Finally I'm uploading a new chapter lol. Sorry about that longish wait. I was in Illinois for a funeral and I had no data 😕
Enjoy the chapter! I also drew the photo. It's a picture of you skating to nukumori

Today was the day. My competitive side was urging me on, yet the fact that I have to skate in front of ,maybe, millions held me back. I, (Y/f/n), will be skating in front of an audience.
"I hope you're proud, dad," I breathed out. "He is," someone put their hand on my shoulder. Turning my head, my mom was smiling at me, "now when they say your name, I want you to skate like there is no one watching you. Skate like you're alone with dad."

Nodding, I walked out and ran into a young boy. "Sorry ma'am!" He smiled and ran off. Odd...
I better practice. I felt nervous as I entered the rink.
"Ma'am? This is men's only," someone tapped me on the shoulder. "Sorry, but ms. (L/n) is competing," (c/n) told the person. "Ehhhh?! But that's a female. Not a male? Why did they allow her to compete?"
"I'll show you," I answered for (c/n), "when it's my turn, I'll show you why my mom was able to persuade them."

The person arched an eyebrow and sighed, "I still can't believe-"
I tuned her out so I could practice. Either I blended in with the crowd of skaters or people didn't care because no one noticed me. Well, a few of the men skating gave me weird looks, but other than that...

"(Y/n)!" Someone called. Yuri was smiling at me and Victor was waving to me. "H-hey," I left the rink and rubbed the back of my neck. "Don't be so nervous around us. We aren't mad at you or anything. I'm actually glad that you're competing!" Victor smiled widely. I looked down to hide my blush and rubbed my arm.
Yuri laughed as I looked up, (y/n)... your face is bright red!" My natrual instinct was to smack his arm, so I did. It made him laugh more. Victor chuckled a little bit.
An announcer came on, "Okay everyone! No more practicing! Time for the competition!"
"Good luck!" Yuri and I yelled to each other. The person, that was talking to me while I was practicing, was talking to my couch and mom.
I was about to have a nice chat with them until the announcer interrupted me, "(F/n) (l/n)! This is... her... first competition and here is her coached choreograph called nukumori!"
Nervous tension ran through my vains as I took my jacket off. Under my jacket was my suit. It was a dark crimson red with a golden sun on my chest. On my arms were gold strings with orange beads. My stomach had crystals going around. In my hair was a pin that had gold and crystals. Natrually, my hair was put into a ponytail.
I skated out towards the middle of the rink and waited for the music. When it came on, I leaned over then twisted back up. My arms went up above my head then out. My feet glided in my skated around the rink. "First is the toe loop!" The announcer echoed my thoughts. My skates slashed together as I accomplished the toe loop.
I echoed the music's intensity through my skating. The only sounds you could hear were the occasional gasps, the music, and the sound of my skates sliding and hitting the ice.
Next is the A- "next up is the Axel jump. Something her coach said she had perfected. I felt myself twirl to the jump. "Perfect!" The announcer cheered.
"The next jump is the loop jump. Another thing she had perfected!"
Loop jump... I echoed and felt my skates do the jump for me. "Another perfect jump! Wow!"

By the end of the song, I had sweat dripping off my bangs and chin, but my breathing was just fine.
"Tune in later for the score!" The announcer said excitedly. I happily skated towards the exit. The person who was criticizing me for being the girl, had their mouth open and was staring at me with disbelief.
"(Y/n)! That was amazing!" Yuri almost ran into me. "Thanks," I brushed my sweaty bangs from my face. Victor was just staring at me. Is he amazed? No... that's not right... maybe he's mad? Why would he? He was happy earlier...
Victor smiled and winked as he caught me staring. My eyes widened and my cheeks heated up again. "That was awesome!" The boy from earlier was smiling widely. "Thanks!" I smiled at him.
"How are you not out of breath?" Victor spoke up. "Ah, I thought that was strange too," Yuri echoed Victor and the boy nodded.
"I guess I have great stamina." It was my turn to wink. "No kidding!" Victor smiled and combed his hand through his hair. My cheeks got rosy again and I just wanted to slap myself for even blushing at that.
Someone hugged me in the back and I turned around. My mom had her head buried in my chest and when she lifted her head, she had a huge smile. "You're father would be proud."

I smiled at her and looked at the three boys. Flashing the cutest smile I could at them, I turned to my mom and hugged her back.

"You're amazing," I heard Victor quietly breath behind me. My cheeks turned darker. Was I supposed to hear that?
