The Snow Prince
By: Elohim Masami
Snow Falling all around me...Rocks, trees, bushes, covered in snow...The world it self covered in white. Snow fall from the gray colored sky... (Where am I?, Am I dreaming.)."It could be a dream or I couldn't be." a voice called out to me. I looked around for signs of another person. "Who are you? And where am I?" I asked not knowing who I was talking to. Through the falling snow and the shadow of the trees a figure approached me. " What do you mean I could be dreaming?" I asked the figure that what's approaching me. "You will soon know, I'll be waiting here in the snow." Said the voice of the shadowy figure.
`BUZZZZZ'. I shot up my bed and looked around, (What the hell was that!). I looked at my clock and it read 5:30 AM, I laid back on my head board and though about the dream I had. "Boy what a way to start the day." I said to myself. I remember what today was (Yes the last day of school...Goodbye homework, so long exams and bye-bye quiz's).
I bolted out of bed and took a nice hot shower, put on a pair of boxer briefs and walked to my dresser and pulled up buttoned and zipped on pair of tight black jeans. Then went to my closet and pulled out my white turtleneck sweater, went to my vanity mirror and combed and pulled my hair back in to a ponytail. Checked my treasure chest for my cross earrings and put one on my right ear. Then the last part of the out fit my white jacket with a beaded silver big cross on the back. ( I loved crosses and this jacket was special to me, Mom sowed the beads on the back for me.). I checked myself on the full length mirror hanging on my door, (Yup Looking good and this jeans showed my bubble butt off..Hehehe).
I went down stairs and into the kitchen to make breakfast for me and dad, turned on the coffee machine. "Morning Kiddo, Sleep well last night?" Asked dad taking his seat, "Yup a little, Had to write my report till 2 that's about it." (Ya right MY report.). " So dad you going to the winter fair tonight?, Its going to be at the pond this year". I asked a little worried, "Ya Lilly asked me to help out at her booth." Dad said back to me. "Lilly huh.. Hehehe Dad you sly dog." I said with a grin. Coughing dad looked away turning a little red.
Ms. Lilly Lockhart was the owner or the glass shop in town and was well liked by the whole community. She and mom went back to high school and were best friends, when mom passed away she was there for me and dad always making sure we ate and she helped me with school and with my grief about losing mom. She and dad became friends for the past three years and I see bond that has grown between them, And it was ok with me.
After I got done with my grub I checked the time '7:15' (shoot I'm going to miss the bus.) I headed to the door, Put on my knee high black boots and yelled to goodbye to me dad. I was on my way to the bus stop when Matt's car pulled on beside me, "Hey get in I'll give you a ride." He said to me. "Thanks I though I was going to miss the bus." I said to him, "well just be happy that I got up early today." He smiled back at me. He turned on the radio the song `Let it Snow' sang by Jessica Simpson was on.
I looked out the window on to the falling snow and though back to last night. (Dame that Kyle...Dame him to hell, what am I going to do I don't think I can even look him in the face.) "KAI!!!" Shouted Matt, "Huh...what?" I asked a little startled..."what up? Still half
asleep?" He asked looking at me. "Sorry didn't get much sleep last night, Had to do a paper." I said to him.
"Paper?? I though you finished all your work and turned them in." He asked a little confused. "Umm, There was one I forgot and I found it on my desk." I said looking away. Not wanting to make eye contact with him, "Really...I didn't know you could forget school work Mr. bookworm." He said with a little edge in his voice. I just laughed nervously and tried to change the subject. We talked on what we were going to do at the fair tonight as we made it to the school parking lot.
We walked through the halls passing our fellow student's who were just as exited about the last day of school as we were. I told matt to go ahead because I had to drop something off at the office, I made my was passed the mass of students who were coming and going in the halls. I looked around the corner looking at Kyle's locker to make sure he wasn't there, (Alright the all clear.) I pulled out the paper in my binder and walked as fast as I could to slip it in to his locker before he could get there.
I looked left and right nothing (Come on dame it go in), I looked to my left and there he was with his goons walking the hall. Finally able to slip it in I ran for it, and made it out the side entrance and out to the court yard and back behind them. (James Bond eat your heart out). I smiled and made back to my locker, grabbed my books and headed to class. But by second period I was a little jumpy, I waited till everyone was about done changing and headed in. Looking around I tried and changed as quick as I could, `BAM' (Dame it...)
