Chapter 4: Summer's POV

I woke up in my alarm at 7. I just turned it off and sleep again. But then i remembered i have something to do. I forced myself to get out of bed. I stretched and stood up. Did my daily routine. I know it's a weekday but i'm not going to school. I now hate school more because of that studyguard. After making myself look great, i grabbed my skateboard. I hiked down, have my breakfast and went to Skater's square. My father's gone early to his work, i called it. I skated my way to Skate's square.

When i arrived..

"hey, the skate queen's just arrived!" John called to everyone. We knew each other here in Skate's square. It's the only popular skating spot here in our city. They all greeted me when i approached. They called me skate queen coz i'm the best female skater here.

"com'on everyone, let's get started!" I said excitedly. I put down my bag at one of the benches and started riding my skate to the area. Someone turned on a music that matches what we do. We're all having a good time. When it's already nine, i take a break. I walked towards my bag to drink my water. Just then finished drinking, my phone rang. I opened it and see an unknown number on the screen. It's been calling me in 9th time. Who could this be? I can only answer my question if i answer the call. So i answered it and this is how it goes.

Me: who are you? (i asked directly.)

Caller: Summer! Where the heck are you?! (he asked angrily. And that he, is Mr. Perfect. I recognize his voice directly. His voice sounded hot too. Not just his looks and body. Oh god, i shouldn't be thinking things like this right now, or ever. Then something came up in my mind. I even smirked at my idea.) Summer! Are you still there?

Me: oh yeah. Just thinking how hot you sounded. Very manly. (of course i haven't said that to him.)

Mr. Perfect: Summer, where are you?

Me: don't worry. I'll come after graduation. (i said sarcastically. It's true anyway. Summer's coming after graduation. It's still fall now. I'm talking about the climate seasons.)

I'm sure he'll explode in anger anytime at the other line, or he already did. How did he got my number anyway?

I heard him took a deep breath. Maybe composing himself.

Mr. Perfect: Summer, if you don't get here--

Me: come here in Skate's square, beat me in skate then i'll attend my classes for the rest of the day.

(i offered. Of course i know what he'll respond. He won't ditch any of his class just to get me to school. He's not stupid to do that. And also, i never planned to attend all my classes all day. And i never completely attend my classes for the day. Sometimes i even skip all my classes. I'm tired of going school really, but why am i still in school? Just because to have something to do and it's usually where teens go.)

Mr. Perfect: keep that as a promise coz i'll really do everything to get you here.

Me: what---

He ended the call. He can't be serious. Really going here than to his class. I return the phone to my bag. I stood and got back to skating. That would probably just a joke.

After 10 minutes, i think. A red audi parked at the parking side. It's kind of familiar but i just ignored it. I continue on skating.

"Hey, Summer!" I looked over to the direction where my name's called.

Then i froze in my spot. I stopped in middle of my companions that are still doing tricks or moves.

He's approaching to me now.

"Hey, Summer, who's that?" John tapped my shoulder and i just got my senses.

"uh.." I cleared my throat. "someone from school." I answered.

"why is he here?"

"to skate, i guess. I'll approach him." Then i skated my way to Mr. Perfect.

"why are you here? What the fuck are you doing here?" I questioned directly. I'm very irritated in seeing him here and now.

"oh, aren't you the one who told me to be here? To beat you in skate? Or maybe you've changed your mind because you're afraid now that i might beat you." He said in a narrow eyes. He's just few inches away from me. Even if i'm on my skate, he's still taller than me.

"i'm not. I'm more afraid to take my classes. And, aren't you being stupid? For ditching you're class just to drag me to school." I narrowed my eyes as well.

"you're the one making me stupid, Summer."

"well, maybe. And I like it." I smirked in his face. I can see that he really wanted to punch my face but just resisting himself to do it.

"so, you challenging me?" He asked to change the subject before he explodes.

"no. You're not worth of my time so just go back to school and stick your butt at the books."

"what?" He stared at me in disbelief and i see half amused look on his face at the same time. "you made me come here, ditch my class, then, you'll just say that i go back to school and stick my butt at the books?"

I noded.

"what the hell Summer." He grabbed my arm and pull me closer to his face. His eyes are full of anger. And i scented his cologne, very manly. He's damn hot though he wants to kill me now. "don't. Ever. Play. With. Me." He emphasized each word.

"skate queen, is everything okay?" Seth asked me.

I looked at Seth. "don't mind us." I said then i turn my attention again at Mr. Perfect. "let go of me." I'm trying to pull away from his grip but his hands are like steel that sticked to my arm.

"skate queen?" He had his knot on his forehead. "so you're the best here. Then why are you backing away in your offer earlier? You afraid that i could kick your ass?"

"fuck, no. Why should i? And anyway i'm just the best girl skater here. So if you can defeat me, you can be the skate king. So it won't change my title. Just that, i could have some partner."

"then let's get started." He finally let go of my soring arm from his hands. I bet his grip will leave a red mark at my arm. "lend me some skateboard and a shoes."

"that will be your problem." I said. He looked pissed. He looked through and pass me.

"hey, everyone!" He called as he clapped his hands. "your skate queen challenged me earlier." That sentence caught everyone's attention. They stopped skating, stopped the music and turn their heads and ears to him. "But when i came here, she took it back. Maybe she's afraid that i could beat her. So it's my turn to challenge her. And she accepted it finally. But i don't have any skate shoes and skate board with me because i'm from school when she asked for me to come."

Then suddenly, everyone offered their skateboard and shoes to him.

He looked at everyone's skate board and shoes. They're forming a circle around him. I left behind and just watched the crowd with my crossed arms.

"well, let's see." I heard him.

I can't really hear what he's talking inside that circle because everyone seems to be talking. But i happen to hear almost of the girls asking for his number, his name and obviously they're interested to him.

Now, i'm thinking. Is this guy has a girlfriend? I never really heard a gossip in school about him having a girlfriend or dating someone in the past two years . Maybe he's a gay. I laughed at my own thought. But com'on, there are possibilities. But i hope he's not. Such a waste if he is. But if he really is a gay, i swear i will turn him into a man.

When the crowd spread to any direction now and i can clearly see him with a skateboard and shoes, i skated to him.

"ready?" I asked and ceased in front of him.

"always." He mumbled.

We skated to the starting area.

"John, put the music on." I called.

When the music played, the battle begins.
