Kindle Notes & Highlights
miserable souls he’d partnered up with over the years—but
first name reminded me of Satan.
Ugh. Overachiever. Ass. Jerk.
Because no one ever remembers second place, unless you’re Ivan Lukov. And I was no Ivan.
Being jealous and bitter was what people who didn’t have anything better to do, did. I knew that. No one did anything with their lives if they spent it comparing themselves to other people. I knew that too.
ngl this is advice that i need to religiously repeat to myself…
It was easy to take things for granted when you thought you had everything.
I was still clinging onto even though some part of me realized all it did was hurt me more than help me.
this reminds me of oikawa, being the best setter in miyagi but still not being good enough to beat ushijima and going to nationals. so he just kept pushing himself to get better and better. but in the end it just felt like all his efforts had gone to waste coz he just stayed at the same place
Or maybe masturbate.
AGAJAJSJ PLEASE THAT WAS SO UNEXPECTED 😭😭
Paul The Piece of Shit Asshole I Would Burn Alive?
They didn’t even know part of the story.
i wonder what happened. was she in an accident? or was she just unlucky?? shes the mc so she has to be a good skater right? jk
Karina Lukov,
ahhh so thats the lukov she loved,,, i thought it was gonna be some famous figure skater whos her role model. or like ivan lukovs dilf dad or milf mom??? 🥴😩
“Nobody was surprised she couldn’t get another partner after Paul left her.”
yikes 😬😬
I was five foot three and I wasn’t built to be that person ever.
being petty >>> who cares if theyre teens 🙄
It was just another shitty sign that time and life kept going even when I didn’t want it to.
It was better for me to look at it like that than get hung up on why I had more time on my hands.
“If they are, I wonder who he’ll skate with.”
lmao what if hes coming to ask jasmine to be his new skating partner? jk …. unless……
only ever bickered to me over the dumbest shit from time to time.
sounds like those childish tendencies of lightly bullying ur crush 😭😭 jk im looking wayyy to far into this
And I had not a single fucking thing to show for it.
okay no i would be devastated too
Why the hell was I even paying attention anyway?
Figure skating had always made me feel invincible.
Jasmine, come to the GM office before you go,
is this where she gets paired with lukov ??
showcasing those lean pecs and leaner torso, or the navy blue turtleneck bringing to life the almost pale skin over the face that the other girls at the facility went nuts over, that caught my attention for the longest amount of time.
sounds like she likes what she sees….
was his gray-blue eyes totally zoned in on me that made me pause. I never forgot how intense the color was, but it always took me off guard anyway. I never forgot how long the black eyelashes surrounding them were either.
girl r u sure u hate his guts 😭😭
“We want you to be Ivan’s next partner,”
SHUT THE FUCK UPPPP I FUCKING CALLED IT
There were moments in life where you asked yourself if you did drugs without realizing it.
I hated feeling so insecure.
regret was worse than fear.
“To skate pairs,” he answered like “duh.”
I LOVE THIS DUDE ALREADY OMG
“Because we’re trying to get you to join the team, not remind you why you wouldn’t want to.”
Dumbass, I mouthed before I could stop myself and remember to be better. Meatball, he mouthed back.
PLEASE I AM SO EXCITED TO SEE HOW THEY WORK TOGETHER
ruin this important conversation he knew we were having.”
god i also love this coach 😭
There was no logical reason to ask me…
maybe he likes you ;)
She’s difficult to work with, Paul had said,
what an asshole 🙄
I had shoved some speed skater dickwad once for grabbing my ass, and I was the bad guy.
this is the patriarchys fault
You are who you are in life, and you either live that time trying to bend yourself to make other people happy, or… you don’t.
“You know what that’s like, don’t you?”
I’m going to spit in his mouth the first chance I get,
ma’am thats kinda— 😳😳 r u sure u hate him….?
Why else would he be coming to me? To be his permanent partner? Of course not.
that kinda hurts my heart 😔🥲🥲
Pairs skating was about unity, about trust,
im guessing its hard to trust someone you hate
Mom wasn’t just a cougar, she was The Cougar. All other cougars hailed to her.
And by talk, I really meant mutter in passing, “You might as well quit now. You’re too old to get anywhere.”
“Is that leotard supposed to be a size too small or…?” For no damn reason.
no one really knew why except for me.
WHY?????
She kept on going, reaching out to take my hand. “But you’ve always jumped right back up after a fall. You don’t know anything else. Things don’t always work out the way we want them to, but no girl of mine, especially not you, is a quitter,” she said to me. “And whatever else happens, you’re more than this sport. Understand me?”
stop maybe i teared up just a little 😔😔
Everything in life required a sacrifice.
When you want something bad enough, you can always make it happen.
“I don’t mind splitting it,” he kept going, the corner of his mouth coming up into a baby smirk I was way too familiar with.
no coz why does my heart feel all fluttery inside 😭
“I’m fine. It’s him,” I said at the same time Ivan said, “It’s her fault.”
please i love this so much
Stop looking at me, I mouthed. No, he mouthed back.
flirting already 😔🤚💔
