A backflip taking over the attention of all sitting near the twelve-foot half pipe. Nick landed barely on his skates, flying back across the pipe he got to the top of the other side. Nick grabbed the pole meant for grinding and pulled himself up to pull a one-handed hand stand on the pole, then dove back into the pipe. A simple stall on the bar occupied Nick's next visit to the top of the pipe. Dropping back into the pipe Nick ended his performance by landing right next to his friends who had accompanied him to the skate park.
"Really...it's all because I work here. I get so much practice, it's almost unfair, hahaha. Who's next?"

Lauren thought shed come and watch for a while- Nick was supposed to be awesome at this...
"WOAH!" she gasped
Well it seemed he was...
"Way to go Nick" she cheered loudly, half sarcastically, half seriously. Mainly to embarrass him in front of all his friends though.
Nick seemed to beam with pride at the suicide attempt, he waved and told her to come and give it a try. What a joke. Lauren, being famous for her clumsiness, was not going to take this oppertunity to once again humiliate herself in front of crowds of people...

'She's probably too scared of what people think...why does she care so much? They're just people!' Nick thought to himself as he stood watching Lauren sitting in the Viewer's Section. 'Her loss...this junk is fun!' he said to himself.
"Okay, who wants to drop in with me, two at the same time?"

After the skating session was over Nick skated out of the fenced park area. He skated over to where Lauren was sitting and said.
"Why don't you just try and come in a skate? You can rent skates and pads over there and just try, it's really not that hard, I can help you. But you don't have to, don't feel pressure or anything. It is a lot of fun though, and if you don't try you will be missing out. Well, I got to go home now, I guess I will see you tomorrow? Bye!"
And with those words Nick flew out of the skate park, he needed to be home quite soon for dinner.

Before she could answer, Nick was gone... "Fine, " she thought "I will..."
With that she digged in the pockets of her baggy jeans, and pulled out some money..Walked over to the stand and ignoring the laugh that practically burst out of the obviously experienced skaters' mouth who was in charge of renting out skates, she paid for the gear. Cautious but determined, she put on her skates. As she wobbled over to the smallest half pipe, she tried her hardest not to fall over while in her point of view, attempting suicide...she giggled to herself as she pictured this in her mind... but there was no turning back now. She pushed all the possibilities of falling down out of her head and tried to have as much fun as was possible.

"Nick!"
The words halted Nick incredibly fast; the words had come from Danny, Nick's friend, had yelled to Nick. As Nick turned around he saw Danny motioning him towards the skatepark...
"Lauren's gettin' some skate gear on! One could only guess, bro! Come and watch!"
Nick began to skate as fast as he could towards the skatepark. He saw Lauren wobble into the skating area. He quickly joined his friends sitting in the black leather seats in the Viewer's Section. He watched Lauren go to the two foot half pipe. Nick was impressed that she actually took his advice but he wasn't going to enter and help her until she had fallen once...one needed the fear of falling to try harder...or at least that's what he thought. Besides, the only reason he was going to rush home was to catch his favorite show before dinner. But, to Nick, watching this was more fun.

Lauren couldnt even hear the laughter, concentrating so hard on not falling although knowing it was inevitable. She didnt even know where to start, she looked up at the top of the half pipe bewildered. Skated up to the top, and when she got there she looked down... "Here goes...." she mumbled to herself...
As she gave herself a bit of momentum, she felt her body push forward.. she kept her feet together as a starter just to get the feel. Nothing could prepare her for the feeling of speeding down the pipe, it was wonderful.. until.. she stopped concentrating and gained too much confidence too quickly and just as she was about to continue up the other side, *plonk* She found herself on her butt. She laughed hystercially, "I gotta do that again" she said giggling...with that, she got up (with a lot of effort) and continued.... she must of fell about three times in the first five minutes, but she was having a blast.

Nick was laughing so hard tears began to form in his eyes! He skated into the skate park area and up to the halfpipe where Lauren was on the ground, again.
"I can't believe you actually did it! Great Job! Man, you're good for a beginner! Listen, when you get to the part where the halfpipe straightens out don't lean back that far, just stand normally. Well, you should always keep your knees bent because (1) it helps with speed and (2) it lessens the distance from your standing up to your sitting down, if and when you fall. Okay, so..."
Nick skated over to Lauren and helped her up while saying all this. They skated to the top of the one pipe and were sitting dangling their feet off the edge as he continued to say...
"...so when you drop in keep your knees bent and don't lean back that far, just a little, and when you go up the other side lean back even a little more, but not too far or you end up on your back. Watch me..."
Nick got up confidently and dropped in on the halfpipe, he straightened up as he got to the middle but when he turned his head he saw a very pretty girl looking at him and giggling with her two friends, and lost his concentration completely. Nick then slammed into the other side of the halfpipe and slide down to the flat area again.
"Okay, don't do that, but I lost my concentration, you shouldn't. Just keep lookin' straight ahead and you should be fine."

Brook had been sitting on the bleachers watching all the skaters. In her old town she would take her books to the skate park and just watch them while she studied.She loved seeing the pros doing all there tricks. It just amazed her at the spead an skill these guys took the pipes and rails. " Someday I'll be in there instead of sitting here," she thought." My mom would kill me if she found out though." Brook watched as Lauren got up on the half pipe. " WOOH! Go Lauren!!she shouted.She laughed as Laren fell then got up again and tried again while she was laughing hysterically. " She's great," brook thought as she smiled to herself." She's probably got more guts than a lot of the guys out there." Brook then watched as Nick went up and talked to Lauren. He then preceeded to go down the half pipe while Lauen watched. She noticed that he looked at a few girls standing by the pipe giggling and flirting with the guys.Brook rolled her eyes." Uh! They are so annoying! I don't know what guys see in them." All the sudden Nick smacked into the other side of the pipe and slid down to th bottom." " HAHA!", Brook burst out laughing and then quickly stopped when she found that eveybody around her was glaring at her. She quickly went back to looking into her school books and tried her hardest to keep the laughter inside her from spilling out." Ghmm...serves him right." she thought pursing her lips to keep them seeled.

Serves me right?? lol
Nick, as he got up quickly after his fall, turned to see where the loud outburst of laughter came from. 'Whoa...who's she?' he thought to himself...'Oh, that's right, the girl who is annoyed with everyone other than herself and Lauren. Why do girls that transfer from private schools have to be so stuck-up? Psh, she doesn't have any right to be making fun when she's just reading...punk...' he continued in his mind.
Climbing back up onto the side of the half pipe he skated up to Lauren and said...
"Hey, wanna try that roll-in over there? Roll-in's are easy. You don't have to push yourself to go straight down, it's an easy drop-in. Wanna try?" he said.

Lauren, having observed all the happening through watery eyes- due to fits of laughter-was now laughing even harder. Nick was irritated and his ego was slightly bruised. She smiled."Yeah sure! Although whats the time? I have to be home for dinner..."She asked as they walked toward the roll-in.
