1. – This Started It
-This is all I can remember. I don't understand why this happened. Why did I meet you out of all the other people? –
It was snowing. Snowing real hard.
"The snow can't get any whiter," she said from the top of her breath waiting for someone. She sat down on the snowy seats. She clutched her legs towards her chest. Still waiting for him. From the glimpse of her eyes, she spotted some blue and black. She turned over her head, hoping it was him.
"Only a small blue bird" she sighed with disappointment.
Her aqua earmuffs were getting cold as well, but she still waited for him. As time went by, it felt like hours. Now the tips of her fingernails were frozen. Then she heard crunching noises behind her. Not close, but not far either.
"Sorry I took so long" said a voice, a voice which was too familiar.
She smiled at little bit, but tried to cover it. She still sat there waiting for him to come over.
"Your late" she said softly. Then she fell on the white floor.
In surprise he ran towards her. He picked up her light body and shaking it to see if she was awake. Suddenly she opened her eyes innocently looking at him. She blinked two times to show some confusion. Then she kissed him slightly on the cheek. He blushed and turned away, but feeling some happiness inside of him. She gave him a big smile. A smile he never forgot.
He helped her get up, by lending his hand to her.
"So it's a date right?" she asked with curiosity
He didn't say anything, but it was all written over his pale face. She grabbed his arm, and ran towards the juice stand.
The hot chocolate they drank was warm. She started to feel a little hot, but the cold was still stronger. She stared at the snow.
"This is why I love the snow" she said quietly starting at the snowflakes falling lightly to the ground, then melting until it's gone.
He stared at her, wandering what she meant.
Paying the man who owns the juice stand, she saw a glimpse of an item she desired. She walked over to the glass window. She saw the other her on the glass window. Touching the glass lightly with her fingertips, she started at the item. She saw his reflection coming closer.
"You want that?" he asked her, while staring his reflection.
She didn't say anything, she couldn't.
She hung her head low, saying nothing. She was speechless.
"You can't hide it you know" he said checking for money in his leather wallet.
She forced her head to lift up, facing him. All she did was smile.
"No…I want…" she didn't finish her line.
He waited.
"What?" he asked her while staring at her with confusion.
She woke up from her dream. "I…I want you" she finished it with a sweet, happy tone, but to tell you the truth she wasn't happy.
He blushed once more, putting his leather wallet away back into his pocket. They sat down on a wooden bench, which was covered with snow. She stared into his black eyes. She didn't see happiness, but it wasn't emotionless.
"You don't like me, do you," she asked him in a straight tone, looking at what is right in front of her.
He slowly faced her pale face. He didn't answer her question. But he was about to prove it. He stood up, leaving her behind. Just herself.
"I see I have my answer" she said quietly, smiling slightly
She looked up in the sky. The sun was shinning out, for a brand new day.
"This is why I hate the sun…"
