I've never been roller skating, it's never been an interest of mine so I've never tried it before. I think it'd be fun to at least attempt it!
I open my eyes and look around, where am I? Lifting up my head I notice the bathroom door is cracked with an inch of light shining on the walls.
I turn around and flip the covers off, slowly walking over to the door, before I can touch it it swings open.
"Oh, good morning!" Emily smiles
I put my hand on my heart
"Oh my.. I'm sorry, I forgot I'm living with you now.." I roll my eyes
"Yeah it takes some getting used too." she shrugs before walking past me and sitting on her bed. I admire the outfit set out beside her.
"What are you gonna wear?" she asks noticing my attention
"Oh, I'm not sure yet. Who's coming?" I question
"Me, you, Chandler-"
"Chandler?" I interrupt
"Yeah, and I think Danai and Lauren.." she smiles, not understanding I emphasized Chandler's name.
"Okay." I play along, why is Chandler going? I thought it was just the girls.
"So are we picking them up?" I ask
"What? oh no, their our neighbors." she smiles, neighbors? I speak aloud
"Yeah, we all live on the top level, it's secret so nobody stalks our doors so we use fake sign in names." she answers me
"Hmh." I shrug
"Who else stays here?" I ask again
"Well everyone except Chandler, he lives around here, Norman actually owns a small house in the area and Andrew aswell. All the others live on the 13th level of this beautiful hotel!" she throws her hands up
"Interesting." I begin to get ready
***
We all pile into the car, I decided to wear blue skinny jeans and a sweater that says 'sweater weather' on it.
I braided my hair last night after I showered so it's wavy, I pull the front back so it isn't in my face.
The roller skating place is about 15 minutes away from here and we have to pick Chandler up at his house.
I put my hands in between my legs as I bite my lip and bounce my legs lightly.
I'm nervous, Chandler and I are the only younger ones on set, other than Emily Kinney but she is 28...actually a year younger than Steven Yeun.
So technically she isn't the youngest. It's hard because I'm a girl, I'm Chandlers age, and I'm his love interest on the show. I wouldn't be surprised if anyone has joked with Chandler about 'dating me'.
That thought makes me sick. I've never had anyone like me before! what am I saying!? I don't know if he likes me, now that makes me sad... do I like him or not!?
My thoughts get interrupted when I see Chandler walk out of his house.
"Hey everyone!" he waves taking a seat beside me and closing the door, I try to squirm alittle but don't wanna make it known I don't wanna sit so close to him.
We begin to drive, I shoot my eyes over trying not to turn my head. his long; perfect hair- what. am. I. saying. I don't like him!
I sigh.
The rest of the time is super awkward, everyone else is talking other than Chandler and I, he looks out the window, I suck on my cheek and squint my eyes not knowing what to say or do.
I hate him so much, yet I want him to be mine... I'm not sure what I want but I'm NEVER going to 'date' him!
This is enough.
"Can you turn the music on please?" I ask the only thing I can get out of my awkwardly quiet mouth, I can tell Chandler wants to talk but he doesn't know what to say either, so he says nothing.
Finally the roller skating place is infront of us, well the indoor one.
We barely park before I unbuckle my belt and climb over Chandler and hop down onto parking lot. Everyone else gets out of the car, I feel Chandler bump me and I turn and glare at him.
"Sorry!" he apologizes and I look away.
We begin walking as I lag behind.
"You're awfully quiet... I know you're having troubles with Chandler, like him? don't like him? don't know what you think about him?" Emily asks obviously caring.
I shrug
"All of the above... I've just never had a boyfriend, I've never had any feelings for a boy so I don't know how it feels. And I don't want a boyfriend..."
"You don't have to have him as a boyfriend..." She replies but I quickly interrupt
"I know but I don't want him as a friend, I'm afraid I will grow feelings for him and like I said I don't want a boyfriend." I look down at the ground
"But how do you know that feeling won't change? You're to young to be falling in love and having relationships but that can change the more you mature! Chandler is an amazing kid, I've known him for awhile now and I know he feels the same way about relationships, just try to be friends with him?" she practically begs, I hate to admit it but she's right...
"I guess." I agree
"Yay! okay let's go." she grabs my arm and we walk into the building.
We meet everyone else at the skate rental area, music is blaring, the skating floor looks amazing with the black light making everyone's white on their clothes turn green and pink!
I can't help but smile.
I grab my skates and we all take a seat and put them on.
Danai, than Lauren, they both begin skating.
"Talk to him." Emily whispers before joining the girls, I sigh blowing a strand of hair out of my face.
I finish my skates and walk onto the floor, I fall back and land on my butt right away.
Emily rushes up to me laughing.
"You alright?" she giggles helping me to my feet,
"Yeah.. I've never done this before." I get on my feet, Emily grabs my hand
"I'll help you out." she laughs once more, I look around at everyone and do what they do, one foot before the other.
We skate for about 2 minutes and talk about random stuff.
Danai and Lauren begin talking to a few random people I assume are fans.
Lauren calls us over,
"You go, they don't know who I am yet." I dismiss her, quickly regretting it. Emily leaves me here so I literally put my hands out and my skates slow down. Before I know it, I'm just standing here not able to move.
I jump as a person rushes up behind me, Chandler comes into view, and skates by my side.
I clear my throat
"Hello Chandler." I say in a confident voice.
"Hello Alice." he mocks
I giggle- why am I giggling
I begin laughing, OMG I'm doing it, I laugh uncontrollably when I don't know what to say or if I'm put in an awkward position.. I am both right now.
I can't control my laughing now
"Woah!" I holler before tripping, a soft hand holds onto mine springing me back up before I hit the ground, I get pulled up so quickly I slip backwards and pull Chandler with me, I fall beside him.
"Oh my gosh are you okay?!" I ask sitting up
"Yeah I'm fine." he sits up, I giggle, he begins laughing and we both crack up, I will admit that was hilarious.
Emily skates up and stops in front of us laughing.
I pull my hand away from Chandler's trying to cover it up so Emily won't see.
"What happened here?" she holds her hands out pulling us both up.
I get to my feet and wipe my bum off
"Chandler made me fall." I lightly nudge him
"Did not!" he denies.
"Yes you did." I shoot back at him, Emily laughs and skates away leaving us bickering.
"Okay okay whatever. I need to take a rest, want something to eat?" he asks.
"No but I will get a drink." We both skate to the food court.
***
I get a hot cocoa and Chandler gets a water and we sit at a booth.
"What's your favorite candy?" he asks
"Hm, probably Starbursts." I smile
"Ooh, what flavor?" he squints
"Lemon."
"Really?" he seems shocked, I understand because everyone usually picks the pink one.
"What about you?" I ask
"Good question.. but I can't answer it cuz I have no idea." he admits
I laugh
"Okay... favorite food?"
"Ribs. No doubt about that one. You?"
"Hmmm, I like spaghetti." I giggle. he nods
Lauren skates up to us quickly
"We've gotta go. News got out we were here and it's like a meet and greet." She breaths heavy.
We both shoot up leaving our drinks, quickly skating to our shoes; not noticing I'm holding Chandlers hand.
I take a seat and take my skates off slipping my shoes back on. I stand up and wait for the others
"What happened?" I ask
"Word gets out quick here." Danai says putting her skates on the counter as the women takes our skates back.
We all leave as fast as possible as fans mob the car, police officers arrive and get them to step away.
We back up and Lauren drives away.
"Does this always happen?" I sit back
"Not normally." Emily shrugs
