"Snow, wake up! You're going late to school if you stayed like this!" Said a furious yet gentle voice. Ice woke up but sleep take over her as her body wished to lie back on the soft bed. Her mind became blurry as she thought all she want is, go back to sleep.

"Snow! Just wake up! This is your last day of school before winter break!" Hearing what her mother just said, Snow forced herself to wake up before yawning. She walked to the washroom like a zombie.

'Wait, winter?' She suddenly thought before her eyes grew widened. 'My birthday almost arrive'

Ice brushed her teeth harshly before washing her face quickly. She quickly changed her clothes before grabbed all things she'll need at school.

She quickly goes downstairs before going to the dinning room.

"Mother" she open up the conversation before sitting down. "Do you know what I want for my birthday?"

"You're already a big girl, you don't need any present"

"But! It's my birthday!"

"Okay, okay, what do you want?"

"Ten packs each of my favourite snacks for my stock in my room, and a new pair of sneakers"

"Is that all?"

"And..."

"And?"

"An amount of money for me to go shopping on my birthday"

"I guess I will have a hole in my pocket"

"Please..."

"Okay, okay"

"And tell dad to buy me a new laptop"

Ice quickly, finished off her breakfast before going to school.

As Ice walked along the pavement, she heard an annoying voice.

"Ice Snow Cream Erine!"

"Just fucking shut up" Ice glared at Mika as he have a puzzled expression.

"The heck why you did such face, idiot?" Asked Ice as Mika slowly smiled. "And why are you smiling like a horse?"

"Did I smile like a horse?" Laughed Mika as Ice grew an irk mark.

"What are you doing? Are you the escaped monkey from the zoo?"

"It jus-!" Mika keep laughing as Ice grew angry. "Just now, horse and now monkey!"

"Tell me what happen! Why did you make such expression then smiled!?"

Mika keep laughing before walked away. Ice fed up with Mika's attitude. She frowned.

"You idiot annoying Mika. I hope I can tie you with ropes before I put you in a bag then threw you into the sea" murmur Ice as she followed Mika, walked to the school.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"Shit!" Cursed Ice as she stomping toward her locker while Niya who was searching her books in the locker, notice Ice.

"Snow, are you okay?" Asked Niya as Ice glared her before consuming her business. Is it so hard to change the nickname? Thought Ice.

"Woah, I just knew you're deaf" Grumbled Ice as Niya shocked with her words. "And mind your own business, busybody"

Ice stomped away angrily as Niya remained froze on her spot.

"Wait! Sn- I mean, Ice! I thought you're Snow because you didn't wear any make up!" Said Niya as she tried to chase Ice.

Ice's eyes widened as she hold her face. "The fuck what?"

"Hi" said a voice as they both looked at the voice's source. They saw Amy look shocked when she saw Ice's face.

"Are you, Snow? Wait, why did you wear such clothes"

"Could you fcking stop calling me Snow" Ice walked away from there.

Amy immediately understood why Ice didn't wear make up.

"I get it"

"Get what?"

"You know Snow is such a sloppy and clumsy person. She rushed this morning until she forgot to wear the make up"

Niya was amazed with Amy's sharp thinking. "How can you..."

"Now, let's go to the class"

As they both walking to the class, a voice called out their name as they looked at the person, Mika who was now walking with them.

"Ice-Cream's birthday almost came up, do you want to make a surprise?" Asked Mika as Niya's eyes twinkling in excitement.

"That would make a great idea. We'll make a superb surprise until she become so happy that make she'll be Snow again"

"We make the surprises so many times for her birthday  already, so I don't think she would would be very happy until she want to return as Snow" said Amy as all of them entered the classroom.

While the teacher was lecturing, Ice played with her pencil, not bothered to listen what the teacher said. She keep playing with it until a paper flew onto her table. Ice open the paper and the paper read

What do you want for your birthday?

Judging by his handwriting, it's definitely from Mika. Ice glanced at Mika and saw Mika, smiling at her.

The heck no... I don't want anything from you. Besides, how can you still remember my birthday? You already forgotten the date, right?

After writing those, she passed it to Mika. After a few seconds, Ice got a paper flew onto her desk.

Could you tell me when is your birthday? All I could remember is that you born in December. How about you? Did you remember my birthday?

'24th February' that date flashed through her mind. She does member Mika's birthday but, she's too ego to admit it.

I don't give a damn to remember your birthday. If you want to give me gift for my birthday, anything is fine because it'll go into trash bin anyway

When Mika received the paper and read it, "That's harsh"

"So?" Asked Ice as she heard Mika's words.

"Miss Erine and Mr. Clive" said the teacher as all the other students looked at them.

"Please concentrate"

"Okay" both of them said in unison as Ice glared him.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"Hey Ana, what's up with that face?" Ask Ice when she saw Tiana have a pout on her face. Tiana frowned her eyes.

"Backstabber" she mumbled, making Ice to surprised.

"Bac- what?" Ice looked at Tiana in confusion.

"If you date with Mikael Clive, why didn't you tell me!? You know I have a crush on him. Why did you betrayed me? I thought you supp-" and with that, Tiana keep talking angrily while Ice sighed.

'How does someone annoying like Mika manage to have a fangirl? Where the heck that I date Mika coming from?'

"Enough Tiana, where did you heard it?"

"Everyone! Especially the one in your class! They told me that you and Mika have some sort of relationship and being caught by the teachers for secretly communicating multiple times"

"The fuck, I've never dated that idiot ass, how come that weird conclusion"

"Hey! You've been being too close to him"

"Close? You call that close? Fuck off. He i- hey!" Ice can't finish as Tiana angrily walked away.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

The school ended nicely. Ice walked to her room before fall onto her bed. She looked at room, the room is more tidy than the one in the morning. Perhaps mom tidy it, she thought. She stood up, tucked her fridge behind her ears before going to the washroom.

"Gosh, this fridge is somehow troublesome"

After a few minutes, she went back to her room before checked her phone.

Mika: how are you?☺

Ice: -_- shut up

Mika: wut happen 2 u, Ice-creamy? did you perhaps want me to hug you ; )

Ice: in your dreams

While, at another hand, Mika is lying on his bed while texting Ice, while smiling

Mika: just admit it,  you miss me right? 😘

His smile grew wider until his watch make some sort of noise, it's an alarm. He immediately took something out of his pocket before drink it. Then, he feel a little relieve.

Suddenly, he heard a knock on the door and a tall man show up. He looked like Mika but have a black hair and slightly more handsome. The man smirked.

"Did my lovely cute little brother have a nice conversation with his girlfriend?" He said as he sat at the corner of the bed.

"Yuck! Lovely? Cute? What're you talking about," Mika make an expression that want to vomit.

"You're a little lolita boy in my eyes, Mika. Anyway, did you have your medicine?" He asked as Mika nodded. "Well, just be strong, bro... and enjoy the life while you still can" he gave Mika a reassuring smile. Mika's face darkened.

"Okay" he manage to gave a little forced smile while his brother's words echoing Mika's mind.

'enjoy the life while you still can
enjoy the life while you still can
while still can'
