WREN
“Sorry, could you repeat that?” I ask again in a small voice, hoping that
pretending I can’t hear them means that this isn’t happening. This can’t be
happening, right?
When I was told I had a meeting with the dean and Coach Darcy, I
thought maybe I was getting an award. A well done for not losing your shit at
your stupid ex-boyfriend / partner for fucking up your routine, handed to me
with an oversized trophy and a bouquet of flowers. “Oh, you shouldn’t have,”
I’d respond coyly with a dashing smile. I would love to see that on a trophy.
Or something along those lines. But no. Instead, I’m getting some really
sucky news.
“Wren, that’s the third time you’ve said that today. Are you okay?”
Coach asks in her thick French accent. Her words almost fly right over my
head. I can see sympathy taking over her expression as her deep-set brown
eyes flicker with worry. She probably thinks I’m insane. Honestly, it feels like
I’m slowly getting there.
“Yes, I’m fine. Just…adjusting,” I reply, looking around the office at the
ugly brown furniture that I have grown to loathe. I always get chills when I
come in here. It has an unwelcoming ambience, and it is always too cold.
Something unnerving lingers in the air as I try not to focus on it.
“You won’t need to adjust to anything if you find a plan to work around
this. It’s just a misstep. That’s all,” Coach explains with a warm smile. I
return the smile, but I can feel mine wobble.
The ‘misstep’ that she’s referring to is the fact that I might not be able to
skate anymore after our Winter Showcase in December. North University in
Salt Lake City, comically located in the south, is famously known for its
hockey team and figure skaters. Naturally, being a winter city, people
gravitated towards our winter sports more than anything. We enter the
championships every year like all the other colleges, but we also host
seasonal events for the students and wider community. Although we have a
rink each for the hockey and the skaters, people have taken much more of an
interest in the hockey team than us.
We only have five skaters left on our team after most of them dropped
skating to do a full major or just left all together. Last year, each competition
and each event were met with enthusiasm from the students and the
community but after Augustus and I got into the regional championships and
lost horrifically, no one has batted an eye at us since. I was shunned and
embarrassed, not ready to brave another competition or performance.
