Song: Right Now by One Direction
Kierra's POV
The plane ride there is silent.
Emily sits in between me and Alex as I stare out of the window.
Alex doesn't say a single word to me the entire time.
Whatever I thought we were, we weren't.
Sighing softly I open the door to the practice rink as a blast of cold wind hits me.
"Kierra!" Karen screams.
Smiling I jog over to her leaving Alex and Emily to themselves.
Karen stands on the ice her hair in a low pony and legging and a jacket thrown on.
We attempt to hug over the barrier.
"I missed you!" We both say at the same time.
No matter what the media says about us being rivals for the top of the podium we're really best friends.
That's the thing with figure skating.
You don't get a social life, your childhood is all centered around training. And so you become friends with the people you see the most often, also known as the competition.
But, it's all good.
Vincent skates over to us awkwardly, and we do a weird hug, thing.
Nathan skates over, with a hint of jealousy in his eyes.
I stare at him waiting for him to make the first move.
"Hey," He states finally.
"Hello," I state head held high, and ponytail swishing slightly.
I can admit the fact that he's moved on. And I have too.
"SAY CHEESE!"
Smiling at the camera I laugh as Adam runs over to me from the bleachers and gives me a hug.
Just like it was at the Olympics.
Everything is smiles and laughs until Amber comes over.
"Hi," I say trying to remain civil.
She gives me a hard stare trying to tell me that the podium has her name written all over it.
Rolling my eyes I walk away to go put my skates on.
Alex's POV
I stare at Kierra suddenly feeling very awkward.
I don't miss the hug that Vincent gives her.
"So that's it?" I ask Emily.
"What?" Emily asks.
"Vincent and Kierra?" I mutter staring at them.
"You like her?" Emily questions.
"So what?" I ask.
"Well, answering a question with a question is not correct. But anyway she's had a lot of boys on her back," Emily states.
"What do you mean?" I question suddenly intrigued.
"Look at Kierra a beautiful 18-year-old, guys are obviously chasing after her. She's had some history with Nathan, they dated when she was 16 and broke up a month or two after. And I swear she and Vincent were like secretly dating or something," Emily informs bluntly.
It takes a couple of seconds for the words to sink in.
She thinks you're not good enough for her.
