I found out that snowboarding probably isn't for me at all because my legs hurt so badly and I couldn't even snowboard down a small hill for children. I feel embarrassed just thinking about how children at the age of 5 know how to snowboard better than I do. I sighed and returned to the position I was in before.

„You have to bend your knees more, how many times do I have to repeat myself?" Zero said already angry and sitting in the snow.

I can imagine how boring it must be for him since he keeps looking up the slope every few seconds as if he didn't want to be here with me anymore, teaching a clumsy person like me must be really annoying and boring for him. My knees were shaking and my legs were seriously aching from the pain.

We snowboarded on a small hill for beginners where there were mostly small children with their parents. Even though I tried to keep my balance, I always fell and I'm not talking about how much snow I had in my mouth and in my hair.

I was lying in the snow and my body hurt. This fall was probably the most painful one yet. I closed my eyes and listened to the laughter of the children who were snowboarding all around me. I'm not enjoying this, not one bit. I was so angry all because I couldn't do it, but I still tried to get back on my feet. I tried to stand up and put all my strength into it, but I was so exhausted that I fell to the ground again.

„You're useless" Zero said uncaringly, but his face indicated that he was making fun of me.

„Just because you can snowboard, doesn't mean you can make fun of others" I said angrily.

His expression was cold and he looked at me with disgust as if I were just small person who means nothing to him. Of course, apart from the fact that his desire to kill me has increased more and more.

„I was going to help you stand up, but if you have enough energy to tell me off you can get up by yourself" he said, looking down at me as though I am a victim who is helpless.

„You're supposed to be teaching me and that means helping me you jerk" I said quietly under my nose so he wouldn't hear it, and I'd rather not even look at him.

„Did you say something pancake?" He knelt in front of me and leaned closer towards me.

My body was filled with fear and panic, he couldn't of heard me, right?

„I didn't say anything" I said quietly.

„Really? My bad, I thought you said I'm a jerk" he smiled but his face was dark as if to indicate to me that if I said something like that to him again, he would kill me.

What exactly is he? Does he have some kind of 6th sense or is it just intuition? Because I'm 100% sure he couldn't hear what I said.

„Let's make a deal, if you ask me nicely then maybe I'll help you up, how about that?" It was obvious how much he longed for me to beg him for help.

Is he insane??!! Ask him for help? I would never do that, even if they paid me!!

I gathered all my strength and tried to get up without his help.

„Naive and dumb, same as always, you wouldn't ask for help because of your stupid pride even if it were a life or death situation, you'd rather die then ask me for help, right?" his dark eyes were piercing through mine and his expression was colder. You could say I was getting colder just looking at him.

My pride? What about his?!!

I looked into his eyes and was afraid of what he was going to do next, I knew that I did not want his help after all. I am mainly on this trip because of him and asking him for help is cowardly, I won't stoop to such a level. He can be beautiful and have good grades, but for me he will still be just an ordinary murderer who kills people without mercy just because it helps him sleep at night.

„I don't need your help" I said quietly but at the same time coldly refusing to look into his eyes.

„If you're so sure then get up, we're going to a bigger slope" he said and snowboarded down the hill and waited for me at the bottom.

I gathered up all the strength I had and finally after about 10 minutes I managed to stand up without his help.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It was nice on the ski lift, the snow was falling and it was cold. The view of the mountains was really beautiful and it made me feel at peace. Every time we went higher, I felt a little calmer. I really wish my mother could see something like this, although she can't snowboard or ski because she didn't have the opportunity to learn how to, but I want her to at least see how nice it is from above.

My gaze was focused on the people skiing down, and I ignored Zero sitting next to me. I could feel him staring at me, but what was more interesting, was how people were skiing beneath us.

There were small children with their parents who were laughing and were happy, their parents also laughed and the whole atmosphere around them was really nice to watch.

My eyes spotted Jasper teaching Rebecca to snowboard in the middle of the slope. He held her hands nicely and she tried to keep her balance. My heart hurt to see the two of them together on the slope. Didn't he say he hated her? But he still held her hands tightly, as if his life depended on it. I wanted Jasper to teach me and I feel so sad to see them together right now.

I turned my gaze to Zero, who was no longer looking at me but his gaze was fixed on the mountains in front of us. The higher we were, the more visible they were and of course, much bigger. I didn't even realize it, because until now I was looking at them from the bottom of the slope.

The way up was silent and it was surprising that Zero has no stupid comments, but when I think about it I never heard him talk much or smile, but who knows maybe he's choosing his victim on the slope who he will kill later when everyone is asleep. I wouldn't be surprised after what I saw.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My gaze was fixed on the slope that was below me and fear filled my whole body. The wind was blowing a lot and the people I saw from the ski lift below me on the slope looked like ants. My legs began to shake, and the thought of snowboarding down something like that was unimaginable.

„It looks as though you're scared pancake, do you want me to hold your hands like your little friend is holding Rebeccas?" He asked me and laughed.

I thought his gaze was fixed on the mountains, but it looks like he saw Jasper and Rebecca after all. Lately it has occurred to me that he has his eyes everywhere and that he is not only watching me but also all our classmates, and I find that creepy.

„Can we go or are you just going to stand here?" he asked as if I was a hassle for him.

I was really scared, because it's high up and if I fall, I'll fly down the whole slope straight to the bottom. Just the thought of what the pain would be like made my legs shake even more.

