It's winter time, cloudy and cold, perfect for snow, but... The snow hasn't fallen yet. And in a bench at the park there stands a girl who is looking forward the most for the snow to fall.

A: Ughh come on~ why isn't the snow falling yet, it should've fallen already...
N: Yoo Astra, whatsup!?
A: Oh hi Nina- she says in a dissapointed tone.

Nina is Astra's best friend since childhood, she had just come from voleyball practice to meet up with Astra.

N: Awww, why so down?
A: Isn't it obvious? It's already winter and not a single drop of snow has fallen.
N: That's it? Come on cheer up, there can be worse...
A: How can it be worse?

As Astra says this a young boy with a large bag comes behind her, at that moment the bag rips and the telescope inside his bag hits Astras head.

A: OUCH!!
N: ASTRA ARE YOU OK!?
CH: OH MY GOD IM SO SORRY!
A: Ugh, it's ok, I'm alright... Nothing to worry about.
N: Im so glad you're ok- she says while weeping and hugging Astra.
Ch: I'm very sorry, my bag ripped while walking. Again im very sorry, how can i make it up to you- says the young boy in a regretful tone.
A: It's ok, it's not like you did it on purpose, so let's just forget about it.

As she says this she smiles to the boy making him fluster a little, he liked her smile so much that it made im blush. So he tried to hide his face under the scarf and made it seem like he was cold.

Ch: I... I still feel bad about what i did, even if it was unintentionally, i really want to make up for it.
A: I told you, it's not a big deal, so you can just forget about it, i mea- what the, where did he go?

Without finishing her word the boy had left further from them, he turned and said:

Ch: I PROMISE WHEN WE MEET AGAIN, IM GOING TO MAKE IT UP TO YOU!
A: You... YOU DONT HAVE TO!
N: My what a passionate guy. Also kinda cute, dont you think?
A: What.. Uhh... Anyways let's go home, it's getting pretty cold.
N: Yeah you are right. Brrrr!

The girls leave the bench to head home, but Astra kept thinking about that young boy's look when he looked at her.

𝘈: 𝘠𝘦𝘢𝘩 𝘪 𝘨𝘶𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘩𝘦 𝘪𝘴 𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘥𝘢 𝘤𝘶𝘵𝘦...

The next morning comes, and yet again Astra is waiting for Nina at the exact same spot as yesterday so they could go to school together.

A: Why... Is... She... Late... Again! Ughh... Man it's cold, brrr!

She says while putting her face under the scarf. At the same time the young boy from yesterday appears beside her. They're faces become flustered as they try to say hi to each other.

Ch: O-Oh hii...
A: Ohh...uhhh...hiii?
Ch: Oh right, we havent introduced each other.
A: Right...
Ch: Im Christopher.
A: Like Christophor Colombo XD.
Ch: NO, and it's Christopher with an e -_-.
A: ok, ok im joking XD. Nice to meet you Christopher, I'm Astra.
Ch: Nice to meet you too, Astra. Btw i still want to make it up to you for what happened yesterday.
A: Ughhh.. Fine, you have time until the first snow falls, how about it.

She says this while giving a big smile to him, and it makes his heart race. But just as we was about to answer they hear a scream coming towards them.

N: ASTRAA~
A: N-NINA!?

It was Nina, she was driving in a slay with high speed and it didn't seem like she could stop it.

N: ASTRA WHAT DO I DO?!
A: DON'T WORRY NINA, ILL FIND A WAY!
A: What should we do?

She says this to Christopher in a worried tone. As he sees the slay coming faster he shouts:

Ch: WATCH OUT!

He grabs Astra and pushes her out of the way before Nina hits her. They end up in the ground holding each other.
In the beggining Astra saw that Christopher had blue eyes, but now she saw that he had different colored eyes, apperantly he was wearing contact lenses and it must've fallen off when he pushed her, so she thought.

Ch: Are you alright!
A: Y-Yeah...

Astra was blushing hard because she liked his eyes a lot, and she teied to hide under her scarf.

Ch: You sure?
A: Y-Yes i am.
Ch: thank god.
A: wait where is Nina?
N: Uhhhhhh.... Help?

Nina had crashed into a bush while she was in the high speed slay.

A: Nina are you alright?!
N: Yeah, just dizzy.
A: How did this happened?
N: Well, i missed the bus, so i decided to use my imagination.
Ch: Yeah, bad idea.
A: Come on, we are gonna be late for school.
N: Yes.

They come to school 5 minutes late, but they manage to say bye to each other before leaving to they're classes.
As he waves at them, Christopher remembers Astra's words while smiling.

𝘊𝘩: 𝘐 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘮𝘪𝘴𝘦....