"Well well look who's in a hurry this morning..." growled Kyle, I was done by the time he said those words to me. " Just don't want the coach yelling at me again." I said with my back to him. I closed my locker and made a move to my left and his came to back me, "Did I say you could go..." He said growling at me. He grabbed my shoulder and shoved me up against the locker next to mine, " Just like last night, You thing you can leave with out me saying so...Huh" He said with and edge in his voice.
I was shaking as he grabbed my chin and had me look up at him, "Why did you run out?" He asked me holding my face in his hand, "I-I--I had to get home in a hurry last night." I stuttered back to him, "then why are you avoiding me? That's not very nice now is it Kai." he said with some edge left in his voice. He sounds almost frustrated at me, "Move it girls we haven't got all day!" Yelled coach. "We'll continue this later, and don't run away from me. Got that Kai" He said to me and walked away.
After that everything was all a blur as I walked to my locker to get my books, I felt a hand on my shoulder and jumped against my locker. "Woo... are you ok?" Matt asked with a worried look on his face. "Y-y-ya , you just surprised me a little." I said back to him trying to sound natural. " Kai what going on? You been acting funny all morning." Matt said to me. "Its nothing really, lets get going the guy's are waiting for us remember." I said walking away.
"Finally dude what kept you two?" Johnny asked, I looked away trying to avoid the question. "ask him he's been all freaky on me all morning." Matt said with a little annoyance. I glared at him hard, "Nothings wrong, Just a lot on my mind that's all." I said to them. Jen looked at me kind of funny and then smiled, "Maybe he's in love?" She said. They all looked at me and Matt almost fell on the floor when he was about to take his seat.
"Oh come on now Kai, Who's the lucky guy? Come on you can tell us." Jen asked even more curious then before. Johnny was calling the name of every guy he though were gay. Kelly was looking at my bag for any clue's as to who he could be. And Matt just kept his head down not saying a word. "Jen there's no guy so stop with the names Johnny and Kel leave my bag alone." I said a little annoyed. Nothing was said after that but Matt just said nothing and kept to himself, After lunch we all headed to our classes for the final day of school.
`Brrrring' The last bell for school, Everyone was out running for the bus or to there cars. I walked to meet them, I was pulled into a class room and heard the door close and the blind pulled down. And two arms went over my shoulders to keep me in the corner, "Going somewhere." asked Kyle. "Home I have to get home and make dinner before I head to the fair tonight." I said to him.
"Your going to the fair tonight?" He asked me, "Ya with Matt and the others." I told him and looked away. "Look at me Kai" He whispered, I just shook my head and Closed my eyes. "Look at me!" He said with a bit more force. And still I didn't look, He grabbed my chin and turned my head and said "Open your eyes." When I open them he was looking at me the same why as last night. He leaned down bringing his face close to mine, "Stop Kyle, Please stop." I asked him almost in tears.
`BAM' the door was kicked in, "Get the fuck away from him or you ass is mine." Matt growled, "NOW!!!" He shouted. Kyle pulled away from me and whispered "see ya later" and he was gone, I slumped down to the floor shaking not able to move my body. Matt came to my side and asked if I was ok. All I could do was nod my head, He got my book bag and pulled on to his shoulder and came and carried my out to the hall which was empty by now.
The others left on Johnny's car so I would only be Matt and me, He got me in and buckled me in, and we left the school parking lot.
We went to my house and I pulled my self together on the way. "Thanks Matt, I don't know what he would have done if you hadn't come along." I said with a smile and a nervous laugh, But he just stood there looking down. He's whole body was shaking. "Matt are you ok?" I asked walking to him, "Matt?"
I was about to lay my hand on his shoulder when he grabbed it and pulled me in to him. " Matt come on stop it you goof." I said but he just held on "No, Not anymore Kai...I won't hold back anymore." He said back to me. "Matt, what's going on? What are you talking about?" I asked him..."Matt answer me." I yelled at him trying to brake free from his embrace, "Don't...Don't pull away Kai" Matt said making me stop my struggle. "Kai" Matt began, "Kai I-I-....
