"Where are you taking him? The fucking Atlantic?", everyone in the room stared at Xander - this is why he has to repeat the school year.

"You mean the Antarctic?", Scott smirked and Caleb laughed.

"Same thing", he waved a hand and cleared his throat.

"This is why you're repeating senior year", Xav shook his head with a chuckle.

"So are you", he frowned.

"Oh yeah", he sighed, "anyway, I'm letting her take Ezra on a date to my ice rink". Letting? I had to beg the guy for like three hours before he gave in.

"You're helping with her dates now?", Caleb narrowed his eyes and I rolled mine.

"I've always been their number one fan", he grinned, "unlike some".

"And who is driving you to this date?", Xander threw a grape at Xav and it bounced off his forehead.

"Ezra", I replied, "I told him we're driving to some restaurant".

"Well, have fun or whatever", he nodded, "I'm going to feed King".

"Dead bugs and heat", Xav mumbled and I laughed.

Ezra was in a bad mood, I could tell. The whole atmosphere was off when I got into his car, he tried to play it off as tiredness but I knew better - I'd cheer him up then get to the bottom of it later.

"And you're sure you were okay after I left?", the guy had asked me that question how many times since Mum's anniversary 3 days ago. After my...outburst and sitting with Scott for fuck knows how long, Ezra showed up- I still don't know who called him, but he stayed with me until it was dark out. I really had the best boyfriend ever.

"I was fine, I am fine", I insisted, "and you? You okay?".

"I will be darlin'", he nodded, "just feeling a little weird today".

"Yeah?", I eyed him carefully; his posture was tense, hands squeezing the wheel, "anything I can do?".

"You're already doing enough darlin'", he shook his head, "so, this restaurant we're going to - what kinda food is it?". Damn him for quizzing me.

"Uh, Italian", I answered with way too much hesitation, "I think you'll like it".

"Yeah?", he hummed, "what's the place called?". Really Ezra?

"Uh, god it slipped my mind", I shrugged and he raised his eyebrows.

"You forgot the name of the place we're driving to right now?", he chuckled and I stayed silent, "y'know you're a bad liar darlin', but I'll go along with it for you".

"Good, stop asking questions", I wanted to kiss that smirk off of his face, "we're nearly there".

"Full of surprises Isabella", he drummed on the wheel, "I'm intrigued". As he should be.

"Holy shit", Ezra had whispered that a million times by now, he'd done about four 360s of the rink and stared at it in awe; I'd be as taken aback as he was except Xav had brought me here a week ago to show me around.

"Xav's pride and joy", I chuckled, "okay, let's get skates on and I'll show you how it's done".

Now, from learning that my boyfriend had never ice skated before I knew we were in for a ride, but I didn't expect this much of a ride. I'd nearly pissed myself at least ten times.
