Keep holding on [open]

[MICAH RODRIGUEZ]

Micah was so tired of being alone, locked away in his new apartment. Not exactly locked away, but might as well been from being so lonesome. Being the new kid had its downs, but only one up. No one knew you to even start drama with you, and that was fantastic, but it was time to man up, and get out there in this dramatic College and city.

On his way home one day from grabbing something to eat, he noticed this skate park, it wasn't really popular, or it didn't seem to be on that day, and he just so happened to have promised himself that he would check it out. So this morning, he got up early, got dressed and put his DC's on, picked out which board he wanted to use then left his apartment finally. Once he had arrived, there were a few kids there but he figured more would come as the day moved on, but for now thank god no one was there to watch him.

It wasn't that Micah couldn't skateboard, because that wasn't the case, he loved it. It was the only athletic thing he did actually, besides going to the gym every now and then to keep his body fit. Micah had been skating for about three months now, and mastered most of the skills and all of the basics. Turning his hat backwards he squinted his eyes from the sun while he got out of his car and walked over to the nearest equipment, threw down his board and began doing his own thing.

About an hour past and only about two more kids had came ,and Micah had to confess it was time for a break, his feet hurt and he needed something to drink, thank god there was water in the car. So, he went out to get it then came back and sat on the concrete watching other people pull off moves. Well this is entertaining..

When bored...go to the skatepark. Seemed like a good thing to do. After putting his cereal bowl in the sink, he grabbed the keys to his Mustang off the counter and walked out of his apartment. Like always, it was sunny with minimal clouds in the sky. Las Vegas seemed to always be sunny and full of life. Hot, but...nice. Slipping on a pair of black Ray Bans, he glanced around the parking lot.

Where did he park that damn car?

Clicking the panic button, the familiar car alarm went off, and he walked towards where the sound was coming from. Ah, hidden behind some douchebags Surburban. Alright, then. Clicking the unlock button to de-active the alarm, he opened the drivers side door to the blue and white 2008 Ford Mustang, and slid in. Yeah, the car was his baby. Between the multiple upgrades to the engine and NOS installed, it was basically spotless. Even the black leather seats looked brand new.

Pushing down on the clutch, he started the car and put it into first - heading off towards the skatepark. It was something to do. Exercise and outside time. Whoooohooo! Soon, he pulled into the skatepark and parked the Mustang, climbing out (since no matter who you are, you climbed out of the damn thing) and opening the trunk, grabbing out his skateboard. Not a lot of his /friends/ skated, but it never stopped him.

A lot of the kids were familiar, except one. Who was either just watching, or taking a break. Rolling over, he stopped and kicked his board up, grabbing it and sitting down next to the kid. "You new here?" Jake asked, a friendly smile on his face. Could never have too many friends, right? Sticking his hand out, he introduced himself. "My name's Jake," Even after being in the States for what seemed like years, he still had that French accent; just couldn't shake it. Lame.


ooc: >>?

Micah had his head turned in another direction when the guy came and sat by him. He was actually really focused on this kid that looked around the age of ten if younger. The kid was better than Micah already, and it didn't shock Micah but he found it just about the most interesting thing to do while he waited to regain his energy,then he heard a voice. Deep, and it had a thick accent to it. French?

Turning his head quickly, he looked at the guy who sat next to him, and tried to immediately turn his shocked face back to normal. After the guy named Jake, finished speaking and Micah had shook his hand, Micah brought his legs up and rested his elbows on his knees, dangling the water bottle from his fingertips. Oh uh...Yeah, I'm new.Lifting a hand he wiped a bead of sweat from his forehead. I'm Micah, by the way. Micah said while he looked at the guy.

Haha, aw, poor kid was shocked. Not the first time that's happened. Jake's eyes went over towards the kid Micah had been looking at. "He's pretty good, huh? Kid's out here like everyday, all day." He commented, watching the kid as well. He was truly talented at skateboarding. Jake predicted he'd be in the X-games someday. Or..famous, in one way or another (involving Skateboarding, of course..)

