I looked around and smiled. Every where I looked there was snow covering the ground. It was beautiful. For the first time in my life, I touched the snow and shivered. I've never been so cold, yet so happy. The park was empty and silent, just the way I liked it. Texas was warm and rarely cold, but here, it was different. Everything was cold and everything was white, just like an angels wings. I started walking around the park with my boots crunching in the snow. It was a sound I wasn't use to, but quickly came to like. I came closer to the lake, wondering what it looked like. Of course it was frozen, but one thing I didn't suspect to see was a boy standing in the middle of the lake.

He had snow white hair and held a staff taller than the both of us, but what boggled me the most was his bare feet. He must be freezing cold. Soon after, he caught me staring at him. He turned around and tilted his head, slightly confused. I wanted to look away, but found myself aw struck by the color of his ice blue eyes.

It was rather embarrassing, but I couldn't seem to look away. After what seemed to be an eternity, I looked down, just to find myself looking back up, but he was gone. I blinked in confusion and shook my head. I must have been seeing things, because no one in their right mind would even touch the frozen lake, let alone stand on it. I turned around, ready leave, when my nose bumped into the chest of a boy. I stepped back, slightly startled.

"Ouch." I whined while rubbing my nose. "Sorry." I looked up and froze. It was the same boy from only seconds ago. His eyes widened at my apology as he smiled happily.

"You... Can see me?" I stepped back, slightly confused.

"Of course." He stepped forward and looked me in the eyes, searching them carefully.

"Are you sure you can see me?" He asked again, looking me up and down. I was confused by his question, but answered it any way.

"Yeah. Why wouldn't I?"

"Because most people don't believe." I tilted my head.

"Believe in what?"

"In me."

I smiled, trying to understand what he was talking about. "Alright, I'll bight. Who are you?" He smiled and leaned on his staff.

"Guess." He leaned against his staff and stared at me, like he was playing some kind of game.

"Um, alright. Lets see... You have white hair, walk around barefooted in the snow, and dangerously stand on frozen lakes, so my first guess would be - crazy?" He laughed and began shaking his head.

"Not even close."

I looked down at his feet, to see if he was shaking from the cold, but he just stood there like any normal person would.

"Aren't you cold?" I asked as he laughed.

"Am I cold?" He repeated with a grin, like I just said something funny. "Whats your name?" He asked with cricked smile.

"My name?" I looked down, unsure if I should give a stranger that kind of information, but before I could stop myself, I was already giving it. "Paige." I looked up to see his eyes brighten.

"Paige, huh? I like that name!" At that moment he began to circle around me, like I was a puzzle he couldn't solve.

"What are you doing?" I asked as he went around.

"Trying to figure something out." He said while stopping in front of me, looking me up and down. "How old are you?" He asked with a hypnotic stare. I looked away, blinking my eyes and returning to reality.

"Fifteen." I breathed rather than spoke.

"Fifteen? Wow, that's unbelievable. Most people stop believing around twelve, and yet here you are." He sounded rather surprised, but I couldn't understand why, let alone what he was talking about. "Wait until I tell North!"

"Whose North?" I asked as he leaned against a tree and smiled.

"He's head of the guardians, but I believe you know him as Santa." I looked up at him with my dark brown eyes.

"Santa?" I said in disbelief. "So what are you, Jack Frost?" I asked sarcastically as he just smiled, secretly answering with a yes. "You've got to be kidding me." I turned around and began shaking my head. He wasn't just crazy, he was insane.

"Ok, really. Who are you." I asked as he began to walk toward me.

"Jack Frost." I rolled my eyes as he came closer.

"Jack Frost is just a myth." He stopped and frowned.

"A myth? Is that what you really think?" He then began to observe me with his eyes, making me slightly embarrassed. "How else do you explain all this snow?"

I wanted to answer scientifically, but found myself drawing a blank. When it came to science I found myself unable to do anything.

"I - I don't know." I blinked shamefully. If I disagree with something I should at least be able to explain why. "But I never said I didn't believe, I just said he was a myth."

"So you do believe!" He sounded more exited than he did before.

I turned around and huffed. He was really cute, but at the same time, naive. There's no way I was about to believe a word he was telling me. I turned back around and froze. I thought he was by the tree, but now he was only inches from my face, staring into my eyes and making me melt. I blinked and looked away, slightly flustered by how close he was standing.

"Hey, why are you blushing?" he asked with a grin as I looked away and covered my cheeks.

"I-I'm not! It's just really cold!" It wasn't a complete lie, it was very cold.

"You know, you'r one lucky girl." He said while stepping back.

"I am?" I asked as he nodded.

"Of course! It's not everyday you get to meet Jack Frost!" I closed my eyes and laughed, when I reopened them he was resting on a tree limb high above the ground.

"Woah, how did you do that?"

"Do what?" He asked while swinging his leg back and forth.

"Climb that tree within seconds. I couldn't even hear you move."

"That's because I didn't climb, I flew!" I laughed as he just stared down at me, amused.

