Quebec, Canada
- The music blasted through his eardrum as he walked with his suitcase into the arena...
The room was very plain. The walls were concrete cutting off all the connection he had. A metal staircase was to the left leading down further into the deeps of the arena. Security guards stood at both sides of the door along with one behind a computer near the bag check.
He rolled his case behind him as he reached the security checkpoint. Coach Lee was following behind him as he grabbed the handles of the case and lifted it onto the conveyor belt.
Lifting his grey headphones off his ears, he let himself adjust to somewhat quietness of the air. He grabbed a small blue and threw them in with his phone, which he used less vigor with.
His black and white sneakers squeaked across the tile as he walked toward the metal detector. The light lit green and he walked toard the end of the conveyor belt for his suitcase.
When he spot the familiar black suitcase, he pulled it closer to him and lifted it back to the ground. The blue tray came and he put his headphones back on his ears. His right hand reached for his phone only for Coach Lee to grab it.
Coach Lee signalled the boy to take off his headphones. Following her orders, he gave his coach a questioning look.
"I am keeping this for the day."
"WHAT?!?" Donghyuck's eyes were wide as he looked at his phone to his coach in a rapid matter.
"You are getting distracted," Coach Lee started, "Something on this phone is distracting you from this competition."
"What if I'm trying not to think of THIS competition," Donghyuck fought back, "I am talking to my friend to calm my nerves. What is wrong with that?"
"You need to learn to deal with competition anxiety without your friends," Coach Lee explained, looking into Donghyuck's eyes, "Just let me do this. If this doesn't work, I won't do it again."
Donghyuck felt his confidence go down as he saw Coach Lee pocket his phone in her coat. He shoved his headphones back to his ears and stormed out of the security check point with his suitcase in tow.
"Let's get this practice over with."
