—hey everyone!! ok so this chapter is gonna longgg bc I haven't posted in so long and I don't feel like doing individual chapters (I planned it that way) soo yea!-

______

I grab my skates and make my way to our table. Everyone was tying up their skates. I sit down and push my hair out of my face. It was the weekend and our group decided to go to the skating rink. I honestly wanted to go home since I had a geography essay due soon but I gave in. 

"Y/n? You alright?" I heard Michael ask. I turned to face him. 

"yea, i'm all good!" I smiled and switched to the next skate. I tied up the shoelaces quick and swift. 

"Alright" Michael looked at me, clearly not believing me. 

"I promise i'm fineee- just a bit out of it." I sighed and stood up. I knew how to skate since I used to come here often. Michael stood up and wobbled a little. His eyes widened and he comes to a halt.

...

I burst out laughing- the sight of him losing balance was hilarious!

"Oh shut up" Michael scoffed and he shuffled a bit.

"okay okay- cmon everyones in the rink already!" I took his hand and pulled him into the rink. I spotted a couple of my classmates skating around. Music echoed through the halls and lights glimmered everywhere.

"So- you come here often?" Michael looked around, surprisingly still on his feet.

"I used to- with Mason and what not" My eyes darted to Michaels face. He raised his eyebrows and sighed. 

"Where is lover boy anyways?" He smirked.

"lover boy?"

"yeaa- well i've been clearly replaced soo" Michael shrugged.

"Oh cmon-" I rolled my eyes. I shook my head. There was a slight silence between us before Michael spoke again.

"Alright, we came here to skate- so cmon" Michael started moving towards me and he barely could even make it. I laughed and he shot me a look.

"Okay well first of all- don't look at your feet- it'll just make you fall."  I took both of his hands. They left warm in my own. I slowly moved, dragging him along.

"seee~ it's easy" I smiled. 

"Yea nono- i've got it" Michael says confidently, nodding.

"Ah- alright" I let go of our hands and Michael yelps. 

"Y/N GOD DAMMIT COME BACK" Michael yells, panicking,

"OKAY OKAY- HAHAH" I laughed and took his hands once more. 

"I've got you don't worry" I reassured him, laughing.

"Don't bloody do that!" Michael yelled.

"Alright!" I laughed slightly. 

"Mmm.. how abouttt- how about we skate together- so I'm not in front of you?" I asked.

"NO" Michael screamed at my question.

"It'll be fine!" I slowly let go of one hand and Michael yelped.

"NONO- you're fine just keep going moving-!" I moved next to him and continued moving alongside him. 

"Am- am I doing it?" Michael raised his eyebrows.

"Yep! You're doing it!" I laughed. The music continued and we caught up with Kasy and the others. We talked and stayed put for a bit. I didn't pay much attention to anyone around but Michael was looking away from the group. I followed his glare to another group of people.

It was-

Mason?

and..

KATRINA??

Michael squinted and took a large breath in. I knew something was making him uncomfortable. Maybe it was Mason- 

Hope it's not Katrina.

"Hey- uh guys- i'll be right back-" I quickly depart. They all nodded and I made my way to the Dj.

"Hey Jenny!" I come up to the counter.

"Yo Y/n, it's been a while" Jenny peered from the counter. Jenny is basically the Dj of this place, she kinda owns the rink. 

"Think you could change the music?" I asked.

"What's wrong with Katy Perry?" Jenny raised her eyebrows.

"Oh nothinnn- just- think everyone wants sum different." I shrugged.

"Everyone?? or that guy?" Jenny smirked, pointing at Michael.

"Oh shut up- we're just friends!" I scoffed.

"Alright. What song?" Jenny looked at her music. I thought about all the times that Michael listened to music. 

-FLASHBACK 😻-

I hop on the bus and see Michael with his headphones on.

"Heyaa" I sit next to him.

"Oh- hey Y/n" Michael took his headphones out and smiled.

"You slept alright?" Michael turned his music off and turned to me.

"Yep! you?" I asked back.

"Ah yea I slept okay" Michael answered.

"So- what were you listening to?" I raised my eyebrows.

"Nothing" Michael looked out the window, clearly embarrassed about sharing his music taste.

"I bet it was the Weeknd" I laughed, putting my bag down. Michael looked at me, eyes wide.

"How did-?" He squinted.

"Lucky guess. Plus, all the decent guys listened to the Weeknd." I shrugged.

"You think i'm decent?" Michael scoffed.

"Y/n, I'm more than decent thank you" He smirked and looked out the window. I laughed and shook my head. 

"Sure Mike, sure" 

-END OF FLASHBACK-

I sigh. Michaels changed to be honest. He isn't the funny and flirtatious guy I knew anymore. 

"Okay uh.. how about the Weeknd?" I asked Jenny.

"Not bad, what song?" Jenny got ready for my suggestion. I bit my lip and tried to remember what he was listening to. It was the Weeknd but what..song..

