Author's Corner: Woohoo! Chapter one! :D I'm surprised thatI updated this as soon as I did. I planned to have updated it later than this. X3 Well, here it is. Hope you like it! One thing I want to let you all know though is that I will be updating this when my schedule allows it. I do have a part time job and lots of schoolwork and all. So, I'll update it when I can, but I will try to go for at least one update every week. One more thing, anything in the story that is in bold words like this paragraph here is me as the author talking, not the characters. I may do that to explain something. Just letting you all know now. Okay, I'll stop blabbing now. X3 Enjoy!

Chapter One

~Carter's Point Of View~

The two of us were breathing heavily, sweat running down our foreheads. We were playing dodge ball. We always played dodge ball in phys. Ed. For being the outcast of my class, I was always picked first for this game, but only this game. I was always picked first because I have wicked dodging skills.

You see, I do gymnastics and go to national competitions. All that training has made me agile. I have two younger sisters who like to try and sneak up on me and throw things at me all the time. From that I have learned to be attentive and know when to dodge out of the way. Long story short, I can dodge.

There were two of us left, one from each team.

"You're going down this time Carter," my opponent taunted.

"Bring it," I said, a smirk plastered on my face.

He chucked the ball he was holding at me as hard as he could. It wasn't hard enough, however. I snatched the ball out of the air as it passed me and clutched it close to my chest.

"Out!" The teacher and I shouted at the same time. I cheered along with the rest of my team. We had won. Again.

"Good game, everyone," I called out.

"Next time, Carter. Next time," my defeated opponent—Brent—said as we shook hands. I grinned at him childishly.

My moment of fame was cut short as the bell rang. Everyone pushed past me to get to the change rooms. I sighed and followed the girls into the girl change room. I changed quickly, not wanting to be in there any longer than I had to be. I headed to my next class. My last class of the day.

It was Thursday and it was finally last block. I sighed and walked quickly, staring at the ground. I usually stare at my feet as I walk. Someone wrapped their arm around my shoulder and walked alongside me.

"Hey Snow," she said. Snow is the nickname she gave me. It's my nickname because of my love for snow. Sadly, it doesn't snow that often here.

"Hey Tallie," I said looking up at my best friend. She was grinning. She and I had completely different schedules, and this was the one class we shared. We walked down the hall together.

"Going to the egg hunt on Sunday?"Tallie asked.

"Of course I am," I replied.

"Still think you'll see him?"

"No Tallie, I know I'll see him," I said with a smirk. Tallie shook her head with a sigh.

"You're such a child," she said. I stuck my tongue out at her.

We walked into class and sat at our desks. It was chemistry. I love chemistry, although I don't understand half the stuff we've learnt. Brent walked in and gave me a dirty look as he sat down. I sighed. That was one thing I forgot to mention. Unless I'm on their dodge ball team or unless you're Tallie, everyone avoids and dislikes me.

People know that I still believe and so they avoid me. I am the outcast. It doesn't matter to me though; I don't care what they think. I know they're out there and this Sunday, I plan on catching one of them. It's been a dream of mine for a while. I'm often spacing out because of it.

"Do you wanna help?" I ask all of a sudden.

"Help? With what? Your hunt? I know I'm your friend and all, but I'll pass," Tallie said. I chuckled.

"I'll make you sugar cookies," I said mischievously.

"Okay!" Tallie said. I laughed. Tallie would do anything for my sugar cookies.

"What are you doing tomorrow?" I asked.

"Watching TV," Tallie said.

"Cool, you can watch TV at my house," I said.

"Sounds like a plan," Tallie replied.

Tallie looked up as the teacher walked in.

"You're late Amy," she said. That caused snickers to erupt around us. Tallie was so laid back that she called her teachers by their first names.

"Tallie, how many times must we go over this?" The teacher said with a sigh. Tallie grinned.

"Right, I apologize, Miss T." She said. I chuckled slightly. The teacher cleared her throat and started the class's lesson.

We did a few reactions with different things—nothing dangerous—and learned more confusing stuff. When the bell finally rang, I gather my books and headed for my locker to put my books away.

It was warm out. It was always warm here. I live in a small town in California. I don't mind it here, but I would prefer to live in a place that has snow. When it snows here—very rarely—it doesn't stick.

"Hey!"Tallie called as she caught up with me. She grinned. "Got my stuff," she added.

"Good," I said. This town was very Catholic. So we have tomorrow—Friday— and this coming Monday off. Tallie planned on staying at my house for the long weekend.

"Wanna watch something scary tonight?" She asked. I scoffed.

"Yeah right," I said. I hate scary movies. I was easily scared and so horror movies were never really my thing. Tallie laughed.

"I know. I was just bugging you," she said. We laughed together as we turned down my street. I noticed someone standing in the street, spinning in circles. When they stopped spinning, I gasped and stopped walking. Could it be…?

~Jack's Point Of View~

I felt like doing something fun. I decided to give snow to warm places. It was fun watching people in Arizona walk outside and see snow. Most people freaked out, wanting to know what was going on. All the others went out to play. I laughed and joined their games. Most of them didn't see me but some did. We laughed as we chucked snowballs at each other. It was fun.

Then, I moved on to a different place to mess with. I flew around for a while when I spotted a small town in California.

"Seems interesting," I said as I descended slowly.

The town was relatively small. Two streets were lined with houses on either side, the two streets across from each other. A tall marble fountain that must mark the town centre protruded from the ground in the middle of the two streets. The streets of houses were on the North and South sides of the fountain.

The streets to the East and West of the fountain were the market streets. The West street led to a dead end that held the town hall (The city hall type building for the town XD) building and the school. The east road eventually leads to the highway out of here.

The streets weren't packed with people, but they also weren't dead. Everyone knows each other and were all relatively friendly towards each other. I smiled slightly. It would be interesting to see their reactions to heaps of snow in the morning. A loud ringing to the west caught my attention. The school must be out.

Landing on the ground, I walked towards the North Street, looking at all the shops as I walked.

"Wow," I said as I turned down the North Street. Houses—All two stories—lined the street to the left and right. Trees lined the middle of the street, protected by a small concrete curb that kept cars away. The sight was quite breathtaking.

I turned in a couple of circles, taking in everything around me. That's when I noticed them. Two teenage girls. One was staring right at me.

Author's Corner: So,there you have it! Chapter one. Gosh, my wrist hurts now from all that typing. XD Hope you guys enjoyed. So like I said, I will update this as soon as I can. I have started writing out chapter two; it's all a matter of when I work on in. So leave reviews and be patient with me. :3 Thanks!
