The bus ride was filled with joy and laughter, and I honestly was so happy seeing Zephyrine's beautiful laughter and my friends getting along with her friends - it was a new experience for us. We've come so far, and I'm honestly so happy.
When we were almost arriving, it was almost 1 pm, and we made a stop at an ice skating rink. To pass the day until nighttime came, we all ice skated together and ate snacks.
"Alright, everyone! We're going to spend the afternoon ice skating and enjoying each other's company. Let's make the most of it!" Ms. Adams said.
We all cheered and quickly laced up our skates. Zephyrine and I held hands, giggling as we stepped onto the icy surface. Danielle and Aubrey glided effortlessly, their figure skating's skills on full display. Scarlett and Leena laughed and joked, trying to balance themselves. Ms. Adams skated around, offering words of encouragement and making sure everyone was having fun.
As we skated, Zephyrine and I started a game of tag, our friends joining in. We twirled and spun, our laughter echoing off the rink's walls. Danielle and Aubrey showed off their tricks, impressing us with their skill. Scarlett and Leena improved with each lap, their confidence growing. We played a game of "Red Light, Green Light" and "Simon Says" on the ice, our laughter and shouts filling the rink.
"Time for a break, everyone!" Ms. Adams said.
We all collapsed onto the benches, exhausted but exhilarated. We sipped hot chocolate and munched on snacks, discussing our favorite moments so far.
"Time for a group challenge! We're going to play a game of 'Ice Skating Limbo'!" Ms. Adams said.
We all cheered, curious. Zephyrine and I exchanged a confused glance, but our friends reassured us, "Don't worry, we've got this!" The game began, and we took turns trying to limbo under the bar without falling.
Zephyrine and I held hands, our trust growing with each successful pass. Danielle and Aubrey cheered us on, while Scarlett and Leena offered words of encouragement. We all cheered and clapped as each person made it under the bar, our spirits high.
"Let's show off our skills and have fun!" Ms. Adams said.
We all nodded, excited. Zephyrine and I took center ice, our friends forming a circle around us. We began to skate in unison, our movements fluid and synchronized.
Danielle and Aubrey performed a stunning duet, their twirls and jumps mesmerizing. Scarlett and Leena added their own flair, their smiles radiant. As we finished, the rink erupted in applause, our pride and joy palpable.
