“I've actually given it a rating of perfect despite the fact that the entire place is kind of whacked. Everything off the rink is covered with blue carpet and smells like old socks and stale sweat masked with Pine-Sol. It also blasts eighties pop non-stop, and has headache-worthy seventies disco lights.But to me, it's become Cinderella's ballroom. I'm the girl crashing the party and dancing with the prince. This is total progress. Icing on the cake: Thanks to this date, I'd faced two other major... teen firsts besides roller skating tonight: 1. An 11PM curfew and, 2. My new interrogator-style parents.It's like the worried, do-whatever-you-want-sweetie-pie parents I used to have never existed. Tonight I'd been slapped with real live crankiness, a deadline and a long lecture about safety and making good choices before I'd left the house.Double progress. This second date with Gray has earned me a first class ticket on the normal train! But it's also come with an unexpected price. Because my parents are worried I might have a boyfriend, my perfect ‘give me privacy' set-up is now at an end.I knew this would happen eventually, but the third week into my contract with Gray seems way too soon for the prying to begin.MoreLess
