I Went On Quackity's Love Or Host (Book 1)

Chapter 7

The sun hung low in the sky, casting long shadows across the campus as Y/N and Marcus stepped out of their dorm building. The air was cool and crisp, a hint of fog blanketing the landscape in a dreamlike haze. Y/N's skateboard was tucked under her arm, the grip tape rough against her palm.

Marcus grinned at her, his skateboard balanced on the ground. "Ready for a little break from the books?"

Y/N chuckled, adjusting the strap of her backpack. "Absolutely. I need to clear my head before I drown in legal jargon."

They made their way to the skate park, the sound of wheels against pavement and laughter of fellow skaters filling the air. Y/N's heart raced with anticipation as she stepped onto her skateboard, the smooth wood beneath her feet a familiar comfort.

"Remember when we used to spend hours just skating around the neighborhood?" Marcus mused, pushing off with one foot and gliding effortlessly.

Y/N grinned, memories of their childhood adventures flooding back. "Yeah, and we thought we were the coolest kids on the block."

As they skated side by side, the fog seemed to envelop them, creating a sense of intimacy between the two friends. The world around them faded into the background, leaving only the sound of their wheels and their shared laughter.

They took turns performing tricks, each success met with high-fives and encouraging words. Y/N's heart felt light as she executed a smooth ollie, the thrill of the moment washing away the stress of her studies.

After a while, they found themselves at the edge of a grassy hill, the fog rolling over it like a gentle wave. Y/N's eyes lit up with mischief as an idea formed in her mind.

"Hey, Marcus, you up for a little ride?"

Marcus raised an eyebrow, his curiosity piqued. "Adventure? What are you thinking?"

Y/N grinned mischievously. "Ever tried skateboarding down a fog-covered hill?"

Marcus's eyes widened with a mix of excitement and uncertainty. "You want to bomb this hill in the fog?"

Y/N shrugged playfully. "Why not? It's not every day we get such a cool setting."

With a shared grin, they positioned themselves at the top of the hill. The fog had cast an ethereal glow over the landscape, and the thrill of the unknown sent a shiver down Y/N's spine.

"Ready?" Y/N called out, her heart pounding.

"Ready," Marcus echoed, determination in his voice.

As they pushed off, their skateboards picked up speed quickly, the wind rushing past their ears. The fog enveloped them, creating a sense of isolation as they hurtled down the hill. Y/N's heart raced, a mix of exhilaration and sheer joy coursing through her veins.

The world around them became a blur, the fog creating a surreal and otherworldly sensation. Y/N's laughter mingled with Marcus's as they reached the bottom of the hill, their skateboards coming to a stop with a satisfying skid.

Y/N's chest heaved as she caught her breath, her cheeks flushed with excitement. She turned to Marcus, a wide grin on her face. "Now that was an adventure."

Marcus laughed, his eyes sparkling with mischief. "You know, Y/N, you always know how to turn a mundane day into something epic."

Y/N winked at him. "That's my specialty."

As they walked back to their dorm building, their skateboards slung over their shoulders, Y/N felt a deep sense of contentment. In the midst of their busy lives, they had taken a moment to embrace the thrill of the unknown, to share laughter and joy, and to create memories that would linger in their hearts for years to come.

And as the fog slowly lifted, revealing the world around them in all its ordinary beauty, Y/N realized that sometimes, the most remarkable moments were the ones that unfolded in the simplest of moments.
