( March 24th, 2021 )

I sit down with my coach, Olivia, looking at the rink we're in. I just completed my free skate program, and I was currently in the lead. I got the highest score for my short skate program, which made me feel slightly better.

Currently, I was at the 2021 World Figure Skating Championships in Stockholm, Sweden. I was competing against highly qualified figure skaters, and it scared me. I was only 17 ( though my birthday's in September ), and didn't have as much experience.

My coach, seemingly already knowing what's on my mind, grabbed my hand. "Hey, Lex, you're fine. You were amazing. You didn't fall once."

"I know, but what if," I pause, looking at her while panting from the routine I just did. "What if they don't like me?"

Olivia laughs at my words, shaking her head and pointing in the judges direction. "Does it look like they hate you?"

I look at where she's pointing, my brows furrowing as I squint. "122.40? Wait, with my short skate that means I got 210.88 in total?"

I turn my head back to look her in the eyes, my ponytail hitting me in my face from how quickly I turned. Olivia has the brightest smile I've ever seen on her face as she watches me realize that I've just qualified for the Olympics.

"Oh my fucking God!" I stand, my legs burning as putting my hands on my face. "Liv, what the fuck?"

She brings me into a hug, standing up as well. We hug each other for the longest time, and I can't stop smiling. This has been my dream ever since I've been a kid.

"Oh my God, I'm going to the fucking Olympics!"

CAM SPEAKS!
