Welcome to my newest literary venture! This story will span thirteen chapters and updates will come daily until I hit that complete button. I like to think of this as a snack fic (: Chapters are short and binge-able. You're welcome to read it live (as it posts) or wait thirteen days and consume it in one sitting. Enjoy (:

Disclaimer: I own nothing. Characters belong to Stephenie Meyer. Plot inspired by Halsey's Hurricane.

Wind catching in my shirt. Sun warming my cheeks. Sweat beading on my chest and upper lip.

This is what summer feels like.

Jasper gestures to the left with his chin, angling the handlebars of his bike and breaking off from our three-person pack. He jerks his bike up onto its rear wheel and pedals at a leisurely pace, glancing back at us with a lazy grin.

Emmett and I are quick to follow. We dig and push until we're riding abreast Jasper, swerving into him and forcing him to right his bike. He salutes us with a middle finger and pumps his legs until he's far ahead.

Tires screech against asphalt as we reach our destination. It's set off from the main park and heavily gated, but the handrails, ramps, and towering half-pipes are a welcome sight.

Bikes are abandoned as we take turns hopping the fence. Jasper and I get over easily. Standing on the other side, we watch as Emmett's jeans snag on the top. He jerks midair and tumbles haphazardly onto the ground, and the skateboard loosely strapped to his back clatters onto the tarmac beside him.

Laughter bubbles in my stomach as he twists, revealing a huge rip up the side of his pant leg. Jasper bends at the waist, howling in laughter as Emmett wraps the shorn fabric around his leg and secures it with a knot.

Good enough.

Wiping the tears from our eyes, we move to gather our boards. But, the sound that floats across the park gives us pause.

High giggles.

All three of our heads whip to the right. We aren't alone in the skate park. There are three other people here ... and their skinny legs dangle down from atop the half-pipe.

Girls.

Thank you for reading!
