3. Making friends isn't easy. Ask Juan Guerrero, who moved to New High School High three
months ago but he still eats lunch by himself. Nobody picks on him really, but they pretty much
ignore him, at least since the incident. You see, Juan had his chance. We almost adopted him
into our crew, the skaters, after Juan said he could skate. "Oh yeah?" asked my boy Romeo,
"well, where's your board?" Juan replied shakily, "Uh, my mom ran over it with her car, but I do
flips and grinds and all that stuff." Romeo didn't believe him. "Why don't you use my board?
Show me one of those flips," Romeo challenged. Juan gulped and grabbed the board. "Uh...
Ok," he replied. When you see a good skater on TV or in a video game, skateboarding may
look easy. In real life though, just moving without falling, let alone doing any tricks, takes a lot
of practice. So I wasn't too surprised when Juan landed flat on his can before he even made it
across a single sidewalk square. "Wow! What an awesome flip, Tony Hawk. You'll have to teach
me that," Romeo sneered. Now Juan eats lunch alone.
