Burying myself deeper in my blanket, I yawned. After a few minutes of staring inside the dark blanket, I grabbed my phone and checked the time. I had about 2 hours before leaving for school. Usually, I woke up 10 minutes after my alarm went off but today, I was up early. I stifled a yawn while rubbing my eyes. Walking over the window, I opened the curtains and found myself staring at trees with white flakes on them. It snowed! I’ve always loved snow. The view was spectacular. The green lawn was completely covered with snow, a few cars which were parked outside had frosted windshields and snow resting on the wipers. Without wasting another minute, I ran to the closet and grabbed some warm clothes and put them on. Quietly, I ran out of the silent house. I stepped on the clear snow, my soft boots sinking in the huge pile of snow. Smiling, I dropped down on my knees and touched the snow. I should have worn gloves but I was too excited to care. After a moment, my palms felt numb and I shivered. I’m definitely going to end up getting a frostbite.
“You should have worn gloves.”
My head snapped in the direction the voice came from. Ethan. I felt myself smile and blush at the same time. He looked cute, as always.
“I should have,” I said, nodding. “Why are you up this early?”
He shrugged. “I’m usually up at this time everyday,” he said, walking towards me and sitting down. He gave me a pair of gloves and I smiled.
“How did you know I didn’t have gloves?” I asked with curiosity.
“I saw you without gloves from my balcony.”
“Oh, thanks,” I said softly and pulled the warm, soft gloves on.
“Anything for you,” he said with a wink, making me blush.
“Your cheeks,” he said, chuckling.
“What about them?” I asked, suddenly feeling conscious.
“They’re bright red,” he said, letting out white smoke.
“Because of the weather,” I said quickly.
“Don’t worry, you still look cute,” he said, making me blush again.
I rolled my eyes and shoved him playfully. We just sat there in silence for a minute, listening to his calm breathing, when he suddenly he threw some snow on my face. Wiping my face, I narrowed my eyes at him. I started to gather some snow, feeling the cold breeze fan my face. He noticed what I was doing and got up, jogging away from me.
“Ash. No,” he warned me.
Giving him a sweet smile, I threw the snowball towards him. He ducked and smirked at me. But I was already ready with another one and this time I managed to hit his shoulder.
“It’s on.” He bent and gathered snow.
Before I knew it, we were running across the lawn, dodging and throwing snowballs at each other. I couldn’t stop laughing. Making a small snowball and trying to dodge the one threw at me, I slipped and landed on my butt. I started laughing loudly and Ethan was standing above me laughing as well and blocking the sunlight. He outstretched his hand and I took it as he lifted me halfway up and then dropped me back down. I shrieked as he laughed even more and outstretched his hand again.
Narrowing my eyes at him, I said, “No, thanks. I’m good.”
I got up and felt someone shove snow down my shirt. I screamed and turned to see Michael standing in front of me with a grin.
“Michael!” I whined with a shiver.
“Yes, Ash?” he asked with an innocent look.
Laughing, he gave Ethan a high five.
