"Starting now we will recreate the Love Hug." Cherry announced, taking a skateboard and standing on it.

"Why me...." Joe sighed under his breath, his red apron still around his waist.

"Start with maximum acceleration in the direction of travel..." Cherry continued, explaining how Adam does it.
"...and using a spin, do a 180 with minimal turning radius." He then did what he said in small, now looking over at us.
"The important part is what follows.
Right after the 180, you forcefully being down the nose you lifted up, and by doing so, you still have propulsion even going uphill. And due to the sudden change in relative speed..."
Cherry slowly skated over to Joe with his arms spread out.
"...it looks like Adam suddenly approached you. So close." Cherry added at the end, being only inches away from Joe.
"You know..!" Joe popped a vein while looking down at Cherry.

"I see..." Reki spoke up.
"It's simple once you know what the magic trick is." Miya nodded, a sweet smile on his lips.

It isn't really...It's still overwhelming and feels worse to be in than to see.

"However, it's not that simple in reality. To give that illusion in perception, you must always keep your opponent straight in front of you." Cherry said what I thought, making me nod.

"You can't shake your body at all....you can't decelerate, and you do all of it in that one instant." Langa spoke up softly, his gaze fixed on the board.

"But in the end it's the Love Hug." Reki smiled, making me sigh.

"Reki..." Joe called him, making us look up at his muscular figure.
Joe suddenly punched straight into Rekis face, stopping right before hitting him. Reki closed his eyes and flinched, opening them again after he felt no impact.
"That was your name, right?" Joe asked.
"Even if you know it, your body will still react. It's not that easy, you know."

"Then what can he do." Reki sighed, hanging his body down out of exhaustion.
"We just confirmed that Adam is some amazing guy."

I sighed deeply, standing up and catching their attention.

"It's not simple. But Langa can make it. I might have an idea." I spoke up, putting my hands on my hips.
"But first...I will tell you something...I don't know if it will help...but maybe we will understand Adam a bit more." I cleared my thought, nervous of the outcome.
Joe patted my head two times, making me look up at him.
He gave me a reassuring smile.
I nodded and walked to a chair behind Joe and Cherry, sitting on it so that everyone could see me.

"Where do I start..." I laughed, fiddling with my fingers.

"Okay, I figured out how to start. Joe and Cherry probably, know this already. Reki..." I turned to my friend, my body nervous as hell.
"Reki like I told you that night...I never stopped skating...I know that you didn't want me to because you were afraid that I will get hurt worse like...you know who.
I didn't stop like I already told you. I had no one to skate with." I breathed in heavily.
"So I was alone. It was night." I looked down at my hands.
"Someone came up to me while I was skating. He asked me if he could join. This someone was Adam..." I examined the floor, not wanting to look at them.

"I didn't know what S was back then...He told me that I could become stronger and have a lot of fun there, so I agreed.
And then it started. He told me to wear a mask, cut my hair and be different outside. With outside he means S. He told me to be myself at S, not the other way around." My eyes wanted to let tears flow but I stopped them for now, only being at the beginning of my story.

I laughed, looking up at Reki who had widened his eyes at me.

"I didn't want to cut my hair. We had a fight. He was obsessed with I don't know what. He held scissors in his hands and tried to cut my hair, I dodged him. He was able to cut some strands in the front, which is why I just cut them into bangs...............
You know Reki...I.....went to S quite a lot...I skated. Against random people, Shadow and lastly...Adam. He has always wanted me to be with him and skate. He wanted to see me skate. He called me a diamond...a diamond that he needs to make visible to others."

I cleared my throat because tears dared to flow out again.

"And so he trained me. Things that he could do perfectly, he wanted me to do...
I was suffocated." I chuckled, watching my hands play with each other.

