Chapter 12

"Whoo hoo!" Zac exulted, out on the rink.

"Well, Zac and Jas didn't waste time did they?" Taylor commented dryly.

Isaac grinned.

"Hey you, hurry up." He said to Libby.

"I'm not going out there." She replied stubbornly.

Deanna gave him a sympathetic look.

"We'll meetcha out there." Taylor told him.

"C'mon Libby."

"No."

On that she started to pull out her book. Isaac whipped it out of her hand and opened it up to a random page.

"Hey, give that back!"

" 'Oh John'." Isaac read in a high pitched voice. " 'I love you so much, but we just can't, not now. What about -"

"Shut up!" Libby grabbed her book back.

"How can you chicks read that trash?"

"It's not trash."

"I'm sure you think so. Now get those blades on girl."

Libby glared at him. Then a sly look grew on her face.

"Oh, admit it Ikey-poohs. You like her."

"Excuse me?"

"Deanna. You have a crush on Deanna. Don't deny it. I can tell by the way you look at her."

"This coming from someone who gets hot and horny from reading trashy romance novels. And don't you deny it, we could hear you panting this morning in between songs."

They glared at each other with menace flickering in their eyes. Suddenly, Isaac grinned.

"You can't skate." He realised. "Ha, that's what it is. You don't know how to skate."

"I do so. I just don't want to."

"Prove it then."

"I told you. I don't feel like it."

"C'mon." Isaac encouraged with a gleeful grin. "I'll teach you. It'll be fun."

Libby glowered at him. Then she sighed and started putting on the skates.

"Cowabunga!" Zac and Jasmine chorused, flying over the jump together.

Taylor, Deanna and Isaac laughed at them as they gave each other high fives.
