Ella looked at herself in the mirror.

Today was the annual Toronto Maple Leafs Christmas skate.

The boys have invited the girls to come along.

Ella sighed as she looked at her phone.

Jacob has been calling her non stop, she has declined all of them.

"Please block his number" Savanna commented as she enters her room.

"I can't, he is still my boyfriend" Ella said as she placed her phone down.

"Can you at least tell him to stop texting me asking to talk to you?" Savanna asked.

"You block his number, I don't want to talk to him" Ella said as Savanna rolled her eyes.

"Please explain why you aren't talking to him?" Savanna asks.

"Because he accused me of cheating on him with Mitch which is completely false. I'll talk to him once he apologizes" Ella says as her phone starts to ring again.

"I'm going to smash that phone if I hear your phone ring one more time" Savanna says.

Ella looks at her phone and sees it's a message from Sydney saying that she is downstairs.

"SAVANNA IT'S JUST SYDNEY!! SHE IS DOWNSTAIRS" Ella yelled as she grabbed her purse and beanie.

                                   =

"Wow there are a lot of people here" Ella told Sydney and Savanna as they entered the arena.

"Yeah everyone is here" Sydney says as they spot the three boys.

"Hey amigos" Ella says as they approached the boys.

"Hey baby" Savanna says to Auston giving him a kiss.

"Hey Mitch do you know where Matt is?" Sydney asked Mitch.

"Um I saw him talking to Jake earlier over there" Mitch pointed to the bar.

"Okay I have to check up on him" Sydney tells Ella as she leaves them.

"Hey" Ella says to Mitch.

"Hi" Mitch back as they stare into each other's eyes.

"Hello" William speaks up interrupting the moment.

"Oh I forgot you were here" Mitch says.

"Yeah well I want to go skate now" William says.

"Want to skate?" Mitch asks Ella as she nods.

The three go and get their skates.

"Shit" Ella mumbled as she has trouble tying the laces on the skate.

"Here" Mitch helps her.

"Thanks" She says smiling at Mitch.

William smirks at the two and turns to Savanna and Auston who are at the other side of the room.

He gives them a thumbs up.

"Okay let's go" Mitch says as they go out onto the ice.

Ella and Mitch both go on and do a couple of laps with William just behind them.

"Hey want to do a couple of spins?" Mitch asked Ella.

"Uh i'm not good at that" Ella says.

"Come on i'll help you" Mitch says as Ella still is unsure.

"Trust me" Mitch gives her a convincing look.

Ella bites her lip as she grabs Mitch hands.

They begin to spin around while holding onto each other.

Ella screams and closes her eyes.

Ella opens her eyes again when they finish spinning.

Ella looks at Mitch who just stares at her.

"What?" Ella asked thinking she had something on her face.

"You trust me" Mitch says.

"Of course I do" Ella says.

The two share a moment standing on  the ice staring into each other's eyes.
