[ Skates over dates ]

Chapter 3

"Hey? Are you okay Ari? "Alyx said, concerned, I didn't respond, I couldn't answer.

Suddenly I snapped back to reality when someone bumped into me, "Ari?" Alyx said, "huh..?" I replied, "Are you okay? You zoned off.." Alyx said, "Sorry? What happened?"I replied, "We were about to finish up and go skate, "Oh?"I said, "My moms working at the fair and I have extra tickets, wanna go with me?" I asked, " The fair?! Yes, of course, I want to go!

Hold on let me ask my mom if I can go.."Eclipse said, "Okay call me back when you get an answer," Alyx said, "Ok, peace out," Eclipse said, A few minutes went by and we finally got a response from Eclipse, "My mom said yes but only for a few hours," Eclipse said, "Okk, should we meet her somewhere or...?"I asked, "Hey Eclipse where should we meet? "There's an arcade near my house I can meet you both at," Eclipse said, "Where is that even at?" I asked, "That's 10 minutes away," Alyx said, "We should race there and see who gets there first," Eclipse said, "Bet." I replied, as we jumped out of our seats and ran out of the cafe...
