Chapter one: a storm is coming
'So you will get a test next week about this. Write that down. If you did, you can all go.'
Mr. Balder laid down the chalk and turned back to his desk. Most students were already out of their seats, heading for the door. Jenny stood up from her chair and looked at her friend. 'Let's go, the others will probably already be waiting.' Her friend, Sarah stood up as well. 'You're in a rush today. Something going on?' she teased. She knew Jenny was seeing a guy and would go to him after school. Jenny rolled with her eyes. 'You are so annoying. Come on!'
They both walked down the staircases of their high school. It was their last year and exams were coming up. Sarah and Jenny were best friends. Together with some others they held a very strong friendship bond. They have been together since the first year of high school, except for Jenny, who Sarah already knew since preschool. These seventeen years of her life had been wonderful so far.
Downstairs they were waiting on the two. Jenny hurried to her locker but as usual Sarah was done sooner. She walked over to the others. 'So it's like five degrees cooler,' Kristen just said. 'Really?' Sarah asked pulling up an eyebrow. She turned around to face her. 'Yeah. You shall see when we go outside.'
And cold it was indeed. Once Jenny was done they walked outside and cool it was. It was already half march but it felt like December. Jenny shivered and looked disappointed. 'There goes my idea of a nice walk in the woods. Better stay inside.' Everyone was already wearing spring jackets so most were rubbing their arms and clouds of breathing were visible. Kristen looked over at Sarah. 'Sarah, aren't you freezing?' Now everyone was looking at her. She looked down and noticed she only wore a thin vest today. She started hugging herself for warmth. 'Yeah I am. Let's go home.' She walked quickly to her bicycle. Not because the cold, but because she didn't like this attention.
At home she fell on the couch. Sarah's little sister, Miley was watching the new Disney movie Frozen. Not really interested she joined her watching it. Sometimes she would glance outside.
What an odd storm. Nothing for this time of the year. She looked at her sister that only focused on the TV. She looked at her hands. It can't be me. I didn't do this…right?
She shook her head. She wouldn't even know how to do something this big. She looked back at the movie. The character Elsa was singing her song let it go. 'The cold never bothered me anyway,' she sung. Sarah chuckled at that.
