Chapter 35:

The snow outside fell lightly, and made my window frost. I didn't like the cold, but the snow almost made it worth the cold. It also reminded me of the Flocks 'E' shaped house in the mountains. I remembered waking up there and seeing the snow, then taking a very young Angel and Gazzy out to play in it. Then the Flock would get into huge snowball fights.

I also remembered that the snowball fights also seemed to center on an epic battle of snow between Fang and I. Those could get a little out of hand. One time I remembered, I made a fort of solid snow with Angel and Nudge. It was the best fort ever, and then Fang and the guys built theirs. We practically lived in those forts for weeks, until Iggy and Gazzy accidentally blew theirs up and tried to take control over ours.

Those were the times!

I stood up in the cold room and got dressed in the warmest clothes I had brought. Today we were off and we wouldn't have school, yes they are making us still take classes while we're here because this is a school we are visiting. However it's not all school. Today we will get the whole day off which means I'm hitting the schools slopes. Then also while were here we are allowed to go into town for shopping, which is where I'm going to get equipment for the slopes.

Opening the door I walked down the hall of the girls dorm. I saw three girls carrying skiing equipment, it seemed I wasn't the only one headed for the slopes. One of the girls looked up as I passed.

"Hey.", she called and I stopped. She had blonde hair cropped short at different angles, and was wearing a light blue beanie and snow suit that matched her blue eyes that blazed as she stared at me with curiosity.

"Are you the girl that slapped Alec yesterday?", she asked.

I looked at them blankly. "Uh." A girl Blue Beanie was with spoke up.

"Oh yeah it's all over school. You did that right?" All three were looking at me astonished.

I mentally groaned, do all high schools have stuff spread about you this quick or is it just the one I go to? I wondered what I should say, lie or admit to it?

"Well, I uh didn't slap him.", I stated. Slapping was so wimpy.

"So you didn't hit him.", Blue Beanie confirmed.

"Well, I punched him.", I murmured looking away.

"Oh my god.", one of the girls squealed and I looked back at them. They were all looking at me like I lost my mind.

"Are you serious.", a girl poked her head out of her room and asked apparently she had heard us.

She hurried to join the conversation, I backed away.

"Do you know who you hit!?", Blue Beanie asked.

"His name was Alec, right?", I asked in a bored voice.

"Alec! Alec!", the girl who had just joined the conversation squeaked.

"Well.", Beanie continued. "Alec is the most popular guy at this school, and he's rich and positively gorgeous! Any girl here would die to go out with him! And you punched him!"

My face was bored. "Well, I hope there are less popular guys here with better personalities then."

All four girls seemed to go slack jawed at my comment. I resisted rolling my eyes.

"Uh, I have to go now. Bye.", I gave a brief wave then practically ran to the door leading out of the girls dorm. I didn't want to debate with the Alec fan club that their dream guy was a sexist pig. What wanted to do was a hang with Fang for the day on the slopes.

I met Fang in the town at the equipment store. We decided we wanted to try snowboarding, since we've never done it before. Then we even bought snow suits to wear. Fang got snow pants (black), jacket (black), sunglasses (black), beanie (black), and a snowboard (black) with a white smiley face on the that had fangs (I picked it out and got a good laugh with it). I got snow pants (black like Fangs), jacket (red), sunglasses (black), beanie (black), and a snowboard (red) with orange graffiti on the bottom that read 'fearless'.

I must say in our whole appearance fang and I looked awesome, even if I'm not some fashion guru like Nudge and Ange.

All we had to do next was head for the slopes for our snowboarding experience.

We didn't have to buy lift tickets, because we were students which was pretty awesome. However the slopes seemed to be packed, which kind of sucked. The lady at the information center asked me if I'd ever snowboarded before. I told her no, and she told me I should take a class. I her I would be fine, and she gave me a disapproving look.

Oh well. Then we were on the lift taking us to the top of the mountain. I sat next to Fang on the lift and we waited to reach the top.

Fang was being awful quiet looking over the side of the lift at all the people skiing and snowboarding below.

"So, this should be fun.", said and he looked at me with a half smile but in his eyes I saw excitement.
