OUR WHOLE CLASS CONSISTED of boring lectures and taking notes, so when it was finally 5:30, avery and i were excited to finally be free of classes for the day. maggie was picking us up on her way to the rink so we could all go to family skate. we got into her car and made our way there. i changed into jeans and a michigan sweatshirt, and then wore a puffer coat over it, since it would be cold inside.

"are you excited to see luke's family again? i know it's been a while." avery asked me, knowing that i would probably be a little nervous, especially because luke and i were back together.

"honestly, i missed them a lot. i haven't seen them since luke and i broke up. i know they still keep in touch with my parents, and i still text jack and quinn, but nothing beats seeing them in person."

avery and maggie nod in agreement.

"what about you guys? are you going to skate with mark and dylan and their families?" i ask, eager to know the answer.

both girls blush in response.

"yeah, mark said he wanted me to meet his family," avery said nervously. "i'm kind of scared. what if they don't like me?"

i roll my eyes at her. "don't even say that, you're great with parents. and if mark wants you to meet them, i'm sure he thinks they'll love you." i reassure the brunette girl beside me.

"dylan wants me to skate with his family too," maggie says, pulling into a parking spot. "i always see his parents though, so i'm not that nervous."

we all get out of the car and make our way into the arena. i see mark, luke, and dylan, waiting for us with skates in their hands. we all say hi and start putting our skates on. luke helps me tie them, and once we have them on we make our way onto the ice, where i spot jack and quinn.

i'm about to skate over and hug them, but i realize that i'm still very rusty and i grab onto luke, which makes him laugh. i look up at him with a pout.

"don't laugh at me, i just want to say hi to your brothers!" i groan as luke holds onto my waist and leads me over to where quinn and jack were standing.

"hey guys!" i speak excitedly. the boys snap their heads to look at me and instantly smile, pulling me into a group hug.

"we missed you so much!" quinn said, but his voice was muffled a little bit.

"i missed you guys too!" i reply, looking up at them. they've grown so much since the last time i saw them. jack was now a little bit taller and had a little bit of a beard. quinn was still the same height, but he now had a beard as well. they were both a lot more muscular, probably because of all the training they do.

"do you wanna say hi to mom and dad?" jack asked luke and i.

we nodded and spotted them talking to ethan's parents at the other end of the rink. luke went to take my hand but i swatted it away.

"go say hi to your parents, i know you miss them, jack and quinn will help me over there." i push the boy towards his parents and he pouts, but listens to me and quickly skates over to his parents.

"you think you could beat luke in a race, jack?" quinn asked, linking one of his arms with mine, jack doing the same thing on my other side.
