It was a beautiful winter morning. It was still dark.
the lanterns light up the streets. I walked the way to school every morning, but in winter, I loved it the most.

I arrived at school. I saw a girl, I didn't know her, she must be new

so I went up to her and asked if she was new here. She just nodded. She seemed to be shy because she didn't look me in the eyes   

Later, we had an art lesson together. The teacher said we should do group work.I went to the girl and asked if she wanted to work with me. She just nodded
Again,and looked at the floor.

When we sat down at the table we took out our drawing books.
We started with the Tasks the teacher gave us. We looked at our books with concentration, but after a few minutes I looked up at the girl and ask: "what's your name actually?"
The girl looks up to me, I saw her beautiful eyes for the first time her eyes are had a beautiful blue
"Willow..." said she quietly, her voice was soothing and gentle
"Beautiful name, my name is ash"
Willow smiled, and dedicates hermself again to the task 

I couldn't really concentrate on the tasks, her eyes, her smile and her voice I think...I think I'm in love...

The day passed quickly. School was over, it was already getting dark

I was walking towards home, on the way I saw Willow, I went across the street to her, I said "hey" she greeted me too, I smiled and we continued walking together it was a pleasant silence

Suddenly Willow broke the silence "I like winter, it's beautiful and the days are short, the snow is also really beautiful"  

I was surprised that Willow talked to me like that even though she was so shy, I smiled so much I hadn't smiled like that in a long time. I told her that I love winter too 

Then Willow continued, "Thank you... thank you for talking to me today. I would love it if we were friends..."

"yes yes of course we can be friends it would be really nice" I said

After this conversation, the days went by pretty quickly. We met often and built a snowman together, we also laughed together.

It was December 22nd, it was snowing. Willow and I met in the park today. I was there first. I sat down on a bench and waited for her. Suddenly I felt a hand on my shoulder, it was Willow. I immediately stood up and hugged her in greeting.

We walked through the park for a while and talked about uninteresting things and sometimes laughed. 

At some point we stopped at a bench and sat next to each other

I had the feeling that I should tell her about my feelings for her, but what if she doesn't like girls and is disgusted. Whatever. I gathered all my courage. "Willow?" I began, she looked at me with her beautiful blue eyes 

"I love you... I have loved you since I first looked into your eyes..."

Willow seemed surprised but suddenly I felt her lips on mine and we kissed.

The next day at school we held hands, some students looked at us strangely and others made stupid comments, we ignored them at first but over time it got worse, we were even hit,

We couldn't stand all the bullying anymore

It was now Christmas. We stood hand in hand on the bridge. We kissed for the last time. We took a step forward and fell into the depths. "I love you" were our last words.

the snow was no longer white the snow was now red...
