Scarred

Chapter 3

Ross POV-
I pulled up to Sarah's driveway and I knocked at her door. I saw her in a beautiful crop top and a slight curl to her hair. She looked... Beautiful. I smiled as she intertwined fingers with mine.

We plopped into our seats and I started the engine. Tonight is going to be perfect. I backed out of the driveway with Sarah's hand still in mine.

"To be honest, I can't really skate well." Sarah said looked down.

"No worries, I will be right beside you." I winked and she smiled.

We finally got to the skating rink, and I parked right in front of the door. I got our and quickly ran to the other side to open the door for Sarah. She smiled, then got out.

I opened the entrance door and she walked in, mesmerized by the colorful, bright lights. I smiled, and took her hand to lead her to the skate counter.

"Size 9 please!" I said.

"Size six!" She said as I took my skates. I took them over to the bench so I can tie them on. She soon joined me and tied them with ease.

"Ready?" She asked. "Ready." I replied. She stood up, stumbling. She tried skating forward, but fell backwards into my arms.

She turned a bright red and turned towards me. "Sorry!" She said worried. "No problem. Just hold my hand and we can skate together." I said sweetly, and she smiled and took my hand.

We skated around and around, with an occasional fall because Sarah was still getting used to it. "You're getting good!" I complimented.

"Thanks! I'm trying my best!" She said laughing a bit. I smiled and bit my lip. Then, I heard someone whipping right by us on their skates. The second time she came around, she bumped into Sarah and knocked her flat on her butt.

I leaned down to help her up, and the girl that bumped into her came racing back. "Watch where you're going!" Sarah said grabbing my hand to get up.

"Sorry! I didn't see you-" she started saying, then got cut off when she took a good look at Sarah's face. "Wait, Sarah? Sarah Matthews?"

Sarah nodded, "Ya that's me!" She examined the girls face also. "Ashley?!" She screeched. The quickly hugged and started taking about how they haven't seen each other in so long, and talked about who I was and why I was here.

"I will text you later!" Sarah ended it off, then we all skated in different directions.

"Okay everyone, now's the time to grab that special girl and slow it down." The DJ said as he slowed down the music.

Sarah looked at me with her beautiful blue eyes and said, "May I have this skate?"

I chuckled. "Of course."

She put her arm around my waist and I snuggled next to me as we skated. I smiled and put my arm around her shoulders.

The song soon came to an end and we went to a bench to take off our skates.

"I had a lot of fun tonight Ross." She said as she untied her shoes. "I did too. Maybe we can hang at my house before to leave?" I asked. She nodded and walked her skates back to the counter, and slid back her normal shoes on. I did the same, and led her back to the car.

I drove back to my house, and I unlocked the door revealing rocky, riker, ryland, Rydel, and ellington watching a football game.

"Hey guys!" I said to them. "Hey ro-" Rocky began to say but got cut off at the sight of Sarah. "Woah.."

"Back off!" I snapped. "Is this the girl you wouldn't stop talking about today?" Riker asked. I nodded and turned a bright red. I turned back to Sarah and saw her turn a bright red.

"This is riker, Ratliff, Rydel, ryland, and rocky." I said as I pointed to each one. "Hey!" They all said in unison.

Rydel came running towards her and hugged her. "I hope we can become best friends!" She said. Sarah nodded in agreement, smiling widely. "I'm Sarah by the way." She announced.

Everyone smiled, not taking their eyes off the tv screen. Sarah and I sat down next to each other on the couch, and not even 5 minutes went by before her phone went off.

"It's my mom, she wants me to come home." She said sadly. I looked down. "Really?" I asked messing with my thumbs. "I'm sorry! Hey, don't forget, we have to hang out again right?" She said lifting my chin.

I smiled widely and took her hand. "I'm going to take Sarah home ok?" I announced. Everyone nodded and waved goodbye, and I led Sarah out the door.

I drove her quickly to her house, and walked her up to her doorstep. We faced each other and smiled. "Thanks for tonight Ross. It was really sweet!" She said. "No problem, the next one is going to be even better." I said.

She giggled, and looked down at her feet. I lifted her chin, then slowly started to lean in.
