Chapter 7

"Snow!" I said breathlessly and quickly beside her- awestruck. Sure we've seen it on T.V but to see it in real life for the first time- let alone it happening in central Queensland in Australia is practically impossible but yet despite my eyes here it was falling from the sky. "What the heck is going on!" came Flic's voice, bearly a whisper from behind me. Aquilla just gasped at the incredible sight. Not being able to contain it anymore I ran, out the door, around the steel building support and jumped off the little mound the sports center was on. I've always made myself promise the first time I see snow, no mater how much, I have to jump into it, I guess to prove it's real. "What! Was that for!" Sky demanded more than asking a question, her voice full of concern."Basically I made myself promise the first time I see snow, no matter how much I gota jump in it- sorta prove it's real" I explained. "Well in that case-" Sky didn't finish her sentence because she to jumped in and landed face first.

Standing up she spat out a mouthful of snow, shaking she dusted herself off, standing next to me in knee deep snow. "It's cold!" She shouted and quickly made her way up the mound on the side of the sports center. "No shit! Look at me! I'm shaking!" I shouted as I to climbed up behind her. Once back inside warm and fed we packed up while Flic and Aquilla insisted to go look for car keys, I swear they did it so I could be left alone with Sky again, infact I think they did do it because before they left the winked at me while smirking and glanced towards Sky's direction before raising their eyebrows. Great friends they are- truly. Anyone would be able to detect sarcasm in that.

"We found keys to one of the teacher's cars- don't know who's but I dont care, it works!" Aquilla said as she tossed the keys at me. One packed car and ten minutes later we where on the highway into Gracemere. "Makayla, no one's around and you can speed up you know instead of doing the speed limit" Flic said not amused beside me in the passenger seat. " Fine- but we dont know what's happened or if anyone is around, I mean what if Rocky was evacuated because of a fire or something else! I don't know!" I told her and a sound of agreement came from Sky behind me. "Okay who's house first!" I said, slowing down to go around a makeshift roundabout, Aquilla had checked her house first because she lived close by the shcool. Unfortunately she'd only came out with the most valuable things to her and a warm outfit.
