Snow crunches under my booted feet as I make my way through the busy streets of District 4. Gemini and Tauras are asleep within me for once. The two of them hardly ever let me come out, they say I'm too delicate or too weak, well I guess they're right sort of. I am delicate and I am soft but I'm certainly not weak. I look up at the sky as more snowflakes fall to the ground without a sound. I love winter, it turns everything so magical looking and beautiful. The ocean that gives the people of my district work looks beautiful, a gray blue pond in a white world. For a day like today, the streets are busy in the district, I can't understand why, its so cold outside. I zip my warm jacket closer around my ears and continue on my way, keeping my head down.[/size][/blockquote]
A bell chimes as I enter the store and warm air welcomes me as I step inside. The shopkeeper, a young man with fiery red hair, greets me warmly as I tap snow from my boots. i don't want to trail any snow through the store, that would be rude. I smile at the shopkeeper and walk over to the hats and scarves. There is an asortment of different colored scarves to choose from and the hats are all multicolored. I know that my younger sister is in need of a new hat so I pick one out for her. Its a pretty turquoise color with red and green embroidering on it. I know she'll like it. I pay for the hat and head back out into the snowy air, the bell jingling goodbye as I leave.
Not quite wanting to head home yet, I allow myself to wander around a little bit and look at the shops. The square is surrounded by many different shops, all of them with colorful displays in the front. I'm not paying attention to where I'm going and suddenly, I walk into someone. "I'm so sorry" I say, blushing and looking up.
