open red contest ends!

Be prepared because I’m going to win this contest in no time flat heh,

WOW MARIA HAS THE MOST CONFIDENT LOOK I’VE EVER SEEN AND THIS IS MY 32ND YEAR OF LIFE!!!

I CALL THIS ONE THE HANNAH HANDFUL

w-WAIT WAS THAT A JUDO POP SHUVIT? I’VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT!!!

T-THAT’S NOT ALL THIS TAKES A LOT OUT OF ME BUT

HAGGGGGGGGGGGGH!!!!!!

HANNAH HARDFLIPEX!

S-SHE JUST DID A 360 QUADRUPLE HARDFLIP N-NO WAY!!!

Damn! I can’t stick the landing though , but hey I blew lots of viewers' minds.

ALL THESE CONTESTANTS HAVE BEEN GREAT WELL… EXCEPT MAYBE 1

Sophie put on an overall weak performance. All she did was a bigflip it was a good trick. I'll grant her that but It’s the only trick she did!

But the good part was I was up next finally I can prove how great I am!

I climbed up the stairs too eager to think of anything else. I didn't even think of what tricks I’d do. But when I finally got to the top I got cold feet. It was a long drop!

But then I heard someone call out to me , probably noticing I was getting cold feet.

“ COME ON TOMIKO DON’T BACK OUT NOW YOU CAN DO THIS!”

It was Mr Braun who was my favorite teacher because he cared for his students supporting whatever they wanted to do like when my friend said she wanted to be a boxer he told her” well train hard and I know you can do It be sure to invite me to your first match though!” Sure Lot’s of teachers say these things but he’s the only one I’ve known to follow through to have his support lifted a huge weight off my shoulders. I clapped my cheeks and told myself I can do this!

GOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

I just followed my instincts and did a frontflip down the ramp I was going way faster than I ever had before. I think I was reaching 80 miles per hour! I grabbed the board as I was soon going to be airborne. I held the board in my hand, stuck my arms out, put my legs together like a cross and did a 360 backflip before landing. I couldn’t believe how well I did. Everyone was silent except Mr braun.

“ YEAH TOMIKO! I KNEW YOU HAD IT IN YOU WHOOO!!!”

I waved to him happily I didn’t even notice reichika approach me she said

“ Nice job, I didn't expect you to surpass me so fast! I’m happy for you, you've got this in the bag!”

“Well not everyone’s gone yet we still have hiroto the only guy here! He worries me”

“ like he could do better than you, Tomiko, you worry too much.”

“ well reichika if you say so then I’ve won already!”

“ That's the spirit now. I wanna go see Mr Braun. I miss him, he was so fun!”

“Yeah, let's go talk to him!”

But then we were stopped by the voice of the announcer!

ALRIGHTY FOLKS THIS IS OUR LAST SKATER HIROTO!

WELL MR ANNOUNCER YOU SAVED THE BEST FOR LAST NO WAY I COULDS LOSE TO ALL THESE GIRLS!

Wait what’d he say he thinks he can beat me because he is male in his dreams I know reichika was right after hearing him speak!

Right?

GOOOOOOOO!

He started out pretty strong with a laser flip but when he got to the air He quickly blew everyone’s mind he did a 900 judo flip! And he landed it perfectly!

A 900 is hard enough 2 and a half rotations but flipping too he had to be cheating right?

“ and that tomiko is how you blow minds not the sorry excuse for a trick you and everyone else did I will grant you that you were… impressive!”

Not only did he discredit all the hard work everyone put in he also looked down on all the woman there I just couldn’t bottle it in anymore I told him

“ well if you’re so good you’d have no problem beating me in a fight right?”

I never told anyone my past but it’s starting to resurface here against this guy. Why did he turn the gears in my head so much?

“ h-hey tomiko calm down let this joker believe whatever he wants.”

“Sorry reichika but that ain’t possible!”

“ I don’t know how your broken brains work but you can’t beat us men plain and simple! So no, I won't fight you.”

“ Oh do I, a feeble highschool girl, challenge your manhood so much!”

“ why you!! If that's what you wan-”

ALRIGHT THE JUDGES HAVE VOTED THE WINNERS ARE

3RD HANNAH

N-no way I did it!

2ND IS TOMIKO!!!!!

S-so that means this guy won first! After this was announced he formed a devilish smile made even more unsettling given his black hair was covering his eye! It terrified me to no end.

SO YOU ALREADY KNOW EVEN IF HIS ATTITUDE NEEDS FIXING HIROTO HAS WON FIRST PLACE!!!!!!!!

“ OH are you surprised like I said no woman could beat me next time try not to get so aggressive and be more submissive!”

“ That's quite enough, stop tormenting these poor girls!”

“ Who are you? the sugar daddy? Lameo!“

It was Mr Braun! Horito left without much fight after Mr Braun showed up! I don’t think he was afraid of Mr Bruan given he was your average looking bookworm, skinny huge glasses and short black hair.

“ hey girls sorry you didn’t get first but how about I take you to ice cream my treat!”

Of course we said yes we chatted along the way about random things even though Mr Braun was a teacher he felt more like a friend at that moment.

Of course Mr Braun asked about our favorite or preferred flavors since it was kind of late he had to get them from the grocery store but our store had a strict n o skateboards policy so me and reichka had to wait outside. When he finally came back out he gave me my favorite rocky road basic but I love it to death and Reichika birthday cake okay also basic but they are both really really good. But then I noticed.

“Mr Braun, where's your Ice cream?”

He said he was lactose intolerance So he couldn’t eat ice cream that day. Many tears were shed between me and Reichika for our teacher who had never had ice cream.

So we did the only logical thing. We sent him in with our money and told him to get whatever he wanted. He came out with a cookie and some sparklers. We went to the closest park and

We lit them while there wasn’t much to celebrate. It was fun running around playing with the sparklers to show our gratitude. Me and Reicka put on a show for Him. We skated around with the lit sparklers. By then it was pitch black so the sparklers looked extra bright. We got lucky not running into anything but we twirled the sparklers around almost like the traditional dance a geisha does.

Mr Braun had a great smile and he thanked us he never had friends growing up so this was the most fun he’s had everyone started to tear up so we put out the sparklers and were on our way back home this was a great day except for.

“ hey girls soaked in your loss to me yet! Hm”

I instantly knew that mocking tone from earlier it was

“ HOROTO COME TO FIGHT HUH?”

I remembered why he makes me so mad he reminds me of the one man I hated so much!

That man was the Leader of the Mafia in America but My problem spawns that he killed my father!

My father was a great man who made bad decisions. My father is originally from America. He was in lots of debt to the mafia so he fled to japan where he became a yakuza boss. He met my mother. She was a new recruit, the daughter of the former boss. Of course she never wanted to be a yakuza or else my story would be very different. But when the mafia tracked my father down it was a war she had no choice but to fight but a week after her first fight she was taken out of the battle she was pregnant with me but without her help my father was eventually found and beheaded. I still remember my mothers face even though I was only 2. I can't forget the look my mother had. It was truly horrifying!

She just Stood up, stared at the ceiling, then looked at me. She had the look of someone with intense blood lust. She left the house that night and didn’t return for 2 whole days. I almost starved to death!

While that’s the price for what my dad did I can never forgive that man Bruno Ranton wel who cares I’m too cowardly to do anything anyway I’m just a humble skater.
