Chapter 2 -
"Ugh. Just our luck," Keely said. "My batteries run out." She wrapped up the headphones and stuffed the player into her bright pink Jansport bookbag.
"The batteries are probably just cold"
"Yeah. But the fact that I haven't changed the batteries for three weeks might have something to do with it."
"Oh..." Phil dragged out, with that stupid little face he gets when he's wrong. Keely laughed and started shivering.
"Okay... these people are seriously nuts. They put the window down in the middle of winter. It's friggin' cold enough to snow, and I'm freezing! I seriously think I'm gonna freeze to death." She kept sitting there shivering as the cold air blew into her face. It was hard for her to even breathe. Phil asked the guy in the seat in front of them if he would put his window up.
"Nope. Sorry."
"Why? We're freezing!" Phil exclaimed.
"Live with it," he said snobbily. Phil rolled his eyes and almost slapped him and shouted, but he didn't want to upset Keely, so he just let it go. Instead he looked sadly at Keely, whos face was redder than ever.
"Keel... do want me to, um... keep you warm?" he asked her. Keely smiled and picked her head up.
"How?" she asked.
"Do you want my jacket?"
"No, because then you'll freeze, too."
"Well... what do you want me to do?" he asked. They were both hoping for the same thing. Phil then put his arms around Keely and hugged her, keeping her warm. He hung on to her, and she got warmer instantly. They were both grinning the whole time.
Then their stop came up. They grabbed their things and walked out of the bus. Since they had gotten out earlier than usual, they were in no rush to get home so they went to the park.
"Hey, Phil? Thanks for keeping me warm on the bus," Keely said softly as she looked into Phil's eyes. He stared back at her.
"You're welcome," he said. Their conversation ended there.
"I wonder why it never snows here," Keely said, her eyes cast downward as she kicked a cold gray rock as she walked.
"I don't know. I really miss it from in the future. You could make it snow anytime you wanted to with the WIZRD. It has this special climate changer."
"You seriously suck." Phil laughed. "No really! You do! I've only seen snow twice in my whole life and I'm fifteen!"
"Well... I wish it snowed so that I could beat you at a snowball fight."
"Oh, really?"
"Yeah."
"Okay, well you're on of ot ever snows."
"Okay, deal." They shook hands jokingly.
"I guess only miracles bring snow," Keely said.
"Yeah. I agree"
End of Chapter 2
Remember the whole 'miracles bring snow' thing, okay? It has something to do with the ending. PLEASE review!
