ENJOY! :D

Mara's POV

"Mara!" It took less than a second for me to wake up because about 100 pounds of Lexi landed on me.

"It's SNOWING!" she screeched in my ear before she started jumping up and down on me.

"Wake up you lazy bum!" she yelled moments later when I didn't move. Truthfully, I wasn't even awake yet. I hadn't even process the fact that she had said it was snowing. However when that did process….

"Wahh!" I shot upright and Lexi, suddenly losing the surface (My boobs….) she was jumping on, went flying onto my floor with an audible thump as she yelled.

"Snow?" I asked as I looked out my window to find that it was in fact, snowing. More like dumping snow. The snow was coming down in piles and I doubt anyone expected classes to be open today because I think the schools probably trapped under snow. If it isn't…. we probably are.

"Snow!" I squealed in a very unlike me manner. Lexi grinned at me. My weakness was probably snow. I loved snow, ever since I first was introduced to the concept of playing in snow.

"I'm getting my winter clothes so I can go out!" called Lexi as I heard Mrs Peabody yelling that we did have class. I rolled my eyes. No fucking way was I going to class when it was snowing cats and dogs outside.

I changed into my usual clothes, opting to put on heavier black sweatpants with no rips. That was my only change though, other than that I just went with my lovely sweatshirt.

I stomped out into the snow and promptly waited for Lexi. When she came out, I threw a snowball aimed right for her head. She yelled in alarm as it plowed into her, almost knocking her over because of some ice.

"Why the hell do you have books?" I questioned, noticing she was carrying books.

"We have classes today; I know you heard Mrs. Peabody with your bat like hearing." replied Lexi, waddling over to me in her heavy pants under her skirt, her boots, and her heavier green jacket she substituted her usual green one for. She also had a pair of green and blue earmuffs.

"Well, I'm not going." I decided stubbornly. Lexi gave me a look but I ignored it and opted to go find Peanut who would surely make a snowman with me. The greasers weren't at the auto shop, so I went to New Coventry. Eventually, I found all the greasers holed up in the Blue Balls Pool Hall.

"Hey!" I shouted as I stomped in. They stopped playing pool when I got inside.

"Mara, why are you wearing practically nothing in a blizzard? Even we wear heavier things!" asked Peanut. I pulled my beanie off and shook it around to get off the snow before placing it back on my head.

"I don't like fat coats, they make me feel like I'm a marshmallow, but that isn't the issue." I said as I walked over to the greasers.

"I demand that you all come out and have a snowball fight with me." The greasers looked at me as if I were insane.

"We ain't going out in the blizzard Mara." replied Johnny.

"You want to bet?" I asked. Johnny raised an eyebrow. I smirked.

"You guys are such chickens! I have boobs the size of your heads and I go out in the snow! I guess I have more balls and boobs than you!" Then, I started clucking like a chicken and strutting around trying to imitate one.

The first to cave was Peanut, but he wanted to go out into the snow anyway. Then Hal. Then Vance. Then Ricky. Lefty and Lucky stayed adamant, but then eventually gave in after saying they would find heavier jackets to cover their light ones. Norton and Johnny were tougher to persuade.

"Norton, please?" I whined as I looked up at the large greaser.

"I don't like snow or getting wet." he replied, looking down at me.

"PLEASE? I want to play in the snow but I need everyone!" I cried. Norton gave me the look. Time to break out the sob story.

"I want to play in the snow! It's been years! I used to have to go to a part time job whenever it'd snow, or the foster lady wouldn't let me out, or I was injured! I barely ever get to play in the snow! Come out and play with me! I had a horrible snowless childhood!" I cried. Norton's eye twitched.

"Please!" I begged again. Norton sighed.

"Fine." he grumbled. I yayed then turned to Johnny who had his arms crossed and was watching me.

"No." he said instantly.

"Please?" I asked. He shook his head.

"No." he repeated. Johnny would be a tough one to crack. I needed help.

"Peanut! Help me!" I yelled. Peanut walked over and grinned at Johnny.

"C'mon Johnny, it'll be fun." tried Peanut.

"I ain't going out in no snow." replied Johnny.

"C'mon Johnny-boy, for me?" I tried giving him puppy dog eyes but sadly, my weird red-purple eyes just don't make the puppy dog look so cute.

"No." stated Johnny flatly. I pouted.

"You don't like me! You said you didn't hate me, you liar!" I screeched. Everyone covered their ears.

"You hate me! You hate me! You hate me!" I repeated this over and over until Johnny tackled me and held a hand over my mouth, I tried biting him but he was wearing gloves.

"Fine, I'll go out damn it!" shouted Johnny. I grinned as he cautiously removed his hand from my mouth and stood up.

"I win." I calmly commented as I stalked outside, the greasers following.

Bitch please, I always win.

Lexi's POV

I stared at Petey in shock. He had just suggested something, something I never thought I'd hear Petey suggest.

