Keely Teslow sat on her bed. She was working on her math assignment. She put her pencil down and went down to the kitchen to grab a pop. She opened the door and grabbed a Dr. Pepper. She glanced over the door when something outside caught her eye. It was snowing. Keely ran to the phone and dialed Phil's number.

Ring...Ring...

P-Hello?

K-It's snowing!

P-Keely?

K-Phil look out your window it's snowing.

P-Your right it is. You wanna come over and run around in it?

Keely laughed

K-Duh! It's the first snow!

P-See you in ten

Keely hung up the phone. She pulled on her jacket, her boots, and her gloves. She began to walk to Phil's. Keely looked at the sky. It was pitch black and the snow was falling softly, in big flakes. She loved the first snow of the year. Somehow she felt like it was capable of anything. A few moments later she arrived at Phil's house. He was on the front steps waiting for her.

P-Hey!

K-Hey Phil, isn't this snow great?

Keely looked up

Phil looked to where Keely was looking.

P-Yeah it sure...OW!

Keely hit Phil with a snowball.

P-Your going down Teslow!

The two began tossing snow balls at each other until they were both exausted. Phil fell to the ground and Keely layed next to him in the snow.

K-I just love the first snow, it makes me think anything could be possible.

P-Yeah, it sure is amazing.

Phil and Keely's eyes locked. Phil thought about kissing Keely, but decided not to. He didn't want to ruin there friendship if she didn't feel the same way about him. Phil broke the eye contact and stood up.

P- I-uh I have to go finish my homework.

K-Yeah me to.

P-See you tommorow at school?

K-See ya.

Keely turned and started to walk back to her house. She thought for sure she would have gotten up the courage to tell him tonight, but once again she chickened out. She sighed and pushed open her front door.

K-I'm home!

KM-In here Keely.

Keely walked to the living room where her mother was watching some made-for-TV christmas movie. Her mom looked up and saw the dissapointment on her daughters face.

KM-Did something happen at Phils Keely?

K-No

Km-Then why do you look so sad?

K-Because

Km-If you wan't to talk I'm here.

K-Thanks mom. I'm tired I think I'm going to go to bed.

Km-Night, I love you

K-I love you too

Keely climbed the stairs to her room and fell asleep.
