Momentarily Out of Action

Start from the beginning
                                    

Brushing away the scary thought I focused on the road a little more. I was just about to be right across from my house, when suddenly this car was right in front of me. With no way of stopping in time, I threw up my arms just before the impact came.

I was knocked off my board and fell onto the street. Car doors flew open as several teens my age quickly came to my side. "Way to go Forman!" I heard a male voice say.

"Oh my god, oh my god! Is she dead!?!" Another male voiced said this one sounding more panicked.

I'm lucky it wasn't a very hard impact to do any serious damage. I slowly sat up and looked at the people around me. There was one girl, a tall red head, and four guys, one of which was foreign. All I could do was look around at the eyeballs around me, not sure what to say. I must've hit my head a little too hard as The silence between all of us was becoming awkward.

"She must be deaf, she can't speak!" A tall brown haired man exclaimed shrugging his shoulders.

"That's called being mute cabrón!" I responded finally saying something. The gang in front of me was taken aback at my anger. The scrawny boy step towards me.

"I am so sorry, I didn't even see you. I'm really sorry. Ah my dad is gonna freak. Your parents are gonna freak. Please don't freak." He profusely apologizes in a panicked frenzy.

I steadily put my hand up. "Listen, all can be forgiven if I can get some of that keg I saw you guys unload. After today, I could use a beer. Just let me have a drink or two and none of this gets repeated to anyone."

"Deal!" Everyone simultaneously said, several pairs of hands were in front of me helping me back up. I winced slightly as the fall definitely gave me some scrapes and bruises. "I'm Donna, by the way. You must be the new neighbors across the street." The red head says after helping me up.

"Uh yeah actually, I'm J.J." I shake her hand. I turn around and begin looking around for where my board could've gone.

"Looking for this?" I turn around to see the curly haired boy from earlier holding my skateboard. I step forward to take it back from him.

"Thanks, I'm glad to see it's still in one piece." I hold the board close to me. I glance at his face getting a better look at his features. He had a curly mop of hair with some side burns, and he hid his eyes behind dark shades. "I'm J.J. and you are?"

"Call me Hyde." He responds. "Now hurry up, do you want a beer or not?" He begins to walk back to the car that was still parked in the driveway.

"I'll be right there, just let me go tell my dad!" I shout as I rushed back inside. I set my skate board in my room and began to look for my dad. I found him unpacking his room just down the hall. "Hey dad, a few of the kids across the street offered to show me around town. Is it alright if I go ahead and hang out with them?" I asked sweetly. 

Dad looked back up at me smiling. "I'm so glad you're already making friends. Alright, just be careful. And don't get into any trouble!" He says kissing my head.

"I promise I won't dad." I smile. I rushed back outside and jumped into the vista cruiser with these new strangers. Let's pray I don't get murdered tonight.

"Michael this is our secret make out place. I did not swipe the key from my mother's Realestate office so you could have a party, or invite random girls from the street here either." The small brunette, Jackie I think, pouted to her boyfriend who was holding her and kissing her neck. Yuck pda

"Well tell your boyfriend to look both ways before he pulls the car into the street." I huff under my breath. She was bitchy about me being here and I just wanted a drink.