„Should I push you to finally make you move or are you waiting for me to ask you nicely?" there was a hint of anger in his voice.

„Don't you dare push me, I'm warning you Zero!" I said in a shaky voice, now I don't know if it's because of cold or because of the idea that he would really be willing to do it.

„Oh really? At first you have the guts to call me a jerk and tell me off, but now your legs are shaking from fear. Maybe it was time for me to have some fun after sitting in the snow bored and looking at how incapable you are" his face was dark and his black outfit gave him a intense impression.

He grabbed my hips and pushed me down I tried to push his hands away and my heart was pounding like crazy. I tried to get out of his grip but he was holding me even tighter than before and refused to let go.

„Fine, I'll ask again pancake..are you really not going to ask nicely for my help?" he whispered in a rough voice near my ear.

My heart was pounding and I felt sick over how high up we were on the slope and how his hands kept me from flying down. My life was in his hands. But ask him nicely? It's like asking a demon to kill you!

„So?" he said quietly.

My head was spinning and I was more than sure that I would faint, which would be the better case scenario. I know exactly what he was up to, he wanted me to do what he says because that's what he wants from every single person who crosses his path and laughs at him or tells him something he doesn't like. Because he's so full of himself and so narcissistic that he's happy when everything goes his way. My body was full of fear but at the same time anger and especially hatred for the person who stood behind me.

He pushed me lower and I let out a soft scream and held his hands tightly which were placed on my hips. Although I know the basics, to fall down something like this at full speed and from such a height is suicide.

„Your pride still won't let you say the word please, right? You don't give me any other choice pancake" his hands let go of my hips, I turned around and grabbed his hand.

Although my pride won't allow me to ask him, but if I have to go flying he will too. My eyes were full of tears, but I still stared at him with a piercing gaze and my hand held his wrist.

„So this is how you want to play?" he asked and a smile appeared on his face.

He pulled his hand away so hard that mine slipped out and the only thing I could hear was his last quiet words.

„Have a nice trip down, this will hurt"

I felt like I was gaining speed and the cold wind around me hit me right in the face and I didn't even know where I was going. My eyes hurt because my tears literally froze in my eyes and everything I saw was blurry. I waved my arms and tried to stop somehow, but the further I went the more I realized that I was going faster and faster.

My hair was blowing in the cold wind and I put my hands in front of me. Every single skier I flew past was looking at me, and they were more or less avoiding me. I looked around to see if I might find Jasper because he's my only salvation at this point.

Time stopped when I looked to the right where I saw Jasper still teaching Rebecca to snowboard and how she had just fallen and he offered her his hand with a smile. That's exactly the kind of smile he used to smile at me. He said he hated her and the now he was able to smile at her with the same smile he used to smile at me. It seemed to me as if I had been deceived and my heart was aching, my best friend is with someone else, and when my life is in danger he is still able to smile.

My body fell at full speed on to the snow and I closed my eyes tightly. I don't even remember how many somersaults I did, but remember the pain that came after, the pain was as if i broke all the bones in my body and the only thing I could look at was the sun that burned my eyes through my ski goggles.

Maybe I'm dead?

The snow in which I lay was cold with my body unable to move.

„Hm interesting, I wasn't expecting you to hold yourself up halfway down the slope" Zero said with a smile on his face and his snowboard braked at full speed in front of me.

He knelt in front of me and looked at me. My whole body hurt and I never wanted to go on this demon-made device again.

„So? Have you thought about asking me for help?" he asked, taking off my ski goggles so he could look into my crying eyes.

No Zero......I won't keeping asking for your help, even if it were the last words that would separate me from death, I would never ask you for help out of my own free will.

„Hm? Still nothing? How about the rest of the slope?" he smiled at me.

„Go to hell you asshole!" I laughed.

„I've been on the list to hell since a long time ago, but you could end up there as well, calling someone such an ugly word is a sin, you know that?" he smirked and pulled a knife out of his pocket and placed it to my neck.

Jasper appeared in my head, holding Rebecca's hands. Tears streamed down my cheeks as Zero put his knife closer to my neck until I could feel a small cut forming. It didn't hurt ...the image of ​​what I saw before hurt more, the idea of ​​Jasper and Rebecca hurt a lot more.

„Okay...you win...please Zero...help me up" I said quietly.

Yes unfortunately he won again...

His expression formed into a smirk and pulled his knife away from my neck.

„For a second I thought you'd beg me to go deeper with the knife"

He put his hands under my legs and my back and picked me up. Even though I didn't want to touch this disgusting rat, I forced myself to put my arms around his neck.

He snowboarded down the slope with me and laid me on the snow and looked me in the eyes.

„Aw you still not dead, how sad" he said as if he was disappointed.

„No, I'm not dead" I reassured him.

He grabbed my neck where he had previously cut it. I bit my lip from the pain and pulled away from him.

„Was it that hard to say please?" he asked.

I looked away from him and rather looked at something else.

„Look at me!" his hands grabbed my cheek and pulled my face closer to him. His hands were cold as ice, but his touch was gentle as if he didn't want to touch me.

For a while he just stared at me and studied my face that was covered in tears and my cheeks were red and cold.

„Next time you want to call me a jerk, you should think twice" with these words he left.

To be continued...
