Maudie POV

"Are you sure the ice is safe? "Ezra asked.

"Yep, my dad inspected it this morning." I said. "He's really good with these things." 

"Not surprised." Ezra replied.

"Well, let's get our ice skates on so we can start." I said.

I sat down on the snow and started putting my ice skates on.

Ezra followed along and did the same.

"Maudie, I have something to tell you before we start." Ezra said.

"What is it?" I asked, raising an eyebrow.

"I-i don't know how to skate." Ezra muttered, looking away.

I was stunned for a second.

"That's okay, Ezra." I said, reaching for his shoulder. "But then why did you agree to join me?"

"I kind of felt bad that no one wanted to join you." Ezra said. "Well except Ava but she's in the Philippines for the holidays."

I couldn't help but smile.

"That's very sweet of you." I said, rubbing his shoulder.

"No problem..." Ezra muttered.

"But don't worry, I'll teach you." I said.

I quickly finished tying up my skates and got on the ice.

"What?" Ezra asked.

"I'll teach you." I said, offering my hand to him.

Ezra smiled and finished tying up his skates.

He grabbed my hand, and I helped him up.

As soon as he was up, he started slipping and sliding on the ice.

I grabbed his shoulders to stabilize him.

"Woah there Ezra, lets learn how to stand on ice first." I said as I looked down to check the position of his feet.

"I'm sorry." Ezra said.

"Why are you apologizing?" I asked as I looked at him.

"Because I can't even do something as simple as standing." Ezra said.

"It's okay, I was as bad as you when I first started." I said.

"How old were you?" Ezra asked.

"5." I said.

"Knew it." Ezra said.

"It doesn't matter." I said. "Now, I want you to put all your weight on your instep and arch."

A/N I actually dont know if it works, fact check that at ur own risk :)

"I think I've done it." Ezra said 

"Okay good, now I'm going to let go." I said.

"Wait wha-" Ezra said.

Then I released Ezra and took a step back.

Ezra started flailing his arms around, trying to balance himself.

I reached my arms out, ready to catch him if he falls.

Then he stopped in a half squat with his hands in the air.

Slowly, he tried standing up normally.

He heaved a sigh of relief before turning to me.
