I'm cold.... Why did I go skiing? Oh, yeah...to get away from the confusing mess of the outside world. Oh well, here I go. No doubt I look line a timid, lost girl wandering to one of the lifts for one of the smaller hills. That's what I am going with to start out with. Despite the freezing cold that accompanies winter, I am determined to have fun today. Smiling to myself, I stumble as best I can with skis into the lift where another person sits. To keep some distance I sit as close to the end as possible, but to seem like I'm not rude, I mumble a greeting and study my feet.
"Hey, Jade." This said with what sounds like a smile. My head snaps up in surprise as I study the other persons features when suddenly my stomach churns but I plaster on a smile anyway.
"Hey Ethan, how are you?"
"I'm pretty good, and yourself?"
"I'm okay."
"Just okay?"
"I'm tired, but plan on having fun today." He smiles and before he can say anything in reply I ask, "So, how's Megen?"
"Fine I guess." His face falls confused.
"You guess?"
"Yeah, I haven't talked to her in the last few days."
"Really? I talked to her yesterday. Anyways, what are you doing here?" I inquire.
Ethan perks up and proclaims with a smile.
"I love to ski and do other outdoor stuff. What about you?"
"I decided to try getting destressed." I admit. When do we reach the top? I look up with a sinking feeling in my stomach. Uh oh. We stopped halfway up.
This is a short introductory chapter but I plan of making the next chapter longer and hopefully more interesting.
