Chapter 1: 17

The way he smiled made me smile. But not just smile with my lips, but with my stomach and my head and my hands and my toes and my heart. It was like my whole body was lighting up from the inside out and the only thing that I felt was joy. I also felt the frostbite creeping its way into the tips of my fingers and the way the cold wind was stinging my nose. But I didn't care because this beautiful boy was smiling and I couldn't look away for the life of me.
