Amelia's Skater Story

Scarlett the skater By Amelia Scarlett was wearing a crimson coloured leotard with a skirt connected to it, that had two little cuts at each side. She had make up on her face and a dark crimson lipstick to match her leotard. As she skated in her faded light salmon coloured ice skates, she was doing cool poses. She had thin white tights on, and to match her lipstick and leotard she had thin crimson gloves on that reached up to about 4 inches from her shoulder. Her hair was tied up in a bun, and she looked nervous but proud of herself. She was concentrated and she was doing warm ups for a big performance the next day. She was a teenager that was nearly an adult. She wants to be a fantastic skater. It was pitch black at the colorado river in the middle of Arizona and California in America. It was cold on the steep and twisty frozen water as Scarlett crackled onto the ice. There were tall rocks surrounding her as she posed around. The wide thick ice that stood stable on top of the cold water was making quiet noises but Scarlett could not hear it over how focussed she was, as she practised for her performance with her Mum watching from the helicopter, that her family bought when Scarlett won all the money from the kids cup. As Scarlett possed around she thought she could challenge herself by playing a little game. She was held her breathe and she was trying to see how long she could foccus without breathing. To concentrate more she decided to close her eyes. Then she felt a bump on her shoe and she thought that it was just a ice lump of where she had already skated, but it was a large rock. “Aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!” Quickly the helicopter swooped down and landed next to Scarlett. Her mum ran out to grab her. The next thing she knew was that she woke up in a plane white room and she was wearing a light grey gown. She had a cast around her arm and it said ‘Get well soon’ as well as 6 other people’s names. Then a nurse came through the big doors. Scarlett’s Mother and Father were flowing behind her. The nurse gave Scarlett a drink and then she spoke to Scarlett’s parents. “Ohh. Well I’m afraid that Scarlett won’t be well enough to go to the competition today.” “Oh but Scarlett’s been looking forward to this since she was five.” She didn’t know what to do she would just have to go home and rest. She was missirible for the rest of the day. She guessed her big dreams of winning the competition had been ruined. She would just have to live for another eight years, for the next massive american skaters show.
