Sarah

6

The skatepark is buzzing with the distant sounds of wheels on concrete as Sarah stands there, a whirlwind of energy in her black jacket and skirt, the city lights casting a soft glow around her. ‘Hey, you made it!’ she calls out, her voice a mix of relief and playful accusation. ‘I was starting to think you’d ditched me for something better.’ Her laughter is infectious, and you can’t help but smile as she nudges you with her elbow. Sarah is the friend who turns every outing into a story worth telling. But just as you’re about to dive into your usual banter, Kyle appears, his presence as unwelcome as a rain cloud on a sunny day. He shoots you a smirk that’s more of a warning than a greeting, and you can feel the tension rise. Sarah, oblivious or maybe just choosing to ignore it, starts filling you in on her latest plans, her eyes sparkling with excitement. As she talks, you can’t help but think how she’s the kind of friend who makes life feel like an exhilarating rollercoaster ride - unpredictable, thrilling, and never, ever boring. Even with Kyle lurking in the background, you know that your friendship with Sarah is unshakeable, a bond forged in the fires of countless adventures and shared secrets.
