Chapter One: A New School


The snowflake on my forehead glowed slightly white. Ugh, I'm too hot. I need to be cold. My blood has to be almost frozen, my body temperature low. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. I released it, blowing icy air into my room. Everything froze. The temperature began to drop dramatically; the coldness felt good.

I can't let my body get too hot or I'll get sick. My parents don't understand why I like it so cold and why my skin is freezing to the touch; but what do they understand about me anyway. My power is coldness, ice, and snow. I can freeze everything and make it melt. My skin is almost as pale as a corpse, my lips slightly blue, my eyes a freezing cold, icy, blue and my hair is a whitish blond with tint of snowy blue. Everything about me is cold. Even my name fits me, Glacier.

I can't stand the heat it makes me feel sick. I hate summer. During that season I have to lower my body temperature even lower. During winter I hardly have to do anything at all. The coldness is already there.

Every night I fly up into the clouds. I freeze the moisture around me into ice. Sometimes I'll fly slow and enjoy the scenery while other times I'll fly as fast as I can in the starry sky.

Tomorrow I start a new school. My family tends to move around a lot, mostly for my parents jobs, but occasionally for me. I don't really mind. It just means I get a fresh new start and can fix the mistakes that happened at other schools. I plan on lying low, not being noticed, not getting evolved and especially not getting close to anyone. I've learned enough times that making friends just causes me more trouble. Like when I was finally getting close to this girl some alien had to come and try to kidnap me. I didn't show any of my powers, I simply ran, but when he tried to use my friend against me, well I froze him solid. Nobody really knew what happened, thank goodness. I pretty much disappeared after that, literally. That was the one time we moved for me. Weird things seem to happen to me all the time. That's why I don't want to be noticed.

I fell asleep with my ipod in my ears. I dreamt of nothing that night. All I saw was darkness as I slept. I woke when I heard my mom knock on my door and yell at me to get up. I slowly opened my eyes and starred at my surroundings. I sat up and shoved my one blanket away. I touched my feet to my floor; it was warm. Without even thinking I immediately covered my room with a layer of ice. I sighed in comfort as the cold touched me. I stood and walked to my closet. I began to slip my pajama shirt off my body leaving my breasts exposed. I put a snow-white bra on and quickly strapped it on me. My breasts weren't big at all, if anything they were kind of on the small side, but I thought they made me look cute just the same. I slipped on a milky-white dress that had pale blue sleeves and lining despite how cold it was outside. Remember I like everything cold. I hoped the dress would make me seem less pale. I wore high pale blue socks with some small white furry boots. I'm pretty sure you can tell what my favorite color is now huh; it's every shade of white there is. I brushed my long hair and tried to cover my face a bit with it. I didn't bother with make-up. I don't wear any.

I ate a small breakfast of cereal. I only eat cold food; I don't like to eat anything hot. If the food hast to be cooked then I freeze it after it's cooked. I was defiantly going to come home for lunch. I left the house once my teeth were brushed and my bag was on my shoulders. My backpack is white with blue snowflakes all over it. I know it doesn't make since in spring but I don't care. I'm glad it's fall, I hope it will snow soon. If it doesn't I'll probably make it snow.

I walked to school slowly and tried to keep my hair in my face. I always hated the first few weeks of school, everyone would stare at me because I was new and people would introduce themselves to me. Ugh, I hated it. It felt like every one noticed me. People kept smiling and saying hi. I just wanted to disappear. I walked into the office and got my schedule. I looked down the list of classes I had. My eyes stopped at the word Drama. I starred at the word and groaned, I hated acting and I could never get up in front of people. This was the worst class I could've pretty much gotten. At least my other elective was Drawing and Design. I had signed up for art, but my other options must have been all full. So they must have picked Drama for me instead. I looked at a map I held in my left hand. I was trying to figure out where my classes were. I found my first period ok. The rest of my periods weren't too hard to find. I was glad that none of my teachers so far had introduced me to the class.

I groaned again when it was time for Drama. I dragged my feet along to that class. The teacher smiled at me and introduced herself as Ms. Tina. I didn't smile at all, but I did tell her my name was Glacier. When every one was in the class Ms. Tina introduced me to every one. She pointed to each student and said their name, as if I was supposed to remember them. Then she introduced me. Oh I hated this. This was making me nervous. When she was done with introductions she passed out parts to a play called First Love. I sighed, I already knew what this play was going to about and I didn't like it. I was glad when that class was over.

