would always be some one else to hang out with. Donny stayed there a […]

I awoke to somebody yawning. I looked over and saw Matt was up but I closed my eyes and relaxed awhile longer. I heard TK beside me get up. Two minutes later there was a loud clanging sound. I flew bolt up right, my eyes wide. Everybody else did the same to see TK with […]

It took me a few seconds to recap myself at the thought of Lodi coming with me and what I had just done, then when I woke myself up I really wanted to talk to her, but of course I couldn’t think of anything to say. Luckily she eased the tension within an instant.
“So how […]
