Sabrina McLain: 

"Okay, now open your eyes!" 

Lilly Nicole Porter

exclaimed from somewhere behind me. 

She lifted her hands away from 

my eyelids

and I opened my eyes. 

"Wow." 

She appeared in front of me, 

her arms crossed across her chest, 

her pretty face pouting. 

"That's all you have to say?" 

I shrugged. 

Lilly Nicole Porter had led me to 

an ice skating rink. 

Little kids in kiddy skates

clung to their wobbly-kneed fathers. 

Independent teenage boys pretended 

to ignore their cackling-in-clumps mothers. 

Young women skated gracefully

arm-in-arm with their boyfriends, 

who looked in love and chilly. 

"It's an ice rink." 

I stated. 

I'd never been good at ice skating. 

Lilly Nicole Porter rolled her eyes and turned around

to wave someone over. 

And out of the skate-rental room

came Kyle and Bryson, looking happy. 

They were bundled up in 

sweatshirts, gloves, and scarves. 

They waddled towards us on skates and 

Lilly Nicole Porter handed me a pair

of skates. 

She looked giddy. 

"C'mon 'Brina. We're teaching you how to skate."
