I was walking home from school. Thinking about how much I wanted to just skip school tomorrow to have a snowball fight, or go SLEDDING!

But I would never do that, so I could only hope.

It was cold, cold enough for snow even, but in Tennessee, it doesn't snow much. We usually only get frost.

Winter Break was in a week, and it was my favorite vacation. I loved Winter. Even more than Summer vacation!

We always went to my grandmother's house. There was lots of snow where she lived. So I always had the chance to see them.

Santa Claus, Jack Frost.

The subject was in my mind now, and this one was particularly hard to get out.

"Why doesn't anyone believe?" I muttered under my breath.

It had always bugged me that people didn't believe. Of course they're real! You just have to believe in them!

I sped up, it was getting really cold now.

"I'll prove them all wrong, one day. I'll prove they're real!"

A snowflake landed on my nose, and suddenly, it was numb with cold. I brought my hands up to my nose and rubbed it.

A soft thump came from behind me, but I didn't hear it.

I continued walking, rubbing my hands together.

Why was it so cold?

Sounds came from the woods on my left side. It got even colder.

It only gets this cold where grandma lives...

Finally I just stopped. Something wasn't right.

If someone bad was out here, I was done for. No other living being was in sight.

A twig snapped behind me, and I whirled around.

A guy wearing a blue hoodie with bluish whitish hair was standing there, his head was cocked to one side like a puppy that didn't understand a trick.

"Who are you?" I asked.

He looked surprised. "You can see me?"

I raised an eyebrow and said in my most sarcastic voice, "No I can't see you but I just happen to know you're there."

He smirked, and suddenly my knees felt weak. what is happening to me?

"Frost, Jack Frost. At your service."

I lowered my shoulders.

"Jack Frost...?" I whispered.

He shrugged.

"Yeah, I'm Frostie."

I cocked my head as well.

"Well if you're Frost, prove it."

He looked at me, exasperated.

The next thing I knew his arm was around my waist and we were hovering fifty feet in the air.

"Woah! Okay, uh, your Jack Frost!" I yelped, looking down at the path I was standing on a second ago.

He laughed and started lowering down.

I looked up and almost fell out of his grip because we were a little too close.

"Ah, sorry." He laughed.

I jumped down to the path.

"Hey, d'ya wanna go sledding? Or maybe have a snowball fight?"

I looked at him with wide eyes. "How did you know...?"

"Hey I'm Jack Frost! Trust me, I know alot. I know you've believed in me all your life, and you love Winter, you're an artist, and you're a swimmer.

My eyes got even wider, if that was possible.

"So what about that snowball fight?" He asked, winking.

My heart melted.

"Bring it!" I joked.

He grabbed me again and we took off for the park.

The wind blew in my face and I felt free, like a bird. Like a... A, Spirit! You idiot! Frostie is a spirit! Great, he's probably listening to this weird conversation I'm having in my head right now!

I turned towards him and he winked, laughing at the look on my face.

We had reached the park. Jack started to descend, but just before he landed, I realized where he was about to go down.

"Wait Jack!"

The snowbank we landed on broke off, and we went tumbling down the hill.

"Woooohoooooo! YEEEEAAAAAH!" I shouted as I rocketed down the slope. Suddenly I stopped, and I realized with a great deal of blushing that I had slid right under where Jack had stopped.

At first I was embarrassed, but then, after seeing a snow covered jack and after him seeing a snow covered me, we both cracked up.

"THAT WAS EPIC!" I shouted. "Can we do it again? PLEEEEEASE?!"

Jack laughed. "Maybe this time we should use a sled."

He rolled over and started moving his staff around in the air.

A sled made out if ice appeared, glowing blue.

"Woah..." I whispered.

He smiled and we dragged it up the hill.

I got on and kicked off, but just before I arced over the edge, Jack jumped on with me. My back was against his chest.

"WUAAAAAAAAAAAGH!" I yelled as we gained speed. Jack was making little slopes and jumps for the sled to go on.

Jack made a really big jump for the last stretch for the hill, and we flipped.

I flew a few feet before rolling down the rest if the hill.

Jack jumped up and grabbed my hand, then he gasped.

"Oh no, your hand!" My smile faltered as Jack helped me up.

Ah great, I had some severe frostbite.

"I'm sorry, I need to take you home!" He said, almost sadly.

"Naw, it's no big deal! I mean, that's what I get for hangin' out with Frostbite himself!"

He picked me up and asked me where my house was.

I sighed, and pointed to a small neighborhood.

"Second house on the block, you can't miss it."

We flew down to my doorstep, when I remembered my window was open.

"I need to show you something, my window is open, can you take me up to my room?"

He smiled and flew me up to my window.

I hopped in and rummaged around in my drawer.

"Got it!" I said.

I walked back to my window.

"I was seven, when someone gave this to me, at the park. It was a snow day."

He took the snowflake necklace from me and his eyes widened.

"That was you?" He asked, unclasping the necklace.

I smiled. "You said that you would see me again, and I waited, for years. And now I'm seventeen. And I kept on believing, a spirit doesn't break a promise. Ever."

He put the necklace on me, now it was glowing blue.

"Well, a spirit can't break a promise, because if they do, they get hunted down and trust me, it is not good to be hunted down for eternity." He said, in a very serious tone.

"It doesn't sound too pretty!" I laughed, falling backwards onto my bed.

"Well, i'll see you again. Soon. That's a promise." He said.

He must've realized how tired i was, because I sort of dozed off, and when I woke up and looked to my window, he was gone.
