'' Its snowing May!!'' shouted her younger brother Shane. Shane came running in all excited because it was finally snowing. ''Shane why would I care about the snow, its just white cold stuff that falls to the ground'' May said harshly. She got up, looking out at the morning white sky.''What i dont understand is why does everyone get so excited over this snow?''she thougth to herself. She quickly got dressed and threw her pyjamas on the ground not caring about them.May went downstairs to the kitchen to find her mother tidying more than usual. ''mother, why are you cleaning so much??'' May asked curiously. ''my dear someone very important is coming today'' her mother quickly said.'' who?'' May curiously asking her. ''The landlord i want to try and get him to lower the rent, times are though, to much bills to pay, go clean the table dear and put a new white cloth on it please'' her mother said eagerly. May quickly went and took the white cloth from the cupboard underneath the sink and put it on the table. May went to the living room to find her two younger brothers figthing over the blanket. ''Boys please stop figthing i know its cold but please stop figthing a guest will be over soon'' May said patiently. Her brothers looked at her for a moment then continued to figth. May sighed, did her brothers understand how though it is these days to afford things??, guess they dont. A knock came to the door, Shane ran pitter patterely up the hall. He answered the door staring bead eye at the person. ''hello'' said the visitor rather gruffly.''What do you want'' said Shane shly. ''I want to speak to your mother'' the man said impatient

''Mother,mother''shouted Shane. His mother came running out of the kitchen like if there was a fire. She stopped and stared at the tall dark man. ''Hello, are you the landlord?''she asked. ''I am indeed, can I come in?'' the man said coolly. She let him in cautiously. They both went into the kitchen. At that time May came down the stairs looking at the strange guest. May went was about to go into the kitchen, but someone knocked on the door. May went over to answer it and was shocked to see a young gentleman about the same age as her. ''H-h-hello can i help you?'' May asked shyly. ''The man who came in here a few moments ago was my father, can i come in to talk to him?'' the boy asked outspokenly. May let him in without saying another word. He went into the kitchen. May put her hand onto her chest and breathed gently. ''Looks like May likes someone'' teased Shane. ''Shut up Shane'' said May angrily.Shane went upstairs, at that moment May went into the kitchen looking at the boy with passionate eyes, looking at his dark chestnut brown hair and twinkling blue eyes. Her mother was pleading with the landlord to lower the rent. The man's son then got and went over to his father ''Father please lower the rent for these people, be generous'' His son pleaded. It took a few moments for the man to answer, May's mother looked desperately at the landlord. ''Ok I will lower the rent a couple of pounds'' the landlord said hastily. ''Thank you'' said May's mother smiling. ''Well, I better be going'' said the landlord '' come on Jack''. Jack the landlord's son. May was staring at him. '' Jack, Jack, what a nice name for a nice boy'' thougth May in her head. The landlord went out the kitchen door with jack. Before Jack went out the door, he stopped and turned around to May. He gave her a smile and went. May was smiling and had butterflys in her stomach as she was thinking of Jack. Her mother looked at her and said '' I think you will hear alot more about Jack'' and her mother went of laughing. May was thinking the same ''maybe I will hear more of Jack.....'' thought May happily to herself
