Chapter 1

Shin looked up at the tall buildings surrounding the park. It was an odd place to put a park, Shin thought, as it was practically closed in by buildings. He had had to go through an office building just to get here. But it was worth it. It was a big place, full of boys and girls, kids his age, and some younger. Even a couple adults. He opened the gate and walked in. His clothes were a tad bit different than some of the other teen's. But just a little brighter, nothing too major. He was wearing bright teal skinny jeans, and a black t-shirt that said "Burn Baby" in big white letters, in English.

He tried to scout out the area of the park with the least amount of people, so that he could skate without being harrassed. He noticed a small bowl to the right, almost completely covered in grafitit. There were only a few kids, some skateboarders, some rollerbladers, in that area. He got on his board and pushed until he got to the bowl. He stopped when he got to the coping at the end, took a deep breath, and dropped in.

It felt good to be in one of these again, Shin thought. He had just recently moved to Tokyo, and has been having trouble fitting in. But that didn't bother Shin. It only bothered his parents. He shrugged that thought away and focused more on what he was doing. When he reached the other end of the bowl, he grabbed the edge of the bowl and did a small plant, until he went back down to the other side. He noticed as he went that the rollerbladers to the right were all looking at him in disgust. When he got off of his board, they started to approach him.

The tallest boy, who appeared to be the leader, addressed Shin first. "Who are you?" The boy asked, with anger in his voice. "We haven't seen you before." He added. "I'm new here." Shin said, rather quietly. The boy quickly snatched Shin's skateboard out of his hand. "You're a skater, huh?" He asked."Why? Why would you do something so stupid? Why not blade, like us?" The boy asked.

"You wanna hang out with the other skaters now, blow off all the bladers? Huh?" The boy was getting annoying, Shin thought. "I suppose." Shin said. "You all seem like a bunch of ******s anyway."
