That week went by faster than anyone could count on and Jacob became closer to raven with each passing day. And they had officially had a date for this Friday, along with Embry, Quil, Leah, and Seth.

Jacob was going to pick up Leah, Seth, and Raven, he was nervous. They were going to the Ice rink in Forks so Raven could check it out her being a skater and all. He wore a clean night white t-shirt with a black hoodie over it with dark jeans with his good shoes. He had tried to look and actually smell nice. Asking for his dad colonel, which had been pretty embarrassing seeing Paul was over with his sister. He drove up into the Clearwater's drive way and got out of the car heading to the door. Knocking and coming in "Let's go guys"

Sue Clearwater stood in her kitchen and saw Jacob and her face beamed rushing over too him "oh don't you look handsome" she said smiling as Seth and Leah came over. Leah let out a snort "Trying too hard Jacob are we?"

Seth punched his arm lightly "Sharp I'd say"

Jacob rolled his eye and looked behind him were he saw a small figure heading to them. Raven came across the Clearwater's yard wearing a pair in light skinny jeans and a zipped up purple jacket with a pair of pretty white clear ice skates in her hand. She looked so excited her smiled large "Bloody hell it's cold outside." She laughed as she reached them. Jacob looked around seeing how her breath showed in the air. He, being a wolf, didn't feel the cold well he was always very warm. Jacob smiled "Welcome to Washington"

"Oh I've had worse I am from London 70 percent of our year is icy" she laughed lightly.

Leah came out and smiled "Hey Rave"

Raven smiled up at Leah, Jacob felt a pain of jealously that Leah was better friend with his imprint than he was. Maybe it was a girl thing.

They all got into the car and Seth, stupidly; called shot gun so Raven sat in the back with Leah. As they drove down the rode the road played low in the back ground. Out of nowhere Raven let out a squeal

"Oh I love this song!" she said he accent showing. Jacob raised a brow and turned it up slightly, he didn't recognize the song at all.

Seth turned in his seat and looked at Raven "I heard you've never heard of half the songs we have here in America"

Raven smiled "Well that's because we have different artists in England"

Jacob smiled and put his eyes back on the road and watched as they pasted into Forks. They reached the ice rink short after and Raven basically was the first one out she was at the door before Leah was out of the car. Embry and Quil had already been inside waiting. Attempting to put on Ice skates, Jacob paid his way in and got a pair of them. He looking over seeing Raven lacing up hers and he looked at his and saw they had clips not lacing. He slid them on and clipped them tight. He had only been ice skating a few times at a total of 10. Seth had never been on the ice and Embry and Quil were hopeless. Leah had some experience being older; they all made their way to the ice walking awkwardly. Raven walked as if she wasn't wearing skates. Seth could barely make it to the door before he fell on his butt, Raven laughed so hard Jacob though she was going to fall and he could help but laugh along. Once on the ice Raven was gone she zoomed around happily as if she was flowing on air, Jacob awkwardly skated slowly around watching Seth try to get up after falling again. Embry and Quil were holding onto each other for dear life.

Raven skated into the middle of the rink and did a swift spin and laughed and made her way to Seth helping him up. She held his head and helped him get use to the ice and slowly taught him how to manage on his own. Jacob headed over to them Leah slid over and grabbed Raven's arm and linked it with hers and they skated laughing at Embry who had somehow managed to get into the middle and fall on his butt unable to get up. Jacob smiled as Raven skated over to him

"You seem to be quiet come join the party, but don't fall" she laughed. Jacob smiled and skated out to Quil who had seemed to master the skating process.

"okay!" Raven clapped "Let's race I bet I can beat you all"

Everyone smiled and nodded "Oh Please!" Embry boasted "I got this ill beat you easily"

Raven smile faded and her eyes locked on something across the room. Jacob frowned and looked over, he tried to see who or what she was looking at and saw some creepy looking guy with really pale skin leaning on the wall in black watching them. He tilted his head and looked back at the group.

Raven snapped back to them and smirked "I bet you $5" she smiled Quil let out an 'Oh' Embry agreed and they made their way to the end of the rink. Leah counted down from 3 to 1 and they shot off. Jacob watched as Raven speed away from Embry and reached the other end before she was even anywhere close and she let out and happy cheer. Embry pulled out 5 dollars and handed it to her "you're better than me I bow down to you"

Jacob smiled and felt Raven's hand grab his and she gasped letting go "Oh my goodness Jacob you're burning up are you feeling ok?"

Jacob let out a laugh "yeah I'm fine, I'm just naturally warm you could say" Raven nodded and grabbed his hand again and he felt sparked fly through him and he couldn't felt but grin.

She yanked on his arm and began to skate building up speed and turned the corner letting him go. Jacob eyes widen and he was launched forward he let out a yelp as he fell backward skidding across the ice on his butt. Raven laughter filled the air as she laughed at him and she managed to fall down and slid backwards laughing so hard. The other laughed as well and Jacob stood up and made his way to Raven "Oh you'll pay for that!" he laughed. Raven got up and tried to skate away laughing "if you can catch me"

Jacob caught her by the waist and spun her around laughing
