Chapter 1

The chill of the cold winter wind ruffled my hair and blasted straight threw my jacket. The sun, at the very least, gave us some warmth, walking up the steep hill my breath visable from the steam floating away from mouth. It was a cold winter school day, Tuesday, infact not only the coldest day of winter but the year, let alone since the 1960's. We'd had reports that it could snow tonight, last time it did snow was sometime in the 1960's. Right now even 12°C felt like -5°C, my friends and I had just been dropped off by the bus and we were making our way up to Wandal- an IGA shop across the road and up the hill across from the showgrounds.

The doors opened and instantly the hot air from the store rushed out. The store was so busy you couldn't walk two meters without bumping into someone. This was the busiest I'd seen the store, infact I think this is the busiest the store's ever been. Making our way threw the crowd, practically pushing someone and saying sorry every few seconds was the only way we were ever going to get threw this crowd. "Makayla, your not normally this quiet!" Felicity, my closest and longest friend yelled over the wind and crowds. "I-uhh-Flic, just the space"- "I've never been so claustrophobic in my life!" I shouted back, putting on a sheepish grin. She was younger than me by a year yet she and I changed heights from time to time, meaning one was always taller-just. She had blue eyes like me but she wore glasses and had dark-lightish brown hair that last year she'd had it cut like a boy. While we were wearing the same uniform you could yell us apart always. Flic was lean and looked skinny, I on the other hand looked bulky especially with my broad shoulders and my short but strong athletetic legs. I don't know, Flic says I look like I've got the perfect stature of a hockey goalkeeper, which I am, for four years now and I still manage to get better at every hockey ball I stop.
