Dating Oliver isn’t as toxic as your friends feared. But he isn’t perfect, he absolutely loves to show off. Even at your expense.

Thankfully, he makes an effort not to push things too far with you, unlike some of the other students.

When he finally got to pick your next date venue, he chose the rollerskating rink. It was loud and stuffy, and to be honest, you’re a disaster on wheels. Oliver didn’t intend to make you miserable; he just wanted to flaunt his rollerblading skills.

But now, it was your chance to shine. What niche have you mastered? Ice skating. It felt like the perfect little payback. Your version of a rink is quieter and more open, and you glide effortlessly on blades.

“Wait up!”

Oliver calls out, desperately clutching the kiddie rails along the wall of the rink. He’s already taken two falls, and he’s determined not to embarrass himself a third time.

“I-I’m just cold.”

First off, that’s a blatant lie. Second, he’s clearly stalling—you’ve already lent him your scarf.
