ICE QUEEN
“Watch out!” Todd calls, careening across the ice rink on a collision course
with my face. I brace for impact as he swerves, missing me by less than an
inch, then skates away.
Unsteady on his feet, he skids around a mitten-clad couple holding
hands, almost taking out a child and her fiberglass penguin before
purposefully ramming into Simon. Simon, who is much less confident on
skates, loses his footing. His legs slip out from under him and he tumbles
backward, but not before grabbing hold of Todd’s jacket collar.
The bros end up wrestling in a heap in the middle of the ice, neither
letting the other back to his feet. Around them tourists and families skate in
circles, trying to give the pair a wide berth.
I sigh and lean against the barrier, staring up at the too-brightly-lit
Christmas tree. I used to love coming to skate at Rockefeller in the lead-up
to the holidays, but this year it just seems kind of lame. The tree is way over
the top—it’s garish and unnecessarily large. The other skaters are
annoyingly chipper despite most of them fumbling about like baby deer
learning to walk. And it’s way too crowded.
I shiver and glance back at the phone in my hands. My shoulders drop.
Or maybe I’m just feeling bitter this year.
Because for the first time ever I actually want to do all those cheesy,
romantic things you see in holiday movies. And for the first time there’s a
person I could be doing all those things with—who I want to do all those
stupid things with.
But that person hasn’t sent me a single text since September.
I scroll through the countless messages I’ve sent Jasper, the occasional
unanswered phone call.
I promised myself I’d do anything to make Jasper see reason—go to the
moon and back, chase him to the ends of the world if I have to. But I don’t
know how I’m supposed to do that if he won’t even speak to me.
“If you don’t stop looking at that thing someone will mow you down,”
Katie says, effortlessly gliding toward me and coming to a perfect standstill.
Honestly, she could be an Olympic skater if she wanted; she has the
poise, the grace, and she isn’t afraid to take out the competition if need be.
I shrug and slide the phone back into my jeans before shoving my bonechilled hands into the pockets of my puffer.
Katie sidles up next to me and rests her head on my shoulder. “Still
nothing, huh?”
“Nada.”
She twists her feet and rotates her body so that she’s standing in front of
me.
“Don’t get depressed,” she says tugging on my elbows. “This isn’t over.
Operation GJA is far from complete.”
I scoff thinking back to the day Katie and I conceived Operation Get
Jasper’s Attention. It was the day after he and I kissed on the beach and he
told me he accepted me as his mate, but that we could never be together—
what a load of bull, right?
