I actually spent the ENTIRE day with Jamie (Well, most of it anyway, up until he had to go in for dinner). It was so fun! We did about everything we could think of! Jack made us snowballs so we could have a snowball fight even though it was sunny- strange, right? But totally awesome. It made me realise how much I missed spending time with Jamie, just the two of us. The house could get pretty lonely without him there. I thought about telling him I missed him, but I stopped myself. I didn't want to sound selfish. Hopefully one day I could be like Jamie and meet the person I was meant to be with (cheesy yes).

"That was brilliant!" I said as Jamie closed the door. It was a shame he had to go in for dinner, we were having the best time ever. Oh well, I guess it wasn't the end of the world. "Well, all of it was brilliant except for the part when you got me in the face with a snowball. That actually kind of hurt." I rubbed my nose where the snowball had hit me. Jack didn't reply as we walked back to sled- which we were not riding home, thank you very much. I looked over and saw him staring at the ground. He didn't seem... well.. he didn't seem happy. "Are you okay?"

"Wha-? Oh sorry, ya," he lied. This guy really needed to work on his lying, I could see right through him.

"No, you aren't," I said. "You can tell me what's wrong. Not like I can tell anyone- oh hey guys, you know Jack Frost, right? He told me, blah blah, blah. Can you imagine how insane that would be?"

He managed a half-hearted chuckle. "Everybody knows you're insane anyway," he joked (I hope). He sighed looking up from the ground. "It's stupid really. It's just seeing you and Jamie having fun, it made me miss my sister. Crazy, considering I don't even remember her name." I felt my heart drop when he said this. Ugh, why was I so selfish? How could I forget that? He told us he had a sister, and that he saved her life which is how he 'died'. I can't imagine how she felt as Jack fell through the ice... I'd hate to lose Jamie and not being able to save him.

By now we had reached the corner of the row of houses. It was noon and the streets were not as full as they had been this morning. "I'm sorry," I muttered.

He looked up, a grin on his face. "Why are you sorry?" he chuckled.

"I don't know. Just am," I told him.

"Well don't be," he said to me. "That was over three hundred years ago... I'll be fine." He smiled his dazzling smile at me- the one boys do that make your heart skip a beat. Stupid boys, they're going to be the death of girls... "Anyway, what do you want to do now?" He changed the topic, much to my relief.

I looked at my wristwatch. Seven o'clock- wow, time does fly when you're having fun!

"I don't even know? Talk," I shrugged my shoulders.

"About what?"

"I don't know. Um, so... How're you?" I laughed. He rolled his eyes laughing at me.

"Just great," he replied. "Now, what else can we talk about? Oh, ya. How you couldn't take your eyes off me." Oh no, he did not just go there. Why does he have to be so cocky though? And as I said before, I was only observing, not staring. There's a difference... Shut up, yes there is. I scowled at him, as he did a little side smirk. I shook my head in disbelief. Who did this guy think he was? Some Calvin Klein model or something?

"Don't flatter yourself," I grumbled.

"Admit it, Soph, you find me attractive," he winked.

"As I said, don't flatter yourself. North is more attractive than you," I joked.

"Ouch," he said, trying his hardest to look insulted. "Eh, a lot of girls think I'm attractive, so... I'm not surprised you do too."

"You're an idiot," I scowled. "I. Don't. Think. You're. Attractive!" He laughed joyfully. Who was I kidding though? There was no denying it, Jack was really good looking, ugh, and a hell lot cocky. Shut up brain! I scolded myself. I do not think Jack is attractive. Plus, he's three hundred and more years older than me, that's weird. "And if any girl finds you attractive, that's weird because they're all under the age of twelve. I'm like the only seventeen year old that knows you and the other guardians are alive."

"True," he admitted. "BUT, if they did see me, they'd be all over me."

"You're so cocky!" I snapped, before marching away from him.

He flew to catch up with me. Damn him and his flying powers! "Sophie, stop. I'm only joking! I really don't think I'm that attractive. I'm just average!" I laughed at this. Jack Frost, average? As if! He's bloody immortal! That, in my books, is not average... Oh, he meant average looking. Again, no he wasn't. What other boy has snow white hair, and sparkling, icy blue eyes that glittered beautifully as the sun reflected off of them-? GET A GRIP SOPHIE! This guy has known you since you were three, there's no way you have any chance with him! I reminded myself.

I stopped, much to his relief. "Firstly, you aren't average, and secondly, you are a terrible joker, and that's bad considering you're the guardian of fun."

He smiled. "I know, I need some practice."

"Well, you have forever to work on that," I pointed out.

"That's a pretty long time," he said, and for some reason, he seemed saddened by that. Why would you be sad about that? You never have to die! You get to stay young forever. Something nagged me at the back of my mind, but I didn't quite know what yet.

"Living forever saddens you?" I asked him.

"Well, ya. You're lucky! You get to grow up, get married, have children and grow old. Me? I have to stay like this... forever."

I crossed my arms. "I never really thought about that," I sighed. "I guess everything has a bad side. Hey, you could, you know, have little babies with tooth-"

"Tooth is strictly a friend," he interrupted me. "Plus, she's a little obsessed with my teeth." Well, Jack, they are really white teeth. "But you know, what if I start to like this girl but I can't do anything about it because she's going to grow up and I won't. What then?" I started to notice how close we were again. Less then six inches apart... Oh god. Stay calm, Sophie.

I snapped myself out of thought. "Well, you er, know... J-just..." I took a deep breath. Wow brain, thanks for being on my side (not).

"Something wrong, Sophie?" Was he getting closer to me? Oh god, oh god, oh god.

I turned my head sideways to avoid looking at him, because I knew if I did look at him again, I'd do something stupid like kiss him.
We all know I couldn't do that. This would all end in tears... For me.

"Nope," I squeaked. "Oh, look at the time- I really should go in and help my mother with the dinner." I took a step back from him- we were so close, about four inches apart. Now, there was a good space between us, thank heavens. He seemed to snap out of whatever he was trying to do, and blinked a couple of times.

"Oh, ya... Uh," he scratched the back of his neck awkwardly. "I'll be here tomorrow. I'm not needed anywhere right now!"

He turned to fly away. "Hey Jack!" I called. He turned around, levitating off the ground. "It was really nice to hang with you again. I had fun."

"Same here," he grinned, before flying off.

I'll admit... I couldn't stop smiling the whole way back to my house. This actually turned out to be a really awesome day after all.
