POV: IRENE

I was having a nervous breakdown.

Suddenly the floor beneath me froze to solid ice.

"Oh crap-"

My powers refused to stay in control.

I can't take part in the pageant like this.

I'm terrified to get caught.

That is my curse, my story.

Being a real life Elsa.

I can turn everything & everyone into solid ice.

These powers of mine have always been a burden upon my relationships.

In middle school, I had a guy I liked.

He rejected my confession and I turned him into ice.

It was an accident, an impulsive response.

He suffered extreme consequences of that.

Ofcourse he would.

He was frozen for hours.

Since that experience, I have refused to associate myself with any guy.

Love is a luxury I just can't afford.

"Irene-" Someone called out to me.

POV: JINYOUNG

I slipped and fell onto the concrete.....ice floor!?

How is this even possible?

I stared at the floor in shock, as Irene approached me.

She offered her hand at first but as I was about to take it,

She stepped back anxiously.

"Wahh- okay, alright. I'll just help myself."

I got up and brushed the ice off me.

"So- Beauty Pageant huh?" I inquired her timidly.

I wanted to see her reaction.

After all I was the one who nominated her for it.

"I'm not participating." She uttered sternly.

"What? Why!?"

My exclamation caught her by surprise.

"Because I don't want to. It's a stupid competition pitting women against each other. The judges view us based on looks? Who are they to judge us?"

Her answer surprised me.

I didn't think she would be this mad about it.

"Irene- I....I gave your name for the pageant."

She stared at me with anger in her eyes.

"Why? Why did you do that!? Did I ask you to!? Why do you keep interfering in my peaceful life!?"

What?

Interfering in her peaceful life?

Did she really view it that way?

Her anger was absolutely pointless & not valid.

I scoffed, staring at the floor.

I was baffled.

"I'm sorry. I really feel sorry for you. All along I've been trying to be a friend to you yet you've always pushed me away."

She flinched her eyebrows at my words.
