Today is me and Gabe's final training session before the finals.
We've spent the last 3 weeks practicing our routine and making sure it's ready.

It's the end of practice, and me and Gabe are sitting next to each other taking off our skates.

"Are you doing anything now?" He asks me

"I'm taking off my skates" I say stating the obvious

"I meant what are you doing after we're done?" He says

"Nothing, why?" I say

"I was wondering if you wanted to come and learn how to dine?" He says

I let out a laugh "How to what?"

"For the ball, you have to know how to eat properly with like the correct utensils and stuff" he says

"It's like a knife, fork and spoon isn't it?" I ask

He laughs "it's a little more complicated than that. But if you're busy-" I interrupt him "sure I'd love too" I smile and he smiles back

We arrive at a lake, the moonlight is glistening on the water. I'm confused as to wear we are going. Until I see a little canopy with fairy lights "What is this?" I ask

"It's a dinner, with the utensils that you'll be using at the ball" he replies

We take a seat and suddenly a man in a suit comes out of no where. "Madam what can I get for you for starters?" He asks politely

I look at Gabe with a slight laugh, making a face that says 'seriously?'

"We'll both get the soup to start" Gabe says

The butler nods then walks away.

"You've got a butler?" I say as I watch him walk away

"Like I said my parents are pretty loaded" he says

After a while of eating a three course meal and learning how to 'eat properly' we decided it's time for me to head home. The ball and the final is tomorrow so I need to get a good nights sleep.

Once I get into my house I make my way upstairs and into bed, I close my eyes thinking of how my life could change tomorrow.
