Zero's POV
For some time now, I've been sitting on the bus waiting for us to leave, even though I think it won't be soon. I held my favorite book in my hands and read it quietly, even though it was hard to concentrate on anything because of the students annoying voices.
I was looking out of the window where I saw the students standing in front of the bus with big suitcases and smiles on their faces. It was nice outside, it was cold and the snow was falling, there were snowflakes falling on the bus window and everything was white. I thought about how blood would be perfectly visible on the snow, and the feeling of seeing something so beautiful made the atmosphere around me even colder, but it was a pleasant feeling for me.
„Why are you focusing on that stupid book and not me? I'm your f*****g girlfriend!!" she said loudly into my ear and leaned her head against me.
Girlfriend, huh?
Just from her stupid comment I wanted to laugh, but I enjoy playing this game with her. I didn't take my eyes off the book because it was more interesting then her at this very moment.
„Baby!" She said louder making the students look back at us.
Loud and stupid like always, this is exactly the type of people I despise the most.
I slowly closed my book even though I didn't want to. I was tired and my mood was completely s**t because of her.
„What do you want me to say?" I asked.
„Say you love me" she smiled at me.
Love?
The feeling of wanting to laugh in her face was growing stronger. Well, on the inside I was laughing my ass off. She's really fun to watch when she tries. Love her?
The only thing I love in this world is killing sinners and watching them bleed to death.
„Fine...I love you" I said with a fake smile.
She kissed me on the cheek and smiled at me from ear to ear. Interesting how easily one can fall in love and fall for any lies. It always surprises me how naive girls like her live in a fantasy world with the idea that someone really loves them and how easy it is for them to fall in love with someone and overlook the truth that is hidden behind lies.
I leaned my head against the window and I stared at the falling snow. It is a pleasant feeling to feel the winter breeze and the cold. My gaze was fixed on a young lady with an overly honest mouth who could not keep a secret, and her friend who runs around her like a frightened puppy and hasn't got balls to tell her that he loves her.
In that moment I realized how stupid the both of them are, they are funny at the same time and it made me let out a small laugh. Chloe immediately looked at me.
„What's so funny?" she asked and looked out the window as well.
„Our favorite couple just arrived" I smiled.
„You mean that dumb b***h that broke my nail and that i***t who is obsessed with her?" she laughed as if they weren't even close to where she is.
Believe me Chloe if I was Ria the broken nail would be the least of your worries. I would do way worse things to you, for example cutting that annoying tongue out of your mouth.
„Stop looking at her like that! She's disgusting! You're supposed to be looking at me!" she said.
Oh my stupid Chloe she is not disgusting she is interesting ... her red cheeks and full lips are really kissable. Her skin is as white as the snow, but I would love to see her beg for her life. Just the thought of her bleeding out makes me excited.
I opened my book again and started reading. We will enjoy ourselves I promise.

Ria's POV
The road was long and boring and it was really impossible to read in such noise, so the only thing I did was look out the window. Everything was nice and white like from a fairy tale. It reminded me of the days when my mother and I played in the snow when I was little and we were building a snowmen. There are many nice memories that happened in the winter. One of them is with Jasper......
When I was really young I liked to play outside during the winter on a playground that was close to my house. During the winter, I always built a snowman with my mother who helped me. I remember I didn't have many friends at that time because we moved to a new house and everything was new to me and my mom.
Once when I was on the playground alone, I remember a bunch of boys that were older than me. I know that the snowman I built with my mother was destroyed and there was nothing else I could do but cry. So I sat on the cold snow and cried and was ready to cry my eyes out.
Maybe I cried for too long or my my mind was playing tricks on me, but I remember that when I calmed down and opened my eyes, my snowman was back to what it was. It wasn't the same as before, but it was there.
I remember crying even more, and a boy with pink cheeks and short brown hair ran up to me and patted me over the head. I remember at first glance he looked like a girl with those cheeks and pink lips. However, his smile was bright and he said a sentence that I will remember for a long time.
„Don't cry, everything will be okay...I built your snowman again so that you aren't sad and you can smile"
From that moment on, Jasper and I met on that playground more and more often, and he was my only friend who has been with me until now.
„Why are you smiling like that?" Jay brought me back to reality.
„Remember the first time we met? It's funny how many years have passed since then, right?" I smiled.
„You're right, it was a long time ago but it's a nice memory. You were a cry baby and very cute" he said squeezing my cheeks.
„And you looked like a little girl" I said.
We laughed.
Yes, it is precisely these memories that I want to keep deep in my heart and reminisce about them when I am alone. So that I always know that I have my mom and Jasper who will always be there to support me in everything I do.
I leaned my head against the bus window and closed my eyes, please let this trip be really nice. I want to collect as many memories as possible with Jasper before we go to college because I'm sure that our paths will diverge and we will follow our dreams alone. I know his mom plans to send him to college somewhere far away, and Jay is just afraid to tell me. Therefore, please make this trip really beautiful and worth it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Why can't I order this food you have it on the menu!?? Do I even have an appetite for something like that? Maybe I should get something to drink or have something sweet! Ew sweets...
„Ria!!!!" Jasper shouted near my ear.
„What's wrong?!!" I asked, frightened, looking around where I actually was and found that I was still on the bus.
„First of all we are here, second of all you must be really hungry since you are talking about food in your sleep" he laughed.
My cheeks flushed red and I felt embarrassed.
„That's okay princess, I'll buy you something to eat so come on we got to get of the bus, because we are the last ones here" he took my backpack and his and we got of the bus together.
