It was now Friday morning and I am walking through the school halls to my locker. As I get closer to my locker, I see Josh leant against it on his phone. I laugh and walk up to him. He sees me and smiles while sliding his phone in his pocket.
Josh: Good morning baby!
*I smile*
Me: Good morning bubs!
*I pull him into and kiss and then detach our lips not to long after. As I put my stuff in my locker, Josh starts talking*
Josh: So, what are you doing Christmas eve and Christmas day?
*I shrug my shoulders*
Me: I don't know. My Mom is working Christmas eve and Christmas day so I guess i'm alone till boxing day!
*He looks at me with sadness spread across his face. I flash him a reassuring smile.*
Me: Don't worry, i'm used to it. Now, why'd you want to know?
*I shut my locker, throwing my bag across my shoulder as I do and turn to face a smiley Josh. I laugh at his goofy smile, raising my eyebrows at him. He chuckles at my expression.*
Josh: Look, you can say no ok?
*I nod, confused on what he is about to ask me.*
Josh: My family absolutely adores you and my Mom really wants you to spend Christmas with us, so.....
*I look at him with a happy yet surprised look on my face*
Me: Really!?!
*He laughs and nods. I smile super big and jump into his arms.*
Me: If that was an invitation, I will totally be there!
*He laughs*
Josh: You sure you want to be there for both?
*I look at him with a 'duh' look on my face*
Me: Obviously! I have nothing better to do and I love spending time with your family!
*He laughs and pulls me into another hug. This time also kissing the top of my head. I burry my head in his chest and he sways us back and forth. We stay like that until the bell rings. Tonight is actually christmas eve. I know what your thinking, "What school is open on christmas eve?". Well, since it's Friday and Christmas eve, my school just took this week and gave us an extra week off after new years. As long as I still get my holiday break, I really don't care.*

***SKIP TO AFTER SCHOOL***
Me and Josh just parked in my drive way in our separate cars cause since i'm going to the Richards' house tonight, he's going to bring me over, therefore I need to leave my car at home. Anyway, I practically dragged him upstairs and into my room, clearly excited to be spending christmas with Josh and his family.*
Me: Babe, how do you guys usually do Christmas?
*He chuckles and plops down on my bed*
Josh: What do you mean?
Me: Well, I usually spend my Christmas' watching movies and eating pre-ordered pizza on my couch! I assume you and your family don't do that so what do you guys do?
*I hear him chuckles from behind me because I am facing my closet*
Josh: Well, first we have a Christmas eve dinner which is casual because it's just us. In the morning, we all open presents and eat breakfast in our pj's. Then we have dinner which is more fancy but not really. We usually have my grandparents and cousins over but they went to the florida or some shit this year so it's just us!
*I nod and smile*
Me: That sounds so fun!
*He laughs and I pick out the outfit I want to wear tonight. I go into the bathroom an change while Joh is on my bed on his phone probably scrolling through his socials.*
This is my outfit:
*Its hot in LA and I got the skirt in the wrong size so it goes to my mid-thigh. I walk out of my bathroom*
Me: Is this good for tonight?
*His eyes go wide but he smiles so I think thats a good thing. He nods his head like when you ask a little kid if they want a puppy*
Josh: You look HOT!
*I laugh and shake my head. Wasn't my goal but I'm cool with it. I walk to my closet and stand in front of it and pack a little bag. I put a pair of comfy Christmas pjs, an outfit for tomorrow night and then the rest of necessities such as some basic make up, hair brush, tooth brush and all that jazz. zI packed all of this in my old black 'Jansport' bag. I walk out of my bathroom after packing my stuff and put my bag on the ground. I walk to Josh and lay down beside him. I get under my blankets and Josh does too. I play a show on the old TV my Mom let me put in my room and cuddled up to Josh. I rest my head on his shoulder while his head rest's on mine. My hands are tangled with his, playing with his fingers as we watched 'Outer Banks' probably for the 3rd time together. We stay like that for an hour beside deciding we should get going. I get my bag and head to Josh's car. He drives to his house, holding my hand the whole time as we talk and joke around.*
