First Snow, Now Frost

Chapter Seven - First Love and Memories

History went by quickly. The teacher just gave you notes to write down, so it wasn't that bad. But you couldn't stop thinking of Jack. Not knowing where he was worried you. You wished he were here beside you. You missed his presence. 'I never missed my past crushes whenever they weren't at school. Then, is it..?'

"Love.", you heard a feminine voice speak up. It was your best friend.

"W-what?", you asked her, dumbfounded. "How did you..?"

"Well, in maths, you were making googly eyes at who knows what, and seeing that you look depressed now, tells me you miss a certain someone."

Your mouth was left hanging, and your eyes open wide. Sometimes, you BFF surprised you. Well, it has been 5 years since you've known her, so by now, she should be able to read across your face. But she literally completed the phrase in your head.

"Wait, is class over?", you said, confused.

"No, I just came by to talk to you while the teacher was giving us boring notes.", she said sarcastically. "Now, come on. I'm walking you home."

While nodding to your BFF, you grabbed your books and followed her to the lockers. There, you found Jack leaning against your locker, waiting for you. Your cheeks turned bright crimson, and you coughed, trying to tell Jack to move off. He quickly got the message, and waved while giving you his usual smirk. Your response was a simple yet warm smile. After opening the door separating you from your schoolwork, you grabbed the notes and books you needed, and closed back the door, locking it.

You walked with your friend inside the school, trying to find the nearest exit, while stealing glances at Jack. You really wanted to talk to him. But your friend was there, so no can do.

Once you were outside, your BFF immediately started to talk:

"Okay, spit it out. What happened?"

You sighed. Jack was right behind you guys, but you didn't want him to hear anything. When you stole a glance at the winter spirit, he was just looking around to see his work. 'Good...', you thought.

"I woke up, got dressed, then blacked out.", you said.

"And?!"

"Like I said in math; nightmare attack."

You didn't notice this, but Jack spun his head towards your conversation when he heard the word 'nightmare'.

Your friend sighed:

"But nightmares only happen when you're sleep. You were awake."

"So I have a ghost haunting me?", you asked your friend.

"Hey, I'm no Ghost Buster.", she said. "But maybe it's a spirit that wants your attention. I mean, look at you! Anyone would love you.", she said while hugging you lovingly. "So, I conclude, you have weird nightmares and a ghost that stalks you in your house."

"Seems legit.", you said sarcastically. "Now I just need a supernatural boyfriend, and my life is perfect."

Deep down, you meant what you said. Jack was that 'supernatural boyfriend' you wished you would have, but you wouldn't dare say it to anyone. Jack laughed nervously at your comment, and hoped his pale skin wouldn't reveal much of his pink cheeks.

"Like a vampire or something? That would make a perfect TV Series, you know…", your BFF said honestly.

You rolled your eyes and got out of her arms. "You and your series…"

The three of you continued to walk, with only your friend talking to you about the first three periods. When you reached her house, she left you alone with Jack, and waved good bye.

"So, you free now?", the familiar male voice you knew asked.

You swung your head to face the pale-faced teenager, and slightly punched his elbow.

"Missed me much?", you teased.

"Oh yeah, 'cause I love hearing you talk on and on.", he scoffed jokingly.

You stayed silent for a minute, and thought of the fact he didn't know your name. Or anything about you, in fact.

"Hey, don't you get curious?"

"Hmm?", was Jack's response.

"I mean, isn't it weird that you don't know anything about me?"

His clear-blue eyes dived into yours, making the colours intertwine with each blink. His lips formed a half-smile as he ran his hand through the left side of his hair.

"Nope, not really."

You whispered a "Huh..." as you continued to walk beside him. With a swing of his staff, Jack brought the wind with him, making the air slightly colder. The snow that was left lightly on certain trees followed the wind, and slowly fell back onto the pack of white fluff that laid on the ground. You always loved the snow. The cold air was always a pain, but it was the sacrifice to be made if snow would reborn. A memory you hold dear came back to replay in your head: the first time you entered the white forest. You smiled and closed your eyes, watching the memory as it played in your head.


Et voilà!

Next chapter; the memory!

My goal; to finish it before my birthday (meaning, tomorrow).

Who joined the country party? Venezuela, Norway and Italy!

High Five all of you guys!

And so, while you are reading this, I am writing the eight chapter.

Good night/day!
