Cree

We had gotten to Cascade about 30 minutes ago. As I expected, I was having trouble skating.

Unexpectedly, Kannon didn't help me. He just skated past me over and over again.

I don't know why I expected him to help me. He was and always has been an asshole, but besides that fact... he was acting strange.

I wasn't gonna sweat it though. I plan to have a good time tonight.

What's crazy is how he wanted me to come here with him, but now he's acting like he doesn't even see me.

I'm convinced he's bipolar.


Kannon

Yes, I saw Cree. Yes, I seen her over there struggling. And, I wanna go help her.

But I'm scared I might kiss her again.

It might sound cliché or whatever. We all know how these things end.

I help her skate for the rest of the night with my hands planted on her waist or holding her hand. A good song starts playing and we look into eachother's eyes and... yadayadayada.

If I would've known that I had to kiss her, I wouldn't have come looking for her. I would've stayed my black ass home.

So now all I have on my mind is to stay as far away from her as I can for the rest of the night.

I'm already fucked up as it is. If I hadn't buried my feelings so deep, this night might turn into something beautiful. But that's not what I want. I don't want to drag her into the fucked up phenomenon that is my life.

So to keep down confusion, I should stay away from her.

I glanced her way to see her standing on the wall watching me skate.

She's not making this easy.

I looked away and found April and Bray skating together like a couple is supposed to.



Cree

I don't understand how someone can be such an asshole. It was like he knew I was there but he didn't want to notice me.

The way he was acting made me want to go home.

I attempted to skate back to the entrance until I ran into a hard body, causing me to lose my balance and fall on my ass.

"Sorry. I'm sorry shorty." the person said.

I looked up to see a guy holding out his hand to help me up. I gladly took his hand as he pulled me up before apologizing again.

"It's okay. I'm not really good at this anyway." I said shyly pushing my hair behind my ears.

I looked up finally taking in all of his features. He was mesmerizingly gorgeous. Literally breathtaking.
