"So are you ok?" Mathew asks Josie while they both take a seat in their classroom.

"Yeah I'm fine. It's just been hard." Josie sighs while placing her dark purple Stanley cup on the desk.

This gets Mathew's attention and before he can say anything, he felt a hand on his shoulder so he looks up at some girl wearing a Dutch braid.

"Hey, I just wanted to know if we can grab some food later?" She asks him while giving him a little wink.

Mathew just stares at her and blinks. And wonders if she's oblivious.

"No I don't. I'm going out with my girlfriend tonight." Mathew tells her while grabbing Josie's hand and staring down at their intertwined fingers.

The girl then glares at Josie.

"Whatever, it's your loss." She says then walks away and up the steps to find her seat.

"We have plans?" Josie asks Mathew with a small grin on her face.

Yes. Mathew wanted to take Josie ice skating so that's what they'll do.

"Yep, tonight we are ice skating." Mathew tells her with a smirk on his face.

"You're doing fine." Mathew assured his frustrated girlfriend.

Josie is holding onto his hands and wobbling everywhere. Hoping that she won't fall and cut herself. Like she's seen in a movie.

"Mathew I'm nervous." Josie says while her heart is racing.

He then pulls her into his chest and his arms are wrapped around her waist.

"How do you make it look so easy?" Josie asks Mathew but her voice is muffled since her face is squished into his chest.

"Just slowly move with me." Mathew informs her starting to sway back and forth.

Josie then copies him.

"Hey, I think this is ok." Josie says while smiling and closing her eyes.

"I figured." Mathew chuckles.

They start to skate a little more when Josie then starts to hear the voice.

"You're going to fall. And hurt yourself and I will laugh and giggle." The voice tells Josie with some amusement.

"Shut up. Just stop!" Josie yells out loud while smacking her head after pulling away from Mathew's warm embrace.

Mathew grabs Josie's hand worriedly and leads her off of the ice and onto the floor and sits her on a bench right next to the rink.

"It's just the damn voice won't leave me alone Mathew." Josie says while having tears stream down her face.

Mathew kneels in front of her and then kisses her on the forehead.

"Is she okay?" A lady asks the couple.

They both look at a worried lady holding a little boy on the side of her hip.

"You're an attention whore." The voice laughs.

Making Josie cry some more.

"Yeah, she's fine." Mathew tells the woman while taking off Josie's skates then his own.

He then grabbed their regular shoes and lead him and Josie out of the building.
