The next day
,

Hannah walks past the skatepark
.
A lot of people are
doing tricks.
'1 can't skateboard there now,

Hannah thinks

She
watches Owen on his skateboard. He goes up in the
air and comes down again.
'He's awesome
,
' Hannah thinks. And I'm awful
.
'
She leaves the skatepark
,
and begins to walk home
through the park.
The sun is hot
.
Hannah sits down on one of the park
benches. The sun is in her eyes. So she closes them.
When she apens her ey
