My Heartless Princess

CHAPTER 2 : Long time no see... my skateboard

Nilibot ko ang paningin sa paligid at pansin kong mas dumarami pa ang sasakyang dumarating at napapahinto. At dahil dito'y mas dumadami ang taong nagrereklamo dahil sa traffic. Napapailing na lang tiningnan ko ang mga ito. What else could be worser than this? Kinuha ko na lang ang phone kong nasa bulsa ko. I turned it on and dialled my butler's number. I sighed in relief when he immediately answered it. Ngunit bago pa man ito makapagsalita ay inunahan ko na ito.

"Pick up my car, now!" I coldly said and quickly ended the call. Alam niya na ang kaniyang gagawin kaya hindi ko na pinahaba pa ang usapan. Mayroong tracking device ang kotse ko kaya madali lang itong mahanap ng aking butler. So, I don't have to worry about it. Ang kailangang gawin ko ngayon ay ang pumasok. Hindi na ako magtataka kung kanina pa nagsimula ang klase, sa hinaba-haba ba naman ng traffic. Tss,

I put back my phone inside my pocket and position my self. My left foot remains on my skateboard while the other is on the ground. I heaved a deep sigh before making my first move. Hooh! This is it! After a long time, I will be able to use my skateboard. Using my right foot I push it to move forward not minding all the people looking at on my direction. Gano'n ba talaga ako kaganda? What the hell, Aevy?... ang hangin mo. Tsk

Or is it because of my outfit? Napatingin naman ako sa suot ko. I'm wearing a white crop-top paired with black skinny jeans, and a white sneaker. If you're wandering why they're white when in fact dark colors are my fav. Well I have decided to wear something with white color since I'm going to attend a class. Paniguro kukulitin ako ni Cass if hindi ako magsusuot ng puti. That loud-mouthed girl, tsk ewan ko ba kung bakit naging kaibigan ko iyon.

And since I'm wearing a crop-top, my flat stomach is visible at pansin ko ang mga malilikot nilang mata mula rito dahil sa suot ko. Seriously, hindi naman masyadong agaw pansin itong suot ko ah or maybe not? Whatever, tsk. Ipinagsawalang bahala ko na lang iyon at hindi na lang pinansin ang matang nakasunod sa akin.

Gamit ang skateboard ko, dumaan ako sa bawat espasyong nakikita ko sa pagitan ng mga kotse. Hindi alintana ang mga taong nagrereklamo. I skated smoothly, not minding the cars that's been blocking my way. While skating, I also pays attention to which foot I'll use to step forward from a still, standing position. The foot I put back to catch my balance is the one that should go on the tail of my skateboard while riding. Downhill skateboarding is all about speed. There aren't any fancy tricks involved. Just like downhill skiing, the objective here is to finish a run with the lowest time, and at the highest speed. And that's what I'm doing right now.

At dahil madami ang mga kotseng naka-standby dahil sa traffic ay walang masyadong espasyong madaanan. Kaya nama'y napipilitan akong tumatalon sa itaas ng kotse kasabay ng skateboard ko. I uses one of the tricks in skateboarding which is the Ollie, —a simple jump that allows a skateboarder to gain air (as in vert skating), and hop over or onto obstacles while riding. 

I kicks the tail of my board to the ground, and leaps into the air. Leaving the front foot resting on the board as I jumps, I brings my rear foot up to the height of the other. The board pops up beneath me and catches up to my feet. Rinig na rinig ko pa ang nagagawang kalabog sa bawat parte ng sasakyang nalalapagan ko. But I just ignored it.  Cool nga eh, and I like what I'm doing. Kung ganito na lang parati... aba! parang gugustohin kong matraffic araw-araw. Para mabawasan naman ang mga sasakyan sa kalsada.

(*Evil smile~) Ang bad mo talaga kahit kailan Aevy. Tsk, tsk, tsk...

Napailing na lang ako at ipinagpatuloy ang pag-iiskates. Sobrang pasasalamat ko nang makalayo ako roon at parang nakahinga pa ako ng maluwag. Hayysss... finaly,

I sighed in relief when I gotten myself out from that long traffic jam. Hindi ko na rin inalala pa ang kotse ko dahil paniguro'y nandoon na rin ang tinawagan kong butler. Knowing that shameless prick, he never makes me fail in everything. That's why I really trust him a lot because he's the only one who understands me most of the time. Though my dalawa naman akong maunawain na  kaibiga'y iba pa rin siya. I treat him like one of my family, a brother perhaps. But, well mostly 'pag may topak ako sa ulo, siya ang napagbubuntunan ko.

Wala na akong sinayang pa na oras, sumasabay ako sa mga kotseng dumaraan sa gawi ko. Isang kamay lang ang ginagamit ko upang kumapit sa bubong ng mga ito.

Hinahayaan ko lang ang aking skateboard na makisabay sa bawat galaw ng kotseng dumaraan. Ang tanging ginagawa ko lang ay ang pagbabalanse. I should do this more often, it seems fun.

Pasipol-sipol pa ako habang nakatingin sa daan at sa bawat taong nakikita ko na parang sinusundan pa ako ng tingin.

Kita ko pa ang pagtataka sa kanilang mukha. Ang iba naman, namamangha pa na para bang hindi makapaniwala sa kanilang nakikita. Ngumisi na lang ako, sabay iling. Tsk, tsk, tsk...

Ola! Musta ang second chapter ko, pasensya na if hindi accurate ang pag skating ni Aevy sa chapter na ito. Hindi kasi ako marunong mag skate, (teka anong konek? chozz....) Well actually nag-search naman ako sa internet tungkol sa pag-skating hehe....

  ~ T R I V I A ~

In recent decades, skateboarding was associated with the punk rock scene of the late 1970s and early 1980s. Skateboarders came to be known as radical individuals -- a rebellious youth subculture with a death wish. Skateboarders were stereotyped as criminals, known for destroying property and despising authority. But not all skaters fit the old stereotype, and in many ways this persona is only a caricature. Today's skateboarders aren't associated with any one style of music or clothing (or with crime, for that matter). And not all of them are young anymore. Long-time professionals, like Tony Hawk, Rodney Mullen and Steve Caballero, have skated well into their 30s and 40s.

Vert skateboarding is all about catching big air and performing technical tricks before landing. It gets its name from the vertical structures and surfaces vert skaters ride, like half-pipes (large ramps with two inclines on both sides and a flat section in the middle) quarter-pipes and bowls (sort of like wooden swimming pools built especially for skateboarding). Vert skaters have also been known to invade backyards to skate emptied swimming pools, and hop fences to skate in concrete canals and drainage ditches.
