One week later
Planes are horrible, horrible places.
Think about it: being stuck in a small space with sick people coughing their lungs out, newborn babies crying and vomiting, and let's not forget that sickening smell coming from the restroom. Also my most treasured possessions — my skates — had to stay hidden in the baggage hold. They still were sharp blades attached to leather shoes, so very dangerous weapons. At least I had a nice seat. I had bugged my coach to have a seat by the window to see the outside world from up here. The view was impressive. Everything was so tiny; the biggest trees looked like brocolis.
Feeling myself getting bored, I started to scroll down my Instagram feed. I wanted to know which skaters would participate in the competition. The event was a qualification for the Grand Prix Final, so most of high level skaters would compete if they had been assigned to it. I smiled as I realized who was going to compete in the Senior category this year, Yuri Pliesetsky.
After all these years, the Junior category wasn't suitable anymore for the « Russian Punk ». Yuri was an astonishing skater and deserved a place in the Senior category. The jumps he could pull off were better than most Seniors. He was a « small Russian quad machine ».
I was a close friend of Yuri's. We had met at a figure skating training camp a couple of years ago and we often skated in the same competitions when I was a Junior.
I decided to take a selfie to send it to him. I was wearing a black airport mask.
Those are a part of a plane's fashion etiquette after all... Also it would help me not to get recognized when the plane would land. Even though I was only sixteen years old (almost seventeen), I was already considered a celebrity amongst figure skaters because of my insane triples, spins and elegance. Also I was cute.
I added a caption to the picture: "They took away my knife shoes, you shouldn't have stabbed that security guy last time Yuri". I'm sure he'd get the message.
I stifled a yawn and closed my eyes. It would take hours were before I'd arrive in Tokyo's biggest airport. A nap would help me to make the ride feel quicker.
I listened to my favorite song and fell asleep.

Can you guess the song ?
