22- I win!

Today, it's the Christmas festival and it's his birthday. December 21. 

Phoenix is way more lovey-dovey than I imagined him to be, in a good way of course. He says the cringiest things out of the blue but it somehow makes me very happy. We still haven't told anyone else. I decided to tell Lucia about this thing today. It's going to be fun. Hopefully.

"Skyla! I'm here!" Lucia arrives.

Think of the devil and she arrives. xD.

"Lucee!" I go up to her and hug her. 

"You said you wanted to tell me something?" She asks me.

"Well... about that... I'll tell you on the way? I want you to help me get a cake for Pheonix. You know before we go to the festival?"

She looked at me, confused. 

"AH! I'LL EXPLAIN ON THE WAY!"

I grab her by the arm and rush outside. 

"HEY, DON'T TAKE MY LUCIA AWAY LIKE THAT!", my brother screams from upstairs.

I roll my eyes while Lucia giggles. 

We walk towards the best baker I know, Lucia's mother, Shellie. Shellie's cakes are of the best delicacy and probably the best ones I've tasted.

"So why do you suddenly want my mom to bake a cake for Phoenix out of all people?", she gives me some questionable looks.

I stand in front of her and tell her,
"Luce listen... Don't be mad at me for telling it right now but Phoenix kind of like confessed to me?" I give an awkward smile.

"WHAT? WHEN? HOW? WHY?"

"Okay, okay calm down!"

"BRO, YOU'RE TELLING ME THIS NOW?"

"It was just a few days ago... and I felt like saying in person would be better."

"Okay, I agree on that. Did you tell the other?"

"Ah, Nixy said that he wanted to tell Aiden because you know, he thinks Aiden is a little overprotective when it comes to me."

"What about Kai?" She mumbles.

"We had a reconciliation. Agreed on being friends."

"DAAMNN. NOW, TELL ME EVERY SINGLE THING THAT HAPPENED. ALL THE DETAILS, RIGHT NOW!", she demands.

I start off with me finding him in the court and how he-

"HE KISSED YOU? BRO! THAT PHOENIX!"

I giggle and continue listing out the events in order. 

"I am really happy for you Skye! If he ever hurts you, just tell me, I will beat him to a pulp!", she hugs me.

"Thanks Luce."

"Wait, that reminds me of something", I suddenly say.

"Hmm?"

"You remember we had a bet right? The one we placed at the beginning of the year?"

"OOOOOHHH, YAAA... ABOUT THAT...." Lucia slowly starts walking.

"HEY HEY HEY, YOU CAN'T RUN AWAY FROM BUYING ME A WHOLE MEAL TODAY! STOP RIGHT THERE!"

"FINE FINE FINE, I'll pay for the food you get at the festival? Happy?" She mumbles.

"YAAAYY! FREE FOOD FOR THE WIN!" We both laugh and head over to her place.
