《¤《¤》¤》

Jake pushed in the key and gently opened the door of his 94' El Camino for Camille before letting himself in, the sky was the colour of dish water again this morning, Jake hesitated for a short second and glanced into the distance beyond the snow-capped mountains,

"Snow? Maybe later" Jake questioned mother nature

"well, hopefully I'm still awaiting my revenge for that threatening snowball you launched at me this morning!" Camille raised her eyebrow and smiled at Jake.

Jake shoved his books and belongings down under the seat, to make room for Camille, he did decide to leave his favourite tracks on the dashboard in order to attract Camille's taste in music, Jake rushed the heat into his El Camino and rolled out of the parking lot, Jake smiled at Camille with Camille instantly smiling back and laughing.

"So ah Jake where we headed exactly?" she looked back at North star High

"Camille, we live in Alaska! I Know spot" Jake informed Camille with positivity

The El Camino swung a right on red and headed for the hills it seemed, Camille still curious held Jakes music collection like playing cards and put one in the disk tray "Daft Punk"

"let's hear it!" Camille was now excited

Just before leaving town district, they pulled into a gas station, Jake filled up the El Camino, while Camille handled snacks on the inside, Camille zoned out "I'm going on a drive with Jake, just the two of us, I'm going on a drive with Jake Allister!, just the two of us!" Camille almost dropped the snacks as she was putting all her focus on Jake outside at the pumps, she hurried to the counter as Jake was heading her way.

They drove for a fair bit more until the town wasn't as build up the occasional house or barn, the mountains didn't seem that far away when they kept going forward, eventually Jake turned off right into a small lane off the highway, Camille didn't notice it with all the snow hiding its path, Jake continued for about ten minutes up a lane that rose above all and hid the beauty of the Alaskan landscape, Jake stopped at a blocked gate and pulled over into the side not to block anybody, He gather his Jacket and hat, Camille took her lightweight jacket and followed Jake up towards the gate, Jake hopped it,

"woah!" he bragged about to Camille

"yeah?" as Camille readied herself

Camille was used to sneaking out her bedroom window onto the porch roof at night to admire the stars and occasionally the northern lights, this wasn't any different, Camille leaped and one handed the gate and impressed Jake

"Boom Jake!" as Camille raised her hands

"you had boots..." Jake excused himself from the embarrassment

They continued the hike up the white hill, crunching their footprints after them, the view was outstanding from the lane, they could see the old Alaskan Highway build back in WW2, all the way to past big delta to Fairbanks. Camille gathered snow and put together one big snowball,

"come on Cami, the last one missed you!" Jake now slowly backing away

"too late!" the snow exploded and went everywhere

Some of the snow landed in Jakes hair, Camille was quick to remove it as she always wanted to feel and touch up his hair, she went for it and succeeded in doing so, Camille was so attracted to Jake at this stage, it was almost destiny. The lane nearing an end and there it was, the spot Jake mentioned earlier on,

"this place is breath taking Jake!" Camille looked all around her, before looking down on North Star and letting out a giggle and turning back to Jake.

Camille came down to the ground and sat down, and admired the landscape in more detail, the snow-capped mountains surrounded it all, the town beginning to light up as winter evenings dropped in, the river, hidden by a boreal forest thriving with wildlife far off in the distance. Jake came over and sat down next to her, he wrapped his warmer jacket around Camille and she hugged him bringing them closer to each other.

"its beautiful up here I love it" Jakes calming voice puts Camille in a relaxed mood.

"Jake! It's a fantasy!" Camille was in real love.

Together they admired the magical energy flowing inside in them with one romantic view, and then their eyes met half way before drawing their faces closer and both now on the same page, lips pushed together forgetting the world around them, Camille raised her head up to Jakes making it perfect, Camille had never felt butterflies in her stomach like this before, they slowly emerged at the same time, and placed their hands around one another and hugged once more with passion, Camille looked forward at their new spot, their new school, their new town, And her new life waiting to be filled with moments like this.
