Figure Skater
Chapter 1:
I stared at the ice and I didn't know how but as I stepped out I found that my mind didn't know what to do but my heart did and I found my balance and made my way around the whole rink. Every one of the other kids stared at me wide eyed and their mouths dropped open into a small little 'o'. Mom was grinning and smiling at me. I looked around to see the teacher staring at me intently and smiling like a fool. I loved the way the wind moved through my hair and the way the blade of the skates moved delicately yet sharp on the ice. I was smiling widely and I knew I was never going to quit if I made a mistake. Ever since I've known what I wanted. The ice.
