THE FUCKING FINALS

SHAKES POV:

It's been an hour since coach left, I checked the whole arena and asked all the skaters and they have no idea where she went, " well I tried my best" I said to myself going back to watch the performance, it was the second to the last performance for the competition, the skater was good but not not good enough, you set the standards way too high. tired of watching, I look over to your side of the rink rail, then there's your coach whispering while looking at the current skater, I think she's repeating the skaters routine while she skates, moving on I see your teammates talking and cheering, but you're not there, that's weird, you are passionate about skating, rating skaters should be your thing, immediately I make my way into The kiss institute side of the arena, going forward into the corridor leading to the makeup and custom room, then I pause " what if she's gone home, if I see you what I'm I going to say" I asked myself taking a quick look around, everyone is busy watching the competition," fuck it" I said opening the door silently, popping my head in and taking a peep, nobody's there so I decide to turn back to my school's side of the arena, but then I hear sobbing from the custom room, slowly and still hesitating, I quietly open the door and there you were sobbing.? you were on the floor, your hands on your face and you were crying, you didn't even notice me enough to look up you were just face down shedding tears, it killed me Arianna, seeing you shed tears from those beautiful eyes, hearing your hurt voice, shaking, it made my heart bleed I moved towards you, to hold you, tell you it's okay, but I stopped, I can't meet you like this, you need this time alone and besides you don't even know me yet I thought to myself while leaving the room, returning to the dressing room everybody is busy changing, Mrs Penelope is already packed to go, I with nothing to do grab my bag and proceeds to leave " shit Valerie's bag" I said going back to get it. heading to the exit all I could think about was what was making you cry just then a phone pinged, checking my phone no notifications, it wasn't mine. another ping quickly I put down the bags and the phone pings again the phone comes on, the light comes from Valerie's bag " did she leave her fucking phone here ooh my God Val" I said bringing out the phone, surprisingly it's not locked, another ping it's an image, there are all images. I open one and it takes me to her gallery and what I see blows my fucking mind, it's a picture from 2001 That's the opening day of Frost academy, in the picture I see Coach Frost standing at the right side beside a man holding the scissors to cut the ribbon, opposite him is a lady that looked so much like Valerie and Arianna but she had Arianna's eyes, standing next to her is what I think is the island owner. looking down at the picture their names is written down the woman's name is Percy Frosts, the man beside her is not the owner of the island it's Percy's brother, then the man holding the scissors is Daniel Frosts and Coach Frost is recorded as Dickson Stones " no fucking way who is sending these things I thought skipping to the next picture it's Percy and Daniel Frosts recorded as the world's best figure skaters in Olympic , all over the world, they won the fucking international competitions and took the medal home this changes everything, but coach Frost has a picture frame in his fucking office I thought swiping to the next picture, this time it's a picture of Percy's brother declared missing my jaw drops just then it hits me all at once" it's all a fucking lie.? I said quickly grabbing my phone and calling coach, if he's looking for Valerie he would try to track her phone and it's on, the police haven't started searching tho, it's not 24 hours yet. finally he picks up hello " I said " this is coach Frosts leave a message after the beep, coach I found Valerie's phone, it was in her bag, please call me back" I said disconnecting the call now to take this files I said going to settings and clicking airdrop and click on manual, we can't risk this kind of thing I thought, the internet can sell us off these days selecting all the seven files that got sent to her I click send. my heart is pounding, what if he knows and he's watching me, or what if his computer expert is watching me, how did he miss her phone it was right here in her bag, doesn't he track her location did he leave this for me to find, who sent this fucking pictures, does coach know they still exist, did coach have something to do with Percy's brother being missing, is coach Frosts stones just Dickson Stones, did he really steal the house, if yes what did he do to Arianna's parents, how did this happen, why is it just coming out now, who is coach then was he even an ice skater, a million questions popping up in my head , a phone pings, and my heart flies out of my stomach, the transfer is complete after that I delete them from Valerie's gallery and delete it from trash and clear the recent activities till it was down to her last I*******m like notification, feeling a little bit relieved I take a deep breath, and the voices of the teammates startle me again, hey bro, how long were you waiting mehn, you should have stayed back the results are out we won " Alex said excitedly " what " I said in disbelief " yh both first, second and third place,all Frost skaters " Alex said looking at me" I know it's rigged but who cares next up the fucking international competitions " he chants out loud and everybody follow suit, I hated this academy, winning never felt good, it gives this bad taste that it's not my hardwork it's someone's money, just then I'm interrupted by Coach Frost he's calling me back" Shakes I went back to academy, bring the phone to my office he said quickly and disconnected the call, I put my phone in my pocket " you better come out Valerie, we have to talk about this, this is more than Alot"
