   We got off the plane, and I smiled. I looked at Yuzuru. He was also smiling.

   "You're in a good mood," I said to him. He looked at me and smiled.

   "Yeah," he said. I looked away and saw Javier smirking at us. I rolled my eyes at him and stuck my tongue out at him. He laughed and rolled his eyes. I looked at Yuzuru. He was smiling.

   "Wow, you're in a really good mood today, huh?" I said to him. He looked at me and nodded. I raised my eyebrow.

   "Yeah," he said. I frowned a little.

   "Why?" I asked. I smiled even more and shook his head. My smile faltered, and I nodded. He looked at me and smiled.

   "Do you really want to know?" He asked. I nodded eagerly. He smirked.

   "Yes!" I said. He smirked even more.

   "Okay then. I'll give you a hint. Read my interview from Worlds. Then you might have an idea," he said. I raised my eyebrow. We got to the van and got in. It was the usual. Javier and Coach in the front, me and Yuzuru in the back. I took out my phone and searched up the interview. I found it, but I wanted to read it when I got home. I don't know why. Just a feeling.

   "Y/N, can we do something?" Yuzuru asked. I looked at him.

   "What? Jump out the window?" I asked playfully. He rolled his eyes.

   "No. Something like truth or dare," he said. I rolled my eyes. 

   "Then let's play truth or dare. It's not that hard," I said. He looked at me.

   "Okay then, truth or dare?" He asked me. I thought for a bit.

   "Truth," I said. He smiled. I immediately regretted it.

   "Do you like someone?" He asked. I froze.

   He didn't ask who. He just asked if I liked anyone, I thought. I looked at him and smiled a little.

   "Yes..." I said hesitantly. He nodded and smiled.

   "Is it someone I know?" He asked. I frowned. I took a deep breath in and nodded slowly. His smile disappeared for a little bit.

   "Your turn," I said, "truth or dare?" He thought for a bit.

   "Truth," he said. I rolled my eyes.

   "Copycat," I said, sticking my tongue out at him. He stuck his tongue out back at me. Javier looked at back at us and smirked. I rolled my eyes out at him.

   "Okay, what's the question?" Yuzuru said. I tapped my finger on my chin and thought.

   "Why were you so happy today?" I asked him. He sighed.

   "I already told you a hint," he said. I frowned and pouted. He ignored me. Let's just say our game ended there.

   When we got back to the rink, I remembered something.

   "Coach! My car!" I said to him. He looked at me and raised his eyebrow.

   "It's already here," he said. It was my turn to raise an eyebrow. I looked in the parking lot. My car was there. I frowned and looked at Yuzuru. He was still wearing his bandage. We went inside, and Yuzuru continued to practice. I sat down and took out my phone. The interview was there. I shrugged and decided to read it.

   Interviewer: "So Yuzuru, how does it feel to win a gold medal again?"

   Yuzuru: "It feels accomplishing. I also feel very proud of myself."

   Interviewer: "So, you did the Romeo and Juliet theme again, huh."

   Yuzuru: *laughs* "Yes. I felt like I needed to do it again. It has always been with me, you know?"

   Interviewer: *laughs* "Well, do you have a Juliet with you in your life?"

   Yuzuru: "Um, I guess so. I mean, yeah."

   I frowned a little when I read that. I shook my head and continued reading.

   Interviewer: "Oh, really? Does she skate?"

   Yuzuru: "Um, kind of? I mean, she doesn't exactly skate, but she's on the ice. She's a very hard worker."

   My heart sank and I put my phone down. I don't skate, and I'm almost never on the ice. Who could it be? I looked at the ice again and saw the zamboni coming out. The driver passed me, and she waved. I waved back.

   Could it be her? I thought. She's always on the ice, and she's very hard working. It must be her. My heart sank when she passed Yuzuru and waved to him. He smiled at her and waved back.

   "Good job!" She pretty much yelled. Yuzuru laughed and smiled.

   "Thank you!" He yelled back. I frowned and stood up, knocking down Pooh. I sighed and picked him up. I put him on the bench and stomped out to my car. I got in and drove home. When I got there, Nicole was already there, making lunch again. She waved at me, but I stomped to my room, slamming the door behind me.

   What's gotten into me? I thought. I laid down on my bed and closed my eyes.

   "Y/N? Are you okay?" Nicole asked. I opened my eyes.

   "Yup! I'm fine!" I said, trying to make my voice seem happier. She seemed to buy it.

   "O-okay then," she said. I heard her footsteps fading away. I sighed and sat up. I smiled and went out of my room. Nicole was on the couch.

   "I'm sorry. I just had a really bad day today," I said to her. She turned around and looked at me. She smiled and nodded.

   "It's okay! What happened?" She asked. I sat beside her and told her the whole thing. About Yuzuru hitting his head, Javier teasing me, and Yuzuru's interview. Also my theory about who he likes. Nicole listened patiently.

   "So, you don't really know if he likes the zombini driver?" She asked. I nodded.

   "Yeah, I don't really know, but the evidence is there! I'm never on the ice, you know," I said. She nodded and tapped her chin.

   "But, you don't really know," she said, looking at me. I stayed silent. She smiled and I looked at her.

   "We'll just find out once he tells me he's dating her," I said. A tear went down my face, and Nicole hugged me.

   "It's okay. Just win him over, okay?" She said. I nodded.
