The Snow Girl

Chapter 12

I hurriedly walked to the hall.

I knew that Kevin had questions edged on his tongue.

Not that I was avoiding him but Gracey must've been worried why I'm taking so long. I was pretty nervous using my powers in front of them but I just had to get it over with. Whatever happens, I think I could deal with it. Maybe .

We entered the hall. It was scarcely empty but there were voices echoing everywhere.

"It's almost lunch time", Kevin said looking absentmindedly at a sofa. He was a bit close to me but not invading my personal space. I could feel curiosity radiating from him but he kept his distance.

A delicious scent hit my nose and I hummed unknowingly.

Kevin giggled,"You're going to love aunty Jean's cooking. C'mon." I blushed slightly embarrassed.He made a small shy smile before walking off.

Aunty Jean was right. There was something different about him. Maybe it's those eyes of his or the fact that he's curious about me, which was strange. I mean I've met persons who were curious as to why I looked so white and cold but they feared me too much to ask. Kevin on the other hand treats me just as any other person so far. Aunty Jean's words flashed across my mind.

"He's always fascinated by what most people call unusual. I have a feeling he's going to be around you a lot"

I wonder if she's right? Or maybe it's his fascination why he's being so kind?

Kevin's voice pulled me into reality. "Elizabeth?" His voice was warm with concern. So were those big chocolate eyes. Although quite far apart, I could see the brown swirling like a river of hot liquid chocolate ready to be eaten. A burning sensation in my chest caught me off guard and I heard ice being shaken.

I glanced at the cup shaking due to my hands trembling.

What the- ?!

I blinked a few times and it stopped because I gripped it harder. My heart beating a lot faster than it should.

Ooookk. This is weird. Like super weird. Why did my chest burn me? Did Kevin's eyes do that?

It's not like me to think of someone's eyes like that either. Especially because I feel uneasy when I'm around warm stuff.

But they-his eyes were different.

My head snapped up as I heard footsteps. It was only Josh with the igloo on his shoulder.

Why am I so nervous?

I took a deep breath. I felt my powers at ease. I frosted the cup slightly. Yep, my powers are fine. Then what the heck just happened?!?

" Aren't you guys going for lunch?" Josh asked as he walked smoothly towards the kitchen. I suppose he got over the ice thing. He seemed much better and it was just then I realised he was quite muscular. I saw his arm muscles flex under his skin as his hand shifted on the igloo. I clenched the cup again.

Ugh! Did I even notice that?!

It's not like I've never ogled anyone before but this was kinda creeping me out. Especially that intense stare from Kevin's eyes that made my chest burn within me.

I glanced at Kevin. He fidgeted a bit and his eyes now had a quizzical look as he glanced my way. I quickly averted my eyes and with a deep calming breath, I followed the direction I saw Josh going.

The incident played over and over in my mind as the noises from the kitchen got louder. I kept questioning why it happened or how it happened. It was like a fresh new feeling which made me feel soft. But for some strange reason, one question stood out more than the rest.

Kevin's hand reached and pushed open the kitchen door. And for the brief moment that our eyes met again the question stood boldly at the front of my mind.

I wonder if he felt it too??
