The Clock
There's a neat little clock,
Inm the schoolroom it stands,
And it points tothe time
With its two little hands.
And may we, like the clock,
Keep a face clean and bright.
With hands ever ready
To do what is right.
Jamie sat in History class bored out of his mind. Why can't they teach us something other than war's, and our boring history? Can't they do something new for a change? Every year its the same thing. Blah blah blah. What about united states? Or Africa maybe? Something new. Ugh.
The teacher babbled on and on. Fifteen minutes, just fifteen minutes till school is over. Jamie thought as he doodled on the back of his already finished homework that was just handed out. He finished the random melting clock pictures and decided to add a poem.

"I'm done Mr... Stein." Jamie said as he handed his teacher his finished homework.
"You really are a bright child Jamie, has anyone ever told you that?"
"yea, a few times actually" Jamie said with a laugh.
As Jamie exited the Building while talking to Pippa, he saw Jack Leaning against the school bus, Fall was ending and this morning was the first Frost of the season. But it melted before Jamie woke up for school that morning, so this was a wonderful surprise to Jamie.
"Jack! Where have you been?" Jamie runs up asking
"Hey kiddo, I'm a winter spirit remember, I don't do well in the heat" The winter teen said with a smile, but his smile was fast to fade. When jack soon realized that this is probably the last year they can talk freely, soon his parents will become worried about Jamie, thinking he is too old for an -Imaginary Friend-. Even if he wasn't made up. His parents can't see him after all. Soon their friendship will have to become secret, and not to long after maybe Jamie would be asking him to stop visiting all together due to not wanting to worry his family about being secretive, he'll eventually fall in love, get married, have children. And that'd be the moment that Jack can come back to see Jamies Children, and Jamie (hopefully).
Jack is just now realizing the exact reason why Tooth, Sandy, Bunny, and North actually didn't interact with the children.
"Jack,What's wrong? And why can't you be around in summer."
"your growing too fast Jamie. Its not that I can't be here in summer, I chose not to. I get massive migraine, and stomach pains. Kind of similar to if my staff were to break. Its not fun" the winter boy spoke with laughter, even though Jamie knew this wasn't something to laugh about.
"Jack, whatever is bothering you, you can tell me. Mom always tell me that its not healthy to bottle up your feelings."
"I'll spills the bottle when we get to the lake. I want to freeze it early this year." Jack said with a sly grin.
"but its too warm for things to freeze yet, the towns people will freak"
"that's kind of the point." Both Laughed as they walked the outskirts of burgess.
Once they stepped outside of burgess, and no one was around, jack began to explain how he'll eventually have to leave, or become a secret. Both the boys sat in silence for a while before telling each other secrets, and relieving each others stress.
