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.
