Today was Christmas. I guess it's exceptional to be thinking of my parents. The police still never found my father's body, but his clothes were by the lake near the road where the car crashed. They knew it was my dad's because his wallet was there. 

Mom and dad's company where they work sent me a lot of things for Christmas. They were nice people and I'm glad my parents got to work with them for years. 

The weather outside was really good for a snowing December. Though I still needed a jacket to go outside, me and Apollo went for a walk. We talked a lot, and I'm happy I met him. He told me his name isn't Kenneth. That was his father's name, which I would have to meet in a few weeks. 

My pet is a wolf, who is a werewolf. His human form is my gorgeous science teacher, Mr. Kenneth Larson. But that wasn't his real name. His real name was Elias Larson. That name fits him so much.

Give me on moment.

Apollo ran to a wide tree and then I heard some weird sounds and groaning. I don't know how, but a wolf can actually turn human. Only a werewolf though.

"Hi." Elias went out of the tree and smiled at me. He was so gorgeous.

"Hello." I grinned back. When he told me his real name last week, I started looking at him differently. His face seemed to change. He didn't look like that teacher I met months ago. He looked more dark, and has a mischievous look.

"No one will recognize you here, right?" I asked, and he took my glove-covered hand in his. He wore a light jacket that wasn't enough to be warm, and jeans and shoes. It's a mystery how werewolves are always warm.  His touch makes me warm, and it's a relieving feeling.

He shook his head, smiling.  "No."

It would be weird if people from school saw me holding hands with my teacher.

"Hey." He whispered, stopping me. We were already in the park, which I hadn't noticed. The tree house was just a few meters from us and he lead me there. He climbed up and then waved at me to come with him. I hesitated. 

"Is it gonna hold us?" I asked, looking up at him. He shook his head then told me to hurry up. I breathed out, and fog came out of my mouth because of the cold.

I reached the tree house in just seconds, and it was a big enough room for us to move around. He took my phone from my pocket and started scrolling through I dont know what. "Hey!" I said, trying to reach but he was too tall.

He set my phone on a table at the corner and a song came up. "You and Me" by Lifehouse. It was a beautiful song. 

"May I have this dance?" He said in a low, soft voice. He put his hand up and I nodded my head. "You may." He took my hand in his and we slow danced. My jacket was unzipped, and when he twirled me around, he managed to take my jacket off so I can move easily. I wasn't cold one bit because he was warm.

We danced, and he had his left hand on my waist, and his right hand was held up just shoulder-level with my hand. I placed my hand on his shoulder and we stared at each other's eyes while we danced around the tree house. It was big enough for us to move around.

The song came on to the chorus, and Elias sang while we danced.

" 'Cause it's you and me, and all other people with nothing to do, nothing to lose.

And it's you and me, and all other people

And I don't know why, I can't take my eyes off you."

His voice fit the song perfectly, and then when he said the last line, he spun me around gracefully. I twirled, and then he caught me. We followed the rhythm of the song, and by the end of it, he dipped me, then kissed my forehead. I closed my eyes as I started to feel his lips move down to my lips, where he kissed it ever so lightly.
