It's a week later, and things were great. Elliot and Anna made up, I made an A on my chemistry test and essay, and the guys won their game last week and last night.

Next week will be the last game of the season; State. They were training almost everyday.

And did I mention that Bella left Monday to go see her parents. Again, I was very happy.

Tonight, Lisa and Ross are going out on a date, leaving us by ourselves. They already left an hour ago, and I was getting bored.

"I'm bored!" I declared, walking into the living room where the guys were sitting.

"Join the club," Nick said, scrolling through his phone.

"Invite the girls over and Brent. Then we'll order pizza," Gavin suggest, focused on his video game.

"That doesn't sound like a bad idea," I said, pulling my phone out of my pocket.

I texted the group chat.

The Gurls

"They are on their way," I told the boys, who were watching the video game.

"Brent is coming," Nick said, typing a message.

Fifteen minutes later, the girls arrived. Elliot ordered the pizzas ten minutes ago, and it should be arriving in a couple of minutes.

Brent came walking in the door a few minutes later. He had a smile on his face, but it got bigger when he saw me.

He was dressed in jeans, a black t-shirt, and his letterman jacket. He sat beside me, and I felt nervous.

"Let's watch a horror movie," Nichole suggested once the pizza for here.

I shook my head,"Nope. Nada. Zip. Zero."

"Is somebody scared of a horror movie?" Gaberial teased, eating his pizza.

"Maybe. How about a comedy movie?" I said, looking through the movies.

"Fine, but you will be watching a horror movie before summer," Madison said, clicking on a movie on Netflix.

We ate the pizza and watched The Bounty Hunter. It was around eleven o'clock when Michael went to bed, and I was starting to get sleepy too.

Sometime in the middle of the movie, Brent hekd my hand. Nobody could see us because it was so dark. My eyes were closing, and I found myself in darkness.

《》《》《》《》《》《》《》《》《》

"Look how cute they are!" I heard a familiar girl squel.

Madison?

"Do we have to wake them up?" Nichole voice asked.

"Yes, but first a picture," Anna's voice said before I saw a flash.

"Wake them up," A male voice said.

Then I felt somebody shaking me. I opened my eyes to see the girls above me.

"What the hell?" I groan when I saw it was still dark outside.

"Come on. We're going out," Nichole said with an eager smile.

"But it's," I started, picking my phone up from my lap when I saw an arm. I looked around to see Brent asleep. His arm was latched around my waist. He looked like a baby sleeping.

I smiled, and I checked my phone.

2:10 a.m.

My eyes widen,"It's two o'clock in the freaking morning!"

"Shhh! We don't want to wake up Ross and Lisa. Go get dressed," Anna said.

I tried to get up, but Brent's grip was really strong.

"Need help?" Madison asked with a laugh.

"Please," I pleaded.

She helped me up, and I saw Elliot trying to wake Brent up.

I walked up to my room, and I grabbed black tights, a dark red sweatshirt, and my Uggs. I changed in the outfit, and it felt very comfy.

I pulled my hair into a ponytail. Then I grabbed my phone, and I headed downstairs, quietly.

Everybody was dressed, and was sitting on the couch.

"Where are we going?" I asked them.

"To the ice ring," Gavin said, eagerly.

"But isn't it close?"

Elliot shrugged,"Maybe, but it will be fun."

"I don't know, guys. If we get caught-.." I said, but Brent cut me off.

"We won't. It'll be fun. You only live once," He said with puppy eyes.

I could get in serious trouble if we get caught. But it will be fun, and I need to let loose some.

"Fine."

"Yay! Now let's go," Madison said, grabbing her purse.

"Girls in Anna's car, and boys in Elliott's truck," Nick said and we nodded.

I sat in the back with Nichole, and Anna turned the radio on. I looked out the window. It was like a ghost town. Not one living soul was awake.

Nobody is up at 2:00 in the freaking morning!

A couple of minutes later, Anna parked the car in an empty parking lot. The boys pulled up right next to us.

The ice ring was in a newer building. There was windows parallel to each other. We walked inside, and I gasped in surpise.

There was bleachers on either side of the building, and in the middle was a huge ice ring.

The moon was shining on the ring since the door was all glass. It was beautiful.

"The shoes are over here!" Elliot called from a stand.

We got our shoes and put them on. When I stood up, I lost balance. I fell on the ground, hitting my butt on the hard floor.

I'm not even on the ice, yet.

"Need some help?" Brent's voice asked, making me look up.

"No," I answered, quickly. He gave me a 'really?' look. "Yes, okay, fine. I need some help."

He laughed while help me up. We carefully walked onto the ice where everybody else was at. Brent started to let go of me, but I held on to his arm tighter.

"Jesus, woman! You have a death grip!" He said, looking down at me.

"Sorry," I mumbled.

"Have you ever ice skated before?" He asked.

"No."

"Tonight, you shall learn."

He led me out to the ring where everybody else was, skating and laughing. We were on the ice, and I had a death grip on Brent.

"I'm doing it," I said with a smile.

"Only because you're holding onto me," Brent said with a playful roll of his eyes.

"I don't think so, buddy," I said, steadying myself.

"Okay," he said. Then he did the last thing I wanted him to do.

He let go of me.

"Ahh!" I said before falling on my behind.

"Haha!" I heard Brent's laughing.

He skated over to me, and he stopped laughing.

"That was rude," I told him, reaching out my hand.

He grabbed my hand. Idiot.

I pulls him down, and he fell on the ice next to me. It was my turn to laugh.

"You got me," he said when he got up. He handed me his hand.

I stick my tongue out, not reaching for his hand. He furrowed his eyebrows.

"You, Campbell West, are going to learn how to skate," he said, sternly.

"I don't want to. It's impossible," I claimed.

"Nothing is impossible. Come on," he said.

I grabbed his hand, and he pulled me up. I looked around to see Anna skating with Elliot, Madison skating with the twins, and Nichols skating with Nick.

They make it look so easy.

"Alright, now you're you going to balance yourself. I going to hold your hands, but I'm going to be in front of you," he explained.

He did what he said, but he was holding my arms lightly. He contiued to explain what to do in ice skating.

"Now, I'm going to let go," he said suddenly.

"Oh, no, no. Brent-.." I said, but he let go of me.

Then I fell. We did it again, and I fell.

And again.

Again.

Again.

And again.

I don't know how many times I fell if you want me to be honest.

Until the last time.

I was still standing. That's a good sign I guess. I started to do what Brent told me, and I was doing it.

I was skating!

I was smiling, and Brent clapped his hands. I skated over to him, and he smiled down at me.

"See, all it took was a few times."

I rolled my eyes,"More like a hundred times."

"But you never gave up. I guess, you could say I'm a great teacher," he said with a smirk.

"I guess," I said, looking at the ice.

"Lets go guys! It's going on 4," Elliot said, skating off the ice.

Dang! I didn't realize how long we were here.

We skated off the ice, and we put the shoes up. We walked inside, and to our cars.

I climbed in the back, and Anna started to drive back to the house. My eyes started to close, and I yawned.

I was so going to bed as soon as I get into the house. The boys were right behind us.

When we got out out the car, we headed inside. We were like ants, one behind another. When we walked into the living room, a light switched on.

Lisa and Ross were sitting on the couch in their pjs.

And they look mad.
