School is boring just sitting in class learning important stuff. When you could be having fun with your friends laughing and giggling in Costa Rica. But no you have to sit on your butt in class and learn how to spell or do math. Everyday at school I think if I wasn't here what would I be doing. Maybe flipping maybe going on roller coasters with friends you never know.

"Winter, not yet," Autumn said. "WINTER!"

"What?" Winter said, groaning. Winter had silvery hair and icy blue eyes. Her skin was pale and a scowl was usually etched on her face.

Autumn had chestnut-brown skin, striking red hair, and brown eyes. He sighed. "It's not time for the Snow yet, Winter."

"That's not fair," Winter whined. "You've made it later than usual on purpose!"

"Stop speaking nonsense," Autumn sniffed.

"Well, it's true!" Winter growled. "I don't see why I can't just send down a couple snowflakes."

"Would you two stop fighting?" Spring asked. She had curly, light brown hair that was always messy, and bright green eyes. Freckles swarmed her face, making it a darker skin tone than the rest of her body.

"It really is quite annoying," Summer added. He had wavy blonde hair and deep blue eyes that sometimes seemed a stormy gray when he was angry.

"WINTER!" Autumn screeched. "Stop. It. Now!"

Winter slunk away, scowling. "You are so mean," she muttered.

"The people don't have all of their firewood yet," Autumn scolded her. "By sending a Snow, they could freeze."

"Humans are overrated, anyway," Winter said. "I don't see what the big deal is."

"Winter, try and understand," Spring said gently. "It is our responsibility to give humans the right seasons at the right times. We could get in huge trouble if we didn't."

"I never liked this job!" Winter yelled. "I'm giving them a Snow, whether you like it or-"

"Winter, stop goofing around," Autumn hissed. "Mother Nature will kill us if you don't stop doing this."

"Well, to be completely honest, Mother Nature wouldn't KILL us-" Summer started.

Autumn glared at him. Summer bit his lip and stopped talking.

"Anyway," Autumn continued, "if you have a problem with your job, you can always quit, but Mother Nature wouldn't be very happy about that."

Winter sighed. "Fine," she mumbled. "I'll wait."

"Good," Autumn said. "I'm sure you'll only have to wait a month or so more, Winter."

"Joy," Winter muttered sarcastically.

Summer grinned. "Anyway, Winter, if you're having any hard feelings, ya know, you can always come to me! 'Cause I can give only some of the world summer. I don't get to do this town for a while! And, think about it. You get to give a bunch of the world winter, ya know?"

Winter rolled her eyes. "Okay, Mister Happy-Forever," she said. "But I don't need to talk to you. Got that?"

Spring sighed. "Why can't we just all get along? Aren't we supposed to be friends?"

"No," Winter said.

"Yes," Autumn said, glaring at Winter.

"We are friends," Summer protested.

Spring smiled. "I think if we try a bit better, we can get along."

"You," Winter grumped, "are so cheesy."

Autumn mumbled something under his breath and got back to work.

Summer grinned. "We can do this! Group hug, guys!"

Only Spring gave him a half-hearted hug.

Winter stuck out her tongue in disgust, and turned to Autumn. "You know, that town's really looking nice there... And it would look nicer if I sent, maybe, well... A little Frost to help it out?"

"Don't try it," Autumn sighed. "They aren't ready yet."

Winter pouted. "Fine! But that means I get to give some of Alaska a blizzard, right?"

Autumn glanced at her. "Do they have firewood, or some other kind of heating... Thingamajig?"

Winter had no idea. "Oh, yeah," she said. "Uh-huh. The place I'm thinking of, yeah, they have, um, a lot of heating options."

"Go on, then," Autumn said dismissively.

Winter slunk away to give Anchorage a blizzard. "Oh, yes," she whispered. "I'll give 'em one that'll last a while."

Summer sighed, and glanced at Spring. "Why don't the others like me?"

Spring smiled a bit. "Autumn's just grumpy because he hangs around Winter so much. And Winter... Well..."

"I heard that!" Winter and Autumn yelled at the same time.

Spring giggled. "Winter's still warming up to us."
