We finally arrived at the skating rink. Haley walked over and sat on a bench, putting his rollerblades on, while Taylor and I went over to the service desk to get me a pair of rollerblades. After I got my rollerblades, we walked over to the bench that Haley got. We sat down. I watched Taylor put his rollerblades on and tried to follow his everymove, but somewhere I got lost and had put my rollerblades on the wrong feet, and had the laces all tangles up.
"No no no no," Taylor said laughing as he looked over at me and saw how I had put my rollerblades on.
"Well I told you I knew nothing about rollerblades."
"Its ok. Its nothing I can't fix. First, take them off."
"Ok," I said, taking my rollerblades off.
"This one goes on this foot, and this one goes on that foot," Taylor said as he pointed to the rollerblades and then my feet, instructing me which skate went on which foot.
"Ok, good," Taylor said.
"Taylor, can you just lace them up, because I am totally lost on this part," I said as I looked in his eyes.
"Sure," Taylor said as he laced my skates. "Now lets go skate."
I tried to get up, thinking that it wouldn't be hard, but boy was I wrong. I actually stood up, but lost my balance and fell on the ground.
"Are you ok?" Taylor said, as he tried not to laugh while he was helping me up.
"Yeah, I am fine. But I am not going to let go of your hand, at least for awhile anyways," I said.
"Ok," Taylor said as we went out onto the rink. We skated for awhile. Although I was starting to get the hang of it, I still didn't let go of Taylor's hand, for the fear of falling was just too much.
"Haley, I have to go to the bathroom. Can you hold on to Haley's hand until I get back?" Taylor asked me. Even thought I didn't want to and didn't really feel all that comfortable around Haley, I agreed to considering that it was either that or falling.
"Ok," I said as Taylor let go of my hand and I held out my hand for Haley to take. Haley started to skate really fast, and then he pulled me off over to a sucluded part of the rink.
"Haley, what are you doing?!?" All of a sudden Haley got this weird look in his eyes.
"Come on, you know you like me. Why don't you dump Taylor and be my girl. You know that in your heart you want too. I see the way you have been flirting with me," Haley said as he edged in closer to me.
"No! Get away from me you crazy child!" I said.
"See what I mean. There you go, flirting with me again, trying to play hard to get. I like it when a girl plays hard to get."
"I am NOT playing hard to get thank you very much, now leave me alone!" I screamed as I saw Taylor coming back out of the bathroom. "TAYLOR!!!" I yelled as I went skating over toward him. But before I could, Haley grabbed me by the arm and held my hand to skate us back over there as if nothing had happened.
"Don't say a word about this to Taylor, or else."
"Or else what?" I asked him.
"I don't think you want to find out," he said as we approached Taylor. "Now put a smile on your face and pretend like nothing ever happened," Haley said, so I did. At that moment I was scared for my life.
"Hey, hows the skating going Haley?" Taylor asked me.
"Fine, she's doing just fine Tay," Haley said answering for me.
"Hey, whats wrong? Why are you shaking?" Taylor asked me.
"She's just excitied, because while your were gone she skated a little bit by herself," Haley said answering for me again.
"Really? Haley, is this true?"
I didn't want to lie to Taylor, but I had too, I felt like my life was in jeopardy if I didn't. "Yes," I said, lieing through my teeth to Taylor.
"Great. I want to see. Will you skate by yourself so I can see?"
"Sure," I said as I let go of Taylors hand. I skated about five feet and fell.
"Hey, that was good Haley!" Taylor exclaimed as he rushed over to me and helped me up.
"Thanks Taylor," I said with a big smile on my face. From that moment on I decided that I wasn't going to let Haley get to me. I ws going to have a good time with Taylor, no matter what Haley said to me earlier.
We skated past the time that we were suppost to go to the pool. Taylor asked me if I wanted to go, but I said that I would rather stay here, and go to the pool tomorrow sometime. Taylor said ok and agreed with me that that was a good idea. Before too long we went back home. Taylor dropped me off at my house before walking to his. I went inside and took a shower. I talked to my mom for a while before I went to my room and fell asleep, never having the thought of what Haley said re-enter my mind.
