The tale of the shadow phoenixes

Chapter twenty two. (I accidentally labeled chapter twenty one chapter twenty two)

“So are you going to the ice skating thing tonight?” Cole asked James. They were in their treehouse. He was slouched on the couch with his muddy boots hanging off the side of the couch. James looked up from his book. “Huh? The ice skating? What? Oh, no every time I skate on ice I fall through the ice.” James said. “Fall-through the ice?” Cole inquired. “Don’t ask me. Ask Tom, he loves telling that story, he’ll tell you ALL about it. And Leah and Tom are going together.” James said. “Oh.” Cole said. Cole sighed. “Are you going?” James asked. Cole shook his head. “No-i mean…yes. Arianna said she couldn’t so when I was walking home…Toe crusher Tabitha tricked me to go with her.” Cole said. James eyes widened with humor and he laughed. “Good luck to you then.”

While the ice skating was going on Arianna and James met up at the musician’s house.

“So basically what you do to get over your nervousness is to…either realize that it doesn’t matter what everyone else thinks or…you can just imagine everyone as cantaloupes or something.” James said. Arianna suppressed a smile. “You seem to have done this a lot.” James grinned. “Yes, yes I have.”

Next chapter coming soon! Cya! #FF4L. 😊
