My cherry red glasses slip over my forehead and onto my eyes. A subtle but fierce-some grin widens with confidence. I grip the edge of my skateboard comfortably.

" Now we have our finalists from our last round. Bec Harley and Latula Pyrope!!! " The town announcer states. The crowd cheers.

I knew I had made it as usual. I have been a finalist every time for three years in a row. Different people would come and face me. I always had it for the win.

Bec and I make it up to the top of the half pipe. We both seemed confident to be the victor of this skateboarding competition.

I had seen Bec a few times at the skate park. He always hung out with a different girl every time. He had a devilishly handsome smile and his hair was always messy but perfect. I never would fall for him like other girls. I already had a boyfriend.

Bec gave me a smirk when we lined up across from each other.

" Ready to lose skater girl? " He delivers coldy.

" Not at all mister Bec. You aren't radical enough. " I stick my tongue at him.

He laughs and I roll my eyes. Bec probably didn't see me roll them because of my glasses covering my eyes. Actually I didn't even care. All I cared about was beating him.

Bec was up first. I back up as he takes down the ramp.

The first thing he does is a easy hand grip and lands softly. Heh. This was going to be easy.

Next thing he does is a little more complicated. This still would be an easy win. Skakeboarding is my life.

Eh. His third jump was better. I was still better though.

His next one and one after that were pretty good. The crowd was going wild. I mean who wouldn't? Oh wait...me.

I cross my arms waiting for him to finish. Ugh this was taking forever.

He did more and more stunts that we quite impressive. But I still wasn't impressed.

Finally he took his last flip and landed on the platform at the top.

" Pretty good. Not good enough for first though. " I give him the famous Pyrope smile that I gave whenever the competition was real.

" Well...let's see how you do. " Bec inquires as we wait for his score.

" Very impressive Bec! Your score is- " The announcer states.

He does a dramatic pause to lift the crowd off its heels. The announcer does it every year.

" 184 points! Wow! Quite an impressive score! Now our Latula might not be able to beat that score, but who knows? "

I tilt my head at him. I know that I will win. No doubt.

My board settled on the end of the half pipe. I pull my red fingerless gloves onto my hand tighter. I was ready.

I look at my family cheering for me below. Terezi and Redglare gave me a thumbs up. I gave them a thumbs up back and start.

I push myself down the pipe. My black hair blows in the wind. It felt really nice.

I slide to the middle and speed up coming to the top.

When I get up I do a full 360 degree spin and land at ease. I was only getting started.

I make a ton of stunts that I landed perfectly with. I give a wink slipping my glasses down for a millisecond at Bec when I get to his side again. He lifts his eyebrow.

I make more and more of stunts. I could do this. It was my last trick chance. I had to perfect it.

I speed up again and go up. I give a handgrip onto my skateboard when I begin to go up. I begin to spin until I started going down. Uh oh.

I land uneasily onto the ground with force. The crowd gasps. That wasn't good at all.

I get back up picking up my dear skateboard. Daren gives me * I knew that you weren't good enough to beat me * look tilting his head.

I squint my eyes back at him but I realize I had my shades on. I guess he couldn't see it.

That last land might of put me in second place. I was worried.

The announcer comes back to say my score. I kind of felt too sick to hear it.

" Nice job Latula! Your score is... "

Another pause. Ugh this was painful. I ready my ears to hear my fate-

" 185 points! "

I all of a sudden have no more worry! I had won!

" Our winner is Latula Pyrope! Our fourth year winner in a row! You can collect your trophy when you get down. "

Bec wasn't happy anymore. Rage filled his face. " Latula I swear- "

" Eh. I told you I was gonna win but you didn't listen! Nice job Bec but not good enough! " I laugh my way down the half pipe. People have already begun to leave.

The announcer gives me my trophy with pride. I thank him.

The trophy was golden. It had a shape of a skateboard and carved at the bottom was:

Winnerof2014 Skateboarding Tournament

It was always written that way except the year was different every time. Of course.

I make my way over to Terezi and Redglare. They stood where they were waiting for me to come.

" Congrats Latula! " They both say together handing me a flower bouquet.

" I knew you could win big sister. " Terezi gleams with kindness. Even though she was blind she was still my radical little sister.

I look at Redglare with surprise. Terezi usually wasn't that nice to me. What the heck?

" Did you make her say this? " I put my hand on my hip and stare at my big sister.

Redglare giggles and gives a wink behind her pointy red glasses " Maybe. " Redglare had used to be blind till she got surgery.

Terezi frowns at Redglare. Redglare shrugs and taps the end of her glasses with a of course I did girl why wouldn't I look.

At the same time they do this I tuck my skateboard under my arm. Terezi comes back to me and puts her mouth up to my ear. I listen.

" I dare you to smell them Latula " Terezi cackles under her breath. I now was not in that good of a mood and wanted to slap her with anger, but I would not. I would be the more mature sister and just not deal with what she told me to do.

" Let's just go. " I signal to as Redglare and we head off to the car.

(( Alright hey! I know this was a pretty short first chapter and all, but th others are much longer than this one. I decided to do my authors note about the story after for some apparent reason but that is just me X3

Anyways, this story is Humanstuck as you may have seen. All of the trolls and humans will be included in the story. Even though the humans do not come in till a little later. For now there is the 3 trolls for each sign. The decendants are the youngest, in middle school. The dancestors are the middle childs, in high school. This is what Latula is. Now the ancestors are adults in the story but still the older brothers and sisters of the other two.

Now I might add more to this note as the story goes on, but enjoy the story! ))
