AMBER POV

The soft ice underneath my skates was ready to support me.
I begin my routine, starting with a crossover-backwards, and I feel the wind lashing gently on my skin. I begin to turn counter-clockwise, and enter my spin. Everything is balanced out, perfect, and I feel like nothing can stop me.

Until I saw a flash of bright red zoom past me, right before my eyes.
I quickly lost my concentration, and I begin to feel myself fall face first.
And....
CLICK!

I hear someone's skate blades collide with mine.

"Oh my god," I hear a boy's voice.

"Shit!" I yell as I feel like passing out. A pair of soft and firm hands are resting on my shoulders, and I realize that I am not on the ground.
"
What the f-"

I look up, and I could not fucking believe it.

It was Thomas.

"Hey, are you alright?" He asks me.

Oh my god.

I just stare at him like a crazy person, and I can feel the heat rise to my cheeks.
"Yeah um, I'm okay, thanks," I reply in a squeaky voice.

"Wow, you scared me when you started to fall! Thank god I caught you," Thomas chuckled.

I literally could not believe this was happening. He helped me regain my balance, and I straightened out my shirt and looked up at him.

"You are amazing!" He exclaimed, and I noticed that he started to blush.

"Thanks," I said back, with a warm smile. I could feel my cheeks get even more red.

"Have I ever seen you before?" He asks me.

"Um yeah I think so. You skate usually at Penny Royal rink, right?" I replied.

"Yeah!" He said cheerfully.

"Cool," I responded, letting out a nervous laugh.

"Hey, um.. Do you maybe want to go get some coffee sometime soon?" Thomas asks me, and I immediately reply:

"Yeah, that sounds great!"

"See you soon?"

"Yeah!" I say.

"Okay! Well, I better get going!" He says.

"Thanks again! I mean, for helping me!"

He skates away in a flash, and then he was gone.

Yes.

Step #1: get his attention.

Check.
