"Are you sure about this?"
"Yes, I'm sure just trust me."
I sighed and shook my head. I steeped onto the ice-rink, and I immediately felt my feet slipping from under the ice. I shivered from the violent cold air that surrounded me. Then Tony zooms pass me, shaking with perfect balance.
"Hey, no fair!" I called out with a huff. He turns around with a smirk. "I'm sorry. At least I'm finally better than you at something." Then he skates away laughing. I gasped at his audacity.
I'm so glad I'll be able to pick our activities next time.' I thought with a sigh.
I hated this date. And I felt guilty about it. Everything was cold bitterly and freezing. I held onto the railing on the ice rink, shivering. I looked out at him, skating and having a good time. I felt bad for not enjoying myself but I absolutely hated being in unnecessary cold weather.
I called out to him.
"Toni, I don't think I like this."
He skated up to me with a gleam in his eyes. "How could you NOT love ice skating?" Then he noticed the continuous shivering. "Oh, your not used to the cold at yet, aren't you?" I shook my head, unable to move my jaw. "Well, let's go. We can go chill outside and get some hot cocoa or something."
I nodded with a smile. "Yeah that would be great."
So we left the rink and went out to the hall to buy a cup of cocoa with marshmallow.

At 10:46 Toni pulled up outside my gate entrance to my house.

"Tonight was.. Interesting." He chuckled awkwardly. I flushed a little. "Yeah, it was." I chuckled. "I'm sorry I didn't had such a good time at the rink. " He shrugged with a smile. "It's okay, don't apologize, I completely understand. "
smiled. "Really? Glad to see that you do." I gathered up my stuff. "So I'll see you tomorrow?"
He looks confused. "Tomorrow?"
Yeah, you're coming over for dinner, remember?" I got out the car and closed the door. His face lights up with realization. "Oh right, yeah. I'll see you tomorrow. Take care." Stepping over to the gate I waved him goodbye. "You too, goodnight." I called out, and he started his engine and drove off.

"Freddie, can I talk to you for a sec?"
I looked up from my laptop to see Evan standing in my door way. His facial expression looked unusually serious, and before I could answer he walked himself into my room and sat down at my desk. He suddenly whips out his phone and hands it to me.
"Do you know her? Or at least does she goes to your school?"
I looked at the phone and there was a picture of a man, and a girl on the screen who looked a lot like Hailey and her dad who I saw at the grocery the other day. "Yeah. That's Hailey Robinson." I resumsed working on my laptop. "She started school here a few weeks ago. I heard she from- wait a minute," I looked at him. "Why are you interested in her?" He took his phone back. "Because Hailey happens to be the daughter of Patrick Robinson one of the world's biggest antique 'collector'," He says. "Or at least to us he's the antique thief we've been trying to catch for ages now."
My jaw dropped at this sudden new piece of information. How could that even be?
"Evan, that's crazy. She's probably a doppelganger-"
"There's no other explanation. Besides, I already have all of her information, so I know I'm not mistaken." He interrupted. Then he turns to me. "I have a job for you I -"
Excuse me," I stopped him. "I already have 2 important jobs I need to work on. So your on you're own buddy." He grinned and folded his arms. "Too late. I need someone who's close to her. And since she goes to your school and she's besties with your boyfriend. So why not." He shrugged. "All I need you to do is watch her closely and pick up anything you find suspicious."
I fold my arms. "So you want me to be a spy?"
"Yes, very much so. Besides this is part of your Training. So buck up."
I rounded on him. "My what!? Who said I wanted to be a part of the team?" He rolled his eyes. "Nobody, duh. But you have to or else Riley's gonna tear my face off if I keep giving you free passes."
I sighed and closed my laptop. "Fine. Now what is you you want me to do."
