There was a week left until camp started. I was already a really strong skater, because I had been skating since I was 5, but how could I improve? I didn't know, so I decided to just practice what I knew. I could spin, roll and skate backwards. I decided to go down my street's sidewalk to practice. My family's street was a culdesac, so no one really went in or out unless you live on the street.
I rolled and rolled around in my brand new roller-skates. Nothing could stop me now. All of a sudden, I saw someone just 3 feet away, so I screeched to a halt. It was Amanda Hawthorne-roller-skater and the most rude and snooty person to walk the planet.
"Wow Leah. Try harder with your rolling. And if you even try you won't get there. As I always say to you don't keep rolling girl," Amanda said with a smirk on her face.
"You know what Amanda. I don't have to be perfect yet. I just signed up for roller-skating camp and they are going to help me improve," I said.
"Not the one in a week, right?" asked Amanda.
"Yeah, that one. Why? I asked.
"Because that's the one I just signed up for," Amanda said.
"Great. See you there Amanda," I said sarcastically.
And with that Amanda and I both made our way home.
