“Sure bro, I’ll pick you up on Friday for Zumba!” Said Ruben. Little did I know that meeting Ruben would open doors to things that I have never seen before. Meeting him seven months ago at an Ice Skating Rink would change my life forever. Meeting him taught me both that I should branch out to meet new people, and that I should watch who I become friends with.
The day I went to the Ice Rink, was a chilly one. Cloudy, cold, and just enough to make your nose run. I had on a long black coat with a zip up hoodie and no hat, no gloves, and grey unnamed boots on. I walked past a big dome with clear see through glass and the inside was full of melted ice.

I nodded and in response said, “I’m sure you can do it.”
After that, they all rode off. The colder it became, the slower time seemed to move as if they were working together in unison. As soon as Ruben rode around and was struggling, his friends were there to help him out. My friend spotted Natalie helping him out and them smiling and talking, and once he saw that, he immediately cut our conversation short.
“I’m going to follow my sister,” stated Henry.
I followed closely after him, and soon found my way distracted and helping out Henry’s little siblings. Within the hour, we left the rink and went to Red Robins to eat. When Nathan, Henry and I entered the restaurant, we had to wait for everyone to show in order to be seated. No sooner than the three of us waited for the others, everyone else came rushing
