When Frost Bites

New Home New Faces

"Shit!," I complained.

"All of this, shit!"

Usually everyone leaves out all if the hard work and makes the parents do it all. Ha. I wish.

But my mom likes to make me do everything, while she scopes it all out.

She is scribbling in her journal, and muttering to herself as I grab the first box from the truck.

"Don't swear. You sound like your father."

She had the nerve to-

As I was about to rebuttal, I fell and the box of expensive glass cups broke on the cold hard ground.

It is so freaking cold here, much to my dismay. I grew up in the hot sun. But here? There is actual ice.

I'm screaming.
No really.
You just can't hear it.

I cursed again, and tried lifting myself up only to fall again. Damn gravity.

My mom looked up for a second and sighed. She slowly put the pen behind her ear and glared at me.

"Really Maya? Really?" She jabbed.

I layed back, and fought back the tears that were fighting there way out.

"Yes mom. Really. Can you by chance, help me up?"

The sigh I got in return, just made me madder. So, I just got up and stormed inside.

I called behind my shoulder, "Get someone else to help you. You already took away everything else. You can't take away my ability to walk."

Her reply was a simple beep of her phone, signalling her calling some worker.

Well. Now I'm screwed. There was literally nothing in the house. I guess I can stare at the wall.

My phone was in the truck, and I was not planning on going out there again.

However what I had found in my room was shocking...I guess... 

Well, at the time it was shocking.

I wish I had a normal sibling, but I was blessed with my older brother who suffers from, lack of vitamin D. SAme luke. 

We get along fairly well, despite him being older, and therefore he has nothing to do with chores. 

Anywho, when I walked in my room, I had found my window open, and 2 spindly legs poking in my room. 

"Shit!", I barely had time to compose myself, when the legs swung and turned, maneuvering so that the  rest of his body was visible.

"Dude, those are snowflakes!", my brother cried out. 

I had slid down my wall to my floor, clasping my hands together for reassurance. This is not happening. 

"Duh, it is snowing. OH! I call dibs on indoor cleaning. Good luck shoveling snow, Lukey Pookey!", I jumped up, pushing my brother to the side, so I could look outdoors. 

I heard a sharp intake of breathe, and the traveling footsteps toward me. I quickly ducked under, as a traveling body flew over me, and towards the wall. 

"Ow.... I am going to get you MAY!"
