Anna wasn’t racing after him. Anna’s knees were chafed and her hands were muddied. Anna felt tears of frustration and shame well up in her eyes.
Before she knew it someone was pulling her up. "What are you here to make fun of me?" said Luke smiling. She couldn’t stop the words before they were out of her mouth. She knew that Luke was sorry for all the times he mocked and made fun of her. "It’s not much fun when your opponent can’t even stand on a skateboard." He was looking at her but not with malice. He genuinely wanted to help her. So, with a renewed determination and with the help of Luke she stood up and got back up on the skateboard. She knew she had a death grip on Lukess' arm probably hard enough to hurt, but he was still patiently waiting for her to get her bearings on the board.
