Ski Trip Trouble Read Online Free PDF

with Mitch. You were about to go skiing with them, and you know it would be rude to blow them off for a guy. But then again, you haven’t seen Mitch in months—and you would love to catch up and hang out with him….
    You decide to snowboard with Mitch.
    You tell Mitch you’ll see him later, and ski with the girls.

Chapter 17
    You go down the hall to search for Mrs. Bulow, and on your way, you run into Dan—Heather’s crush.
    â€œHey,” he says. “How’s your room?” “It’s good, but we’ve got this problem. I’m looking for Mrs. Bulow; have you seen her?”
    â€œNo,” he says, leaning against the wall, “but I’m glad I ran into you.” He grins.
    â€œWhy?” you ask him, confused. “Is there something you needed?”
    â€œSort of,” he says, and pushes his blond hair back from his face. “I just wanted to say that I still think you’re really beautiful, and I still like you. I can’t help it.”
    You’re shocked. “I thought you had a crush on Heather,” you say to him.
    â€œNot really, I mean, honestly, I just started hanging out with her to get closer to you, and then she sort of started liking me, so…” He looks up at you. “Look, I feel like you’ve never really given me a chance. I know we had that one date—”
    â€œI wouldn’t call that a date!” you laugh,remembering the day you went to a movie with him.
    â€œYeah, that movie
was
really terrible,” Dan laughs. “But we still had fun, right?”
    â€œI don’t know—,” you start to say, but he cuts you off.
    â€œI’m ready to give it another chance”—he looks at you—“to give
us
another chance. If you are.”
    You remember, for a split second, how you used to feel about him, when you first met. What
did
go wrong between you two?
    â€œLet’s go skiing together, right now, just us. Let’s hang out and see what happens,” Dan says.
    â€œBut I think Heather might really like you,” you argue.
    â€œWe’ll deal with that later,” Dan says. “Come on, please? Just give me one chance, then I’ll leave you alone.” He leans in close to you and touches your hair gently. It does seem like he’s really into you— could it be true that he was just using Heather to get close to you?
    You look back over your shoulder to be sure that no one has seen you two together, then you decide:
    You should say no to Dan.
    You want to join Dan for skiing.

Chapter 18
    You race back to your room, and throw on your ski clothes with a quick explanation to the girls. “Mitch asked me to meet him for skiing, so I’m going,” you say as you dash out the door.
    â€œHave fun,” Sierra says in a sarcastic tone. You can tell that she doesn’t like the idea—maybe he does have a girlfriend, but so what? It’s not like it’s a date or anything…right?
    By the time you get downstairs, rent some skis, and get out to the chairlift, it looks like Mitch and Travis have been waiting awhile.
    â€œWhat took so long?” Mitch says.
    You don’t know what to say, so you just shake your head. “Sorry.”
    â€œThe line is a mile long now,” Mitch sighs. “Let’s just go to the T-bar,” he says, huffing over through the snow with his skis. But when you get to the T-bar, it looks scary—you’re supposed to balance your entire weight on this metal bar and sit just right so that it pulls you up the mountain.
    â€œI don’t know about this,” you have to say. “What happens if I fall off?”
    â€œIt’s not cool,” Mitch says seriously. “They have to stop the whole thing until you can get on again. So don’t fall off.” He looks up to the front of the line impatiently.
    â€œThis line is long, too,” Travis points out. “I noticed,” Mitch
