One Smooth Move (2009)
“The car ride back to the house was silent, each of them lost in their own thoughts.
X stole my skateboard! The same sentence spun through Charlie’s mind over and over.
Then Charlie shook himself. Before I call him a thief, I better be sure.
So he asked his mom if she had moved his skateboard. She hadn’t. Neither had his dad. Charlie checked the garage again. He saw garbage cans, lawn equipment, and the stack of flattened boxes. No skateboard.
Charlie returned to the house and climbed the stairs to his bedroom. He pulled out a box from his closet. Inside were his inline skates. Charlie sat holding the skates in his lap thinking, I can blade to the park. See if X is there. Exactly what he’d do if he found X with his board, he didn’t know.
He carried the skates outside and snapped them on. He tugged his helmet into place and took off, skating slowly toward the park.
