"Woo! Yeah!!" I yelled loudly, the cold air blowing my face, as I shoved my gloved hand into the air. The red and yellow snowboard that was stuck under my feet was swishing in the snow as I swiveled and scurried around the rocks and distractions in my path. My two best friends, Sara and Ryan, were on either side of me, whooping and hollering like me, their boards splashing freezing white ice around them. My red cap was blowing off, so i quickly slapped my hand against my loosening hat.
"Yeah! Go Elizabeth!" I heard Sara scream beside me.I whipped my head around and gave a giddy thumbs up. She grinned and watched as the slope came closer every second. When it arrived, I let go of my hat and jumped into a back flip, my hair sprawling out around my pink face. I landed perfectly, snow splashing up on my suit. I shook my hair and looked up at Ryan. He smiled and yelled "I could do better than that!" I laughed to myself and looked out in front of me, knowing it was time to stop, but I didn't want to. I was having way to much fun.
My older brother Andrew was waiting at the bottom of the hill, leaning on his silver truck, checking out a girl walking by. Sara picked up a snowball and threw it as hard as she could, nailing Andrew in the face. Ryan and I rolled on the ground laughing, as Andrew threw a snowball right back at her. We were all still laughing as we piled into the truck.
"Hey, let's get ice cream!" Ryan joked.
"Oh please. As much snow as you ate today, there is NO way you would want ice cream." Sara laughed. Everyone cracked up. Ryan scraped muddy snow off the bottom of his boot and threw it at Sara's face. Everyone laughed even harder. Ryan's green eyes were radiant and bright. Sara leaned over me to slap him in the back of the head. He shot me a CUTE, crooked half-smile, that i had a hard time resisting, and push his golden-brown locks away from his glowing eyes. He used that same smile on me when he dared me to swing off of a rope from his tree house, and later broke my leg. He knew I would do what ever he wanted when he used that smile, and he was right.
Andrew cranked up the volume on the radio. We all bobbed our heads together with the music, singing the words we knew as loudly as we could. Ryan rolled down the window and stuck his head out, letting the wind blow his hair around his face. When he pulled his head back in, his hair was sticking up in random places. Sara leaned her head back and laughed. Her green braces sparkled. She attempted to push her brown hair out of her eyes, but her short cut bangs weren't going back without a fight.
"Gahh! I am so tired of these stupid bangs! I am almost ready to shave my head." Sara joked, in a slightly frustrated tone.
"I wanna see that. I would laugh my head off if you went Brittany Spears on us, Sara." Ryan smirked. Sara giggled and punched him in the arm. He shrieked and fake sobbed. I rolled my eyes and looked out my window, watching the big, orange sun set on the horizon.
"So, what's the plan? Am I taking you guys home or what?" Andrew asked.
"Nah, we were planing on going shopping tomorrow, so we'll just stay at your house." Sara shrugged.
About five minutes into the drive, Sara and Ryan had both fallen asleep. I was exhausted, just about every muscle in my body was aching and cold, but i was enjoying watching Ryan sleep to much to sleep myself. I admired his gold-brown hair and the way it was flipped to the left side of his perfectly round head. I watched his muscular chest move up and down as he breathed. Almost suddenly, his head slid down the seat and landed on my shoulder. I carefully laid my head on his and smiled, thinking it might be okay to sleep for a while.
