Chapter 30

I locked the chain of my bicycle as it stood in between the racks. I slipped on my bag as I walked inside the club. I'm meeting the new guy today so I was nervous, almost shaking as I was walking near the door to the rink. I went inside and looked for the coaches. I noticed that they weren't there guiding the kids and it was just the other coaches that was helping the kids. I went upstairs and headed to my office. I opened door, meeting Tracy, Brian, Yuzuru, Mina and a stranger.

'Ah, That must be the new guy.'

I bowed towards them as Yuzuru and Mina did the same. Tracy walked towards me with a smile.

"Natsuna, meet Noah, your mentee!" She said gleefully.

The guys was around 5'10, brunette, hazelnut eyes, he looks like he worked out too.

'He looks...okay, I guess?'

I smiled at him, bowing. Before I could stand up properly, he took my hand and pecked it.

"Nice to meet you, my lady." He said, probably giving a smolder while at it.

I cringed but didn't want to be rude as I smiled at him. I took my hand away from his grasp and avoided his gaze, looking at Tracy.

"He'll be in your care. Teach him everything he needs to know and give him a tour while you're at it." She said, giving me a smile as she patted my back.

Brian smiled along with her as he also patted my back. The coaches left us four there as an awkward silence soon surrounded us. Mina came up to me with a bright smile plastered on her small face.

"Natsuna-san! Good morning!" She beamed.

I smiled back at the short girl.

"Good morning, Saikou-san." I pat her head.

She pouted and stomped her foot making me stand back with a shock on my face. She looked like she was about to throw a tantrum.

"Don't call me that! Call me Mina!" She whined as she clenched her fist.

"But you sai-" I got cut off by her whining.

I just shut my mouth and looked at her with bewilderment. I noticed Yuzuru and Noah looking at her as well, as if she's some baby.

'She kind of is, not going to lie...'

I sighed and shook my head. I smiled at her and nodded, understanding that she didn't want go be called by the given name.

"Understood, Mina-san." I said smiling at her.

She beamed and hugged me tightly, taking me off-guard. I chuckled and hugged her back. Noah cleared his throat, making us pull away from each other.

"My name is Noah, Noah Brooks. I'm 20 years old and I'm in my 2nd year of University. I skated for 10 years but stopped at the age of 13. I know a few tricks here and there but don't expect much..." He said laughing at the last sentence, making us chuckle.

I noticed that Yuzuru was not one bit impressed. He looked like he was bored, the same expression you see hi. if he's outside the rink. Somehow, he looked like he wanted to shove the guy and stomp on him. I'm probably just imagining it or being overdramatic but his energy seems quite off.

I shrugged and looked at Noah, letting him know he can continue. Noah smirked for some reason, making me look at him weirdly.

"Sorry, sorry. It's just that...I see some tension between you and Yuzuru. Were you guys a thing?" He asked, crossing his arms.

I was shocked, not uttering a word, scared that I'll say something unnecessary.

'How does he know?'
