				 THE RINK
			    -------------------

Hey everyone! My name is Max, and you may know me from my other stories.
But unlike my other stories, this one is true. Absolutely. Nothing is made
up - in this chapter anyways. This story takes place... right now!  It
first started last Friday night at the local skating rink. That is the
hangout on Friday nights here at South Carolina, from 7pm to 11pm. Well,
here is how it went down...


Chapter 1: Meeting

   Hi, my name is Max. I'm 14 and I hang out at the local skating rink on
Friday nights from 7 to 11. Last Friday (the 31st of May), I met this
really good looking guy, who looked to be about my age, but still had a
sexy childish voice. He was wearing a sleeveless jersey-like shirt with
matching blue pants, he had dark hair (I couldn't tell the exact color
because of the party lights), maybe blue eyes with a little case of
freckles. He was a little shorter than me (because he was BARELY taller
than me wearing his skates), and when I looked at him from the side, due to
his sleeveless shirt, I could tell he was built really good. He was just
SEXY!

    Anyways, I arrived at about 7:15pm with my 9 friends (all of them were
girls exept one) and we went in and sat down. My good friend, Sherial, had
to bring along her little brother, Jarvis. He was cute. In the 5th grade,
shorter than me, good smile and a natural body. He didn't get in the way at
all. In fact, he was kinda fun to be around.

Ok, back to the story. Me, Sherial and Jarvis walked around with 2 other
friends, when I noticed that guy I described earlier coming near me. I
almost fainted. I stared at him, noticing every detail. He stopped right in
front of me and Jarvis said;

"Who are you?"

He said his name, but I didn't hear it, because of the loud music. I was
too shy to ask him to repeat it. Him and Jarvis shook hands and the hott
guy said to Jarvis:

"I have a girlfriend already, and I'm about to get another one!"

'Damn', I thought, 'he's straight.' I noticed that he was looking at the
other girl I was walking around with. Her name was Karen. She was tying her
shoe, unaware of him watching. As he watched her, I watched him. I thought
it had to be a crime to be that hott! Anyways, before I could say anything
to him, Karen's boyfriend (the only other guy that came with us to the
rink, who's name is Ty <pronounced TIE>), noticed him staring. Ty pushed
the guy and made him glide backwards about 10 feet, due to him wearing
skates. I just watched.

"Oh boy, this is gonna be good!" Jarvis said. "Yeah," Sherial commented.

  The hott guy skated back towards Ty and pushed him. Ty began to swing at
the guy, but he was too fast for Ty. He easily dodged his punches and
knocked Ty down. that's when the staff people came over and kicked Ty out
for about 20 minutes for starting the fight, and told the hott guy, who
I'll call "HotBoy" for now, to stay away from him. HotBoy skated away.

  Me, Sherial and Jarvis started back walking, talking, goofing off and
singing along with the songs the DJ was playing for a while. When I was
sure nobody was watching, I looked up to see if I could find HotBoy, but no
luck. This girl who I've never seen before came by and asked Sherial if
Jarvis was related to her, and she said "Yeah." The girl laughed and said
"Oh no! You look nothing alike! Oh my god!" and Sherial said "Thanks for
the sympathy." We all laughed (exept for Jarvis, who didn't get the joke).
I was still laughing when I heard someone say:

"What's so funny?"

I turned around to see HotBoy, grinning and standing very close to me! He
was so close to me, I could smell him. Boy, did he smell good.

"Oh, something my friend said." I responded, trying to be cool. We were all
sitting by then and HotBoy extended his hand to me. I shook it. I think I
held onto his hand a little too long, so I tried to let go, but the funny
thing is, he was still holding mine. I could've went into a coma! He said:

"I'm gonna walk around with you guys for a while, since my friends never
showed up." I totally didn't mind. He was hanging around with me half the
time, other than the other people I was with. We talked and joked until he
resumed skating. But he popped back in with me and my friends a few more
times. I wished the night would've never ended.

				   -----

Unfortunately, it is storming around my way right now, so I'm gonna shut
this thing off. But that's basically what happened. When I go back this
Friday, and if he's there, I'll let you know what happens! Be on the
lookout for chapter 2!
