Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 124
Jonah laughed. “There’s a first time for everything.”
“Yeah, like murder,” I muttered as he walked around
the car.
When we went to rent the skates, the lady was keen
on loudly asking me what size skate I was. Jonah
was right beside me and I tried to whisper but she
insisted I speak up. “I’m a size 9.”
“Excuse me?” the lady asked, cupping her ear. I
groaned.
“Size 9,” I replied a bit louder and the lady nodded.
“The size 9 skates are right over there!” she
exclaimed, pointing towards a rack labeled ‘nine.’
Jonah snickered as I glared at the floor. I walked over
and grabbed a pair of the neon green skates, putting
them on my feet.
The wheels were glow in the dark for the dim lit
skating rink. I gulped and internally screamed. I can’t
skate; I’m going to end up ripping my pants. While I
struggled to stand up, Jonah casually walked over as
if his feet weren’t clad in rolling death traps.
“Why roller skating?” I groaned as I stood up. I felt
myself slipping and Jonah caught me, holding me
beside him.
“Why not?” he asked me, a mischievous smirk on
his face.
I groaned again as I regained my balance. “I can
think of a few reasons.”
We made our way out to the roller skating rink, well;
Jonah did while I was technically dragged there. He
slowly let go of me once we reached the outside of
the rink and my ankles threatened to give out. I
stared at the rink, pursing my lips. It was mostly
empty, which was good because the less people to
see me fail- the better.
“Just hold my hand,” Jonah whispered and I gave
him a flat look.
“Because your hand is a magical force that will hold
me up when I nearly slam my face on the floor?” I
snapped and he laughed.
“Way to have a good attitude,” he muttered and I
gave him a fake grin.
I groaned as they started playing ‘Teenage Dream’ by
Katy Perry. I was a fan of the artist; I just wasn’t in
the mood to hear this song- especially when Jonah
and I are roller skating on Valentine’s Day at a place
where today is called ‘Lover’s Day and Night.’
I gripped onto the side rail the moment I stepped into
the rink. Jonah held my other hand while he stood
there, waiting for me to let go of the railing. “It’s fun,
I promise. Just let go of the railing.”
“What if I fall?” I asked as I clutched the metal.
He smiled. “I won’t let you.”
I slowly let go of the railing, allowing him to slowly
pull me along beside him.
~~~
I limped back towards the car. “What happened to
not letting me fall?”
“I didn’t see the old couple!” he excused.
“What about the other 3 times?” I retorted.
“The first two times, you tried to escape!” he replied
and I rolled my eyes as I sat in the passenger’s seat.
“At least you didn’t hit your face.”
I rolled my eyes again as I stared out of the window.
“Are you hungry?”
I looked at him and nodded. “Starving.”
“What do you want to eat?” he asked and I thought
for a moment.
