Chapter 32

Winter. The best season ever .. Well, to me it is. It started snowing days after Thanksgiving and I got really excited for it. The first few days were only little of snow, which sucks, but then more and more falls, and sooner, snow started to stick and stack on the ground. Some snowstorms happened, but nothing strong. The thing that I don't like about the snow is that it blocks my driveway and I don't have time to shovel it out of the way.

Hey ... I'm lazy ..

So I asked Claire to drive me to and from school, which she doesn't mind. It's December now, and everywhere you look, you see people putting up lights on their houses, children playing in the snow. Every morning, trucks with a snowplow attach on it would clear off the snow on the road, making it easier for cars to drive by, but usually, the snow would piling up to the side of the road, causing more blockage on my driveway. The day that Xavier called the break, I instantly went to Claire's house for some comfort from a best friend. I told her what happened and cried a little ... Okay, maybe a lot. School, suddenly, turn out to be just like it was before. Since Xavier and I are on a break, it showed like we haven't at all. We avoided each other .. Well .. More like he avoided me. When we pass by each other in the hallway, he would just glance at me, giving me no smile, no wave, nothing. Seeing that hurts a lot, looks as though he doesn't know me. During lunch, I would be in the library again with Claire and sometimes Calvin and Oliver.

Xavier told me that I have some sort of feelings for Nolan, feelings that could be possibly more than friendship. I don't know what he's talking about. The feelings that I once had for him is gone, never to be seen. The only feelings that I have for him is only friendship. Him saying that I, sort of, like Nolan hurts me even more. He probably think that I was using him to get to Nolan. Speaking of Nolan, he hasn't contact me since Thanksgiving. Just like Xavier, he completely avoids me. Not speaking to me, not looking at me when we pass by each other, nothing at all.

Like I said .... Just like before ....

Today, we have a snow day, meaning no school for the day. Feeling a bit chilly from the cold as I wake up, receiving a message, saying that there's a snow day. I wear a woolen sweater over a long sleeve shirt, a pair of dark washed jeans, and a pair of woolen knee socks; I'm wrapped around with two blankets and yet, it's cold. Some, or mostly all, people have heaters in their homes. Unfortunately, my isn't working at the moment, needing to be fix. I get out of bed, grabbing my phone, removing the two blankets that I was wrapped around with. I head downstairs to the kitchen. Yawning from my sleep, I walk in, grabbing a cereal off the counter. I, then, walk to the living room, deciding to eat the cereal from the box. Sitting on the sofa, I turn on the tv, then sticking my hand inside the cereal, grabbing a handful of it. My phone rings, startling me a bit as I stuff some cereal in my mouth. Putting the cereal box aside, I take out my phone, still chewing.

"Hello?" Sounding as though I'm eating something ... Oh wait, I am.

"Are you eating something?" I hear Claire's cheery voice.

Rolling my eyes. "Why, no, I'm just chewing for the fun of it."

"Don't act smart with me." Hearing ruffling on the other end, then small voices. Suddenly intrigue to know what those voices are.

"Claire ... Who are you with?" No response, but still hear a little ruffling. "Claire.."

"Okay, okay..." Hearing her sigh as the other voice quietly chuckles. "... I'm at Calvin's house."

Suddenly, I choke on my saliva and the rest of the food in my mouth, coughing roughly out loud.

"Scott, are you okay?" Still coughing.

"You're at Calvin's?"

"Yeah ..." She sighs again. "I know what you're wondering. No, we did not do anything. I came over to hang and watch a movie, but then, I fell asleep. End of story."
