SNOW DAY! WooHoo! I LOVE snow days!! Jersey shore actually got snow! I mean, we barely EVER get some, since we live on the coast. I always hear stories on the news about how NYV got a foot, and what do we get? RAIN. NOT TODAY! Five inches of white snow!
I woke up at like ten o'clock to shrieks outside. I looked out and saw Spot chasing his little sister, Hailey, around the street with a giant snow ball in his hand. Just like Spot to terrorize his six year old sister!
Eventually, I got out of bed and went downstairs. My mom, I found out, had apparently woken up early, but now was asleep in front of the fire. Good... No one to tell me what to have for breakfast! So I set to work making a ham egg and bacon.
Just as I finished eating, the doorbell rang. I opened the door and was bombarded in a bear hug by Hailey, who was covered in snow.
"All right Hailey... I think Race is cold enough." Spot said from the door.
She jumped off of me with an evil grin and went to Spot. I stood up and was just starting to say hello when Spot dumped a HUGE snowball on my head. Let me tell you... That was cold!
"Spot.. You better run.. 'Cause I will KILL you!" I screamed, lunging at him, but he quickly dodged and ran outside. I followed.
"SPOT! Get back here! That was- COLD FEET! COLD FEET! IT'S FRICKIN' COLD!" I said running back inside.
Yup, I followed him outside, not thinking I was only in sweats and barefeet.... Not to smart, huh?
"Smart, Higgins. Real smart!"
"Oh go suck and elf, Conlon... I'm going upstairs to change. You best be ready when I return!"
I ran upstairs, put on jeans, a T-shirt, the heaviest sweatshirt I could find, socks, and my sneakers, then ran downstairs again to put on my coat and gloves. I did this all in about five minutes, since I loved snow, but also Spot was outside waiting for me.... (by the way, nothing more had happened between us... Just talking.)
Finally, I went outside. And they were no where in sight. I called out to them, but no answer.
All of a sudden, I heard Spot's voice shout, "NOW!" and I became the target of snowballs once again. They ran out from behind a bush and continued their ambush on me.
"That's it, Spot. YOU'RE DEAD!" I screamed as I bent down and grabbed a handful of snow and chucked it at Spot, hitting him in the head. I saw Hailey laugh at that and I got an idea.
"Hey Hailey... how bout we team up and get your brother together?"
She smiled brightly and came running over to me.
"Hey, no fair! Hailey, your supposed to be on my side!" Spot complained.
"Sorry Spot. Guess she likes me more than you!" I said, laughing as we started throwing at Spot.
"If that's how ya want it, fine. This is WAR!"
And that's how the Conlon vs. Higgins snow was got started.
I've never had more fun in the snow than I did today. Me and Hailey mad a good team, since Spot was covered head to toe with snow. Hailey wasn't even covered that much, and she's six!
Around two o'clock, Hailey got tired and she went inside. That's when the real fun started. We continued the 'war' even after she left. But now, without Hailey, I was losing!
Eventually, Spot caught up to me and tackled me to the ground. After our tumble, he ended up on top of me, pinning me down.
And we just stopped, both of us breathing hard, staring into each other's eyes. God, he was GORGEOUS! And then, time stopped as all my dreams cam true. He leaned forward and kissed me. And let me tell ya, fireworks definitely went off as we lay there in the snow, bodies tangled, hands roaming all over. By the time we broke apart, I was on cloud nine.
"Woah." Spot said, fingering his lips.
"Yeah..."
"That was amazing." Spot said, staring at me. Then he leaned forward and caught my lips again. Shivers ran down my spine and goose bumps appeared on my arms. But it wasn't from the cold, not at all.
But our fun was cut short...
"Boys! Where are you? Sp- Oh my!"
Oh shit! Spot's mom!
We both sat up immediately, wiping our mouths, identical guilty looks on our faces.
"Hey Mom."
"Hi, Mrs. Conlon."
She opened and closed her mouth a few times, then finally managed to figure out how to speak.
"Um... There's hot chocolate inside... If you boys want some..."
"We'll be right in, mom."
She turned and left as we both broke into a huge fit of laughter.
"Holy shit, Higgins! That was priceless! Did you see my mom's face?"
"I know! It was hilarious!"
Suddenly, Spot stopped laughing.
"Oh my god... My mom just saw us kissing! And actually was okay with it! God, I was freaking out about what she would say! What did your mom do?
Uh oh... Problem there...
"Um.. I haven't actually told her yet. She's known to be a big gay basher..." I trailed off.
"Don't worry, Race. I'll be here if ya ever need me."
"Come on, Spot, I want some hot cocoa!"
"Wait! When do ya wanna tell everyone else?"
"School tomorrow?"
"Not school. Haven't you learned your lesson, Higgins?"
Oh yeah... I had forgotten about Braids and the 'incident.'
"Yeah, School's out. Hey wait.. Isn't Blink having a party tomorrow night?"
Spot's face lit up. "Yes! I cannot wait to see their faces!"
"Yeah me too"
"Race ya to the house!" Spot said as he dumped yet another snowball on my head.
"HEY no fair!" I said, throwing snowballs at him along the way.
Hot chocolate never tasted so good.
This day has been heaven! I can't wait for tomorrow night!