I scrunched my nose. Jenny chuckled.

"Best guess is that he was listening to 'is there someone else'." Jenny smiled.

"Yea.. yea I think so.."  I nodded. I wasn't sure but- let's give it a shot?

"Sure" Jenny stopped the song that was playing and picked up the mic.

"Alright skaters! this ones for the lovers! Enjoy The Weeknd and his tribute to all of you sweethearts!" Jenny yelled and the crowd cheered. She turned on the song. The song filled the rink and everyone began skating. The aesthetics of the entire place matched the song so well.

Who knew? Michaels music taste matches a skating rink?

"Thanks Jenny!" I called and skated back.

"No problemm- 

oi wait!" 

I turned around. 

"Tell him" Jenny winked and I rolled my eyes. Tell him what? Tch. I moved through the crowd and reached my group again. 

"Heyoo- now cmon- we came here to skate not lounge around." I smiled and everyone nodded in agreement. They all partnered up and I took Michaels hand. Michaels face was in clear disbelief.

"How did you know I was listening to-?" 

I cut him off.

"Againnn- lucky guess" I winked and Michael chuckled. 

"Y/n L/n, winking?- to meee?" Michael smiled. His spirits seem much more lifted.

"Yep!" I laughed and dragged him quickly to our group. I heard him yelp at the sudden pull.

"Y/n slowed down-!" He yelled.

"Yea yeaa-" I laughed and I caught up to the group. I slowed down and Michael looked behind us. I raised my eyebrows and I saw Mason and Katrina. I scrunched up my nose.

"Cmon, don't pay attention to them" 

Michael nodded and smiled.

"is there someone else or not?

'Cause I wanna keep you close

I don't wanna lose my spot"

Michael sang out loud and I chuckled. I joined in the singing. His song choices aren't that bad. I sang my heart out. Who cares what people think at this point? 

"I don't deserve someone loyal to me-

Don't you think I see?"

Michael vocalised. He- actually sounded nice! He seemed way more confident in his skating now. Picking his favourite song was clearly a good idea. The song quickly ended and another started playing after Jennys introduction. 

...

I knew that introduction.

It was a song by Taylor Swift.

Now- this whole place is filled with teens and whatever.. so it just be for them?

"For you, I would cross the line

I would waste my time"

Plus, it's a pretty popular song right now?

She did not.

"Don't blame me, love made me crazy!

If it doesn't, you ain't doin' it right

Lord, save me, my drug is my baby

I'll be usin' for the rest of my life"

I shot her a look as we passed her counter. Jenny stuck out her tongue. 

"And baby, for you, I would fall from grace

Just to touch your face"

This is so embarrassing- WHY WOULD SHE-

"Huh.. didn't know you're over Mason so quickly" Michael smirked. 

"NO- THIS- whole thing IT- i didn't choose it." I stumbled as I tried to keep my balance straight. I kept looked at my feet. Michael shook his head, laughing as the chorus came around again. 

"Calm downn- " Michael dragged me a little further from the twisting crowd and to the middle. I yelped at the sudden pull.

"Relax, don't look at your feet, you'll keep falling" Michael smiled.

"You did not just say that" I laughed.

"Yes I did" 

That feeling- I didn't forget it. It was familiar. A sort of fluttering in my stomach. So cliche, yet.. special?

"Lord, save me, my drug is my baby

I'll be usin' for the rest of my life"

I sang out loud and Michael joined in. The song continued and we sang out loud. No one could hear us anyways so we just sang our hearts out. We stayed spinning in the middle. 

"I get so high, oh!

Every time you're, every time you're lovin' me!"

The song ended and the next continued. I huffed out exhausted. Michael chuckled and we decided to get something to drink. We left the rink and went to the counter.

"Hey, uh two cherry please?" I asked the worker. He nods and gets the drinks ready. 

"You know, you're a quick learner-" I manage to say, exhaling a deep breath. 

"Well, I need to at least  try to impress someone" Michael payed and took the drinks.

"Oh- thank youu- I was gonna pay-" I held the cold drinks in my hands. 

"You? pay? while i'm here? never happening" Michael smiled. I chuckled and gave him his drink.  We knocked our drinks together in cheers and took a sip. I felt so much better. We talked for a bit and laughed. I looked at the rink and saw someone coming near. That hair seemed.. familiar.

"Stay here, I need to drink water." Michael cleared his throat and walked off.

"Uh- okay." I shrugged. We just drank a slushy? I looked at the direction he walked off. He turned around and mouthed "be right back'.

"Hey Y/n! Fancy seeing you here" 

I inhaled sharply and turned.

"Hello Mason" I smiled slightly.

"And Katrina. I didn't know you came here" 

"Oh yea, I don't know, it seemed fun" Katrina glared, smiling. I nodded. She looked- flawless. I'm sure she was skating for about an hour. She looked like she didn't even break a sweat. 

