Ew." Snow. There went my good day.
He looked surprised. "Don't you like snow?"
"No. That means it's too cold for rain." Obviously. "Besides, I thought it was supposed to come down in flakes — you know, each one unique and all that. These just look like the ends of Q-tips."
"Haven't you ever seen snow fall before?" he asked incredulously.
"Sure I have." I paused. "On TV."
Mike laughed. And then a big, squishy ball of dripping snow smacked into the back of his head. We both turned to see where it came from. I had my suspicions about Eric, who was walking away, his back toward us — in the wrong direction for his next class. Mike apparently had the same notion. He bent over and began scraping together a pile of the white mush.
"I'll see you at lunch, okay?" I kept walking as I spoke. "Once people start throwing wet stuff, I go inside."
He just nodded, his eyes on Eric's retreating figure.

"哇，"邁克叫道，"下雪嘍。"
我看了看那些小小的棉花一樣的雪團兒，它們在人行道上越積越厚，從我的臉前橫掃而過，狂飛亂舞。
"噫。"討厭的雪，我的好日子就這麼完了。
他顯得很驚訝："你不喜歡下雪？"
"不喜歡。那意味著天冷得都不能下雨了。"顯而易見，"而且，我還以為雪下下來的時候，應該是一片片的雪花呢--你知道的，每一朵都很獨特，等等。這些看上去就像棉籤頭兒似的。"
"你以前沒見過雪？"他懷疑地問道。
"當然見過啦。"我頓了一下，"在電視上見過。"
邁克笑了起來。接著，一個溼漉漉的大雪球啪地一聲砸在了他的後腦勺上。我倆都扭過頭去，看是從哪裡扔過來的。我懷疑是埃裡克乾的，他正走開，背對著我們，方向與他下一節課的方向相反。邁克顯然也持相同的看法。他俯下身去，攏了一堆白色的雪塊。
"我們吃午飯的時候見怎麼樣？"我邊走邊說，"人們只要一開始扔溼東西，我就往屋裡鑽。"
他只是點了點頭，眼睛盯著埃裡克遠去的背影。
