"Ok, ok, Marian Blanche, you are a strong, young and independent woman and a large block of ice will not make a fool out of you!" I whispered to myself behind the skating rink doors, ready to open them when Natalie walked past me chewing bubble-gum.

"Honey, you're making this a bigger deal than it actually is, so what if you fall, make a fool out of yourself, earn the disapproval of every guy in town, live alone for all eternity, and die an old cat lady with 40 cats- I mean who cares about that am I right?"

I stared at her flabbergasted and well...not sure what else to say about the matter since she just pointed out every bad thing that could happen to a nerd like me. Pushing the thought or rather thoughts out of my head I opened the doors and was greeted by a gust of refreshing cold air. I walked in and sat on one of the bleachers as Nat handed me a pair of skates and sat next to me as I tied them on.

"So... Do I have to teach you how to skate?" She said with a smirk.

"No! I'm fine, I'm fine."

Ok- whoa..." Nat trailed off staring at the rink. I looked at her weirdly then turned my attention to the rink. I widened my eyes as I saw a familiar tall male skating on the ice, it was the most graceful skating I've seen. I gulped and blushed when I found myself staring, staring is creepy and creepy is bad.

"Heh, he doesn't look half bad, plus his skating is good, but he's not going to outshine me, a champion." Nat said confidently as she skated into the rink and they basically had a one-sided skate off.

I gulped and shakily walked towards the gate, I walked into the rink then proceeded to grip tightly onto the railing, barely skating just flailing around like a fish on ice. I looked over at Natalie and...Isaac was it? Yeah I think it was Isaac and Natalie was running circles around him while he ignored her and continued skating. My grip on the railing loosened as I tried to skate on my own, as soon as I let go I slipped and fell, hitting my head on the ice. I opened my eyes and saw everyone staring at me as I blushed and looked down, trying to get up when I saw a hand reach out to me. I looked up and saw Isaac with a stoic and blank face. I smiled and took his hand as I stood and held the railing once more.

"Ahaha...thank you." I said quietly and attempted to skate away but nearly tripped on my own feet. He looked at me weirdly as I shouted an "I'm fine!"

Natalie then skated up to me with a smirk, twirling around me.

"Still want lessons from me? Or do you want that cute guy who helped you up to teach you?"

"Nope, I-I'm good, all good, good good good, goody goody gumdrops." I said shakily trying hard not to blush or fall on my butt.

"Really? Cause you're really worrying me."

I pursed my lips and furrowed my eyebrows. "Doesn't look that way."

"Hey! I just want you to find a Prince Charming, like me! But you just missed your chance, unlike me."

I chuckled and held out my hand for her to take.

"Ok, ok hah...can you teach me?"

She smiled and held both my hands and dragged me along the ice. After a while I began to get the hang of this ice skating thing when Natalie smirked and thought it was time to let me try on my own so she let me go. I began to skate in an uncoordinated fashion, spinning around and getting dizzy then I quickly felt a pair of hands grip onto my shoulders, keeping me still. I jumped in surprise and turned around as I blushed

"Ah! I'm sorry, I'm sorry did I hurt you? I'm sorry."

"Isaac is fine," he said in monotone.

I nodded and skated away in a weird way, and punched Nat on the arm as she laughed loudly.

"I'm not ready to skate on my own!" I complained.

"You look so awkward! Ahahah! L-like a duck on ice! Ahah!"

I shook my head, sighing I looked at Nat with a pout.

"Ok, ok... I'm done...whew, I'm done, let's go home, I gotta post more selfies."

I sighed and nodded as Natalie and I returned our skates and got our shoes back and went home.

((Third person's Point of View))

The girls went home as Isaac watched them leave with curiosity. He merely shrugged and went home, his brothers must be hungry at this point. As he returned to the cave Chris was sitting on the couch, playing a video game while Peter sat next to him on his phone like always, after all it's his life and soul in rectangular form. Isaac said nothing and walked to the kitchen and prepared dinner like any other day.
