It's the beginning of the friendship

Everyone is sleeping in their homes inside their warm blankets, why don't they come out and see how wonderful our city looks. I was the only one cycling in these lonely streets.

When I reached Beckey's home, Marto and Cassie were already there, standing outside the door. I parked my cycle nearby and reached near them. ″Hey, blondie. Hey, freckles" I greeted. Marto rolled his eyes and growled, "Stop calling me that." "Good Morning Jack!" said Cassie. "Morning, what are you two waiting for? let's go inside." I said and rang the bell. After a couple of seconds, the door opened. Beckey popped out from the door. A big smile flashed on her face, "Hey, look who's here! Jack, Cassie and Marto...I was just thinking about y'all. Come inside please". We followed her until the hall. "First of all, I'd like to apologize for my yesterday's behaviour. I don't even remember what happened yesterday, but I always do crazy things when I'm drunk" Beckey said. "You don't need to apologize for anything Beckey," I said, "We are here just to make sure you are alright because you didn't look in a good condition yesterday". "oh you don't need to worry about me, I can take care of myself, I've trained for all these. That's why I'm a boxer." Beckey declared. "But why are you doing all these at this age? I mean you are so young" Marto asked. " My mother and father died when I was of 13 because of me" Beckey suddenly said in a very cold tone, "My life is full of danger and I don't want y'all to involve in that". Wow, wow,wow....why did she say that? I wondered. The words she said hit me so hard. Did she just say that her mother and father died because of her and why is her life dangerous. Beckey's words were cold but she still acted like she did not want to. "It's fine!" Cassie said, "We won't push you to tell us everything but you can share anything anytime with us with an open heart". "Oh Cassie" Beckey chanted, "look, I really appreciate that you all came here to check out on me and thanks a lot for that but you don't know how complicated and messed up my life is. Everything bad happens with me, so I'm okay with myself, I don't wanna hurt anyone". The first day when I met her, I didn't have any idea that this girl would have these many secrets inside her. She behaved fully normal now I am getting clear with this slowly. She was so different person at that time. I think she is maybe connected with Mafia or something. "We understand Beckey, well it was nice talking to you. I think we should go now," Cassie said. "Already?" "yeah, we will be in touch okay? bye for now," Marto said and they both disappeared. I was also going to leave but then,

"Can I say something Beckey?" I asked.

"Of course Jack, what is it?"

"You can hang out with us whenever you feel lonely or if you'll have a bad day because you know, sometimes when you are getting through some highs and lows, then friends do the best healing thing. I know you prefer more to stay alone but, don't you think being alone eats us alive sometimes. I don't know what your intentions are and what is dangerous in your life but I know deep inside there is one innocent Beckey. I will not even push you to tell me but you need to get yourself out of this shit".

Beckey lowered her eyes without any action, just leaning towards the wall with folded arms. I opened the door to leave, "Jack?", and she called me, I turned back. She flashed a smile and said, "When are you all heading for skiing?". I smirked.

The next day at Pole B mountain.

"Why isn't she here yet?" Asked Marto.

"I told her we'll be here before five but-" I remarked.

"Perhaps she changed her mind?" Cassie uttered.

"Yeah, perhaps"

"I think you told her the wrong mountain Jack"

"No! of course not Marto, she knows where we are"

"Watch out guys!!" a screaming voice came from behind...CLUSH!! It was Beckey who was on her snowboard and she came in lightning speed and made us snowman. "dafuq!!" Marto shouted, "you have a weird way of showing up Beckey". Beckey laughed and said, "sorry for that, lets play snow fight now!".

"Alright-" I started, " Beckey and Cassie will be in one team and I and Marto will be in one". "okay, let's start". we've made a small wall of snow for defence for each team. There will be 10 balls for each team and the one who'll hit the maximum number of balls will be the winner. we all hid in our snow wall shields to make snowballs.

Beckey peeped from the small wall to take a look on the opponent's area. She said, "Cassie, I think they are ready with their snowballs". "Don't worry, our balls are ready too?" Cassie said. "1, 2, and...3 attacks!!" Marto announced and the Fight begins!! The first one to throw the ball was Cassie and it hit me right successfully. Girls team got one point. Another ball from Beckey, this one was going to hit Marto but I jumped in front intentionally and defended Marto. "Hey, isn't that a foul?!" Beckey shouted. "no," I said.

The girls' team was still winning, they have 8 points now and all hit me. ′ It was looking like Jack was defending Marto and Marto was doing something shady behind the snow wall. Another ball from Cassie missed!. The boys' team didn't even target one of the balls'. "Come on guys, do you want to play or not?" Beckey barked. I and Marto looked at each other and smiled. Marto said with a deadly smirk, "Now, we are ready". "Till now you were napping?!" Cassie shouted. I kicked our snow wall and exposed what we were doing. Cassie's and Beckey's eyes widened. Behind that snow wall was a gigantic ball of snow. It was as bigger as the snow wall. "What the f*ck are they gonna do with that?!", Beckey whispered to Cassie. "There's one more behind girls, ready to become a snowman?" Marto teased them. "No, no, no you can't do this!" Cassie begged. Marto and I grabbed that big ball and stepped slowly towards Beckey and Cassie. Beckey throws a little ball of snow towards Marto but Jack used his hand like a bat and hit the little poor ball returned to them and it smashed directly on Cassie's face. "Stop, we were supposed to play snowball fight. Isn't it?" Beckey said. "But we changed our mind," I said and ran towards them. but, the second we were going to throw it on them SMASHH!! Marto slipped and collided with me and we both landed on the ground. Our snowballs broke into a million pieces. "F*ck you, Marto!" I muttered.
