Be careful, if you don't pick a side you may get caught in the cross-fire...

Thankfully her training ear of knowing her surroundings, Calli wasn’t too surprised to hear Boyd. But also played a little of him scaring her, since she knew it made him laugh. Gross. “Yeah, yeah. I have too cute of palms and knees to be scraping up right now,” Calli laughed.
She considered his question on color, forgetting that there was even the option. A lot of the roller skate girls had them, especially the brand Moxi. Not thinking, Calli chose the color scheme of Jade by Moxi. Knowing her though, she’d probably come back to pay Mr. Reid directly. Her mom probably would’ve been side-eyeing her if she hadn’t given something at least.
“Privileges of being friends with the cool kid,” Calli winked. “But I am ready to probably fall on my ass!” she grinned, starting to open her pads. “I’ll need to borrow a helmet, though.” It was a requirement of the skatepark, no matter how old. Kid or adult.
Calli couldn’t help but giggle at her friend’s eagerness. She didn’t blame her though. Boys were on the rage at the barn it felt, especially with more coming in. Though it was still hard to gauge which team someone was batting for. Heck, Calli didn’t know what team she was batting for either.
Her thumb moved around and Sabrina’s account was picked up. “Her personal is private but it looks like she linked the family barn…” Calli opened it up, and the first block – there was a picture of Ronan in his gear holding the lead of a horse that looked massive. “But what does it mean?!” she asked Brooklyn, knowing full well that she probably didn’t know either.
“That’s good. At least they care about your health more than you do,” she smirked. Maybe overworking was a genetic trait in the family, something that Cali thankfully haven’t received. While she worked hard, it was because she knew how to mage herself. Probably from seeing her parents and brother just never have time for themselves, she was determined not to do that.
When he mentioned the treats that sounded like her. Better the kids to do it, than them. If Cali fell, she would heal faster – that’s for sure. “Sounds like a plan, soldier,” Cali smiled, giving a salute. “Let me grab a claw clip and I’ll meet you downstairs.”
“I think I do? If not, I can definitely see if they're public or not. We should have a few mutuals so if they are private, I can definitely weasel myself in.” Calli took out her phone and opened the app, and began typing in the sister that would definitely have a public page, Piper.
“They're all college dudes, so I guess they're men. I don't know how Alana doesn't flirt with them.” In reality, Cali knew why. Her boss had a long term boyfriend, who owned one of the local clothing stores. But it made Cali wonder if she could teach a pottery class. Do that classic Patrick Swayze scene. “Girl wise? I think a good chunk of them are cute. Like you! But I think a few of them have a big stick in their ass,” Cali snickered.
She returned to her phone and realized she had indeed followed Piper. When, she didn't know. “I follow Piper. She mostly posts stuff about costumes but I can see if Ronan and Sabrina are on the gram.”
Cali nodded along with her friend’s words. “I’m convinced my teacher is wondering if I’ll ever pick up the pace! But they’re getting my money, so they can’t be too mad.” Some people may call Cali a waste of space and time, but everything is about money nowadays. For the most part, it was her own money paying for her lessons. Cali didn’t come from a wealthy family by any means. Her brain and her work ethic got her where she was.
“Oh, yeah! I hear the forest and the waterfall are pretty this time of year.” Granted, the color changes in leaves were nowhere near the beauty of Vermont – a state she had visited many moons ago. Cali watched as her friend mulled over her question, and her reaction seemed to make her wonder if the question was hurtful. But Brooklyn answered her.
“That is true! We don’t know what they don’t let us know. You know me, I am far too invested in finding information.” Cali, like most girls – was a great internet sleuth. She liked backtracking and all that, something her brother insisted she stop. But he couldn’t complain too much when her abilities helped him locate the dresser that their mom desired from a thrift store.
“Ugh, I wish there was something in my love life,” Cali snorted, twirling a finger in some loose hair. “There are some cute guys that come through at work. But they’re all way too old. Why do people our age have to look so..blegh? Like…that patchy so-called beard ain’t it!”
Calli couldn’t help but smile when it was her older brother. Is work ethic made him not around as much, which sucked. But she was always happy when he was around. Granted that she was the one that did all the talking usually. Though, she had been meaning to ask him about this certain lady friend of his. Someone that she had seen him talking to a few times.
“Just a minute.” The teen sent a quick text to her friends saying she would be AFK for a bit but would text them or chat in memes and gifs when she had the moment. Calli slipped on her fuzzy Crocs and opened her door. “Surprised you’re home. I thought you were busy trying to find silly stuff to work on.”
Calli couldn’t help but grin when Brooklyn commented on her masterful skills. “Bah, it’s mainly because I’m sure if I went any slower, my brother and dad would be all up in arms.” While they were never hounding her to go faster or anything, they taught her more efficient ways to get things done. Of course, her father was a firm believer in purposely slowing things down if the pay was by the hour. Or if a client was giving you a hard time. Her brother, on the other hand, was too much of a workaholic.
“Hey! That’s a good thing, right? Just means that the coaches think you’re ready for the next hardest thing.” Calli herself wasn’t that ambitious. Unlike her friends, she wasn’t going out and competing. At least, fully. Calli was looking forward to a jumping event in the spring. But she couldn’t put in the work or time yet. Which is why she was leasing a horse.
“They did. We had a small trip up, but I fucked up my special awareness for a moment,” she laughed. Calli returned her eyes to Ronan, Brooklyn’s little crush. Or maybe it was a major crush. “Have you figured out if he’s actually serious with whatever her name is?” Calli prodded.

Other Is one of Calli's friends from Willow Brooke Academy. Out of the friend group, he is the most like Calli. He somehow managed to squeak his way into the school with a full ride. Despite being just as smart, he's very lazy and thrives on pushing things to the last minute. This on occasion has caused him to butt heads with any of the people he does group school work with. The only time he isn't lazy or sluggish is when he's with the gang.

It was time. Well, kind of. Calli had convinced Boyd to finally teach her how to skate an actual skateboard. While she knew how to ride a cruiser, it was completely different than riding a smaller wheelbase and harder wheels. There was something scarier riding closer to the ground, even though it wasn’t that much of a difference.
He had told Callie to meet him at the skate park in the city, the one that was attached to his dad’s shop. It would be allegedly quiet since it was still a warm day. Also, a school day. Callie told herself that she would at least be falling in front of a cute boy. She didn’t know what it was about Boyd, but Callie felt things when she hung out with him.
She texted him that she was in the shop and would be buying some pads. Callie knew she would look stupid, but it would keep her mother’s worries down a bit more even though Callie had ridden a cruiser board, barefoot on the beach sidewalk. A slight frown crossed her lips, not even knowing where to look. They all looked…the same.
