Chapter 4

Song: Move by Saint Motel

I couldn't get his smile out of my head as I laid on my bed staring at my white popcorn ceiling in the dim lighting, whenever I imagine him I get butterflies that are flying everywhere and colliding with my stomach, wanting to burst like fireworks. His bright smile with his pearl white teeth that are straight, sunset blue eyes mixed with shaved ice, there was so many different shades of blues in his eyes that I can't even describe, and his hair. Lord his hair! The perfect colour mixture of dark chocolate and natural highlights of cinnamon in there to, that was shaved on the side and long in the middle that was long enough to make a mini bun. 

I felt Kiko jump onto my stomach, causing me to snap out of dream land and stare at her, raising my eye brow as she glares at me, "what?" I asked my cat, she meows, nudging my hand asking for a pet. I sigh and start stroking her fur causing her to purr in response and fall asleep. Wish I could fall asleep that quickly. I figured I could reach for my laptop to watch Youtube, but I fail miserably and just decide to crawl into my covers and fell asleep.

"Zander, you with us?" Sam asked, as he nudge me.

"I think, I'm stressed," I said quickly back and straightened up.

"Wait. Zander Bradley is stressed out? Who are you?" Emily freaked out. It's true, I'm never stressed out, but after seeing a cute guy and those two guys watching me yesterday, it won't leave my head, meaning they were important to me in the future.

"Focus team, Zander you can check your regular patients while Jane and Sam are with me for surgery, as for Emily, you can choose who you want to be with," Dr. Smith said. 

Emily chose me and followed me around and had a smile every time I saw a guy.

"Are you gay?" Emily asked. Did she seriously ask me that?

"Why do you ask?" I replied, quietly and flustered.

"I see it on your face every time we're in a room with a cute guy," she replied. Well then...

I nodded and stayed quite, "don't worry I won't tell anyone," Emily said. Now I'm more stressed.

"Why am I doing this?" I questioned Tay, as I stared at a bath filled with ice chunks, crystal clear in the freezing water.

"When you get in I'll tell you," she said with a smirk. I shivered at that look.

"Also take off your shirt, leave your shorts on," she added, sitting on a chair.

You serious? This better be worth it. I did as I was told and stood by the rim of the tub, staring at the coldness, here goes nothing, I placed my hands on the rim and placed one foot in and felt the cold water hit my bare hairless legs and shivered.

"Hurray up already," Tay said, shoving my closer. I did as I was told finally sat down, I could't stop shivering and death glare Tay, my ocean eyes staring at her forest ones.

"Alright, so 3 months ago I emailed those 2 guys you saw yesterday with the clipboard saying you were super talented at figure skating and that you would represent Canada." She paused and looked down at her long fingers that were coloured black with a matte top coat, "after you went into the change room, they came up to me and said you," she stopped again and took a big breathe in, "you Zander Bradley are going to the Olympics and compete against other countries this Winter."

Was she serious? There's no way. Was there? 

My mind was clouded with the smallest, yet, biggest news an athlete would hear.

"Zen you there? Helloooo," Tay said, snapping her fingers in front of me. I blinked a few times and looked at her, and felt tears wanting to crawl out of my eyes.

"You're lying," I replied.

"No I'm not, take a look," she handed me a towel, "dry your hand, you're not aloud to get out yet and get this sheet wet," she said sternly. I grabbed my black towel and dried my left hand and got handed a sheet of paper.

'I, Jamie Sook and Ian Chan, would like to invite Zander Ky-James Bradley to the 2020 Winter Olympics to compete in the following events: Men's Figure skating and Free Style Skating.' Lord and behold, their signatures right their, taunting me, along with Taylor's on their? Wanting me to go and for her to coach me?! 

"Holy guacamolely, this has to be a typo-o, a huge mistake," I said still staring at the blue paper with instructions and behaviour on the other 10 pages.

"It's not darling," now I know she's serious if she calls me darling. "All you have to do is sign it saying you accept, going to Berlin, Germany to compete in the event, so that's why I've been pushing you harder, we have roughly now until we fly out, don't worry, everything is paid for," she added. 

"But that's only roughly 9 months to practice, I don't have enough time to get perfect," I exclaimed staring at her, now feeling my warm tears fall finally. She stood up and wiped my tears away with her warm hands, wishing for them to stay on my face longer for me to get warm. Next thing I know, I get slapped lightly.

"Have you not seen your self? Clearly not, but you have game Bradley, I will train you in the 9 month period to not be perfect, but talented to get you up on the stands," she said with anger in her voice. I nodded and laid my back against the tub, which was a mistake because of my bruised back and the shift of water.

"Just for that attitude, you are staying in there for another 10 minutes, also you are going to have to do this every end of practice," she said, with another smirk. How many smirks is that this week? I simply nodded and stared at the room and closed my eyes slightly, until I heard the door open, and saw the same team as yesterday, especially locking eyes with Colton, and heard the others giggle, are they teenage girls now?

"OUT!" I heard Tay shout.

"We need to change," a guy said. Tay sighed and tapped my shoulder telling me to get out, I drained the tub and stood up with water droplets falling off my body and wrapping a towel around my shoulder, I heard the team either hiss or gasp, probably seeing my bruise, I DON'T LIKE ATTENTION! I thought. Oh God, how am I going to perform in front of million of people without having a panic attack. I let that slide for now before grabbing my bag and following Tay out of the room. 

I actually can't believe I was going to Berlin for the Winter Olympics.
