Chapter 1 Kim's POV

"Ow!" Kim hit the ice with a resounding thud.

Her blade had slipped as she exited the double axel. Now she had ice all over the back of her dark purple practice dress. She brushed the ice of and prepared to jump again. This time she landed it perfectly. Clapping echoed in the ice. Kim bowed. "Thank you! Thank you!"

Karen laughed as Kim slipped and fell as she bowed.

"Not funny!" Kim fought back a grin as Karen pulled her up.

All of a sudden, the changing room door banged open and hockey players poured onto the ice. This was when most people left the ice for fear of being run over.

"Let's go," Karen turned to skate off.

"No, public skate doesn't end for thirty more minutes, I'm not leaving, and neither are you!" Kim said, they did this every Friday.

Karen shrugged. "Want to try the triple axel?"

"Didn't Coach Jones say to start of with the salchow? You know, because the triple axel is the hardest jump," Karen said.

Kim ignored Karen as she started the entry to the triple axel. Digging her toe pick into the ice she lifted her self off the ice and rotated three and a half times... And landed perfectly.

"Boom goes the dynamite, boom!" Kim said. "What was that you were saying?"

She cupped a hand around her ear. "Speak up, I didn't hear you. Was it something about the triple axel being- say the hardest jump and to start of with the salchow?"

Karen rolled her eyes. "Bet you can't do it again."

"Five bucks, you're on," Kim smirked.

Once again, Kim skated around the rink picking up speed. After a clean three turn, she slammed her toe pick into the ice. She under rotated and landed two footed. She slipped and fell. Karen's laughter bounced around around the ice. Sighing, Kim dug five dollars out of her skate bag and handed them to Karen.

Out of the corner of her eye she saw to hockey players laughing at her. She skated over to them. "What are you laughing at?"

"You! The way you fell!" she recognized him as Jack from her karate class.

"So you laughed," Kim said in a deadly calm voice. "Well when you fall, I'll be sure to laugh at you."

"I never fall," Jack scoffed.

"Uh, Jack," Jerry tried to say.

Kim's hands shot out and shoved Jerry, he wobbled for a moment the crashed onto the ice. Her laugh was mocking. Jerry struggled up, his hockey gear prohibiting him.

"You and me, Crawford!" he roared.

Once he was standing, he rushed at her. Karen grabbed Kim's arm and dragged her off the ice. Slipping into their hardguards they dashed out. Luckily, Karen's mom Angel was already waiting for them.

"Go, go, go!" they shouted.

Angel backed out just as Jack burst through the door yelling.

"What was that about?" Angel asked.

"Oh, nothing," Kim said nonchalantly.
