Hey guys, so This is my first chapter BUT it's basically my own continuation of "I don't want to be friends" by BasicallyAnAuthor; since they haven't updated the story yet. Imagine it as Chapter 17 part 2 of their story ;)
...An arihorn went off, meaning that the game had begun...
The game had begun and the opposite team immediately tried to shoot at me, Leo grabbed my wrist and pulled me aside, just in time, we hid behind a tree, Leo was heavily panting while he tried to shoot some 'enemies', sending three or four to the ground. He sensed me gazing at him and the corner of his mouth lifted into a cocky smirk "like what you see?" I immediately nudged him in the shoulder rolling my eyes at him while I blushed, he knew it bothered me when he 'flirted' like that with me. "LEO!!" I shouted, as he immediately turned towards me and noticing that the 'enemies' were getting closer. Once again he grabbed my wrist as he ran to find shelter, while I was running I stumbled upon a log and he lost his grip on my wrist, in the blink of an eye he turned around and swiftly picked me up from the ground, bridal style, asking me if I was okay, I kicked trying to get out of his arms while I laughed, this didn't change his concerned look "You didn't answer my question, are you okay?" He said seriously while gently putting me down on the ground. "I'm fine DAD" I said as I turned around rolling my eyes, I noticed a slight sadness in his eyes, why was he being so 'sweet' to me... ever since he kissed me he's been acting different; I then remembered what Nate suggested and I decided to try and treat Leo indifferently. "Sorry... I was just trying to be polite..." he said with a sad face, "Yeah whatever" I smirked at him, that made him smile. The game was over, Our team won and we had both resisted till the end.
We had a quick break during which I ' flirted' with Nate noticing Leo kept eyeing him and trying to stay near me at all times, were they all (Peter, Kirsten , mom etc..) actually right..? Does Leo actually love me? No, stop I'm being self centered of course he doesn't love me, he was just trying to prove a point when he kissed me. How could I ever think that.
The 15 minute break came to an end and all I could think about, when I wasn't talking to Nate, was what Leo and Alice were discussing earlier... A sudden flick on my forehead got me out of my thoughts, I looked up to see Leo holding his skates for the next competition, I remembered about them as I went to get them Leo stopped me, taking them out from behind his back "looking for something?" I snatched them out of his hand looking away, forcing myself not to smile. "Sorry... what's wrong ,Y/n? Something is clearly wrong... " he said with a concerned look in his eyes as he sat beside me on the bench in the snow covered park. "Remember... we don't lie to each other..." I instantly remembered that he lied to me about 'getting lost on his way back to the bathroom' and how I lied to him on what I was talking about with Nate.. He put his arm around my shoulder squeezing me close to him, I tried to move his arm off me but that only resulted in him trying to tickle me knowing my ticklish spots, I hate that he knows so much about me. What started as a giggle turned in to a kid-like wrestling fight on the floor, Leo stopped tickling me, I didn't realize I was lying with my head on his stomach so I didn't move while we looked at each other for a moment, He smiled at me and I clearly blushed .I noticed his Adam's Apple slightly bobbing and his breathing Intensifying his blue eyes shimmered as his cheeks slowly turned light pink, he looked at my lips, hesitantly, That's when I turned my head towards the sky as I watched the snowflakes fall on my face... I remembered what Peter had told me... and what Leo said and how he treated me at that 'fake-date'... I noticed Leo gently moving my head off his stomach, still holding my head in his hands as he sat behind me, he gently laid the back of my head on his lap, as he moved my hair out of my face. I noticed he was looking more at me than the sky... I suddenly turned around noticing Leo smiling softly at me, with a slightly embarrassed face, "We should go get ready for the figure skating competition, it starts in ten minutes" I said, Leo covered his frown with a soft smile "sure" he said as he helped me up. As I got into the bathroom I quickly slipped into my Figure skating dress

-Basically how I imagine the dress, but the v neck is less showy , idk how to explain lol-
As I touched up my make up, I heard a knock on the door and I knew it was Leo by the knocking pattern "what do you want?" I asked as he entered the bathroom to fix his hair Leo's skating outfit was barely anything 'pretty' simple black snow pants with a black jacket "Wow.. you look great in that, y/n" He said while he looked in my eyes with a soft smile, I immediately got butterflies the way he said it, he had seen me in that before and always complimented me but this time his voice, it sounded different, it sounded sincere and not just out of politeness. "Thanks, I guess" I smiled , he looked away scratching the back of his head, the tension in the room was very bothering "Do you fancy me or something?" I said as I punched him in the shoulder, to lighten the atmosphere. He started laughing "When will you learn, my little strawberry, I also compliment your mom, it doesn't mean I like her." He said while leaning in and whispering the 'my little strawberry' part in my ear, as I pushed him away scoffing in a sarcastic way, he winked at me "I guess there's no need to say we're gonna compete together right? As a duo" he asked while fixing his hair in the mirror "well yeah, I mean who else would I skate with?" Leo stopped smiling and quickly looked over at Nate ,thinking I didn't notice, who was waiting outside the bathroom chatting with Alice. Wow, Nate was right, I was making Leo jealous , and it was working "Good, I wouldn't want my sweet strawberry Skating with anybody else" he said as he put a strand of my hair behind me my ear, while smirking at me.
He knew what he was doing, and I hated it.
I pushed him off as I walked down the stairs trying not to stumble.
- The figure skating competition had begun, I was anxious, I had to do a number with Leo and let's just say the coreography is more of a couple thing. He seemed completely calm, happy to do the skating number, I might add. He looked over at me noticing I looked stressed "Hey, y/n , are you ok? If you don't feel comfortable participating in this competition with me it's fine, we can go grab something to eat and enjoy the show" he said as, he put his arm around my waist, He had only done this once, at the fake date... I did feel comfortable doing this competition with him, i mean I had slow danced with him at night under the first snow fall, this is fine, it's just that he's giving a different vibe this time... "Nono I'm fine, I'm just thinking about something..." I said as I quickly got his arm off my waist, that was the truth, I was still thinking about what I saw on my moms phone, who was Jeremy and what did they do... "Are you sure...? You can tell me the truth you know that, right?" He said with a soft smile. Before I could even answer, the song "I wanna be yours" (by the arctic monkeys) began to play, it was our turn, Leo took my hand and brought me into the ice skating rink, he winked at me letting go of my hand as I twirled elegantly, after a few minutes Leo was skating toward me, as the chorus of the song was beginning he swiftly picked me up from the ground, making me spin, everything around us felt like it was in slow motion, Leo was looking at me with the most loving gaze in his eyes, "All good my little strawberry?" I got flustered as he asked me that. He slowly put me down smiling at me as the song came to an end, and we bowed, still holding hands.
