The Socially Awkward Subscriber

Chapter 6

As I left the shop I called "See you later Mrs B." As soon as I stepped out onto the quiet street I was tackled by a small child "Oh!" I looked to see little Daisy grinning "hello,"

"Hi,"

"Daisy!" Ethan called as he skated towards us on his board "I told you not to run off!" he grinned as he came to a stop "Oh Willow fancy meeting you here," he grinned camera angled towards us

"Fancy meeting you here? Didn't we arrange this yesterday?"

Ethan grinned as Daisy pulled my hand "Will we you teach me how to ice skate too?" I knelt down

"Of course I will, but I think your brother wants to kill me on his skateboard,"

Daisy giggled "It's ok we can kiss your booboos better," then thought "Not Ethan though, cause he's a boy and you can't kiss boys," I laughed at the

"Tell that to my brother,"

Ethan laughed "So are you ready for this?" I looked up at him smiling

"Sure,"

"Really?" he blinked surprised

"Nope," I laughed "Come on Daisy," I straightened up and took her hand but she did once better and jumped into my arms. I hoisted her up onto my hip

"To the tube!" Ethan called and rolled along side us laughing."Who is your favourite Disney male character?" Ethan wondered

"Prince Eric," I answered without having to even think about it

"A little crush there?"

"He cared more about what a girl has to say than what she looks like," I shrugged

Daisy grinned holding onto my shoulder snugly "I like Prince Eric,"

As we reached the tube station Ethan picked up his board "Excited?" he wondered

"Petrified," I answered

"You can ice skate, so what is the difference?"

"Um, wheels, a flimsy piece of wood,"

"Flimsy piece of wood?" He looked offended "This is a quality piece of carved aerodynamic wood to maximise balance,"

I gave him a look and laughed "and somebody's in love with a piece of wood,"

He gave me an awkward look as the tube carted us off "You could say that," We arrived at our stop and Ethan lead up off the tube, "It's all about trust Willow,"

"I do trust you, just not my balance," Ethan grinned

"Trust in yourself and you trust the world,"

"Is that a Disney quote?" I grinned

"Wow way to ruin a moment Mouse," he snorted, I laughed and Daisy giggled when we reached the graffiti covered skate park that was thankfully deserted. Daisy struggled from my arms and ran to a ramp to play with her my little pony she had produced from her pocket "You ready for this?"

"No, but let's do this," I answered determined, Ethan set his camera on a ramp and put his board on the floor, he took both of my hands and I gripped them tightly. I took one step on the board and it slid from under me. Ethan caught me with a laugh

"I don't even know how that was possible,"

"Ok, I suck,"

"You're not giving up, come on," I stepped onto the board feeling wobbly as I did. Ethan pulled me along and I couldn't stop laughing

"I feel like a child!"

Ethan laughed placing one hand on my waist keeping a tight hold on my other hand "Push off with your foot," I did and he let go
