Christmas Shopping

~Late December~

A month had passed since the bonfire, the school was still doing their best to get the building ready for students again, but I couldn't focus on anything at the moment. My days had been quick and event-less. Nothing special since that night, and I wanted to keep it that way. Occasionally I would get a text from one of the girls I met, seeing as eventually they followed me on Instagram. I reaponded but never made plans. Roxanne or Talia would come over and try to get me to leave, but I just couldn't bring myself to do it. The music from that room seemed to quiet down, thankfully, though it crossed my mind a few times to ask them to turn it off completely. My dreams were back to their regular boring nonsense, but I never ended up telling Lyla any of it. She seemed to hungover from that night, I just never told her, and eventually it was too late... but I was still thinking about it. It was still on my mind however, by now the name of that guy had slipped away under the mountain of questions I wanrss to ask him. Though I felt as if I wasn't going to see him ever again.

"Hey (Y/n)!" Lyla entered our dorm and put down the lunch she usually picks me up. "Ravioli for lunch today, its actually pretty good!" She started to do small tasks while I thanked her and began to eat. "So!" She turned to me "any plans to leave the room today?" She gave me a sympathetic look.

"I. I don't have a reason to." Was all I could manage to come up with as I devoured the ravioli.

"How about christmas shopping! There's this really cool craft shop right off campus! We can go get a tree for the took or something." Lyla looked over to me with a sympathetic look in her eyes. I sighed and put the almost empty box of food down on my bed.

"Fine. Let me take a shower." She giggled, but I could tell she was much happier than she was letting off. I proceeded to shower and get dressed before we headed out to the Christmas shop.

Third POV-

Once the two got to the Christmas shop they were pleasantly surprised to see it practically empty. "For a shop based around the Holiday just around the corner,,, there's really no one here." (Y/n) muttered as they walked into store.

"I know.." It seemed like another world inside. It was small, yet it looked as if you could get lose if you go into the next isle. "I'll go see what they have for dorming students!" Before (Y/n) could protest, her companion left her sight. She sighed as she began looking around for some kind of present. Now that she had settled in the shop, she now realized just how warm it was inside.

As she turned the corner into the next row of Christmas related items, she saw a taller male standing at the end of the isle. He had wild white hair, that didn't look tamed and covered his face. He had on an a white long sleeved shirt with a pair of blue jeans and a flannel apron. Something in her told her it was that guy from her dreams, and she ran up to him, "Hey aren't you-" Once she got close and grabbed his arm, he turned to look at her. "Oh, oh my god I'm so sorry, sir!" The young girl let go of him, now noticing he was just a rather tall elderly man.

"Its no problem at all, dear! I'm not Santa unfortunately, don't have the beard." His kind smile brought a sense of ease to the female's tense form. She chuckled and stepped back from him.

"Oh haha, no I'm sorry I didnt think you were santa.. Just mistook you for someone."

"Thats quite alright, are you looking for anything in particular?" The man now fully turned to her and revealed a name tag saying 'Welcome! I'm Andy :)'

"Uh, I guess so, I'm looking for something for my friend. She's in the store though so I don't want to let her know what I'm buying." She tried to quiet down in order to see if they could hear Lyla in the store, but it seemed to be quiet. "She's here I swear."
