The Skater Girl

After school at the skatepark, Tyler flips tricks while Sarah sits in the shade, sweating in her tiny outfit, sipping soda and counting the minutes. This is her daily routine, and she is bored stiff. Three more skaters roll up, one of them a girl Sarah has never seen. Jenny clocks Sarah right away, peels off from the guys, and skates straight over. Introductions fly; Jenny admits she bailed on school the day she turned eighteen. Sarah laughs, half-jealous, and says her parents would murder her if she tried. Jenny nods at Tyler, still dicking around with his crew. “My place has a pool,” she says. “Wanna ditch?” Sarah glances at her clueless boyfriend, feels that little spark of rebellion, and says yes. They leave together. Jenny’s house is huge, all glass and money. Sarah is impressed; Jenny just shrugs about an absent dad and starts stripping like it’s nothing. Sarah stammers she forgot a suit. Jenny grins, tells her she doesn’t bother with one, then peels Sarah’s clothes off herself. Naked and tingling, they hit the water. Laughs turn into looks, then touches. Jenny’s hand slides over Sarah’s collarbone. “Forget about him,” she whispers. Their mouths meet, soft at first, then hungry. Seconds later they’re racing up the stairs, two naked skater girls about to tear each other apart.
