What if... The skaters could live the lives that they never got to fully experience? In a parallel universe, none of the skaters know how to skate. No trainings to attend, competitions to take part in, nothing. Instead, they lead ordinary high school lives, complete with homework to do, friends to make, crushes to crush (not really). There is a catch, however. All these skaters all go to the same university prep school. Bonding over misunderstanding each other through the language barrier. How wonderful This is what happens when you take a handful of your favorite figure skaters, two overly obsessed skating fans (Who fail at writing but nevertheless, still write stories.) and dump two (heaped) tablespoons of exaggeration stir it together and BAM! (maybe make that 4) There you have it, Skaters 101. (but without the skating) This is a purely fictional crack fiction. Any references to real life people or incidents are all by coincidence.

❝Your mind is your sky. So fly.❞ But Chiara Ross is a lost soul. Tethered to the ground by her mental demons, her flight is limited. After a dismal junior year of high school, she heads to Colorado to spend the summer interning with her father at an Olympic Training Site. It seems like she isn't able to leave her chains behind until she meets Vincent Zhou, a US Figure Skater who seems to have it all figured out. And they catch feelings, bonding through their mutual love for literature and all things handwritten. Everyone has their own demons. But with the right person, maybe Chiara can get rid of hers once and for all. And fly free.
