Out Of Bounds

The Mountain Top

Riiiiing!Riiiiiing!  My alarm clock rang. Yippee! we were going to the mountains for a great day of skiing.  I could hardly wait, we were going with some of my friends too, Isabelle and Tessa.  Finally at nine fifteen we got in the car to go pick up my friends, they lived only a few blocks away.  When they got in the car they looked at me then suspiciously looked at each other, something was up with them.  "hey guys, you excited?"  I said.  "Of course we are Daniella."  Tessa said sarcastically. Her eyes had a certain glare that would burn you inside out.  During the car ride Isabelle was texting some girls from our class they knew I did not get along with.  "Hey Tess an Izzy" my Mom said "Who ya texting, we don't allow phones in the car. Sorry girls" My faced turned beet red, I guess I wasn't the only one who knowed, Isabelle said "Are you okay Danny? You don't look so good."  then she flicked her long elegant hair.  From now on I hate those two people.  I didn't know why I ever became their friends, maybe because they were the cool kids, but why did they accept me as their friend, nothing was cool about me, I have long brown hair that never looks how I wish and I wear jeans all the time.  When we arrived at the mountain  I knew this wouldn't be fun.  I stood beside my Mother the whole time and never made eye contact with Izzy or Tess.  My skis made my shoulders feel  heavier, I was already holding a load of stress on them.  At the first ski run I heard Izzy and Tess whisper saying "Daniella is such a wimp, she can't even ski a green run."  At that time I probably had steam coming out of my ears.  I stomped over to them and said "Did you just call me a wimp? The only people  here who are a wimp is you two! You never were my friends!"  Then tears fell from my eyes, when they hit the snow it was beautiful even though I was angry out of my mind.  The snow was like sparkles, or fine diamonds that lay on the ground ever so beautifully.  The first run we did was called ZigZag,  and I knew exactly why, back and fourth back and fourth it went, so did I as I glided through the snow.
