I groaned the next morning as I woke up. I had to go to the rink today. Marina was going to come with us and I think Jake was going to hang out with some guy named Guitar Dude. Go figure. I glanced at my clock and sat bolt upright. It was noon! I had overslept! I had an hour to go meet the guys with Marina.

I leapt out of bed and hurried to the bathroom, finishing my shower in a record ten minutes. I raced back to my room. Hm, ice rink means cold. I pulled out a pair of black jeans and layered a black long-sleeve V-neck with a blue T-shirt. I slipped my feet into a pair of boots, brushed my hair and glanced at the clock. Twenty minutes to eat.

I rushed out to the kitchen to see Marina with an amused look on her face.

"Overslept?" she asked smugly.

"Oh shush," I hissed as I started frying some eggs.

Ten minutes later, I was finishing off my toast and eggs. As I threw the dishes in the sink, I again looked at the clock. Five minutes. Whew! Made it.

"Let's go," I told Marina.

We took the stairs down to the lobby because I remembered Kendall saying they were faster than the elevator or something like that.

As we walked into the lobby, looking for the guys, three figures pounced on Marina. As I looked down to see who they were, a pair of hands covered my eyes as well. I spun around quickly to see Kendall behind me.

"Hey," he smiled at me.

"Hey," I replied before looking down and seeing Marina stuck under James, Logan, and Carlos. I started laughing as I helped her up. "You okay?" Marina nodded.

"Let's go! Carlos yelled.

"Yeah!" James added before the two ran out of the Palm Woods.

"Uh, they forgot their-" I began to say when I noticed James and Carlos' bags on the ground. I was cut off as the two came running back in. After grabbing their bags, Carlos shouted,

"Now let's go!"

"Yeah, now!" James added.

I looked over at Logan and Kendall, who just shook their heads at their friends' behavior.

"You get used to it," Logan sighed.

"Come on," Kendall laughed before we started out of the Palm Woods, hurrying to catch up with Carlos and Logan.

When we arrived at the rink, Marina and Carlos went skating off since Marina already knew how to skate and the others decided it would be safer if Carlos didn't help me.

James, Logan, and Kendall were on the ice waiting for me, but I stood at the entrance, afraid.

"Come on, Bridget," James tried but I shook my head.

"Please?" Logan tried begging. Again, I shook my head. As James and Logan started whispering, Kendall started talking softly.

"Come on, Bridget. You're going to be okay, you'll do great," he told me softly. I took a moment before nodding timidly and stepping onto the ice, where the three of them promptly grabbed my arms. They let go and stepped away. I moved about a foot before I felt myself falling backwards. I closed my eyes, waiting for the impact, when I felt someone catch me. I opened my eyes to find myself looking into Kendall's beautiful green ones. Wait, what am I saying? Oh that's right, remember the song? I'm in love with him, I think.

About two hours later, I had to admit I was actually getting the hang of it. Kendall, James, and Logan left me alone to try it on my own while they went to find Carlos and Marina.

I was feeling confident enough, so I ventured away from the side and started to skate slowly out to the middle of the rink. I thought I was doing great until someone whizzed by me. One of my legs shot out from under me and I fell down, hard. I heard the person laughing and turned to look at who it was. It was some girl I'd never seen before. What was her problem?

I didn't have time to think about it anymore as I saw my friends in the distance. Kendall, being the one who had been playing just a little longer than the others, was the first to reach my side. He quickly bent down so he was closer to me.

"Bridget!" Logan and James called.

"What happened?" Carlos asked.

"Bridge are you hurt?" Marina asked as she knelt on the other side of me.

"Are you okay?" Kendall asked, his voice softer than the others'. I calmed down as he spoke.

"I-I don't know," I replied.

"What happened?" Marina asked again.

"I was doing good so I moved out away from the side and some girl went by really fast and when I fell she started laughing," I told them.

"We'll deal with her later," James sighed.

"Yeah," Carlos assured me. I had a feeling they knew who it was.

"Marina and I will go call a doctor," Logan said. Marina nodded and the two skated away. "Carlos can come too," he called behind him.

"Here, let's see if you can walk on it," James suggested. I nodded before taking a deep breath.

James and Kendall helped me to my feet. As soon as I put pressure on my right foot, though, I cried out in pain and started to fall.

"I got her," Kendall told James before lifting me into his arms.

"What's wrong?" James asked again.

"Your ankle?" Kendall asked.

"I think I sprained my ankle," I whimpered.