"Katri, stay here, I'll be right back" Mason nodded and walked to the counter behind me. Katrina nodded and looked at me. 

"So. Skating with Michael?" Katrina scoffed.

"Yea, got a problem.. Katri?"I squinted.

"Nope."

She leaned in and whispered.

"But watch out." She smiled. I smelt her clearly expensive perfume. I pushed her slowly.

"Oh I will, don't worry about me. Maybe.. I don't know.. quit being soooo nosy? get over it Katri, he isn't interested." I smiled. Mason came back, but with nothing in his hands.

"They don't have grape, are you kidding me?" Mason groaned.

"Oh don't worry- I know a better spot anyways." Katrina smiled at him then me.

"Anyways, see you round Y/n" Katrina waved and they walked away.

"Yea sure." I scoffed. God what a brat! She's worse than that one bloody mosquito in the middle of the night.

I heard footsteps and turned to see Michael. 

"Took you long enough for water." I raised my eyebrows.

"Oh yea nah don't worry." He chuckled. 

"So was it just water or??" 

"Y/n don't push it" Michael shook his head.

"No I wanna know.. did you hide from Mason?" I smirked.

"Mason? he was here? anyways, nah I just went for water and answered mothers panicked calls." 

"Oh-shes worried huh" I smiled. 

"Yea yeaa- cmon, we aren't going home just yet" Michael held out his hand.

"Do we need to hold hands the entire time?" I groaned. I didn't really mind though.

"Well duh- don't want me falling" Michael smiled and I took his hand. We went into the rink and joined the moving crowd. Songs filled the room, some new some older. All familiar. 

We soon joined our group once again. Mark fell before, you could tell from the bruise on his knee. Apparently, Kasy and Mark fell on top of each other. Shame I didn't see it. While we were standing near each other I saw Mason come near us.

"Oh hey Mason" Kasy greeted him.

"Hey Kasy." He smiled. He turned to me and chuckled.

"Cmon Y/n, lets skate together" Mason smiled at me and I raised my eyebrows.

"Oh?- wheres Katrina?" I looked around. 

"Right here-!" Katrina came from out of nowhere.

"Uh- okay- but- no thanks Mason. I skated loads today." I smiled and crossed my hands. 

"Oh cmon Y/n! Have some funn" Mason smiled.

"Mason- I did have funn!" I whined in the same tone as him. Mason took a small tiny step forward. I smiled weakly and moved slightly back. 

"Mason I don't feel like it." I squinted.

"Nah you do" He grabbed one of my arms and pulled me. I yelled and nearly lost balance. 

"Relax! Cmon, let's just chill" Mason took my other hand and I looked at Michaels direction. His face was confused. I shook my head and felt Masons hand move my head to his direction. 

"Don't mind him! I'm here aren't I?" Mason winked and he pulled me further from the group. The last glance I saw of them was Katrina. 

"Oh that bitc-" i swore under my breath. I felt another pull before i could finish my sentence. Mason was facing me.

"What is up with you?" I squinted.

"Nothing, just missed you loads butterfly" Mason chuckled. No, he didn't miss me. Somethings wrong. He wasn't this weird before Friday. I tried to let go from one of his hands but he had my hand tight in his own.  

No, he's acting weird and it's putting me off edge. The hell is wrong with him?

"Sure." I squinted.

"Sure?" He replied.

"What is up with you? Did Katrina poison you or something? You weren't like this before!" I yelled. 

"No, I'm just annoyed at the fact that you're so close to Michael. Did you forget about me?" Mason sighed.

"...what? no somethings wrong. It's not Michael." I scoffed. I held the pepper spray tightly in my hands. 

".. she told you to not talk to him." Mason shook his head.

"and she  told you to watch out." Mason squinted.

"What..?" 

Mason pulled me away from the crowd and we were halfway from the rink before I looked behind him. It was-

ANDREW?? 

Holy shit. 

shit shit no. 

I tried to pull away from Mason. No, this won't happen. I quickly pulled my hand away and grabbed the the pepper spray in the pocket of my skirt.

I took it out and got ready to spray his pathetic eyes, but before I could Michael came up and pushed Mason to the ground. 

"Y/n GO-" Michael yelled, looking at me. I couldn't move. 

 Mason got up, catching Michael off guard. He runs off like a true coward. 

"Oh god-" I exhaled. I put my hand to my head, in disbelief. What on earth is happening?! Why is Mason crazy? Who was that 'she'?!

Michael put his hands on my shoulders, checking if i'm okay.

"You alright? did that freak hurt you??" Michael exhaled.

"Cmon Y/n answer me-" 

"Yea no i'm fine." I exhaled. I looked behind Michael. No how did he know where I am? How did Andrew-

"Cmon Y/n.. I'll take you home.." Michael put his arm around me and took my back to the group.

"Yea okay-" I looked around, everyone stared at the both us. I didn't care about the attention.. but where is he?!

"Shows over" Michael scoffed, glaring back. 

A/n
