Skateboarding: The Musical ~ ON ICE (open)

[Maisie Pryce]

"SO HELLO FROM THE OTHER SIIIIIIIIDE, I MUST HAVE CALLED A THOUSAND TIIIIIIIMES~!!!" Maisie crooned (off-key and out of tempo) as she careened over the concrete sidewalk that led to the courtyard. She'd been navigating some of the lesser known walkways for the better half of an hour trying to get a feel for the icy conditions and was more or less able to keep herself from slipping on the iced over parts. Luckily the school seemed to enjoy salting all the walkways so that made it ever so much easier to speed down them at breakneck speeds as she was wont to do.

She kept “singing” at the top of her lungs and took a jump down a set of stairs, barely missing a couple holding hands that were coming up. She was starting to get hungry, she should swing around the courtyard and head back to the cafeteria so that she could eat. As she decided that this decision was the best she saw that she was coming up to a part of the courtyard where she could circle on her skateboard without having to get off and turn around. However, she saw it just as she was hollering the rest of the chorus and wasn’t really in a position to change her direction so abruptly. As a result her skateboard wobbled beneath her, hit a snag and sent her tumbling head over heels into a nearby snowdrift that was thankfully deep enough and soft enough to accept her bodily sacrifice for the sake of her art and sport.

There was a muffled curse, a grunt and then another curse as she finally righted herself and stuck her head out of the snow. “THE COLD NEVER BOTHERED ME ANYWAY!” she howled at the top of her lungs in defiance of the winter weather. She patted her face to examine it. Other than a raw spot on the side of her forehead and her lip she wasn’t bleeding. She could tell that there would be some pretty nice bruises on her knees from her landing but other than that she did not seem to be overly hurt. She looked around to see if anyone had seen her and found that yeah…pretty much everyone in the area had seen her sail over the concrete, screeching “Hello” before she had spectacularly face planted.

Naturally Maisie did the only thing she could do in the situation. She took a bow.

[Hunter and Terrence Park]

Once again the Park twins were bored. Perhaps a change in scenery would get rid of their boredom. They walked around campus. They wanted to throw snowballs at unsuspecting couples. Unfortunately, the snow was light powdery kind of snow. Not the good packing snow. So their snowballs never made it to a ball shape. Hunter threw the powder snow in frustration.

The brothers continue their walk until they reached the courtyard. Terry pulled out a pack of cigarettes. Hunter and Terry each lit a cigarette. The Park twins stood around smoking. The sound of bad singing and a skateboard caught their attention. They looked to see some chick belting it out as speed down the walkway on her skateboard. Hunter and Terry were totally entertained when the chick wiped her self out and dived into a snow bank. She popped out of the snow like a daisy and took a bow. The Park twins had found their entertainment.

Hunter snuffed out his cigarette. Terry held his cigarette in his lips. The two brothers walked over to the face-planting chick. Terry applauded. “That was quite the show.” Hunter said to her. “Can we see it again?” Terry added.

[Maisie Pryce]

Maisie finished dusting off as much snow as she could and faced the two boys that had suddenly come upon her. "Oh hey...no." she laughed. "I'd rather like to not wipe out again if that's okay?" she laughed again. "Besides it would be a lot more fun if you just watched me skateboard. Oh! Or I don't know doing something else! What are you guys doing out here?" she wondered out loud, even though she could see that at least one of them was smoking. It wasn't like that was any of her business though. "I'm Maisie by the way, nice to meet you!" she chirped suddenly. "I don't think I've seen you guys around but there are a lot of kids here," she added.

Damnit her knees stung, she might have to soak them later. She could still walk but it might be difficult to ride her skateboard for a while while they were cold and starting to ache.

[Hunter and Terrence Park]

“Boo! No encore? Bummer.” Hunter looked to his brother. Terry took the cigarette out of his mouth. He blew out the smoke. “If there’s no encore then when’s the next show? We want front row seats.”

This girl was a weird one. The brothers had decided that while she was talking. Who would skateboard during winter? Sure, this winter wasn’t a typically winter in Vermont. This was the first person the Park twins saw skateboarding this winter. This chick was either really brave or really stupid.

“Terry.” The brown haired boy with the cigarette said. Terry dropped his cigarette and snuffed it out with his foot. “Hunter.” Said the brother with the blond hair with the dyed blue patch. “And what are we doing out here?” “None of your business.” That was the brothers way of saying that their were bored and had nothing to do.