"What?" I asked as he jumped back down. He started walking around with his staff, looking at me suspiciously.

"Your not from around here, are you?" I shook my head and began to explain.

"Not really. I just moved here. I'm originally from Texas." The man, claiming to be Jack Frost, snapped his fingers and grinned.

"That explains it!" He exclaimed happily, like he just solved the puzzle.

"Explains what?" I asked, confused once again.

"Why your skin is so tan. Texas is always hot and sunny. Because of that, the snow I make melts. That's why I'm here. Burgess is great for snow! Always cold and rarely warm."

"I thought Jack Frost could make any place cold."

"I can. It just won't stay. Not in places like Texas, any way." I rolled my eyes and sat down on a bench.

"Alright, if your Jack Frost, prove it." I then crossed my arms and grinned. There's no way he's jack frost, and now I'm gonna prove it.

"Alright, but first, lets make a bet." I tilted my head at his sudden offer.

"A bet?" I asked as he nodded.

"Yeah! If I can prove that I'm Jack Frost, you have to come back to the park whenever I want!"

"And if you can't?" I asked as he just leaned on his staff, looking at me with his bright blue eyes and perfect smile.

"I'm Jack Frost. I can do anything." He said with a way to confidant grin. "Now, are you sure you want me to prove that I'm Jack Frost?" I rolled my eyes and nodded as he walked closer. "Alright. But you asked for it!"

I then started to move away as he came closer. "What are you-" Suddenly, I found my self hanging for dear life as Jack Frost started flying us threw the air. I looked down with wide eyes. "Oh my - Jack Frost?" I breathed silently, both scared and exited.

"Hold on tight!" He said while flying faster threw Burgess, doing flips and all kinds of swirls. I then started laughing as I realized that I wasn't only flying threw the air, but I was flying threw the air with Jack Frost!

"This is amazing!" I shouted to the sky, absolutely amazed.

"If you think this is great, just wait until we reach the hill!"

"Hill? What hill?!" He then started flying down faster than he was flying forward, causing me to close my eyes in fear.

"Woah! Slow down!" I covered my eyes with his jacket, trying to avoid the terrible crash landing that I thought would happen. Seconds later and I found that the wind came to a still stop.

"Paige, open your eyes. We're here." I shook my head, refusing to open them in fear that we might still be in the air. He then took my hands and made me shiver.

I opened my eyes and the first thing I saw was his beautiful blue eyes. It was a moment that I never wanted to end. He smiled back, causing me blush and look away, hoping that he didn't notice. At that moment, I looked out to see all of Burgess.

"Wow..." I could barely even speak as the sun began to set behind the small town. "It's... Beautiful!"

"Do you believe me now?" He asked with a grin as I nodded slowly. "Best part is the sunset, don't you agree?" Wait a minute, the sunset!

"Oh no! I have to get back home!" I stood up and started to panic. "I was only suppose to be gone for ten minutes! My parents are gonna kill me!" I looked back as Jack began to rise.

"Alright then. Lets go." Jack stood up and put out his arms, like I was suppose to let him pick me up. That's when I realized that he wanted us to fly.

"Oh no - not again! I'd rather walk." Jack smiled and shrugged.

"Alright, but you should know. It's gonna take about thirty minutes just to get to the outside of town. If you where suppose to be back in ten minutes that means you live close to the park, meaning you live near the middle of Burgess. It'll take you at least forty minutes from their." I blinked as he began to explain. "But! With me, I can get you there in under a minute!" Under a minute? That must mean really fast!

"Er... Alright... But - WOAH!" Before I could say not too fast, I was already soaring threw the air with my arms around Jack Frost.

He laughed as I clenched to his shirt with my face berried in his chest. "Going down!" I felt him go faster and my heart quicken. The worst part about flying is always the landing.

"Er - Paige, you can let go now." I opened my eyes and found my self clung to his shirt. I pulled away and scoffed.

"Oh - sorry." I brushed a strand of hair away from my face and behind my ear.

"Don't worry about it. Now, where do you live?" I looked up to see him staring at me.

"Not too far away. Just a few minutes." He smiled and took my hand.

"Then we should get walking!"

"We?" I smiled bashfully at the very word. The way he sad it was just amazing. Wait a minute... Is he holding my hand? *Blush*...

"Yeah. I'm not about to let you walk to your house alone." I couldn't shake the butterfly's in my stomach.

I've never felt this way before. Now that I think about, I've never even spoke to a boy without tripping over my own words. On the way back home Jack balanced at the tip top of a thin wooden fence, as if it where nothing. Two minutes later and we where there.

"See you tomorrow." I looked at Jack and tilted my head.

"Tomorrow?" He nodded and began to ruffle my hair.

"Don't tell me you forgot already? You have to come to the park whenever I want, and tomorrow seams perfect." I smiled and nodded.

"Then I'll see you tomorrow." I turned around and went inside, just to find myself jumping around and squealing like a little girl. Best. Day. Ever!