"Nice to meet you, Micah." Could never have too many friends. Especially the ones who didn't suck or weren't totally straight edge. Ugh. "Here for school or something?" Micah looked too young to be here for something like a job. But really, who knew anymore. Pulling a pack of cigarettes from his back pocket, he pulled a lighter out of the pack as well as a cigarette, and offered one over to the kid sitting next to him. "Want one?"

[MICAH RODRIGUEZ]

Awkward moment. It might not have been awkward for the other guy, but some stranger just coming up and talking to Micah was weird to him, at least at first. He wasn't always like this, but lately being cooped up in the apartment alone forever now, was finally getting to him. This was a major problem now, maybe he should apologize to the guy in advance so he didn't think there was something wrong with him.

Nodding to Jake's words about the little boy with skills, Jake then started watching the kid again. Watching the kid made things a bit more less awkward. Yeah, I'm here from San Jose for Winchester. So far I've been alone for so long in my apartment that I think I might be going insane, so..Here I am Micah ended his explanation with a laugh then shook his head and motioned his hand at the cigarette pack. I don't smoke or drink anymore.

Jake nodded, putting his cigarettes away and lighting one, taking a drag. Ahh yeah. "You came here for Winchester? That's pretty rad." He replied with a smile, finally taking his eyes off the kid, and back to Micah. Aw, holed up in his apartment? That was just miserable. Unless he had video games, food, and beer. Then it was okay. Otherwise, no.

"Oh, well, you know. It's good to make new friends, I guess?" Shrugging, he took another drag. "I mean, there are some catty bitches around here, but for the most part it's pretty chill. After all, it is Vegas." Jake smiled. Yeah, crazy people walking around the strip. Drunk people...everywhere. Even Reno was crazy...then again, the whole Nevada thing seemed to make people crazy. Maybe it was something in the air. Or maybe people just thought this was a good place to go ape-shit crazy.

"What're you taking over at Winchester? I know some of the professors.."

[MICAH RODRIGUEZ]

They pretty much thought about the same thing when he made the friends comment. Sure, you needed friends and it never hurt to make any, or did it? There were bad friends out there, once who used you, ones who f*cked you over daily. Those friends who talked about you, just those who betray you in general, and in Las Vegas where you have a "good time" get drunk, and have money problems, stealing and such from friends would be a normal thing. Now he was just rambling, but making a point to himself, Watch out for who you become friends with.

How weird? Jake asked what classes Micah was taking, but he said he knew professors, shouldn't he say he knows students there? Well that was kind of off ,but he guessed he was going to find out about it anyways. Shrugging Micah unscrewed the bottle's top and took a swig of water before twisting the top back onto the bottle. Photography and Theater, but I think photography is gonna give me more of a chance.Turning his head from looking straight ahead he looked to Jake, and seriously asked him. So..you know professors, huh?

"Theater is pretty rad. You could just major in photography and minor in theater.." Jake said, almost as if he were talking to himself. Another drag, he chuckled. "Yeah, I'm done with school. One of the professors used to be my girlfriend, and some of the others are my friends." Shrugging nonchalantly, maybe he didn't quite act - or look - his age, but he didn't care. Until jailbait girls arrived and then he was gone. "I know a lot of the kids too, I guess. My sister is still in school, and I tattoo down at Styx." Another drag. So calming.

"Aren't there good schools over in San Jose?" Jake asked curiously. Still trying to figure out why he would move here. But, it didn't really matter. Maybe it was a cover, or something. Maybe he was in witness protection. Okay, clearly he had seen too many movies and TV shows. In Plain Sight was pretty rad, though. Jake's mind seemed to be all over the place today. Been sober for far too long...scary.

[MICAH RODRIGUEZ]

That was a good idea, well Micah was doing that anyways, the majoring in photography but the other part of the suggestion never even crossed his mind. Huh..Good IdeaWhile Jake was talking Micah stretched out his legs, damn that felt good from sitting in the same position for a while now.

Girlfriend? Micah had to admit, that was hot. Why? I guess it was just naturally hot to everyone, be with a teacher? See what they were like behind closed doors? He could see why, unless they were old. Micah shook his head when Jake mentioned San Jose. Yeah, there is a few colleges ,but I had to get away from there. Topic change time, let's ask you some questions, Jake. Professor, huh? Which one? Hopefully she wasn't old..
