Lugging their own carry on off of the bus and towards the snowmass, their feet making memories in the snow that grew with the frequent snowfall. The flakes that rested from the sky were thick, like little balls of cotton candy.
"What dumbass forgets his gloves in his luggage?" Yeji scolded Elijah for putting his gloves in his luggage and not in his carry-on. Now, he had to carry his things with uncovered hands, and it was below freezing in the Aspen air.
"This dumbass!" He sassed her, cursing how heavy he made his damn luggage.
They both seemed to naturally stop in their tracks when they saw the girl ahead of them, admiring the view, taking pictures and catching snowflake clusters with her glove-covered hand.
"It's so beautiful here!" She smiled, her scarf around her neck nearly covering her mouth, but it didn't cover that shining smile. Naturally, she looked over, making eye contact with the brunette and smiling bigger, her shoulders shuddering in happiness.
Yeji smiled too, happy to see her best friend so innocently happy, this was why she loved the holidays. But as more than a friend, she forgot about everyone else for the quickest second, imagining she was here with Ryujin alone for a date.
In this scenery, the big snowmass behind her, the pure white snow falling silently into her dark hair, and the way she smiled at her like she's the happiest she's ever been. It made Yeji feel like she did something to make her smile like that.
"Ok... I will wait for this girl." Elijah changed his mind about giving up, looking over at Yeji, who chuckled and looked at him, beginning to walk again.
"Simp."
"Heartless." Elijah snickered back.
Yeji mocked him and just then she was hit in the chest with a big ball of white fluff. Her jaw dropped and Elijah covered his mouth with his fist and burst out laughing at her until he too was hit with a snowball.
The pair looked at the guilty, the one wearing pink and the one who just seemed oh so innocent a few seconds ago. They were smirking and already holding more snowballs in their own hands.
"Oh, it is so– on!" Yeji quickly made her own snowball, Elijah following her.
They began to brawl with white fluff, getting it all over their clothing and hair. Screams of joy piercing their bubble, making teachers wonder why there was so much screaming outside of the student buses.
"Hey! Hey! Let's get settled in the hotels first!" One of them said as he got off the bus with other students, "Then you can fall off a cliff for all I care." He said with a normal voice. "Ok! Students gather around! Ok! We would usually split it, one half of the alphabet goes to one hotel and the other to the other hotel. But we have significantly more rooms in Limelight than Viceroy. So, last names starting with letters A-S will be staying in Viceroy and T-Z will be staying in Limelight. Viceroy stayers, please follow Mrs. Williams and T-Z please follow me."
The group cheered at the fact that they would all be staying in the same hotel, now to end up with rooms together? They can only hope. They know that Elijah won't get paired with any of them, girls get paired with girls and boys get paired with boys. And in addition to that, one of the three girls will have a random roommate.
They did the check-in, Elijah ended up with some dude from the yearbook club, Yuna and Ryujin ended up together and Yeji ended up with Madison. Just her luck, right?
"You're in a club??" Yeji questioned catily towards the brunette once she entered the room and saw her.
"Yoga club. What club are you in? Lezzo freaks?"
