Chapter 27- Mixed feelings

JUNE'S BIRTHDAY IS COMING IN TWO DAYS WOOHOO

Sorry. I know that was weird. June's not even real she's just a product of my imagination ;_; but yeah June 14th :))) I'm going overseas (and also celebrating my first birthday overseas) in two weeks and i'm hella stoked goshhh. Although I'm going with one of my college besties which means that it's just gonna be a contest of who can be lazier than the other person. I'll be bringing my laptop along so updating should be as per normal though! :)

also thanks for chatting with me sometimes! I really enjoy talking to you guys :) I feel more energized and upbeat after talking to you guys sometimes and it helps me write better, so thanks! ^^ My comments box and inbox are always open :3

"Ready?"

"Yeah." I smiled, taking out my bag from the car boot. "I've been ready for a month, Coach. I'm itching to get on the ice."

"June!" Yuzuru and Javi jogged up to me in their skates with huge smiles on their faces. "Weren't you supposed to be back next week?"

" I couldn't wait, and Doc gave the green light so here I am." I chuckled, taking in a deep breath as I entered the centre. I missed this smell so much...I quickly put my bag down and took out my boots, taking off my shoes.

"Jesus. Look at you," Coach gave me a hopeless look as he chuckled. "Can't you wait for another ten minutes? I still have to brief you on things, you know."

"Just five minutes, Coach! Pleaaaase!" I pleaded, the sparkling ice calling me invitingly. "And the zamboni just paved it..."

Coach sighed loudly and waved his arm, rolling his eyes. "Five minutes, alright?"

I squealed and tied my laces at mach speed, carefully taking off my guards before I stepped onto the soft, delicate ice.

Ahhhh~ That soft crunch...My blades sliced through the freshly paved ice effortlessly, gaining speed within seconds. There it is...I lifted off my right leg and launched into a triple axel, landing without a single stumble.

"Hey, watch it! You just recovered, don't go jumping all over the place!" Coach nagged as Javi chuckled, skating over to me.

"You're still as reckless as ever."

I stuck out my tongue and glided off, closing my eyes as I let my feet take over. A smile crept onto my face as I felt myself getting faster, my legs spreading apart. There it is-

I quickly halted my arabasque and opened my eyes. A pair of arms were wrapped around me as I slowed down rapidly before we found ourselves sitting on the ice.

"C-careful..." Yuzuru blushed, letting go of me, moving away slightly. "You were going to crash into me."

"Sorry...I wasn't watching." I dipped my head in embarrassment, scratching the back of my head. "Did I hurt you?"

"No, I'm alright. Did you get injured? Is your arm okay now?"

"Mm, I'm fine...yeah." I mumbled nervously, quickly getting up. "I...uh...I'm going to Coach's office now. He's looking for me."

"M-Mm."

I stepped off the ice and put on my blade guards as I darted off to Coach's office, pretending not to hear Javi's whistle and Yuzuru's flustered groaning.

"T-That's a mean menu..." I broke a sweat as I read through the training menu that Coach had printed out.
