The sound of Tripp’s scraping skateboard welcomed the rest of his friends lounging behind the back of the grey building.“What’s up, Losers?”“The sky,” said Zane as he popped the cap off his plastic soda bottle towards Jake and Sam.“You guys are boring, I didn’t skate all the way up from Meadow Grove to sit around ingesting Dr. Pepper and Cheez-Its.“Actually, we’re all out,” Sam said dumping the rest of the crumbs into his mouth. “Woah, woah, woah.
