Skater Girl

Orange silk scarf, paisley pattern band round the edges. A black PVC jacket. Beneath that a green hooded top. She strips the layers off, wearing a sleeveless white short t beneath that, and a longer white vest top beneath, around the rim of the lower shirt a splash of dirt dried in. she places her long board down the side of the chair, on the floor. Her hair is rumpled, curly blonde, trails of it coming down on either side of her face. A blue cord hangs round her neck. The upper t-shirt has a scoop neck, which hangs down when she bends over to dig the photographs from the bag, hinting at cleavage, which the lower white top contains. Black jeans and green all star trainers. Her smile creases her face, full of white teeth, her chin resting on her hand. Her nose glints with the light, reflecting off the small metal stud through the flesh of one nostril. The green top has a row of black buttons off set to one side, which would give a fold down opening at the neck. Her accent has a twang, a gentle lilt, somewhere between American and Irish. He wears baggy blue jeans, a paler blue hoodie top, a red back pack; he uses a napkin to wipe down his board, its patterns and green wheels. Her board has red wheels, plainer than his with two thick green stripes on its upper surface.
