I'm currently on a book date by myself because it is my favorite thing to do ever

I have already picked up 5 books from the romance section

my phone ringing pierces the quiet sound in the air

-coach answer or decline-

I click the answer button and bring my phone up to my ear

"Hey coach"

"Hey hon does practice at 6 work for today?"

I totally forgot I had practice

"Yea that works but I thought we were practicing at 4?"

"Something came up"

I clear my throat "okay see you then"

6:00

I walk into the rink and immediately feel the cold air

"Hey coach!"

"Hi darling hurry up and get changed"

5 minutes

I glide around the ice warming up to start my routine

"You have competition in 2 weeks Melody"

Like I already didn't know that

She plays my competition song "move your body by Sia"

I move my body left and right to the rhythm of the song

"TRIPLE LUTZ!" Coach yells from the other side of the rink

I do the triple lutz to early and fall straight on my butt

"AGAIN"

"Just one second" I say while struggling to get up

"NO NOW!"

I ignore coach and grab onto the side paneling of the rink to help me get up

I pick up momentum again

I land my second triple lutz and luckily coach was pleased

I catch my breathe as she saids her next demand

"Triple lutz-triple toe now"

I nod

I skate away from her and land my triple lutz-triple toe

"Good girl melody"

Coach claps her hands together

Before I know 2 hours have passed by and I could no longer feel my toes

"That's enough for today go home and get some rest"

"Okay thanks coach"

She nods "one more thing"

"What's up?" I ask

She motions towards my body

"Make sure to stay on that diet of yours"

I nod while running into the locker room

the tears already running down my face

............

I'm finally home

As soon as I got home I showered and crawled back in bed

I'm now scrolling through Instagram looking at Amy's story seeing she's at some frat party

I roll over onto my stomach falling asleep to the thoughts of a certain person
