After it all (Countryhumans)

{Ukranada's POV}
I'm getting strange vibe about Antarland. It has been 4 months that he has been like this. Ever since I introduced myself. He would always address me first whenever I come to talk to him. I know, what's so bad about that? It's just him being nice. Nothing wrong with that! Yeah, but the thing is, lately I've been feeling as someone was staring at me from behind and it was always Antarland. I know he's not being secretive about it because when I caught him, he always smiles at me and wave. As a nice girl, I waved back with a smile.

I'm feeling as if he has a crush on me... No! No way! It has been only four months Ukranada! Four MONTHS! Not four YEARS! I shaked the thought of it and payed attention to the cool coach.

-Girls, I have exciting news! We're going to the... OLYMPICS!!!

I, like almost everyone, were shook. I was processing what she said. Everyone cheered at what the coach said and I was still processing.

-Wait! I spoke up and everyone turned to look at me. -But I'm not 18 yet! And I'm the captain so I have to be in the ring!

-How old are you? The coach asked and skated to me.

-17.

-When's your birthday?

-15th of January.

-Then it's perfect! The Olympics is at the 25th. You'll be 18 then! The coach said in a very happy tone.

Right! Why didn't I think about that! Of course I'm gonna be 18 before the Olympics. Silly me.

-So, what time and date should we be there? Asked a girl.

-Okay... Here's the drill. She started to explain that there will be 3 tryouts to be able to compete. The first, we will have to be more than the number 87. If not, we're out. Second, have to be at least number 20. And the last one, will be the top 10. She also explained that we will be staying in a hotel with the boys. But we will be separated. If we ended up in the top 10, we have to have a match with whoever they tell us too.

I of course, started to worry because I don't know if mom would let me. But then I remembered that dad will be there with me. My first instinct when she finished was to look at Estland. He was of course not as hyped as we were. The females never went to the Olympics so it was a really big deal. But the guys have done it twice. Bringing in the stadium the second place trophy and the gold trophy. We put those two in a case. The females can finally bring home a trophy like the boys did.

When we finished our practice, I, like always, went out the last. Normally Estland would wait for me at the same bench like everytime. But today, I didn't see him. Instead Antarland. I decided to just ask him the question so that I can get it off my chest.

-Hey Antarland. Can I ask you something?

-Sure, go ahead.

-Do you like me?

-I like you as a friend. Nothing more.

-Oh ooph. (sound of relief)

-Because I know that you belong to Estland and I don't wanna get beat up by him. He said and smirked at me which, I don't know why, made me red. Not the smirk, but what he said. I tried to fight back with words but I couldn't say anything. I just opened my mouth and air came out. I quickly closed it when I knew he won. I sighed and looked down. I took off my helmet. I didn't know why I couldn't fight back. Normally I would just fight back but, it was like I accepted the truth... Of what? That I like Estland? We're just only best friends. Nothing more! Right?

I was pulled back to reality when someone put his hand on my head. He ruffled it a bit and stopped and rest his hand on my head. I thought it was dad so I didn't react.

-You alright? A male deep voice but not as deep as dad whispered to my ear. I flinched and I looked over and saw Estland bending down. He motioned his eyes towards Antarland asking me if he was annoying me. I shook my head.

When we were small, Estland has always been protective with me. So he always motioned with his eyes to anyone who might annoy me. I either nod or shook my head. I often shook because I knew if I nodded, he would beat the crap out of the person. But when I lie, he will do it and harder and I always try to stop him.

We were in the same position and were whispering. We forgot that Antarland existed.

-Will you two get a room? He started which made my head snap to his direction which surprised him.

-What did you mean by that? I said trough my gritted teeth.

-You know what I mean! You two are flirting to each other without knowing it!

-We were flirting! We weren't talking dirty!

-Flirting doesn't always has to be dirty you know?

-What are you? The master of love?

-No, but I am the cupid! He chirped and got up and took his stuff and waved. I had my arms crossed and I was mumbling some bad words. Estland heard and ruffled my hair which made me lift my head to look at him.

-No cursing under your breath.

I looked at the exit and started to pack up my things and walk. And soon enough, Estland catched up and was walking next to me. Hands shoved in his pockets. We were walking quietly next to each other. My mind when to Antarland being a bully to the fact that we will be going to the Olympics. I started to jump on my toes. I was really hyped to finally see Estland play in a match.

{Author's note}
Yeah.. I think this story will be a short one.

Anyway~ How's your day~? Mine's terrible~ It's snowing where I'm living and because of that, my bully and his friend basically threw a snowball behind me and I ignore them and kept looking down.

My older brother almost beat the shit out of them. The bullies ran away when they saw him. I get it, he can use his fighting skill... I think I have the best brother
