I walked over to the lake after Cassandra's "little" lecture.  When I looked down into the lake fish were frozen with it.  It looked as though it was animated.  I walked over the bridge to have a better view of it.  The bridge was slick and I slipped with every step I took.  I grasped the edge so I wouldn't crack open my head.  Even the edge was slick, so it wasn't much of a help.  I lifted myself up to see over the edge to see the the lake better at a different perspective.  "Janice" called a way too familiar voice.  It was my little brother, Teddy Tergey.  I unwillingly looked back to face him.  He was 18.  I am two months older than him.  It feels good to have accomplished that.  I guess it isn't much of an accomplishment.  Once Teddy saw me struggling he smirked.  I looked away.  He is always best at everything and I am sick of it.  He quickly walked over and rearranged my stance so I wouldn't slip.  I grew disgusted with him.  Did I mention he is also a huge bragger?  I fell and slid back to the icy grass.  The grass froze my hands.  I got up with a purple face with red blurred with it.  I looked back at the lake and sadly walked home.  Cassandra swooped by unexpectedly and made a smile on my face.  That is mainly why she is my best friend.  I looked back at the lake one last time and smiled.  Even if Teddy is annoying we are family.  He is okay I guess.  I love nature.
