Cyberspace Romance

Zoey rushed down the busy streets of New York with her star bucks in hand. She was going to be late for work if she didn't hurry. She busted through the doors just in time for the odor of a perm hit her in the face causing her to scrunch her nose up in disgust. Her boss Jessica looked over at her and laughed.

"What happened?" Jessica ask.
"Oh, you know. The normal, Ryder unplugged my alarm clock while trying to dig through my CDs which caused me to wake up an hour later than normal, which means no shower." Zoey said pulling her beanie down over her red locks.

Jessica and the other girls laughed. Zoey walked over to her station and prepared it for the day. She then started on her first client.

Bam chugged down a beer and then looked over at his two friends Ryan and Novak. They had brought him out to the bar to rid him of his recent divorce. The divorce that was finalized today. He ran his fingers through his curly locks and thought about Missy. The woman he was married to for over two years. The woman who ended up cheating on him. He shook his head, remembering four months ago. He had come home early from a demo and found her in bed with a man named David Hill. He told her he wanted a divorce and walked out, leaving her and a naked New Yorker wrapped up in his bed sheets.

"Look at the bright side." Novak started. "At least now you can find a woman who is interested in more than your money." He said.

Bam couldn't help but to chuckle. Everyone had always joked that Missy was after his money-- and it turned out they was right. She never loved him, she just loved the green that he had in his wallet. He knew this divorce was a good thing, even if right now he couldn't see anything good about it.

"I'm outta here." He announced to his friends.

The two men nodded their head and Bam walked out to his hummer. He got inside and drove off to Frantz house. He needed to go over a few things for the Minghags website. He arrived at Joe's house just a few minutes after leaving the bar. He got out of his vehicle and walked up to the front door.

Frantz welcomed him in, and Bam moved the empty beer cans out of his way and created a path to the couch. Frantz didn't have a girlfriend or anyone else to clean up after him, so his house always looked like a party had just happened the night before. He watched as his friend grabbed his black laptop from the coffee table, and turned it on.

"What are you doing?" Bam questioned.
"Checking out these videos. . . I laughed my ass off all day. There just a bunch of kids trying to do Jackass shit." Frantz announced

Bam nodded his head, and watched as Frantz clicked on a new video named "Brick Wall." A boy with shaggy hair and a skateboard in hand soon appeared on the screen.

"I'm Ryder Moore, and this is called Brick Wall Skating." The kid announced.

Bam watched as he skated right into a large brick wall. His entire body bounced off the wall and onto the ground. He yelped out in pain; which caused Bam to laugh. The boy, who looked about sixteen or seventeen reminded him of a younger version of himself.

"Pretty fucking funny, huh?" Frantz said.
"Yeah, pretty funny. Who is that kid?" He questioned Frantz.
"I'm not sure. He and his friends have a whole channel of crazy shit. Oh! Watch this one. . . " Frantz clicked on another link.

Bam watched as the kid from the earlier video held a finger over his mouth, signaling for people to be quiet. Then he walked into a laundry room, and placed a large amount of soap into the washer. He then showed a pack of tacks and then the camera turned to the floor where he placed them head up.

"Now, let's go tell my sister the laundry room is a mess."

Bam chuckled as the boy walked into the kitchen and over to a girl with long reddish brown hair. It was tied back in a pony tail. She was wearing a old worn HIM t-shirt, and a pair of short boxer shorts.

"What are you up to, Ryder?" The girl ask.
"Nothing, sis. Just. . . I think our washer is flipping out, bubbles are everywhere!" The boy said.

Bam watched as the beautiful girl dropped her rag and walked out of the room. He cringed, remembering Knoxville's prank with the tacks on himself. She walked into the room and jumped feeling the first tack penetrate her skin.

"Ryder! You dick head!" She screamed causing Bam to chuckle again. She had the most beautiful voice in the world.

The video soon cut off, and Bam couldn't help but to continue smiling. There was just something about that girl with the long red hair that had him wanting to know more about her.

"That one was kinda lame, but at least the girl was hot." Frantz added.

Bam just nodded his head and watched as Frantz continued on with showing him a few more clips. No more contained the boy Ryder, or his sister which disappointed Bam. He wanted to see more clips of the beautiful red head. There was just something about her.

Zoey walked into her apartment, allowing her purse to drop to the ground. Ryder was sitting on the couch playing guitar hero with his friend Jacob.

"What are you two dip shits up to?" Zoey ask.
"Hey Zoe. I've got an English paper due, can you help me with it?" Ryder ask.
"Sure, I'll order pizza for dinner." She said walking into the kitchen.

Zoey ordered the pizza and then cleaned around the house a bit. She called her friend Kristen and chatted with her a bit before the food finally arrived. Jacob left and Ryder brought the pizza over and placed it on the kitchen. He grabbed a slice and then opened his lap top.

"Check my email when you get a chance, Ry." Zoey said munching down on her pizza as she looked in the fridge for something to drink.

"Holy fuck!" Ryder screamed causing Zoey to nearly drop her piece of pizza.
"What? What is it?" She questioned him.
"Fucking Joe Frantz subscribed to me on youtube!" He squealed.
"Joe Frantz? Who?" Zoey ask confused.
"He's like a director and shit, a friend of Bam Margera. . ." He trailed off, interested in the screen.

Zoey just nodded her head and disappeared into her room. Her brother was obsessed with skateboarding, so she knew the name Bam Margera very well. She had been forced to watch all the movies that contained him. She thought he was cute; but never really thought of him much after the credits rolled. He was her brother's idol. A skateboarder and a prankster. He was the one to blame for Ryder's craziness she thought as she placed a Muse CD into her player.
