November slipped and slowly December established. Winter break was welcomed with open arms and I felt amazing not having to write any more essays, not that it bothered me anyway.
I ball of snow hit my window and I let out a tiny shout of surprise, then I opened the window and another one hit my face.
I wiped the wet and cold snow from my face and saw Jimmy and Arthur looking afraid at me. They have angered the Ice Queen.
I quickly put on warm clothes and some mufflers and get out to beat them until they cry.
"Please don't kill us!" Jimmy ran behind his older brother and he wasn't feeling any braver either.
Arthur gulped and ran away, letting his little brother out in the open, and he yelled trying not to get in my way, but I threw many balls, only a few reaching the target. I ran, I guess, through all the neighborhood and occasionally encountered some other children playing in the snow. Tired of searching for Arthur, we started singing:
"Do you want to build a snowman?
Come on let's go and play
I cannot see you anymore
Come out the hideout
It's like you've gone away!
We used to be best brothers
But now we're not
I wish you would tell me why
Do you wanna build a snowman?
It doesn't have to be a snowman..."
No reaction. We continued on:
"Do you want to be a snowman?
Or ride our bikes around the halls?
I think some company is overdue
I've started talking to the pictures on the cars!
It gets a little lonely
All these empty rooms,
Just watching the hours tick by" and we tick tocked.
Still no answer.
"Arthur? Please, I know you're in there...
People are asking where you've been...
They say "have courage", and I'm trying to,
I'm right here for you,
Just get out!
We only have each other
It's just you and us
What are we gonna do?
Do you want to build a snowman?..."
He suddenly jumps on Jimmy and I and knocks us into the cold snow.
"Arty!" Jimmy yells and hugs him. "I was so scared! Elsa's voice sounded so sad, I almost thought you would never come back!"
"Where would I go? You two are here!" he said and I hugged him too. Then i shoved some snow in his voice. "What, did I get you worried too?"
"I have to pay you back" and I shove some more snow, then I wipe it from his eyes and lips, but Jimmy shoves some snow on my face too and I scream, and they all laugh.
