As soon as I opened the door of the icy cool heaven of a rooftop, as if to prove my thoughts true, chilly wind brushed on my face and through my hair, making me shiver in delight. Fog's presence could still be seen in the air. I sighed while rubbing my hands to feel a bit warmth. I was surely going to miss this cold foggy yet delightful season which we call winter.

Only a few days of winter were left. Spring were to arrive soon. Not that I don't like spring or something. But the thought of winter leaving again made me sad, just like it does every year.

But this year, it was a bit different. Because just one more winter was left. One more winter and then I'll be known as a former student of this high school.

Maybe I was overreacting to all these. Maybe I should be happy thinking that I'll be finally graduating from high school. But the thought of not being a part this school, I dreaded it. This school holds too much memories.

Sighing again, I leaned on the railing at the edge and thought back to all those times I spend in that high school. Those sure are good memories.

If I were to name a place of this school where I liked to stay most of my free time, I would probably choose this rooftop. It held memories that I'll never forget. And from up there, the whole school could be seen.

I took out the camera from my bag. This camera is one of the most precious things in my life. It was my mom's. Though it's an old model now, but that doesn't make me love it less. Whenever I'm taking picture with this camera, it feels like that mom is here with me. Guiding me of how to capture a perfect moment, just like she used to do when I was young.

My eyes scanned all over the campus. And whenever I found the perfect moment, I captured it. I kept taking a lot of of photos. Last memories of this winter.

"There. See, I told you she'll be here." I heard a hyperactive voice saying from behind and a smile automatically formed on my lips knows just who the person was. Without turning around I just kept doing my work.

"Wow Sunmi, you're so smart." Yoona's voice laced with sarcasm making me chuckle silently. "Who could've possibly ever guessed that she could be up here?"

I could already imagine Sunmi's long faced expression after hearing that. Finding me in the school was probably one of the easiest work to do. All who knew me also knew that I'll spend most of my free time up there trying to improve my photography skills.

So, can't see Ra Eun anywhere? Just go to the rooftop.

"You're sarcasm wasn't appreciated." Sunmi's voice finally muttered out. "And you, stop acting like you haven't noticed us yet you sneaky dope."

It actually took me time to realize the comment was meant for me. I turned around shooting a cheeky smile towards Sunmi and turned back again continuing my work like I never saw them.

I knew just how much it irritated them when I would ignore them. And excuse me if I was wicked enough to love annoying my pals.

Though my back was turned towards them, I could clearly feel petulant expressions that were directed towards me.

It was all so predictable.

However, what I didn't predict was Yoona coming towards me and snatching the love of my life slash my camera from behind.

I swiftly turned around to face Yoona, looking at her incredulously but didn't make any sudden move. Because if I did, then it might fall on the ground by accident. She eyed my camera up and down before looking at me again.