"And lastly, we made a bet. I couldn't stand being his Eve anymore...that's how he would say it. He always talked about me being his Eve and his treasure. He said he wants to share his apple with me....but I declined. Multiple times. Which leads us to the point with the bet we made.
We wanted to compete. If I win, he won't come to S anymore and will leave me alone. If he wins...I will stay his Eve and he will stay at S. And of course he won. I hurt my right leg again...some of you don't know. I broke my right leg once but that isn't important right now.
And of course he did, with the Love Hug." I looked up as I said the last words, looking straight into Langas eyes with a monotone look.

"He said it was destiny. My eve, my eve, my love." I impersonated him, sighing deeply.
"Of course it wasn't real love." I chuckled darkly again. "It was his love for my potential. And it was killing him." I looked up again, Joe and Cherry now sitting too since my talk has become kind of long.

"It was horrifying...the Love Hug. Not just because it is what it is." I stood up, grabbing the skateboard and doing what Cherry just showed.
I stopped the moment Adam would be skating uphill.
"I tried to jump over him. But he grabbed me mid air and did a real hug, living up to its name." I showed them with my body, skating forward slowly while pretending like I'm hugging something.

"He let me go, making me fall down the hill but grabbed me right after, putting me on my board again. The board was stuck to his, just like he planned to.
But someday I stopped going to S and surprisingly he didn't follow me. A month later Langa came." I went down from the board and pointed my index finger at him.
"You're his next Eve, Langa." I darkly announced, making them gasp.

"That's pretty much it....I think..." I sighed deeply, relieved that it's out.

"So...it's you, Yami." Shadow spoke up, me nodding.
"Yup it's me. " I mumbled, sitting back down on the chair, fixing my dress before doing so.
Funny...I'm telling my story in a maid outfit. I don't think they will forget this...hehe.

"I thought you reminded me of someone." Shadow added, sighing.

I looked down again, my tears now slowly dropping down on my shaky hands.

Everything was quiet, until someone spoke up, me crying silently.

"Y/N...why did you never tell me..." Reki darkly said, avoiding my gaze.

"I don't know...because I lied to you, Reki. Because I was...no because I am a bad friend. I have no meaning. I had no one else but you, Reki. How could I tell you?! How could I get you into this!?" I started getting louder, standing up. When I'm angry I can't control myself...I hate that.

Reki also stood up, taking a step closer.
"YOU COULD'VE TOLD ME?!" He yelled, making more tears fall out. I know he's just worried...that's why he's yelling. He's scared to loose a friend again.

"YOU COULD'VE BEEN HURT! YOU'RE ALREADY HURT!" I yelled back, also taking a step closer.

But I was worried too....

"I DON'T CARE! Y/N YO-" Reki was cut off by Joe, who lightly pushed him against me.
Just as Joe planned, Rekis lips landed on mine, or rather brushed mine.

I widened my eyes, blushing madly while tears were still flowing out.

What the hell is happening?!
Tooo many emotions!!!

I immediately pushed Reki away, making him realize what just happened.

"JOE!" I yelled, everyone blushing out of embarrassment while my tears came to an end, brushing them off.

"Ohhh~ Rekiii, I'm jealous~~~" Joe teased, making Reki shut off completely.
I wiped my tears away and looked at Reki nervously, feeling awkward.
"For what?" I glared at Joe who was grinning at me.
"For you two to shut up." Joe laughed, his head resting on his hand.
I just sighed.

This isn't considered a kiss, is it? I mean our lips just touched, they didn't really kiss....right? It was a split second...
Right?....

...

I guess I just have to....

"Sorry...." I mumbled.
"Sorry too..." He also mumbled, both of us looking down. I heard Joe chuckle, making me pop a vein and glare at him.

"Y/N." Langa spoke up, making us turn to him.
"I will make sure that Adam will pay. Thank you." He smiled, ignoring what just happened with Reki and meeee AGHHHHHH NOOO!

I mean....I did want--- NOOOOO!

My stomach felt weird, feeling bubbly inside.

