So with my luck I've managed to loss all of the chapter i had prepared for this story so I'm going to have to re-write it which is a same but I can hopefully write it better.

Chapter 4 - Snowy horizon

Her first week at school had been and gone and there were only three days left until school brakes up for Christmas on the Wednesday.

Zoey sat up, rubbing the sleep out of her eyes she made her way over to her bedroom window and pulled her curtains open seeding floods of white light inter her room. She blinked out the sun before taking in the view, a smile, one of the biggest she had ever had, crossed her face. She opened her widow and stuck her head out reaching out her arms in attempt go catch the little white flakes that fell from the sky descending slowly, rocking back and forth in the wind. One landed on her hand and she stared at it as much as she could before it melted. It had clearly been snowing over night as a layer of ice covered the horizon the sea just viable over the houses. She was starting to see what Barry meant, today was going to be a good day.

~~ OoOOOoOOOoOooOOooOOooooOO Flash back OoooOOOooOOOoOOOoOOoooooooOOooo ~~

Zoey was around 7 it was late and she was like usually unable to sleep so she and Barry had taken up the chance to sit by the fire and watch Disney movies. She can't remember what they were watching but it had gotten to the part were the princess had open her window and most likely started singing Zoey reached for the controller and paused it repositioning herself so she could look at Barry, "What is it?" he asked staring down at her with a warm smile.

"Why do they always look out of the window?" she asked

"Don't you do it?" Barry said creasing his brow

"No, why would i?"

"It's very important."

"What's so important about it?"

"Well it helps you prepare for the day, helps you remember that there is an amazing world out there with so much to see and do and if you say hello then it cheers your world up."

"I don't get it."

"You will but until then promise me that you'll look out your window and greet the world every morning."

"I promise"

"Pinkie promise." he said holding out his pinkie.

"Pinkie promise." She agreed wrapping her tiny pinkie around his.

~~OOOooooOooOoooOOooOOooOoooO End of Flash back OoOOoOOoooOooOOoOOOoOooOoO~~

The smile refusing to leave she got ready for school in record time and with a quick call goodbye she left the house. She was surprised to see Duncan waiting at the end of the path as she was earlier than normal; he was looking of into the distance and was yet to notice her. She closed the door as quietly as possible only letting out the tiniest of clicks. treading carefully she made a trail of foot prints down the path the otherwise untouched snow. She made it to the end unnoticed and grasped Duncan shouting "ITS SNOWING" as the top of her lungs, Duncan swerved round losing his footing and fell over bringing Zoey down with him, landing in a hep on the floor. They burst out in laughter as they attempted to help each other to their feet before bruising down there cloths.

"It is indeed, still having to go to school though" He said after recovering from laughter

"Yea but I want to go to school, which reminds me I know everyone doing things over Christmas but we should totally do something before then, we could go sledging! I've never been sledging before, I'm not sure were the best place to go would be but you know more about that stuff, oh and we could get everyone else to come and…"

"Hey, Zoey." He said stopping her flood of words

"Yes." She said her eyes shining looking at Duncan as they approached the school.

"I know a great place to go sledging." Zoey jumped up with excitement clapping her hands together she noticed Hannah and Lewis standing outside the school grabbing Duncan's hand she pulled him over to them. "Isn't the snow great" She called out as they approached them

"Not as great as you." Duncan said quietly smiling,

"Duncan what did you say to poor Zoey?" Hannah asked noticing Zoey's bright red cheeks; somehow Zoey's cheeks managed to get redder causing her to try to bury her head into her scarf. Duncan gathered a ball of snow and threw it at Hannah Lewis was the first to retaliate seeming to have predicted that snow balls would be needed. Soon an all-out war broke out all sense of sides were lost in a frenzy of flying snow.

Zoey collected the biggest possible snow ball and launched it at Duncan he moved to the side and it flew past him hitting someone who was heading inside they lost their footing and fell face first into the floor. Zoey gasped and ran over she could hear her friends burst out in laughter as well as Hannah trying to tell Lewis that is not funny but failing to keep a straight face. Approaching them she recognised them as Rythian form her English class, "I'm so so sorry she said." Offering to help them up, "I was aiming for someone else and missed," He shock of all her attempts at helping him. "I didn't notice you there are you hurt?" she asked as they stood up and attempted to rid their cloths of snow.

"I'm fine." He said

"If there anything I can do to make it up to you." She said picking his bag up and brushing it down before passing it to him

"Really, it's okay," He said with what she thought was a smile under his scarf, which quickly disappeared with one glance behind her, he quick walked into the school. Duncan came up behind her and they left for class.

For some reason the smile had caught her of guard she had never seen him smile before. English might not be the smileyest of subjects and she hadn't really talked to him but whenever she saw him around school he was never smiling he always had his head down either in a book or at the floor she made a mental note to try and talk to him more before the bell ushered them all inside.

Thanks for reading! :3 I'll try and get at lest one more out before the live streams start I can't be the only one who is more exited for the yogscast Christmas live streams than for Christmas well I don't allow myself to get officially exited before December but still what do you mean I'm already wearing Christmas jumpers I think you'll find it is in fact seasonal.
