Amber
I never thought I would be a figure skater, but here I am. I'm at the Chicago Ice Rink skating with my partner Miles while the hockey team warms up in the corner for their turn on the rink.
"Amber, you're too slow, start again!" Coach Abby yells.
"Coach, we need to make the most of our time. The hockey players need their practice as well." I yell back at her.
"Do I care? No, come on now, chop chop" She claps her hands. I sigh in frustration and wave a hand at the hockey boys in apology. One of the boys, who I assume is the captain, does a thumbs up.
We continue with our routine, and we get to the position where Miles has to lift me up with one hand and everything seems to slow down. I fall out of Miles' hand, and I see the captain who gave me the thumbs up earlier rushing towards me. I land in his arms in a huff, and everything goes back to normal. Everyone rushes towards me as the captain sets me down.
"Are you ok?" He whispers in my ear. His deep voice makes me shiver.
I nod. "Yes, thank you so much" I hold out my hand, "Amber"
He cocks a grin and shakes my hand "Collin. You sure it's time for introductions after you almost died?"
I blink, not sure what to say. "I mean I don't know ok. You can start practicing now, sorry for taking up your practice time."
His grin grows wider. "I'm pretty sure that's not how apologies work."
I glare at him, "Not sure what you mean, but I'm going now, goodbye."
He barks a laugh as I turn on my heel and walk away. I arrive at my apartment and see Miles sitting on the couch. Miles and I are roommates, and his sorry ass father bought the apartment for him for leaving him and his mom and came back. So, he just let me live here.
He stands up, "Are you okay? I'm so sorry for leaving after dropping you. I just felt so bad."
I put my hands on his shoulders. "It's ok I forgive you."
Miles sighs in relief and smiles. "Thank you, Amber."
I hear a knock on the door and open it. I see Sophia standing there.
"We need to talk!" She pushes through me inside and I laugh, closing the door.
