Eyes widening, the prospect of learning how to skateboard almost made her forget about what had just happened. "I would love for you to teach me!" This was so exciting.
“Not at all, it’s the truth,” Lou assured her with an all-too eager nod that kind of gave away the fact that he was telling a big fat lie. He couldn’t help it, though; if he told Lux how bad the fall had really been, she’d probably feel guilty for the rest of the day. And worse - send him to the hospital wing. Ohh no no, he was
definitely not going to let that happen. “I’m great, really. Quite wonderful. Actually, I think the fall even helped crack my back. It had been feeling a little stiff…”
After that horrendous fall, Louis was almost certain that Lux would be too scared to try skateboarding. However, she seemed surprisingly excited about the idea. This, in turn, brought the boy an excitement of his own. “Great.” He pushed the skateboard toward Lux with his right foot. “Now, are you left-handed or right-handed?”
