Chapter 8

The landing gear of the plane folded out and the wheels hit the runways with a thud, waking all the passengers that were sleeping, except Alexis and Ryan. Jaden opened his eyes and looked to his left. He didn't think much of it, it was a bumpy ride. He tapped his shoulder aggressively to make sure he awoke. Ryan stretched out and yawned. He looked at Jaden, and then looked over to his shoulder. Ryan immediately jerked his shoulder away causing Alexis's head to hit the arm rest.

"Ow, what was that for," Alexis said immediately awakening. Jaden was just laughing his head off. Alexis punched Jaden in the arm to stop laughing.

"Well we're here," Jaden yawned.

"This is so beautiful," Alexis cooed as the three friends stepped into their cabin. The cabins had been divided into threes, so Jaden and Alexis wouldn't be alone . . . (A/N: hinthint) . . . but at least it wasn't with a stranger. The cabin had an authentic gas fireplace, a stove if you wanted to cook, and hard wood floors.

"So when are we hitting the slopes," Ryan asked.

" I'm thinking as soon as we can," Jaden replied.

An Hour Later . . .

"WOULD YOU HURRY THE HELL UP," Jaden and Ryan yelled in unison from the front room.

"Beauty takes time you know," Alexis yelled back from the bathroom.

"You look beautiful without makeup anyway," Jaden said.

"I do don't I," Alexis said as she stepped out of the bathroom in a purple parka with pink beanie and mittens.

"Well I know it only takes ten minutes to perfect this face every morning," Ryan said causing the others to laugh as they left.

"You know, that new kid is hot," Mindy said. Alexis, Jasmin, Mindy were sitting at an outside table at the ski lodge watching the guys having a snowball fight.

"Sure is," cooed Jasmin. Alexis desperately wanted to change the subject, because it brought her back to her dream.

"I gonna get you," Ryan yelled at Jaden after getting blasted with a snowball. He was cute and charming, just like Jaden. Wait, was she thinking, she was with Jaden.

"Alexis watch out," Jasmin screamed. As soon as Alexis turned her head, it collided with a snow ball. She wiped the ice off of her face and looked at who had thrown it. Ryan was on the ground laughing and rolling around on the snow.

"Oh, you're dead Ryan," she screamed at him. She picked up a handful of icy snow and shaped it into a ball and gave pursuit. She finally caught up to him and hit him square in the head. Then Ryan turned the tables and started to chase her. He caught her and tackled her. They rolled around for a little bit before coming to a stop. Ryan got to his feet and stretched out a hand to lift out a hand. She looked at the figure standing over her for a moment. His big brown eyes, his innocent smile, he was . . . beautiful.

"Earth to Alexis, would you like to get off the ground?" Ryan said breaking Alexis out of his daze. She took his hand and he lifted her up. Alexis walked back over Mindy and Jasmin.

"What was that all about," Jasmin asked.

"What was what all about," Alexis said knowing perfectly well what Jasmin was talking.

"You couldn't get your eyes off of him," Mindy said.

"What are you talking about," Alexis snapped back.

"Oh my god, you like Ryan don't you," Jasmin whispered as Jaden walked by.

"As a friend if that's what you mean."

"Don't play dumb with us," Jasmin and Mindy said in unison.

"Whatever," Alexis sighed.
