"Sure, I don't mind" she smiled, following Viola as if she was on slow motion. That way she wouldn't fall too soon. But there was that excitement, that she could finally skate... looking funny or not, so she kind of sped up a bit. When she was finally getting closer to Viola, she wanted to stop, but...
She fell.
"Hmph," she mumbled, still sitting on the ice. Yes, she was pouting. And yes, her feet hurt a bit, but Helena was sooo mad! She kind of forgot to complain about the pain. She wanted to complain about her feet, refusing to cooperate and skate properly.
Viola smiled as she started skating around the lake slowly. Her knees stopped trembling, at last.
"Okay." Viola said, slowly coming to a stop near the centre the lake and carefully turning around to face Helena. Ouch! Helena fell again. That really must have hurt.
"Are you alright?", Viola asked, concerned and also trying not to smile. She started skating towards the fallen Helena. Helena seemed mad. Well, who wouldn't be? Especially, after falling down twice.

One of those girls was his sister. He felt himself begin to move faster and faster, but he didn't really mind it. Christopher was just so shy. He wondered how other people made friends so easily. It was just driving him crazy! He stopped near the edge of the ice to grab some hot cocoa. Maybe a friend would come along! But it was more likely that he would have to get up the nerve to just talk to people.
Viola noticed a boy, who didn't look much older than her, skating around the lake. He really did skate well. In fact, he seemed like a pro.
"You skate very well." Viola said or nearly shouted, since he was standing now, near the edge of the ice, a long way away from them. Helena and herself, that is.
