ON WITH THE STORY!!!
——
"Come on," Dave guided me inside the building, away from the rink, "Some people are going to want to interview you about the short program and your free skate. I'm sure they're waiting."
As soon as we made our way into the waiting area, two men approached with a camera and microphone.
"Amazing short program, John. How do you feel about your score?"
"My score? Oh, I-"
"We're happy with the score," Dave said, "But positive that he'll get an even better one with the free skate."
"Right, speaking of which, how do you feel looking ahead to the free skate?"
"Well, I'm hoping that I'll be able to-"
"John's focus will be on flawless execution tomorrow!" Dave smiled, interrupting me.
Wow, thanks for letting me have an interview.
Yeah, instead of being interviewed, I just stood there while Dave answered all of the questions. What the hell am I even doing? I look stupid not saying anything!
"JOHN! D-Did you see my performance!?" Mituna's voice dropped in again. I turned and saw him walking in.
"Oh, I was busy being interviewed, so I missed it. Sorry."
His face looked like he was watching his loved ones being melted alive. He walked up to me, unzipping his jacket, "Eeeeeeeeh," He cried, "I-I even had my outfit specially made after one of your programs!" He took off his jacket.
"A-Ah, a-a costume from my shameful p-past-"
"SHAMEFUL!? An amazing skater like you doesn't have a shameful past! When you make fun of yourself you're also making fun of me for looking up to you all this time!"
Someone help! I glanced at Dave, but he made no intention of stepping in.
Mituna pointed, "I'm going all out with my free skate! If you're the Egbert I know, then so will you! I-If you decide t-to slack off, I-I WON'T FORGIVE YOU!!"
I remember now, this kid finished ahead of me last year. He won after I self-destructed. Oh craaaaap!!!!!!!
- The Next Day -
"John, you're only doing one quad in your free skate."
"What?" I looked up at Dave from tying my skates, "Why? I'm supposed to do three."
"To lower the difficulty. I think we can both agree that three can be pretty tough, especially for you."
"But Dave-"
"No buts."
Only one quad? I don't want to go against him, but...
We'll just have to see how it goes...
An announcement sounded, "Ladies and gentlemen, this is the Senior Men's Free Skate Program, will all competitors please take to the ice for your warm up. You have six minutes, thank you."
I took the blade covers off of my skates and handed them to Dave when I saw Mituna trying to get my attention. I looked at him and he gave a smile, but I just made my way onto the ice. I need to focus on myself right now. That's what Dave said yesterday, right? I just need to focus.
I can't get distracted by anything.
For five minutes, I tried to relax, skating around the ice to compose myself.
"We will now be starting the Free Skate program! Will all competitors on the ice please exit."
When I got back to Dave, he didn't look amused. "John," He didn't look at me, "How do you expect to motivate yourself if you can't motivate someone who looks up to you?"
