How did we end up here

Chapter 3

He guys so this is chapter 3 i hope you'll like it and have fun reading! love you.

In the morning I came to the realization that the mark was uglier than bevor. It was really ugly and I didn't had no idea what I could do about it. I was contemplating if I should go to school or nor, because people will notice. I mean I can't just pretend it's not there. I thought about lying but what could I say? I tripped and fell onto my face. No one would believe that.

 

In the end I decided to not go to school today. Instead I decided to post a real quick post on Facebook where I knew all the middle-aged people are, that just for today I offered to walk their dog. I figured I could show up in a scarf covering half my face and just tell them I'm really cold.

 

I soon realized I had to go ice skating today in the morning and I also knew I couldn't make an excuse not to go because Olga doesn't take no for an answer, trust me I tried. There was no way I could hide this from her, I can't just wear a scarf to ice skate. I sighed as I packed my bag  and then went downstairs. I saw that my dad didn't even manage to go to bed last night cause he was still on the couch sleeping I tried to be really quiet and I went out the door to my bike.

 

The air was getting really chilly and soon I couldn't just wear a pullover and be warm. I knew I had to go thrift shopping soon. In a few minutes I was already parking my bike y the rink and quickly going inside to be warm.

 

I changed into my leggings and tight shirt and went to the ice. Olga was waiting for me.

 

"Okay good you're here. So first just di a few simple rounds to warm up then-", she stops mid-sentence and looks at me. "Oh my god Ayla what happened?", she said taking a closer look at my face. "Oh nothing really I just slipped on some water at work and really hit my face. But it looks wors than it is really.", I lied and smiled at her. "You really think I'll believe that? I'm not stupid you know.", she said looking at me with a grim face. "Olga its nothing, really. I just slipped. Now what were you saying. Just some simple rounds right?", I said changing the topic.

 

I was really tired because of yesterday and it showed in my performance and Olga yelled at me quite a few times but in the end I got the moves down pretty good I would say. In the end I was really having fun  and was just going over my routine as I heard the well-known laughter of the hockey team. I froze. I had forgotten that they are always here to and now I have a big blue spot on my face and no way to hide it. I didn't know what to do and I just hoped that no one would say anything about it. Hopefully they won't even realize it.

 

"Fellows, when are you finally done with jumping around on ice? I can't watch this all day!", i heard Zane yell. I swear every day is same with this guy I can't. I just gave him a death  glare and went on with my routine. "Holy shit. What the hell happened to your face?", Zane suddenly said stopping me dead in my track. I quickly tried to get it together again and just ignore the question cause I really can't deal with trying to explain to him how I fell. I just continued with my routine and finished up and skated over to Olga.

 

"Okay Ayla, so there is a competition in a month but the issue is the entry fee is 150 dollars but if you win it you'll get recognized and maybe even sponsored.", she told me. "What 150 dollars! You know I don't have that kind of money!", I was feeling so sad because the possibilities I could get from winning such a big competition. "Yes I figured and I looked into it and the thing is I know you only skate alone but if you sign up as a figure skating due the fee is only 50 dollars.", she explained to me. "What. So wait I mean even if I would do this how am I supposed to find a guy to skate with and who is willing to skate with me even though I have zero experience in duo skating?", the idea of doing something like this was so weird, I have never skied with anyone only alone. "Oh don't worry I know a guy who needs a new partner and I think you can learn to skate together with someone and I really think you could win this. Just think about it okay. Tomorrow I'll introduce you to Jake. He's the figure skating guy and he has been skating in a duo for forever but his last partner moved away so he's looking for a new one." I agreed to think about it and said goodbye to her and wanted to leave the rink already and just go home and relax.
