"Dang sweet move CJ!" Mikkie said with a smirk, being her sarcastic self. I had tried to land a 360, but ended up on my back instead. "Shut up!" She was right, it was bad and it hurt, but no way was I gonna let her win. "No CJ, she's right. Ya landed hard." I looked up to see that James had his hand down waiting for mine so he could pull me up. I took the help.

"Hey guys!" Mikkie called, getting our attention, "The sleeping king is here!" We looked up the hill. Sure enough Andy was speeding down. "Sorry I'm late," Andy said once he had joined us. Mikkie smiled, "You always are." He glared at her but she just kept on smiling.

That's what I love about Mikkie. She's always the one who won't get in a fight, at least with Andy, James and me. She has beat up a lot of kids outside of our group, both physically and mentally. She knows every put down in the book and is younger than all of us, 15! She looks like a true skater all the time. Ripped jeans, tee shit, and always has her black hair pulled up into a pony tail and covered by a hat. And no matter where she is, she has her light blue skate board with her. Let's just say, I'm glad she's on our side.

Then there's James. Yah, he's a skater, but looks more like a prep thanks to his mom. James has short blond hair and never wears jeans that are ripped. He is more caring and thoughtful then most people too. Whenever someone is bagging on him, he just takes it. Then he gets out of it when Mikkie joins the conversation. Usually, once someone gets a piece of Mikkie, they leave James alone. Even so, on the board he can kill anyone and everyone. He's the best skateboarder out there, well at least for 15 year olds. James is also my best friend; actually, we're like brothers. His parents work all the time so he will come to my house and hang out.

Andy, well Andy is late to everything except competitions and challenges. He was born a skater, looks and personality. Ya know, the shaggy long, hair with ripped jeans, tee-shirt and hat. He's the "lady's man" of our group. They like him because of his looks and the fact that he can knock someone out in one punch. Andy is 16, but acts like his 9.

Now me, I'm the oldest of us all, 16 almost 17, and appointed leader. My name is Chad John, but I hate it so everyone calls me CJ. I got dark brown eyes and brown skin like I tan everyday. My hair is also brown and short. I tried the long hair thing, but it didn't work for me. I'm alright on the board, but Andy and James are better. Maybe even Mikkie. I have had one girlfriend and believe it or not, it was Mikkie. But, we decided to break up after six months because it was just too weird.

Today is Saturday, our hang out day, I thought it was going to be normal. I guess it was at the beginning, but then, everything changed when 'she' showed up.
