Caitlin pov
"im going to miss you so much shnookmes," Connor says.
"im going to miss you two," I say. "I have to go to practice."
"okay," he frowns. "I'll see you in two weeks."
I turn and walk away from him and towards kate.
"shnookmes, huh?" she laughs.
"shut up," I laugh. "I don't like it either."
"I don't think anyone would," she says.
"im actually really confused though," I say.
"about what?" Kate asks me.
"I don't know, me and Connor's relationship has changed and he wants to have sex with me but im not ready. I just don't like kissing him. I don't know why. I've never felt like this before."
"I know this probably isn't what you want to hear, but that sounds like platonic love," she tells me.
"what?!" I yell. "no no no, he's my boyfriend!"
she looks hurt by my defensiveness. "sorry," she says before walking away.
Kate pov
"hey Kate?" a voice says behind me.
I turn to see a blonde girl looking up at me.
"hi?" I say.
"sorry, I've just seen you a bunch of times. I work here. I was wondering if I could get your number?" she asks.
"oh, yeah!" I smile.
we exchange numbers and I go back to practice.
after practice I look at my phone and see a new message.
Laura: hey! I was wondering what you were doing tonight?
Me: I have nothing planned at the moment. butttt I did see that skatewest is doing a 90s night!
Laura: that sounds like so much fun!!
me: meet there at 7?
Laura: sounds good!!
I walk into skate west and look for Laura. I see her struggling to stand up from the floor where she was putting on the skates.
I walk up to her once I have my skates on and ask, "can you skate?"
"nope!" she laughs.
"don't worry, I'll help you," I say.
after two seconds of being on the rink, Laura has already fallen. I pick her up and help balance her by holding onto her hips.
"thanks," she says flustered.
"no problem," I smile.
I grab her hand to help her stay up.
she smiles down at the ground before I gasp super loudly.
"I LOVE THIS SONG!!" I scream.
"oh god," she laughs.
I start skating backward while still holding her hand. "I LIKE BIG BUTTS AND I CANNOT LIE ALL THOSE OTHER BROTHER CANT DENY WHEN A GIRL WALKS IN WITH AN IDDY BIDDY WAIST," I yell.
"you're so weird," she laughs.
the song ends and a young girl walks up to us.
"hey, im a big fan," the little girl says. "can I get a picture?"
"of course!" I respond.
the kid smiles and poses.
"thank you!" the girl says before walking away.
"does that happen a lot?" Laura asks me.
"yeah, it happens a lot more to Caitlin though," I say.
"i bet," she says. "you two are best friends right?"
"yeah, we're really close," I tell her. "but she's not talking to me right now. she got upset with me earlier."
"oh, that sucks."
"yup."
"im sure she'll come around," she says.
"yeah."
we're now outside and Laura is leaning against my car.
"I had a lot of fun," she says.
"me too," I reply.
"I'd love to do it again," she says.
"same."
"I'll see you later?" she says.
"sounds good," I smile before kissing her on the cheek.
she smiles and her cheeks get pink.
