A snowy day
It was a cold, snowy day. Bodil walked across the snow breathing heavily into his hands, trying to keep them warm. As he walked, the snow crunched softly underneath him. He grinned to himself, and wondered when Baki was coming back to town. A rough breeze blew across his back, sending cold shivers down his spine. Then he saw her. It was Ashley! She had actually come to the spot. He grinned, and quickened his pace. Then he suddenly stopped. He heard footsteps and saw someone else approach Ashley. It was Mitch. Bodil felt the blood drain out of his face as Mitch leaned over to talk Ashley, hand on the tree. She seemed to look a little awkward, Bodil thought. And then it hit him. Mitch was trying to kiss Ashley! He couldn't bear to watch it, so he ran away. All that pounded in his head was: She hates you. She likes Mitch more than you.
"Martin? Martin!" Ashley yelled after him. She took off after him, using as much of her strength in her legs as she could, calling after him at the same time she was running. Mitch just stood near the tree, a smirk on his face. After what felt like forever to him, he stopped running, out of breath, and sat down on the ground, tears rolling down his face. Thank god, he thought, that I'm wearing my glasses. I wouldn't want anyone nearby to see that I'm crying. He sat there for what seemed like hours, crying, until he heard a soft voice next to him. "Martin? Are you okay?" Ashley asked with concern in her voice. Bodil mumbled angrily: "Why don't you just go back to making out with Mitch?" Ashley looked surprised. "Making out with Mitch? Are you nuts?" she giggled. "I like you better than Mitch." Bodil felt his face grow warm. "He was trying to kiss me, but when I saw you running, I pushed him away and chased after you." Bodil's face suddenly turned a bright shade of red.
"You ran all that way… for me?" Bodil whispered, slightly embarrassed. Ashley giggled and nodded and seemed to be just as embarrassed as he was. She turned her head away, but Bodil gently turned her head by her chin. He saw her face turn beetroot red before he kissed her. She looked shocked at first, but then she seemed to melt away into the kiss. Both of their hearts were pounding as they were kissing, and when they pulled away, Bodil turned away, face redder than a tomato. Ashley giggled wildly, and then stopped suddenly. "Martin?" He turned around and saw her face pale. He heard her whisper, "Don't look behind you." He heard a snicker from behind, and slowly turned around… To see Mitch right behind him, a smug smile on his face. "Traitor." He mutters towards Ashley. "What!?" Ashley cries. "We weren't even together in the first place!" He shot a look towards her, which made her cringe. And without warning he snatched up Ashley, and hit Bodil on the head. To him, everything seemed lightning fast. Ashley being taken, the hit on the head, and him starting to black out. "Ashley!" He cried out, and his vision started to blur. He heard her cry; "Martin!" before he collapsed on the ground.