"Skip class?" I repeated dumbly. Petey nodded.

"It's snowing out, there won't be many students actually in class so I say we go out into town and play in the snow." explained Petey.

"But…skip? Won't that tarnish our records?" I asked. Petey shook his head.

"Probably not because I doubt most teachers will count it since most of their class won't be there." replied Petey. After some more persuasion, I agreed to go out in the snow.

First we waddled down to the park where there were already a lot of kids and teens playing. Then, Petey threw a snow ball I hadn't even seen him make at me. Since snow balls are my weakness, I announced that I was defeated and I fell back into the snow to make a snow angel. I heard Petey walk over to me and he sat next to me.

We were going to have soooo much fun!

Later on, after playing in the snow, Petey and I found a small café that sold hot chocolate. We sat in the corner and watched the snow fll through the window as we drank out hot chocolate.

"So you like snow Lexi?" asked Petey. I nodded.

"I love snow, but you want to know who really loves snow? mara." I replied.

"Mara likes snow?" asked Petey. I nodded.

"She loves it, when we first met she didn't do many things for fun, she usually sat in the corner in watched. One day it snowed and I made her play with me. We both had a lot of fun, and after that day Mara would freak out if it snowed." Lexi laughed, remembering the day she introduced Mara to snow.

"Mara's a bit strange…" commented Petey. Lexi nodded.

"She is, she's secretive really. I can never figure out what's going on with her until she tells me or doesn't care if I know. Despite being best friends, Mara isn't open with me as much as she could be. Mara gets into trouble a lot, but hates telling me. Mara is somewhat like a little kid, if someone she cares about scolds her then she gets sad, so she tries to hide what she did. Mara is also a bit bipolar, as she has mood swings. It's quite noticeable too." Lexi sighed and put her head in her hands.

"Am I bad a friend for feeling tired of that?" she questioned. Petey shook his head.

"Mara seems like she's a lot to handle. I don't think you're a bad friend, Mara wouldn't be mad at you if she knew too." he agreed.

"But, I feel bad. I mean, Mara's always been there to help me, but I can't help her. I never know when she needs me." Petey pat Lexi's shoulder.

"I wouldn't stress over it, if Mara needed your help I'm sure she'd ask." replied Petey.

"You're probably right, it still troubles me though…."

Mara's POV

What's the best thing to do on a snowy school day? Have a snowball fight with the greasers, that's what. So far, I'd been the most agile in the snow since I'm the lightest. Norton and Hal were probably doing the worst since they were the largest of us, seriously, the one time I went to gym I had it with Norton. We were doing weights; Norton lifted these huge-ass things. I lifted something that probably weighed like…. fifty pounds. Norton probably could have lifted me with one hand if he tried. Not that I'd want him to, I'd probably hit the ceiling.

Next to me Johnny and Peanut were pretty good, Peanut was able to dodge and Johnny was good at throwing. Lefty, Lucky, Ricky and Vance were pretty moderate in their abilities. I suppose if I wanted superstars I should have invited the jocks. Ah well, it's still fun.

When our fight was over, Vance, Lefty, Norton, and Lucky returned to the pool hall to warm up. I made everyone else stay out though because I wanted to build a snowman. Of course our snowman came out a big strange looking considering the greasers just aren't artists.

"I think he looks beautiful." I decided as we looked at our snowman, whose head was lopsided and uneven.

"He looks like he was dropped on his head as a snowball." deadpanned Johnny.

"Shut up, he is beautiful!" I snapped as I hugged the snowman's lopsided head.

"Ey, Mara," I turned to Peanut at hearing him, "You look soaked, you should go in. Unless you want a cold." I scowled but allowed myself to be herded inside by the greasers. When I got in there I stripped off my jacket and sat close to the fire. Peanut and Norton kept coming over to make sure I didn't catch fire from how close I was.

All in all? It was a good day.

"A-ah-choo!"

Fuck me.

Lexi's POV

I snuck into Mara's room when she was out cold today, apparently she caught a cold from messing around in the snow.

I took a quick look at her and found a frown on her face. She was sweating and her face was even paler than usual. I placed my hand on her forehead and it was quite warm.

"Poor Mara." I murmured, turning around and grabbing her journal.

December 4th,

My birthday is coming up. December 13th, I never told Lexi my birthday. Of course I remember hers, June 14th. She was born in June, which is a warm month. I bet that's why she's so happy. Then I was born in December, cold and cruel.

Anyway, today I had a huge snowball fight with the greasers. Then we built a snowman who I later decided to name Yura, dunno why. But I do like Japanese names, thus why I chose Yura! At least I think its Japanese.

I do know one thing though,

SNOW RULES!

AN-

I ran out of ideas. I really did.

But no worries, I'll figure something out.

It's been snowing a lot around here, but then it always rains like right after. What's worse is my math homework was to make an igloo…. I didn't make an igloo.

:P
