Zino

I have to step up my game. I've been on three dates with Cora and so far she hasn't even let me walk her to her door. And Mateo – that asshole – has been in her room. I sit at her table at lunch.

"Hey!"

"Hi Zino", she shines at me.

We talk the whole lunch break. Afterwards, I follow her to her locker. I pull my hair out of my eyes and Cora bites her lip looking at me. I ask her if I can drive her home after school and she agrees to it.

Cora

Zino parked his SUV outside my house. It's snowing. I step out of the car and I turn my face towards the sky letting the snowflakes slide down my face.

"You look beautiful doing that", Zino whispers as I open my eyes to look at him. He gives me a shy smile.

And before we even reach the front door I've started a snowball fight with him in the front yard. We're laughing and throwing snow at each other. He grabs me at the waist and holds me tight, I feel his body and arms capture me and my heart starts to throb faster in my chest. This would be the perfect time for him to kiss me. He doesn't. What is it with these boys? Am I not kiss worthy? We keep our snowball fight up for a little while. It's fun but after a while my hands feel frozen. I call truce and invite Zino inside for some hot cocoa.
