"Riva... look!" Max said pointing at a poster.
"Yes?" I replied curiously.
"There's a new skating rink opening in town!"
"We have got to go there!" I said excitedly.
"That's what I was thinking, Riva!" He agreed.
"So... are you free next Sunday?" I asked trying to hide my red cheeks.
"Depends what time"
"Uh... 5:00 p.m?
"Great! It's settled then!"
Sunday
"Ugh... Max is late!" I said checking the time.
"It's 5:23 already!"
"What do you mean I'm late! I'm right here!"
I gasped, "Well, you're 23 mins late!"
"Hmph! whatever..."
"Anyways we should go rent out our skates and helmets" I said changing the subject.
"I have my own. I don't need to rent"
"Oh okay, can you wait for me? I don't have any"
                                                                                                 5 mins later
"Max! I'm back!"
"Max? Where're you?"
I remember standing there all alone at the skating rink.
2 years later, I learned the truth. Max's father found out about him going out with me. His dad hates elves. Max's dad dragged him out. He called a taxi, but the driver was drunk. Max, his dad, and the driver died in a car crash. When the police and ambulance came, they never found Max's body.
