"First!", Patrick yelled when he came to a stop at the big tree first.
"I didn't know you could run so fast with your short legs", Tyler said, breathing heavily in and out.
"I'm not even that small!", Patrick said.
"Even Pete is taller than you", Josh chuckled, "and it's not hard to be taller than him."
"Hey, I heard that!", I said, being the last one who arrived at the tree, nudging Josh in his side with my elbow.
Then I felt something could being thrown right in my face. I stumble back and shook my head to get the snow out of my face.
"Alright, who of you peasents did this?", I asked, already taking my own snow ball, ready to throw it at someone. Unfortunatly every one was pointing as someone different, so I just sighed and threw the snowball to Tyler, who got the chance to move aside quickly.
"Hah! I was faster!", he said right before he actually got hit by a ball which was thrown by Josh, who started to laugh loudly.
"This calls for revenge!", Tyler said back, throwing the next ball at Josh.
Then another snow ball landed in my face, causing me to narrow my eyes. Just now I realised that Patrick was giggling next to the tree, a snowball already in his hands.
"You did that? And I thought we were friends", I said, fake-pounting.
Patrick stepped closer, a grin laying on his face.
"We may are friends out there", he said, pointing at a random street a few meters away, "but here I'm gonna throw as many snowballs at you as I want."
"Yeah, you think you can do so?", I asked, forming the snow in my hands into a ball.
The I put the snow right on Patrick's neck, causing him to let out a small scream.
"Pete!", he yelled, jumping around, wiping the snow away from his jacket.
"What? Is it cold?", I asked, smirking.
"This calls for revenge!", Patrick said, starting to run after me. I took my chance and immediately ran away, laughing.
He was fast, one of the fastest people I know, so he easily caught me after a few seconds. He wrapped his arms around me to hold me tight. Then he picked up the snow and threw it right in my face. He laughed loudly, when I screamed and flinched away.
"I told you 'this calls for revenge' don't be surprised", he laughed while I was trying to wipe the snow off my face.
"What is going on here, between you two lovebirds?", Tyler asked, a small smirk on his face as he stepped closer.
My cheeks were turning in all shades of pink and I glanced over to Patrick for a short moment just to see his red cheeks too.
"I was just kidding!", Tyler said, "but your facial expressions were hilarious."
Then I nervously laughed at Tyler's statement, scratching the back of my neck. I had a crush on Patrick since we met in high school, this was one and a half year ago, but I still didn't manage to tell him.
The awkward silence was interrupted by a phone ringing. Josh immediatly picked up the phone call, talking a bit. In the mean while I just stared at the snow, not daring to look at Patrick and I guess he did the same. Even Tyler noticed the mood change.
"Mum said I have to go home now, because she makes dinner already, she asked if you guys also wanted to come", he said, putting the phone back.
"Yeah that would be great", Tyler said, "What about you two?"
I nodded and answered: "Yes, your mum cooks delicious."
Patrick also agreed to follow us, so we all walked straight to josh's house. He and I were behind Tyler and Josh who both were just talking about something I couldn't quite catch.
I felt something tap on my shoulder, causing me to turn my head to Patrick, who gave me a small smile.
"What?", I asked, narrowing my eyes.
"Guys we'll come later, I just need to tie my shoes", Patrick yelled at Tyler and Josh, who just mumbled an 'ok' , being too much distracted by their conversation.
But instead of tying his shoes, he pulled me with him behind one of the trees.
"What was that?", I asked confused, but he suddenly laid his lips on mine.
I was petrified at first, but the kiss didn't last that long. The next thing I saw was Patrick pulling away giving me a small smile before walking to Tyler and Josh again.
I think I just stood there, a big grin on my face.
"Don't you come?", Patrick asked after a few seconds causing me finally run after the boys....
