"WOOOOOOOOOOOOH!" screamed Dylan.


"Damn, you guys are slow!" Anthony said taunting the two slowpokes behind him.



"Yo Kyle, you're going to get left behind!" Dylan said passing him up once again.
"I'll meet you guys at the bottom!" Kyle replied.

"Okay girls, balance is the key", Flint said teaching them some snowboard techniques.
"This is actually easier than I thought it would be", I said.
"Yeah", Jenny agreed, "Whoa Asia, are you doing okay?" she asked looking at Asia stumble.
"I don't think I'm cut out for this", Asia said trying to get up.


"Well lucky for you I'm a pro at teaching", Flint said.
"And here I thought that I was your tutor", Asia replied.
"Maybe you should take it easy", Jenny said worried.
But she was right, "Your probably right", Asia said sitting down.

"Jenny, you realize your legs are shaking like crazy right?" Dylan laughed hysterically.
"Yeah, yeah shush it. I've never skated before", Jenny nervously said.
"Well you can't be afraid to fall on your ass", Dylan smiled.


Dylan continued to guide her out on the ice.
"Dylan?"
"What's up?" Dylan said.
"I..."
"What?" he laughed.
"I love you", Jenny said softly.


"Hm, tell me something I don't know", Dylan smiled.
Jenny sucked her teeth, "What?"
"I'm kidding, I think that's the cutest thing you've ever said to me. And I love you too".



I looked at how adorable Dylan and Jenny looked out on the ice.
It made me so jealous of Jenny. She had a guy and they shared mutual feelings for each other.
If only I could be that lucky.
"Hey Mimi", said Anthony.


"What's that over there?!" Anthony frantically said.
"What's what?" I asked turning my head. I didn't see a thing, what was he talking about?
I turned back around to receive a snowball to my face.


"You are so dead!" I shouted at Anthony.
"Oh really? I'd like to see about that", Anthony smiled.

Kyle


I watched as Mimi and Anthony broke out into a snowball fight.
Every time I saw a smile on Anthony's face, it was because Mimi was around
to give him one. I guess it's only expected since he likes her. But my biggest
concern was if she liked him back?


I was barely paying attention to the conversation to the point where Lindsey
began to press up on my arm, "Kyle?" she said.
"Oh, yeah?" I said forgetting what we were talking about.
"You think you can swing by again later like last year", Lindsey winked at me.


I shook her hands off my arm as I replied, "Sorry, no can do".
"Aw, really? You got a girlfriend or something?" Lindsey asked disappointed.


I looked at Mimi who had slipped and fell on the ground.
Her smile was so divine, I wish that I was the one making her smile.
Her light blue eyes are so enticing, that I wish they were looking at me right now.
What can I do to make this happen?


"Something like that", I finally replied still looking at Mimi.


"Anthony Luca! I've got you now", Mimi said raising her throwing arm at him.
Anthony laughed, "Can't we just talk this out?"
"No way!" Mimi said throwing the snowball at him.

"Now to find a parking spot", said Jenny looking for a space.
"I'll help you look", Asia said.
"Well, while you guys look I'm going inside", I said getting out of the car.
I wanted to go in and go out quickly as possible.


"Alright Asia, let's make this quick" Jenny said walking ahead of her.
"This is so embarrassing", said Asia.
"Marco, you got chocolate on your face", said the lady wiping her child's face off.
Asia stood there looking at the mother and her child. It only made her think of
what her life could actually be like if she were actually pregnant. A mother.


"Hi", Marco said waiving at Asia.
"...Hi", Asia said smiling.
"Marco, didn't I tell you not to speak to strangers. Sorry Miss", the woman said.


"Asia, are you okay?" asked Jenny.
"Yeah, I'm fine", Asia said.


"Would that be all, Miss?" the cashier asked Asia.
"Um...yes", Asia replied embarrassed.
"Okay, that will be $19.07", the cashier said ringing up the item.


"Asia, I'm going to go look for Kyle", said Jenny walking away.
"Okay", Asia said.



"Not to be rude or anything, but I'm sort of in a hurry ma'am", I said impatiently.
I had been waiting for half an hour for this lady to get my medication.


"Hold on sugar, I'm looking as quickly as I can", the pharmacist said fidgeting on the stool.
I don't think she can read the labels with the way her eyes are squinting at them.
"Hey, I think can see the Verelan over there to the left", I said trying to help her.
"Aw yes, good eye", she said moving over to the left.


She began to finally refill my medication. At this rate, I could've died and came back.
"Verelan hm, how unfortunate for you", she said.
Well way to make me feel bad lady, "That wouldn't be the first time I heard that", I said.
"But you're so young", she smiled.
"Doesn't stop me from having some fun though", I replied rubbing my neck.


"Okay, we are done here. Remember no more than three times a day", she said.
"I know, I know, it's on the bottle", I said taking the prescription bottle.
"Kyle? Why are you getting pills from the pharmacy?" asked Jenny.
I could hear the eminence in her voice as she stood behind me.
I quickly tried to shove the bottle in my thick pockets.


"Shit", I said as my bottle of pills spilled all over the floor.
Of course the grandma behind the counter didn't seal the bottle securely.
I saw as Jenny's palm reached over them to pick one up. She studied it closely.


"What the hell are these?" Jenny asked dismayed.
"Sleeping pills, Flint is a super loud snorer if you didn't notice", I lied.
"The hell they are, I wasn't born yesterday idiot", she snapped at me.
"Well, they're none of your concern", I said beginning to pick up the pills.


"Are seriously going to ignore my concern for you?" asked Jenny.
"Yes, because it's not a big deal. So cheer up will yeah?" I said getting up.


I began walking away, "And if you respect me as your friend at all, you will
not tell anyone else about this. I don't want any trouble", I said.
"Okay fine", said Jenny, "Verelan?"
