Free-Falling

"Guy!" I shouted running into the office.

"Guys."

No one answered and they were all still typing.

"GUYS."

Still nothing.

I sighed,"Geoff?"

"Geoff come on. What did I do. Why are you ignoring me."

He still didn't reply so I left the room and ran all the way to Ray who was still with Barbara.

"Ray!"

"Michael!"

"Barbara!"

I laughed,"Yes Barbara we see you."

"Really, cause I can't see myself."

"It's called a mirror." Ray replied and I smiled.

"But anyway what's up?"

I was practically huffing out of breath from running all the way back.

"It's snowing outside."

"Really?" Barbara said grinning and I nodded.

"Yeah. I tried to tell Geoff and them but they didn't reply."

"Dude." Said Ray,"SNOW BALL FIGHT!"

I laughed and together we both ran back to the office to grab sweatshirts while Barbara did the same for herself.

The gents still ignored us while I scrambled to throw on my hoodie.

"Oops. I left mine with Kerry." Ray said and I grinned.

"Idiot. Go get it."

"I'm lazy."

He moaned while I laughed at him.

"By the way. Isnt it still fall?"

He shook his head,"To be honest I don't know anymore. And isn't this Texas?"

I nodded at him.

It was true. It was snowing, in Texas.

We've gotten snow before but snow like this isn't common at all.

I fixed the hoodie eventually and pulled on the hood while he ran out the door to find Kerry.

"I'll meet you outside!"

I laughed and agreed as I walked out the door.

The place was literally a winter wonderland.

It must have been snowing all day by now because it was caked on the streets.

I felt the crisp cold air pierce my thin hoodie but the cold was the least of my worries.

I looked over to see kids across the street at a nearby park in the distance.

I put my hands in my pockets as I walked around in the snow, my shoes almost falling off with each step.

I heard laughter and I turned to follow the voices.

I was brought to the other end of the building and I ran around the entire thing before reaching my destination.

"Burnie?" I asked seeing him alone in the snow with his back toward me.

He then turned around at my voice and greeted me with a hello.

"What're you doing here?"

"Well..." He said, a smile forming on his face.
