The winter was unusually cold this year, the bitter cold freezing everyone. Even more so in the early morning, it may just be because you were so used to the Aussie weather.

You were stood shivering waiting for the first bell to ring, your friends Darren Quinni and Amerie, just talking as you desperately tried to keep warm.

You’d made the mistake of not wearing enough layers, claiming a coat wouldn’t match your outfit.

That was until a oversized puffer jacket was draped over your shoulders, warm hands brushing against you.

“Better?” Malakai chuckles, mocking your cold.

When Malakai was new to the school he didn’t have anyone to talk to, that was until you showed him around. You had been his first friend, and ever since that you’d been very close; joined at the hip even.
