L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N [Diamond Hon]

I'm going to die of internal bleeding. I thought gloomily, clutching the edge as I pushed myself upright.

What the hell was I thinking, coming down to the skating rink? Oh, right, I wasn't thinking. I looked down on my legs and thankfully, the pants hid the bruises that were surely forming. I must have fallen down a dozen times already. And like an idiot, here I am, about to try again.

"Let go, let go, just...let...GOOOO!" I pushed myself forward with a determined yell (which ended up like a terrified shriek), trying my best to keep my balance as I zoomed across the ice. I willed my foot to glide in front of the other like the other kids, but my legs seemed to anticipate the possibility of another trauma and refused to listen. I started to scream as I realized I was going too fast, too straight, and I was going to crash on the other side of the rink. "Oh gods!" Another camper was speeding towards me and I couldn't stop. "Stop! STOP!" I shrieked, waving my arms wildly. "STOP!"

I missed him by inches.

Just when I was assured I wasn't going to kill anyone but myself, another camper glided into view. She was clutching the edge as she skated and she looked like she was in pain. Well, she was going to be in a lot more of it if I don't figure out a way to stop. "Hey!" I shrieked at her. "Get out of the waaaaay!"

I crashed into the edge of the rink with a sickening thud but thankfully I didn't hit my head. The impact sure knocked the wind out of me though and my knees collapsed - both from the horror of what happened and the relief that I didn't hit the blonde girl.
"I'm so sorry!" I gushed out, bending down to help the girl. She had blonde curls, light green eyes and looked like a pixie. Was she a daughter of Aphrodite? She was definitely pretty. But right now she was wincing and from what I can tell, her knee was hurt. Her question rang sharply in my ears: "Are you trying to get everyone killed?" Oh gods, I'm such a klutz that I'm dangerous being around people. "I'm really sorry," I repeated, my voice sounding a thousand times smaller. Come on Selene! She's not going to eat you alive! Introduce yourself! "I - I - this is my first time skating. I'm from Hawaii. So you know, no snow. The closest thing we have is the ice on the freezer. I used to skate my fingers across the freezer when I was a kid and I always wanted to try ice skating. I heard the Khione kids made this. Amazing huh?" I stopped abruptly, my face burning as I realized I was babbling useless things to a complete stranger who almost died because of me. "Uh, my name's Selene by the way. I'm sorry for almost kill - hit! Hitting you! I'm sorry. The slippery was slippery - I mean the ice was slippy - oh gods!" I moaned, hitting my face with my palm.

Shut up Selene, just shut up.
