To the Moon and Back

CHAPTER 1

*THIRD PERSON VIEW*

The cold breeze sent shivers down people's skin as the winter spirit flew above them.

He gripped his wooden staff as he jumped from posts to posts.

His chuckled at people's reaction from his unknown presence.

"Jamie! Let's go, we're going to be late!" A kid across the sidewalk happily spoke

Upon hearing Jamie's name, he instantly flew to the other sidewalk to greet him, "Hello there, kiddo."

Jamie swiftly embraced him, feeling the coldness of the guardian's body.
"Jack! I'm glad to see you here." he smiled at him after not seeing him for a long time.

Jack ruffled Jamie's hair, missing the kid who first believed in him,
"Sorry, I've been busy being a guardian."

Jamie glanced at his watch and gasped, "Oh no! I better hurry!" he started walking faster.

He noticed Jamie's uniform and his bag on his back,
"What are you wearing? Where are you all going?" he added when he saw the other kids going to the same direction

Jamie continued speed walking and chuckled, "We're going to school, Jack. Wanna come?"

The winter spirit levitated to catch up with Jamie's walking because he preferred flying than walking,
"Will it be fun?"

Jamie's face lit up with excitement as he ran towards the school gate.
"Of course it is! Especially during art class!"

Jack slightly tilted his head and asked curiously, "Why so?"

The young boy walked past some students when he entered the school ground,
"Because of Selene, our first class teacher. She is the best art teacher you could ever ask for. She's not only incredibly talented but also very patient and understanding. When you're in her class, you feel like she genuinely cares about your progress and happiness."

The winter spirit got intrigued by the glowing praise for Selene,
"That sounds almost too good to be true," he said, slightly amused. "It's been years since I've attended a class, but this Selene seems like a gem. I wonder if she could teach me a thing or two."

Jamie's face fell, realizing Selene is an adult,
"Sadly, you're only visible to kids who believe in you," he said apologetically. "Selene won't be able to see you at all."

Jack Frost chuckled, unfazed.
"That's alright. Being a spirit of fun means I can always find creative ways to join her class without her realizing"

*school bell rang*

Jamie opened his classroom door and saw his classmates seated,
"Just be quiet and don't cause any trouble, okay?"

The guardian of fun straightened up and decided to go in quietly,
"I won't, I promise. Let's see if I can cause a bit of fun in her class."

Jamie nodded and hurriedly sat in his chair, waiting for class to start.

Meanwhile, Jack patiently waited at the empty seat beside Jamie, telling the kids who could see him to stay quiet and pretend to not see him.

Minutes later, a young lady entered the classroom.

Her hair was half up tied with a blue ribbon clipped to the middle. She was wearing a denim jumper dress with a white blouse.

She has light makeup on her face, making her look presentable and lively.

As she entered the room, the energy of the class lifted. The kids sat straighter, eagerly awaiting her words and guidance.