It was freezing outside, and I was shaking because of the cold. I'm stupid for complaining about the cold in our city. This is really cold!! I put my arms around me and tried to warm up at least a little while Jasper searched for our suitcases. My hair was blowing in the wind and my gaze was focused on the mountains that were visible in the distance behind our hotel.
They are beautiful just as I imagined. It's too bad my mom can't see this beauty I know she would've loved it. Maybe I can bring her here some time with me.
My gaze was fixed on Zero, who stood not far from me, and just like me, he was looking at the beautiful view and mountains in front of us. His outfit was all black, giving it a more mysterious and cool impression that suited him completely. Maybe i was just imagining things, but I saw a hint of joy in his eyes, even though I might have imagined it because I was incredibly hungry.
A murderer likes mountains and snowboarding... I didn't even realize that I smiling at the idea because I thought it was quite funny but cute at the same time.
I paused at my thoughts and looked away from him.
Cute?!!! I think I'm going insane!!! Oh my god Ria you should eat soon because it won't end well!
„Can we go?" Jasper asked me, while holding our suitcases in his hands.
It looked very heavy so I offered to help him, but he refused and with a smile he started walking towards our hotel.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After staying in my room, which I note was huge and about 10 times bigger than mine, I lay down on a huge bed. I couldn't believe I was really here and happiness flooded my whole body. I was smiling from ear to ear and was glad to be here with Jasper. Although the idea that I can't snowboard at all is scary.
I can do it! It's not that hard!
My thoughts were interrupted by a knock on the door.
„Come in" I said loudly.
Jasper appeared in the doorway with food in his hand. Just from how nice it smelled, I knew it was spaghetti, I recognize my favorite food anywhere.
„So how do you like it here so far?" He asked and put food on the table that was in my room.
„It's beautiful, but it amazes me how big this room is" I laughed.
„It's nice to hear you laugh Ria" he smiled at me.
„What now? What is going to happen, will we go on the slope?" I asked all excited.
,,For someone who can't snowboard you seem very excited" he laughed, continuing to eat his spaghetti.
„I'm just glad we are finally here together like we planned" I said.
„I'm also very glad Ria" he grabbed my hand and pulled it.
„In a few minutes we are supposed to gather in the main lobby downstairs on the lowest floor where the teacher will tell us how we are divided into groups and who will teach whom to snowboard" he said.
„I want you to teach me, it's going to be fun!" I may have been more excited than usual, but being in such a beautiful place and not enjoying it would be a sin.
„Of course I will teach you, who else would do it?" I saw that he was also happy that we were here together and I was very happy for that. After all, that's what we wanted, isn't it?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After a good dinner, Jasper and I hurried down to the main lobby, even though it was really hard to run through so many corridors with a full stomach. The whole hotel was really beautiful and big but too extravagant for my taste. I felt as if I was in a castle for really rich people. It is true that I am not used to such luxury and that this was probably nothing for the other students, but for me to see something like this was really fascinating.
When we finally came to the main lobby, we were greeted by 4 teachers. I didn't know anyone but Mrs. Bolton that gave us the application forms. From what I've heard from Jasper, these teachers have been in charge of the whole trip for a few years now, and it's supposed to be quite a lot of fun with them, except for Mrs. Bolton ... she is said to be very strict and is the one making sure no students drink alcohol.
"I welcome everyone who took part in this trip and I'm sure we will enjoy it together this year as well. Let's hope of course, without injuries'' Mrs. Bolton welcomed us and laughed a little at the last sentence.
"I would like you now to divide into groups of who can snowboard and who can't snowboard, please let the students who can't snowboard stand on the left side and the snowboarders on the right" she said, indicating where the students should stand.
I joined the group that didn't know how to snowboard and I was surprised that there are only about 10 of us with me and Rebecca. Of course, of course these rich idiots will know how to snowboard, what else was I expecting? What surprised me, however was that Rebecca didn't know how to snowboard. I mean she was rich enough, paying for this trip was like buying candy from a*****e for her. What did she do on those trips years before, if she didn't snowboard with them?
I stood there waiting for what was going to happen and prayed that I would be paired up with Jasper, otherwise this trip would turn out to be horrible.
"Great, now I'm going to read your names and assign you to a student who will teach you how to snowboard, the students last year were paired up with a friend and didn't learn anything at all because they just kept talking and having fun instead of snowboarding, so I decided to assign you to someone, myself'' she said sternly, looking at the whole group where I was.
I now understand why Rebecca didn't learn anything, her partner was probably Chloe.
At the sound of the last sentence of what the teacher said I panicked slightly. Did they divide us according to themselves?!!
My brain stopped and I tried to process her words, that means I won't be with Jasper? I didn't even notice that half of the students in my group are already divided and standing next to their partner, only me and Rebecca were left.
„Rebecca....I paired you up with...." she put on her glasses and looked at the paper she was holding.
„Jasper, he's very talented I'm sure he'll teach you a lot" the teacher said.
Wait what?! I didn't understand and it looked like Jasper was also surprised, but then he looked at me with a sadness in his eyes.
Before I could say anything the teacher jumped in.
„And lastly Alexandria Smith... I paired you up with Zero Wilson, he's been snowboarding for a couple of years now, so you'll have a good teacher" she took of her glasses and looked at me with a smile.
My heart stopped, this isn't how the trip was supposed to go!
With slow steps, I stood next to Zero, who was smiling broadly at me and I could see in his eyes he wanted to kill me..
„I told you we would have a wonderful trip together, pancake" he whispered in my ear.
