"Are you sure?" Edward asked carefully.
"Yes. I'm fine." I said quietly.
"What happened?" He asked, helping me up.
"Jessica made me trip on something." I struggled to remember. Everything in the past seemed fuzzy now.
"That little-" He jumped up, but I grabbed his arm and pulled him back.
"It's fine. Let's just go show her how some real winners skate." I smiled, and we went back on the ice.
The crowd stopped their hushed conversations and clapped. I looked down, blushing.
Jessica screamed in anger and stomped her foot. I shot her a sickly sweet smile and she stuck her tongue out. What a two-year-old.
"Are you ready?" Edward asked for the second time.
"Of course." I grinned.
And we started again.
This time, when it came to my Quadruple Layback Spin, I landed it, even after Jessica tried to drop something under my skate again.
Instead of tripping, I swished my blade sideways, splashing her with a huge handful of ice.
She screamed, and I laughed, as did Edward, Alice, and Rosalie. Alice and Rose were on the sidelines, leaning against the wall and cheering.
Even Edward made as much of an effort to swish Jessica with ice as I did, and we succeeded every time.
When it came time for the last throw, I spun around in the air multiple times, making sure to catch Jessica's priceless look from my spinning peripheral vision.
I landed it, and the crowd went wild. I couldn't help but laugh when I returned to Edward's arms.
"Great job." He kissed my hair.
The judges gathered together to discuss our score.
"I'm scared." I admitted quickly. My breathing was hitched, and I was shaking.
"It'll be fine. You did great. They're stupid not to give you a perfect score." He assured me.
"What about you? You did great too." I gave him a one-sided high-five.
"Well, I don't know about that." He looked at the ice.
"You don't give yourself enough credit, Edward. You were amazing." I held his chin up.
"Sure." He dragged out the word sarcastically. I just rolled my eyes, and the announcer cleared his throat in the microphone.
It was completely silent.
"The judges have made their decisions." He said slowly, gesturing to the Judges' Table.
The first judge held up a sign with a large 0.8, a perfect Pairs score. The crowd cheered loudly.
The second judge held up a large 1.0, a perfect Men's score. The crowd cheered even louder, and Edward beamed.
The third and final judge held out his hand for the microphone, and the announcer handed it to him.
"This score for Isabella Swan was very easy to decide, her performance gave us reason to deliver it." He spoke, and handed the microphone back.
I took a shaky breath. He didn't say what score it would be.
Just for dramatic effect, I guessed, there was a long pause before the last judge announced my score.
He held up a large 0.8, a perfect Ladies' score.
The crowd went BALLISTIC.
The screaming literally made my ears ring, and I was deafened for a short minute.
"Congratulations." Edward said, grinning, and he kissed me.
This one was even longer than the last one, and the crowd "Aww!"-ed. I heard Rosalie and Alice screaming from their seats, and I laughed.
"You deserved it." Edward whispered when he pulled back.
"So did you." I whispered back, still grinning.
When the crowd quieted down, we went back to the stands.
"Congratulations, Bella!" Alice and Rosalie hugged me tight.
"Thanks, guys." I thanked them, and they stepped to the side as Emmett and Jasper came up, doing the same. Only Emmett's hug was more like a tackle.
"Thanks...Emmett...please...let go." I choked out, and he laughed a booming laugh.
Carlisle and Esme were next, only their hugs were much more appropriate. And not nearly as life-threatening.
When I turned around to go back for a victory lap with Edward, Alice, Rosalie, Emmett, and Jasper, I felt a light tap on my shoulder.
I turned to see Lauren standing there, grinning.
"Uh...hi, Lauren." I said slowly.
"You were great out there, Bella!" She exclaimed, hugging me.
"Thanks. But won't Jessica kill you if she sees what you're doing?" I asked when she pulled back.
"I'm not friends with Jessica anymore. She's way too controlling and bossy." She frowned slightly, but smiled again as she continued.
"I love your costume. Where'd you get it?" She asked eagerly.
"Alice made it for me." I answered happily.
Wow.
I never thought I'd be nice to Lauren.
"Could you help me with Illusion Spins? I can never put my leg forward at the right time." Lauren asked, almost pleading.
"Sure. Let's do it now." We went out on the ice with Alice and Rosalie.
"Can you help us too, Bella?" They asked.
"Sure. Just come to Bella The Tutor." I laughed.
They caught on quickly, and soon we were doing all kinds of spins and jumps on the ice.
"Okay, it's nice to see you girls have your fun, but it's guy time. So get out of the way." Emmett and Jasper pushed between us in their hockey uniforms.
We watched them race around the ice, and laughed when Jasper snuck up on Emmett and tackled him.
Soon Lauren had to leave, and it was just me and the Cullens.
It was 6:45 before Alice finally spoke up.
"I'm hungry."
Everyone laughed.
"What?" She demanded defensively.
"You're always hungry, Alice." Rosalie giggled.
"How does such a tiny person eat so much?" I teased.
"Let's not get crazy here, people." She fake-punched my arm.
We went out to a diner not far from the rink, and prepared ourselves for the long ride home.
