"oh man... i dont wanna wake up." i moan. "shelby? can you turn on the light?"
'I dont wanna get up either."
wow. we're up, we're dressed, we're out, we're on the bus, we're up at the mountain.

Down we go, I wait for shelby. I dont see her. I go up again, and i still dont see her.
Hey shelb!" I yelled. "wait for me, k?"
"ok." she yelled back.

I get to my cousin, and she told me that some old guy had run oer her. she said that the same thing had happened to seirrah too. her toes hurt really bad, and she was afraid she wasn't going to make it down the rest of the hill.
by the time she did, she decided, (and mind you, that this was only her first run down) that she as gonna sit the rest of this out.
I got angry. "shelb, itz a waste of money! what are you gonna do all day? you came up here to snowboard, not read!"
Her toes hurt though, so she sat the rest of the day out.
now, I went back up, just to warm myself up for manzanita.
'manzy, here i come!" I felt like yelling. I was nervous, i was excited, and i was scared all at the same time.
I got my foot hooked in, and went down the small hill fairly fast. it hadn't snowed the night before, and it was sunny out. the snow was melting then freezing up again. it was really packed. we finally get out of hesitation, and we go down.
I'm doin good. I'm carving nice and sweet. bam! I fall. no biggie, ya know. I get back up with out waiting, and go at it again. I'm feelin' the mountain. I doin ok. then I start goin kinda fast, and my board goes into fakie. I know i had just lost control. my board bites the snow, and i do a face plant in the snow, my shirt comes up and the snow abraises my stomach. OUCH!
ok, i'm loosin my cool now. but i get back up anyway. this isn't that hard. bam. fall again. I get back up though, and finally i see sierrah, she out by a tree, where she fell.
"wait for me!" she yelled.
"I can't!" I yelled back. i see a sign that says slow down, and i get scared again. the snow is way to hard, and I know i'm gonna fall again. BAM! twist twist turn, shrit goes up, followed by snow, whew. I stopped. I sit up, and realize, my stomach really hurts.
"Ok, just breathe. you'll be ok. the pain will stop soon. you CAN get through the next few minutes. after you get to the bottom, you can go find shelb, and eat lunch, alright?" I kept reasurring myself. i got up.
I start going down again, and i'm feeling dreadful. the place where people get stuck, I do a superman dive, and land on my stomach.
oh shit! I think to myself, and i turn over real quick. I can't breathe! Inhale, exhale, faster and faster until i felt i could breathe at a normal pace. I knocked the wind out of me!
"shit." i whispered. this isn't fun. the snow hurts like a bitch, and fricken stole my breath away.
"hey you ok?" a guy asked me.
"yeah, im just tryin to get my breath back." I replied, holding my stomach.
"hey you ok?" A girl asked, and then fell on her knees.
"yeah, I'll be fine." I replied.
"oh!" she gasps and points.
I look over at the lift, and see a boy with skies on hanging from the arm of the the chair! omg! this guy, climbs up the post, (the chair was like, right infront of it) and into the chair. the little boy had already dropped his ski poles. The guy who had crawled up threw off his gloves, and pulled the boy up by his arms. everyone cheered to know he was ok. I was like screw it! I can hardly breathe! lol.

so, i go inside, try to find shelby, just to find out she was outside the intire time! ug. so we get our food, we sit down to eat, and i tell her about what happened. she doesn't care.
so we're sitting there, and all of a sudden, my legs start to ache. I need to go down the mountain again. I argue with myself about it for about 20 minutes. finally i go outside, go up the lift, and come back down without falling. but that feeling that i was gonna bif and break my neck wouldn't leave. the snow was more ice than anything else.
I turn in my stuff we wait around for a few hours. finally go back to the bus, wait out there for a few hours, and then get on, and get ready to leave.
I listen to music as long as i could, and watched shelby sleep. we got home, and i didn't have much to say to my mom. I kept trying to explain how bad my wipeouts hurt, but couldn't articulate well.
we got home, i ran upstairs, and went straight to bed. everytime i turned over, I woke up, because my neck hurt that bad.
the day was over and done with.
Bunny hill holds no fun, and i'm scared ( i think) of manzy. the others, i don't even want to try.... i'm not that good yet.
aw well. we'll see, hmm?
