"Suprises?"
"Serene is finally here with us, outside of the school, for the first time," Emily teased. As this is my first time going out with them. Heh, is it very hard for a daughter to get approval from strict Asian parents okay?
"Come on, be grateful," I teased her back and smiled. We all agreed to go ice skating, as the majority of us didn't skate before. Since today Dylan isn't coming, as he was preparing to go to Paris with his family. So I have my time for all of my own.
"You good Serene?" sudden ask by Sharmine. She slowly skated to me, as I was having trouble moving even just a step.
"I am certainly not haha. Is so slippery," I replied.
"We're on the ice, what are you expecting?" She chuckles at my feedback.
She taught me the basic skate, and finally I can move like 1 meter away.
"Yay! Is an improvement, keep going Serene," Sharmine clapped her hands for me.
"Serene, can you give me back my Sharmine now?" Bryan suddenly appeared beside the ice skating rink, with a boy with him. Maybe is his friend? Or just another popular kid? Nevermind is none of my business.
"Sorry for booking your gf lol," I joked around, and Sharmine smiled, going to the side and hugging Bryan. How cute, I hope their relationship can stay long.
I was then trying again and again, to dare myself to skate even further. I am just scared of falling down, and I didn't wear longer pants, which I regretted instantly when I stepped into this ice skating rink.
"Okay, Serene, just, just larger steps okay? You can do this," I mumbled to myself, to give some encouragement. I pushed myself to the limits and didn't think of any consequences. I did it!
But not until the 3 steps, I bumped into someone.
"Omg so sorry," I was embarrassed. The stranger helped me to get up, and stabilize me, while holding my hand and arms.
I was about to flinch, since I was starting to have anxiety towards strangers, until I saw who he was.
It's Dylan. He looked relieved and squatted down to check on my legs, to see if there's any scars, then he stood up again.
"Aren't...you," I was speechless because I didn't expect him to come today.
"Surprised?" He smiled and patted my head, he proceeded to hold my face with his hands softly and gave me a forehead kiss.
I was so shocked, but this time, I don't feel any butterflies in my stomach, it's more like I feel saved around him, I feel loved.
