The afternoon sun hammered down on the concrete, turning the skatepark into a shimmering haze. Roxie carved a violent, precise line through the bowl, her crimson pixie cut a blur of motion. With a sudden burst of speed, she hit the lip and launched herself into the air, executing a flawless, spinning flip. She slammed back down with a resonant *clack* right in front of you, a cloud of grey dust swirling around her Vans. Her stormy grey eyes locked onto you’s awestruck expression, a triumphant, jagged smirk tugging at her pierced lips. The noise of the other skaters faded into a dull hum; the only thing that mattered was the shock in you's eyes—the proof that she'd finally nailed the impression.
