When We See The Willow part one

"Come on, Ingrid! We're gonna be late!" Harper said when she and her little sister, Ingrid, rushed out the door. The wind and snow made they're faces turn red as cars went down the quiet street. Harper closed her eyes. She wished it was summer again, the weather was terrible ever since they moved. Just snow. No warmth, even in the summers. School had been canceled many times before, it was too cold for kids to wait at the bus stop. "Harper, I'm cold!" Ingrid complained as her boot crunched up some ice on the sidewalk. "Ingrid, you know I can't do anything about it! Come on, we're almost there." She said as they crossed the street. They walked over a pile of snow, cut across the street, then hugged Ingrid goodbye. She disappeared around the corner, and Harper walked to the bus stop as she buried her face in her scarf. She thought about her old home. So many nature parks where she and her little sister could play all day. She sighed as her bus pulled up. She climbed on slowly.
