{A/N: Obviously North is older than fifteen, but the song goes with this chapter, I think. Anyways, yeah. I don't even know if anyone looks at the song lyrics, so it's probably not that big of a deal ;)}

Time to buy and time to lose

She lands it.

I watch as she lands the triple axel, and I don't realize I'm holding my breath until I feel the need to breathe. I almost forget I'm holding the camera as I spin around in a circle with one hand up in a fist. 

I hear her scream, "I did it!" across the entire rink, and she spins in a tight circle, faster and faster. 

I skate over to her, leaving my camera on the carpet, still on.

She meets me halfway across the rink, and there's a huge smile plastered across her face. I can barely even see her eyes it's so huge. I overestimate my speed, and end up crashing into her. I barely manage to steady myself and her at the same time.

"Oh my gosh, I did it!" She whispers, one hand over her mouth. Her eyes are open wide with awe, and disbelief and I'm grinning. 

"You did," I whisper and I watch as a tear trickles out of one of her eyes. She looks up at me, and she's so happy and she's the happiest I've ever seen her, and she's smiling and laughing and something makes me pull her up and kiss her on the mouth.

And I don't know what it was, I don't know what on earth I was thinking, but I did it anyway. 

She kisses me back, only being shocked and umoving for a second. 

After a second I move back, and her eyes are still shining with unshed tears.

"Was that a celebratory kiss or..." Either she trails off, or I cut her off. I'm not sure which. 

But her lips are back against mine, and she wraps her hands in my hair and slowly, we begin to spin on the ice.

"Do you want me to take you home, or do you want to come help me?" I ask as we take off our skates in the locker room. 

She pulls hers off, and says, "What am I helping you with?"

I stand up and slip my feet back into my shoes. "I'm putting together the video tonight. Speaking of, the showing is tomorrow at 6 in the gym at my school. Wanna come watch it?"

She slings her bag over her shoulder as we walk out the door into the freezing air. "Yeah, I'll come help, and I'd love to come watch it tomorrow."

We're almost shoulder to shoulder as we walk out, but she's shorter than me, so it's more like shoulder to chin. 

We slide into the car, and I turn the heat on. It blasts cold air, and Noah shrieks before I laugh and shut it off. 

"So..." I trail off as I drive out of the parking lot.

She turns to face me in the seat, "So?"

I shrug, "I don't know. Will we still see each other after the movie is over?"
