I got to the roller rink early to find a spot to sit. Usually if you got there later you had to stand up the whole time. So I walked over to the concession area where all the booths were. I wasn't the only person there, there were about ten others, trying to get a seat like me I supposed. I saw a lot of fummiler faces people from school and stuff, but then I locked eyes with someone I didn't expect to see. It was Lucas, he was standing behind the counter staring at me. The only thing I could think to do was go talk to him.
When I got up there he sighed,"So you work here, is that why you moved our meeting place?,"
He smiled like a little kid trying to his parents to buy him something, "Yeah my parents bought the rink. Well my mom did and because of custody rights my father had to move here so that we don't have to travel a thousand miles every two weeks. And my shift ends at six, so that's why I wanted to meet at six thirty,"
"Oh, well now I feel bad that I came early," I sighed feeling like I just found something out that I wasn't supposed to.
"Well my shift ends in five so if you want to wait that would be fine with me,"
So I took a seat right next to the counter and when nobody was up there we talked. When his shift was over he took off the apron he had been wearing and we got our skates. Surprisingly he paid for my rental.
When we found a spot in the far corner of the food court we started to put our skates on. For him it was easy, but for me it was a whole different story. I heard him trying not to laugh. I looked up at him with a despite look on my face.
"Help?," I asked and he smiled. He got down and helped me with my skate.
"There, now I have to ask you something seeing as how you couldn't even put your skates on, can you roller skate?," he asked me getting up and helping me to my feet.
I gave a little laugh "A little, but I'm still going fall here and there,"
"Okay well I try to stay with you most of the time," he said with a wink.
We went out to the skate floor, and almost immediately fell. But someone caught me but when I looked up it wasn't Lucas. It was Adam. He smiled at me.
"Um...don't take this the wrong way but what are you doing here?," I asked him standing up.
"Oh well, Christa asked me to come here with her, Taylor, and Kently. She also made a joke about stalking you that I didn't quite understand,"
Just then Lucas came staking up behind me, "Hey Craft, what are you doing here?," he said using Adam's last name which made me feel weird for some reason.
"He's here with Christa and my other friends," I said answering for him.
Adam nodded in agreement, "Well I see you found Alina," shouted someone from behind us. I spun around to see Christa being held up by Taylor in the middle of the rink.
When I looked back at Adam his face was crimson. Christa had Taylor wheel her over to us so we could chat.
"So how's your date going Alina?," she asked me after the boys skated away and she found a wall to balance on.
"It's not a date!," I nearly shouted. I then realized the DJ was changing songs and some people had hured me say it. And those people included both Adam ,who was smiling like a child at a fair, and Lucas ,Who surprisingly looked shocked.
Christa just made a Mh-hum noise and got Taylor to help her off the floor. When I got tired of skating I went back to my seat in the corner where Lucas was sitting looking rather disappointed.
"Are you okay Lucas?," I asked him.
"I think so...I'm just a little confused,"
"Is this about what Christa said? About this being a date?,"
He sighed "Yeah,"
My eyes widened with his response. I thought we were just hanging out as friends. I never got the impression that it was a date. I then thought back to our kiss the day before. And it all made sense.
"Well if you want it to be a date I have no ubgections to it," I smiled at him.
He smiled back. Then he tool my hand and started leading me away from the booth. I didn't understand what he was doing at first but then realized it was a couples skate. Then song was a favorite of mine, 'kiss it all better' by He is We. When we started skating Lucas turned so he was facing me and holding both my hand. He was now slating backwards which I had to admit was impressive.
I had no idea how long we stayed like that, just staring into each others eyes, but when it was over and I looked at my phone it was eight o'clock. I took my skates back to the attendant and Lucas walked me home.
When we got to my front door we stood there in silence. Then the door opened to revile my mother. My eyes went wide once again, and her face looked the same. She usually wasn't home at this time and if she was she was asleep.
"Oh I didn't realise you were with somebody," she said "Well hi I'm Alina's mother," she held out her hand.
"Um...Hi I'm Lucas Hill. It very nice to meet Alina's sister," he said shaking her hand and trying to be charming.
She smiled back at him, and to tell the truth I was nervous. I had never brought a boy home before and I had NO idea how she would act, even if we weren't an "official" couple.
"Oh aren't you charming. Well it was very nice to meet you but it is late and a school night, so Alina say goodbye and come in," then she shut the door and left us there again alone.
I said goodbye and he used one of his witty and charming lines before I went inside and he walked home. When I got inside my mother was waiting for me in the kitchen. She was sitting at the table drinking tea. When she saw me walk in she smiled and motioned for me to sit down next her her. She poured me some tea and then asked me what I new was the only thing on her mind......
"So Lucas?,"
