To break the ice. Nina Forger had a huge crush on the basketball leader, Alan Stuart, a young man with black hair and dark eyes. There was a tournament on coming month, so Alan and his team had been seeing each other early, putting tireless efforts, dedicating themselves fully to winning and learning.

Nina had been begging Elena to accompany her.

Elena had been accompanying Nina with a quiet presence, standing by her side as her gaze met his. It seemed that he also liked her. They pretended to run freely, giving the title for fitness in PT, while the real reason was to steal glimpse of Adam from corner of her eyes.

But, today Nina wasn't here, so there was no particular reason for Elena to jog around, it was still early and there was ample of time before classes started, so Elena decided to stop by the park. The rain had already stopped by then. She stepped inside the park where the rain had left an earthy aroma.

She settled down on a bench under the tree but not for a very long time, as the tree's leaves trembled, sending droplets of rain that gently kissed her hand and shoulder. She stood up patiently and decided to take a walk, that's when she heard a puppy cry. She followed the voice and witnessed a puppy struggling to escape from the thread tied tightly around its paw, each movement more desperate than the last.

Elena freed the puppy from trap, she gently took the puppy in her arms, bought two hot dogs and one bandage. The puppy was injured, so she bandaged the puppy and fed the dog two hot dogs. She knelt down and chatted with the puppy, the puppy was as white as snow with cute green eyes "What should I call you? Ah…you are as white as snow but I can't call you snow white…" she giggled chatting.

"Snowball...do you like it?" she patted it. "Are you fine now? Snowball you need to take care of yourself, somewhere, somebody might be happy for your presence, someone might be waiting for you..." She comforted the puppy. It was 7:40 by then, so she decided to head to school. "I'll come to meet you later take care" she kissed the puppy goodbye. She rushed towards school.

Elena reached the school and settled herself for classes. It was sunny outside, the sun ray kissed her face slowing warming up. It was a long day without Nina around. She decided to visit Nina anyway.
