-reader's pov-

the surfer boy pizza van sped up into the parking lot of rink-o-mania, which was packed full of cars. the sun shone brightly in the blue californian sky, beaming all of it's rays onto the land below. mike opened the van's door and out he jumped, aiding will as he got out too. the two boys were followed by el and I, who also helped eachother exit. before the two couples walked into the building, holding hands and as happy as could be.

"bye guys!" I heard jonathan call out, we all spun around slightly and gave him a wave.

the second that I entered the building, the song, 'you spin me right round' blasted into my eardrums. colourful, vibrant lights illuminated the large room as people spun and skated around the rink. the sound of laughter and yelps echoed around, mixing in with the music.

"have fun." the worker smiled as she handed us our skates.

"-thanks." we all beamed before picking the shoes up and heading over to a bench.

"bitchin' right?" el said, from beside me.

"-totally." I smiled whilst gazing around the room, absorbing the sights yet again, "you come here a lot?"

"-yeah.

"-no."

my eyebrows creased in confusion as I looked down at the two siblings. one had agreed and one had disagreed and I had no clue who to believe.

"will does not, but I go to parties here." el informed after she shared a warning glance with will.

"-no- what?" will interrupted but el ignored him and continued.

"it's a big party place." she grinned as she rested a hand upon my shoulder and directed me to the right place.

we took our seats on the bench and began to sort our shoes out until will noticed that mike was wearing sandals, meaning he had no socks on.

"oh, mike, you're gonna need socks." will told him, "they're over there." he then proceeded to point to the desk.

"oh, thanks." he smiled a toothy grin at will, causing him to blush before mike got up and headed over to the counter.

"told him his outfit was stupid." I shrugged playfully and el chuckled from her seat next to me.

"I think it looks cute- cool." will said, his eyes fixed on mike from afar.

"yeah, yeah, we get it loverboy." I joked as I tied the last knot on my skate before resting my head upon el's shoulder.

a deep crimson blush flared on her cheeks as she placed her head on top of mine, she was just finishing up with her laces too.

"oh my god, look, gay people." mike fake gasped as he approached the bench again, with a pair of ugly green socks in his hands.

"oh my god, look, ugly ass socks." I sassed back.

"shut up, n/n." he playfully replied, "vomit green socks are the best."

"whatever." I rolled my eyes before grabbing el's hand and pulling her up.
the four of us all then headed over to the rink, holding hands with our lovers.

my grip on el's hand tightened even more as I began to wobble about, I'd never been skating before.

"okay, here's a disclaimer." mike announced, "y/n and I have never been skating before so prepare to be embarrassed by us."
