My Ice Angel Part 1

I can still remember the way she used to touch my cheek. And how her soft lips touched mine. Or the way she wrapped me in her arms when I felt lonely. I can almost feel her soft, fresh-smelling hair brushing against my face. It's silky strands running through my fingers. I can hear her beautiful singing voice being carried by the wind. ::Voice breaks:: How can I ever forget the beautiful reflections she use to cast on the face of this lake? Or how beautiful her eyes were when she stared into mine?::Looks down, shakes his head and sighs:: How could I've let her go?

"Matt! Matt! Wake up!" I heard the loud voice which belongs to Tai, my best friend. I was too tired to wake up though. So I just pulled the covers over my head and covered my ears with my pillow without opening my eyes. But a few seconds later, the sheets were harshly pulled off the bed. Then, someone was shaking me so violently I fell off my bed.

"All right, all right! I give up." I said as I opened my eyes. I threw my hands up in a surrender gesture.

"You better. I was going to go get boiling water if that didn't work. Now hurry up. The whole gang is waiting outside." he said with in a hurrying tone.

"Wha-? Oh yeah! Today is Saturday and we have to go to that church place to volunteer!" Matt asked and answered himself.

"The 'church place' is called the St. Mary Church. And yes, we have to go volunteer. So get your lazy bum up and get dressed. We're all waiting for you in the living room." a new voice said. I turned my head and saw my brother T.K. waiting at my bedroom door.

"Okay, okay. You guys win. Now both of you, get out so I can get dressed." I said with an irritated air. They walked out the room and closed the door behind them. After they left, I took out the outfit that I prepared yesterday-a large, lime green sweater with a pair of old, black snowpants. After I got dressed, I went to the bathroom and combed my hair and brushed my teeth. I put in some extra gel since I knew that Mimi was going. I really didn't want her to think that I'm a slob. When I was done, I double checked everything to make sure nothing is wrong.

When I finally went out to the living room, I found all my friends waiting patiently on the couch. Mimi, Sora, and Kari were skimming through a fashion magazine which they probably bought at the corner store. Izzy was typing madly on his laptop. Tai and T.K. just sat there switching channels on the television. Joe was reading a book on cancer.

None of them really noticed that I came in the room until Tai looked up and exclaimed, "Finally! Now let's go before we're late." All of us put on our coats and stepped outside. There was a ankle height sheet of white snow covering our lawn. There was a still a little snow fall, which made our entire neighborhood seem like a Christmas snowglobe.

When we got to the church, we were instantly crowded with little kids. Why were we so attractive? Because we promised we'd bring them down to the frozen lake to ice skate. They didn't know how to, but I promised them that we'll teach them. The problem is, only me, Mimi, Tai, and Sora knows how to ice skate. Joe and Izzy volunteered to be counselors for those who weren't going. T.K. and Kari wanted to tag along so they can take pictures. That's why I refuse to fall today.

When we got there, the snow had stopped. All the kids were very excited. We had trouble calming them down and getting organized. But I have to admit, the view was definitely amazing. The lake was so smooth it worked like a gigantic mirror.

Somehow, we got them all organized. We split up into four groups, each containing five children. I had all girls. And for some reason, they seemed to not be able to let go of my foot for the first two minutes. Girls, I just don't get them. Anyhow, I began by teaching them how to walk on the ice with skates. They were a couple of smart kids and they caught on in less than two minutes. Then, we began to glide. Pretty soon, they began to skate on their own.

After all the kids learned, we decided to let them have some free time. Sora and Tai volunteered to take first shift to make sure they don't go too far out into the lake or to places where the ice was too thin. Luckily, before Mimi and my shift, the kids got tired and decided to rest on the edge of the lake.

After finishing their lunch, they demanded a show, a figure skating show. I looked over to Tai and Sora, but they just shrugged. They weren't that good on ice and they didn't feel like being embarrassed in front of all these kids. I was pretty good, but I really didn't feel like it. Before I could ask her, Mimi got up and went in front of all the children so they can all have a good view.

She began with a bow. But without further ado, she began to glide across the ice. She stretched out her arms into a wing position and balanced on one leg. She looked like she was soaring across the sky rather than skating across the ice. She began to twist and turn swiftly through the ice. I never had much feelings for figure skating but this was just amazing. In the middle of Mimi's performance, snow began drifting from the sky. At that moment, she wasn't a figure skater anymore. She was a ballerina in the center of a snowglobe. Every one of her graceful and swift movement was mesmerizing.

Right then, my body took control. I got up and began to glide towards Mimi. I took her in my arms and lifted her up into the air. We skated like we've been practicing for years. We were amazingly compatible. I felt my heart beating faster every second my hand touched her.

Then, a disaster happened. Right when I was on the opposite side of the lake, Mimi's side's ice began to crack. Before we knew it, it made a huge hole right under Mimi's feet. With a scream, Mimi fell into the water. She began sinking quickly. I glided across the ice as fast as my feet would move. But when I got there, we could only see her arms from elbow up splashing wildly in distress. Then, she sank all together. Without thinking, I jumped into the large hole and began to swam down. I felt my fingers intertwining with her fingertips at last. I grabbed her closer to me and wrapped my arm around her waist. I realized that the water was freezing and I was running out of breath. So I swam my fastest to reach the surface. My view became blurrier and blurrier......

A few minutes later, I opened my eyes to find myself wrapped in a warm towel. Sora was looking down at me. When she realized that I opened my eyes, she called for Tai. I sat up with a terrible headache. I squeezed my eyes tight and opened them when I realized that I didn't see Mimi anywhere.

My lips felt frozen and stiff, but I managed to mumble out a few words. "Where's Mimi?" I asked no one in particular. As if an answer to my question, Mimi pops out from behind me. She still looked a little pale, but she still had that reassuring smile on her face as usual.

"Right here." she replied. She looked down and seemed to blush. Then she gave me a little peck on the cheek. I was completely stunned. All I could do was stare at her, which probably made her blush even more. But I couldn't help myself. I simply couldn't believe that happened! There was a silence. "Thank you for being so brave." She said breaking the silence. Then she looked up. We caught each other's stare. That was the first time we stared into each other's eyes. And I knew it wouldn't be the last time. From that moment on, I knew that she'd be in my heart, for as long as time goes.
