About an hour later Cameron and I decide to head back inside. It's about 10pm now and curfew is 10:30.

"Luna! Come over here and show us how you do that triple axel jump thing" Sawyer exclaims. I nod, pull on my skates, eager to get on the ice. I do a few laps of the rink before building up to launch myself off the ice. I gather up enough speed, jump up, spinning around 3 times before landing back on the ice perfectly. My friends give me a round of applause as I smile to myself. I haven't done that in months- judging by today, I didn't expect that to go well at all.

I watch Cameron on the side lines beam at me. I smile meekly and begin to skate around once again. I perform a crossfoot spin and receive another round of applause.

"Show off" Isaac laughs.

"I'd like to see you try that" I retaliate.

"Show me how good you really are then!" He shouts from the other side of the rink. "Do the split jump"

"Are you trying to make me kill myself?"

"What's a split jump?" Cameron asks.

"Luna's about to show you" Isaac smiles.

"Fine" I groan. I pick up a bit of speed, swing my left leg backwards and throw it forwards, thrusting myself into the air. I split my legs into a straddle, swinging my legs higher than I ever have before. If these jeans haven't ripped by the end of this it'll be a miracle. I land it perfectly. I give myself a little fist pump before turning back to my friends. They all stand before me with their mouths gaping open in shock.

"Boom" Isaac shouts excitedly. "That was amazing" He imitates a mind blown action.

"Thanks Saac" I laugh skating over to him. He holds out his arms and I fly into them. He wraps his arm around my shoulders as we leave the ice.

"So did you kiss him?" Alexa asks as we lay in our beds.

"No I didn't kiss him" I laugh.

"But you wish you did"

"He's hot, we don't blame you" Sawyer inputs.

"You guys! Can we stop talking about my non existent love life and talk about your love lives?"

"What love lives?" Alexa smirks.

"I've seen you giving the eyes to a certain Jack Johnson" I wiggle my eyebrows at her.

"He's cute what can I say?" She shrugs.

"You should totally date" Sawyer exclaim, sitting up in bed.

"I can put in a good word for you, see if he likes you?" I suggest.

"Would you?" She says excitedly.

"Of course!" I offer. "And you, Sawyer. What's going on with you and my brother?"

"Nothing apparently. I told him everything and he just brushed it off."

"I'll sort him out. He has to listen to me. I'm the queen of the family." I smirk. "I think he likes you"

"You think? I mean you'd know, you know him better than you know yourself"

"Exactly! So you girls leave everything to me and I'll make it happen." I smirk once more.

"So anyway. Tell us about Cameron" Alexa says changing the subject back to my non existence love life once again.

"There's nothing to tell. He's a nice guy." I shrug.

"Nice enough to date?"

"I don't know. He told me that he got held back a year in school because he got caught smoking pot" I blurt. "But you can't tell anyone that. Especially not my brother." I say staring straight at Sawyer. I know what she's like- she's got a big mouth.
