Chapter 4: The Heart of Ice

Groggy I awoke and wiped the sleep from my eyes, I looked over to Yuna who was still wrapped up in bed – I never figured Yuna for a bedbug. I saw the dress hung up on the wall I was surprised I had got all the stains out, I yawned and looked at the clock '11:00am'…not bad if you consider I was up to one in the morning. No point in having breakfast, I sighed to myself and went to wake Yuna – my hands hovered above her, forget it, let her sleep, I got changed and left for the grounds.

No classes – super! I took a seat on one of the benches in the fields and took out my lunch I'd got from the cafeteria, not much in the way of a lunch, I thought as I pulled the sandwiches from the bag. "This seat taken?" I looked to see Christie standing with a black dufflebag slung over her shoulder

"Aren't you eating with Helena?" I asked curiously while pointing to Helena and Tina at a table not far from here – Helena had come back early for some reason.

Christie sighed and took the seat opposite without asking and searched around for something in the dufflebag, she was wearing a black leather jacket with blue flames printed on it with matching trousers – she didn't have a top under the jacket. Christie's hands had stopped searching I started to look up to her face, she had a soft expression with a playful smile and her eyes were gazing at me

"Like what you see?" her voice was playful and I almost choked on my own spit. She just laughed slightly and started to look for what so was looking for in the first place, I patted my chest trying to get my breath back. She zipped the dufflebag back up and placed a roll, some ingredients and a can and cup on the bench. Christie reached below the table and pulled something from somewhere on her leg or shoe, she placed a knife on the table and made herself comfy, she split the roll in half with the knife, placed her chosen ingredients on it, opened the can and poured a red liquid into the cup "Tomato juice" she stated at the worried look one my face. She replaced the knife in it's hiding spot and sat up to signal she was done

"Why is Helena back?" I point to towards Helena and Tina

"I wouldn't know, they aren't my friends anymore" Christie takes a bite from her roll

"Why?" I question her.

"Because according to them I kissed a loser and they don't hang out with losers" she says coolly and unemotional, I can't help but feel guilty, she lost her friends because of me…the thought hangs over me as I finish off my lunch.

"Are you really an assassin Christie? Or are you just saying that?" I don't know way I asked that, Christie smiles at me her glass of tomato juice hovering at her lips

"If I told you that," she takes a drink and lowers the glass "I'd have to kill you" the small smile that was on her face has grown and her eyes are sparkling.

"Right……" I pack away my leftovers in a paperbag and place it by my feet, I hear the zipper of Christie's bag and when I come back up she's looking right at me. Her gaze is broken as a heavy bag thuds on the table

"It is much to heavy for me to carry!" Helena puts a hand to her forehead

"Why don't one of yall carry it for her?" Tina stands waiting for a reply, Christie moves the bag over and places her arms on the table giving both an icy stare.

"Are you two a couple now?…never thought YOU'D get a boyfriend Christie! At lest one that lasts more than a night!" Helena teases Christie

"Well as she used you yet? Or is she getting around to that?" Tina looks straight at me

"Um…" I struggle for words, what do I do?!

"What, are you jealous Helena?" Christie turns to her "Jealous that I might get the new guy before you?" she crosses her arms

"Are you saying I'm a slut?!!" Helena goes red and starts shaking.

"I never said that" Christie smiles – she'd got Helena hook line and sinker.

There's an air of tension between the two girls and Helena looks like she's about to break. Christie suddenly looks at me warmly and reaches across the table, she grabs me by the scruff of my shirt and pulls me to her – she kisses me on the lips.

"Lets get out of here" she says when she pulls away. That's twice now…does Christie actually like me or is she just pretending? Christie leads me away dragging me behind her – she tightly holds my hand, I hear Helena shout something but Christie just marches on and ignores her.

I jump back out of Christie's grip when I notice where she's led me

"We're not actually going to?!" I ask hurriedly, Christie turns her keys in the door and turns with a playful smile

"Want to?" I blush at her response – she also looking at me very warmly. Christie pushes her door open and goes inside leaving me speechless in the corridor, a moment later she reappears at the door. "Maybe next time we can talk a bit more…I'd like that" she smiles and closes the door. I think I might have misjudged Christie…and I like the thought of us being together. I stand smiling at the door. I think I want to know more about her.
