Skating for freedom
Sakura Kinomoto was you average 15 year old regional figure skater, she had auburn colour hair, and Emeralds for eyes. Sakura lost her mother when she was very young due to cancer, she lives with her older brother mostly because her father was always out at a dig or teaching, she rarely got to see him due to the fact that she had practices ever 2nd day and on weekends, Sakura started figure skating when she was 7 years old, there she meet he best friends Tomoyo, and Rika. Since then she had been friends with them ever since, they usually see each other at school but Sakura Barely saw then after school because she would have practice, she was always happy when they had practice together. But when she was a alone she felt as if no one cared about her, she never told anyone thing because she was afraid that they would be worried about her. The one think she hated the most was pity for her because of the loss of a family member. But when she skates in competions she feels that no one else is there or that nothing in the world matters, she feels free. People would usually ask her to go out but she would just say no. No matter how much she wanted a date, they would just break-up in the end because she would always be to busy to go out. When she at home she has a lot of chores to do around he house and also cook when she is home. The reason she took up skating was because her mother always loves to watch figure skaters when he was in the hospital, so she wanted to make her proud by skating for her. Her other only got to see her compete only twice while she had competed. On her third competion she had one first, she was so happy until she saw the look on her father and brothers face knowing what happened, she dropped every thing she was holding and ran across the city to the hospital in her socks. When she got hthere she saw her mother being rolled out of the room, she sopped them and gave her one more hug and kiss before they left, she kissed her hand one more time before letting go, not until she found a note in her hand she opened it and read:
Sakura, I Know I have left this world with out saying good bye, but please promis me that you will keep on skating, I see how happy you are when your on the ice, please skate your best for me make me proud. I love you, your mother.
Sakura, walked back to the compition where her father, brother her friends and her coach waiting for her, she gave them a smile before heading out on the ice to finish of her performance thus winning first overall and heading to nationals for her first time.
