As I rushed through the coffee shop I saw this flier for a fireworks show. I copied the information and RAN! I was so busy I needed to go down port get presents get lunch and then meet my coach at the park by 5. It was currently almost 10 and I had so much on my mind! As I drove away I tried to relax a bit. When I finally got to the rink it was  about 10:45 and I had to still pay and get my skates on. I got into the building and got my skates on fairly quick. I had been in such a rush I tripped a man holding a camera! I was so embarrassed!
"Sorry" I said apologetically
He just chuckled and said
"It's fine!"
He had a strange accent. Definitely not a New Yorker I thought
" Not from around here?" I hinted
"No no. London."
"Ahhh I see!"
"Hey umm I was just wondering if you could help my friends and I skate? I know it sounds funny but none of us have before."
He looked kind of ashamed.
"Sure! I've taken lessons for about 10 years now!" I agreed
"Thanks a lot!! " he said with excitement.
"I see you have a camera. Do you want me to take photos or-?"
He cut me off
"Oh no! I'm a YouTuber so.. yeah"
"I see now!"
"Hey we also have never been to New York do you mind showing us around?"
"Sure thing!" I said grinning!
"Also what's your name?"
"Emily."
He shook my hand.
"Jack!"
His smile made me feel like this might be a start to a new friendship!
