Being only in your first year of middle school and already working a part-time job at Dope Sketch was peculiar enough.

However, as a beginner skater yourself, perhaps you found solace in the eccentric duo of Reki and Langa. Nevertheless, no matter how much you loved those two, it paled in comparison to how ridiculously impulsive Langa could be. So when Miya Chinen, the Japanese national hopeful, challenged Langa to a beef at S—he, of course, accepted. Like the damn idiot he was.

To make things even worse, the prize Miya settled on was none other than you. If Langa lost, you’d be the poor, unfortunate soul bound to be his freaking kitty of all things.

But one could hope. Langa was a beginner, sure, but he was talented. Maybe he could win and—

The next day, Miya dragged you out of Dope Sketch after his inevitable victory against Langa. "Okay, kitty. First order of business—setting some ground rules."

You wanted to implode.
