The sudden wind burst in her face when she opened the door. The cold nipped at her nose and she immediately slammed the front door shut.
“Mom! I can’t go to Badminton in this weather!”
“Elizabeth dear, yes you can, it’s an indoor sport, right?”
Elizabeth sighed and nodded.
She quickly opened the door and ran outside into the freezing cold. Her boots left large indents in the sparkling white snow. Her sneakers and racket were banging at her side, annoyingly. She trudged through the deep snow and managed to reach the front doors of her school. Saint Andrews Junior High was known best for its badminton club. She gave a small grin.
Elizabeth walked through the front doors and slowed down to feel the warm heat from the heaters and then soon sped up to normal pace once again. Walking through the hallways seemed to take forever now these days. In grade seven they seemed to fly by but now they just seemed like hours. Finally she had reached the large glass doors that entered to the gym. She held her breath in and stepped in.
The room was empty, except for two boys rallying in the center of the gym back and forth. Elizabeth peaked around and saw no one else. She sighed and hanged her head.
“What’s wrong m’dear?” A voice from behind asked.
Elizabeth spun around on her heel to see whose voice it was. Of course she knew who it was. She had taken in his voice twice every week, wishing for more. Her hazel eyes meet his gaze and were drawn into his beautiful green eyes. She saw kindness and love in his eyes. James.
“Nothing, you just startled me” Elizabeth laughed.
James started to laugh gently. His hearty laugh was warm enough to fill anyone’s heart. Elizabeth jumped onto the gym stage to put her coat and boots away beside where James would put his. After putting her blue and white court shoes on she jumped off of the gym stage but only to have her ankle pulled by a boy, she then fell down flat on her face in front of James.
“Ow…” Elizabeth groaned. She was still lying down when James bent down beside her and helped her sit up.
“Are you okay, Elizabeth?”
Elizabeth merely shook her head, dazed by what happened. He had one arm on her back and one arm under her legs. He picked her up and carried her to the men’s bathroom. He set her on the sink counter.
“Let me see your face”
Elizabeth refused to take her hands off her face, afraid she might look like a freak. James then gently took her hands into his own and looked at her softly. He gave a soft laugh and got some paper towel. He then dabbed in the water from the tap and wiped away the blood that was on her nose. She gave a small laugh.
“That’s more like it” he smiled “You never seem to laugh or smile at Badminton!”
She began to giggle.
“Would you like me to carry you back out into the gym, your majesty?”
Elizabeth then nodded. James turned around and let her softly jump onto his back. He then piggy backed her to the gym, letting her sit off for the first few drills of the night.
