Winter, the one season besides monsoon that I loved. But it wasn't because of the snow, or even the 3-4 weeks with no school. No, it was the feeling of love,hope and peace that was in the air. Maybe it was just the cold wind freezing my face, or the snow numbing my feet that made it feel different from the rest of the year. All I knew was that it was 30degrees out side I decided to walk to school. Not that smart. You see I live on E Cherry st. Payson az an my school was a 10 minuet walk away. Not to mention the 4 inches of snow that buried the ground below me. But i didn't care, not today anyways, so I grabbed my bag and headed out the door, through my porch area, opened the gate and was on my way. I didn't get very far when I realized how cold i suddenly was. I looked down only to see that i forgot my jacket. I turned around to go back only to run face first into non other than my best friend, Tiniconondra.
His dark green eyes eyes widened with embarrassment as he blushed, his black hair sticking out at all ends. "oh, Al's I'm so sorry."He stumbled out. I just laughed.
"tic, it's ok, It's not like I fell." I started walking back to my house to get my jacket as I slipped and fell on a patch of ice and landed on my butt. It was Tic's turn to laugh. He laughed so hard that he had to grab onto the fence for support. I gave him a look that made him lower down to a quiet chuckle. He steadied himself and put out his hand for me to grab. So I took it, but I didn't let him pull me up, I pulled him down into the snow next to me.
"That's what you get for laughing Tic." He looked at me and smiled.
"yeah, I supposed I deserved that." He stood up then helped me up. As I stood up I felt the air against my skin once again and realized that I had no jacket and was covered in snow. Tic noticed too, and as soon as he did he unzipped his hoodie and handed it to me. I pushed it away."It's ok Tic, I can go back and get mine."
"no, please just use it, I'm sweating underneath it. I only wear it to please my mom." Reluctantly I took it and slid it on. As soon as i did I was thankful. It was warmer than mine would have been. I looked up to thank him only to find all the snow that was over him had melted. I didn't say anything to him, but in my mind I thought 'Yet another thing for me to think of...' as we walked to school, not knowing that as soon as we got their something was to change, and not for the good.
