THE FINALS 1

SHAKES POV:

Today's the day, I get to meet you, I thought to myself while looking at your profile again for the 55th Time since last night, I couldn't sleep all I did was think about you, search about you and your best friend Clarisse, I know everything about you now well everything you want me to know, I can't lie I want to know more like what your sister already knows, " hey mehn you still eating, you need to come downstairs coach is furious this morning" Alex said while biting an apple , I roll my eyes, what now, I thought to myself reluctantly heading to the rink with Alex , I could hear his voice from the corridor leading to the ice rink, when last was Mr Frosts that angry, it better not be what I'm thinking, getting there I try to blend with the crowd , resting on the wall" what's going on" I whisper to Alex " he's furious about our reflectance towards the preparation of the finals today and how our routines suck " Alex said hearing this I pull out my phone and start dumb scrolling on your I*******m account for the 4th time this morning, I know everything, your morning routine,where you school, your best friend, your mom, your favorite park and favorite food, everything but I can only guess, I need to see you to confirm all this hopefully today is the day, seeing you live at the skating competition performing, it will be satisfying, your body in the air spinning perfectly and then landing majestically, don't even get me started on those killer eyes, your sister couldn't even if she practiced a million times, I thought to myself smiling " Shakes" I'm interrupted by Coach Frost " care of share what's so funny" the Coach said still furious, I take a quick glance around to make sure my next move is valid enough to get me out of this mess and fortunately it was, turning to the coach " you" I said with my head up " excuse me" Coach is fummin now but what better way to humble a person than to compare him with what is obviously better, I thought continuing while moving forward from the crowd, " I'm sorry coach, but with all due respect, this competition was announced two weeks ago after the last competition with the states, and you haven't been at rink since then, you just gave the routines to Valerie which we thought is understandable but then a week to the competition we get the information that Valerie is competing with us, which is surprising considering what she's been through, and today you just show up and start criticizing our routines, comparing us to Kiss skaters.? I mean atleast they have a coach who actually coaches them, don't you think it would have been easier if you'd done your job as a coach, it's your institute not ours" I said watching Mr Frost who is visibly angry, biting his lower lip and looking down, he puts his hands on his hips and looks around the crowd," where's Valerie.?" he asked me" how should I know " I said tilting my head to the side walking towards me with a confused look his brows crossed " we broke up she didn't tell you.?" I said quietly out of the other skaters hearing he tries not to look surprised" Keisha, you and the other competitors go and get ready, we don't wanna miss that flight, and you find Val, you two are driving with me " he said leaving the rink, I roll my eyes of course I get to go look for the lost princess, checking her last post it's the red light, now I think I know where she is, rushing over to the pent hut at the end of the island we were in, and behold she's looking at the red light now giving a huge sigh, the light is facing the outskirts of Canada and she's staring at it, is she missing you, does she want to meet you, " hey" I yell trying to get her attention she turns towards me " I don't wanna go" she said turning back to the sea " it's not about what you want tho" I said moving towards her and opening my arms for a hug, she hugs me back tight and moves back leaning on the rail again. we stay there for a little bit before going back.

by the time we arrive at the competition, Li Shan,Anna and Keisha already performed, I'm looking around for the Kiss skaters, coach is giving the skaters a pep talk and Valerie is not here, not here.? where's she we are going to miss our performance, I make my way to the custom room and Mrs Penelope says she didn't see her, fuck, I rush back to the rink my hands on my waist, Coach sights me, giving me signals and I shake my head. Valerie is missing minutes before our fucking performance, I sight Alex walking out of the ice " you've seen Val.?" i asked holding him back " yh I saw her in the corridor a few minutes after we got here, " that's not Val I thought , the announcer proceeds to call us to the ice, fuck, coach is furious " you haven't seen her.?" I shake my head, then he dashes out, my hands on my face as I hear the announcer announce the third time, that's it we missed it, what was she thinking, running off to where,why, how, just then I'm interrupted by the announcer " performing for the Kiss academy, Arianna Johnsons" there you are, purple gown custom hugging your body showing how slender you are, your hair neatly tied to a ponytail, your eyes didn't need eyeliners to trap a soul but I guess the makeup artist had to do her job, sliding into the ice slowly and smoothly, I couldn't think of a more beautiful way to show yourself then the silence is broken by an audience, clapping and cheering as loud as she could it's your best friend,my face lights up with a smile turning my attention to you once again, you start with making a circle on the ice " finally something new" I thought to myself, starting off with a perfect toe loop, your body moving like it was made for ice ,then you transit into the biellinam spin, your leg up in the air " routine is looking good , I said to myself while watching you hit your next move the sit spin transiting into midrotation legs perfectly aligned then using a double jump axel to exit, just enough speed to wow the audience and land smoothly and then proceed to a spin outstretched arms, round the circle and then land a perfect just right in front of the judges, my jaw drops, nothing is supposed to beat that, with that you take your bow. the crowd goes nuts, Alex shakes me aggressively" that was fucking perfect bro " he said jumping and cheering, wooooo I shouted in the middle of the uproar clapping, going out of the ice you make your final move to your friend, she deserved that kiss, just then the moment is cut short by my coach grip on my shoulder " I still can't find Valerie, if you have any idea where the fuck she would be, now is the time" Coach said shaking furiously " I don't know where she is coach, I have know idea" I said raising my hands up a little, he proceeds to dialing a number " yes, id like to report a missing person please" he said leaving towards the corridor leading to the exit.

" where are you Val".