"D-don't need to thank me..." I shyly said, looking to the side.
"I'm sorry for you, Y/N. But I think you're brave." Miya now spoke up shyly, smiling at me sweetly.
I smiled back, nodding at him.
I'm getting a compliment from Miya, well that's an accomplishment.

"That bastard..." Cherry mumbled which we still were able to hear.
"You had a pretty hard time, didn't you?"

"And now you have to talk to him because I lost...I'm so sorry." Reki scratched his hair, grinning at me, a sorry smile on his face.
I waved my hand around, also grinning.
"It's fine. I will just punch him into his face if he says something I don't like. "

"That's our Y/N-chan~~~" Joe flung his arm around my shoulder, shaking my body around.
"Joe, you're making me dizzy!" I whined to which he let go.

"Sorry~!"

"So what I was saying. Langa. You need to jump over Adam." I told them.
"How is he going to make it?" Miya asked, not believing it.
"He will. I know he can." I smiled down at Langa to which he blushed out of embarrassment.
"I can?" He whispered to himself.
"Yup." I simply answered, Reki just looking down without a reaction.

"Well, he can try it.......This is it I guess." Cherry stood up, walking to the door. "I will get going then."

We said our goodbyes and also stood up, walking to Shadows car and Langad bike in silence.

I destroyed the mood, didn't I?

"If you're thinking that you're destroying the mood then you're wrong. There was no mood to begin with." Reki grinned, patting my head sweetly.
I blushed and looked away.
"I-I didn't!" I yelled back, getting on the back of Langas bike.
"Ehhh? Since when are you a Tsundere?" Reki laughed, making me pout.

"Am not."

"Is this even legal?" Langa asked out of the blue as Reki sat down behind me. I slowly grabbed Langas waist while Reki wrapped one arm around mine. I flinched by the touch but gave in anyways.
Our f***ing lips just touched......

"Okay, bye!" Reki waved at Shadow and Miya, them waving back.
"Bye!" I also said, smiling at them as Langa started driving.

"Y/N. Don't worry anymore. We will take care of everything." Langa talked loudly as we drove down the street at night.
I just smiled into his back, not saying anything back.

Langa drove to Rekis first, dropping him off.
I felt the cold air hit my back as the warmth of Reki left me.

"Thank you." Reki quietly thanked, getting off and facing away from us.

"I started skateboarding because I had a friend who asked me to pick it up with him. But he got injured badly...and he quit skateboarding. I don't wanna experience something like that again!" Reki talked, clenching his fist.
He then turned around, his eyes full of sadness.
"So I'm beggin' ya...Don't skate against Adam."

We just stared at each other, silence othertaking us for a moment until Langa talked.

"At first, I was furious. But now, it's not just that. I'm thinking I wanna skate against Adam. I can't put it to words well, but it's like I've already taken the first step. Like something lit up. I'll be fine. "

"How do you know it's gonna be like that?" Reki stepped forward angrily.
"Because even if I got injured, I wouldn't quit skateboarding. So, it's gonna be alright. Right, Y/N?" Langa gazed at me, me nodding.
"Yup!" I answered cheerfully.

"You promise?"

"I do." Langa raises his pinky, to which I chuckled.
"Are you a kid?" Langa sweatdropped.
"This is how grown-ups do it." Reki sighed, putting his hand up and high fiving him.

I smiled at them with a wholesome expression. Why do I feel do warm and comfortable inside...

Instead of distributing bumping, Reki weakly bumped into Langas chest.
"Dont be reckless." He smiled.
"Yeah." Langa replied, smiling back at Reki.
"Don't forget about me!" I joked, nudging Langas side.
"How could we." Langa laughed while Reki chuckled at us.
"Yeah, how could we."

"Well then, see ya!" Reki started walking away, us watching his back fade away until Langa drove me home.

Oh and of course my mom had a talk with him...she wouldn't let this opportunity go...
