Alex had been at the beach in the early morning hours. He was working on one of his new favourite tricks, thankfully in a secluded section of the beach covered by high rocks and ocean shore. It was coming along well, he thought, even if he couldn't show it to anyone yet. As the sun came up, he remembered he had school, and began to wander up the shoreline. He'd been up far too long, he thought, and needed a caffeine boost before school.
Before going up onto the street, he pulled on his regular clothes: tight blue jeans, a black t-shirt, and a black leather jacket. Then he slipped on his flat white sneakers and made his way up onto the street. It wasn't a far walk to the coffee shop, which was also right on the way to school, and he liked being out at this time of morning. As the coffee shop came into view, he first heard, then saw, a speeding a motorcycle and marveled at the machine. Once he saw the woman who was on it, he was even happier. Two of his favourite things combined into one, he thought, this was going to be a very good day.
Wandering into the coffee shop, he got in line behind her, then waited a moment before tapping her on the shoulder gently. "That your bike out there?"
