I smile feeding the squirrel . My two fingers gently , slowly rubbing its little back as It bravely ate its bread . "You should not run over the road like that Mochi " But he ran away into the shrubs beside my house . I sigh standing up suddenly feeling dizzy . "I should have some breakfast" .

Walking in I take my boots off dusting my hair off the snow that had fallen over it . " Mumma , I am gonna be late to school . Can I please have my breakfast ?" . She smiled sliding the bowl of yogurt and fruits in front of me . "Remember to wear your socks and take your lunch ya ? " I giggle nodding .

As a child I always forgot to wear my pair of socks . At the end I would always get my legs frozen . I wonder why ?

"Bye Ma and Pa . I'll see you later " Closing the door shut making some snow fall off the edges I walk down the stairs . I loved the thick white air which came out my mouth when I sigh . It always fascinates me . My high school was fifteen minutes away from my house . I think it would be stupid to get bus till there. However I do not feel my legs while walking up there in winter .

When I enter the class I always have my one friend waiting for me . Simon . His name is Simon . He is a smart guy with white hair and green eyes . I have always felt envy of him . Such unique features he had .

"Will you join the art club with me Iris ?" I smile. "Of course I will . Besides I have nothing to be interested in anyways " He gave me nodded drifting back in his notes . Signing up for the art club and walking out I spot him standing next to my locker . "Hey , did you bring your roller ? I need to see your last painting " I nodded walking to the canteen with him .

"Literally every single time ? Do they have nothing but this greasy pasta to serve " He whispered . "Do you want my lunch . I have so much I won't finish it all " He chuckled . " I won't mind " It made me smile as how much comfortable we were with each other since the first time we met . As soon as we finished our food we made our way to the art club . I really liked the fact that we were allowed to choose our own subject and not attend the class we were not interested in .

It some how sparked the love for drawing more inside me . Not that I was great in it .

"See , it makes a huge difference when you use a different brush " I smile nodding . Learning literature and painting was all that I wanted in my life . Nothing could be more exciting than that . But I must have gotten carried away . Because not long after I realise It was past noon . I was cooped up in my own world of painting so much that never realised that it had been about three hours and that the other students had left . Simon as well .

Grabbing my stuff and running to the door I shut it close and walk down the dark hallway . I opened my locker hating how the noise echoed through the dark empty hall and walked to the back entrance of the building . I had just learned that since the faculty members stay in the school till evening there was no problem in staying up till six after the noon .

However , walking down the empty road was quite scary . It was almost dark . It was too scary but I had to make it to the supermarket . I bite my lip grabbing the pack of cookie dough and some milk . "Should I buy some chips or should I get some instant noodles ?" Tough decision .

I end up buying both . "Thank you and come again " I wave at the girl on the counter stepping out in the cold and walking away . It was ten minutes later that I saw a bike with a man leaning on it . I gave my inner cheek a bite watching him as he played with something in his hand . Wow it was shiny
