The next day after witnessing Stevie almost die I headed back to the shop. I smiled at the boys as I walked in and noticed a quiet Ruben minding his own business.
I didn't know what he had been so mad about lately?
Was there something he was hiding from me?
"Hey Scout," Ray greeted me with a smile.
"Hey," I replied before hugging him and waving over at Fuck shit and Fourth grade.
I walked over to Ruben behind the counter and sat next to him.
"Hey..." I greeted Ruben softly, getting a small smile from him.
The bell ranged, showing Stevie walking in. We all looked over at him, noticing the head bandage under the hat he was wearing.
"Fuck, shit, look at this crazy ass nigga right here," Fuck shit laughed as Stevie smiled at him.
"You're fucking insane," I told him.
He looked over at me with a smile and waved.
"How yo head psycho?" Ray asked Stevie.
"Its fine," Stevie answered, laughing quietly.
Ruben sat there quietly, not saying anything and eating his food he had.
"No Sunburn, it's definitely not fine. Its some fucked up shit going on up there." Ray told him.
I nodded in agreement and laughed.
"That board's looking pretty fucked up," Ray continued.
Stevie's board was now chipped and cracked. Mainly because it was worn out from Ruben, but it was definitely fucked up after that fall.
"Yeah," Stevie simply said.
Ray turned around and grabbed a yellow board. Ruben looked at him confused, then at me.
'I dont know,' I mouthed to him with a shrug.
"You should probably ride one of these," Ray said giving the board to Stevie.
"I- Oh- I dont have any money..." Stevie stuttered.
I laughed and shooked my head, looking at him.
"God, you're clueles," I told him with a smile.
"No, you dont understand, this is yours," Ray laughed.
"No one will be missing it," Fuck shit smiled.
Stevie looked at the new board amazed and shocked.
"Are you fucking serious!?" Stevie yelled.
"Are you fucking serious?" Ruben asked before storming out the door.
All of the four of us glanced at Ruben. I stared at him as he left out the door.
"Come back with some skittles!" Ray yelled at Ruben.
I looked at them then in front of me. Quickly, I grabbed my boared and started to walk from the counter.
"I gotta go," I told them, rushing out of the store.
I spotted Ruben starting to skate down the street.
"Ruben!" I yelled as I started to skate faster, trying to catch up to him.
After skating through a small crowd of little kids I caught up with him. I grabbed the back of his hoodie, making him and myself stop.
"What do you want?!" Ruben yelled, turning around.
When he noticed it was me his face fell soft.
"Why'd you leave?" I asked him.
Ruben looked at the floor and said nothing.
"Why'd you leave Ruben?" I asked again.
"I-" Ruben started.
"Scout!" I heard Fuck shit yell, skating up to me.
I looked at Fuck shit then at Ruben.
"I-I gotta go." Ruben said before glaring at Fuck shit then looking at me softly.
I watched him skate away, sighing. Fuck shit put a hand on my shoulder and looked at me.
"You okay?" He asked.
"Yeah..." I mumbled.
Fuck shit walked in front of me and looked at me in my eyes.
"Are you? Be honest with me..." He said.
"I... I was just trying to talk to him.." I told Fuck shit.
"Just give him some time, come on." Fuck shit said picking up my board and taking a hold of my hand.
I looked back at Ruben skating away in the distance before looking back at the shop.
