Amy, Martin & The Elements Of Winter

9. How To Finish A Meanie

"Have a nice day, kids!" the teacher said. "Have a nice day," we replied. I got up from my place. "Sarah, do you want to go home with me?" I asked. She came over to me and nodded. We silently walked out of the classroom. "Hey, Amy?" "Yeah?" I replied. "In front of us there is this mean guy from the eighth grade!" I looked to the front. He came closer to us. "Hey you little chicks, do you have money for me?" he asked cheekily. I looked into his eyes and coldly replied,"No." He looked at me. "Listen up you little chick, give me the stupid money or I will hurt you somehow. He moved his face closer to mine. I could smell his perfume. It smelled like boys but really handsome! Sarah was watching from the other side. I smirked and pushed him back. I wasn't afraid of him. I didn't fear anything. He wouldn't be able to hurt me. I would probably have some bruises, that's all. I had my magic. I could easily finish him. "I know you're bigger than I, I know you want me to be afraid of you. But I am not afraid of you. You should rather be afraid of me!" I spoke. He looked at me suprisedly. "You- you little..." I grinned again. "If I was you I wouldn't mess around with a girl like me! Because I have something you don't have!" My eyes were glowing in an ice blue shade. I couldn't stop grinning. I closed my eyes to feel the cold running through my body. In my hands a cold ice blue mist appeared. It felt cold. He looked deeper into my eyes. He was afraid now. "Your eyes, they are cold," he said. I showed him my hand. The cold mist got colder. "I've told you, don't mess around with me! I give you one more chance to escape without anything, otherwise..." I showed him my hand again. He gulped and whispered,"I'm sorry!" After that he ran away. This is how you finish meanies! Sarah was brave enough to take a step to the front again. "Your powers and confidence are amazing, Amy!" she spoke. "And you are an amazing friend!" I replied. She smiled I smiled at her. It was a true smile. One of my last true smiles.

I went home. I opened my window. "Hi, mom!" I called out. It felt like she was back in this world, alive. I had so much to tell her! As long as I could talk of course. There wasn't much time left.

I had one more day and two more nights left. This was the time I had to laugh, cry and talk. To laugh and enjoy life. To cry the rest of my tears. And to say goodbye to my happy self.
