Los Angeles is a real skate town. It's gonna be tough, I just know it. And the crowd is going to be absolutely hot for us. With my high ranked finish, I was already starting to get messages every time I was logging into Connexus. I had to find a way to make myself invisible or else I wouldn't really be able to go on there as well. Fortunately, they got a way so that I can choose who can see me on. I only let mom, David, and Eddie for now. I don't think I want to deal with thinking about Mishka.
Mom told me that his old foster parents were suing for custody of him. At first I was stunned, but then my heart sunk. I mean, those were the bastards that put him in New Horizons. And he was there a fucking long time even before I met him. Long enough to get tortured by those assholes, long enough to nearly commit suicide. But then I came and we got the hell out of there.
But what can I do about it on tour?
"I don't know, honey, I just felt that you needed to know," my mom said. I thought it was interesting that she didn't sound like she was crying about it. In fact, she kind of sounded pretty strong.
"Well, thanks, I guess? You can use part of the money I'm sending on lawyer fees, I guess."
"That's your money, Kalki. I'll go down to the credit union and open up an account for you to save it. Maybe you can use it to go to college."
"Mom," I sighed, and whined.
"Not right away, of course. You're doing fantastic with the skateboarding. Sixth place! Is it on television, maybe I can look to record your next show."
I laughed and shook my head. I paced a little and it broke my reception up as I was pretty deep in the arena just outside the locker room where everyone was about to hit the showers. I needed to as well, but wanted to wait until most of them were done. They were already calling me just Ghost, not The Blue Ghost, and I didn't want to give them anything else to mock me about. You know, like the fact I do have patches of darker pigment near my dick. Which is smaller than all of theirs too, damnit. Why won't it grow more?
"I think it's on one of the ESPN channels."
"Oh, well I'll ask Mishka if we get that one."
I frowned, pushed my back to the wall and tried not to think about the idea of losing him technicall a third time, first to the tour, and secondly to Trix. "Is he okay?"
"He has a friend over, but you want to talk to him? I'm sure he'd be..." My mother's voice strengthened even more. It was almost filled with passionate joy to be finally speaking about him.
"No, that's okay. I, uh, have to go shower. Tour bus leaves in like an hour." I stammer, stall, and try to shut down the topic. I don't want to talk to him. I don't want to know why my mom sounds happier to be talking about him than my sixth place near victory.
"Be careful, Kalki. I love you and am very pro..." She starts, but the call is disconnected halfway through. I'm pretty sure she was gonna say she was proud of me, but she wasn't gonna accept my money to help out, and she hadn't even figure out if she gets ESPN to see if I was on TV.
You know, Casper, maybe I'm being a little over sensitive, but David, the guy who is not really all that nice to me. The British punk ass Ginger who bent me over and fucked me not only without lube but raw and came inside even though I told him not to? That guy came over to me, messed up my sweaty white wispy hair, and told me, "Good run, mate. Really, good run indeed, Ghost."
That guy is more interested in my achieving my dreams out here on tour than anyone else is. I mean, Eddie is cool and all, but I know he's just doing it for the publicity. He's already said that more people are coming this summer than before because of the tour stopping there, the try outs, and a local albino kid made it.
No, no. I think David is the only one that gets it. He's brash, he's rude, he doesn't get along with others, but he gets it. And I cannot wait to get to spend more time with him, if not in LA than in Tokyo.
I don't know how he pulls the strings he pulls that lets him get away with staying out after curfew, and picking and choosing who he wants as roommates at each stop. I don't know care how he got away with drinking at the Moonstone Lounge. Maybe he's just been that good for so long it goes with the prestige.
I want that fucking presitge.
I want to know what it's like to not have to care if people are making fun of me because I'm a faggot or because I have to wear sunglasses even on cloudy days. Because I'm so talented at what I do they're too busy asking me for my autograph or wanting to take my picture.
It would make my fucking dreams come true to be able to say, "Don't use a flash, babe, else I won't show up in the shots." And it be the funniest thing anyone has ever heard because people will like me and my celebrity status.
I wonder if that's what Synth wanted to go back to. A whirlwind publicity tour for some fashion magazine or modeling line. Where cameras were just everywhere and people were yelling his name to get his attention, just hoping that he would look their way and perhaps give a pose.
He never messaged me back on Connexus, and looks like he's never been signed on. Man, I'd love to know what he's doing right now. It'd be so cool to tell him how well I've done. He always took an interest in my skating. He even came to Heaven... a few times. I remember once Jackie called him a tranny because she thought just because he was so feminine looking. Ha! Ha! Turns out, he really was just a really beautiful male model.
Oh, we're pulling into an In and Out Burger. Good! I'm about fucking starving and this may give me a shot at talking to David. He moved to the back of the tour bus, as usual. I guess he don't want people to get any ideas on what we've done together.
Before I go, I guess I should switch my location, huh? Can't wait to change it to something more, oh, I dunno, international. I know right?
***Kalki Helaku has changed his location to Los Angeles, California.
Later, Skater!
