Prologue

Freedom.

That's what I felt every single time I was on the ice. People say that I'm a summer person what with my tanned skin and love for swimming. Sure I love the beach and I feel free when I'm there too but, its different from the freedom that I feel when skating. On the ice, I could be myself. I'm the only one in the rink when I perform and I can tell the story however I want to. There's no one to say that I was lying when my feelings were being laid bare for everyone to see.

People are usually bothered by the cold. Me on the other hand, I feel right at home. I think clearer in the cold. The cold also helps to soothe all the loneliness and pain that I feel. As a kid, I always wondered what it was like to have a father. I wondered if my father would have been the kind to pick me up from school and my extra classes. If he would have come in person to cheer me on in competitions. I often got jealous of the other kids who had their fathers pick them up from school or skating lessons. People judged me a lot too because I was diagnosed with ADHD and dyslexia saying that I'm a nuisance because I couldn't sit sill for long or read properly.

None of that mattered on the ice, though. The only judgment that meant anything to me were the ones who would be giving me my score.

It's funny though how the people who claim to be closest to me never ask what it was I was love to do aside from doing water sports or going to the beach. The person who knows me the best would be the Russian who won't admit to being my closest friend.

My name is Perseus Jackson. I'm a professional figure skater and one day, I'm going to dominate the Figure Skating Grand Prix and win the gold medal.
