||Skates|| Carlos Olivera

You and your old friend Ashley went to the skating rink, and she was fully aware that you absolutely not able to skate, but you still agreed.

Already on the rink, you barely stood on the skates grabbed the sides, like a child, I absolutely do not know how to skate. Ashley was rolling next to you all the time, trying to grab your hands and drag you to ride, but you stubbornly grabbed the sides and didn’t move a step away.

There were few people at the rink: one company and a couple of single people. One of them rode back and forth, performing various tricks and attracting attention with how easily he did it. You got a little motivation and tried to roll back a little, but after a few seconds your legs got stuck and you fell.

That guy was just riding next to you and helped you get up, smiling.

«Wow, you’re clumsy. Can I help you? At least I can ride»

Ashley stood aside and watched, almost sneezing with delight. You were not satisfied at all and even outraged by his complacency.

«Leave it! I can handle it myself.» You push him away and grab the side back. He looks at you with misunderstanding and rushes past you, almost knocking you down. Ashley rolls up to you, standing next to you and looking with her base.

«Did you like it?»

«What? No! He’s so... smuggy...»

«This is our new one. I think Carlos. Half of the school is already in love with him.»

You just hummed at it and tried to ride like that for another hour before you left. The next day at the university, you walk down the corridor as if nothing had happened and accidentally crash into the same guy. He carefully holds your shoulders, looking at you with incomprehension.

«Oh, are you clumsy again? We see each other often. Maybe fate... hehe. Don’t be offended by yesterday, do you want to go to the skating rink today with me and your friend?»

You met him for the first time at the skating rink and found out that he was new. Now you stand opposite each other at school.