I had Life fitness this semester. I knew I would have to hold back in that class. I could lift more weight then the strongest boys in the class. No one and I mean NO ONE was stronger than me. I had figured this out in junior high when we did some weight lifting. I was also a very fast runner. I would always get the most laps on the run days or the least time. It was just me. I went into the girl's locker room and changed quickly. By the way some of the girls looked at me I could tell that they had noticed how pale I really was. Wearing a t-shirt and shorts didn't help especially when they were black. I tried to ignore them, but it seemed that eyes were peering at me everywhere. I wanted to yell, stop looking at me, but I didn't, I simply looked away from the people starring at me. Today was our running day. The rout was around the whole school. Everyone had to run it in less then 26 minutes. This would be a breeze for me. I could probably run it in 10 minutes. Outside everyone was wearing sweats and a jacket, but me. Almost every one I could see was cold. I wasn't cold, but since when have I ever been cold. I'll get too hot, but never cold.

When it was time to start running I bolted to the front of everyone and I was soon out of his or her sight. I ran almost as fast as I could, the wind blew in my face and my hair swayed behind me. My breathing was pretty even the whole time. I knew it was almost cold enough to snow. I took a deep breath and blew out icy air into the sky. After a minute small snowflakes started to drift down from the sky. I shut my eyes and made the snowflakes bigger. I finished the run in 9 minutes. I was a bit sweaty from the run. The snow that landed on my skin cooled me down.

I had Drawing and Design next. Every one was working with colored pencils. The teacher told me to draw a picture of what I wanted to do for my colored pencil art piece. I starred at my sheet of paper for a few minutes thinking of what to draw. I drew myself in kind of a comic character way. I drew myself in the air with my head looking to the sky blowing out a stream of icy air. Snow formed around my hands. In the picture I wore a dress made of snow with the sleeves made of ice. The snow dress was decorated with pretty blue flowers that only grew during winter. I drew the landscape of a forest. Big pine trees all around the drawing of me and snow drifting down from the sky. At the bottom of the drawing I wrote Ice Princess in big frilly letters.

In the winter when there is a lot of snow on the ground I will always go out into the woods and play this made up game. I know I'm too old for it, but I still do, it's just something I've always done. I've always called myself The Ice Princess, since I was really young. In the woods I'd make a great castle out of snow and ice, I'd decorate it in the small blue flowers that only grew during the snow season. I'd also decorate it with icicles. I would pretend that this was my kingdom and I had returned from a great adventure. I would build people out of the snow to be my subjects and we would celebrate my return by a great festival.

The teacher stood over me as I worked. I mixed blues, whites, greens, and grays. My picture was a winter wonderland. "

Interesting drawing, Glacier" said my teacher, "where did you come up with it".

I smiled and looked up at her, "it was kind of a dream I had one time" I lied. The drawing was no dream, it was real; it was me.

I was glad when lunch arrived. I flew all the way home and phased through the front door quickly. I ate cold pizza. It was nice to be able to be home for a minute. After I ate quickly, I floated up into the air and meditated. I whispered my magic word. Yea, I have a magic word, it's only one short word, that's it. My magic word is Icella (Ice-Ella) very simple. I don't have to say my magic word all the time, just sometimes when I need to use more of my power and plus the word simply makes me feel better. I made sure to set a timer so I wouldn't miss the rest of the day off school even though I wanted to.

The timer went off what only felt like a few minutes but had actually been 20. I flew most of the way to school and walked quickly the rest. I had 2 more classes, Math and Science. I worked hard in those 2 classes. They were actually sort of challenging, finally something to actually think about. I hate being bored in my classes but it seems that's going to happen a lot this year, oh well I guess I can just draw instead.

I drew many things in my notebook during the school day. I drew winter scenes, creatures of myth and myself with my powers. I probably drew on five pages. Each page was crammed with drawings, doodles and sketches.

I was glad when school was over. I pretty much darted right out of there. There was a pretty good amount of snow on the ground thanks to me. I flopped right down in my backyard into the snow. I heaved a sigh; it felt wonderful to lie in the cold wet snow. I soon covered myself in it and starred up at the sky and smiled as more snowflakes landed on top of me. I have no idea how long I laid there, a few hours at least. I lay there till my mom found me. She stood over me and told me to get out of the cold and to go get warm in the house. I didn't move.

"I'm not cold" I said.

"Get into the house" my mom said again.

"I'm not cold" I insisted.

My mother was growing impatient, I could tell.

" Now!" she yelled.

I jumped up out of the snow and ran into the house and up to my room.

I wasn't happy; I wasn't even close to being ready to go into the house. I leaned out my open window and starred at the falling snowflakes. I knew what I was doing tonight.
