Simple Snow Day
Silence. That’s what I heard when I woke up. Utter silence. I glanced at the clock again. 8:00 am. Something was up. I leapt out of bed, and opened my door silently. I ran to the window. Then a smile spread across my face when I uttered the words. Snow day. I knew I didn’t have much time. I threw on some clothes, and turned on the faucet. I brushed my teeth quicker than usual. I washed my face and put hair up in a ponytail. I knew my mom would wake up soon, so I had to hurry.
My hands trembled as I dialed the number. As he picked up I almost fell. “Ben,” I said. “Is your school out today?”
“Yeah. Why?” My whole body was shaking.
“Oh, I was just wondering if you wanted to come to my house today.”
My heart had felt like it had skipped a beat.
“Sure,”
“Ok. See you soon.” After that my heart melted. I realized that every one was still asleep but they wouldn’t be for long. I threw on my snow stuff, left a note in the kitchen for mom, and waited outside for Ben.
“Let’s take a walk,” I couldn’t believe my lips. We hadn’t talked to each other before without the exact same tension as we had that day. He inquired about the little things, like my favorite ice cream flavor, my favorite color, and what things I was interested in. I couldn’t take my eyes off his, until when we rounded the corner and spotted something moving. He saw where my eyes were wandering and yelled duck. So I did. Holden and Jay had planned a sneak attack, and were going pound us into the ground with snowballs. Quickly, we gathered some ammo and started to fight too.
By the time we made a truce they were soaking wet, while we were completely dry. Then, we went to my house for hot chocolate. My mom was up by then. She wasn’t mad though, and she gladly made us hot chocolate. Holden and Jay had things that they needed to do so they said good-bye to us and left.
After we finished our hot chocolate, we decided to continue our walk. I started asking him questions that time. Once we got the end of my street we stopped walking. We start gazing out onto the open rode.
“Um?” still gazing at the rode.
“Yes?” I reply.
“Do you believe in miracles?”
“Yes.”
“What kind of miracles do you believe in?”
“Well, I believe in really sick becoming healthy again, miracles that happen when there is a rainbow, and love at first sight.”
“Do you believe that you meeting me was a miracle?” He was looking right at with his beautiful, at that point glazed looking eyes. He was leaning closer to me. I knew what he wanted me to say. I knew what I wanted to say.
I Leaned over and whispered in his ear. “Yes.”
There we were with our lips barely touching but at that point it felt like more than enough. When we finally finished, we walked back silently, holding hands. We both then held something between us that felt unbreakable, but also entirely delicate.
