"This is excellent " my professor said as he read my essay. "Really?" I asked shocked. "Yes" he paused" I see something in you that I don't see in anyone else in this class" he carries on taking his glasses of. "You have potential , you have true talent in this subject " He tells me. It's weird I always thought I was the most stupid in this class . My professor walks over to his desk and I follow him. "This , it's a convention for literature, all the best poets, writers and true talented students will be attending " he says pointing to his screen. I can't believe it I have always wanted to go to this ever since I was little.Its like a musician going to the Grammys. "You think I'm worthy of going" I ask "never been more sure" he buts in. "I dunno" I reply "nonsense, look I'll give you the invitation and you can choose weather to go or not" he says understanding that I'm worried. "Thank you " I tell him "Kendall just remember it's a once in a life time opportunity that you would be silly to miss" he adds. I just smile and leave . As I leave the room I grab my mobile and phone my mum . "Hello sweetheart , mummy misses you lots" she answers the phone. "Hey mum miss you two" "how are you?" she asks "I'm good and I have great news" i tell her "oh what !" she says . "right mum you know ever since I was little I would always speak about that one thing that I dreamed of going too" I say. Mum pauses "umm it's that literary convention " "well yeah guess what I have been given an honouree invitation to it" I add "oh honey that is fantastic , I'm so proud of you I can't wait to tell your dad" she says. "Yeah but I don't know if I'm definitely going to go" I add "what are you kidding me Kendall!" mum shouts "mum I'm not as good as them" "well you obviously are else you wouldn't of got invited" "mmm" "you are going even if I have to drag you myself" mum jokes. My phone buzzes in my ear, I pull it away and see that I'm getting another incoming phone call from Zoe."Haha okay well I have to go mum I'll call you later" I laugh "alright honey, stay safe love you" she says and hangs up. "Hello " I answer Zoe "hey cutie, you free tonight" she says" yeah why?" I ask . "Oh a load of us are going ice skating you know the one outside " she tells me "you wanna come" she adds. "Yeah sure I'll be there" I say. I hang up the phone and walk back to my flat. Were all meeting at 8 so I have a couple hours to waste . I make myself some dinner and watch an episode of keeping up with the kardashians. after it finishes I do my makeup and change my clothes. I wear my high waist black jeans , my see through cream blouse that I tuck into my jeans. My leather jacket , a knitted cream scarf and my bear gloves. My hair looked naturally nice and wavy which it doesn't to often so I decide to take the great opportunity . I quickly reapply my lip balm , ruffle my hair, grab my phone and leave .

When I arrive it seemed that everyone was already there. Caspar, Marcus ,tanya, jim, louise, zoe, Alfie and Joe were there. "Sorry I'm l-" I get interrupted "sorry I'm late" someone says. I turn around to see who it was. it was Jack he was smirking . I just roll my eyes "Alright cheeky" he asks snuggling closer. "Haha I was great before "I tease him snuggling him away. We get our skates on and get on the ice rink. I'm not the worst ice skater ever but it has been a while since I have skated. I struggle and loose my balance . My foot slips and i fall back . Someone comes behind me and grabs me to stop me falling. I turn around to see who it was , it was Jack. "Shitttt " he says as he pulls me back up. "Thank you that was scary" I say. Jack lets go of me and I begin to wobble again . He grabs on to me "Oh comeon" he laughs. Jack grabs my hand and skates pulling me along with him . We skate around with me falling every now and then but Jack made it so much easier. Zoe and Alfie skated past us holding hands cutely like your typical lovey dovey couple. Zoe turns around, raises her eyebrows smirking and gave us a cheeky wink. Jack looks down at me and laughs. "Haha shut up if I could skate I wouldn't be holding your hand" I teased. A cold breeze hit us making me shiver. I snuggled up closer to Jack to keep warm and he grabs my fingers tighter . "Cheeky" he laughs "I'm cold" I pull a sad pout. "Haha just call me your night in shining armour "he says. "In your dreams " I joke. "Dream big" he adds giving me a wink.
