I felt someone shaking my shoulder. "Hey," I heard a voice whisper. I opened my eyes. It was dark, so my eyes had to adjust. Sam came into view. He smiled once he saw my eyes open. "Wanna have some fun?" he asks. I look back and see Jack was sound asleep. I looked back to Sam and nodded with a smile.

I crept out of Jack's bed, careful not to wake him. "Where are we going?" I asked as he led me to the guest room.

"This is the quietest way out," he whispered. "C'mon," he opened a window and climbed onto the roof just outside of it. He waved me to come on. I carefully climbed out.

"What now? That's like a ten foot drop."

"This," he put his legs out in front of him and pushed. He slid down the roof and pushed up when he got to the gutter. He dropped down.

"Sam?" I whispered loudly. He stepped back a few feet.

"You'll land in the snow, c'mon!" I pushed and slid down the roof, pushing up like he did. Sure enough, I dropped into a big pile of soft snow.

I stood up and shook the snow off of me. "Where are we going now?" I asked.

"Have you ever been ice skating?" he asks me and I shake my head. "Good," he smiles. We walked a few miles, he gave me his coat to keep me warm. Once we finally reached the ice skating place, Sam led me to the back gate. He started climbing over it, "c'mon," he waves. I climb the fence. Once I'm over, I jump down and my eyes meet Sam's. He smiles and grabs my hand to lead me inside.

"We're gonna break in aren't we?" I ask with a devious smile.

"Yyyyyep." He lifts his beanie and pulls a Bobby pin out of his hair.

"Do you always carry those?" I ask.

"No, only when I need them," he laughs. I laugh to myself and wait for him. He picks the lock and we enter a dark room. He shuffles around and suddenly the lights turned on. "Viola!" He grabs a pair of skates. "What size?" he asks me.

"Umm, I look at my feet. Six and a half."

"YOUR FEET ARE SO SMALL!" he stares at them and laughs.

"Sam...." I said. "Did we walk here in our socks?"

He looks down, "ummm, yeah. I guess we did," he scratches the back of his head and frowns. "Yeah," he laughs.

I put on the skates and grabbed Sam's shoulder to keep me from falling. He looked at me and smiled. We walked to the ice and stepped on. I took a few steps and started to slide. "Sam!" I said reaching for him. He laughed and skated away from me. "Sammy!" I yelled this time.

"Here," he grabbed my hand and skated beside me. "Move your feet," he laughed. He pulled me along with him. I got the hang of it pretty soon and I was skating on my own. I noticed Sammy pull out his phone. "Alexis!" he called. "Smile, please," he grinned.

I smiled widely, and closed my eyes. I skated up to Sammy and and grabbed his arm. "This is fun!" I said happily. "Let me see that," I grabbed his phone.

"Here, use this." He pressed on an app called 'Snapchat.' I held the phone up. "Just hold it down to record, tap it to take a picture."

I held it down and grabbed his hand. We skated around and laughed. He posted it on his story, whatever that was. We took a bunch of 'selfies.'

"Hey, you ready to go?" he asks. "We can grab something to eat. It's six in the morning," he laughed. "They'll be opening soon."

"How long have we been gone?" I asked.

"Um, three hours," he answers.

"Wow," I laugh. We put up the skates and leave through the back door, where we came in. We climbed back over the fence.

"What do you want?" he asks me.

"Well, Jack took me to this place, they had Hawaiian waffles-"

"Oh, I know what you're talking about."

"Can we go there? I really liked it," I smile.

"Yeah," he smiles back. "So, you like Jack a lot?" he asks.

"Yeah, he's really sweet. He loves me a lot," I smile to myself.

"You two are cute."

"Well thank you," I reply. "Do you have a girlfriend?"

"Nope."

"What!" I say in disbelief. "No way," I mess up his hair with my hand. "You're so cute!" He grabs my hand from his hair and holds it. He swings it as we walk.

"I just never found someone I really like," he says. "Well I hope you and Jack work out, I think he really likes you. I could tell he was a little jealous when we were hugging," he chuckled.

"Yeah, just a bit."
