Status: Awkward 3 year hiatus is over. Probs lost all my readers. RIP. Comment or something if you want this ongoing :)
365 Days.
331.
Usually,
if people were sick for the entire week,
they wouldn’t come to school on the last day of the week.
But I’m tired of sitting at home and not doing anything,
so I did.
And regretted it a lot.
The day was going fine,
just like a breeze,
until Biology came up.
I didn’t have Art today,
so Mickel was nowhere near me till now.

“Oh,
a familiar face!
Do tell me,
have I ever seen you before?”

I want to reply that no,
he doesn’t know me,
hasn’t seen me,
and should avoid trying to get to know me.
Unfortunately,
that’s not an option.
“Hey,”
I reply quietly,
glancing up at him.

Mickel smiles and sits down beside me at the bench,
puts an arm around my shoulders,
snuggles me in,
resting his head on my own.
“You smell nice,”
he murmurs,
“You should use that kind of shampoo everyday.”

I don’t say anything.
I wouldn’t use it knowing that Mickel likes it,
but Chase does as well.
and I don’t know why I’m wanting to please Chase.

Mickel lightly brushes his lips over my cheek,
“What are you doing later,
after school?”
“What are you doing later,
after school?”
“Going home.”
“Really?
I think you should come with me to the stadium,
you know,
the one with all the bike ramps?”

“I have homework to do.”
“You can do that later,
it’s only for an hour,
please?”
he drags out the last word in a sort of pleading manner.

Much to my horror and reluctance,
I nod,
giving in almost immediately.
“Fine.
But no trying any funny stuff.”
I nod,
giving in almost immediately.
“Fine.
But no trying any funny stuff.”
“Of course,”
Mickel smirks,
eyes flashing once in an unsettling manner,
just as he moves to take the knife,
making him appear all the more dangerous.
A malicious grin plays on his lips.

I feel my insides grow cold,
about as cold as the dead frog in front of me ready to be cut open.
What have I done?
Probably sold my soul to the devil himself…

The loud whoops and laughter coming from inside the stadium
reach my ears before we even come close to it.
I get out of Mickel’s ute
(I somehow convinced myself to get in)
and stare up at the building.
I watch Mickel unload his bike,
lock the car
and then gesture for me to follow him inside.
I reluctantly do so.
Inside,
the stadium is filled with massive ramps,
bikes and riders,

“I’m going to be on that far one,
you can watch me or others,
just don’t go anywhere.”
Mickel points to one of the half-pipes,
then makes his way there.

Mickel points to one of the half-pipes,
then makes his way there.
Not wanting to be left alone,
I follow,
glancing around the place,
watching stunts be performed left and right.
At one point,
someone loses control of the back wheel,
almost flying off the track.
My breath hitched in my throat when that happened,
and I briefly wondered if I’d be fine watching Mickel kill himself like that too.
I figured I wouldn’t be.
As much as I don’t like his closeness and ego,
he’s still a human,
and I don’t want any harm to come to him.
Just as he’s about to climb up onto the ramp,
I reach out and grab his hand.

Mickel pauses and looks at me with a raised brow.
I hesitate under his gaze.
“Be careful,”
I whisper,
offering a small smile to him.

He laughs softly,
turns to me and put a gloved hand on my cheek.
“Don’t worry,
sweets,
nothing’s gonna happen to me.”

I look at him uncertainly,
“That’s what they all say and then they fall.”
I’m surprised at how concerned I sound.

Mickel shrugs,
“It’s only the Death Ramp that we take seriously,
this-”
he gestures to the half-pipes on which guys ride,
“This is child’s play.”

I look around,
“Death Ramp?”
I’m worried now.
He’ll probably try to be cool or something and go on it.
It sounded scary.

He’ll probably try to be cool or something and go on it.

“Yeah, that.”
He points to the other side of the stadium
where in the dark stood a high ramp,
all alone,
with nobody on it.
Few people looked at it but shook their heads.
“It’s insanity to go on there.”

“It’s insanity to go on there.”
I could see why.
With one high end,
and then only small little hills to slow you down,
or whatever they’re called,
it’s like hurtling off a plane with a tiny parachute.
“Alright,
don’t go on it.”
I say firmly then,
glancing back at Mickel.

Mickel only smirks,
and his eyes flash again.
“But I like things dangerous,”
he leans in,
his breath tickling my neck,
“And things that don’t want me.”
