Winter Snow

Carol's Point of View

Someone like you covered by V (from BTS) inspired me to write this story. Here is the link to the song if you want to listen to it while you read this story. I would recommend you listen to it in the background if you are reading this on the computer or a laptop.

I sat on the bench and I took out my phone. I frowned. He told me not to be late. Where the heck is he? I let out a heavy sigh and closed my eyes. Gosh, it's cold.

Just then I heard running footsteps. "I'm here!" I open my eyes and looked at him. How can he run in this weather? It is so cold! He stopped in front of me and took a deep breath. His hands were on his knees, and he kept on breathing at a fast pace. He must've sprinted or ran really fast. No one can be tired for this long. I crossed my arms. I was about to give him a lecture when he held up his index finger. "Let me explain." I dropped my hands and gestured him to sit down. He takes the offer.

"I know, I know. I told you not to be late and I am the late one, but unlike you I have a good excuse." I roll my eyes.

" I have reasonable excuses!" I shout at him. He chuckles. I shot a glare at him. " I'm serious."

He looks at me. "None of them are good. Once, it was summer and you were 30 minutes late and what was your excuse? Oh, I remember! You said that you were tired and you wanted coffee! So you made me sit on the beach alone for 5 minutes in the hot sun while you went to Starbucks. You didn't even get me any! Then on the way, you saw your 'friends' and talked to them for about 30 minutes. Then, when I was about to leave, you came and gave the lamest excuse EVER!" He mimicked me in a horrible way. "But this, but that. I'm so sorry! I had to use the bathroom for 45 minutes. Hope you didn't mind!" I punched him.

"I do NOT sound like that!" He laughs. " Besides, for the first time in FOREVER, I am finally not the late one. Now what's your lame excuse?"

" Overslept. Also, my mom brought grandma over so I had to stay at home for a few extra minutes at home to talk to her. I love my grandma at times but sometimes, I wish she doesn't come in my way when it comes to hanging out with my friends." He sighed. " Anyway, let's go to Starbucks. I am freezing." He looks up at the sky. He groaned. "I should've checked the weather! I thought it would just be in the 40s! It looks like it's going to snow." He stands up and gestures me to go follow him. I follow him and we walk to Starbucks. Once we got there it started snowing lightly. We both found a table and sat down. I look at my watch. It is only 9 in the morning and it is snowing. I shake my head.

He gets up from his seat. "I am going to order our drinks. What do you want?"

"Caramel frappuccino please," I reply instantly. It's my go to drink. He nods and goes to the front desk.

I took out my phone and I tapped on instagram. What's new today? I scrolled through the pictures till I felt a tap on my shoulder. I turned my head to see who tapped me. It's a guy who I never had seen in my life.

A flash of disappointment spread across his face. He smiled and said, "I am sorry, I thought you were someone else." He sighed. He left with his head down. I looked back at my phone and turned it off. I saw Ethan heading towards me and I wave him over. I grab for my frap and took a sip. Ahh.

Ethan looked at me. "Who was that guy?" I look at him confused. "What guy?" Ethan pointed to the guy that had tapped me on the shoulder. "Oh, so you saw. He mistaken me for someone else." I shrugged. He looks outside. "So, we're going to be in here for a while." I look out the window. Snow is covering the sidewalks and streets. Less and less cars appeared. I overheard 2 other ladies next to us. " I checked the weather this morning. This snowstorm is unexpected." I take a look around to see who is stuck with us. The 2 ladies, a couple, the guy who mistaken me for someone else and his friends, and a bunch of 20 year olds. I glance at my phone's battery percentage. 75%, not bad. I power it off and I sighed.
