In the middle of studying the screen of your phone lights up and you see your brother's best friend, Jake Virtanen, texting you. You roll your eyes and see what he has texted you.

From Virtanen 😏"Hey, Geek, how's studying goin'? Discovered something new already?"

With exasperated sigh, you unlock your phone and quickly text back: "Very funny, Virtanen. What do you want?"

From Virtanen 😏:"I am bored and your brother doesn't have time."

"Like you don't have other friends..."
From Virtanen 😏: "Nu-uh, distracting you while studying is much more interesting. ;)"
"Virtanen, I really don't have time."

From Virtanen 😏: "Go skating with me."

His message surprises you. Him and you never got along, so there was no surprise his invitation sounds really weird to you. You decide to ignore, after all, the boy is bored beyond believing and you are the first one to mess with. Ten minutes later, the screen of your phone lights up again as he sends you another message: "Hello? Are you dead? Why didn't you answer?"
"Because, Virtanen, I am busy."

From Virtanen 😏: "Oh, come on. You got scared of my text, admit it ;)."

Against your own will, you let out a loud snort and text back: "Scared? Of your message? Pleaseeee."

From Virtanen 😏: "Come on, go skating with me. On a pond."

"I don't think so. Goodbye now, Virtanen."

"Oh, Y/L/N, don't be so scared," he quickly responds and you can nearly see mischievous smile on his cheeks.

"Goddamn it, Virtanen! Fine, if that means you'll leave me alone to study."

From Virtanen 😏: "I promise I will!"

You smile at your phone and start studying again. Only then you remember you have one tiny problem. You never learnt to skate. Not that you didn't try, you were just not interested in trying, no matter your brother spent every spare second playing pond hockey with guys from the neighborhood. Some of them even grew up into professional players, including Jake Virtanen.

"When do you have time?" he texts you thirty minutes later and interrupts you again. You rub your forehead and answer: "Guess you won't stop...What about in fifteen minutes in front of your house?"

From Virtanen😏: "Sounds good to me. See ya in 15;)"

You push yourself away from the table and slowly make your way to your closet. It's sunny outside, but you know the weather can change in a second, plus it's pretty cold outside since it's winter. After careful thinking you decide to put on black leggings, long grey knitted sweater with a snowflake on it. From the lowest drawer, you pull out a black beanie with panda ears, a scarf and warm gloves.

"Mom, I am going out for a bit okay? I am taking a break!"

"Are you sure you can afford that? Your exams are close and your future depends on the results of those exams."
"Mom," you sigh and ruffle your hair "I know how important those exams are, but I have to take a break. My head's starting to hurt from all the information."

Your mother sighs from behind her office desk and spins on a chair to look at you. She pulls down her reading glasses and eyes you: "You take full responsibility in case of unsuccessful exams?"
"Yes, of course I do. Mom, I am old enough. Why don't you trust me I can make it?"
