I shivered and pulled my jacket closer around my shoulders. Snow drifted slowly to the ground as I walked home from school. I slipped on the ice and dropped my book bag. Books tumbled out of the bag and into the snow. I cursed under my breath and bent down to pick them up. As I stood up a car slowed to a stop next to me on the road. I glanced up to see my dads unconcerned face peering at me from the drivers side window. I sighed and walked around the car. As I opened the door, he asked, "Why are you walking?" "I got tired of waiting." was all I said. He shrugged and started to drive.
I looked out the window to avoid my father's gaze. The drive was quiet, the only noise was the tires hitting puttles of water. As soon as my dad pulled into the driveway I jumped out of the car and ran up to my room. As I closed the door I let out a breath and looked into the mirror on the opposite wall. Staring back at me were MY green eyes, framed by MY black hair. MY fair skin was flushed from the cold and MY heart shaped face looked worried. MY features softened as I realized nothing had changed. I let out a shaky breath and glanced nervously at where I had hidden the letter. I walked over to the desk and opened the drawer where it was hidden. After lifting a bunch of papers and pens, I saw it and sighed with relief. I closed the drawer and went to sit on the bed. My phone buzzed so I picked it up, "Hey Evelyn" the text from my friend Jade read. I dropped my phone on the floor without replying, I would later.
Right now all I knew is I had to get out of here.
