A day in the middle of May

It seemed as if it was going to be just another sunny day in the middle of May. I woke up, got dressed and went to school. While I was skateboarding to school my thoughts began to wander. I was thinking about my schoolmates, friends and school. I was wondering what my friends; Sarah, Maya and Harry would think about my new black backpack. I was planning to go to the skate park after school today as well. Naturally the school went on without an end. When I finaly got home I dropped off my backpack, ate my lunch, took my skateboard and skated to the park.

When I got there I just wanted to put on my black and red helmet and start skating when suddenly a guy, dressed all in black, skated by me, but i thought nothing of it and skated off to the first obstacles. While I was skating, I heard the whistle of the wind and I saw that guy with the corner of my eye. His intentions were clear- he was trying to beat me. When he caught up to me, I could see that his eyes were brown as well as his hair. We both reached the edge of the barrier at the same time and jumped over it. He took of his helmet; I did the same. He reached out his hand "Not bad, for a girl", he said. He smiled and said "Tim", I shook his hand with a still serious face " Juliet. I bet I can beat you at the jumpers", I said. We both put our helmets back on. " Whoever loses buys the other ice cream ", he added, and we skated off. I made the first and second jumper before him even if only for a second. Just when I jumped over the last one, I turned my skate weirdly and started to fall, but just in that second a hand caught me. When I stood up, I saw his smiling face. "You won", he said "but with a few mistakes". "You owe me ice cream", I reminded him. He laughed and we walked towards the closest ice cream shop where he bought me ice cream. When I finished it, he looked at me and said: “You skate pretty good, you gonna come again?"" I don't know" I said and skated home.

When I got to school the next day, our teacher told us we would be getting a new classmate today. I found that Quite odd, considering it was May already and the classes were about to end soon. I wasn't exactly watchful but then I saw that unmistakable face and the smirk that came with it. I raised my eyebrows at him, and he smirked back. Only then I realized that the only free seat in the classroom was at my desk. He smiled and sat next to me. When the teacher went away Tim started talking to me. 'Are you coming to the skate park today as well?' I was about to just shrug but then I changed my mind, turned towards him and looked him in the eyes. He had brown eyes that you could just see were filled with mischief and happiness.

'Probably.' I answered his question. 'How come you came to our school?' 'Well, we moved here, and my mom asked me whether I wanted to continue my education at my old school or at this one. If I decided to continue going to my old school, I'd have to take a one-hour long train ride but then again, I didn't really know anybody here. So, I came to the skate park because I always go there when I have to think. And I met you there.' at this point he smirked at me and continued on with his story.' When I came home, I told my mom about you and decided I wanted to go to this school. And here I am', he finished. I looked at him confused but then I just shrugged, and we started to talk. We got to know each other better during the class and I found out that his birthday was on October 25th, that he likes nature and skateboarding which I knew already. I just got to tell him that my birthday was about a week and then the bell rang. The class went by way faster than it usually did when I was talking to Tim. I just heard his 'See you!' and he disappeared in the crowd.

As soon as I got home, I took my skateboard and helmet and skated off towards the skate park. Of course, Tim was there already, he smirked at me and we began skating. We skated together until the evening. Just when I wanted to skate home, he grabbed my hand. 'Wait,' he said 'wanna go get some ice cream? Come on Juliet it's on me.' I gave in and gave him a slight smile and a nod. We went to the ice cream shop and he got us both some ice cream. For him, half chocolate half vanilla, which I really didn't understand and for me half cookie half Nutella. When we finished, I thanked him for the ice cream and went home. He smiled (what no smirk this time?) and waved at me.

When I got home, I started thinking about him. Can I trust him? Is he my friend? Do I want him to be something more? I didn't know an answer to any of those questions so I just decided to have a shower and watch TV for a bit and then go to sleep, because my parents weren't home yet; they went to have dinner at a restaurant with some of their coworkers.

Oh well, tomorrow is a new day. We'll see how things will turn out.
